WASHINGTON. Sept.9d, We have all

Virginia. Among other things, il is as
serted that the rebels are surrounded by
greatly superiour force of Federals, and
cannot escape without fighting the sever

fighting all day Sunday between Centre

Centreville on Monday afternoon. A Sc
we're engagement took place the same eve-
ming about two miles north of Fairfax
Court House, in which Gems. kearney
and Stevens were killed, the Federals
winning the victory. In previous en-
gagements. it is reported, the rebel Gen.
eral Ewel was killed, and Sigel and Stone

Gen Mcclellan has been appointed to
the command of the Notifications of Wash

Lincoln Logic.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, in a speech delivered
at the Cooper Institute, Feb. 81, 1860.
made use of the f,llowing language, In
reference to the charges then mado against
the republican party relative to the inva-
sion Of Virginia:
elf any member of our party is guilty
in that matter. you know it, or you do not
know it. II you do know it, you are in
excusable to not designate the man and
prove the fact. If you do not know it.
you are inexcusable to assert it.
You need not be told that persistng in a
charge which one does not know to be
! true, is simply malicious slander. y
You never dealt fairly by US in this affair.
When it occurred, some important State
elections were at hand, and you were in ev-
ident glee with the belief that by charging
the blame upon us. you could get an ad-
vantage over us in those elections. =
Republican doctrines and declarations are
accompanied with a continual protest
against any interference whatever with
your slaves, or with you about your
slaves"
We commend the above to the candid
consideration of those OF our republican
friends who are in favor Of fair play in
these troublous times. The State elections
are approaching, the charge of dlsloyalty
is made against the democratic party by
radical republicans. because Mr.. Lincoln's
protest against interference with slaves
shall be still needed This is the head and
front Of their offending; may they not, in
justice, demand that the logic of Mr.. Lin
coin, as defined in the foregoing extracts
from his Cooper Institute speech. be ap-
piled to them now as he applied it to re-
publicans then. 1t is poor rule that will
not work both ways.

will do his own thinking, that perma'
nent conquest and subjugaton of even sew
en- States. and holding them as conquered
provinces. is an impossibility.
Any attempt by the free States. to CON-
quer the slaveholding States, must fail and
result in final separation, or in servile
war, which must result iu the Africauiza-
ton of the Southern slaveholding States.

conservative people to remain silent while
radicalsm developed itself in Congress by
taxing them to pay for feeding. clothing
and educating the negroes, at any time,
but more especially at the present time,
when all the resources Of the nation were
taxed almost to the utmost limit TO carry
on the war. He argued that the only way
10 correct the evils complained of, was TO
repudiate them, and sustain with all our
energy, conservative men and measures.
These evils could never be corrected by a
union with, and support of, radical men.
He did not propose TO weaken or GRIP
pie the administration. but to purify and
strengthen it, by displacing those who
have been instrumental in bringing about
these divisions among the people, and put
ting in their stead those who would con-
fine themselves in their official acts, with
in the limits of the Constitution.
Altogether the speech was an exhibition
OF 6Ounu common sense NleWo, IoICioiy
presented and we'll received.
At the conclusion of the speech the au-
dience was entertained by the soul-stirr n
strains Of the German Band from Bremen,
and the meeting closed with three hearty
cheers for the Union and the Constitu-
tion
We suggest to all those who have not
heard Judge TuRPIE the propriety Of en-
bracing the first opportunity of doing SO;
they will find him an able advocate OF
sound doctrines, a very pleasant speaker
and man fully equal to any with whom
he may come into competition on the

five or six hundred persons desirous of
hearins Jud re TURPIE had congregated at
the Seminary Grove.
The Judge commenced by saying that
the war was now a necessity. that whether
or not l. could have been avoided. the only
question now is, how can il soonest and
bes be brought 10 close? He stated that
It was a war in which the nation could use
any aud everv means of defence known to
the Constitution and the rules of civilized
warfare lie did not propose TO go back
o, e ai o. Sumpter; when that was at
tacked. and taken, the President properly
made cali for volunteers to suppress the
rebellion aud sustain the laws that IN Ju-
ly 1861. Congress almost unanimously
adopted what has since been known as the
Crittendes resolution, only two votes in
the Senate, and ,wo in the House of Rep
resentatives, against 1t, one of these in each
house being an abolitlonist, and the others
having since engaged in the rebellion. He
indorsed the action Of Congress in passing
the resolution, and said that what was
true then as indicating the sense of this
nation as to the object oil mis- war, is true
now.
Those same men met in regular session
and instead of assisting to carry on the
war in accordance with the principles
enunciated in the Crittenden resoiu lion,
had leglslated almost solely for the ad-
vancemeDt Of sectional issues, such as the
abolition OF slavery in the District OF Col
umbia; resolving 10 buy negro slaves Of
such States as might be willing TO sell. at
a cost to the nation of about $3.50, ,OOO, 900:
the recognition of Hayli and Liberia at an
expense of $4,000 per annum, for all
time to come. Negro schools and board =
ing houses for the slaves OF rebels were
projected and received the sanction Of
Congress. DC, DC.
He then proceeded to state that not one
OF these sectional measures were necessa-
ry for he successful prosecution OF the
war. but each aud all, were calculated to
prolong and embitter it. He alluded TO
the recent cry Of no party. and the evils Of
dividing public sentiment during the con-
tinuance OF the rebellion, and showed con-
clusively that the enactment Of these sec
tional laws, by the last Congress. was the
real and only cause Tor whatever OF divis
