Eloquent Preroration.

One of the most eloquent speeches OF
the present session Of Congress, was that
Of Hon. Horace MAYNARD Of Tennessee,
delivered in the House on Saturday last
But The Union as Il was is catch
word Of the hour The Union as it was
Ul.enf When Washington, TO suppress
rebellion, sent into Western Pennsylva-
MIA fifteen thousand men, under the cori-
mand OF his neighbor and friend, Gener-
al Lee--Geueral Lee, who, could he leave
the abodes Of glory, would smite aud
confound his traitor son2 When Web
ster and Clay rallied TO the support OF
& jackson, and sent treason, whipped and
abashed, to it's lair? When Willard Fill
more, called 20 account for the disposition
of his fleets ia the harbor Of Charleston,
replied that he was not responsible for
his official conduct TO the Governor of
South Carolina2 Or IS IL was in the
waxing and waning days of a later Ad-
minislration, when treason sat
squat like toad"
Al the senile ear of executive power, and
hatched lis miscbievous plot in the very
Az It was In the day of iis glory and
might, or as II was in the night Of its
weakness aud shame? AZ ii was when
strong, honest men gave direction 70 its
councils, or rs il was when turpiiude
claimed and took precedence Of decreti
tude In the conduct Of its atfairsP FIR
upon this inquiry must largely depend
the real signlicance of this rallyiag cry
whether il means a re-esiablishment
of the flag and re- assertion OF the ma
tional authority over every rood OF our
domains, or is bat an empty formula, TO
be interpreted 70 suit any occasion.
The Uni as IL was, say, rather, the
Union as il will he when, the Constitution
maintained IN all its spirit aud yigor,
even very forms preserved invioIae
peace restored upon The basis Of our in
divisibility, the self. protecting power Of
popular government asserted, our multi
piled millions shall present TO mankind
anrxample of government mightirr, ireer,
aad hap,i + than the world has ever seen.
Then will b. realized The conviction If
great Eng lish statesman, who rising above
the mists Of prejudice and traditional
enrnity which have beclouded 80 many
of his country mon, has asserted the JUS
tice and hopefulness Of our cause, in
words contrasting most gracefully with
the ribaldry aud cynicism by which we
have been so constantly assailed:
al canot myself believe in such fate
Detailing, that fair land stricken though
IL now be by the hand Of war; cannot
believe that civilization in its journey
with the sun will sink into endless night
20 crafty the ambition OF The leaders of
this revolt, who seek to wade through
slaughter to throne, and shut the gates
OF mercy on mankind l have another
and far brighter vision before my gaze.
II may be but vision, but | will cherish
IT, see one vast confederation stretch
ing from the frozen North, in one un.
broken line, to the glowing South, and
from the wild pillows OF the Atlantic to
the calmer waters of the Pacific main,
land see one people and ono law, and one
5 language, and one faith, and over all that
wide continent the home of freedom and
q refuge for the oppressed of every race"

DEAR FRrENp: Where is Col.
Hamil(6nP IL in New Orleans, tell him
the Rebels are buying up everything here
that can be eaten, worn, or that can be used
TO kill Union men. IL is astonishing TO
see the enormous quantity Of goods that
20 from here into Texas. Millions Of dol-
lars worth of cotton are sold here month";
ly; all Of which is sent back 10 the Reb-
els, by their agents here, in the shape of
powder, lead, coffee, blankets, shoes, rope,
sugar, cotton goods OF all kinds, aud, in
fact, everything that can be used by their
army. An order is here now for 600 900
blankets, all OF which can be had, aud
with asuilicient amount of money TO pay
for them.
j. r. Baylor is getting up another
brigade for the Invasion Of Arizona and
New Mexico. He intends &c start about
Jan. l. An agent is now here buying a
wagon train for him. Agents are on the
frontier, and a. far in the interior as San
Louis Potosi, buying up all he WHEAT
and nour that eau DO had, and are al
ready seeding il across The Rio Grande
daily. Most Of the goods so from here
aoross the river az Fort Dautan. Oaly a
fow cross at Laredo or Roma. Uutil this
trade is cut oil Texas will not feel the
blockade, at least the western part II
a union force could only be sent 10 Fort
Brown. IL would have the ELECT 10 stop
the trade almost entirely
You eau hardly have an idea OF the
way Union men are tleRed in Texas.
They are hung on the slightest suspicion,
and by bodies of irresponsible men, who,
were they in country where law was
respected would not DO allowed outside
OF prison yard.
You have probably heard of tho way
that a email body Of Union men were
treated bY the Texas Rangers aad part
OF j McDuff's company, at the bend OF
the Nueces. / learn from gentleman
who had conversation with an officer
who was present AZ the massacre, that
twelve passports from Provost Ma shals
Of Western Texas were found On the
bodies Of the Union men killed, by
which they were allowed to pass freely
over any part OF the frontier. Af'er the
affair on tho Nuecee, another party OF
twenty Germans were attacked ON the
Rio Grande, as these were preparing to
cross H. by large party OF hangers,
They succeeded in killing q number Of
Rangers and driving them back, only
having Ia the party one man wounded
slightly. They immediately crossed the
ripsy, leaving their horses with tho Tex.
ans, and throwing their guns into the
water,
We have here upon this from
tier about ], QUO Union men, who are only
waiung for an invasion Of Texas 10 get
= chance 20 Join the Union army.
