By permission of Divine Providence we are under this severe discipline for our good, and we confidently believe tbst when we are sufficiently humbled, and willing to acknowledge God, in all his olaims, the scourgo will be removed from our distracted country, and the nation will be restored. Of the final result of the j present struggle we have no doubt. Speech of Miss Annie E. Dickinson: LINES On the evening of tho 4th inst., Miss Annie Jti. Dickinson delivered the following patriotic speech at tho Academy of Music, in Philadelphia: " Said John Keats, in his wonderful poem, 'Endymion,' 'There is not a more unfortunate end than a failure in a great cause." There could scarccly be any stronger proof of this sentence than is furnished in the gloom falling over this audience and filling every heart with sorrow at tho supposition of a failure in the object in which we to-day are engaged.— Consider the magnitude of tho issues at stake, the extent of tho territory endangered. Armies marching and countermarching have left their long trail of blood and flame in graves and trenches filled with the best blood of our land. Mr. Secretary Chase said the country is involved in a struggle for national existance. It is something more than that. It is something more than a for a flag, more than a battle for the Union, simply; more than a contest for subjugation and overthrow.— The contest to-day is between intelligence and ignorance; between tho nicety and refinement of civilization and the coarseness and • uncouth ness of barbarism ; between aristocracy and democracy ; in a word, between liberty and slavery. Different reasons may be given, different causes assigned by many of tho Northern traitors, infinitely meaner than any engaged against us on the battle-field, for they meanly stay at home to stop the Government in its objects. Different reasons may be given by these men, who are engaged in battle array against the Government, in the South openly engaged in the perils of the field, defending the cause of slavery; but they are fighting for it and staying at home. Read the record of our history, and we see from the beginning of our Declaration of Independence,now South Carolina, which with Georgia and Mississippi, compose the main strength of the present Confederacy, demanded that the clause in that document, censuring the mother country for the introduction of slavery, should be stricken out. It was stricken out. How new territory brought into the United States had new States carved out of it, to be made slave States in the United States. IIow we had the Florida war, and the passage of the Missouri Compromise, and the annexation of Texas as a ■lave state. 31 MACLAREN, Brass Founder, CEO. manufacturer o BOOTS * 9 fig1' To a bouquet of wild flowers from Poughkeep. lie.

It ii enjoined in the Old Testament code, and clearly taught in the doctrines of the New Testament. That piety which would wholly ignore the existence of civil government, or lightly esteem the iavaluable blessines It secures, would be wanting in an essential element, and would be entirely undeserving of publio confidence or respect.If-the Pagan Roman could embody in himself the noble virtue of devotion to his country, and utter as bis proudest boast, "lama Roman," how much more may we, who live in a Christian land, under the best government in the world, rejoice in our birthright, and beneath the broad folds of our beautiful flag, the symbol of Intelligence, Religion and Liberty, exultingly exclaim, " I am an American." 108 GEO.

Treason, which had been mattering its discontents for years, and uttering its threats of dissolution and destruction, with scarce a rebuke from those who had been in power, had developed itself in open rebellion; guns, that had been and still were the property of the United States, had opened upon Fort Sumter, which after a gallant defence for two days, fell. The President had called for 75,000 men to protect the capitol of the nation, and we were suddenly transferred from a state of peace of many years continuance, into a state of war. CS. BECK, M.

Old age this race is cropping ?" I asked some ladies whom I met, \ And didn't it set them hopfiing I "Wbat shall *i do ? What shall wi do? Wbv, lay them on the shelves, And we'll go down ourselves, And teach the rebels something new !" And for what ? We here record oar earnest and solemn conviction that there was no cause, no excuse, for this rebellion against our government, and there is no K'liation of the moral tcrpitude that has to all the wrongs and sufferings which have followed in its train. Nothing had been done by the North, either in the action of the seversl State governments, or in that of the Federal government, to justify it. No attempt hail been made to infraot the rights or any State, or of any individual in such State, nor vas there any intention on the part of the people, or of the government, to do any such thing. We go further, and say that such a thing was wholly impossible. The natural tendency to conservatism existing in the publio mind, was a sufficient guarantee against it; a tendency so strong, that men were very slow to move even in the direction of right. Constitutional barriers were in the way, which could not be overcome except by open revolution. The balance of political power was against it. With all the agitation of moral and political questions, that stirred the heart of the nation, and with all the changes that had taken place in publio sentiment, the Legislative and Judicial departments of the Government were in the hands of those who favored the interests of the South. As parties were divided, up to the time of the rebellion, they must have remained so for years to come. The Executive, therefore, wss, and must be, powerleas for evil, even if the disposition nad existed, which we deny. T\R. J. M.

Then later we had the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and then when they had gained all that could be gained by compromise, and had established their slave power in the south, and had gained a foothold in the North, did they cease to compromise? They had gained every compromise in favor of slavery; and, what was more important, they h»d gained time to establish slaveocratic ideas in the North; not only in the large cities, but among meu who breathed the free air of the mountains ot New England, and the various material interests of the North that it was to their advantage to sustain and uphold the South. Secure in this, it tore off line after line of the charter of freedom, and at lost it stood triumphant with its President elected, with the Administration in power sworn to support and sustain African bondage in our midst.

HARRINGTON, Attorney at Law, A Soldier's Life.—A soldier's life is • bard one. It is full of privations. It is fall of hardships. It is hardly one that would be selected by the indolent or the luxurious. It is one of toil and oare, and no little endurance. Yet it is remarkable how well a soldier's life agrees with even many of those whom we have been aoeustomed to oonsider effeminate. We have personally known several young men of feeble health and indifferent physical stamina who, having " gone to war," have returned robust, hearty, vigorous, and substantial. Some of them whom we certainly believed would soon bo carried to their graves by a camp-life, have, on the contry, been regularly built up into stalwart men by the hardships they endured, and owe the promise of a long and healthy life entirely to'the extraordinary ohange brought about by military dieipline and duties.-— We dare say that there are cases in which lining on the ground, 1'oa fatigue of heavy marches, wet clothing, a poor diet, and so on, have exercised a different effect. Death has visited many, no doubt, aimply because they were subjected to such trials; but no instance of that kind has como under our observation, while we have been an eye witness to a number of instances, in which sickly men have been transformed by a soldier's life into specimens of rare manly vigor and physioal excellence. 1863.

They have desolated their own fair portion »f our country, converting their fruitful fields into barren waates. They have opened the wounds that bleed in so many hearts all over the land, as they weep over the graves of fallen heroes, or mark the vacant places in the social circle. They are answerable for the moral desolation and ruin which, under the most favorable circumstances, must follow in the train of this fearful eonflict.

They had preached disunion in the South for years. Gov. Wiso had said in 185G, that if the Republican candidate was elected he would seize the Harper's Ferry Arsenal and precipitate the South into a war. They proclaimed it in '59, '60 and 61, and when the decision of tho Northern people was given against them they brought on the war. Having carried it out and protracted this struggle, there has been a sentiment built up in the North, in the months thathavo passed, that would stand as a living barrier between them and the spread of the slave power that, having begun a war for slavery Ae North would not stop the war nor favor the cause of the war, but would crush them both. 50 Barrels Mess Pork! 1 Tan of Hams Sugar Cured " CAMBRIAN HOUSE," PITTSTON, PA.

A good story ia told of a private in the 14th Mass. regiment, who had strong inclinations for trade, though under the moat unfavorable ciroumstances: IIow true the language of St. James, as applied to thia atumendous wrong:— " Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members 1" With them it waa in luat of power, a lust which had grown and fattened upon the unrequited toil, the teara and the blood of millions of our fellow men, whom they had kept in bondage, and ground into the dust. It had becomq with them a paasion ; a* passion so strong as to produce that moral hallucination which led them almost to believe that to be right which was positively wrong.— Witness the appeals made of late years to what they call the divine sanction of slavery in the Word of Ood, and the claim for its justice atid propriety, founded on the philosophy of our being, aa seen in tho diversity of race and condition. Emphatically was thia rebellion conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. There art moral lessons to be drawn from the present state of things, by which we would profit. We acccpt it as permitted by God as a deserved chastisement for our vices. We had become a great, rich, and powerful nation, and in our prosperity bad too far forgotten Ood, the author of all our blessings. We had too readily consented to compromise the great moral principles that constitute the only true baaia of civil government, and had thua become particrp* criminu ia the great wrong done to oar brother man. We ware too eovetoua, giving comparatively little for the advancement of the cause of Ood, while almost unmeasured resources were at our command. Now it has already cost the nation 9130,000,000 to oarry on the war for our country.
