Hufus Choate on AboIitionism

In 1855, Rufus Choato the distinguished
Massachusetts, lawyer, speaking of Abolition
ism, said
"The basis of the organization is recipro-
cal sectional hate. To torn and heighten
this, to show that it is moral aud necessary
and brave, the whole energy Of party tactics
is to be put in request. fthc ingenuity OF
he'll were tasked for a device to ALLEVIATE and
rend asunder our immature and artificial
nationality, itwould devise nothing so effect
ual."
This, wien uttered, was tho language Of
prophesy, II has now become dread, living
reality. That reciprocal sectional hate is
now burning and maddeniug the hearts ofthou,

uuder one Government, while doing their ut
most to render reconciliation and union i'm.

count OF the fight says, Gen. Geary's bn'
gade of Augcr'S division had .he advance
and maintained it admirably. Geary's
brigade consisted of the oh, 7th and 10Th
Ohio, 2Sth Pennsylvania, and knapp's
battery.
No sooner had these troops taken their
places, than the rebels opened muskotry
fire upon them, from two sides and in
front, aided by the batteries before men
toned. The battery on the mountain al
so kept up a most destructive fire, but
our troops never faltered. The fight be-
came general at II p. NJ, and contin-
ued until darkness ended the carnage.
] have witnessed many battles during
this war, but none where the tenacious
obstinacy Of the American character was
SO fully display, d. Our troops fought like
veterans. No sooner did volley OF
masketry, ora discharge OF artillery NOV
down the ranks of regimen than the
gaps were Gle Sed up and a new front pre-
sented, Regiment We'd with regiment,
and brigade in deeds of valor, and few
instances indeed were they, where even
individuals laltered, The 9th and l2tll
regulars, led by Capt. Pitcher, did ex-
ceIlcnt service; Capt, T. was wounded
in the knee by musket shot, but kept
the field until the end.
When the firing of masketry ceased at
dark the artillery on the mountain kept
up a random firing till near midnight.
Atdark our troops withdrew to small
copSe of woods where they were joined
soon after by the corps of Mcdowell and
Sigsl who formed on their rear,
