every grade and station, of whatever
name or denomination, to remember that
our Lord has said, "Every Kingdom di-
vided against itself, is brought to desc
lation; and every city or house divided
against itself shall not stand"
And after the fate of Jerusalem,
which was the dwelling place of the ia
vored people of God for many years,
who became divided into sects and
parties, and exercised their passions of
hatred, variance, wrath and strife to
such degree, that our Savior said:
"Oh Jerusalem, thou that stonest the
prophets and killest them that are sent
unto thee; how oft would have gathered
thy children together, and YE WOULD
not"
Shall we not heed the lesson that is
now upon us, and take the Lord at his
word, when He says, eff that nation
against whom I have pronounced TURN
FROM their evil, I will repent Of the
evil that 1 thought to do unto them. y
Jeremiah 49, ~ And when we have
all united into one faith and hope under
the blood-stained banner of truth,
righteousness and love, we will not shun
to declare the whole council of God nor
dissemble from the direct line of righ-
teousness, by making loud pleas for the
reformation and union upon the Bible
and the Bible alone, and at the same
time IGNORE that which is ''the sum of
all crimes"
But, as true patriots, in the one great
Kingdom, we will remember that the
first and great command of the King is
''Thou shalt love the Lord thy G cd with
all thy might, mind and strength" and
the second is like Unit it, sthou shalt
love thy neig ghbor as thyself.'
And in discharge of our duty we will
remember the example of the good

have fallen among thieves and give
them their rights by sending memo
rial up to the Chief Magistrate of the
Nation in their behalf, and we will rally
in solid phalanx to his service, under
the standard of TRUTH AND LIBERTY,
and when all is saved and the last rebel
is reformed or executed, rising genera
tions and posterity will sing songs OF
praise to the soldiers of 76, and at the same
time they will sing anthems Of melody
to the servants of the king Of kings, for
ayerting the horrors that are now upon
US. Yours, &c,

Mr.. Eaitor:-Thiuking that a few
words in reference to the prospect of
the Tuppers Plains Seminary would be
thankfully received by the many read
ers; of your columns; nike pleasure il,
1announeing that d ithstand ing hard
times and the exciting scenes occasioned
by the recent invasions of our country,
Tuppers Plains Seminary may well be
ranked among the Aourishing institu-
tions Of our land. e.asE I'll T
1t is well known that Prof Keyes,
who has formerly conducted the school
with such brilliant success, has left
his favorite and pleasant field of labor
in the Institution, and gone into the
army, where, although it is not quite SO
pleasant, yet he felt that the country
needed his services, and hence, yielded
to the conviction of duty to go. lad .-,e
The school is now in 'JuU blast
about sixty students, under the super
intendence of Mr.. Lyman G. Chase, re-,
Gently student of Hillsdale College,
Michigan. The winter term will, un-
doubtedly, open with an improved pros
pect of success, as ere the present term
had commenced, many supposed as their
former worthy Principal had taken his
leave, that the school would "go dovn,''
and hence, made no arrangements for
attending school. But, since they have
seen that the school is destined to sue
cee1, and that its motto "on,oard and
apoafd," still prevails, they hesitate
not to come in, and so additions are
being made weekly. a
Many thanks are due to the many
friends of this Institution, and, espe-
cially to the citizens of Tuppers Plains,
for their liberal patronage, and vigor-
Gus efforts for its support. Here every
effort is made to qualify young ladies
and gentleman for the important and
useful avocations of life, and here every
exertion Will be put forth to maintain
a constant observance of all the laws of
common, social morality; and may it
still be the ultimate end of the people
Of Meigs to labor for its support!
And now would I appeal to human
Iity everywhere, and earnestly solicit
the patronage of all friends of education,
that this popular Institution may pros
per. even during the war, and while our
brothers are upon the battle field fight
ing to save our once peaceful and happy
country, may it be the grand object of
the students Of Tuppers Plains Seminary
to qualify themselves to rreserce that for
which our noble boys are fighting to
save. i". LAMBDA KAPPA.

BANGOR, Me, Sept. 18th, 1862.
Dear Tslegraph:-We closed our last
letter at Greenland, n. Ii. while ''wait-
ing for the Mail" 1t came in due sea-
son, but our news from the East was
left at Portsmouth, seven miles below
that point, so we concluded to make a
''virtue of necessity" and acait until
morning, as there would be no through
train to Bangor before that time. We
were in quiet little village, mile,
perhaps, from its center, and few rods
from the depot, where three Boston
trains pass daily on to Portsmouth, N.
H., and Portland, Maine-hence the
name of ''Greenland Depot" This
weather was fine; but the silence, for
hours unbroken, was almost oppressive,
when contrasted with the noise and
hustle Of the city.
Alone for hours-we listened to the
wind as it sighed through the pine
woods, until our spirits were saddened
by its mournful music. Depressed with
the news from the border-the disaster
to our arms on the Potomac, and the
"falling back to Washington Of the re-
mainder of our forces-you will not be
surprised if we tell you that we were
fast merging into eft of the blues, ="
imagining that even Dame Nature was
chanting a requiem over our broken and
dying Union. But our spirits, like the
"grand army" had "reserve corps;
and ere long, 'H.ree hundred thousana'
voices drowned the requiem in shout
of victory!
We retired early, and slept as the
weary sleep sometimes too con-
scious Of the real, living, present. We
rose early, feeling refreshed, and at ten
\. NJ. were on our way to this city,
via Portland. We were on board one Of
the longest trains we ever saw upon this
route. After leaving New Hampshire
at the junction of the upper and lower
routes to Boston-cars, filled with SOL
diers were attached to our train, en- route
to Augusta.
Drafting had commenced in few of
the smaller towns, we learned, but
Maine was filling her quota with sturdy,
earnest men, who could not leave home
until compelled to do SO. A few miles
farther east Camp meeting" was in
progress, and our hitherto well filled
train was overfowing with men, women
and children-the .atter out numbering
the former by hundreds, we should
Judge Women pray wEile men go to
war. At noon we arrived at Portland,
where we change cars for the Grand
Trunk Road, having time to dine if We
chose to do so. The depot is fine,
large building, with every accommoda
ton for the travelling public. A good
dinner is always ready as the cars enter
the depot. The coffee is coffee, and the
tea, tea, with no essence Of hay, which
seems to be used much at many Of the
railroad stations! At two p. NJ. we lef

THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hun

With hearts too full for utterance, but with a
silent tear;
We dare not look behind US, but steadily be-

veil aside,
And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and
in pride
And bayonets in the sunlight gleam, and
bands brave music pour
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hun
dred thousand morel
If you look up all our valleys; where the
growing harvests shine,
You may see our sturdy farmer-boys fast
forming into line;
And children at their mothers knees are pull
ling at the weeds,
And learning how to reap and sow: against
their country's needs;
And a farewell group stands weeping at every
cottage door ..
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hun
dred thousand more!
You have called us, and we're coming, by
Richmond's bloody tide, =
To lay us down for freedoms sake, our broth
er's bones beside;
Or from foul treasons savage grasp to wrench
the murderous blade
And in the face of foreign foes its frag-

Six hundred thousand loyal men and true

We are coming, Father Abraham, three hun

THE ROAD TO REALMS OF LOVE.
This world is but the rugged road
Which leads us to the bright abode
Of peace above;
So let us choose that narrow way
Which leads no travellers foot astray
From realms of love-

This world would school each wandering
thought
10 its high state.
Faith wings the soul beyond the sky,
Up to that better world on high,
For which we wait"

Middletown Journal says that in a
speech at Post Town, he declared the
President was disunionist, said the
