[Written for the Plttston lasetto. | THB3 BATTLK8NAKK FLAG, ternoon, as I was sitting at thia very table, engaged in preparing a dispatch, something in the apartment seemed to disturb me.— Looking up, I beheld, standing exactly opposite mo, a singularly beautiful female.— 80 astonished Was I—for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed—that I was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of her presence. A second,third and even a fourth time did I repeat the. question, but received no answer from my mysterious visitor other than a slight raising of her eyes. By this time, I felt a strunge sensation spreading through me —- I would have risen, but the rivited gaze of the being before me rendered volition impossible. I essayed once more to address her, but my tongue was paralyzed. A new influenoe, mysterious, potent, irresistable, took possession of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly, at my unknown visitant. Gradually, tho surrounding atmosphere seemed filled with sensations,and grew luminous. Everything about me appeared to rarify, the mysterious visitor herself becoming more airy, and yet even more distinct to my sight than before. I now began to feel as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations, which I have sometimes imagined accompany dissolution. I did not think, I did not reason, ! did not move ; nil ' were alike impossible I was only conscious of gazing, fixedly, vacantly, at my companion." ''Presently I heard a voice,saying,"Son of the Republic, look and learn !" while, at the same time, my visitor extended her arm and forefinger eastwardly. 1 now beheld a heavy white vapor at some distance, rising fold upon fold. This gradually disappeared and I looked upon a strange scene. H6- fore me lay stretched out in one vast plain all the countries of the world—Europe, Asia, Africa and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantio, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific. "Son of the Republic," said the same mysterious voice as before, "look and learn f" "At that moment I beheld a 4ark, shadowy being, like an aiu-el, standing, or rather floating, in mid-uir, between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the ocean in tho hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon Amcrica with his right hand, while he cast upon Europe some with his left. Immediately a dark cloud arose from each of those countries, and joined in midocean. For a while it remained stationary, and then moved slowly westward, until it enveloped Atflcrici in its murky folds.— Sharp flashes of lightning now gleamed throughout it at intervals, and I heard the smothered groans and cries of tho American people. " A second time the angel dipped from the ocean, and sprinkled it out as before.— The durk cloud was then drawn back to : the ocean into whose heaving waves it sunk from view. A third time I heard | the mysterious voice, saying, ' Son of the I Ilepublic, look aud learn.' other, descended from Heaven, attended by legions of bright spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who, i perceived were well nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage, again closod up their broken ranks and renewed the battle. Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice, saying, ' Son of the Republic, look and learn.' Hon.

That which she has so nobly declared from the ballot-box, it is now her manifest duty to make good upon the battle-field, (applause) and that duty already begun, will, 1 firmly believe, be faithfully performed upon the meeting of her Legislature, which takes place but a few days hcnce. Full, full will be the measure of my joy when I shall behold the patriot soldiers of Massachusetts and the patriot soldiers of Kentnoky meeting upon the same field of danger, and with the grasp of their fraternal hands, rebuking those traitorous men who, through, long years, have striven to make them aliens and enemies to each other. Fellow citizens, I am gratifiod to say that during the somewhat extended tour I have just made, I have nowhere found the public voice faint, or the public purpose faltering, in reference to the vigorous prosecution of this war until the stars and stripes shall float on every flag-staff from which they have been torn. (Applause.) Nowhere have I heard the word "compromise" (applause), a word which can now be uttered only by disloyal lips, or by those speaking openly and directly in the interests of the rebellion. So long as the Rebels have arms in their hands, there is n'othing to compromise ("good," "good," and cheers),—noth- nothing but the honor of the country and the integrity of the Government; and who,but he who is ready to fill a coward's grave, is prepared for submission to such humiliation as this ? for our country bright as that rainbow which spans the mists that mount above the tortured hell of Niagara's waters. For chat future the bow of promise and of bean* ty may well be accepted as the appropriate emblem. (Applause.) One of the most fearful obstacles which has been encountered in the successful prosecution of this war, is the disloyalty found in our midst. This is especially true in reference to Washington City and the border States; but it is in a degree true everywhere, and to this is traoeable muot of much that discouragement under wjiiot the nation is now suffering. The countn is now rejoicing in those bold and decidec measures which the President is taking tc subdue this fatal source of weakness and de feat. (Cheers.) It is in vain that th( stalwart arms and hearts of this great n* tion toil at the pumps, so long as men are kept on board with augers in their pockets who at every stolen opportunity are boring holes in the bottom of the noble ship on which we are all embarked. Fellow citizens, the thought of diemem* bering this Union, which has been thC source of all our strength and all onr joyi as a nation, can be entertained by no trw man. Dismemberment would involve the abatement of all of which we, as Araeri cans, have so long and justly been prond and the complete ruin of that grand inheri tance which we have received from our f» thers, and which it is our duty to transmii undiminished in its blessings to our desccn dants. It would conduct us from palacef of prosperity and power to hovels of wreteh edness and to graves of dishonor.

"If thin rebellion succeeds, it will involve necessarily the destruction of our nationality, the division of our territory, the permanent disruption of the Republic. It must rapidly dry up the sources of our material prosperity, and year by year we shall grow more and more impoverished, more and more revolutionary, enfeebled, and debased. Each returning election will bring with it grounds for new civil commotions, and traitors, prepared to strike at the country that has rejected their claims to power, will spring up on every side. Disunion, once begun, will go on and on indefinitely, and under the influence of the fatal doctrine of accession, not only will States secede from States, but counties will secede from States also, and towns and cities from counties, until universal anarchy will be consummated in each individual who can make good his position by force of arms, claiming the right to defy the power of the government. Thus we should have brought back to u» the days of the robber Barons, with their moutcd castles and marauding retainers.— This doctrine, when analyzed, is simply a declaration that no physical force shall ever be employed in executing the laws or upholding the government, and a government into whoso practical administrations such u principle has been introduced, could no more continue to exist, than a man could live with an angered cobra in his bosom."

Seranton, Feb'y 2, 1869.—tf On the foregoing, the editor of The Presbyterian makes the following remarks: " That these views are correct, every intelligent patriot will admit. The real object of the Southern Confederacy is to destroy the government of the United St itcs, and trample in the dust its Constitution. Their success would be ruin to the country; and yet there are to be found Northern sympathizers, the exact typo of the Tories of tnc Revolution, who employed every means to defeat the devolution, and restore the British rule. We see their object in certain Northern papers, which misrepresent tho acts of our government, ex;i;.rgeratc the pretended grievances of the South, and plead for peace at the saorifice of national honor and life. They represent, a portion of our cotmuuuity which is secretly employed in affording aid to the Sooth, endeavoring to prevent enlistments in the army, and strivfng to make tho war unpopular. No language is strong enough to express the wickedness of their disloyalty."Follow citizens, it cannot be disguisc( that we stand, lit this moment, oonfrontei by great national dangers and great na tional calamities. Eleven members of oni Union are in open, and thus far successful revolt—and an army, it may be of a hundred and fifty thousand men, breathing vengeance and slaughter, is twvering upon our lines, and menaoing the safety of Washing. From this pressing peril, no valient resolves, no brilliant declamation, no fervid prophesyings, oan possibly deliver us. Nothing but the sword, wielded by skillful and heroic hands, can now save this country from the last catastrophe that can befall a free people.
