The Tribune and the Know NOTHING
Press of St. Paul were much affected by
A beautiful example of Christian patriotism
has been given by Catholic priest in Detroit
The pious and beloved pastor of st. Patrick's
Chapel, on Adelaide street, Father james Hen
messy, was drafted in the drawing for the Sixth
Ward. His many friends at once gathered
around him, and preparations were made
to furnish him with q substitute. Father Hen
messy said, mo, l cannot permit this. My
country has called upon me for personal SER
vice, and will have no other man for me- I
will take my own place in the army" We
know nothing grander in the history OF the
draft than this patriotic conduct. The deter
mination of the conscientious and patriotic
priest is fixed. Members of his congregation
have in vain offered to 20 to the field for him.
But his fine sense of duty to his country and
to the law, will not permit him to serve his
country by substitution
Unluckily, the following note from
Father HENNEssY himself, which we take
from the Detroit Free Press, follows only
too closely upon the above glowing re-
cital:
To tie Editor of the Detroit Free Press:
You will oblige me inexpressibly by contra
dieting emphatically the statement of the Tr;-
buae and Advertiser of this evening regarding
my determination to 90 into the ranks Of
the army.
Such determination would degrade me- ne
an ecclesiastic, and at the same time be an nm
worthy approval of the present military ava.
tenn that sacriligiously drags the priest from
the altar and the duties of the Christian church
The tlattery with which the proclamation of
my military determination" is clothed cannot
be noticed. More anon.

officers Dissent from their commands on de-

their duty to keep themselves fully advised
az to the dates at which their commands
go out of service, 80 that they may be mus
tered out and discharged Herewith. (See cir

What the Rebels Say.

The following extracts from leading Sc
oession journals attest the unity of plan
and persistency of purpose Which connect
the conjoint efforts Of the abolitionists and
secessionists il 1850 with their concurrent
wishes in 1864:
From the Richmond Sentinel.
II we could command million of votes.
Abraham Lincoln should receive them all.
From the Richmond Examiner.
Abraham has been good emperor for ma.
he has served his turn his policy has settled
established and made irrevocable the separa-
ton of tho old Union into nations essentially
foreign, and We may be almost sorry to part
with him.
From the Richmond Enquirer.
To be plain, we fear and distrust far moro
these apparently friendly advances OF the Dem
ocrats than the open atrOcity Of philanthropists
of Massachusetts,. The Democratic party
always was our wont enemy; and but for ia
poisonous embrace, these States would have
been clear Of the unnatural Union twenty
years ago. 81 VOL. 90
From the Mobile Register.
Tho Democratic party 70 not In power now
and we may thank God for it -r!.e.g
From the Richmond RaQuires, Sept. y.
Thanks be to God, who blinded our adver-
sary and led him to exchange wise policy Of
federation, which might have cost Us dearly.
for q mad and frantic tyranny, which changes
the lnkewarm friend into an ardent patriot,
and converts even the Union-loving loyalist
into warm SoutherneY.l We are not the first
people whose Incidence and ready acquiescence
had to be burnt out With fire; we also had to
learn that suffering Is sign Of life, nav. often
one Of Its essential conditions.

Sherman's Opinion Of American Pol.
files.

Gen. Sherman is bothered great deal
by Abolitionists-the New England fanat-
les and towards are in search Of niggers
to fight in their places, and Office holders
and shoddyites from all quarters looking
for votes for Lincoln. Sherman has al
ready squelched the New England class.
and it would seem from the following dis
patch that he has just administered dose
to the others:
CINCINNATI, September 20. 1864
1t Is stated that General Sherman has writ
ten letter to o well known gentleman of In
dianapolis declining to permit the Indiana
troops in his command to come home to Indi-
ana to vote at the coming election The Gen.
eral comments severely upon the course of cer-
tain parties to inveigle the army into the polit-
ical arena. and declines to give it any counte-
nance whatever. His letter, If published,
would be severe blow to the party in power.
Why don't the Lincolnites bring out
Sherman's letter. Let the people see it.
We know what Sherman thinks of the me-
gro. We would now like to see his opin-
ion of the radical politicians Of Indiana.
Out with the letter.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1864-10-21
An Example or Two.

We recommend the loving to the
Press for general put lication, as SAM
pie of how "the South are supporting
MCCLELLAN" The Mobile Register of the
10Th ult. has the following on this subject
Gen. Mcclellan Is totally unfit for and une.
quail to the representative position he occupies,
and we believe he has by that single letter
broken down the hopes and plans of the great
and promising party which was weak enough
to choose him for its standard bearer. We GER
tainly hope so. Lincoln is far better for us than
Mcclellan, and an open and consistent though
bitter and cruel enemy, is rather to be desired
than false or hypocritical friend or enemy.
So far as their purposes and ultimate results
affect the South there is nothing to choose be.
tween them. Both are bent on subduing US to
their will and depriving US of our indepen.
dence. The one would whip us for the pur-
pose Of stealing our property and gratifying
his vengeance and the other would whip us to
inspire our hearts with love for the Union and
force US to consent to n re-alliance with our
dear brethren" of the North. Both seek
to ravish from us that, without which prop
erty and life itself would be valueless:
our Independence, our right to govern
ourselves, and to hold up our heads like men,
and say we acknowledge no masters on earth,
much less Yankee masters. Indeed, in one re-
spcct, Lincoln is more merclful in his terms
than Mcclellan. The latter will cease to make
war on any State and restore it to the Union
when it lays down its arms and chooses to re-
