PATRICK HENRY.-Hcnry, laying his hand
ON the Bible thus addressed a friend who was
with him. "Here is book worth more than
all others printed, yet it is my misfortune
never to have read it with proper attention
until lately" About the same time he wrote
to his daughter, II have heard it said that
Deists have claimed me. The thought panied
me moro than the appel,ation of Tory; for !
consider religion of infinitely higher impor-
t,nce than politics, and l find much cause
to reproach myself, that have lived SO long
and given no decided public proof OF my
being a Christian" Let Patrick Henry no
more be dcnomnated a Deist.

Tennessee to be Repossesssd.
From the Atlanta Repister

We stated on former occasion that the
very existence of the Confederate States
and army were dependent upon the reoccu
patton of Tennessee by General Bragg
Our enemies know this as well As our own
Commanderin-Chief. There is no risk or
sacrifice, no concentration of strength that
will be spared In the accomplishment of the
reconquest of Tennessee The Army of Vir-
ginia will be thrown upon East Tennessee,
and that Of the Mississippi Valley upon
Rosecrans rear, in the direction of Murfrees-
boro'- The calm that followed the storm at
Chickamaugua is the presage of more terri
BILE events, and the coming shock of con.
tending armies on the soil of Tennessee will
be decisive of the fate Of the Confederation
If any one doubts the necessity which
would impel President Davis to sacrifice
Richmond, Charleston and Mobile, all, tC
reacquire Eastern Tennessee, he need only
ask the Commissary General by what agen
cies and from what source the armies of the
South have been sustained. During the
first year Of the war Eastern Tennessee fur
nlshed the Confederate States with $4,000,
000 pounds of bacon. Last year the Stat'
of Tennessee fed the army. 1t is ascertain
ed hatthe prevalence ofhog cholera throagh
out the South has prevented the production
OF more than the wants of the people require

From the New York World.

IT becomes more apparent every day
what was Ierceptible to so many before
this war, and has been forgotten by so many
during this war, that the Republican is es-
sentially revolutionary party; that its tn
umph must be based upon complete aud
radical change in our system of govern
ment, and that it will leave, in place Of a
union of republics, which it found, con-
solidated community of individuals. Yet
Democrats, blinded by passion, or hungry
for popularity, fail to see that by uniting
with that party, under any pretense or
with any name, they arc abandoning the
principles (if they ever had aDy) OF life
time, aud the policy which ruled so ably
and so successfully guided us to prosperity
and glory.
There is no State in tue Union, not even
South Carolina, which has been 80 tenaci-
GUS of State rights aud dignity as Massa.
chusetts, and yet, il We mistake not, it wa,
her Senator who spoke of the "infernal
heresy Of State rights How utterly dis
organizing this theory is; to what bloodshet
and rancor it must lead in the future; how
this Union will be rent by faction, like
the republics Of antiquity and Of the mid
die ages, may be seen in the grave assertion
that an administration victory over fellow
citizens is moreimportant than victory owe
/ public enemies. If prudence, "the silkeI
string upon which the virtues like jewel
are strung" governs at all the counsels O
the Republican leaders, the eOmmoDsst ex
ertion of it would teach them that be VIII
sows abuse resps hate, and that the sures
way of making a deadly enemy is to pro
claim deadly hostility. The wheel Of for
tune goes round, and we earnestly hop
our Republican friends will not be able
convince their political opponents tha
power sanctifes injustice.

ToDTHE CITIZENS AND THE PRESS OF WHEELING
The undersigned respectfully beg leave
to return their thanks to the citizens of
Wheeling, for their liberal support and as
sistance in obtaining information for the
new Directory of the city of Wheeling also,
to the press of the city for the frequent fa-
vorable notices given during the canvass
The canvass of this city, to obtain the infor-
nation contained in this number of our
work, has been the most vexatious and la
borious ever prosecuted by US. To obtain
information of the character desired by US,
from the ignorant, selfish, or cowardly, even
in ordinary times, is most difficult task.
such persons are suspicious of everything
the most trifling matters are, by their imag
nations, magnified into serious and
alarming evils, and they consequently re-
fuse to communicate information in relation
to themselves, of even the most trivial and
harmless character. Reticency is their only
| hope: on these occasions if on no other, they
seek safety in silence. But in the present
condition of the public mind, these ditiicul
ties are increased thousand fold.
Our canvsssers for the present volume
were pronounced by some, to be "Unitet
States assessors" seeking to fix on the pso
pie onerous taxes; and by others they wer,
declared to be ''enrolling officers who wer,
using their bnst endeavors to obtain th,

Governor SeymOr'S Call.

When, three months ago, the armies o.
General Lee were threatning the capital ol
the great State of hennsylvania, the Dem
ocratic governor of New York FASTENED to
the rescue of our sister commonwealth and
of the Union with proptness and an ener-
gy which should forever silence the fac
tious slanderers Of himself and of the par
ty which raised him to power in the name
of Liberty, the Constitution and the
Union.
Once more the standards of the rebellion
are advanced upon the frontier of the loyal
states. Once more the national honor is
put to shame, and the national capital in
peril. And now again the voice of New
York, BY her Democratic goveonor, is the
first to echo the appeal of the President,
the first to rouse the loyal populations to
arms in defense Of the nations life.
This is no moment in which to think Of
party, ef party gains or party losses. The
nation is in danger; the enemy is on the
Potomac; the weak devices of men who
have preferred the dreams of faction to sim
pie trust in the peoples loyalty and faith
and yalor, have been miserably confounded.
The Governor Of Na,v York, in few direct
and fearless words, sets the startling truth
before us ALL
IF there be any patriotism, any pride. any
firm will to see the nations rights and honor
well maintained, in the hearts of those
Pharisees of loyalty who for months past
have been loudly thanking heaven that they
are not Gas the Copperheads," let them
prove it now
Wes see before US the lamentable fruit OF
kheir efforts to substitute the manacled bat
talions of an imported conscription for the
uHbought ehivalry of American patriotism
--Ifhe cheap defense of a willing peoples
loyal hearts. Let them now redeem, by
sacrifice land service, the almost fatal error
of the past. They boast, with no hatred
breath, of the vast majorities by which
they hope to keep their hold of office and
power. Things dearer than power and Of
fee are now at stake-the peace, the
glory, the very existence of the republic
If now they fail to rally in arms to the de
fense Of these; if now the appeal of the
nation tails of answer; if now the volun-
teers whom the Union calls for fail to rally
to its banners, upon them will rest the dread
of shame thatlmust, unhap-
PLY, be common to US all, and a sorrow that
must afiict long generations yet to come.
