Mayor Gunthcr, the popular and cncrget-
ic Chief Magistrate of the city of New
York, in his proclamation for the fast in
that city, says:
''To the Ministers Of the various church
es Oh whom will dcvolvc the duty of open
ing prayer in the presence of their CON
grcgations, and especially those ministers
vino have inculcated the doctrines Of war
and blood, 90 much at variance with the
teachings of their Divine Master, would
humbly recommend that they will, on that
solemn occasion, invoke the mercy of
Heaven to hasten the relief of our suffer

'E'lae END CT one Tyrant.

We find, in an Illinois cOtemporary,
and copy below an account Of the miscra-
bic close of the miserable Gu ecr of one of
the specimen bood-hounds of r. Lincoln 5
pack. 1t may be that it is not magnani-
NOUS to rejoice over the fall of an enemy;
but it must be remembered that the last
four years has not been period favorable
TO the growth or deyclopopmcnt of mag
nanimity, moderation, forgiveness, or any
other Christian virtue; and therefore We
DO not hesitate to confess to feeling Of
intense satisfaction as VIC contemplate the
result. In the language of Cid Nirginias
ancient aid honorable motto, may it hap
pen "Thus Ever to Tyrants:"
For Il year or SO, Camp Douglas, at
Chicago, was guarded by the lst Michi-
gan sharpshooters, Col. De Land. This
De Land was one of the most blatant and
overbcaring abolitionists any where to be
found; was the eager and supple tool of
Burnside in his attempt to suppress the
Chicago Times, after the failure of which
scheme of infamy, he issued an order pro-
hibiting its sale at the camp, and in vari-
Gus other ways demonstrated his con-
tcmptible character, and his unftness for
American citizenship. Not long since he
went to the army now before Petersburg,
and the last heard from him is that court
martial had sentenced him, for gross cow
ardicc in the face Of the enemy, to be
cashicred, to lose all pay and allowances
due him, to have his shoulder straps and
buttons cut off in presence of the troops,
and to be sent to the Dry Tortugas."

at the northwest part OF town, where they
spent some time in military drill, to the
annoyance of quiet, orderly citizens. The
so-called expose by Gen. Darlington of the

by gotten up by Union Leagucrs to cover
up their own Infamous reasonable opera
tons, and scare the weak minded of their
own party in order to prevent them from
going over to the democracy. This crea-
ture of the imagination Of Morton, Car

is about as valuable nag as that of the
celebrated knight, Don Quixote; it serves
a purpose when nothing better can &c had.

The Petersburg Disaster.

The army correspondent of the New
York Tribune, under date of July 3lst,
speaking of the fight on the 30th, says:
Everybody who witnessed the transac-
ton concurs in saying that it was most
miscrably managed; that the rebels had
not onc-filth Of GU force within their
breastworks, and that the rest Of the army
were silent spectators Of the scene OF
slaughter They say that the affair ought
to have been success brightly managed.
The assault, which was intended to have
been surprise, though only partially sue
ccssfull in that respect, could have been
successfully executed but for the blunder-
ing of somebody.
The worst troops III the army led the
assault-troops who heretofore had acted
badly on various occasions.
Our dead and wounded yesterday morn
ing at ten o'clock had not been removed.

The Republican says "there is 10 dan
ger of fraud Icing practiced on the part OF
Union men in the election" and then asks
us if we can ''say rs much for the copper
head party" We suppose he means BY
Union men," abolitionists, and by ''cop-
perheal party" democrats. 1t viii be
news to many Of the small politicians Of
the abolition persuasion to know that The
former system Of carrying elections by
fraud, Is now to be abandoned by them
Does the Republican mean to have It's
readers understand that after the draft,
martial law is to be declared in Indiana.

1t will be seen that even the present gold reve-
