GREELEY LEcruRING HONEST ABE LIN
coLN.'-The Hon. Massa Greeley it appears,
delivered at the Smithsonian Institution, in
Washington, on Friday evening last, lecture
on The Nation;' and it further appears that
among his audience ''on the platform" were
President Lincoln, Secretary Chase and several
Senators and representatives. This was
shrewd dodge on the part of our white coated
philosopher to get hearing from Honest Old
Abe;" and Greeley is not the man to lose his
chance when the cause of Cuf1ee is at stake
And go, looking full in the face of the Presi-
dent, he told him that sthe misfortunes of our
country had been its reluctance to meet
its antagonists (Southern slavchoders) in the
eye;" that slavery is the aggressor, and has
earned rebels DOOM" that he was "against
compromise, because it implied concession to
armed treason and ho believed this contest
''would result in enduring benefits to the cause
OF human freedom. c., the abolition of
Southern slavery.
Now the question arises, that having heard,
by word of mouth, the instructions of Field
Marshal Greeley, will "Honcst Abe Lincoln''
obey them, or will he still adhere to his own
policy in the prosecution Of this war! We in
cline to think that "Honest Old Abe" remeri-
bering Bull run, will set down Massa Greeley
as among the false prophets, and will still hold
fast to the conviction that our loyal States are
strong enough to put down this Southern rebel
lion without resorting to the savage instrumcn-
talitics of q servile insurrection. If Greeley
can find nothing more profitable to do in Wash
ington than to ventilate his abolition fallacies
in prosy lectures, he would do better to return
at once to watch the movements of the Albany
lobby, in order that the "Little Villain" and his
cliqne may not monopolizc all the fat jobs and
pickings and stealings Of our immaculate Lc-
gislaturc. We suspect, however, that Massa
Greeley has other irons in the fire at Washing
ton, and that he is only using the "almighty
Niger" to save appearances. Where is Mat
teson.

ENGLAND LEcTURNG Us UPON THE HUMANE
rEs.-The English journals have of late en-
tered into lengthy discussions of the present
war, the result Of which appears to be that
they think we are fierce and bloodthirsty peo
pie. They say it is the high processing Puri-
tans who threaten to murder in cold blood, and
the citizens of New York and Boston who are
exulting in the commission of wanton destruc-
ton, and they look forward to the war between
Anglo-Saxon Americans becoming like war Of
cannibals This is language bordering more
closely upon the insane than any we have pre-
viously read in newspapers that have hitherto
prided themselves upon their moderation. 1t
is unnecessary to say that it is unjust and con-
veys false impression. II is libel upon the
American character and our conduct of the
war, and disgraceful to those who, knowing the
facts, wilfully give utterance to it. This war
has been conducted with an observance of hui
manity which puts to shame many of the acts
committed by England during her foreign wars
We have done nothing so far which is a re-
proach to us as a civilized nation. We have
not perpetrated the atrocities that England did
during the Indian mutiny; we have blown no
prisoners from the cannon's mouth, as the mill
tary authorities of Bengal did; nor have we
driven crowds of our enemies into a street and
called up rife companies to shoot them, as the
British army did in China. We have never be-
headed our Presidents, as England has her
sovereigns, and we have much less to repent O.
in the way of offences against humanity than
she has. 1t is therefore unjustifable for the
press of England to reproach us for imaginary
wrongs in this the day of our tribulation; and
it will be well for her to remember that as she
sows so shall she reap, and that we are not to
be libelled with impunity.

CRYING OVER SPILLED MnK.-It seems that
Immediately after our occupation of Port Royal
the implacable fire-eaters of the neighboring
sea islands proceeded to the Improbable work
of burning their rice and sea island cotton, and
that they had thus disposed Of some ten millions
of dollars worth of cotton alone, when the pros
pect Of English Intervention and English gold
caused them to mourn over their losses and
their folly. Now, however, with the settlement
of the Trent affair, they may console themselves
with the reflection that if English gold and Eng
lish goods, more precious than gold are still
beyond their reach, they have, at least, in Civ
ing their cotton to the flames, saved it from the
Yankees" But, after all, the question which
will perplex the Carolina chivalry will be,
"How long can we stand this burning Of our
own substance?"

MESSAGE OF GovERNo,, ANDREW This mes
sage is excellent till 1t COMES near the close,
when the club foot of abolition is displayed in
prayer to see the day when the loyal army Of
the North, with both hands pledged to the
solemn task of war, and with neither haQd
averted to uphold the institution which is the
cause of all this woe, and that their brow
shall turn not back and their sword return not
empty until the grand deliverance shall be ac-
complished." This is nothing but sheer fanati-
cism; and if the 27 7,0O0.men of Massachusetts,,
who have gone into the volunteer service,
should attempt what Governor Andrew calls
"the grand deliverance," it would be better
they had remained at home; for by embarking
in such crusade they would do more harm
than all the good that can ever be accom-
plished by their fighting. This is not to fight
for the Union, but for its dissolution. We do
not, however, believe that the majority of tho
Massachusetts troops agree with Governor
Andrew in his abolition, one idea view of the
war. If the Union army shall ever be defeated
it will turn out that an attempt to carry out
the emancipation policy, directly or iadirectlD
in the face of the solemn obligations of the
constitution, has been the cause Of our failure.

On Sunday morning, December 9TH, 1882, af-
tes a short, but severe illness, ED " AID r,
Youngest son Of Thomas and Margaret Z. MT
tington, in the 18th year Of his age,
Seldom have the shafts OF death been almed
with a more certain and fatal effect, than III tne
family circle of which the deceased was an idol
ized member for only few short months nave
e1ansed since Monroe, an older BROTHER (than
whom nobler spirit never breathed) met his
death upon the battle field and was by strangers
hands consigned to istant grave; and mem
orv recalls another who a few years ago, found
his last resting place amid, the pillows OF the
ocean: and now, Eddie" the Benjamin of the
household. has gone to join them III that last
long sleep that knows no waking.
The deceased was a youth of much PROMISE
and by his sprigth]inesss of manner, ana amlaol-
; ;tv Of DISPOSITION, had won the affection OF q
1sroe number Of friends who now lament ms
sudden and early death. To his aagonlzed pa
rents we have no consolation to offer save that
which is found in the religion OF the blble, 1or
God alone can assuage such severe ana D1tCer
anguish. ,xr

I am told that 80, 900 troops are coming Tor

a source not entitled to the highest credit. 4

to be sent down from Annapolis, and transport

siege guns are at this place, to be sent to the

The National Inteligencer says:-"lt re-
mains to be seen whether the statement that
Gen. Mcclellan ''disobeyed peremptory or

this point. His friends can only hope that
other charges and insinuations, IN the presence
of which he has maintained a dignlhed silence
may be capable of an equally satisfactory re1u-
tation when all the facts come to be known

gives some additional particulars relative to
the above as follows:
1.-The brigade of Dumont's division, consist
ing of the lO4th Illinois, CO.. Moore, \com~
mauding the brigade;) the l0Sth Ohio, Col.
Limberg; Wickins battery, and small de-
tachment of the I'd Indiana cavalry, were sur
prised at daylight this morning at louisville
by Morgan commanding three regiments OF
cavalry ard two Of infantry.
'After fighting an hour and quarter, our
forces surrendered, and the enemy entered
our camp, capturing nearly all the brigade
trains and teams, and burning all they could
not carry away Two guns of Wicklin's bat
terry were also captured
'Our loss between fifty and sixty killed and
wounded, who were left on the field. The reb-
ell loss is not reported
sLieut. Col. Stewart, of the Second Indiana
cavalry, and COL Moore were among the cap
tives. Major Hill Of the Second Indiana cav
airy, is wounded, but not dangerously. He
SAYS that half of our infantry fought we'll, but
the other half soon broke. Col. Harlin's and
Col. Miller brigades were sent in pursuit, but
the enemy had forded the Cumberland river
and were out of reach. A few shell Sent after
them caused a rapid retreat. Major Hill de-
denies that the camp was surprised; II so, the
affair was more disgraceful as Hartsvie was
a strong position.
On Thursday lieutenant colonel Of Davis
division was captured while skirmlshlng.
Two regimental quartermasters were also
captured while foraging.
Thirteen wagons with mules, on foraging
expedition, were captured on Saturday.
4 deserter from Murfresboro' reports Cheat

what We say. Il this bill comes TO law,
tho volunteers will lay down their arms,
and see whether the power Of the Conven-

love liberty and hate syranny, and will re-

THAT GuN.--Having been too busy on
Saturday to obtain scientific description
OF the new gun shown to US by Mr.. Ans
den, we can only say, for the present,
that the barrel il mounted on an iron frame,
similar to the frame Of steam engine
A crank works slide la the rear of the
barrel. This slide or bed is grooved, 50
as to I'll and receive cylinder, about four
inches long, charged and capped. A box,
like the hopper Of mill, is or may be
filed with loaded cylinders, which, when
the crank is turned, drop down singly into
the grooved slide, and each one is carried
forward and fitted tightly to the barrel,
when spring touches tbs trigger and off
she goes, and the cylinder drops down
likea cern-eob out Of shelter The
range Of the gun may be takeu by sighting
through the barrel. The whole concern
looks like big coffee mill, or some pat
ent grinding machine, and weighs about
Is pounds II is said it will carry ball
mile.
