A Chattanooga correspondent of the

that he night have done this, had pot the

The conservation of a Gem etery on til

Battle Ground Of Gettysburg on the 126th,
Twas one of the most solemn and impressive
J occasions ever witnessed in this country
& Over $4,000 people, including President
j Lincoln, several heads Of Departments, Gov
y errors of States, and other persons high in
- civil and military life, were present. A
very impressive Prayer was made by Rev.
j Mr. Stockton, the eloquent Chaplain Of the
n US. Senate. Hon. Edward Everett dey
u cred an grafton occupying hours and
minutes, which is pronounced among the
most eloquent ofhis discourses. Speeches
!. were made by Col. Forney, and the best one
Of the occasion by Lieut.. Gov. Anderson, of
\ Ohio. President Lincoln spoke as follows:
fathers established upon this continent a
Government subscribed in liberty and dedi-
Gated to the fundamental principle that all
~. mankind are created equal by a good God,
and [applause now we are engaged in a
great contest. We are contesting the ques-
] ton whether this nation, or any nation so
4 conceived, so dedicated can longer remain.
Y We are met on great battle field of the
war. We are met here to dedicate ror-
n ton Of that field as the iAal resting place of
~ who have given their lives to that nation
that it might live 1t is altogether fitting
~ and that we should do this. But in a large
: sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot conse.

brave menlying dead, who struggled here.
Y have cunsecrated it far above our poor power

Gated here to the unfinished work that they
have thus far so nobly carried forward. 1t
is rather for us here to be dedicated the
great task remaining before Us for us to re
new our devotion to that cause for which
they gave the full m easure Of their devotion

A Wine Bath.
A PLEASANT ITEM FOR LOVERS OF CT

A PLEASANT ITEM FOR LOVERS OF CHAM
An American traveller, in the streets
of Paris, seeing the words, Wine baths
given here exclaimed
well these French arc a luxurious
people, Then with true native Curl
osity, and the feeling that he could af-
ford whatever any one else did, he walked
in and demanded a wine bath
Feeling wonderfully refreshed after it,
.andhaying to paybut five fancs, he asked,
in some establishment, how a wine bath
could be afforded so cheaply. His sable
attendant, who had been a slave in Vir-
,ginia, and enjoyed a sly bit of humor, re-
oiled: Oh, massa, we jest pass it along
into annuder room, where we give baths
at four francs
Then you throw it away, | suppose
mo massa den we send it lower
down. and charge three francs a bath
Oars plenty of people who amt SO berry
particular, who will battle in it after this,
at two francs a head. Den, massa, we
lets the common people hab it at a franc
apiece
Then, of course, you throw it away,
exclaimed the traveller, who thought this
was going ever beyond Yankee profit.

DESIGNS OF THE TANKEEs.--The
New York caucasian" thus sums
them up. We commend them to the
attentive p~erusal Of our peace men
We know very we'll what the policy
of the administration will be towards
every State SO soon as it falls into their
power. Missouri, Maryland and LOU
isiana are vivid examples of their hate,
cupidity, INJUSTICE and tyranny. First,
the people will be disarmed ; and then
when helpless, their property will be
seized and confscated,aqd their homes,
lands and ancestral acres turned over
to the rapacious Yankee ~specula-
tor. Their organs of public opinion
will be suppressed ; their tribunals Of
justice overthrown !; their State laws set
aside, and their State Constitutions g-
hored. In place of all these sits one sn-
prcme, semi-military jtdge, like Pea
body in New Orleans, appointed at
Washington, who, under the mockery
OF the forms of justice, simply registers
the edicts ofthe vile Abolition cabal at
the capital. The whole theory of self
government is oyerthrown at a single
blow. The right of the free expression
0 opiuiop, which every American claims
as inalienable, is tyranuically sab
verted, and the privileges we claim for
ourselves inhumanly and wickedly de-
MED to others.

BaP DR.. Lawson's physician had a
dreadful habit of profane swearing
Lawson consulted him once about his
health. The physician swearing, said !:
"Sir you are the slave of a bad habit,
and you will not soon recover unless
you give it up"
"And what is the habit" said Law
son.
Smoking" replied the other.
Well" said Lawson, II can abandon
the pipe ; but will you permit me to
give you a hint, too, as to a vile habit of
your own :"
What IS that?,
81 refer to your habit of profane
swearing" replied the divine.
True" said the doctor, but that is
not an expensive habit like yours"
"Ah, sirsnn said Lawson, you will
discover it to have been a very expen-
sive habit indeed when the account is
J handed to you"
