to every intelligent man and woman
in the State, read, study and re.reaC

schools and the academies - make i
a part Of the daily recitations OF tht
scholars, that we may as a people be
again reminded OF the value of ouI
liberties. The very aflluence of on,
political privileges has made us prodi
gal in their use and and forgettul Of
their inestilGable value. Never in the
history Of the States has such mess
age been delivered, and never has
such a crisis occurred. For more than
six centuries have our ancestors been
struggling to secure, and have little
by little wrested from arbitrary power,
that which by three proclamations
must be forever destroyed if we SUBJ

Through his ylens tho raging fever,
Wildand swift did roam; H
And the soldiers brain was swand'ring
mid the scenOs Of home.
CHoRus-Fond mother, dear father
To the soldier come,
For his brain was wildly wand'ring
Mid the scenes of home.
On his ear there fell the Ginning,
Of the old church bell;
Came his mothers tones so holy
That he loved so we'll.
Hears the murmer of tho broo klet,
In the quiet dell,
Scenes of sport in jonous childhood,
Der him cast spell.
CuoTUs-Fond sister, dear brother,

And he feels his mothers kisses
On his aching brow.
"Farowell. mother, I am going,
To my nome ofjoy;
Place my head upon your bosom,
Kiss your darling boy;
Lay my form within the church yard,
Where loved to stray,
Near the old church where in childhood,
First learned to pray.
CHoRUs-Fond mother, dear father,
To the solder came,
For his brain was wildly wand'ring,

"Bidmy Mary cease her weeping,
When foreer I'm gone.
Bid her DER my grave not murmcr,
Sadly and forlorn."
Slow the soldiers eyes were closing,

After some routine business the Conference ad-
journed to this morning.
Both the democratic and republican papers
have of late been publishing figures to show the
probable relative strength Of parties in the next
United States House of Representatives, and both
sides have arrived at equally wrong conclusions.
The negro-worshippers exhibit preponderance Of
strength on their side by coupling with the aboli-
tionists all the conservative republicans and few
war democrats. while their opponents are equally
sangune Of a majority, and to prove their position
they class with the copperheads all the conservative
war democrats, without regard upon which ticket
they were elected. large majority of the next
House will be in favor of vigorous prosecution Of
the war; and in order TO accomplish that end
they will throw aside oil partisan technicalities
and feelings and the ideas and propositions of the
radicals, copperheads and nggerheads will be dealt
with and thrown aside as political deadwood.

The CASE or THE PErERnoPP.-It Is said that
Secretary Seward Is in favor Of giving up the

case Is one Of great delicacy, because the Peter

A MAIN CAUSE OF THE DEFEAT AT CHARLES
ToN.-A principal cause of the defeat Of our
navy in Charleston harbor is that fanaticism
about the negro Of which Mr.. Chase gave 90
remarkable q sample in his recent letter ad-
dressed TO the meeting in Union square to cele-
brate victory which was not achieved, but
might long since have been but for the perni-
cious counsels of the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry. That letter is niger at the beginning,
Niger in the middle and niger at the close.
1t is oil Niger. The white man is completely
ignored.
While Mr.. Seward IL the conservative infiu-
ence in the Cabinet-ths salt that saves IL
from utter putrefaction-Mr. Chase il the radi-
cal and revolutionary influence which has made
shipwreck Of the Union cause in South Carolina
and has prevented success everywhere. Under
the direction and control of this influence, the
whole time and energies Of our generals ever
since they landed ct Port Royal have been de-
voted to the realization of the vain dream of
elevating the negro TO . social and political
equality with the Caucasian race. Every sane
man who knew anything Of the subject knew
that every such attempt must fail; for what
was II but an absurd effort to reverse natures
laws' As well might II be attempted to elevate
an intelligent monkey as an intelligent contra
band TO the level Of the white population Of
this country; as well try 10 make . donkey
equal TO an Arabian horse. Thus. instead Of
knowing on the enemy's works" at Charleston
before the enemy had time 10 make them impreg.
nable, precious days, weeks, months, and years
have been wasted In what Is as impossible a. to
change the skin of the black to white or his
curlsd wool TO straight hair. How could sue
cess attend our arms under such conditions
Negroes themselves do not desire 10 be
placed in the anomalous and ridiculous position
which the Missionaries are demanding for them.
They know that they would be like 80 many
fish out Of water. They would not be in their
element. All they wanted and now want Is to
be let alone. They and their children will
never cease to curse the sboltionists. Look
how tue Florida niger expedition has wretch
cdiy failed. The negroes will not light for
souaIity with whits men. Even In hassscha-

JEFF. DAVIS LAST APpEAL FOR SUPPLIES
The address which we published yesterday
from Jefferson Davis 10 the people of the
Southern States seems to be neither more nor
less than . supreme effort to keep up the rebel
oonfederacy for . little while longer. II ap-
peals TO the >cultivstors Of the soil 10 abandon
ell selfish views in regard to the crsps-to plant
no cotton or tobacco, but TO devote their lands
exclusively to the raising Of food for man and
fodder for cattle. II establishes the truth Of
information derived from other quarters, that
the railroads in the eonfedsracy have been 20
tasked for the two years Of the rebellion in
moving troops and supplies that their efficiency
il now impaired to such an extent that the SOL
diers have had TO b placed on half rations.
And, more important than aught else, IL gives
form and consistency to the revelations made
in the intercepted rebel correspondence, as to
the determination on the part Of the Confede-
rate government TO stake their fortunes on the
issues Of the spring and summer campaign, and
To make the coming battles the most terrible
and decisive Of the war. We do hope that our
military authorities at Washington will take
note Of this, and crafty the rebels in their hu-
name resolve upon decisive battles, taking care.
however, that the results shall be such a. will
tend TO the speedy refrigeration Of the republic.

The rebel cotton loan sustained a very heavy
collapse in England on the I'd inst, in consequence
of the suspension Of J. B. Spence, Of Liverpool.
II was thought that Mr.. Spence was the financial
agent of Jef. Davis, and the loan was consequently
quoted ct from one and q half to two and half
discount. Il was afterwards found that Mr..
Spence was not the agent Of the Confederate
Treasury; but the stock continued to decline not
withdrawing, and was at two and quarter and
two and three-fourths discount on the 4th inst.
The English government had announced to the
