We used justly to proclaim in former
times that ours was the Gland of the free
and the home of the brave" But when
one-half of the country is shrouded in a
despotism which now only finds parallel
IN Russian Poland and when our generals
and soldiers quietly permit that their for.
mer adversaries in arms shall be treated
worse than the Helots of old. brave soldiers
though they may be, who, when the forces
and resources Of both sections were more
equal, have not seldom seen the backs Of
onr best generals, not to speak of such as
Butler and eonsorts, then we may well
question whether the star-spangled banner
still waves over the land of the tree or the
home Of the brave" A noble and brave
soldier never permits his antagonist to be
illuminated and trampled dpon after an
honorable surrender. Besides, notwith'
standing the decision of the; highest legal
tribunal in the land that military commits
sions. are unconstitutional, the earnest and
ahlei protestations of President johnson
land the sad results of military commissions
yet such. military commissions are again
established by recent legislation of Con.
gress all over the suffering and starving

History is just, and, as Mr.. Lincoln used
to say, we cannot escape history. Puri-
tanical hypocrisy, selfadulation, and self
Qualification will not save those enemies OIL
liberty from their just punishment.
Not even Christian burial of the re.
mains of Captain Wirz has been allowed
by Secretary Stanton. They still lie, side
by side, with those lof another and acknowl
edged yictim~of military commissions, the
unfortunate Mrs. Surratt, in the yard of the
former Jail in this city. !.
If anybody should desire to reply to this
| politely beg that it may be done before

SEMI-CESTESHIAL.- The Lutheran
Churches throughout the world are now
celebrating the seventh jubilee or three
hundred and flftieth anniversary of the
Protestant Reformation, in which Mar
tin Luther enacted so appointment a part,
and which has done so much to estnb-
lish and extend the principles of civil
and religious liberty throughout the
world. The General Synod of the
Lutheran Church in America, has set
apart the year commencing Thursday
last, October Slst, as year of special
thanksgiving, prayer and beneTolence,
and names the sum of 100000 as the
minimum amount to be raised as Il
nk-ofleriug. The different Synods,
not iu connection with the General
Synod, have also determined to raise a
like sum. In common with the other
Churches, the English Lutheran Church
of this city will be appropriately deco
rated and special jubilee services held
tomorrow as follows: Congregational
prayer meeting at quarter to 10 O'Clock;
preaching by Rev. Geo. w Goodlin, OF
Canton, Ohio, at lO1$ o'clock, after
which the rite of baptism and confirma-
ton will be administered. Sunday
School monthly concert at . O'Clock.
The communion of the Lords supper ut
81 and Reformation sermon at : p. NJ.
There will also be services at St.
James German Lutheran Church, on
Fourth steeet, tomorrow, in celebra-
ton ofthe 350th anniversary of the Re-
formation, upon which occasion the
Church will be decorated, and also a
new baptismal font of Italian marble
dedicated and used for the first time.
At OK p. M, the Sunday School will
celebrate the anniversary by singing,
DC. Appropriate addresses will be de-
liyered on the occasion.

RuNAwAY.-Yesterday team of
horses attached 10 wagon, took fright
mt a passing train on the baltimore and
Ohio track near the new nail mill. In
the wagon were the driver, woman
and child. The man was thrown out
and somewhat injured, though believed
not to be seriously hurt. The horses,
deprived of.an restraint, dashed up
First street to Chapline, down that TO
Division, up which they turned, and
somewhere on that street, were finally
stopped by some persons whose names
we could not learn. The woman and
child remained in the wagon during its
wild career, and when taken therefrom
were very badly frightened, but not in
jured. The affair created quite an ex-
element in the neighborhood during
the race, as such an occurrence natural
ly would. When it was ascertalued
that the woman and child were mn
hurt, the crowd, which had quickly
gathered around where the wagon
stood, were relieved OF their suspense,
and quietly dispersed.
