Abraham Lincoln (search for this): article 1
"Running the Churches." In a late epistle of Lincoln upon ecclesiastical matters, he states that he is not capable of "running the Churches," and that he does not intend to take charge of any Church on any side. What the creature means by "running the Churches," we were at a loss for some time to comprehend. His letter is a reply to a petition from St. Louis, requesting that a certain clergyman of that city be reinstated in his pulpit. The rail-splitter demises to do it, and says h slang of his own which is almost as difficult of comprehension as the dialect of the London thieves. What a creature for a President ! If a romance should represent the Chief Magistrate of a great country delivering himself in the style of Abraham Lincoln, it would be condemned as violating all the laws of probability and nature. But in this instance, as in many others, truth is stranger than fiction. Nevertheless, we think we understand the policy which is indicated in this letter decl

a great country delivering himself in the style of Abraham Lincoln, it would be condemned as violating all the laws of probability and nature. But in this instance, as in many others, truth is stranger than fiction. Nevertheless, we think we understand the policy which is indicated in this letter declining to reinstate the St. Louis clergymen. The Confederate clergy are to be turned out of their pulpits, as in Norfolk and Portsmouth and, perhaps, set to work in the streets, like Rev. Mr. Wingfield, with a ball and chain, and when the President is petitioned to restore them to their sacred offices he vulgarly and cunningly replies that he can't "undertake to run the churches." He runs the Southern clergy out, and runs Abolitionists in, but he can't take charge of any church on any side. His subterfuge is as vile as his language is vulgar. Need any man wonder at the brutalities of his underlings, when the prince of all blackguards sits in the Presidential chair of the United Sta

" He means that he will not undertake to regulate and govern them; that he will not add the office of Bishop to that of President, that he will not wear a cassock over his coat of mail; that he will not wear the livery of Heaven while be is engaged in the work of Hell, and be canonized upon the calendar as the Right Reverend David Abe If he don't mean this, we are at a loss to know what he does mean. The United States ought to organize a bureau for the interpretation of Abraham's vernacular.

remarks he said he was as good a Union man as any one who occupied a seat on the floor of the Senate. During the debate a warm controversy ensued between Messrs Fiery and Briscoe, in which the latter was denounced as a "traitor in heart and in action." Mr. Fiery said he could prove him to be so from his record. It was only owing to the clemency of the General Government that he was not now excluding his crimes in Fort Lafayette, where that cabal of traitors which had met in Frederick in 1861--Teakle Wallis, Parkin Scott, and others — had been confined. When the Union is restored, his record would prove damning, and his condemnation be written in letters of fire, and his children would blush for the action of their father. Mr. Brisooe said he did not desire any acrimonious discussion on this or any other subject. The Senator from Washington had stated that he had no right to discuss the re solution as he did, and he rose to claim his right. He did not believe the Sen

A very interesting debate took place in the Yankee Senate upon the passage of the bill creating the office of Lieutenant General which has since been filed by the appointment of Gen. Grant. All such discussions are interesting in this country, and this one particularly so: Mr. Grimes was convinced that the best interests of the country required that the bill should not pass. Gen. Scott had remained in the army many years, distinguishing himself in the war of 1812-14, and all along down to 1846, when he led our armies victoriously through Mexico to the halls of the Montezuma, and yet the office of Lieutenant General was not directly conferred upon him, but only by brevet. This office is designed to be of an advisory character, but Gen. Grant is a man of action, and would desire to be leading armies in the field. The passage of the resolution, he thought, would inure Gen. Grant's influence in the army, and since its passage in the House the General ha

The public has been dissatisfied alternately with its different com manders — with McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, and Meade — but its not having conflicts success was was not the fault of General Halleck. When McClellan had conducted that uncesseful campaign up to Williamsburg, and designed that 60,000 men should be marched from here toMcClellan had conducted that uncesseful campaign up to Williamsburg, and designed that 60,000 men should be marched from here to form a junction with him, and close in Lee's army, leaving 90,000 here to defend Washington from any possible attack-- which he did not believe there was at all any possible danger of-- it was not General Halleck that prevented the movement. With regard to the battles at Gettysburg, which are admitted to have been the best fought by military men, and which ware of the highest credit to Gen. Meade, it is believed to have been a great mistake that he did not then pursue the enemy. Had that bee
