And now. nv friends, do not know hut
that l shall commit some beresy; but as a
Democrat, and an Andrew Jackson Demo-
crat, say that am not for the Union as
it was. Understand me. I was for the
Union as it was, because saw, or thought
I saw, in tho future the troubles which have
burst upon US; but, having undergone
those troubles, having spent all the blood
aud treasure, do not like to 60 back again
and be "cheek BY jowl" as We were before
with South Carolina, if I can help it.
1Cheers. Let no man misunderstood me ;
and repeat it, lest it might be misundar-
stood, I do not mean to give up single inch
of the soil of South Carolina. If l had
been alive at that time, and had the position
and the ability, would have dealt with
South Carolina as Jackson did, and kept
her in at all hazards. But now she has
gone out and l will take care that when she
comes in again she comes in better behaved.
Laughter and cheers. l will take care
that she shall be no longer the frebrand of
the Union; ay, that she shall enjoy, what
her people have never yet enjoyed, the
blessings of republican form of govern
ment. [Cheers. Therefore, in thar view,
am not for the reconstruction of the
Union as it was. have spent tears and
blood enough on it, in conjunction with my
fellow citizens, to make it little better.
It was good enough if it had been let alone.
The OLD house ,cas good enough for me /;
but as they hare pulled dozen the early part,
Ipropose, ,chen ,oe rebuild 1t, to build nup
vith all the modern Improvements. En-
:husiastic applause. @
WILL THE NEGROES FIGHT?
There is one question which l am very
often asked, and will answer it here once
for all-will the neeroes fight? On that
subject have had no personal experience,
because left the Department Of the Gulf
before they were fairly brought into action.
But they did fight under Jackson at Chal-
mette. Let Napoleon III. answer it, who
has hired them to do what the veterans of
the Crimea could not do-whip the Mexi-
oans. Laughter Let the veterans Of
Napoleon l., who, under his brother-in-law
LIE Clerce, were whipped out of Saint Do
m,ngo by them, say whether they will fight
or not GApplause What has been the
dcmoralizing effect on them of contact with
the white man know not; but canno,
forget that they and their fathers would not
have been slaves if they had not been cap
tives of war IN their ewn country, made so
in hand to hand fights among the several
chiefs. That shows they would fight at some
time. If you want to know any more
about it l can only advise you to try them.

The Conscription.

A Washington special to the New York
Herald says there is reason to believe that
the execution Of the conscription will be
indefinitely postponed. The opinion is
openly expressed BY high authorities, that
the armies in the field are amply sufficient,
and all that is necessary is to gil up the
depleted regiments by recruiting.

A correspondent of the PHILADELPHIA
Var Press, writing from Nashville, Tenn.,
says: Ak D = a g
"Brigadier General Robert B. Mitchell,
commandant Of this post, is one of the
most able patriots in the service. He has
made himself, since bis appointment as
charge d. afaires at Nashville, particularly
odious among the rebels. He, out of all
the generals in command of different cities.
had the nerve to retaliate upon guerrillAs.
Dick McCann threw railroad train off the
track. and the general sent squad of men
to McCann's house, and they burned it to
the ground. He quartered sick Confeder-
ate soldiers upon rebel families, and put
rebel citizens of Nashville to many incon-
veniences on several occasions. A few days
ago Col. Martin wrote an order suppressing
the circulation of copperhead newspapers IN
this city, and sent it to Gen. Mitchell, who
signed his name to the document, and
transmitted it to Gen. Rosecrans, who de-
clined to approve of it, stating as his rea-
sons that he had no legal right to meddle
with journals that were permitted to be
published BY the President and the people.
General Mitchell was born in Ohio,
and emigrated to Kansas in the spring OF
1856. He served throughout the Mexican
war, in the regiment commanded BY Colonel,
now Major General Morgan, Of Cumberland
Gap notoriety-entering the regiment as a
private, and rising to captain. He was
twice wounded during the war. He was
prominent member of the Free State party
Of Kansas, during the troubles of lS56-57.
On the outbreak of the war, when the I'd
Kansas Regiment Of Volunteers was organ
lied, he raised company, of which he was
captain; and was afterwards elected colonel
of the regiment. He commanded the regi-
ment at the battle of Springfield, Mo-, and
in that memorable battle received three
wounds, one of which---in his groin-came
near terminating his life. He was left in
hospital at Springfield, on the retreat of
the army from there, aud for over month
was prisoner. He was appointed briga-
dier general in February, 1862. to rank
from the date of the battle of Springfield /;
aud in May, 1862, left Kansas with divi
sion for Corinth, Mississippi. From the
army of the Mississippi, General AlitchelPs
division passed to Tennessee, 10 reinforce
General Buell., joining the forces Of the
latter at Murfreesboro. He commanded a
division at Perryville, and was the first to
enter the town, capturing an ammunition
train of IS wagons, and about 800 prison.

500 wounded, at that battle

Remember Washington how glorious and brave
Tho the days of that hero are o'er--
Tho lost to the millions, and cold in his grave
He'll return to his country no more.
That star of America, which so often hath pour't
Its bcatns on the battle, hath set,
But enough of his glory remains on each sward
To light us to vitory yet.
Did God and his nature embcllish each tint,
On our fields and prarics so fary
Did He ever intend that tyrants should print,
The footsteps of slavery there?
No Freedom, whose smil,s will ncvcs resign
Go tell our invaders our fame;
That It's sweetcr to bleed for a country so fine,
Than to sleep but one moment in chains.
Forsakc not our companions who STOOD
In the days of battle hy Our side,
While the plains and the vallies grew red with
their blood;
They fled not, but conquered and died.
That sun which now blcsscs our army with hi.

Saw that hero when he fought on the plain,
And won the last battle for freedoms good fight
We're glad that he fought not in vain

On the field where our glory was WON
Well put down the rebellion, the traitors and

And still be nation when treason is down.

And save us home in the land off the free;
