So bang our doors and lock 'em tight!

Nor ripe for disunion yet;
Before they do it, or get through it,

Letter from Mr.. Chase.

"The following is a correct copy of
the letter of Mr.. Chase to the Loyal
National League, in response to their
invitation to attend the Sumter meet
ing:
"You will meet to send words of cheer
to our brave generals and soldiers in
the field; to rebuke treason in our
midst, giving, in the garb of peace, aid
and comfort to treason in the panoply
of war to maintain inviolate the integ-
rity of the national territory and the
supremacy of the national constitution
and laws to strengthen the hands and
nerve the heart of the President for the
great work to which God and the peo-
Pile have called him. For what wor-
thier purposes can American citizens
now assemble
cit is my fixed faith, gentlemen, that
God does not mean that this American
republic shall perish. We are tried as
by fire, our country will live. Notwith-
standing all the violence and all the
Vaccinations of traitors and their sym
pathizers, on this or the other side of
the Atlantic, our country will live.
"And while our country lives, slave
ry, the chief source, and cause, and
agentof our ills, will die. The friends
of the Union in the South, before rebel
lion, predicted the destruction Of slave
ry as consequence of secession, if that
madness should prevail. Nothing, in
my judgement, is more certain than the
fulfiment of these predictions. Safe in
the states, before rebellion, from all
federal interference, slavery has come
out from its shelter, under state consti-
tions and laws, to assail the national
life. 1t will surely die, pierced by its
own fangs and stings.
"What matter now how it dies
Whether as a consequence or. object of
the war what matters? Is this time
to split hairs oflogic To me it seems
that Providence indicated clearly
enough how the end of slavery must
come. 1t comes in rebel slave states
by military order, decree or proclama-
tion not to be disregarded, or set aside
in any event as nullity, but maintained
and executed with perfect good faith
to all the enfranchised and it will come
in loyal slave states by the uncon-
strained action of the people and their
legislatures, aided freely and generously
by their bretheren of the free states.
l may be mistaken in this, but if am
another better way will be revealed.
meantime it seems to me very nee
essary to say distinctly what many yet
shrink from saying. The American
blacks must be called into this connlct,
not as cattle. not now, even, as contra
bands. but as men. In the free states,
and, by the proclamation, in the rebel
states, they are free men. The Attor-
ney-General, in an opinion which defies
refutation, has pronounced these free--
men citizens of the United States. Let,
then, the example of Andrew Jackson,
who did not hesitate TO oppose colored
regiments to British invasion, be now
fearlessly followed. Let these blacks,

Runaway Match (!

"A great many years since, when
bright eyed and fair-haired lasses, were
not SO plenty as they now are, there
dwelt in the town of P, a pretty viii
lage, distance some twenty-five miles
from the market town, peculiarly
ugly and cross grained but wealthy
farmer named Danforth, who had a
daughter as pretty as he was ugly.
Minnie was Danforth's only child,
and report said truly that she would be
his sole legatee. The old man was a
sturdy farmer, and was estimated to be
worth full twenty thousand dollars; at
that period very handsome fortune
to be sure.
The sparkling eyes and winning
manners of Minnie Danforth had stirred
up the finer feeling of the whole male
portion of the village, but her father
was peculiar and none succeeded in
making headway with him and her.
In the meantime, Minnie had a true
and loyal lover in secret! Who would
have supposed for one moment that
such a fellow would dare to look on
beauty and comparativement refine
ment? His name was Walker, or as
he was generally called Joe. Walker,
and was simply farmer employed by
old Danforth, who had entrusted Joe.
with the management of his place two
or three years.
But very excellent farmer and right
good manager was Joe. Walker. He
was young too-only twenty-three; and
he actually fell in love with this beau
tiful, pleasant, joyous Minnie Danforth,
his employers daughter. But the
strangest part of the occurrence was,
that Minnie returned his love, earnestly,
truly, frankly and promised to wed him
at favorable time.
Things went on merrily for a time,
but old Danforth discovered certain
glances and attentions between them,
which excited his envy and suspicious.
Very soon afterwards Joe learned the
old mans mind directly in regard to
the future disposal of Minnie's hand,
and he quickly saw his case was hope
less one unless he restored to stratagem
so he set bis wits at once to work. By
agreement, an apparently settled dislike
and coldness was observed by the low
ers towards each other for five or six
months; aud the father saw, as he be-
lieved, with satisfaction that his previ-
GUS fears had been premature. They
by agreement also between them, Joe
absented himself from home at evening,
and night after night for full three
months longer did Joe disappear as
soon as his work was finished, to return
home only at late bed time. This was
unusual, and old Danforth determined
to know the cause of it.
Joe frankly confessed that he was in
love with a mans daughter, who resid-
ed less than three miles distant, but af-
ter faithful attachment between them
for several months, the old man had
utterly refused his application for the
young girls hand.
This was capital-just what the old
man desired. This satisfied him that
he had made a mistake in regard to his
own child, and he would help Joe get
married, and thus stop all further
trouble or suspicious, at home, So he
said:
"Do you like her p
"Yes, sir-yes."
e9'hen marry her,"
"Bet l can't-her father objects"
"Pho let him'do so, what need You
care? Ron away with her,"
"Elope?"

Further Concerning Former Battles.

Probably no battle was ever fought
upon ground more unfavorabie for the
MAJ neuvring and deploying of troops.
Nearly the whole country in this vicin-
ity is covered with dense forest, much
of it being of the same character as
''The Wilderness" living only q shor.
distance west of this point. The tim
Der is mostly dead, and still very dense;
then, to make the forest still more i'm
peDetrable, there is denser growth of
dead underbrush, $50 that it is hardly
passable-certainly not for beast-and
the worst place conceivable for hand
ling troops. Yet very great part of
to-day's terrible battle was fought in
this almost impenetrable jungle, and
many dead and wounded on both sidex
still lie there, concealed in the gloomy
depths of"The Wilderness" The only
open ground upon which the battle was
fought, was the plain on the South sids
of the plankroad, near Chaucslloryills,
half mile long, and perhaps three
hundred yards wide. The only open
ground in our present position is
semi-circulsr crest, extending from tho
left of Gen. Sykes position TO the right
Of Gen. Howard's. Immediately IL
front of this are dense woods, con
ceiling our skirmishers and those e.
the enemy. This crest is our artillery
position, and here guns enough are
massed to blow to atoms the armies or
a dozen Southern Confederacies. The
enemy seem to have proper apprsc;-
alton of the courtesies In waiting for
them from this position. Twice to-day
they have essayed out of the woods
toward our guns, and twice have those
guns sent To their earthly doom untold
numbers of desperate wretches. The
artillery at this point is in charge q
