SECRETARY s p. CHASE

! Secretary Chase, in speech at Cincinnati
on Monday evening Oct. 18th, in referring tc
the cause aud nature of our great contest with
treason and rebellion, said
"We are engaged IN great struggle brought
upon Us ley no fault of the people of the UNI
ted States; and when say sby no fau 1t of the
people of the United States > mean precise Iy
what | say. The laboring masses, the me
cnanics of the North have hau no part I'm
bringing on this war. The non shareholders
of the South have had no part in bringing on
this strife. 1t IS a strife brought on by con-
splracy of the few to rule the many and il is
simply because they We're not willing to trust
the people with their cause that they flew TO
arms for the purpose of establishing domjn-
ION where they could ruIe blacks and whites
separately from the Federal Government
That Is oil there is OF the Rebellion. Now,
this conspiracy is not recent affair." Wher
ever you lind an arIstocracy in any country,
and that aristocracy finds itself opposed by the
people, II goes TO var with the people The
Inference between our aristocracy and the ar
lstOcracias that have warred upon the peoDIe
III other countries is, that car aristocracy
happened to be established in certain portions
Oh the country. They occupied certain States;
ana therefore II was that, when the time came
for the aristocrscy to rebel against the de-
mocracy, they succeeded first in carrying out
OF Inc Union the most aristocraiic of a III the
States-namely, South Carolina and then
South Carolina was followed by the other aris-
tOcratic States in succession until we he came
involved in this terrible war. Now, when an
aristocracy thus wars on the democracy espe-
cialIy II that aristocracy be a local aristocra-
cy, like ours, there is nothing for il but 10
meet the challenge which they throw down or
submit to dismemberment. This is the chaI- |
lenge presented TO us and you. The question
in the West was, shall the aristoeracy rule the |
Mississippi The question in the East was, |
shall the aristocracy have the whole sea-coast |
down 10 the Gulf? and the whole country |
pronounced unanimously This shall not be- |
And when they went TO warfo establish sepa- |
rate aristocratc government, like the mon |
archial institutions of the Old World then |
We went to war too. Now, then, the simple |
question before~us is, is this country worth a |

of American institutions worth

The War Department has at length made a
sensible modification of the Pres deut's Proc
iamation suspending the habeas corpus act,
ana hereafter the civil courts will be allowed
10 take cogniZance as heretofore of all cases
for the discharge of fminors improperly emil
ed' and illegally detained by the military au-
thorltles. This announcement is made by the
adJutant General in a dispatch to Mr.. Simon
Stern, lawyer of New York, in relation to
the case OF minor in which he was interest
ed. This decision will afford sensible re-
lie, to the community and legal profession,
ana relieves from the Presidents Proclama-
non feature that has rendered it difficult, if
not Impossible to obtain redress for those who
cannot legally be detained in the army.

TO the present Administration of the Govern
ment, make use of the tears, the Orphanage
and the widowed following in the train of war;
as arguments to advance their sensIess peace
measures. They unblushingly overlook the
fact, which the world knows, that the rebels
fired the first gun in the war, and have, as yet,
offered no indications or returning to loyalty.
They forget to name the fact that the great
pro Slavery Democratic party in the nation
inaugurated the war, without any adequate
cause, and that pro-Slavery Democratic bay
onets have put to death thousands of our
brave sons. Let tn is be borne in mind, and
let no one be deceived by these self styled
.'peacemakers, these rebels in disguise.

GETTYSBURG WOUNDED AT PHILApELPH1A,
Yesterday, says Saturdays Philadelphia
Press, very interesting scene took place at
the Soldiers Reading Room. Since the re-
opening of the room, the ladies' in charge
have been treating the inmates of the various
hospitals, who were able to spend few hours
with them, to ice cream, and cake, and
dinner, where it was desired. Within a week
seventeen hundred wounded soldiers have
partaken of their hospitality. Yesterday a.
bout two hundred and fifty were gathered into
their rooms, the lame and blind, and manned
1t was sorrowtul sights to see so many stall
wart men crippled for life. One could not
but remark how large proportion went upon
crutches. AT one time twenty four soldiers
sat around the dining-table, each with only
one leg; and all these were our Gettysburg
boys-these were the brave shield that stood
between the rebel invaders and our tair CITY.
About one O'Clock Rev. DIR. Newton addressed
them for ten minutes or so. He spoke good
stirring words of thanks and praise to the men
who had saved us by shedding their blood
and then all Joined in singing the doxology;
and then be lifted up his hands blessing wise
and said; ''God bless you, soldiers of Gettys-
burg !'' saw one rough old six.footer fur
lively draw his sleeve across his eyes; there
heart, and he was blessed. After this the
ice cream and cake were served. The ladies',
with their dainty caps and aprons, tripping
hither and thither among the blue-c coats, the
faces OF the boys shining cheerily as they
passed the saucer, and the joke made picture
that did ones heart good.

TWILIGHT THOUGHTS.

Sitting in the gathering shadows
Of the twiiight's tender glow,
Well known forms come fitting by mo,
Of the happy long ago;
Shadows that looked dim and vacant,
Into loved forms seem TO glide
Old age. manhood. blithesome childhood,
Now again are by my side.
1hro' the time past family ringing,
Steals mucic sweet and clear;
Startling mp the oIden ech oes,
With their notes or merry cheer.
One By one the links of memory
IDENTIFY glide to place again,
Till IN harmony completed,
Forms once more the golden chain.
Listen to the song that's swelling,
Family nrst- then clear and sweet;
Tells of sorrows past forever
Sings Of happiness complete;
Sor shall cease the joyous measure,
Till Eith the bright throng above,
Loud the antham is repeated
On thgt land where all is love.

Those kind gentlemen who have attempted
the ungratetul task of showing why Mr. JUS

false returns, and fearful bribery, and intimi-

A REGENT spirited hunt in Ashtabula Coun-
ty. Ohio, in which eighteen men weie engaged
on each side, resulted in the staying of fifteen
hundred friskey little fellows on one side and
fifteen hundred and one on the other. A
close match and big dav's workout it re-

entitled to be rationed for time on bread

Quired him to remain in command. But, as
we cannot doubt that the language OF the event
which has Just occurred will make an impress
sion which tie voice Of the country has failed
to make, and that now, when, is we solemnly
fear, it is too late either to expel the enemy
from the advantageous position he holds, or
60 save ourselves from train OF widespread
ing disasters, a change in the command OF the
army will be made we refrain from any fur
ther remark on this point La the judgment
of some, it might be good policy to endeayor
to beIittIe the Importance OF this defeat. we
do not recognize the propmety OF misleading
the public where so uuch is at stake. =,
We are frank to confess that we are filled
with very grave apprehensions as to the con
sequences thar may flow from this reverse, Il
the army under Bragg could not hold Lockout
Mountain and Mission Ridge, We are forced to
ask ourselves what position IS there between
them and Atlanta or the ocean, they can
hold? What position is Longstrcet lett IN,
and how can he unite himself again with the
army of Bragg, unless by an immense circuit
through Virginia? But it IS likely the enemy
may not feel safe in advancing at this time,
and that before they are disposed to venture,
adequate preparation may have been made to
meet them and hurl them back. Let us at
at least hope so, and by every means at com
mand endeavor to have 1t SO.

4be Army Of the Potomac up to this morning
are now here, but most Of them have been
anticipated, notwithstanding the positive or
der from General Meade to send off nothing
until the operations were completed.
o. Monday General Meade was in line Of
hattie east Of Mine River or Run, with the
Confederate army in position on the opposite
bank strongly posted and intrenched. Recon
ao;ssances which were made Oh Sunday night
disclosed the fact that Mine Run was from
three TO ten feet deep.
This stream has steep, craggy sides and IS
difficult Of approach, which facts give the Con
Tolerate army great advantages as a defensive
line and cultural barrier. It was found impos-
sbe to cross it with artillery and cavalry IN the
face Of an energetic enemy on the other side.
Appearances indicate that Lee had been
considerably reinforced, and rumors gained
ground that part Of Longstreet's Corps had
joined him.
Delays, occa~ioned by the broken character
Of The ground in getting General Neade's vari-
Gus columns into position, enabled the Con
fg3orates to strengthen their naturally strong
position they occupied TO such an extent that
