FELLOW CITIZENS: :

It has been stated to you by Mr.. Lee
dom at the close of his remarks in the
court room above, that he would be fol-
lowed by one better prepared to address
you. must therefore say, that I am
here without preparation, and to mo it is
sudden and unexpected thing that I
now stand before you I must also say
that Z am quite unused to speaking in
the open air, and I may readily make a
mistake III the pitch Of my voice, and SO
Iah to be heard, OF in the effort to be
distinct, I may destroy my power Of ut
terahce before ain through.
I have, however, spoken once before
from this very place, at the beginning of
the War and it was then my impulse, as
well as my duty, to incite you to sustain
the call for men. It had then been pro
nounced by the lawful authority vested
with the power of deciding it, that an
insurrection had broken out, and it was
the duty Of the United States to suppress
it. As an attorney and counsellor at
law. sworn before more than one court,
20 support the Constitution of the United
States, had 40 choice. That Constitu-
ton requires the suppression Of insurrec-
ton; and it points out the mode of doing
it, and that is BY military force. It is
provided that Congress shall have power
to provide for calling forth the militia,
to suppress insurrection. 1t was not a
question whether the Insurrection was
justifable; it was enough to know that
it existed: and when called upon by the
President Of the United States, it became
the duty Of every man in the country to
give the call support.
At the beginning of this insurrection,
its suppression was thought to be job
of but a few weeks. Your President
when he called for $4,000 men, declared
by this, that it was a momentary thing.
Your Secretary Of State announced to all
the Governments Of Europe that the war
would be Of but few months duration.
Your Secretary Of the Treasury declared
to the same effect when he advised Con-
gregs that it was to endure but a short
time, and that it would not be necessary
to lay taxes upon the people, bat the
charge might be met with borrowed mo-
nev. From that time to this; we have
been IlaBoring under this terrible mis-
take. Even during the last session Of
Congress, it became matter of popular
agitation to raise a million of men for
ninety days to 90 and take Richmond, as
if It were mere moonlight work, and
that achievement certain to end the war.
There was bat one man who saw the
Rebellion IN IT'S true proportions, and
that man was GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN.
Within seven days after he was placed in
command Of the army, he proposed a
force of 2730O0 men, which was then
deemed eztravagant-and he submitted
to the President that We must end the

WISH I were a bachelor,
No wife TO curb my ways,
No nest of little curly heads
To blast my quiet days.
OIL then I could BE- out Of nights
Among the girls TN two;
And sleep next day till ten o'clock
Without lecture blue.
Could throw my boots just where pleased
And in my cosy room
Ny things could lay at fingers end,
Untouched by brush or broom;
Ny books and papers all would be
Upon my table strewn;
Then I eonld puff my pipe in peace,
And take my nap at noon.
But now / must be in at nihe,
Be broken Of my rest,
That dearest Maggie may recline
Uponny faithful breast;
And at the earliest peep Of dawn;
She to the window Eies,
And opens wide the crealiing blinds
Upon my sleepy eyes:
And now farewell my cherished pipe,
Cigars must dismiss;
For Maggie says tobacco lips
Aren't ft for wives to kissl
Ny boots must h&ve a special niche;
Ny things are all mislaid-
wish I was bachelor,
And she was an old maid.
The halcyon days of youth are gone,
The glorious days Of youth are gonej
And single blessedness has flown,
To smile on me no more.
The romance Of a welded life
Has vanished from MY eyes
And fades tte dream Of carly love
Like deWs Of Paradise.
But in their place the noblef forins
OF worth and beauty stand,
And woman leads me heaveuwardj
With soft, caressing hand.
Ali what can nerte the arm like her
Who thEs my life las blessed;
Who, when the storms Of sorrow come,
Still folds me to her breast!

CVRREs EsPONDENCE.
FoR THE COLUMBIA DEneop


goshen, IND, Sep. IA, 1864.
Col. TATE, Dear Sir -
Permit me, through the columns Of your
excellent journal, to speak few words
in regard to the manner in which our
would-be ministers of the Gospel, but
messengers of Satan, conduct themselves
in this part of our once happy, but now
distracted, country.
On Sunday eve last, I proceeded to the
Methodist Church, hoping to bear the
word Of God expounded ac cording to his
laws laid down iu the Holy Bible. But
instead of that, to the utter shamed dis
grace of the Christian community, we were
presented by the would-be minister, but
in truth poltical'negro head with stump
speech, too offensive to be uttered in the
house of God, and what was still more
outrageous, on the Sabbath, which should
be devoted to the praise Of God, and not
to political affairs. After discussing the
manner in which our armies had been con-
Quoted, their progress, &C., and giving as
nigh, be expected of these negro.lovipg
ministers, hint TO Copperheads, he end
ed by reading and asking the choir to
sing National Song, but what ho called
hymn.
. Such, Mr.. Editor, was the manner in
which the word Of God was presented TO
us. The congregation was Mortified to
think that this church should be devoted
to political stand, instead of o place
where the lovers of God might assemble
and praise Him according to divine truth.
What the name of common sense will our
Christian Community come to if we let in
power Abolition minions instead of just
men for our rulers White mems rights
have been imposed upon, and these polit-
cal fends and Despotic Tyrants 60 so far
as to trpmple on the church and turn it
into political stand, 1t is time that
something should be done 10 save our
country ircm ruin and nothing short of the
election of GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN, can
save our country from eternal destruction.
The people of Elkhart county, as woll as
adjoining ones, have had their eyes OPEN
ed oflate and they are going to rush to the
ballot-bo this fall with determination
that abraham Lincoln shall be their ruler
no longer. Let the people in every State
do SO, and Satan, who has been loose for
nearly four years, will be chained again,
Yours truly,
| WILLIAM

THE WAR.

The Oonfederates captured twenty. five
hundred head Of cattle from Gen. Grant 8
army on Friday last. The cattle were
grazing at Coggin's Point, on the south
side of the James, eight miles below City
Point. They were guarded by detach-
ment of Kautz's cavalry. The Confeder-
atcs, about five thousand strong, attacked
the Federal camp at daylight on Friday
morning, and surrounded the herd, cap
turing nearly all the cattle guards. There
was scarcely resistance made. In ad-
dition to the beeves, they seized one thous-
and prisoners and several wagons, with
their teams of mules, They then marched
southeast towards point on the Weldon
Railroad, seven miles below Reams' Sta
ton. In various places on their march
they captured Federal pickets. A large
force sent down the Jerusalem road tc
intercept them, arrived too late. Thoy
had crossed before the tardy pursuert
reached the grouad; Without being at
iacked, the Conlederates crossed the Wei
don Railroad and placed the heard il
safety within their own lines. The booty
they got was worth half million of dol
lars.
