- REV. L. II. CHAPLIN, of New York. af


- REV Z. Fl. CHAPLIN, of New York, after
an absence of thirteen months in Europe, has
returned, and preached to an immense audi
ence in his church on Sunday last. Among
other things he said:
He came here from quiet lands-lands that
in former times had received the deep prints
of the hoofs of war-lands that had gathered
deep in their bosom the memories and bones
of the dead-whose fields, once red with
carnage, now blossomed with flowers. What
struck him first here was the feverishness of
the people. He knew it was a fever upon a
strong man-it was the fever of a youth that
he verify believed would struggle through it,
But it was the fever of restlessness, and it
was that which struck US more than ANYTHING
else needing in our hearts this faith, that
Gods truth endureth to all generations
And this fact had been seen, that there
was truth in this great and terrible strug-
gle, and that truth was to be maintained
He was sorry to see party stepped in malig-
nifty. lie was sorry to see on the one hand
distractions that would break the framework
of the Constitution and the laws by which we
alone can be bound in national unity and ma
tlonal life; and he was sorry to see those
with sheepskin meekness cry peace, peace,
words that had rung through generations in
the ears of the upholders of every wrong,
and would ring until the banner of right
should be exalted: II came not to send peace,
but sword" The politicians had not seen
the truth. He thanked GoD for the Ameri-
can people They had been true to it all,
carrying the unity of the nation into the very
front Of battle. Our people went on. Our
national sensitiveness had been rubbed off,
We had gone steadily to work, caring little
what other lands said Of US.
HANS c. HEGs BRIGADE THE FIRST ACROSS
The war correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, in describing the crossing of the Ten
nessee by Gen. Rosecrans', says:
1t would be improper to designate the
forces now upon the other side, but the first
troops that landed opposite Stevenson were
those belonging to Col. Fl. c. Heg's brigade,
of JEFF. G. Davis division. A gallant sight
was presented when these hardy sons of Hi
nois and Wisconsin embarked in forty-eight
boats and with colors flying and music SCUM
ding, advanced in line of battle, the boats
rowed by strong and willing hands across the
placid bosom of the Tennessee. They fully,,ex-
pected fight upon the other side, but the
enemy's pickets retired as our boys came on,
not disputing the landing by firing a single
shot. Col. Heg's banners were perhaps the
first that were planted upon the thither side
of the river, he having effected the crossing
before o'clock A. n.
~ An Iowa paper says that at recent
copperhead meeting at Oskaloosa, in that
State, two young ladies, appropriately adorned
with butternut breastpins, occupied the front
seat. The next day the young ''ladies" were
in Jail for shoplifting, the stolen goods having
been found in their possession

REFUGEES FROM ALABAHA.-A Cairo des-
patch says: A number Of refugees from
Northern Alabama some ten families in all,
a gloomy account of affairs in that State for
the Confederate cause. All who can do so
are misunderstanding land, home, everything
to escape CONSUMPTION, and gain position
where they can secure something to eat, and
an immunity from prosecutions and tyranny
of Jeff Davis and his satellites.
The refugees in question are part to go to
St. Louis, and others to different parts Of IL

They have for day or so been awaiting cars
for transportation.

President Chicago Sanitary Comm'n

A GRAVE STOLEN BY SoLDIERs.-A letter
writer at Natchez, Miss, in describing the
marauding character of some of our soldiers,
and which the officers in command find 1t
hard to repress, mentions among other pre-
datory exp loits that it was fact that party
of the 9Th Kansas regiment once stole a
grave The thing was done in this way
Some members of the I'd Wisconsin had to
bury comrade, and Ding a grave for the SOL
emn purpose. A portion of the 9TH Kansas,
having the same melancholy duty to perform
for one of their comrades, watched chance
and while the detail of the Wisconsin regi-
ment had gone for the Wisconsin corpse,
they took possession of the grave and buried
their own inanimate jayhawker therein. This
is the qravest offense, in its way, upon record

a correspondent os the Times, who went on board
the Alabama at Port Royal, (Jamaica) on her arrival
there after sinking the Federal cruiser Hatteras says
The Alabama fred all shells Except from 32 with
percussion fuzss for the red and conclusion uZas for
the smooth-bore proectie, bat many OF them passed
through both sides of the Hatteras without bursting,
in consequence OF the close quarters at which the

of an Englsbmen who had served his time in the Royal
Navy, and passed in gunnery board the Excellent,

the port bow causing splintered aperture and by

guns from the of side, and otherwise sgnihed an To-

Several parts On fire. the engines damaged aud

removing the prisoners to the Alabama, and scarcely
had threequarters Of hour elapsed from the first shot
being fired before the Hatteras sank beneath the waves
amid the cheers of the victorious Sou herners The
men are paid from 95 to G6 month, and the prize
money already accumulated is very great, aieuenants
share being $1,000 and the captains between $500,
900 and 100000. On capturing vessel, every pre-
caution is taken to insure just valuation OF the cargo

L.
RICHMoND, April 18th, 1863.
In the House of Commons the 9th ut, debate in
relation to the Alabama took place The Solicitor General
said that the American Government had all along denied
to Great Britain the rights of neuas allowed by nterna
tona law, of which they themselves had strong
est sserers and that that Government only entitled
TO ask this Government to carry the law would do
it concerned ITSELF administer the the
English laws are always adminstered-no suspicion,
but on evidence. [Lheers.]
Mr. Barring expressed regret at the speech OF the soei-
tor, which must be offensive to the Americans.
Mr. Bright expressed similar views, and declared that
the builders of the Oreto building other gunboats,
and Laird all uctiDg formidable

Mr. Laird said tn It rifles deadly vessels with:
out guns He had manests the custom house OF

this amidst loud cheering He therefore astonshed at
