the public to be informed that the committee
at once protested in the most earnest manner
against the use of the word murder" and
after several consultations between them and
Mr.. Meyer, the latter was obliged to substitute
for this truthful epithet the milder one Of
"oarnage I" This action on the part of the
committee needs no explanation and but little
comment The members of that august body,
whoever they may be, are very mealy-
mouthed, and desire to be excessively smooth
spoken. For all the world they would not
permit the utterance of a single word at which
the most unregenerated and least reconstructed
Rebel could by any chance or possibility take
ofense. Such delicacy of feeling is, indeed,
rare-such tender regard for the sentiments of
men who on that very field of blood were
guilty of the most stupendous crime of the
century, is, indeed, magnanimous The only
marvel is, that the committee did not objec
in toto to the singing of hymns on the OcCa
sion, lest it should SAVIOR of sacrilege thus to
celebrate one of the most disastrous defeats
which the lost cause" ever sustained.

A Cold and Sinister Speech.

THE speech of President Johnson at the
Antietam celebration yesterday was more re-
markable for what it omitted than for what it
contained. There was no allusion in it to the
cause that lay beneath that great struggle, no
recognition of the fact that the patriot soldiers
who lie underneath the sod there fell in de-
fense of freedom and an imperilled country,
no generous need of gratitude for their sub
lime devotion and immortal valor. All was as
cold and unsympathetic as though traveller
from some distant land were languidly
moralizing over battlefield of which he knew
nothing save that brave men fell con both
Sides" Far other and different was that brief
but immortal speech made by the great
martyr of our cause, Abraham Lincoln, ON
similar occasion, at Gettysburg. That was all
alive with sympathy for the cause of Humanity
and liberty and native land, in defense Of which
our sleeping dead gave up their precious lives.
We do not wonder that our heroic soldiers
hungered to hear something besides these cold
and unsympathetic words of Andrew Johnson,
and that they insisted upon a speech from
Governors Geary and Fenton.

The Difference Between "Carnage''
and 'EMuTdeT.''
AS ALL the world has read this morning,
among the hymns sung yesterday afternoon,
at the dedicatory exercises on the battlefield
of Antietam, was one containing the following
stanZa:-
"Here where the flash and roar
Battle and carnage bore
Over the main,
Soft on your lowly bed,
Rest your fame lRurel'd head,
Our noble patriot dead,
By treason slain"
Both of the hymns sung on the occasion
were composed by the Rev. Edward Meyer, of
this State, who served during the war as
chaplain in the Union army. When the
hymns were first submitted by Mr.. Meyer to
the committee having the matter in charge,
the stanza given above read as follows:-
"Here, where the flash and roar
Battle and murder bore
over the main" etc.
II will doubtless be a matter of surprise to

One Honest Rebel.

Lit will be remembered that the
Congressman elect of the Third Ken
lucky District, Judge HIsE, blowed
his brains out, which made it neces-
sary to hold another election. Mr..
2. III. LESLIE, of Glasgow, announced
himself as candidate, but his alton
ton was called to the iron clad
oath" required of all members of Con-
gress; whereupon this Democratic
aspirant published card to his breth :
rem of the secesh Democracy, in which
he says:
81 have just seen and read the new
oath, enacted and engrafted upon the
Statute Book of the United States in 1862,
to be administered to each member of
Congress before he is allowed to take his
seat. If should be elected 1 should be
required to swear that L never counseled,
encouraged or countenanced any individ-
ual in arms against the United States
This, as conscientious man, 1 cannot do.
L feelthat it is due to my friends to say at
once, cannot be Representative in Con-
gress for the reason aforesaid"
We commend the example of MIR.
LESLIE to the conscientious conside-
ration Of JOHN YOUNG Brown and
Judge TRIMBLE. BROWN, notwith-
standing he has placed himself
squarely on the record, under his own
"sign manual" as a rebel, in every.
impulse of his heart, boosted in the
canvass that he could take the IRON
clad oath;" and TRIMBLE has already
manifested his ability to take the Bit
ter pill. Yet we apprehend that the
Congressional Committee on Elec-
tions will be furnished such evi-
dence as will induce Congress
to institute itself keeper of the
consciences of men, who appear
to be destitute 9of that q COM

Kentucky Loyalty. II,

We published shorttime since the
address of the Hon. SAMUEL MCKEE,
of Kentucky, to his constituents of
the Ninth District, but we find the
following extract going the rounds of
our exchanges, and reproduce it as
echoing the sentiment of large body
of the true Union men Of that State.
Speaking of Kentucky, he says:
She is to-day the most disloyal of all the
States. To-day she is more hostile TO the
national authority than any other State.
To-day she openly and fiagrantly defies the
laws of the nations Congress. If her peo-
pie would set her right. they must go to
work and if they will not do it, then the
nations Congress will do this for them.
She is the only State to-day which the
doctrines contended for by Davis and his
co-labOrers are a success.

General Ruler.

General BUTLER, in letter to the
Boston Taveller, gives the following
explanation of his being bottled
up"
| In May, 1864, when operating against
| Richmond and Petersburg, General Butler
| received orders from General Grant to send
| away all the troops he could with safety
| spare, to reinforce the Army of the Pouo-
/ mac on the Peninsula, then about to fight
/ the battle of Cold Harbor. In obedience
| thereto, General Butler sent General Grant
| 1900 picked men of the 5000 effective
men, including black troops, then under
| General Buffers command. Whereupon,
| General Butter complained that the neces-
! stiles of the Army of the Potomac had
bottled him up in Bermuda Hundred -
That complaint was repeated about his
headquarters, and the very words will
be found to have been published in the
correspondence from thence of the New
York Times of that date.
This may be the correct version of
the case, but it does not dispellthe
general impression that BUFFERS
military career was not brilliant
one As an executive officer he had
no superior in the service, but, aside
from his New Orleans experience. his
record, from Bethel to Bermuda, is
not enviable Whether his legisla-
tive career will resemble more his
martial or his executive and legal Ca
reer remains to be seen. It must be
admitted that from the impeachment
and SURRATT matters, especially the
latter, one is hardly justified in ex-
pecting that he will occupy leading,
although prominent, position in the
Lower House of the Fortieth Con-

THE Nashville correspondent of the
Memphis Bulletin writes very de-
spondingly in regard to the prospects
of the Copperhead- party in the ap-
preaching Tennessee election. In
fact, he abandons all hope of ETHER
IDGE's success, and says the canvass
"i is regarded too one-sided to make it
interesting or important" He further
declares that many of our best Con-
servatives already give up the con-
test as hopeless one; but while they
give up the prospect of success as to
the Governor and Congressman, they
yet believe that by judicious manage
ment majority may be obtained in
the Legislature, and thus secure the
reelection of Senator PATTERSON. !"
