if they can get rid of it. They want the Union of Abolitionism; and if they cannot get such a Union they will have none, but will forthwith acknowledge the Southern Confederacy. Such is the significance of Senator Henderson's speech. It means nothing more nor less than this. Let the lovers of the Union ponder the development. It is but one amongst a thousand, all pointing to the same issue. The Red river expedition — further particulars. A letter, dated at Grand Score, on the 14th inst., from a private in the Chicago Mercantile Battery, to the Chicago Times, giving an account of the part taken by that battery in the battle, confirms the dispatch in regard to the disaster to a portion of the Yankee forces comprising the Red river expedition. The letter says: Of our whole division, numbering three thousand men, but one thousand are left to tell the fearful odds against which they contended. Two regiments of the division were consolidated, and had in all fourteen hun

d whipped the rebels badly. Twelve pieces of cannon were recaptured and eight hundred prisoners taken. A letter from another private in the same battery says: Our corps (the 13th) was all cut to pieces, and we fell back to this place, Grand Ecore, five or six miles from the battle field, to organize. We lost twenty four pieces of artillery, all that were in the fight. This letter also says that Gen. Smith captured two thousand prisoners and thirty-six guns in a fight on the 9th. Still another letter says: We get all sorts of reports from the front. The latest is that Gen. Smith whipped the rebels, taking two thousand prisoners and eighteen guns. The expedition is no doubt broken up, and our troops are falling back. Gen. Banks is mentioned as having been on the field on the 8th.

ery ear-marks, he might easily fancy himself reading the speech for which Alexander Long has been censured in the House. Mr. Long and Mr. Henderson do not essentially differ. In our judgment, Mr. Henderson, everything considered, has made a more effective plea for the acknowledgment of the Southern Confederacy than Mr. Long has. The spirit, tendency, and fundamental principles of the two speeches are the same. The gentlemen agree so fully that we shall not be surprised if they are found supporting the same candidate for the Presidency. Indeed, Mr. Long concludes his speech by avowing that if "the war is to be still further prosecuted" he prefers "that it shall be done under the auspices of those who now conduct its management" The inference is that, between McClellan and Lincoln, Mr. Long will go with Mr. Henderson for Lincoln. We predicted upwards of a year ago that the peace men and the Abolitionists would ultimately act together in favor of the acknowledgment of the Souther

We make the following extracts from the latest Northern files: A Phage speech in the united States Senate--Prentice's Comments Therson — the rebellion strong enough to be recognized. The following article from the Louisville "Journal," of the 18th inst., is worthy of an attentive perusal. There is one point in Senator Henderson's speech which evidently touched Prentice on the raw. It is really the shadow of the coming event which is cast before. Mr. Henderson says: "The border States have been ravaged, desolated, and now their population is flying to the wilderness territories of the West to escape the curses of what we call American civilization." Herein Prentice sees his own destiny: We have always believed, and we have repeatedly expressed the belief, that the Republican party, having swamped the Government in the consequences of the Republican policy, would ultimately conclude peace on the basis of a dissolution of the Union, if the people should not seasonabl

of chief Engineers and Major Generals in command that forts have been levelled by our artillery, have become a mass of shapeless ruins and unavailable to defence. These forts, for six months thereafter, have held in security Confederate garrisons, and yet they frown defiance at our iron-clad navies. For three years the armies of the rebellion have defied our power. In April, 1861, the Executive and his advisers thought that 75,000 men could suppress the outbreak in three months. In July, 1861, the Congress thought that 500,000 men would soon complete the work. With an army of many hundreds of thousands now in the field, the same authorities regard it necessary to add 700,000 more to the present. Who is the man that thinks the rebellion is weaker to day than it once was, two or three years ago? It is easy to say we think it weaker. Indeed, it may be so strong; but our actions give no evidence that such is our opinion. If deceiving others be excusable, it is scarcely to

For that matter, there are in the breasts of thousands and thousands of Republicans a smouldering admiration for McClellan, and a living faith in him that, no matter what may be the final c

re their consciousness was fully restored. Even their bounty was obtained by parties who were instrumental in these nefarious transactions, and the poor wretches find themselves on returning to their senses mustered soldiers, without any pecuniary benefit. Nearly all were foreigners, mostly sailors, both ignorant of and indifferent to the objects of the war in which they thus suddenly find themselves involved. Two men were shot here this morning for desertion and over thirty more are now awaiting trail or execution. These examples are essential, as we all understand; but it occurred to me, General, that you would pardon me for thus calling your attention to the greater crime committed in New York, of kidnapping these men into positions where, to their ignorance, desertion must seem like a vindication of their own rights and liberty. Believe me to be, General, with the highest esteem, your obedient servant. J. J. Wistar. To Major Gen. John A Dix, New York city.
