The Speech of Gen. Slckles at Sara
tOga.

The following is the speech made 10y
General Sickles at Saratoga, on Friday
night last, in response to a serenade:
Ladies and GentLemeE: 1t is embarrass-
ing to be the sole recipient of hOnors
which others should share. | am quite
aware that | am mainly indebted for this
grateful compliment TO your just admira-
ton for the brilliant conduct of the Third
Army Corps, at Charlottesville and
Gettysburg. So far, however, as | am
permitted to receive your visit as an ex-
preston of personal regard, | thank you
heartily for it.
A day in Saratoga reminds us of any
thing but war-the sacrifices of the North,
great as they have been, have not aPpa-
rently disturbed our pleasures nor Gimin-
ished our resources. One more campaign
in which the army and navy shall feel
that their valor and devotion are appre-
ciated by the nation-and this sad war
will then end in the re-establishment of
the national government over all the pos
sessions of the United States.
1t is not too much to say that we have
accomplished more than was deemed
possible 10y wariike nations and high mil
itaey authority i'll Europe; and when the
declining energies of the rebellion relin-
auish the sword, now held with feeble
grasp, this country will take its place in
the foremost rank of nations ; we will en-
ter upon a career of grandeur and renown
which no Imagination has foreseen and
no human agency can arrest.
Among those present l am gratified to
recognize the familiar and cherished faces
of old friends-to these 1t will not be with
out interest to know that | shall be IN
command of my corps when the next bat
tie is fought.
1t is reserved to the army of the POto-
mac to make the final and decisive cam
paign against the last and greatest OF the
armies of the rebellion. l have had the
honor to belong to the army of the Poto-
mac during my brief military service (;
with it, and especially with the Third
Army Corps, my destiny Is cast; proud
of my association with so many heroes,
their fortunes will ever be mine-and
nothing can be dearer to me than their
honor and fame and happiness.
When the enemies of the republic lay
down their arms-when Charleston and
Chattanooga and Richmond are garrisOned
by federal troops when the Constitution
and the laws and the flag of the Union
are recognized from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande-as now they are honored
and loved from the Penobscot TO the
Susquehannah, then, and not until then,
will we have an Honorable prace. Mean
while those who are most impatient for
the termination of hostilities should do
all they can in aid for the Government
and for the army-those who are willing
to impair the authority of the govern
ment and seek the southern hand which
spurns them; let them not be unmindful
that they contribute to the worst of ca
lamities-the recognition of hostile and
hateful separation is war
endless war, union is peace.

How Easy 1t was to have Averted
the War.

The following extracts from the speech
es of our Southern brethren, delivered in
Congress before the introduction of the
Crittenden Compromise, in the winter of
the ever memorable day of Secession,
show how easy it was to have "averted
the war;" as Gov. Seymour and his class
declare, by compromise and conciliation:
Dec. 4th, o. R. Singleton, of Mississip-
pi.-"I was not here for the purpose OF
making any compromise or to patch ex-
isting difficulties"
Mr.. Jones of Georgia, ditto on the
same day.
Mr.. Hawkins, of FIorida-"W / am
up, Mr.. Speaker, may as well say in ad
vance, that l am opposed, to all and eve
ry compromise"
Mr.. Pugh, of Alabama-"As my State
of Alabama intends following South Car
olina out of the Union by the 10th ol
January next, pay no attention to any
action taken by this body"
Dec. 5th, Senator Iverson, of Georgia
Sir, tee Southern States that are now
moving in this matter are not doing
it without due consideration We be-
lieve that the only security for the insti-
tutions to which we attach so much i'm
portance is Secession and Southern Con-
federacy. You talk about CONCESSIONS
You talk about repeating the personal
Liberty bills, as concession to the South.
Repeal them all tomorrow and it would
not stop the progress of this revolution.
1t is not your personal liberty bills that
We dread. Nor do we suppose that there
will be any overt acts on the part of Mr..
Lincoln. For one, do not dread overt
acts. l do not propose to wait for them.
We intend to go out"
Dec. u, Wigfall, of Texas-''So far as
the Union is concerned, the cold sweat OF
death is upon it. Your Union is now
dead. There is now in the Gulf States no
excitement. There is fixed, determined
will, that will be free"
Dec. 3l-After the introduction of the
Crittenden Compromise, Benjamin of La,
said: "The day for adjustment has pass
ed. If you would give it now you are too
late"
Mason, of Va, said-"No matter what
compromise the North offers, the South
must find a way to defeat it"
Pryor of Va, telegraped-"We canno t
get the Crittenden Compromise, but we
don't want it,"

WHOLE NO. 2448.

He ought to have taken the steamer En-
ellie which was at our levee, and then
leaving at the late hour he did, he could
have overtsken Quantrill, and with 800
fresh men and horses he could have cap
tured him.
This awful loss of life and property is
universally attributed to the ineompeten-
cy and inability of Sehofield and Ewing.
We were promised security to our lives
and property. Our people have been
murdered and our property destroyed.
VIII the Government protect us or per-
NIT us to protect ourselves?
The telegraph dispatches to the assocla-
ted press have been mutilated, and the
military authorities dare not let the truth
be told.
Our citizens have sent to Lawrence a
long traiE, taking provision and clothing.
S2O,OOO has been subscribed by our peo-
pie for the immediate relief of the suffer
ers who were left without clothing or
food. "
Persons just from Lawrence report that
| the number of dead viii reach one hun
dred and seventy, perhaps two hundred,
as bodies are constantly being found
The excitement throughout the State
is intense. and our citizens unanimous re-
gard,the Lawrence massacre as the legiti-
mate result of the Scho6eld Ewing poll
cy in Missouri and Kansas.
When last heard from Gen. Lane was
at Heckman's Mills, in Missouri. with
his,half-clothed, halfarmed men in pur-
suit. He. attacked Quantrin about ten
miles south of Lawrence, and kept up a
running fight with him to Missouri, kill
ing, up to this time, nineteen of the reb-
Iels.

Power of q Musical Voice.

1t is curious fact in the history of
sounds that the loudeSt noises perish al
most on the spot where they are produced
whereas musical tones will be heard at a
great distance. Thus, if we approach
within q mile or two of town or village
in which fair Is held, ne may hear very
family the elamor of the multitude, but
most distinctly the organs and other mu-
steal instruments which are played for
their amusement. If a Cremonia violin,
a real Amati, be played by the side of 4
modern fiddle, the latter will sound
much the louder of the two; but the
sweet, brilliant tone of the Amati will
be heard at distance to which the other
cannot reach. DIR. Young, on the au-
thority of Derhan, states that at Gibral-
tar the human voice was heard a distance
of ten miles. 1t is a well known fact that
the human voice may be heard at a great
er distance than that of any other animal
Thus, when the cottager, in the woods or
in an open plain, wishes to call her hus-
band, who is working at distance, she
does not shout, but pitches her voice at n
musical key, which she knows from habit,
and by that means reaches his ear. The
loudest roar of the largest lion could
not penetrate so far. "This property of
musical sound in the human voice" says
Young, " is strikingly shown in the ca
thedrals abroad. Here the mass Is en-
tirely performed in musical sounds, and
becomes audible to every devotee, how
ever placed in the remoteSt part of the
church; whereas, if the same services
had been read, the sound would not have
travelled beyond the precincts Of the
choir"

THINGS WORTH FORGETTING.-lt Is al
most frightful and altogether humiliating
to think how much there is in the com
mon on-going of domestic and social life,
which deserves nothing but to be instant
" and ever forgotten. 1t is equally anna
zing how large class seem to have no
other business but to repeat and perpe-
trate these very things. This is the vo-
cation of gossips-an order OF society
which perpetrates more mischief than all
the combined plaques of Egypt together.
You may have noticed often how very
many speeches there are which become
mischieyous by being heard a second
time; and what an army of both sexes
are sworn into it, that the fatal repetition
shall be hadl Blessed is the man or wo-
man that can drop all the burrs and this
ties, instead of picking them up and fas-
tening them on the next passenger
Would we only let the malicious saying
die. how fast the lacerated and scandal
ridden world would get healed and tran
ouilized.-Dr. Huntington.
