Old Abe's Last.

\ friend has related to US the following
excellent joke, and vouches for its truth
fulness: A few weeks since Colonel was
dismissed from the service by order of the
President, upon charges of disloyalty.-
ly misrepresented by malicious enemies,
The Colonel feeling that he had been gross
secured papers from number of our Cen
erals and other influential men, refuting
the charges and requesting his reinstate-
ment, and repaired to Washington to sub
nit his case to the President. After the
usual ceremony and interview was grant
ed, and the President received his papers,
requesting him to call again in the course
of a few hours, during which time he
would give his attention to the case. The
Colonel called at the appointed time. and
was cordially received by the President
and informed that his papers had been
carefully examined, that the evidence
they contained was satisfactory, and In
Justice had evidently been done in dis
missing him. The Colonel was thereupon
reinstated. The President then put the
following interrogations to the Colonel:
Now, Colonel, have acted upon your
case, and know you TO be one of my
most bitter political opponents. | desire
to ask you if you are convinced in your
own mind that | am honest, and desire to
do Justice to all parties regardless of their
political proclivities, and whether you be-
iieve that l have acted impartially
throughout my administration?
The Colonel replied:-"I am proud to
acknowledge that you have done me JUS
tice, that you are honest, and have al
ways done what you deemed right and
Just in ali such cases"
well, Colonel replied the President,
You are evidently satisfied of my loyalty
and integrity, and you have, perhaps,
been wronged. now propose to pro
mote you to Brigadier- General, provided
you will allow me to thoroughly test your
loyalty beyond what papers you have pro-
duced. If you are loyal man, and a war
democrat you can surely have no object
ion"
The Colonel, as a matter of course felt
highly elated at this unexpected favor,
and earnestly stated that he was prepared
to submit to any requirements calculated
to test his loyalty, and expressed his de-
light in complying with his demand,
since his Excellency had shown such con-
fidence in him, as TO honor him with such
an enviable position.
well, Colonel" replied Old Abe, as
a merry twinkle danced in his eye, Il
promote you to the command OF negro
brigade, and hope you will prove your
self as loyal as you are represented, and
do honor to the high trust to which you
are assigned"
The democracy of the Colonel was vi
olently Jared at this announcement, and
Strengthening himself to his full length,
he replied: ,------
"Mr. President, / thank you for the
temporary pleasure you have conferred
upon me in building up an air castle OF
such extraordinary dimensions, and thus
sweepingit down with one stroke. While
] admire the joke, lmost respectfully beg
leave to decline serving in any such
damned capacity"

What Became of $500 secesh Ban

From the Nashville Union, October g.
When the rebellion walked the streets
OF Nashville in silken robes and silver
slippers, there was company which pa
raded under the bloody sobriquet of The
Rock City Guards, whose standard was
a. large satin banner, crimson on one side
and orange on the other, having on the
first guided eagle with out-spread wings,
bearing in his beak scroll inscribed
Rock City Guards, and on the orange
side picture OF the State Capitol, lifting
10 the clouds its classic Lantern of De
mosthenes." The banner was heavily
frlnged with gold, th9 cost of the whole
being $500.
Beneath the shadow of this banner the
invincible, indomitable, tire-eating, pug
nacious, unquenchable, whip-fYe-to-one,
and die-in- the e-last-ditch-able, pIo-slavery,
chivalrv ma rched with the lofty tread of
archangels, bearing comet flag along the
starry dust OF the Milky Way. Majestic
allv they planted their boot-heels, with
toes duly turned outward, TO the inspir-
ing cadences of martial music, cooking
their Napoleonic chins at an angle of for
ty-fiye degrees, as if they would gaze the
very SUITS Oub Vi CAAr WIS
banner of the Rock City Guards" sub
sequently fellinto the hands of the Van
dals," aad on yesterday some patriotic
colored men carried it to the music of
Yankee Doodle through the streets at the
head of long procession of American
citizens of foreign descent" who had vol
unteered to complete the Northwestern
Railroad. The very cheapest of these
eolored men would have brought over
5000 on the block three years ago. The
wives and daughters of many of them
have often brought more at sheriff $
sale or slave pen. And never did steps
more elastic; or faces more determined, or
more stalwart, muscular limbs follow the
superb satin, gold-fringed banner, costing
5000. These volunteers are engaged IN
work of the highest importance to the
army of the Cumberland, as well as to
the future commercial prosperity of the
city of Nashville, and we are glad to see
that they are coming forward so rapidly.
No good citizen will throw a straw in their
pathway, or grumble when they parade
under the satin banner which cost 5000.

in its clear sentences.
LOWELL, Mass, Sept. 5, 1868.
To James C. Conkling: =
Your despatch inviting me to the Spring
field Mass Convention has been received,
Just as had returned from a journey. /
should be glad to meet my brtheren of
the Northwest upon the momentous ques-
ton of the present and the future.
The rebellious state exist only by the
surprise and weakness of the present
Government.
Compromises are impossible, save be-
tween equals in right. Reorganization
or reconstruction is alone useful when vic
ious parts are to be left out. Amnesties
are for individuals, not for organized COM
munities therefore, prosecute the war,
bring every part of the country into sub
mission to the laws of the United States,
then there will be no place for rebellion,
no parties for compromise, no occasion for
reconstruction, and clemency may be
shown and amnesties offered 10 individ-
ual citizens who desire them. Is there
any other way to restore the Union

Gen Roseorans' Congratulstory
Order

The following congratulatory order Of
Gen. Rosecrans is terse and true history
of the campaign of Chattanooga and the
battle of Chickamauga. The people viii
read it with great satisfaction:
HELDo' Rs DLP'T OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Chattanooga, October 2, 1863.
ORDERS NO. 8.
4~uv of the Csen5erLand- You have made
a grand and successful campaign you
haze driven the rebels from Middle Ten
nessee. You have crossed great noun
tain range, placed yourselves on the bank
o. broad river, crossed it in the face OF
powerful, opposing army, and crossed
two other great mountain ran
ges ct the only practicable passes, some
forty miles between the extremes. You
concentrated in the face of superior num-
bers, fought the combined armies OF
Bragg, which YOU drove from Shelbyville
20 Tullahoma, of Johnston's army from
Mississippi, and the tried veterans of
Longstreet's corps, and for two days held
them at bay, giving them blow for blow.
with heavy interest When the day clos
ed, you held the field, from which you
withdrew, in the face of overpowering
numbers, to occupy the point for which
you started, Chattanooga.
You have accomplished the great work
Of the campaign; you hold the key Of
East Tennessee, of Northern Georgia, and
o. the enemy's mines OF coal and nltre.
Let those achievements console you for
the regret you experience that arrivals OF
fresh hostile troops forbade your remain
| ing on the field to renew. the battle; for
fer the right of burying your gallant
dead and caring for your brave COM
panions who lay wounded on the field
The losses you have sustained, though
heavy, are slight, considering the odds
against you, and the stakeyou have won.
You hold in your hands the substantial
! f-nits of a victory, and deserve, and will
receive, the honor and plaudits of q CRATE
full nation, which asks nothing of even
those who have been fighting US, but obe
dience to the Constitution and laws es-
tablished for our own common benefit.
\ The General commanding earnestly
begs every officer and soldier of his army
\ to unite with him in thanking Almighty
God for His fayors to US. He presents his
j hearty thanks and congratulations to all
! the officers and soldiers of this command
for their energy, patience and persever-
ance. and the undanted courage displsy-
ed by those who fought with such un-
finching resolution.
Neither the history of this war, nor pro-
badly the annals of any battle, furnished
a loftier example of obstinate bravery and
enduring resistance to superior numbers
when troops having exhausted their
ammunition, resorted to the bayonet,
many times, to hold their positions.
against such odds--as did our left and
centre, comprising troops from all the
corps, on the afternoon of the 10Th of
September. at the battle of Chickamauga.
