s.TOGETHER.,'

Together! togetheri Oh, why should we
part?
Together in hand, and together in heart
Shoulder to shoulder, as ever before,
Oh. still let us strive for the Union oi
you're?
Oh, we'll may we bleed, as our forefathers
bIed,
For Liberty dies when the Union is dead,
Then still let US cling to our Union Of old;
1t is better than all Of our lives and our
gold.
Northerner, Southerner, still you are one,
Spite of the foul deed that traitors have
done
Spite of your bloodshed and spite of your
hatei
Living or dead, you are joined in your
fate.
As one you have risen; as one you must
falll
And one flag or no flag must float over all.
For better or worse We have plighted our
troth,
And the ruins of the Union must bury us
both.
Then bloody and long though the contest
may be,
Our freemen must fight for the cause of
the free:
Though rivers of blood may yet deluge
the land,
Our heart must not fail us, nor slacken our
hand.
No counting Of cost! for the Union is
werth,
All the lives ofthe South and the lives of
the North;
For what is of value to you and to me,
If the stars shall be torn from the flag of
the free?
Togetherl together! Join hands snce
againl
Though years be before US of toll and of
pain.
Toge.herl together! we conquer or fall;
For one flag or no flag must float over

Occasional Truths from Re.
publican Sources.

The New Haven rConn] Courier, de-
voted Republican paper, says:
Contractors have carried on the war
The blood of our men, the graves of our
killed, the tears of our orphans and wild
ows, have been coined into money They
have swindled the government out of hun
dreds Of millions. They haze piled for
tune upon fortune. As distinguished
officer at Washington said, call the OPP
erations Of this war are managed by pc.
litical swindlers.
The Harrisburg Telegraph, published
Office holder under Lincoln, says:
The lust of gain, the greed of power and
temptation of position, which now prevail
among a very large class in the Free
States, has much to do with the prolonga.
ticn of the war.

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-The Tribunes
special states that gentlemen who are ac-
customcd to watch the current of European
politics. and are in receipt of private cor
respondence from we'll informed SOURCES
abroad, predict great and general war,
growing ont at the Potsh.questiou, which
will convulse Europe by next Spring. 1t
is believed at St. Petersburg that Russia
will then have l,000, 900 men under arms.
and will be prepared for any emergency.
1t Is coniectured here that the true ex-
niana'ion Of the appearance Of the Rus
sian vessels If war in our ports is to secure
them irom being bloskaded ia home ports
as was the case during the Cri,ue.u war.
All quiet along the lines is the report
from the 'front.' Tie soldiers have been
both gladdened snd plunds by an ar
rival Of long train of cars loaded with
sutletss goods.

The Slaughter of OfLongstreef's
Corps.

Colonel j. T. Wilder. lately in com.
mand in the Army of the Cumberland. thus
describes the terrible slaughter of Long
streets men,tin the battle of Chioamauya;
Among the incidents of this battle of
Saturday, Colonel Wilder described the
fearful slaughter of Longstreet's men st
the time they were driven back BY sur left
wing. This celebrated cerps, as desperate
soldiers as ever lived. attacking two di-
visions, Van Cleve's and Davis to the right
and little in front of Wilder, sepsrated
them and pushing on through the open
space yelpine-the rebel shout is yelp,
in stead of civilized hurrah--and conf.
dent of victory. A portion of them hsd
TO cross small field. behind which, in the
bordering woods Wilder lay, and to carry
off the water of an adjacent stream or
swamp.
"As the rebels entered this field, in
heavy masses fully exposed, the mounted
infantry, with their seven shooting rifiex
kept ssup a continouss blast Of fire upan
them, Lilly, with his Indiana battery,
hurled at them double-shotted canister
from his 10 FOUNDER rifles, at less than 500
yardz.-The effect was awfulE Every shot
SSCLhSu w tOit, thC uCdu VI ehC cCiuMu, -
it was pushed on by those behind, appears /.
ing to melt away or sink into the earth:
for though continually moving it got no
nearer. 1t was rallied and came on again,
and with desperate resolution pushed
through the solid fire to the ditch. Here
all who could get it took shelter.
''Instantly Lilly whirled two of his guns
and poured right down the whole length
of the ditch his horrible double canister.
Hardly q man got out of it alive. AT this
point, said Wilder who has been seasoned
to slaughter by being two hundred tiues
under fire, it iactually seemed pity to
kill men So. They fell in heaps, and I
had itin my heart to order the firing to
cease to,end the sight. But the mereiless
seven shooters and canister would not stop.
aud again the boasted flower o. Lees army
was crushed into disorderly mob and
driven off.
"When the firing ceased, one esuld have
walk for two hundred yards down that
ditch on dead rebels without ever touch
ing the ground. OF course Col Wilder
does not claim that his brigade defeated
Longstreet. His statement refers only to
that portion of the cerps which entered
the field in his front. He thinks that No
less than 1000 rebels we're killed and
Inded In this field. 1t was probaly the
most disastrous FIRE Of the two-days tight
on either side.

John w. Forney, in the Philadelphia
press, says;
"The repulse at Chattanooga would be
a mere triie compared with the success OF
the Democratic party in Ohio or Pcnnsyl-
vania, The one can be retrieved by
bravery, but the other would be an evil
beyond the power of wisdom to remove,
and would only end with the next Guber-
national term. y
1t was because the Abolition leaders
acted on that idea, and sent thousands of
soldiers into Pennsylvania and Ohio to
control the election, that we suffered the
defeat at Chattanooga. - The death of
the brave boys who fell there are upon
