Tennessee will be knocking loudly fof
re.admission to q Union which noe
long since they thought their pupy
efforts could quickly dissolve. They
are talking Of it even now.
Speaking Of being united, I tell you,
by the Eternal God; there was never q
more truthful sentence than that OF
Douglas: "Thosc who are not oith are
against u.s." aud reiterate it, and add,
those who are not with us should be
hung, or should be DIh their Southern
brethren, fighting Nth them.
Let them either aid the Government
or 60 where they can bolster up the
lettering fortunes of rebeldom. Better
have dozen foes in the field than one
fighting US behind our backs.
To all Copperheads, peace men; agita-
tors, anti-wRr men-be they Republi.
cans or Demoorats-for we have them
here, pretending to bo both--I have q
word to say on the behalf of our brave
soldiers. And you have undoubtedly
been told that the war has its opposers
in the ranks of the Union army. 1t is
an accursod and foul nspersion upon
the fair fame of men who are willing
to spill their blood, give their lives for
the country, They are for our Union
They fight for the people and their
country, for the suppression Of the re
bellion. Let me say to all opposers OIL
this war: The time s0iH come when
men composing this great army viii
come to their homes. They have watch
ed the progress Of events with interest
They have had their eyes upon these
unmitigated towards, these opponents
of the country and the Administration
I-(and the Administration, 1 contend
as the country and when they return
it will do the sonl of every truly loya
man good to see tho summary manner
in which they ,oiN cause these saedks ana
peace dgitdtorS TO seek their holes"
For few moments the crowd thai
had gathered around was deeply absorb
ed in what their "6ghting General" a,
many called him, said, and his re.
marks, although given upon the spur Of
the moment, struck home to the hearts
of all who listened. Could Logan make
the leaders of our people feel as he
fcels, and hence be enabled to speak,
this war could not last three months
It would be crushed out by force Of
numbers alone, After expressing him
self somewhat warmly against copper
heads and snenkS, General Logan co n.
eluded with the following characteris.
tic apology:
"You will excuse me, gentlemen, if,
in saying what l have said, have been
rather profuse and heavy in the way Of
emphasis. Two years away from civil
liEation, with my men, has made me
rather emphatic in all my thoughts and
words in regard to certain things. !
speak emphatically because I emphati-
cally feel that which my tongue finds
to say"

Early Breakfast---Its Effect or

Health.
Breakfast should be eaten in tho morn
ing, before leaving tho house for cxor
else or labor Of any description; thos,
who do it will be able to perform more
work, and with greater comfort md alac-
rity, than those who work an hour or
two before breakfast. Besides this, the
average duration of the life of those
who take breakfast before exercise or
work, will be number Of years great
er than those who do otherwise.
If early breakfasts were taken where
chill and fever, and fever and ogue pre-
vail, and if in addition brisk fire wer @
kindled in the family room for the
hours including sunset and sunrise
these troublesome maladies would di.
minish in any one year, not tcn-fold
but thousand fold, because miasm is
more solid, more concentrated and
hence more malignant, about sunrise
and sunset, than at any other hour dur
ing the twenty-four. This and much
more said upon the subject by D octor
Hall, agrees fully with our long expe-
rience in miasmatic region of the
West. The most industrious people
who come from England, where they
have been accustomed to early rising
and working before breakfast, were the
ones most liable to attacks in Autumn
of bilious fever and aguc. Let us,
therefore, urge evory resident in such
region never go to work, nor in fact 90
out doors without broakfasting; and let
no expense or trouble about the work
deter you from having your dwellings
purified by FIRE, In some parts of
South Carolina men have lost thoir
lives from a single nights exposure to

wise, took tea one evening with Mrs.
Mcclure, the wife Of Colonel Alexan-

Reported Change in Southern Feel
ing.

ing.
The New York Church Journal states
that an earnest appeal was lately receiv.
cd from Southern bishops and clergy
for two or three thousand prayer book,
and quantity of tracts for distribution
in the rebel army, accompanied by the
"kindest messages of undiminished ID
love, as Of old, to their brother church,
men at the North" IN which Bishor
Polk joined. The Journal makes thi,
further statement:
"There is an evident change going on
in regard to the feeling with which the
North is regarded. The fierce and ia.
naticnl hatred with which the war broke
out is steadily giving way to a noblel
and better feeling; so that many oI
those who, two years ago, were ready
to swear that they would never eat OF
wear or purchase anything that came
from here, are now looking forward
with expsctant interest, to tho time
when they may be able to resume their
annual summer visits to the North, nj
in the days before the war began"
AS the Journal, however, has been al
"conservative" as possible, without be
ing openly disloyal, since the war began
caring more about "the Church" thar
the country, its statements are to b
received with several grains of allow
ance.
