Gen. Seymour was stationed st Charles
ton some two or three years before the war
commenced.7 He, therefore, had many in
Auential acquaintances there, and to Them
he was indebted for generous courtesiee
during his late involuntary stay among
them. He Conversed with them freelv
about the war. He told them the Nortk
would never yield; that the determination
Of tqe people vas 70 wipe ont the rebellion
and save the Union, no matter what sacri-
foes the work should involve. Their chief
hope was based upon political rennfion in
the loyal States, BY which . peace Demo
crat should be elected to succeed Mr.. Lin
coin q President. He told them that event
was not likely 70 occur; but II it did, it
would be the result Of . monstrous decep-
ton PrActiced upon the people, and they
would never submit to such peace as the
South required; thSre would be = general
revolution and chaos first. When the In
telligence came that President Line colin had
made call for s'five hundred thousand
more" they were much depressed, and
manifested unmistakable Indications of
discouragement. We have only got to
press right onward againet the cOherts OF
treason, and spare not, and the rebellion
will inevitably collapse, and that much
sooner than many persons believe.

Al ApreslI fs union sfen,

Ma EDITOR: do not desire to presume
upon the energy and talent of our people,
their patriotism. and respect for our brave
soldier boys but is il possible for any one
to be in too great earnest, and be too desi-
rous that at the coming elections the Union
Party should give its traitorous ad-
versary . most terrible defeat There are
interests involved which at this time are Of
importance far surprising any campaign
ever heretofore inaugurated. Last fall up
on ths election Of Governor the masses
deemed the election of Vallandigham as
ruinous to the State and bapeful in its eff
fects to the General Government; and to
the latest day will be remembere the over
whelmins vote given at home to sustain
our army, while they sacrificed everything
but love Of country, for the field. Still our
soldiers are in the midst of battle, boldly
rushisg the foe back, striking terrible
blows at rebellion, with hearts beating
strong, and firmly set muscle, because they
now see the end Of strife, just ahead with
their adversaries trodden under foot And
what shall we say to them at our election,
They have looked back to us to sustain
them by keeping at bay an insulting foe at
home, enc that would see them in the hour
efvictory yield to the conquered, and in
defeat laughs at their calamity. We can
not afford to be beaten: we must not impose
upon our armies the double task of fighting
rebels in the field, and the necessity oftheir
vstes to beat foe at home. The home
vote must do the work, if we would fill
their hearts with courage, and failing in q
majority st home, they must only realize
that to an almost beaten army, they will be
obliged to yield. We have given our pledge
to stand by them; We have united in our
efforts to have them covered with glory; we
have inspired them with such confidence 10
us, that they gave gone far off into the din
of strife, not doubling our willingness to
stand BY them; and shall We now, in the
hear Of victory, whilst their souls are burst

dowa On them, leave them to the party
which they regard with more hatred thar
