On the Chicago Surrender,
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.


What! hoist the white flag when our triumph
is nigh?
What crouch before Treason7 make Free
dom lie2
What! spike all our guns when the foe is at
bay
And the rags of his black banner dropping
away?
Tear down the strong name that our nation
has won,
the sun?
He's coward who shrinks from the lift of
the sword
He's a traitor who mocks at the sacrifice
poured;
Nameless and homeless the doom that should
blast
The knave who stands idly till peril is past,
But he who submits when the thunders have
burst
And victory dawns, is of towards the worst.
Is the old spirit dead? Are we broken and
weak,
That cravens SO shamelessly lift the white
cheek,
To court the swift insult, nor blush at the blow.
The tools of the Treason and friends of the
foe
See Anarchy smiles at the Peace which they
ask,
And the eyes of Disunion flash out through
the maskl
Give thanks, ye brave boys, who by vale an6
by crag
Bear onward, unfaltering. our noble old flag,
Strong arms of the Union, heroes living and
dead
For the blood of your valor is uselessly shed
No soldiers green laurel is promised you here,
But the white rag of "sympathy" softly shall
cheer
And you, ye war martyrs, who preach from
your graves
How captives are nursed by the masters of
slaves,
Or, living, still linger in shadows of Death
Puff out the starved muscles, recall the faint
breath,
And shout, till those towards rejoice at tie cry,
t'By the hands of the Union we fought for we
die!'
By the God of our fathers! this shame we
must share,
But it grows too debasing for freemen 20 bear,
And Washington, Jackson, will turn in their
graves
When the Union shall rest on two races of
slaves,
Or, spurning the spirit that bound it of yore,
And sundered, exists as nation no mOre

The Mode i'm which Soldiers
Shall Vote.

The following is an abstract of the bill,
passed at the late extra session of our
Legislature, prescribing the manner in
which the soldiers shall vote -
Sec l. Provides that whenever any of
the qualified electors ofthis commonwealth
shall be in actual military service under a
requisition from the President or Govern
or, and consequently absent on the day Of
holding general, special or Presidential
elections, they shall be entitled to exercise
the right of suffrage as fully as if they
were present at their proper places of
vote; and the right Of such voter is not
to be impaired by reason of his being
credited for bounty in any other locality
than his actual residence.
Sec. q A poll is to be opened in each
company composed in whole or part of
Pennsylvania soldiers, at the quarters of
the captain or other officer, and all electors
of SAID company who shall be within one
mile of such quarters On the day Of cleo
ton, and not be prevented from returning
by the proximity OF the enemy or Of COM
manders, shall vote at such headquarters,
and no other place. Officers others than
those Of company, the other voters de-

Condition of the SOuth---Duty y
of the North.

The following is the celebrated and
highly interesting letter of Brig.-Gen.
T. Seymour, lately prisoner under fire
at Charleston, to the people of the North
Read it, and ponder over it -
WILLIAMsTowN, MASS, Aug. Is, 1864.
My Dear Sir You ask for my i'm
preston of the present condition of the
Southern Confederacy, AMI you shall have
it. For the benefit of our cause, wish
it might be impressed upon every soul in
the land, that the confidence begotten of
my three months observations in the in
terror of the South might be shared by
every man who has the least connection
with the responsibilities oe this struggle.
And / am sure that these opinions are not
peculiar to myself. Every one Of the fifty
officers just exchanged will express the
same-every one Of them, whether from
the jails of Charleston or the pens of Ma
con and Andersonville, will confidently
tell the same story.
The rebel cause is fast failing from ex-
haustion. Their two grand armies have
been reinforced this summer from the last
resources of the South. From every cor
ner OF the Iauu, cFcl Oiu Hidu dHo OsCAJ
boy capable Of bearing a rifle has been
impressed, willingly or unwillinsly, and
hurried to the front. Lees army was the
first so strengthened. 1t was at the ex-
pense of Hoods. Governor Brown told
the truth with plainness that was very
bitter, but it was none the less the truth.
Let me extract few prominent state
ments from his proclamation of July 9,
addressed to the Reserved Militia of
Georgia" ;"
ga late correspondence with the Pres
ident of the Confederate States satisfied my
mind that Georgia is to be left to her own
resources to supply the reinforcements to
General Johnston's army, which are in
dispensable to the protection of Atlanta,
and to prevent the State from being over
run by the overwhelming numbers now
under command of the Federal General
uoon our soil. x x
s.But there is need of further rein
forcements, as will be seen by the accom-
panying letter of General Johnston.
And it becomes my duty to call forth
eue,y man in the State able to bear arms,
as fast as they can be armed, to aid in the
defence of our homes, our affairs, and the
graves of our ancestors

From Gen. Grants Army.

EEw YoRK, Dec. l3,-The Herald's dis
patches from Grants army gives addlIlon-
al nartiCuIars of the FeconuOissance OF Geo.
Niles command on Friday last to HatCher's
RuD, on the right of the rebel forces de-
Tending Petersburg.
After capturing the enemy's works Gen.
Miles men held them throughout the night.
Their object being accomplished they were
DFeparing ueXt morning to return to the
Army of the Potomac, when q furious
charge was made upon them by the rebels
who were soon rePulsed, and in turn,
charged upon and driven for some distance.
After this the Union troops returned to
their old camp, which they reached on
SATURDAY evening. Their casualties were
Iieht. A number of rebels were captured.
The rebel division under Gen. Field
made a reconnaissance on Saturday down
the Darbytowp road, on the right OF Gen.
Buffers lines. They seemed to be satisfied
with a very hasLy observation, as they
soon retraced their steps.
About midnight on Friday the rebel ar
tillery opened heavily both on Dutch Gap
and on the right OF the army OF the James
near the Newmarket road. but with little
effect. Their FIRE was, however, respond
ed to. -
character Of the column under Gen. Mar
rem. which went sOuthWard on Wednesday
along the Weldon railroad. There were
uucoufirmed rumors that he had tight
and gained q victory at JaFreIts station,
80 miles from Petersburg.
Rebel papers now admit that small
Union force had been lodged between
Drury's Bluff and the Hewlett House bat
The The Richmond Examiner Of the 10th
saws: We learn that the force sent by
Grant down the Weldon road consisted OF
one entire corps besides cavalry. Every
man of them ought 10 be captured.
The Wing says a good many knowing
people are exercised as to the destination
of the raid. II they have no more cavalry
than reported they will, of course, soon
get 10 the end of their journey. On the
other hand We are inclined to belieVe that
they are better equipped than reported and
ne viii soon hear Of the destruction oil
bridges. &C., in the direction of Weldon.
This We are frank to admit will give u1
sone Inconvenience, bot will not retrieve
In the least the palpAble aud irretTievable
failure which Grant has made in his ''On
/ 70 Richmond and Petersburg"
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THBsPOToMAC
Dec. l2.-The expedition under Gen. War
reu which left some days since has re-
turned TO camp this morning IL may DC
1 considered one of the most successful o.
the campaign. Some l5 miles Of mack o
the Weldon rail road Was destroyed; al
the depots along the route were burned
Numerous mills, barns and dwellings, frOu

our troops, or from which the OceuPaut
\ had He'd we're destroyed. Our loss did no
exceed so killed and wounded, aud I

Gov. PIERPoSr and Gen. Butler do not

onr Three ArmIes.

The indications are that there will be q
elimination this week OF more than one OF
the three great campaigns which are noW
in proRress-.hat of Sherman in Georgia,
that of Thomas in Tennessee, and that Of
Grant in Virginia, Whatever may be the
exact point at which Sherman is aiming,
there is no doubt that by this time his ar
nv is very near TO tbs sea board, and ifit
is going to have a serious action with the
enemy al all, the event must be close at
hand. In Middle Tennessee, again, it would
seer,1 as if matters colld not remain longtn
their present state. Hood is closely manac-
inc the defencer of Nashville while be has
planted batteries on tho Cumberland river,
northwest of the city, aud his forces have
also been found to tAeb eastward. 1t he
proposes to assault, his opportunity has
come, and If he proposes TO march into
Kentucky, he could not find . better mo.
ment, though events may prove ne eonlo
not have chosen a worse one. besides the
assault on the city, and movement north
of It, there is but one other operation In
which he caDlhAve any hope-a march into
East Tennessee. II he accomplish neither
of these, the rebel campaign will stand con-
fessed a terrible failure, and no hope ioF
Hood in the future. In Virginia, as well as
In the far South and Southwest, our columns
this morning, bear witness that activity Is
again to be the order. The object oil the
movement begun by Gen. Warren on our
left rear on Wednesday last, has not yel
been fully developed, but We shall present
