Friends of the Union, let not moment
be lost, Work day and night Rcmenl-
ber that the present is no mere partizan
contest. 1t is not whether this party or
that party shall succeed; but it is strug-
gle for the life Of the nation. Every good
citizen, Of whatever party, is bound by
honor and loyalty TO the government and
flag of the Republic, to put his shoulder
to the wheel, and help to save this mighty
nation from destruction. Work, Therefore,
work. On the one hand We have the
Union cause and its dearest interests re-
presented by patriot and statesman,
NATHANIEL i. SMrnERs, and on the
other hand treason has put forth Charles
Brown, rs its representative. Shall the
traitor party succeed, or shall the glorious
American Union live despite the armed
treason that surrounds it Let your an

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.

When the result of last November's
election was announced, it disclosed the
fact that a sad mistake had been made ly
the loyal men OF Delaware, in permitting
the Copperhead nominee for Congress to
succeed in being elected Although the
friends of law and government had work
ed faithfully and well, sweeping out the
entire corrupt State administration, they
failed by the merost apathy imaginable
to secure their Representative in Con
gress.
Notwithstanding everybody acknow-
lodged that great victory had been
achieved by the Union party at the polls,
yet it could not be disguised that we all felt
that the victory was not complete because
of the defeat of Mr.. Fisher, and many
were the regrets Of those friends of the
national government who failed to do
their whole duty by negecting to vote fol
him on that occasion, and thereby suffer-
ed Copperhcad to be elected. But the
great and all-wise God, who watches ovei
the dostinies of nations and whose merci
ful hand is visible in all the affairs of oul
Republic in its hours Of gloom and o.
sunshine, saw proper to remove Mr.
Temple from his earthly position of doubt
ful honor to the silent grave. BY this
providential interposition the citizens o
this commonwealth have been afforded al
opportunity to retrieve their lost politica
integrity and honor as loyal people who
are wont to respect the divine commanl
to "submit to the powers that be, know
ing that they are ordained of God. TIL,

buckle on our armor and enter the liell
in defence of liberty, the sacred heritag
so inestimable to frecmen. The effort
sanctied by christian obligation, and en-
couraged by Heavens choicest blessing
must be successful.
Let us therefore, be up, and doing, an
show to the world that we are not asham

REVELATIONS OF A REBEL MAIL
BAG

Among the captures by our troops at
Cumberland Gap was large mail bag, the
contents of which have afforded both amus+.
ment and instruction to those who have cX-
amined them. Among other things, the
letters confirm beyond all question the fact
that the Georgia troops are us dissatisfied MS
my in the Confederate service. Out of the
large number of Georgia letters in the mail
but two displayed any confidence whatever
in the rebel cause. One gentleman wrote
home for his wife not to sell his two pigs for
Confederate money, ms it was entirely worth
less. Another says: "lf this war amt closed
soon, there will be no men left. We can't
light world full Of men we can't stand
it much longer-Our men are all deserting. -
Another is more explicit: al have never
seen men so out of heart. You had better
get your house in order for by Christmas we
shall be back in the Union. II peace don't
come soon, we will all desert" This is the
spirit displayed in all or nearly all these
letters-a spirit of utter despair for the rebel
cause, and willingness to take the Union
on any terms, so it brings peace.

SLAYER IN OIKCuLNTIoN.

The jolly tars attached TO the Russian
fleet are cruising about the city, and
spending their money with the grand i'm
providence Of the sea-faring man the world
over. The apple stands and fruit stores
are particularly patronized by them.
When the Chinese first came TO New
York, they invested all their money in
omnibus rides up and down Broadway
but the Russian sailors seem to think
their funds most judiciously laid out in
peaches and apples. The sidcwalI, yend
ers oftbese articles are doing fine bus.
ness with our strange visitors; aud the
pecuniary transactions involved are usual
ly carried on in the centre of Il large crowd
of curious spectators. 1t is difficult to
say whether the Russians or the queer
looking silver which they pay out are re-
garded with the greater astonishment and
interest In the absence of any definite
and known valuation of the Russian silver
coins, the apple dealers estimate them by
their size, compared with the dime and
quarter Of our own remote past, and give
the Russians change accordingly, and the
latter take what is offered them and pocket
it trushngly, The postage currency
stagggfs them little but they courteously
acccB it out of regard for the country
and its institutions.
