stre; but from an exhibitor of woolly horses and mermaids he has now become the great engineer of the Northern Loyal Leagues and the patent manufacturer of Yankee enthusiasm. In his editorial account of the meeting of the Loyal League at Utica, Greeley thus unconsciously lets the cat out of the bag: "More than one thousand of those in attendance were soldiers, honorably discharged from service on the expiration of their respective terms of enlistment, and now rallying under the flag for fect of the whole should be somewhat marred by the concluding paragraph, in which Leonard W. Jerome, (Barnum, of course,) delicately calls upon an admiring public "to divide and lighten the cost," there by practically ignoring the fact stated by Greeley just above, that the "expense of their transportation had been defrayed by a subscription here." The slight discrepancy between these two apostles of freedom, however, being reducible to a mere question of dollars and cents, which may have gone

negro, the cause of the war! When all the speakers had exhausted themselves, Mr. H. A. Foster put a motion to adjourn, but it was lost. Then Mr. John D Hackett, long known as a prominent Republican, took the stand and said a few words for McClellan, which the soldiers loudly applauded. Mr. Foster attacked the speaker, who, in turn, backed by the soldiers, gave Mr. Foster a dressing, from which Mr. F. was only too glad to escape by declaring an adjournment, which the assemblage did not sanction, and fleeing from the stand. And wish this cowardly retreat did the Loyal League "demonstration" end. It was fitting and characteristic. So will the Loyal League fly, split into fragments, when the people have opportunity of choosing between a genuine loyalty and a bogus, at any election which may be held hereafter. Groans for Greeley, cheers for Seymour and McClellan, boots and groans for the Utica Herald office, were indications of the spirit which this demonstration invoked.

erious disappearance, but without effect. It was urged that she could not have consented to an elopement, because she was devotedly attached to her child. After the lapse of two years, parties traveling on the Continent encountered the supposed murdered woman on the streets of Florence, Italy, one evening, leaning on the arm of Lieut. Wyman, of the U. S. army, and a correspondent of the New York Tribune communicated the fact to that paper. Capt. (now Gen.) Brennan immediately waited upon Greeley, and demanded the name of his correspondent. It was given, and proved to be of so reliable a character that the broken- hearted husband was now satisfied of the perfidy of his wife, and no more was said of the matter. Shortly after Lieut. Wyman and Mrs. Captain Brennan returned to America, and settled down in Massachusetts, where they lived as man and wife until the present war commenced, when Wyman was appointed Colonel of the Sixteenth Massachusetts Regiment. He was the first military

ntain his victories were all gained upon paper. The New York Tribune is preparing to sift the forthcoming report to the bottom. The Herald having asserted that the near prospect of the publication made the radical editors a little nervous, Greeley retorts by giving the Herald the lie direct, declaring at the same time that the publication in question is so exactly the very thing that the aforesaid radicals are desirous of seeing that, while they are doubtful of the propriety of making it Lastly, they want to know why, if he really gained a victory at Sharpsburg, he permitted Lee to retreat at his leisure, and to recruit his forces for the battle of Fredericksburg. Such are the subjects upon which the radical press, according to Greeley, are extremely curious, and upon which they hope to be enlightened by the forthcoming publication. Our own curiosity is of the same character with that of Points with regard to the tales which Falstaff would tell to cover his ignominious fl

r of true, radical Abolitionists who have followed the flag of Garrison and Phillips, and who are entitled to share in the credit of the abolition work and in the glory which now crowns the labor. In this number we include all such old women as Greeley and such young women as Tilton. What these one hundred thousand Abolitionists have accomplished may be stated in a very few words. They have accomplished the present war. They have worked for it thirty years, and here it is. They have wrertunities and their influence. Garrison, for example, should have more than one dead man, four wounded and crippled men, and fifty-six thousand dollars worth of destroyed property set down to his account. Wendell Phillips is in the same case. Greeley has probably caused the death of at least a thousand men, and the remainder of the injury which he has inflicted upon the nation and upon humanity must be increased in proportion.--The same remark will apply to Beecher, Cheever, Tilton, and such

nting medicines being sent to the South; and fourth, for conducting the war in such a manner as to prolong it. In the meantime 15,000 of our brave men, who left comfortable homes and happy families in order to fight, as they supposed, for the Union, are now languishing in Southern prisons, and there they will continue to languish. Why? Simply because the Administration is determined to adhere to its pet measure of making a negro as good as a white man. In order to indulge the whims of Greeley and Sumner on this point, those brave men will be left to languish and die by inches; fretting their lives away day by day, in-hopeless agony at the thought that the sight of home and kindred, and their best loved ones will never again be theirs. But what does it all matter? What right have they to complain? What difference does it make that the hearts of the members of fifteen thousand families are wrung with anguish because their fathers and husbands, and sons and brothers, are thu

Elizabeth Butler, a negro woman, carried away from Alabama by the Yankees, has been tried in St. Louis for vagrancy and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. The Court took the ground that Lincoln's proclamation had made her amenable to the penalties inflicted on the whites. Lo, the poor negro!

Blockade running from New York. The latest arrest in New York on the charge of being engaged in the blockade running business is that of A. M. Palmer, a very prominent Republican, who was recommended for his post in the New York Custom-House by Greeley and others, and was appointed a member of the State Central Committee for his devotion to the nigger. The exposure took place through the detection and arrest of Lewis Benjamin, engaged in the same business. The New York Times, in its report of the arrest. says: The check book of Benjamin was found inside, with marginal references showing that a number of checks had been drawn in favor of A. M. Palmer. Collector Burney's private secretary, from sums varying from $150 to $250 each.

een of them. It will be remembered that Mr. Seward declared in that speech that the people owed it to Mr. Lincoln to re-elect him, so that he could have his rights! One of the Republican Representatives from Illinois advanced the same views in a public address delivered here a few evenings ago. But he put it upon the ground that "Lincoln ought to be allowed to complete the great work of emancipation which he has so well commenced." Let the readers of the Times observe well the language of Greeley mentioned at the close of my last letter. All these men are intimates of the President. They have had his car daily. They are imbued with his views. There is a perfect accord between what they say and what the President intends to do. And in all they say there is nothing about the constitutional obligations of the Federal Government towards the States; nothing about preserving the Union; nothing about winning back the love of the people of the Southern States by securing to them their r

d its proceedings with a set of anti Lincoln resolutions. Wendell Phillips and his Abolition pioneers, after turning and twisting Old Abe in every possible way, give him up in despair as a trimmer, a temporizer, a blunderer, and a bad bargain. Greeley and the New York radical entertain the same ideas; but Greeley desires to shelve Old Abe as quietly as possible, so as not to disturb the peace of the happy family.

But only let Mr. Seward and his good man Friday, Thurlow Weed, try the experiment of a set of Lincoln nominating resolutions in the New York Legislature, and they will see the fur fly. Senator Pomeroy thus speaks with the leading abolition radicals, and with New York at his back, in denouncing the shortcomings of Old Abe, and in pronouncing against him as a candidate for another term. President Lincoln has had some show of strength from various State Legislatures; but while New York and Ohio stand dead against him his footing is insecure. How the States endorsing hi
