Hon. J. W Forney, In lecture in Odd Eel
lows Hall in Washington, on Monday even
ing. on sLoyal Leagues said:
The League was started TO bond together
loyal men and create an unarmed army of
the friends Of the Union. 1t was not COM
bination of office holders or Office seekers. 1t
had no room for demagogucs. Unlike mason
ary, ii has but one object, the salvation OF the
country. Unlike knownothings,it embraces all
classes ofcitizens on basis as true AS eternal.
A morning Journal had printed The oath with
words OF eensure. But what patriot would re
coil from such a pledge We should renew.
our iealty as we make our prayers daily, for our
country is next to our God. We daily humble
ourselves before Him not for His good. but
our own. We recognize our dependence upon
Him. and we should gratefully acknowledge
our obligations to our country. He would
take thousand oaths, If need be 10 flrih-
er that c0untrys cause. The oath was ne-
ressafy. IN washington, men were ieagued
TO aid traitors, and the most hidious feature
OF this rebellion was its disregard of solemn
obligations. 1t was proper for loyal
men TO protect themselves against the mac
hinations OF traitors. The League started in
December, 1862, in Philadelphia, and operated
with electric effect on its subordinates. The
social influence OF slavery was severely felt in
Philadelphia. Baltimore and Washington, in
the creation ofan exclusive aristocracy. whose
saloon were the Rendezvous Of the foes OF the
Government. This evoked q counter spirit
defiant and loyal exacting. Its place of
meeting was at first rather a place oil
refuge than resort, but now the PHILADELPHIA
League numbers q thousand gentlemen, and
has its handsomely furnished rooms In centra
position on Chestnut street.

There Is much more complaint to the same
effect and ma ~ striking instances are given /
this shocking hesrilessness. Besides this the
priests Of the church are charged with bare
faced deception. The Valparaiso paper learns
from its correspondent at Santiago that .they
actually had letter-box ia (which letters
could be left for the Virgin and answers re-
ceiyed." These charges together with the aw-
fnl loss of life OF which the church was
the scene causes such excitement that the
people oiSantiago demanded ofthe government
the demolition of the remains OF the church.
The Patria says
'ft may be safely stated that no one even
has ever occurred in Chill, which has dealt so
heavy a blow to the priests as this dire and
unutterable calamity. Never has the press
spoken OF them as now. Their imprudence
in getting up such pageants which are freely
styled idolatrous, their failure to aid in rescu-
ing the victims, their deception Of the devot-
ees with the letter-box of Mary and its pre-
tended answers, have all placed them in a
most unenyiable position.
They protest against the appropriation of
the site TO any use excepta church, they allege
that many of the charges against them are
calumnious, and they stigmatizc their oppo-
nents as impious; but certainly their prestige
has sustained staggering blow, from which it
is doubtful ii II soon recover"
The following letter by the Minister of the
United States is published -
SANTIAGO, Chill, Dec II, 1863.

-Afairs Of the Republic Of Chilli
SIR have the honor to address myself
to your Excellency, to express, on behalf of
the American citizens resident in Chill, and on
my own, our profound and earnest sympathy
In lhe terrible misfortune which, upon Ties
day last, beiel this city, bringing desolation
aud grief into so many families, and mourning
into the hearts Of the entire community.
THE government and people whom rep
resent will be stricken with the deepest sor-
row. when the sad intelligence reaches them.
"a calamity so appalling and horrible has
no parallel in the worlds history. May He
who ''tempers the wind TO the shorn lamb in
mercy console the bereaved and afflicted and
may this awful dispensation Of His providence
ever remind US of the uncertainty Of life, and
the necessity of constant preparation to obey
