Early has issued an address to his army.
He thus tells them why they are in the
haBa of being thrashed
aHad you remained steadfast to your
duty and your colors, the victory would
have been one of the most decisive of the
war you would have gloriously retrieved
the reverses at Winchester and Fishers
Hill, and entitled yourself to the admira-
ton and gratitude of your country. But
many of You, including commissioned officers,
gieiding TO diSgTacefUL propensity for
PLundeT, deserted yotr coLorS to appropriate
to yourselves the abandoned property of
the enemy, and subsequently those who
bad previously remained at their posts,
seeing their ranks thinned by The absence
of the plunderers, when the enemy,
late in the afternoon, with his shattered
columns, made but a feeble effort
TO retrieve the fortunes of the day yielded
to needless panic and fed from the field
in confusion, thereby converting a splendid
victory into a disaster. Had any respect
able number of you listened to the appeals
made to You and made stand even at the
last moment, the disaster l1ould haze been
auerted and the substantial fruits of vic

of being fanked and a panie-stricken ter

stify millions. By the recent vote of
the people of the State, Maryland is now
with her FREQ sister states of the North.
Her interests and her sympathies no long

become identified in the free North.
Hail MARYLAND, first among the free.

The character of this modern Democracy
is very welEexhibited in the revolutionary
appeals of their leading newspapers and
speakers. They talk as if they were pre-
pared for another rebellion in case they
were defeated in tn coming election. They
declare that if they were unsuccessful, it
must be by fraud, and that revolution will
be justihable in case they do not succeed.
An overwhelming defeat On the 8th of
November will silence the snakes.

Friday last in the confession of J. ]. BIlig-
ham, editor of the Indianapolis State
Sentinel. All that has ever been charged
against the conspiracy is fully established
by his testimony. Mr.. Bingham was not
made aware of the purposes of the rsVolu-
tionists until several months after he hid
been initiated. Bis testimony shows that
ii was the intention of aThe Sons of lib

people of the Northwest; to release the
prisoners at Camps Chase, Morton, Dong
las and on Johnson's Island; and to unite
with them in the slaughter of Union citl-
zens and the transfer of the West into the
hands of JEFF. Davis. Governor Morton
was to have been sssassinated and rebellion
begun in the North. And yet this Bihg-
ham, who now exposes the whole conspira-
cy, denied the existence of such an organi-
zation during the recent election. The
very men who it is proved were at the
head of it have denied publicly. and Pri-
vately that they were in any way oonnPct-

as lies. The testimony of this DemoerAtic
editor is conclusive, and shows what has

parties was not able to pay counsel fees, and
undertook to plead his own cause. But he

A CorrERnEAD PEAcR.-The peace they
mean is not the peace we mean; they want
separation md independence ifthcy can get it,
or if they cannot get it, mere nominal union
like the old Confederation, which fell to pieces
of itself, or the present rickoty aud staggering
Confederacy; but we want real Union, such
us our fathers and tho progress Of events have
inade--a living organized nation--a repnblic
of republics, whose bonds shall be as firm as
the ligaments of thc human body, md whose
operations rs harmonious and lasting as those
OF the solar system. The political leaders of
the South will nevor consent to abandon their
desperate position until wo destroy the armies
by which they maintain It. or until their own
people, in the extremity Of their snfferings,
drive them out OF it. They have nothing to
hope from peace or restoration OF the Union
hut everlasting contempt ut home and abroad.
They will therefore, fight on Us long rs thcy
can, and our best negotiators for the present
aro Sherman's marches and Grants DEATH
grips. These must soon bring tho moro ra.
tional parts OF the Southern people to rellec
ton. when we shall have proposals to which
tho North may honorably listen. and when,
too. we may return answer that will show Us
rs nagnanimous in concession as we have
been energetic in combat.

Tho effect ofa stirring songor tune is often

this character called "Thc Battle Cry Of Free

II Is evident from its effect that II is ono Oh
the few songs not written ITO order, but writ

The great number Of thrilling circumstances
under which this song has been sung In the
