perhaps disagreeable, though not difficult,
for Democrats to answer, to wit; Of the tif-
teen States that voted against Mr.. Lincoln
in 1860, which one of their Governors is not
or has not been traitor? Another question:
How many Of those fifteen Democratic &c
States rose in arms against the Government!

General Joe HOOker'S Speech on the War.

The people of WatertoWn Mass, where
"Fighting Joe'' Hooker is making brief So
iourn, celebrated the Atlanta victory on
Monday night. A procession WAS formed,
and marched to the residence ofO. Y. Brain

hero of Lookout Mountain made them

dress - .---.9L 'i'- g.
FELLOW Crr1zKNs-You have come here
to rejoice at the success of the Union arms
in which | am ready to join you heart and
hand. My business is fighting, not speech
making; but let me tell you that the army
of Sherman is invincible, and cannot be dis
heartened. We must treat this rebellion
as wise parent would vicious child-he
must whip him into subsection. No milder
discipline will answer the purpose. Some are
CRYING peace; but there can be no peace az
long as rebel can be found with arms in
his hands. Woe be to those who cry peace
where there is no peace. This.Unio must
be preserved and there is no way OF preserv-
ing it but by the power OF our arms by
fighting the conspiracy to DEATH The re-
bellon is tottering, now while ! speak IT. ID
going down, down, and will soon tumble
into ruin Politicians may talk to you
about the cause of the war, but l say put
down the rebellion and then if you choose,
inquire into the cause of it,
But first put down the insurgents-frst
whip them, and then talk about the cause
of war, if you have nothing else to engage
your attention | believe in treating the re-
beIlion as General jackson treated Indians
whip them first and treat with them after
wards. The Union cannot be divided, let
politicians talk as they may for if divisions
commence, where are you to end2 First the
South would go, then the Pacific States,
then New England, and hear that one no
torious politician has advocated that the
city of New York should secede from the
Empire State. In such case there would
be no end to rebellion. Gentlemen, every
interest you have depends upon the success
of our cause every dollar you possess is at
stake in the preservation of this Union. 1t
will better accord with my feelings to see
the limits of our glorious country extended
rather than circumscribed and we may feel
it national necessity to enlarge our borders
at no distant day. This union, gentleman,
cannot be dissolved, ss long as the army
have guns to fight with. Furnish men and
muskets and the Union is secured.

THE CASTLE OF GHOULS.

was travelling, with my friend, thro
Siesia-visiting the different places of
note.
''YoU are travellers who seek all that
is strange and wonderful go said to us one
day an old, gray-headed man, to whom
we had related some of our adventures.
"Yes, we like to see all that is extra
ordinary, even TO the marvellous"
"You have nerve for anything ?''
at is not for us to boast, beyond saying
that we always have had nerve for what
ever we have encountered"
"You have not mentioned to me the
Castle of Ghouls % SAID the old man,
with sharp look.
I'VE never heard of it till now.
"You should visit 1t then-if you have
the courage"
"Where shall we find it?"

mountains"
"How shall we find it 90

"Well,p said my friend, 81 have nc
fear of anything unear;hiy-because
have no faith in ghosts-but there are
such beings as robbers, and in some Of
these old, deserted castles and towers,
donbt no. they find refuge and play theil
cunning off upon the ignorant and super
stitious." I'd
II believe you, sir; but / believe more
that some Of these places are at time;
tenanted byFbeings from another world. "
My friend and / exchanged glances
with incredul Gus smiles. We finally ter.
minated the conversation by the declara-
tion that we would visit the Castle oi
Ghouls, and the old man made US premise
that we would write to him and give him
an account of our adventures.
1t was just at the dawn of beautiful
summers morning, that we set off, with
a guide, to visit the Castle of Ghouls.-
We had ten miles to ride, over hilly
country, and then about mile 10 toll uF
a steep activity on foot. By ten O'Clock
we saw it high dbOve US. looking as wild
and romantic as heart could wish. Il

''Help! Bentley-help! somebody is

The sound Of a fearful struggles and
another ahoarse laugh from the demon,

sively, I may say instinetively sprung

to manage him and keep him harmless

Daylight came at last. and showed our
demon to be--A RAyINe MANIAC!
Thus we solved the modern mystery Of
the haunted castle-the Castle of Hohen-

How long the madman had lived there,
keeping up his nightly clamor, and how
he had obtained his food, we never ascer-

We kept our promise TO the old man,

our adventures but the conclusion was
doubtless widely different from what he
