The Richmond Dispatch has faculty of foam
ing at the mouth. 1t has, indeed, become an
accomplishment of the rebels press generally as
the hour of their doom draws nigh. Listen to
its rawlings about the Amnesty:
Is it not evident upon the mere statement of
the case that Lincolns amnesty was never ex-
pected or designed by himself to have any other
effect than irritation and insult to the Southern
peoplel No one, however, knows better than
Abraham Lincoln, that any terms he might Off
er the Southern people which contemplate their
restoration to his bloody and brutal Govern
ment, would be rejected with scorn and execra-
ton. If, instead of devOting to death our Pres
ident and military and civil officers he had pro-
posed to make JEFF. DdUis his successor, Lee his
Commander IN Chiefof the Yankee armies, and
our domestic Institutions NOT ORlf recognized at
home bl,t re-ddeBted iR the Free States, prouided
the South l1Oult once more enter into the Yankee
Union, there IS not man. lCOnadR or cbildiR the
C0ntederdcy t1hO l0O1Id not spit upon ae pr0psi-
ton. We desire no companionshiP upon any
terms with nation of ROBBERS and murderers.-
The miscreants whose atrocities In this war
have caused the whole civilized world to shud-
der, must keep henceforth their distance They
shall not be our masters. and we would not have
them for our slaves

From the Philadelphia North American.

The Union State Convention, which was con-
vened yesterday at Providence, has carried out
the spirit of the great gathering which was held
in that State short time since. The conven-
tion chose delegates to the National Union Con-
ventiOn at Baltimore, and instructed that dele
cation to support Mr.. Lincoln. So far as that
State is concerned, therefore, his denomination
is as sure as his reelection when nominated;
and the indications are that we could employ no
stronger Simile of certainty.
As we have before remarked, the current is
now in one direction, and increases with its
progress All fears Of rupture in the ranks of
the Union party are passed. There is no con-
siderable strength of opposition, and what there
is is steadily weakened. 1t is seen that unity
of action and concert of feeling are requisite to
support the cause of the nation in this gigantic
struggle. So fast as this fact is recognized, mi
nor differences are forgotten, and an auspicious
harmony replaces them. We need to avoid
those excessive partisan disputes which have
characterized other times. We need to show a
perfect accord with and thorough confidence in
the general Government; not more for the pur-
pose of cODquering a domestic peace than of
preserving ourselves from foreign trouble 1t is
in the highest degree important, and it is, there
fore, gratifying that every day brings new tes-
timony of the public assent of this fact

Mcclellan and the Army.
The following is an extract from the private

letter OF an otlicer IN the army:
WASHINGTON, March 18th, 1864
=. When joined the army, year and half
ago, shortly after the retirement of Mcclellan,
found thatwhile Mcclellan had OppOsers among
both officers and men, the vast majority were
for some reason or Other-certainly not
count of his uceesses-strongly for Mcclellan.
But assure you the change that has since Ia
ken place has been almost universal; Mcclellan
has lost spOpularIty. / now rarely meet with
one who uphOlds him or who would vote for
HIM if nominated. / can account for this
change only in two ways: First, many men are
carried away with show, others run with the
majority. The American people took for grant
ed, without waiting for actual proof, that Nc
Clellan wasa second Napoleon, and IT was diff
fieult to disabuse them of the idea. The men in
the Army of the Potomac read the the papers
and believed what they said. Moreover Nc
Clellan was continually having reviews, parades
and military exhibitions all of which tended to
impress the minds of his followers. Now all
this artificial excitement has gone. The hero
has disappeared, public opinion has changed,
and, as was natural, the army has changed with
it. Were Mcclellan TO return, possibly he
might regain his former popularity-but think
not Secondly, the union of Mcclellan with
the politicians. The letter he wrote during the
Pennsylvania campaign in support Ofthe Dem
Ocrate candidate Woodwork, and against the
Administration, damaged him immensely
You have no idea what an excitement the mat
ter created.
MeClellan's popularity, already on the wane,
was ruined ntirely by this open alliance with
the enemies of the government. People may
say what they please, but the army believes in
Abraham LincOln and when nominated he will
carry its votes. Mcclellan never was popular
out West. The western army, much larger
than ours, will vote against our Report in
solid body, and the Army of the Potomac near
ly So What I think of Mcclellan, and have
always thought ofhim since his disastrous fail
ures on the Peninsula, you well know; but
what have stated as to his popularity in the
Army Of the Potomac is strictly true. If you
were here you would see the change yourself. -

The Union nIen of nII-si--ippI.

The Boston Journal has the following letter
from New Orleans giving an interesting ac-
count of the Union sentiment in Mississippi:
% j had the pleasure this afternoon of meeting.
at headquarters Union scout who had iust
returned from trip through Hancock, Marion,
Perry, Jones, and Jasper counties, Mississippi.
He had been absent month, and as the fruit of
his visits to those counties he had recruited one
hundred and fifteenlmen for a Union regiment
forming in this city. He also brought away sew
eral women and children. From him / gather
the following information concerning the locality
which he visited. He states that the Union SEN
timent now predOminates, and that the Union
men have things their own way, completely
turning the tables upon their enemies. Instead
of being driven to to the swamps and other hid
ing places for shelter, they have driven the Sc
eessOnists to those places to preserve their lives
They had declared a war of determination and
hunted down the rebels and shot them where
ever found. This man is native of Mississippi.
and well acquainted throughout the region
through which he passed. He states that so re-
lentless has been this civil strife that most if
not quite all of h old men of his acquaintance
are in their graves, shot in their very homes
He was for several days within sound of Sher-
mans rifles, and saw him when on his advance
and retreat. He states that on his retreat he
took with him an immense amount of sup
plies captured from the enemy, besides large
numbers of negroes. Cotton and provisions
were plenty, but as both parties were destroy
ing all they could belonging to the other, the
prospect was that there would soon be search
ty. Guerrillas were prOwling about the eoun-
try protesting to burn the cotton, but in reality
getting possession of it and forwarding it to
New Orleans, where it is sold for their benefit. I"

NEW YORK TO BE BURNED.


The Richmond Vhig discussing various
plans for annoying the Yankees, suggests that it
would be good thing to burn their principal
cities Was malice ever more desperate or
more impotent than that of these beaten reb-
els? Nothing seems be left of their snaky na-
ture but the hiss.
I'VE may not, it is true, be able to send
raiding party to dash into Philadelphia or New
York to do the work; nor have we artillery that
will carry Greek fire far enough to reach them
but we have that which will go further than
horsemen can ride, and will penetrate what the
mightiest artillery would make no impression
on-we have money 4 million of dollars 1could
ldy ia ashes Neg York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Pittsb,gg Washington and all their chief
cites and the men to do the business mag be pick
ed ND bg the hundreds the streets of those Uery
cities. Ifit should be thought unsafe to
them, there are daring men in Canada, of Nor
gan's and other commands, who have escaped
from Yankee dungeons, and who would rejoice
IAN opportunity of doing something that would
make all Yankeedom howl with anguish and
CONSERVATION.
" That what we are saying may be given
still more practical turn, we Will add that we
know and have talked with a mana well
known officer in the army, and every way COM
| petent and ht-whO is ready and anxious at
once to proceed to Canada this business
the risks he will encounter but he is sure of the
results that viii be achieved.
I'VE have addressed ourselves to the authori-
ties of the government, because We feel not
shadow of doubt that this mode of warfare
would, under the circumstances, be justiiable
legitimate and right But should they reject
the plan, as we suppose they would, then we
wish to remind The public that he scheme can as
'ceR be erected6yP PTirGte enterprise as by The d.
rectiOn or confidence Of the authorities. Rich
mOnd, for whom such fate was designed,
Charleston every day witnessing the disposition
of the enemy in this regard, and hourly expert
encing the hazard of having their purposes
achieved, could easily raise the money needed
for the accomplishment of the design. Money
will supply the men, and they, properly Agan-
lied and directed, would easily and certainly do
the work.

SJNSET REVERIES.

Long dim the shadows dark eastward stretch then

A soothing sense of rest this Vesper time,
Whilequet regns supreme, when the distant chime
Borne the days last BREATH falls gently on the ear,
Or songste Westward bound MARBLES lone and clear
The sparrows vesper-hymn, his thanks unto his Cod
That not unoticed he shall fall upon the sod.
The suns departing rays gild mountain top and Spires
They glow with ardent spendor In his golden fire
genial farewell smile lac grants to cloud and earth,
TILL in the Orient sky, he'll giye the morrow birth"
Then is to set what must be said wrought:
Morning throwsus with the worldnghts the time for

When evening shades draw nigh open mem'rys book
Tho scared the page with tears yet longing look
The horizons dusky line now obscnres the sun;
This days record he has sealed neer to be undone:
He who just filled with glory this days Heeting hours
Has gone to other cmes, TO tint the fruits lowers
Thus when the sun ofjOy shines our life,
Let us not make, with Fate, an irreverent strife,
Nor ofour lot complain, in in wrath,
But hope its gone to light fellow-beings path.

Senator Wiley, of West Virginia, made a care
fully consided and powerful speech for freedom
last Wednesday, and declared himself in favor
of the prohibition Of lSlaceTy by Constitutional
amendment, and of immediate and general rather
than gradual emancipation. He was proud OF
having become an abolitionist, and by numerous
lcomparisons proved the superiority of free over
| slave institutions He said that if he were con-
vineed that Slavery had the sanction of Divine
Power. he would, following the example of the
lpatriarchs of old, curse God and then die Mr..
