disloyal course Of the Democratic members Of

in this meeting were loyal Democrats; and their
speeches we're bold and severe. in execrstion of
treason at home-treason where they had the

the sentiments of the rank and file from the

WHICH Is PRErERABir!-One Of the objec.
tious urged to . reunion with the South is
that the debt created by the Southern Confed-
eracy would have to be paid by the Union
Government. Well, suppose this to be true;
will not the debt created by the North under
the influence Of Abolitionism have to be paid
also by the Union Government? And if the
North should have to pay its share of the
Southern debt of $500, 600, 600, viii not the
South have to pay its share Of the Northern
debt Of 81, 500, 600, 900? esH 5ii2 a5
20 All! but says some one the Northern debt
was created for legitimate purpose, to put
down rebellion. Was it indeed? We have an
idea it was created to carry into practical effect
Abolition theories, and that it was for an lille
climate object. But suppose the worst posi-
ton against the South and the best for the
North, which is the better course? make peace;
restore the Union and assume the Southern
debt, or keep on in war, destroy the Union
and all hopes of reconstruction, and involve
the North in an additional debt Of . thousand
millions more, added to the enormous debt al
ready incurred! -. .
But. says some one else; won't this be Civ
ing up to rebellion? No more, We answer.
than it will be yielding to Abolitionism- The
war was caused by Abolitionism. This it was
which provoked secession, and caused it to
assume the aspect of revolution. The people
might, with much propriety, repudiate the
Abolition debt incurred by the North, only
that they have made themselves responsible by
their acquiescence in the course Of the admin
istration which is but the tool Of Abolitionism,
and by which the debt has been incurred.
With much more propriety, if by so doing,
peace can be restored and the Union preser-
we'd, might the Southern debt be assumed by
the National Government of reconstructed
Union, than to 60 on prosecuting an abolition
war, and taxing the people Of the North to the
verge Of poverty to pay the war expenditures,
and the interest forever on the war debt

Ihave once and again advised the people about

Expense. of the OonFedoracy.


We talk about the expenses of the
Federal Government, but they are a trine
compared with those of the Richmond
concern. The Chicago Journal remarks
that the latest accounts from Richmond
show that il takes six of the dollars which
the rebel Treasury have issued to pur-
chase one gold dollar. In other words,
the dollar of Mr.. Memminger is worth
to- day, in Rebellion, only fraction more
than sixteen cents.
If their monthly expenditure is to be
computed on this scale; that is, if they
need actually to expend fifty millions of
gold per month, in order to keep their arr
mics in lighting condition; then it will
take six times that amount in paper
money to cover their expenses. That
would be the nice round sum of three
hundred millions per month.
Now, Tennesseans, are you particu-
larly anxious to take stock in such a
bankrupt concern? Remember, on the
other hand, that the United States are
not even spending near the annual
income of the nation in prosecuting the
war; while the rebels are exhausting
their accumulated capital

BARBARIrY OF TEE REBELS.

barbarity TO our wounded. In more than
twenty instances they bayoneted. dubbed

their hands. / saw two or three men
dead upon the field, who had been shot
in the ranks and atierward ran through
the breast or abdomen with a bayonei.

leaning against a tree. Several of our
officers and men were witnesses to these
inhuman acts. They saw their comrades
butchered, but dare not demonstrate lest
they themselves should share the same

els ran their bayonets through six Of our
wounded, after an unsuccessful charge on
one of our batteries.
THE METHoD1sTs IN THE FIGHT.
The Gath Iowa is called a Methodist
regiment The Colonel and several of
the Captains are Methodist preachers.
and majority of the soldiers are Nom
bers Of the Methodist Church. They
did some of the best fighting of the day,
yesterday. They went into battle full
of enthusiasm, and not one of them
flinched during the engagement. Their
Major was wounded late in the day. He
walked from the field, and, on his way
to the hospital, captured a stalwart Con-
federate, and compelled him to carry
him on his back to the Provost Marshars
headquarters, 1t was laughable sight
to see Major Wright riding his captive
into camp. The casualty list of the
Methodists is very large, and shows
that they stood up to their work like
true soldiers. On returning from the
battlefield ia the evening, they held a
religious meeting at which the exercises
were very impressive. AS l write they

these measures have, in the least, changed
the object Of the war. II is still, pre-
cisely what it was in April, 1SGl-THE
PREsEBvATIoN OF THE FEDERAL UNION.
The multiplication of the means used to
preserve the Union has not, and cannot
alter, in any senoe, the grand purpose of
the war. II is clearly and emphatically
the same. II is still war for nation
atty and free government; and neither
the tongue nor perf of SANDER and dis
loyalty can make 1t otherwise.
