Gen. Hooker at ah8f Union
League.

Gen. Joseph Hooker visited the Un-'
ion League Club, of New York, on
Thursday evening, and was welcomed
by avery large attendance Of members,
In whose behalf Mr.. r. Sturgis, the
President, addressed him.
Gen. Hooker, in reply, observed that
the Loyal League were not aware Of
the service they had rendered the arr
my. They had formed good reserve,
and for this ihe army felt strong in front.
The fighting is now nearly closed
There will be few spasmodic plunges,
but they are the natural manifestations
Of dying, The Government has been
slow; the people have been fast, and
have led the Administration but the
latter has come along, and, on the
whole; done tolerably well. 1t is alb
surd to suppose the soldiers can vote
other than one way. They will vote
as they have fought, to put down the
rebellion. We have not only fought
the rebellion, but England. She has
furnished the rebels with all their arms
and clothing, and for these she holds a
mortgage on the whole South. I don't
think she will attempt to foreclose it.
Gen. III. further remarked that he had
at no time felt any doubt of the success
of the war for the Uuion. There had
been mistakes and mfsmanagement in
its conduct, yet the Union arms had
made steady progress, SO that the close
of each year had seen the area of the
rebellion narrowed and its relative pow
er materially weakened. He confident
ly believed that we were now very near
the end--nearer than most of us believ-
ed. But he would have no overtares
made to the rebel Chief; at the proper ,
time, they would signify their readiness
to give it up. The time to begin negeT
tiatiog was when we had finished the
fighting. .,rr.lioz, .,.4lE
1t is folly to talk oft till we have
whipped out our enemies and swept
away the cause of the rebellion. The
Constitution must be interpreted in
accordance with the principles of hui
manity, nor can we have permanent
peace till we do so. We must not make
q peace in such way that another war
will break out again within ten years. Z
We have been generous enough to our
enemies-even to a fault-and they in
variably construed our lenity into weak:
ness. ""''< ~.
The General was frequently cheered
during the progress of his remarks, and
at their close be was greeted with pro-
longed and hearty applause, ., br,

compact of government, the United
States had certain rights in Georgia
which have never been relinquished
and never will be; that the South be-
gan war by seizing FORTS arsenals,'
mints, custom-houses, etc., etc, long be-

souri,, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mis-
sissippi, hundreds and thousands of
women and chilnren fleeing from your
armies and desperadoes, hungry, and
with bleeding feet. In Memphis, Vicks-
burg, and Mississippi, we fed thousands
upon thousands of the families Of rebel
soldiers left on our hands, and whom
we could not see starve. Now, that
war comes home to you, you feel very
different-you deprecate its horrors,
but did not feel them when you sent
car loads of soldiers and ammunition
and moulded shells and shot to carry
war into Kentucky and Tennessee, and
desolate the homes Of hundreds and
thousands of good people, who only
ask to live in peace at their old homes,
and under the government of their in
heritance. But these comparisons are
idle. want peace, and believe it can
only be reached through Union and

you must go, and take with you the
old and feeble; feed and nurse them,,

ces proper habitations to shield them:
against the weather until the mad pas
sions of men cool down and allow the
Union and peace once more to settle
on your old homes at Atlanta. =

The prophesy of the "Little Giant"

how little Of all this do we see in the
great armies employed in the stupen-
dous struggle! So successful is the
President in managing all jealousies

mony, and will vote in body for "Old

About o'clock the Commanding

Commenting on this battle, General
Barnard says, page 48:
"The army was saved in spite of all
Gen. McClellan's ignorance of the posi-
ton of affairs and results of the days
fighting and consequent incapacity to
give intelligent orders"
Speaking of the battle of Malvern
Hill, the next day, Gen. Barnard asks
and answers:
Where this day is the Commanding
General? OFF with Caqt. Rogers to
select the final position Of the army and
its depots. He does not tell US that it
was on a gunboat, and. that this day
not even signals would keep him in
communication with his army, for his
Journey was ten or fifteen miles down
the river, and he was thus absent till
late In the afternoon. This is the first
time. we ever had reason to believe that
the highest and first duty ola General
on the day of battle, was separating
himself from his army to reconnoitre a
place of retreat"
Any candid man who shall read Gen.
eral McClellan's report carefully, will
be thoroughly convinced that the brill
liant battles of the Peninsula were sole
ly the work of the corps commanders,
and but for the interference Of McClel-
Ian as Commander-in-chief, Richmond
would have been taken and the rebel
army destroyed. .raiila3 ~

the flag, the Constitution and the I'm
ion, under all circumstances and under
every Administration, regardless Of
party politics, against all assailants, at
home and abroad. The course of Clay
and Webster towards the Administra-
ton of Jackson, in the days of nullfica-
ton, presents noble and worthy ex-
ample to all true patriots. At the very
moment when that fearful crisis was
precipitated upon the country partisan
strife between Wings and Democrats
was quite as bitter and relentless as
now between Democrats and Republi-
cans. anti ~ 20 N7a Il lnE
The gulf which separated party
leaders in those days was quite as
broad and deep as that which now sep
arates the Democracy from the Repub-
licans. But the moment an enemy
rose in our midst, plotting the dismem-
herment of our. Union and the destruct-
ion of the Government, the. voice of
partisan strife was hushed in patriotic
silence. One of the brightest chapters
in the history of our country viii re-
cord the fact that duaing this eyentful
period the great leaders of the opposi-
ton, sinking the partisan in the patri-
OF, rushed TO the support of the Gov
ernment and became its ablest and
bravest defenders against all assailants
until the conspiracy was crushed and
abandoned, when they resumed their
former positions as party leaders upon
political issues. 3,sai ~
These acts ofpatriotic devotion have
never been deemed evidences of inf
deity or treachery on the part Of Clay
or Webster, to the principles and or
ganization of the old Wing party.
Nor haveI any apprehension that
the firm and unanimous support which
the Democratic leaders and masses are
now giving to the Constitution and I'm
ion will be deemed evidence of in
fidelity to Democratic principles, or
want of loyalty to the organization and
creed of the Democratic party. live
hope to regain and perpetuate the as
cendancy of our party, We should new
er forget that man cannot be true
Democrat unless he is loyal patriot.
With sincere hope that these, my
conscientious convictions, may COIN
eide with those Of my friends, IL ann,
very truly yours, rat nifls acDsr

townsman, Maj. Gen. STEEDMAN,' at
Whites Hall last night. The weather
was SO unpropitious, that large atten-
dance was not anticipated, but thr spa
cious hall was densely packed in every
part, many standing throughout the ex-
ercises, for want of seats. The Union
Silver Band was present with its silvery
Union music.
HORACE s. WALBRIDGE, Esq, Pres
ident of the Lincoln and Johnson Club,
called the assemblage to order and in a
few fitting remarks, introduced Gen.
STEEpafAN, wherenpon, M. II. WAITE,
ESQ.,, in behalf of the Club, welcomed
the guest in highly appropriate and
eloquent address, which was frequently
interrupted by the enthusiastic applause
of the audience. In the course of Mr..
WAITE's remarks, he alluded in feel
ing manner to the early personal asso-
Citations of Gen. STEEDAIAN and himself,
their uniform political antagonisms for
nearly 25 years and until the rebellion
broke down the divisions between the
patriots ofall parties. He then referred
to the prompt and earnest manner in
which Gen. S. took the side Of his coun-
try on the attack of Sumpter, his sue
cessful efforts in raising and organizing
the l4th regiment in less than 10 days
time, his reorganization oft at the end
of the three months service, and the
faithful and brilliant ,areer of that COM
mand and its twin brother, the 3sth,
since that time.
In the course of his remarks, Mr..
WAITE read an editorial article written
by Gen. S. on the l4th and published
on the 10th of April, 1861, in which the
attack on Sumpter was denounced as
treason which must be punished.
AS Mr.. WAITE closed his words of
welcome and with both hands shook
earnestly the hand Of sour Toledo Gen
eral," for and in behalf of the audience,
the cheering and applause were almost
deafening, each one acting as if to do
all'he could to impress upon the guest
the fact that his former friends and
neighbors were gratiied to see him
again, in life and health, and bearing
new and becoming honors.
