at “Slavery is truth, and God a lie ;” But now the nation listens while it rings-- For lo! a song of Freedom upward springs. Thank God for this! We turn again to thee, Great Mother Church, and bow the willing knee Before thine altar. Now the Christ is there, And Liberty beside Him breathes her prayer. Within thy precincts men of holy vow And earnest purpose are assembled now. Thy prayer is Union--gather for the fight, For God, for Country, Liberty, and Right. And first among them boldly Brownson stands His lips are eloquent, his pleading hands Are upward raised, imploring Heaven to aid In sending Treason to its native shade; With scathing words rebukes the tardy will Of nerveless rulers, vacillating still: “O ye whom we have called upon to lead! What! are ye weak in purpose and in deed? “ And dare ye shrink from acting now your part, While all the nation waits with throbbing heart? “ Oh, give us, God, the men of purpose high, And give the people one brave battle-cry-- “ A cry

Joseph Desha, from Harrison county, and three companies from Louisville under Capts. John D. Pope, J. B. Harvey and M. Lapielle, left Louisville for Nashville. They numbered about three hundred men. At Nashville they were joined by two companies from southwest Kentucky under Captains Edward Crossland and Brownson, and proceeded to Harper's Ferry. The companies of Captain Pope, who was a veteran of the Mexican war, and Captain Desha, were formed into a battalion of rifle-sharpshooters under Captain Pope, who was made major. The other companies constituted a battalion under Major Blanton Duncan, of Louisville, who had been active in assisting to raise those from that city. They were assigned to the brigade of General Bartow, of Georgia, who was killed at the battle of Bull Run. Pope's and Duncan'

nto a compliance with their infamous demands. One portion of the agencies used by the clubs is the manufacture of public opinion by means of lectures in favor of their revolutionary views, and instilling them among the generals and subordinate officers of the army, in order to corrupt their minds, and render them disloyal to the government and the constitution. Washington has been specially selected for the purpose, and the Smithsonian Institute is prostituted to the treason. Already Brownson, Channing, Sumner, and Greeley have lectured, and the next, is to be Cheever, then Beecher, Curtis, and Wendell Phillips. Such are the dyed-in-the-wool abolition propagandists who, at the very seat of government, are tainting the army and its officers with their revolutionary ideas. New York money matters. The New York Herald, of the 9th inst., has the following: The upward movements in gold continue; most of the brokers quote it 4 per cent. premium. Exchange is also bette

sted that his body might be interred at Norfolk, by the side of a dear and gallant young companion in arms, A. S. Keiser, who had died some days previous. From Gen. Dix Mrs. T. --obtained a promise that this request should be complied with, on condition that she "would answer for the expenses." On Saturday, accordingly, the following telegraphic dispatch was received: "Mr. J. G. D.--Dear Sir: C. H. Dougherty is dead. If his remains are sent to Norfolk, will the expenses be defrayed? Surgeon Brownson." The answer immediately returned was. "Send the body by the early boat. I will defray all expenses." Accordingly, at 11 o'clock, the gentleman repaired to the boat, and, in answer to his inquiry, the Captain replied very gruffly that he "knew nothing about any dead Confederates. " A second dispatch was then sent, and yet a third--no answer being returned. A note was then received by Mr. G., from the Provost Marshal, which ran thus: "Sir — If the body of C. H. Dougherty is forwarded t

rticles of Greeley in the Tribune, of Beecher and Wendell Phillips in the Independent, and of Dr. Brownson in his Review, and from the plottings of Andrew, Sprague, and the other radical Governors, ited as the author of McClellan's policy of conducting the war. This fact is openly confessed in Brownson's Review, which, in a labored article upon "The Seward Policy," excuses Halleck and McClellan upon the Secretary of State. Of itself alone, the opinion of such a changeable chameleon as Dr. Brownson, who is Everything by turns, and nothing long, is of no importance whatever; but just at present Brownson's Review is the authorized and recognized exponent of the radical abolition party, and the variable Doctor himself is, for the time being, a leading member of that party, and ints of the Review in regard to Mr. Seward, are, therefore, the sentiments of the radicals, and Dr. Brownson expresses the opinion of the radical leaders when he charges Secretary Seward with "weakness

cavalry and skirmishers. At dark we withdrew for reasons stated. "The Chief of Artillery reports that he lost about two hundred and fifty horses. "The enemy made no advance up to a late hour last night, as far as could be seen — holding some of our captured guns with their skirmish lines. They must have suffered heavily. "My own loss, including cavalry, will, perhaps, not exceed twelve or fifteen hundred, though this is surmise. "The command is not yet organized. Captain Brownson, of my staff, was wounded severely during the night. Colonel Walker, Assistant Adjutant General, is missing. "This is acknowledged to have been one of the most desperate and determined fights of the war, resembling Spotsylvania in its character, though the number engaged gives it less importance. "A few more good troops would have given us a victory of considerable importance. "I forward this afternoon prisoners from the field of Wilcox's and Hebb's commands. "Major
