Governor Bramiette and the new
No.

The Buifola Courier thus announces the pro-
posed address Of Gov BRAMLETrE of Kentucky.
in New York in behalf of the Democratic ticket
and conservative principles
Gov BRAMLETTE, OF KENTUCKY, TO SPEAK IN
BUFFALo.-We are gratifed TO announce that
Gov. Bramlette, of Kentucky, and probably other
loyal orators from that noble State, will address
the National Union men at st. james Hall, on
Monday evening next. A dispatch says that he
will arrive here on Saturday evening. probably in
time TO speak. also, at the meeting to be held
that night. Notwithstanding the Adminstra
ton organs display Kentucky in their pyra mid of
victories, every well informed man knows that
the UniOrists Of that State are in perfect sympa
thy with the conservative men OF New York, and
feel the deepest interest in the result of the pend
ing election. Gov. Bramlette has felt il to be a
duty not TO be neglected. to lend his presence and
his voice TO stem the tide of rad;calsm which
threatens TO DgIlf the nation. He will speak in
other places in this State, and will be welcomed
everywhere as a true Union man, whose loyalty
is manifested alike by his determined hostility to
the revolutionary and trelsonable purposes of
armed and unarmed rebels-tO secessionsts and
abOlitionists. Let give Gov. Bramlette a
Democratic greeting

nately, the orders themselves exist, and are in
writing, in the possession of Gen. Rosecrans. to
whom they were brought by the exTribune man,
Dana, now Of the War Department. Rosecrans,
however, will be sacrificed to crafty the malig-
nifty of Lincoln and Stanton. as Mcclellan was,
aud as Meade probably will be. In the mean
time, Burnside and Milroy. two of the most in
competent and worthless officers in the service,
are upheld and advanced to high honors, when it is
notorious that their misconduct deserves the se-
verest punishment, merely because they are in
favor of the war policy of the Administration,
that is to say, in favor of emancipation, conisca-
ton, subjugation and amalgamation. X

The ProcIamation-Its ..Effect..r

The National Inteligencer closes an admirable
comment upon Mr.. CuAsEs reference (in late
speech in 0hio) to the Emancipation Proclama-
ton and its effects, by the following very forcible
proposition:
"And in order that the dialecticisns who are
anxious to try their hands in substantiating the
proposition advanced by Mr.. Chase in behalf of
the efficacy Of the proclamation may argue to
some definite purpose and not waste their logic
on an irrelevant issue, growing out of the opera
tions of military force, we submit to their con-
sideration the following theses, which exhaust
the conditions of the problem and give precision
to the question:
slavery everywhere destroyed by the hos
tile presence of our armies before the procama-
ton was issued;
"Slavery is everywhere DESTROYED by the hos
tile presence of our armies since the procama
ton has been issued;
Required to prove that it is the proclamation
which destroys slavery.
"And again:
"The hostile presence Of a military force where
the proclamation does not apply (as in New Or
leans, Tor instance,) produces the destruction of
slavery;
Where the proclamation does apply. but
where there is no hostile presence of our military
forces (as in Alabama) slatery remains undis-
turbed;
Required to prove that it is the proclamation
which damages slavery"

A Thousand Dollars for a Breakfast.

In his recent speech at Columbus Mr.. Secre-
tary Chase gave the people TO understand, as re-
ported by his Cincinnati organ, the Gazette. that
this war is to be prosecuted on tie theory ad-
vanced by Charles Sumner-the wiping out of
State Constitutions and State limits st the South
IF in doing il we had to come TO the old revo-
lu;ionary standard aud thousand dollars for
breakfast" at the rate at which food and fuel
are advancing we shall not have to wait long for
Mr. Chase's costly breakfasts. Every poor man
who at present prices is looking forward to the
ways and means of his living during the coming
winter will no doubt relish the prospects which
the regulator and manufacturer of our currency
has in store for him But what cares Mr.. Chase
about the cost of a breakfast so long as be has

Thus, nearly two millions of men have been
called out. making number equal to about two
thirds the total vote cast in 1861 for President in
the Northern free States. The men who have

The TWO sharpshooters.

Two men went out from the fire. lit camp
In the autumn midnight gray;
Over the quaking, croaking swamp,
To the edge Of the woodland still and damp,
With rife and spade went they.
A hunting owl walled out to its young,
And picket stood as still
In the meadow below as the shadows flung
By the beaded tent lights thickly strung
On the silver-threaded rill-
Twas long ere the picket moved away.
And there was 10 time 10 lose,
The pits must be dug by the dawn Of day;
Said One-'We are digging graves, say"
The other one whispered, "WhOsel"
With the morning light column Of steel
Moved upward along the hill,
Toward the hidden pits, with a double peal,
Close in the front made the column reel
A moment, and then stand still.
The check won battle field that day;
On the morrow the dead were laid
Head to foot i'm a trench Of clsy;
But Two apart in the front that lay
Were buried without a spade.
