Divide, or Die.

This incident is related by letter
writer in the Potomac army:
On one of those biting cold mornings,
while the armies of Meade and Lee were
staring at each other across the rivulet
known as Mine Run, and when moments
appeared to be hours, and hours days,
so near at hand seemed to be the deadly
strife, a solitary sheep walk leisurcly
along the run on the rebel side. A re-
bel vidette fired and killed the sheep,
and, dropping his gun, advanced to re-
move the prize. In an instant, he was
covered by a gun in the hands of a
Union vidette, who said, "Divide is the
word, or you are dead Johnny" This
proposition was asseDted to, and
there, between the two skirmish lines,
Mr.. Rebel skinned the sheep, took one
half and moved back with it to his post;
when his challenger, in turn, dropped
his gun, crossed the run, got the other
half of sheep and again resumed the du-
ties of his post, amidst the cheers of his
comrades, who expected to help him eat
it. Of the hundreds of hostile men ar.
rayed agaisnt each other on either bank
of that run, not one dared to violate the
truce intuitively agreed upon by these
two soldiers.

OF Sherman, we notice, in the Chat

umns of casualties in the 1st, I'd aud Sd
divisions of the Goth Federal army corps
in an engagement on tho 25th ult. There
are nearly one thousand names in the
list, many of the wounded dying soon
after the fight, and large proportion
shot "in the back" From the number of
Dutch that were killed and wounded we
judge that the quantity of lager shed on

quite a respectable list of killed.

A correspondent of the Columbus
(Ga) Times, writing from Johnston's
army, thus refers to Gen James Cantey
formerly of this State:
Gen. Cantcy is evidently irbad health
but still giving his undivided attent ion
and energies to his command, He has
gained much3honor for himself and his
command in the late movement from
Dalton. His division brought up the
rear or moved in front--thc most of the
way fought the enemy almost alone at
Resaca, and engaged him at Cass Sta
tion.

that Maj. Gen. Lowell is to take charge
of Cantcy's division in front, under Gen.
Johnston.

yice-Pre.ident HamiiU on the War,

The National Union Club of ofPhiladelphia, an
organization Of large numbers and powerful in
fuence among the loyal community, celebrated
its anniversary on the 18th inst. at the Acade-
my of Music by public meeting Governor
Curtin presided, and among the gentlemen upon
the platform were Governor Pollock, the Vice
President of the United States, Henry T.. Blow,
of Missouri, and other members of Congress-
Speeches were made by Hannibal Hamlin, H.
T. Blow, Leonard Myers and other.
Vice President Ha,ulin, in the course of his
remarks, said:
SThe man who would now clamor for party is
unworthy to be citizen of this great govern
ment. There is a class of men in every COM
munity who tell us we must have the Consti-
tuition as it is and the Union as it was. That
idea carries with it the idea that we must re-
ceive back the men whose hands are reeking
with the blood of our fathers and sons-that we
must restore the status of slavery where it has
been broken and upturned. The man who ar
CUES thus would roll back the tide of freedom
flowing over rsnsomed territory, and bring back
to power the traitors who have sought to de-
str0y US.
"Man is everywhere to stand erect in the dig
nifty of freedom. The tide of emancipation is
not to be rolled back, but to be rolled on. We
are not to close this war until the cause of it is
removed. Iong Applause.) We are to stand
upon higher civilization even than that given
to us by our fathers. We are going to plant this
government upon basis of freedom that shall
render it stable for all coming time. The prog
ress toward that result is fast and rapid. No
man can tell the precise time when this rebel
lion isto be broken, but the signs of the times
already show US the beginning of the end. 1t
is now narrowing. Its limits are circumscribed.
The hope off division in the North has been one
ofthe great and paramount causes that have
buOyed them up. But the North is united,
from the pine forests of Maine to the old Key
stone State, for constitutional liberty over the
Union.
"The rebels see it and feel its effect. Anoth-
er hope that stimulated them was, that the re-
sources of the North would not be contributed
to the government They were again mistak-
en-. They have failed in everything. When
they see this fully, the rebellion must and viii
come to an end.

"RetaIiation in Kind.

Under this heading the Detroit Free Press
scores the Vallandighamers who propose to en-
graft retaliation in kind" upon the party creed.
The latter day Judas Iscariot, and modern Ben
dict Arnold, who is watching and waiting across
the Detroit river, in his letter upon mobs, says
retaliation, therefore, is the only and rightful
remedy in times like these. speak advised
"ly, and recommend it in all cases hereafter"
The Detroit Free Press, in noticing the action
Of Democratic Convention in Indiana, at which
retaliation -in-kind resolutions were adopted,
says:
To retaliate in kind means, if it means any
thing, that when abolitionists or republicans in :
cite any of their followers to acts of violence
that swift vengeance should be dealt out upon
men belonging to that party, without reference
to their participation in the violence committed,
instead of resorting to the law for protection or
redress. What mans life is
safe if this is once established as the rule of ac-
ton? What is retaliation in kind? 1t is to set
the laws at defiance, to kill, burn and destroy,
because others are alleged to have committed the
same crime. Retaliation in kind does not con-
tent itself in following up the guilty and visit
ing vengeance upon them, but it wreaks ven
geance upon the first victim who chances to be
found in the path of the infuriated mob how
ever innocent of the crime committed.

Presidential.

Great results have been achieved, demonstrate
ing the efficacy of the plans and policy of the
Administration. True, ali may not have been
accomplished that possibly might, but who can
surely say that under the executive direction OF
any other than Mr.. Lincoln, greater progress
would have been made? Every declaration OF
that kind is mere speculation. We have too
many substantial facts for congratulation, to in
dulge in chidings and lamentations over sup
posed lost opportunities.
In the dark uncertainty that Overhangs our
political future, there is wisdom in the injunc-
tion, which it would be well to heed Better
to bear those ills we have, than fly to others we
know not off, Western ReSerre Cbron.

TIE BEAUTIFUL HILLS,

Obi the beautiful Hills where the blest have troC
Since the years when the earth was new,
Where out fathers gaze from the fields of God,
On the vale we are journeying through;
We have seen those hills in their brightness rise,
When the world was black below,
And we've felt the thrill of immortal eyes
In the night of our darkest woe.
The cities of yore that were reared in crime;
And renowned by the praise ofseers,
Went down in the tramp of old King time,
To sleep with his gray-haired years;
But the beautiful hills rise bright and strong
The smoke of old Times red wars,
As on that day when the first deep song
Rolled up from the morning stars,
We dream of rest on the Beautiful Hills
Where the traveller shall thirst no more,
And where the hum of a thousand rills
That wander the green wales Ger;
We feel the souls of the martyred men
Who have braved the cold worlds frown,
We can bear the burden which they did then,
Nor shrink from their thorny crown.
Our arms are weak, yet we would not fling
To our feet this load of ours;
The winds of spring to the valleys sing,
And the turf replies with flowers;
And thus we learn on our wintry way
How mightier arm controls
That the breath of God our lives will play
Till our bodies blossom into souls.
