A GIorlons IncIdenl.

A letter from gentleman engaged in taking
the votes OF the Missouri soldiers at ChattanOO-
ga, on last election day, gives a description of
the transaction which is both graphic aud graf
flying. The voting was done under the fire of
the enemy's guns. As the boys gathered to-
gether and were engaged in exercising the no.
blest privilege of the American citizen, the reb-
81 shells were exploding about them Who will
say that, under such circumstances. with the adj

The Path TO Heaven.

There is ladder to Heaven, whose base God
has placed in human affections, tender instincts,
symbolic feelings, sacraments of love, through
which the soul rises higher and higher refining
as she goes, till she outgrows the human, and
changes she rises TO the image of the divine.
At the top of this ladder at the threshold of par
adise, blazes dazzling that celestial grade where
the soul knows self no more, having learned
through the long experience of devotion, how
blest it is TO lose herself in that eternal love and
beauty, of which all earthly fairness and grand
eur are but the dim type, the distant shadow
This is the highest step, the sanity elevation,
which but few selected spirits ever attain to
raise the sonl to which the Eternal Father or
ganized every relation of human existence, and
strung every chord of human love, for which
this world is no longer discipline, for which the
souls human education is constantly varied
from which it is now torn by sorrow, now flood
ed by joy, to which all its multiplied powers
tend with upward hands of dumb and ignorant
aspiration.-Mrs. Stolce.

The Shelling of Charleston.

A Charleston letter to the Augusta Chronicle
gives the following inside view of the shelling
of rebellious Sodom:
About twenty five l0O-pound Parrott shells
were fired into the city to-day. Old Gilmore
scattered them promiscuously in the lower part
of the city, and it really seemed from the way
they were pitched about that they were trying
to hit somebody The City Hall building had
a hole punched in one corner and some of the
marble cornice knocked away. One struck the

stormlng OF NIls-lon Ridge.

The storming of the Ridge in the great battle
before Chattanooga, on the 26th, is thus de-
cribed by an officer in report 10 the War De-
partment:
"The storming of the Ridge by our troops was
one of the greatest miracles in military history.
No man who climbs the ascent by any of the
roads that wind along its front can believe that
$4,000 men were moved upon its barren and
crumbling face unless it was his fortune 10 wit
ness the deed. 1t seems as awful as visible
interposition of God. Neither Generals Grant
nor Thomas intended it. Their orders were to
carry the riie.pits along the base of the Ridge,
and cut of their occupants but, when this was
accomplished, the unaccountable spirit of the
troops bore them bodily up the impracticable
sleeps, over the bristlng rife-pits on the crest,
and thirty cannon enfilading every gulley. The
order TO storm appears to have been given ST.
multaneously by Generals Sheridan and Wood,
because the men were not to be held back hope
less as the attempt appeared to military pru-
dence; beside, the Generals caught the inspra-
tion of the men, and were ready themselves to
undertake impossbilities.

A Good Word for MIR. Lincoln.

1t is some amends for the ridcnle which has
been so unsparingly heaped by certain foreign
presses upon Mr.. Loncoln, that the London Spec
spectacle journals in Europe, finds occasion for
the following words about him:
"Mr. Lincoln has been tested as few govern
Ors have ever been tested, and though he may
not always have risen fully to the level of great
emergency, he has seldom failed to display no
BILE impartiality, a great frmness of purpose, and
a sagaeious and somewhat utilitarian, judgment.

never held the reins Of government

Grants Victory.

In speaking of the great success of our
army at Chattanooga, the N. Y. World
justly says:
"Not only has Chickamauga proved to
be barren victory for the rebels, but the
concentration ofall their available forces to
retake Chattanooga and recover Tennessee
is abortive, and their desperate effort has
resulted only in such demonstration Of
their weakness as must dispirit and dis
hearten their people. 1t is evident that the
resources ofthe rebels are rapidly approach
ing exhaustion. The inability of General
JOHNSTON to collect, last summer, anything
like respectable force for the reliefof PEN
BERToN, during the many weeks he was
besieged in Vicksburg, was significant; but
the fact that in all the time that has inter
vened since the battle of Chickamauga the
rebels have been unable, though putting
forth their utmost energies, to collect a suf-
ficient body Of forces to hold the mountain
ridges on which they were so strongly post
ed before Chattanooga, is a conspicuous
display ofweakness that must hasten the
downfall of the rebellion"

Pluck.

The spirit of Captain John Gleeson, late of
Baltimore, who died prisoner-of-w war in Rich
mond, and whose body was transferred to Green
mount Cemetery, lately, with military honors,
is worthy of imitation in these degenerated days.
A rebel surgeon was commissioning his condi-
ton, just before his death, and regretting that
he could not have been exchanged, to die at his
home in Baltimore. Raising up on his feeble
arm, he said in reply, II would die thousand
deaths in these dungeons TO save my Govern

We have before 6s the able opinion Of Judge
Strong, Of the Supreme Court OF Pennsylsania.
a lifelong Democrat, affirming the constitution
altty Of the Conscfiplion act. We give a syn
opss Of its main points,
!. The necessityof vesiing in llie Federal gov
eminent the power to "ruise and support armies" /"
was plain 70 the frnmers Of the Constitution.
Hence Che grant aiil8la. Fhll14
III. The object ofths grant is not answered
| by giving the, Government control, in coBiunc-
tion with the States, over The Militia when in
actual service because It il often necessary that
the Government should have forces exclusively
under its direction, TO WELD at its pleasure. J
d III. No limit is fixed by the Constitution as
TO the amount Of the forces to be raised, nor the
mode Of raising them, nor is any restraint i'm
posed upon the manner Of using them.
~. The circumstances existing in this coun-
try and in Europe tand anterior TO this giant
power prove that It was intended TO confer
authority to raise armies by a compulsory draft
II need be. This does not trench upon the re-
served rights ofihe States, and, iffaifly conduct
ed is the most equal mode Of distributing the
burden. And, according the opinion Of Chief
Justice Marshall the drafted men may be treated
as in the service from the moment Of the draft.
V. The right Of the Government 10 compel
the service of all its citizens 10 preserve its ex-
istence is not an Infringement Of their personal
liberty, because that liberty depends upon up
holding the Government.
vi. Nor do the compulsory features Of tho
Conscription Act, by taking portion Of the ma
terias Of the militia interfere with the rights of
the states over their own militia, any more
than would the filling up Of the Union armies
by volunteer enlistment; for in either case, the
men would be those of which the militia is COM
posed. The States hold their power over their
militia subordinate to the power of Congress to
raise and support armies" out Of the population
Of the country
Jud1e Lowrie will have 10 WELD his seat On
the Pennsylvania bench to the newly elected
Judge Agnew in a couple of weeks. Then the
opinion of Judge Strong will be the opinion Of
a majority Of the Supreme Court Of that State.
