Mrs. Gov. Harvey.

The Madison Journal makes public the man
ner in which the intelligence of Gov. Harveys
death was revealed to his estimsble wife
Mrs. Harvey was before her marriage Miss
Perrine, Of Kenosha, and sister of Mrs. DR..
Sawyer of Chicago, where Mrs. Harvey now is.
1t is unnecessary to say that in her sorrow she
has the warm sympathy of whole people,
Gov Harvey leaves no family except his
wife. To her the terrible news came this
morning with suddenness that almost de-
prived her of reason. She was at the Capitol
when the dispatch was received by Adj't Gen.
Gaylord, obtaining subscriptions TO aid des-
titute family in the city. An attempt was
made to get her to her boarding place before
the contents Of the dispatch was made
known. She at once saw by the countenances
of those whom she met that some bad tidings
had been received. Adj't. Gen. Gaylord and
Mr.. Sawyer, her brotherfn-aw, attempted to
accompany her home, and told her that ru.
NOR had been received that gave m some
anxiety in regard TO the Governor. As GENT
Gaylord was attempting to conceal the full ex-
tent of the calamity, she stopped while they
were walking through the park and sad: tell
me if he is desdn' While he eyaded dirrct
reply, she lead the fatal news in the expression
of his face and dropped senseless on the side

conveyed home. but remained in state near

We have no movement of Importance to
chronicle this week. Of either branch of the
grand armies on this side Of sec.ssia.
Com Foote, with his Mississippi Flotilla, is
still at Fort Pillow, upon which it seems ne
has made but little impression as yet Th e
mortar boats continue to fire at intervals.
Gen. HaIlecks grand army seems to be all
ready for the final encounter with Boauregard,
and is slowly but surely advancing Oh Corinth,
which must fall whenever the blow is struck.
There is a rumor that the place is already be-
ing evacuated
Gen. Mcclellan has set down before York
town and is said to be pushing forward his
seige works with energy preparing fbr the
fnal assault and reduction of that place We
really hope that Gen Mcclellan viii make
something out Of the seige Of Yorktown to
Justify the hope and expectations that he has so
long been the object Of Our predictions have
always been in his favor, aud we still look for
the result that will justify these predictions
Gen. Mcdowell is still near Fredericksburg.
While we are waiting for the result of
movements on this side of secessia, the capture
and occupation of New Orleans by our forces
uuder Com Porter and Faragut comes to
US through rebel sources, as fact accomplis h-
ed.
We are as yet Of course without particulars
save what comes from rebel papers, of the
capture.
The occupation of New Orleans by the Ma
tional forces, will have telling effect On the
rebellion. With the loss Of New Orleans i
loses its most important port aud dspos of
supplies
There was rumor yesterday that tht
President was III possession Of Information
that would speedily eventuate in q cessation o
hostilities, but its reliability is doubtful.

ment in lieu of tax bill, or the issue

discontinuance of mail routes in that
State, which were referred to the Com

the casualties of the action:
No accurate list of the killed and
wounded can be made for some time.
From the best authority | can gather,
/ Judge our killed will amount to two
thousand, and our wounded and miss
ing to eight thousand more, Of whom
four thousand or FIVE thousand are prs
oners. Some of the regiments which
were badly cuI up at DoneIson, VIII
have to be disbanded. In one the
Eleventh Illinois-there are only one
hundred men left. In others, all the
field officers and most Of the captains
are killed.
The 18th Wisconsin Regiment was

pineries, and composed of the hardest

work in lumber mills all summer. They

The accounts which have been received
from time Time of the the fiendish treatment of
our dead soldiers upon the battle field, were
thought by many TO be sxaggerations, because
it could hardly be credited EhaC men in this
age Of the world, could be capable Of such
brutality. But these statements more recent
ly have come well authenticated. The disin-
s9Iment of the dead bodies Of our soldiers at
Bull Run by she rebels, ana the various uses
which have been made of their bones, is toe
revolving to contemplate. II is stated on what
appears as reliable authority, that various uteB-
sis have been manufactured out of the skulls
Of northern soldiers who fell on the battle field,
and out of their jaw bones, spears for the rebel
horsemen have been made. There is nothing
in the history of Vandalism during the dark
ages, which snrpasses this; we look in vain
among the savage nations, either ancient Or
modern, for examples more infamous.
And why is it, 10 this age of civilization and
christian progress, that human beings can
sink so low in the scale of humanity? 1t is be-
cause Of their surroundings aud the democrat
izing influence which penetrates their social or
ganization. In short, it is the barbarism of
slavery. Slavery wherever it is tolerated and
upheld, blunts the moral sensibiIities makes
sayages and brutes Of men. I his must bo so
from the very nature Of things; those who are
educated to treat any class of human beings as
mere chattela or things, must of necessity be

Notwithstanding slavery tends to barbar-
ism as Senator Sumner has well said, and as
has been demonstrated by the fisndish mutll&.
lions of our dead soldiers, yet there are great
numbers of people all over the north who are
its apologists. There are very many who call

now on the march again for the field of action.
We are ordered to report to Gen. Curtis, as
soon as possible, which we are doing by fore
ed marches, and then hope that we will have
some work to do again. There is considerable
disturbance in camp this morning, among the
men, which l am afraid will amount to open
mutiDy. The reason of the fuss is this-all the
old men who were with the regiment last sum-
mer when they were taken prisoners, enlisted
with the Understanding that they were all ex-
changed, but they have found out that thew
were not, and it creates great deal Of excite.
ment among the men, Our Colonel will do all
ne can to have them exchanged before they 20

not march until they have their papers to show
that they are exchanged.

eight months campaign on slave soil,
IN localities where Slavery assumes its
mild type, has made me feel-and do
assure my conservative ministerial
brethren-that the whole system is in
famous. The sins of Slavery ?There
are none; it is slaveholding itself that
is the sin. It's effect on the masters is
one Of its greatest evils; it perverts
the conscience, warps the intellect, bru-
taLizes the heart Believe no such
nonsense IS that 'the slaves are con>
