LIE PREsIDENT on REcoNsFRucrIoN.


One risks nothing, think, in saying
that, by some form or another of indirec
ton, the Postmaster-General will be
speedily trying to withdraw from his po-
sition that the Union must be restored
with Slavery untouched. If the late cleo
tions particularly in the Border States,
have not been sufficient to show him
which way the tide is setting, (the main
point with politicians of his school). the
Presidents forthcoming message will be
very likely to cemplele the work. He
recently published an attack on radical
men, which the President had
never read and of the position of which
he knew nothing. and assumed to call it
a defense of the Presidents policy
When the Presinent says for himselfwhat
policy is, if he does not recognize the ne
cessity for a revised edition of his speech,
or Withdrawal of his unauthorized as

ward and attempted to take pos sslon on
the creek-itis called Citico. He became
engaged in a sharp skiImish, the enemy
persistently holding their own. Seeing
this. Gen. Granger sent Gen. Samuel Be
atty. hitherto in reserve, by a flank
movement TO the right of his position
He came upon the enemy's left flank very
unexpectedly. and, after few minutes
fighting on their flank, with a v'gorOu-
attack by Gen Howard in front. the enc
my fell back. and we found ourselves in
entire possession of their first line of rifle
/ pits, and the important portion of Bald
Knob. The positions taken were in
trenched, and the centre found itselfnext
morning in a strong, defensive position,
awaiting operations on the tanks. Du-
! ring the night, Capt. Bridges battery Of
artillery was moved from Fort Wood TO
the summit of Bald Knob, and this posi-
ton it retained during the remainder of
the operations.
THE SECOND DAYS OPERATIONS.
During the night of Monday, General
Sherman succeeded in reaching his posi-
ton on the north side of the river oppo-
site the mouth of Chickamauga Creek.
preparatory to crossing at daylight in the
morning. Col Stanley. 18th Ohio, had
the boats in order for crossing, the steam
er Dunbar being moved during the night
to the same point At daylight Sherman
began crossing his three divisions under
Ewing NJ. L. and ]. C. Smith, and that
of Gen. Davis This latter division. hold
ing itself in readiness to act as a reserve
TO the 18th corps, finished crossing at enc
A. NJ, and had no sooner done so. and
taken position in the tetes du pont built by
Sherman, than the latter moved 10 the at
tack of the enemy's supposed position on
the north end of Mission Ridge. This
movement was made slowly and without
opposition The hill was taken possession
of by three o'clock in the afternoon. As
the enemy contented himself with firing
a few shells at US from Tunnel Hill. but
made no serious opposition To the occu-
patton of the position, Sherman intfench
ed his position and prepared for an attack
at on early hour the ensuing morning =
The enemy. on observing this heavy force
on his right flank, went vigorously to-
work strengthening his position
ON THE CENTER.
The center was held during Tuesday by
Generals Granger, Palmer and Howard
Gen. Granger remained quiet. only occa
sionally opening from Bridges Battery
on the rebel center Gen. Palmer re
manned quiet in an imposing and threat
ening attitude, facing toward the valley
between Lockport and Mission Ridge
One of his brigades was also sent to Hook
er. Gen Howard's corps (llth) was en-
ployed during the day in opening COM
munications and forming junction with
Sherman at the mouth of Chickamsuga.
This was effected without serious oppo-
sition by noon. but the line held by Gen.
Howard was allowed to be very extended
and weak. as if Grant courted an attack |
upon that part of it. He would very
willingly have had his centre broken at
that point, but the rebels who had full
need of everything saw that such an at
tempt would not pay"

Has 1t come to this in our land once free,
In eur boasted land of sweet liberty,
That men'f lips must be sealed and truth kept
back
AM assassins rsowl on the PATRIOTS traci2
Must all wrong be borne and redress denied,
And justice crushed aud the law cast aside,-
Aad must daggers g!eam through each path men
seek
Lest the feitered tongues Of the injured speak +?
has tmo backward turned to the sad, dark day
When Jacobin Clubs over France hold sway,
And Nation was wrecked mid passions shoals
mat fanatic knsves might control mems souls ?
Alas how The hearts Of true freemen reeoii
At the sight Of such deeds on Amsrica's soil
How souls mW cry out, thro lips long AFRAID,
For the dawn Of peaee on our land dismayed-
How prayers will ascend to the listening God
To withdraw once more His Christening rod,
To check the tyrants whose abuse Of power
Has brought the ruin Of this dismal hour,
The Union to bless and its friend to be
And make its children more truly free.
These things must come soon, for tho old ship
tossed
On sea of blood will ere long be lost,
Or fl oataway without pilot or guide
And drift to dispar on lie crimson tide.
All, beware, beware ye vain chiefs that shield
The bandit hngus with tho powers ye WELD
And your senses dull in this less on school
