Are they Tories ?


The Republican press, under the leader
ship Of the Chicago Tribune, in abiding to
the recent state elections, state that certain
Republicans, and certain Tories have
been elected Members of Congress in the
states Of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana.
The Tribune says that Republicans have
gone to the war, and when they return we
shall hear Of no moro "pro slavery victc-
sies."
What kind Of a report is that to be cir.
culated broadcast through rebcldo,n, or
the old governments of Europe? Are there
eight Congressional districts in Pcnnsylva-
MIA in which there is a prepondcrancc Of
Tory" or secession voters? Is that the
impression best to be inst!cd into
the minds Of the poor deludsd dupcs
Of secession leaders in the cotton states |?
Is that the announcement which the next
steamer should take to England, as rea-
son why foreign powers should not inter.
fere? Is there any foundation for such
statements as paradcd with apparent guste
in Republican journals =:
Nay; none of these questions can be
answered in the affirmative. 1t is reckless
abuse by partisan papers of that portion
Of the loyal American public, which sees
fit to act with another party, and as such
is perfectly detestable. 1t is such journal
izing which cmbarrasscs the prosecution
Of the war, and gives to rebellion its hope
Of success.

District, we are informed by one whose de-
votion to that party has certainly been true
and earnest, that himself, and about seven

ings arc becoming very chilly and frosty l
find it great comfort As sit and warm
my feet by it sometimes think--"God bless
the Quartermaster.'
This morning and afternoon we went, as
did Christ and the multitudes up upon the
side Of the mountain to pray and preach
at the close Of the afternoon service, in
vited all that wished to be in Bible class
to come to my tent at ! past 8 o'clock this
evening. Ate o'clock l went to the hos
pi:al to see the sick,-returning little
before the time for Bible class found a
great crowd about the tent door. Max
ing my way through them to the in
side found the tent packed full of men, as
thick as they could sit upon the camp cot
and the floor, with Bible in hand ready for
the lesson. We began at the 1st Of ''Ths
Acts and after most pleasant, and pro.
fitable discussion, Of an hour and ten min.
utes, found that we had reached the third
verse. Ii we only had q church to meet
in we could have the largest Bible class |
ever saw. They all seemed so anxious to
get in, and many were obliged to 90 away,
without getting near enough to SEQ in.

his body and laid it beside the grave of

cry from one post to another, till 1t goes
clear around the camp, 20 o'clock and all
is well' Every half hour throgh the dead
of the night we hear the same, with the
hour varied. 1t makes US feel that we are
in the enemies country and that our slum
bers would be disturbed by terrible alarms
If were not for the faithful sentnels stand
ing out in the dark 10 guard us. Outside
of the sentinels, from four to five miles are
the pickets, upon every road leading into
camp, and beyond the pickets several miles
are the vidcttes. The pickcts and videttes
are taken from the Sd Mo. cavalry which
