TRUE TEST OF LOYALTY.

I'm respect to the test Of loyalty set up by
some people at the present day-measuring a
mans patriotism by his subserviency, and blind
approval of every act of the President and his
Cabinet-the following lines from Christian
poet (CooPER), with slight alterations, may be
read and pondered with profit
We love the king who loves the law, and res
poets his bounds,
And regns content with them him we serve
Freely and with delight who leaves US free;
But rccollecting still that he is man,
We trust him not too far. King though he be,
And king in England, too, he may be weak
And vain enough to be ambitious still;
May exercise amiss his proper powers,
Or covet more than freemen chose to grant,
Beyond that mark is treason He is ours,
T. administer, to guard, t adOrn the state,
But not to warp or cheat it. We are his,
To serve him nobly in the common cause,
True to the death; but not to be his slaves.
Mark now the itf'rence, We that boast your
love
OF kings between your loyalty and ours:
We love the man the paltry pageant you;
We the chief patron of the commonwealth;
You the regardless author of its woe;
We, for the sake Ofliberty, a king;
You. chains and bondage for tyrant's sake:
Our love is principle, and has its root
In reason; is judiciOus, manly free;
Yours, blind instinct, crouches to the rod,
And ticks the foot that treads it in the dust.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1863-10-30

A correspondent of the Knoxville Reg-
lister, (now removed to Atlanta writing
from Cleveland, East Tennessee, October
third, is very melancholy over the willing
ness Of the people to submit to the Ma
tional Government. He says:
I find that nearly all the leading men who
remained at home, or returned home, have
taken the oath to that accused government
that is now striving to subjugate U.S. And 1
am truly sorry to say that many of our soldiers
have done the same. Captain Harry Dill for
merry of General Vaughn's old Third Tennes-
see regiment. has taken the oath and gone off
with the Federal army. and am informed is
connected with George w Bridges in the work
of raising regiment. He took quite a num-
Der belonging to East Tennessee regiments
from his neighborhood. The Captain was a
Pennsylvania Dutchman and his course can
be excused. The southern men who are at
home in East Tennessee, have about given up
the ship. Before our forces drove the enemy
last week, they had the news that General
Bragg had been surrounded and compelled to
surrender. Charleston and Richmond both
had fallen, and the rebellion was crushed out

ing the extraordinary departure of the
church OF which they are members, from
not only ecclesiastical usage, but the ameni-
ties of social life, in their implied sanction
of the language used by their pastor, Nj.
Charles Beecher, which they duly set forth.
This petition excited warm debate for
few minutes between those members who
thought such an extraordinary state of
things in sister church should be duly
noticed, and, if possible, a helping hand
extended, and others who thoug ht it best
to keep peace in the Conference, and leave
the aggrieved minority of the Georgetown
church to struggle on alone, as best they
might.
1t resulted in vote to appoint q CON-
mittee to investigate the affairs at George
town and report, and that in the meantime
the church be suspended from full COM

A Planter Kills a Federal Officer.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 21.-Informaton reached
here today of the murder, on Tuesday, of 1t.
Eben White, of the 9TH United States colored
regiment, which is now being organized by
Col. Birney. near Benedict, St. Marys county
The perpetrator Of the deed was Col. John H.
Sothorn, prominent slave owner of that
county. The lieutenant, with squad of his
company, was sent by Col. Birney to Benedict,
Oh Monday, to obtain recruits. Hearing that
SothOrn had two of his slaves tied up to keep
them from enlisting, the lieutenant proceeded
to SOthorn's house and ordered the men to be
released. Sothorn and his son refused, and
abused the lieutenant and threatened to shoot
him, both being heavily armed
L. White left and proceeded to field where
several of SOthorns slaves were at work, fol-
lowed by the father and son, who demanded
his object. The officer replied that he was
there to enlist all that were so disposed. After
some more abuse, the Sothorns declared they
would kill the lieutenant and fired their guns
upon the officer, who fell MORALLY wounded.
His body was brought here last evening, and
forwarded to his friends in Massachusetts,. The
TWO SOthOrnS escaped.

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 9, 1863.
LOSS OF AMMUNITION.
Within ten days two hundred tons of
ammunition have been lost TO Govern
ment in this department. A few DAYS
before the rebel raid upon our wagon
trains, an accident occurred at Bridge
port, resulting in the loss of about one
hundred tons. A number of men were
engaged in loading an ammunition train
with percussion shells quarrel originated
between two of them while they were car
rying box of shells from the magazine.
They concluded to settle it then and there,
and dropped the box on the ground to en-
gage ill fist fight. The shells exploded on
striking the ground, and the fire imme-
diately communicated to the magazine,
causing terrific explosion of its contents.
The dispntants were killed instantly. A
few others were killed, also, believe, and
fifteen or sixteen were wounded. The
sufferers were Illinois soldiers The rebels,
in their cavalry raid, destroyed one hun
dred and twenty ammunition wagons and
their contents. At least they attempted
to destroy them, but did not succeed alto

SANITARY GOODS DESTROYED.
Among the articles destroyed by Wheel
er's cavalry were seventeen wagon loads
of Sanitary Commission goods, and three
leads belonging to the United States Chris
tan Commission. They included lint,
bandages, hospital clothes, fruits, preserves,
meats, &C., intended for the use of our
wounded. DR.. Castleman, of Wisconsin,
was in charge of the sanitary stores, and
was captured. He fell into the hands of
Capt. Smith, of the 4th Alabama cavalry,
and says he was very courteOusly treated.
As a class, he says, the raiders were very
gentlemanly fellows, and made no attempt
whatever to interfere with private property
On reporting the nature of his mission, the
doctor was suffered to go in peace, as
were all other non combatants with the
train. 1t is a singular fact in connection
with this raid, that there were two mail
wagons in the train, both heavily loaded,
and neither were injured. They were
among the few vehicles that escaped
The rebels, in their hurry, did not observe
them, and the valuable prize slipped
through their fingers.

"A Novel Method of Squirting up
'Eeaansters..-1fufOrd Smelling His
Own Wagon Train.

From the Washington Republican of Saturday.
An incident occurred during the late
retrograde movement of Meade's army
which shows that General Buford is as
fertile in expedients as he is, brave in
an emergency. While bringing up the
rear. with the rebels not far behind him,
he came up with train of wagons several
miles long, numbering lis said, about 800
wagons. The train was stopped, and Bu-
ford could find no one in command to
start it. No time was to be lost. The
enemy was coming and Buford's command
would be cut up and the train captured.
The teamsters in that long line could not
be made to comprehend and act.
Gen. Buford, in few seconds, compre-
hended and acted. He ordered one OF his
rifed pieces to be planted in the rear of the
train, and began firing shells up the road,

,EFse Duration of the War.

HENRY CLAY once said, in discussing the
notification question:
When war begins, whether civil or foreign,
no human foresight is competent to see when
Or how or where it is to terminate. But when
civil war shall be lighted up in the bosom Of
manders are winning their victories, and fleets
are in motion upon our coast, tell me if you
can-tell me if any human being can tell--its
duration. =
And in the same speech the great
Kentuckian said, speaking of South Caro-
lima:
Let me tell you there is another consequence
an inevitable One-she has a certain descrip-
ton of persons recognized as property south
of the Potomac and West CT the Mississippi,
which would be no longer recognized as such.

was so great that the Provost Marshal had TO
call in guard to restrain the crowd. Shame
on such men living on Southern soil. 9~-e
Strange that such things should be, and
that the Southern people should be thus
overcome by summer cloud, when VAL
landigham travelled the breadth of the
land, and did not find one man, woman or
child, who was not resolved to perish
rather than submit.

over the wagons, at the longest range and
with a good elevation. A few of those
"rotten cannon balls " bursting over the
train reused the sleepers and fixed the
business. Believing that the rebels were
close upon them, the wagon masters and
teamsters applied whip and spur, and the
whole caravan moved off safely.
