A Brief sermon.

A correspondents of the Courier says:
"If anything aside from the wilful stu
pidity of this Administration has pro
longed the war, it has been the contin
ued and embittered editorials of the Re
publican press, not one of which has ev-
er suggested the golden rule or Christ's
memorable words-'And on earth PEACE,
good will toward men" A--@
If this writer has not read the Repub
lican newspapers more diligently thar
the bible, he is not qualified to express
an opinion as to the spirit Of their edit
orials. The "memorable words'o quoted
were not uttered by Christ, as the writer
of the above will see by referring to Luke
2-I3, IA. If he viii then turn to Mat
thew 1914, he viii find that Christ said:
"Think not that I am come to send peace
on earth; come not to send peace. but
a sword" the obvious meaning OF which
is. thst the application of his precepts
and principles would be opposed by the
powers of darkness and of evil. and the
struggle for ascendaney between rigf {
and wrong, justice and oppression, would
lead TO bl0od-shed and war. Christ 5
mission was one of peace and good T.
men, but not TO .he powers OF evil, which
we are called upon to resist even VII 4
the sword. And that is just what we 81 Z

discourse as follows:
The Democrats would say to JEFF. Davis.

one is We will not fight you. But JEFF.

Mr.. Davis-But we don't want TO live
with you, and according TO the doctrine
of State sovereignty We have a right to
do as we please.

Letter From a Federal Pris
HOW OUR CAPTIVE SOLDIERS REcARD III
CHICAGO PLATFORM

HOW OUR CAPTIVE SOLDIERS RHcARD TIE
CHICAGO PLATFORM.
The following letter from federal pris-
oner at Charleston IS published in the
Washington Chronicle.
-CHARLEsroy, s. G., Sept 8, 1864.
Walk with me through the prison;
you mark the eager discussion going on
in little groups, while the Charleston Her
curry passes quickly from hand to hand;
that paper cost q dollar; it contains the
Chicago platform. -
Here is a group Of western men
Hoosiers, Wolverines, Buckeyes, Logan's
Egyptians, Rousseau's Kentuclzians, Car
ter's Tennesseans-men who, from Cairo
to the Gulf, have redeemed the Father
of Waters;- have redeemed FIVE States,
and whose brothers in arms are to-day
driving Hoods shattered columns from
out northern Georgia, occupying the Gate
City of the South. Listen to that big
Cavalryman who rode with Grierson. He
is now on the second resolution, when
says We have failed in the experiment
of war" That is q lie. It wasan ex-
periment-it is not now. Does not the
conquest, as well as the reorganization of
the States We have passed through, prove
that the present policy towards the rsb-
els must result in certain success? Have
We lost one foot of acquired territory
since the war began? No, gentleman,
the fellow that penned that resolution,
and the men. that voted for it never felt
the glorious flush of victORy; never felt
the gratitude of liberated thousands; new
er knew the reality Of our triumphs.'-
This man was getting rather. eloquent,
when q Buckeye from Vallandigham's
district blurted out, L don't care for your
liberated thoussnds-but that resolution
is an insult 20 every man in the western {
army, and would like to experiment"
on every whipped dog that voted forfiE-'
These men seem bellgerent, and II
would advise the perpetrators Of thst-res-
olution not to mingle much in western
military circles.
There is another group-offieerso OF the
srmy-of the Potonlac-one of whom says:
i tell you, gentleman, the Chicago Plat
form has rather got Us on the -.experi-
ment question. We have fooled around
three years and have not got
1t yet; but I do think 1t Is very mean of
General Mcclellan TO twit us with il; Wa
fonght for him, we loved and trusted him:
and now he has deserted US, utterly OBJ
liVious of the factthat he had more to do
with the unsuccessful experiment Of war
than any man on the American continent
Now, listen to that Jack Tar. He helped
to cut the chain at Fort jackson, and has
caught torpedoes in every river of the
Southwest. 'Confound that resolution;
how old Farragut will swear when he
finds the Chicago Convention calls him
No, sir Jack knows better
We always have whipped the rebs, and
intend to keep it up. although it il
mighty hard to be legisated out OF, our
