HOW   LONG,  O   L.ORDT
How long, 0 Loid ? we raise onr cry to Thee,
From out the dust where bleeding  hearts   are
strewn;
How long shall this wrung prayer of agony,
Go up responseless to Thy Mercy's throne?
How long, O Lord ?   how long shall dread alarms,
The din nf bat 11 ng hosts, the cannon's roar,
TIim tramp of lurious steeds and clang of arms,
Like a black tempest stride Irom shore to shore?
How long shall brother on bis brother man
Leap, like a wild beast nf a forest lair;
With  hlo.rdy clutch proclaim the deadly ban,
And All with demon shouts tbe trembling air?
How long shall direful hate's remorseless sway
Rage rampant through tbe land  witb purpose
tell—
Order and law o'erlurn—the nation's stay—
And light her altars with the fires ot hell?
How long? ob, heritage so richly b'est
By God's good gilts, tbat wauts should be unknown,
Shall  hy fair soil by ingrate sons be prest
And graves of martyrs still be thickly sown ?
How long ere Peace, her snow white wings sha
sweep
Our land from hither to remotest shore ;
Till   hearts that bleed and break, and eyes that
weep
O'er war's dark train of ills, are known no more?
How long ? O Christ, we supplicate to Thee ?
By Thy ^reat love, by Thy eirdurar.ee strong:
By prayer, and cross, and dying agony—
And ginrions triumph over wrong—
Not long, O Christ I not long I —.V. Y. Express.
The Texona ns Soldiers.
One of the "Ironsides, Regiment," captured at
Bradshear City, La , writes as follows of the Tex-
hiis: "A word before I close th's epistle about
the Texans. whose prisoners we have been lor a
month. I have called them half savages, and it is
about true, but they have some of the noblest qualities of savages. Tbey are brave to rashness, and
will endure with patience any amount of exposure
and suffering to accomplish iheir end. They are
generous, good natured. and ireat the r prisoners
with much kindness Tbev are splendid horsemen, fine marksmen, and can go lor days with but
a morsel of uncooked food to eat They are cheap
troops to support, because they don't care lor l&nts,
will wear any kind of clothing, and will live on
bacon and hoecake, or forage for themselves and
their hordes.
But though brave, tbey are perfectly undisciplined and regardless of orders, and will fight
every man on his own hook, breaking ranks as
soon as ihey commence firing. So that altuougb
they are excellent bush-whackers, they ..re often
cartel ed and routed in ihe opeu field. Tbey cou-
ider themselves the equals ot their officers, and it
e a risky matter to punish them for insubordination. When there i» no fighting going on, ihey
soon 'ire of the restraints of camp lile, and often
leave lor home, coming back when it suits ihem.
Then Ihey will steal, even Irom Iheir own oflic.rs;
tbey will brag beyond all the bounds of truth, and
they won't wash themselves or Iheir shirts. They
don't consort readily with ihe Louisianians, whom
ihey call "lazy, cowardly Creoles," and by whom
ihey aie cordially hated and termed "Comanobes
and thieves," aud both charges have, I expect,
some foundation. To give you an example of the
Texan way of doing things: Two or three dayu
ago some of them broke into the store of their
Post Quartetmai-ter, and came riding past our
hospital decked out wilh their spoils—captured
Uuited States clothing. One long lank country
boy had a cap on his bend aud another cap in his
hand.- One of our wounded men looking over tbe
balcony, called out: "I wish you would give me
one of those caps, bavu'l got any V Wot expecting,
however, tbat his r> quest would be granted. "All
lighi." cried tbe Texan, and chucked the cap up;
it lorlunately proved a gocd Bt.
On the whole I don'l know as we could have
• alien into better hands, and our month of captiv-
ily passed pretty pleasantly, consideiing the circumstances of our position."
Waste of Ammunition in Battls.—A veteran
army offic- r, writing ou this subject, says: "One
trouble is thai our men, in goiug into batils, are
weighed down, overloaded wilh ammunition, lav.
ing to sluff their pockets as well as tbeir cartridge.
boxes, with tbe sixty or eighty rounds ordered.—
Ol course v. ry much of this is thrown away or
wasted; but this is only a trifling evil compared
to the encouragement ihus given to tbe too prevalent idea among tbe men that be wbo fiies the
greatest number of rounds in battle is tne best
soldier. I have heard meu boasting of their
acbeievemenis in ibis regard, and the result ot
such an idea is a huriied loading aud discharging
without any regard to aim; a waiatiug upon trees
and foliage ol ammunition, which, il used at all,
should be used so as lo deieat tbe enemy. I was
struck by a remark fli..de by a rebel prisoner to
his captors, "We never carry more than forty
rounds 'nto action, aud usually expend about ten.'
There is altogether too much of tins wild. recklesB
fi. ing, the men discharging their peices before
bringing ihem fa'uly down to a level, and utterly
regardless ol taking aim. Ol course, there are peri ds when heavy, rapid, and continuous volleys
are necessary; still it would be well il every man
should be dulled as sharpshooters, taught to shoot
slowly, aud always take aim, either at the enemy
or his suppobed locality.
The Chain-Gangs of Glory.—The newspapers
are lull ol items s.imeihing like tbe following :
"A file ot conscripts aud deserters were marched
down tbe aveuue to-day, chained together and
handcuffed."
Deserters muBt of course be punished for deserting; aud conscripts who are indecent enough
not to rejoice, as Administration papers constantly assure us lbat conscnpls do rejoice at being
conscripted, may perhaps be handcuffed into a
happier frame ol mind. But it mu-t be admitted
there is something raiher grotesque in the speota-
cle of solders of the Union marching in chains to
liberate the slaves of rebels.—W or/rf.
The Recognition   Hueatln.
The Courriei des Etats Unis ol N. Y, a paper
which assumes to have better facilities tin n any of
its Amerioau coteraporaries for. ascertaining the
intentions of tbe French government, makes the
following statement:
Tbe English press persists in pnbtlsbing, and
the American press continues to reproduce a thousand and one rumors on the deliberations ol which the
speedy recognition ot the South is said to have
been tbe object ou tbe part ot the French Government.
' Special Information of tbe most positive char-
acter, wbicb reaches us from Paris, authorizes us
to give these reports a categorical and unreserved-
denial.
Tbe question ofa recognition of tbe Confederate
States bas not been discussed in aiy council of
Ministers ; it is not, in any shape or any degree,
among the questions of the day with which tbe
Imperial Government is at pressnt occupied. It
is in no way connected in,the political conciliations
of Napoleon III, with tbe actual development of
affairs in Mexico.
The English and other journalists wbo for some
weeks have been speculating so largely upon tbis
subject, have been entirely led into error by an iu
cident of which tbey without doubt have bad only
an imperlect knowledge.
TbiB incident is an application of tbe Regency of
Mexico to tbe Cabinet ot the Tuileries to obtain
the opinion of tbe Emperor on the question as to
what they ought lo do with regard to the South.
The contiguity of Texas and Mexico appeared to
the members of the R. gency an imperious motive
tor encouraging officially, wiihin a short time the
Government ot Richmond, of which tbat of Mexico
found itself, iu a territorial point ol view, so close
a neighbor.
Napoleon III., when consulted upon tbis subject
is said to have answered that it did uot belong lo
liim to determine the att'eude to be assumed by
ihe Mexican Government in its external relations;
that lor his part, however, he did not see the urgency oi this question ; lhat even the question of
opportunity was lo bim very doubtful, and tbat
finally a recognition of the South appeared to bim
a very grave measure for a provisional Administration, which wiuld thus implicate irrevocably
ihe luture policy of tbe sovereign whom they are
awaiting.
It is a wide distance from this very reserved ad
vice to the ideas which are so freely ascribed to
the Emperor, and we repeat that our information
permits us to affirm tbat this is the only occusiou
«.n which the recognition ofthe South bas recently come up for discussion in the high circles of the
French Government"
'*Unlon   Saver."
Looking over the files ot some Kepupliean
papers of I860, we were forcibly reminded of the
slur thrown upon the Democratic party as "Union
Saver," whenever we ventured to predict that ihe
Course of the Abolition leaders would be likely,
some day, lo involve lhe Union in trouble." "Ob,
nonsense I" said they ; "you are dough faces-
yielding to the slave power— pro-slavery tools -
Union savers—when every body knows the Sontb
ern States could not be kicked out ol the Union I
It they want to go, let tbem go I' and much more
ol the same sort ot reckless bravado. Now when
tbe Southern States have rebelled and gone out of
the Union, and it is costing thousands of lives nnd
millions ot treasure to get them back, and Democrats, wbo then feared tbis resuL and begged fanatics to stop, and are now begging them not to
make this a war that must forever prevent tbe
old Union from being re-established, they are denounced as disunionisls, whilst tbey pretend lo
have become the "Union savers I" How much
trouble would have been avoided by following the
Democratic party and adhering to the Constitution.—Lancaster, Ohio Eagle.
Terrible Condition of things.—The St Lonis
Republican ol September 29ih says that tbe situation of affairs in Missouri is horrible beyond any
power of description. iB ackowledge by all who are
acquainted with it. There are portions of the State
where uothing is safe—neither property nor life.
Houses and grain stacks are burnt—stock carried
off by gangs of robbers—Bud men are seized at
their houses, torn from tbe bands of weeping wives,
and children are shot as if they were bu< dogs-
The sufferings, miseries and woes which are ibe
portion of thousands upon thousands of our people, lortn a picture of calamity wbicb not long
eir.ee could cot have been imaginedjas possible in
tbis eountry. Atrocities acd cruelties which
would almost put savages to the blush are perpetrated. Perfectly authentic stories are told of
murdered men whose corpses have been denied the
ordinary meaus of decent burial
Well and Truly Said.—Ex-President Pierce'
in a receut speech, sp ke as follows ol the experience ol trying to couquer and subjugate the aeced"
ed States ;
We have seen tbe experience of tbe last two
years how futile are all our efforts lo maintain tbe
Union by force of arms ; but even had war beeu
carried on by us successfully, the ruinous result,
would exhibit its utter impracr inability for theattaiu.
ment of the desired eud. Tnrough peucelul agencies", and through such agencies alone, can we hope
"to lorm a more perfect Uuion, establish justice
insure domestic tranquility, provide lor the common defence, promote ihe general welfare and se
cure lhe blessing ol liberty to oureelves and orn
posterity," ihe Constitution was formed. If you
turn arour.d anil ask me what tf these agencies
fail; what if ihe passionate anger of both sections
forbids; what il the ballot-box is sealed. Then all
efforts, whether of war or peace having failed, my
reply is, you will take care of yourselves ; wilh or
without leaders, we will at least, in tbe effort to
defend our rights as a Iree people, buildup a greai
mausoleum ot hearts, to whieb men who yearu for

-Who Brought Trouble to the Nation '
President J < ks.ui, in bis farewell address,deliv«
ered March 3, 1837. pointed out what would   and
what has provokkedcivil war.   The readermayas
well remember what party the General characterized as men not worthy ol yonr confidence, and deserves your strongest reprobation."   He  saw tho
gathering storm, and forewarned the people of impending danger; but lo little pnrpose-tbey neglected to adopt tbe precautious which he suggested,and
the cons, queuees are appalling.—He   said:   But
the constitution conoot  tie   maintained,   nor   tba
Union preserved in opposition to public feeling, by
the mere coercive powers confided to tbe  General
Government.   Tbe foundations most belaid in the
affections of the people; in the security   it gives
to life, liberty, character and property,  in   every
quarter of tbe country and in the fraternal attachments which the citizens of the several Statewbear
one to another as members of one political   family
mutually contributing to promote   tbe happiness
of each other.   Hence the citizens of every   Stats
should studious'y avoid everything calculated   to
wound the sensibility or offend the just  pride of
other States ; and tbey should frown   down  upon
a.ty proceedings wiihin their own   borders likely
to disturb the tranquility of tbeir political   brith-
ern in other portions of the Union.   In a   country
so extensive as t'sie United Stat, s, and witb   pursuits so varied, the internal regulations of tbe several States must frequently differ from one another
iu important particulars ; but   tbis   difference id
unavoidably increased by the  varying   piinciplea
up. n which the American colonies were originally
planted ; principles which had Uheo deep root in
tbeir social relations before the   Revolution,   and
therelore, of  necessity,   influencing   their policy
.ince they b-came independent States.   But each
Slate has the unquestionable right to regulate   its?
own internal concerns according to its   own pleasure ; and while it does   not   interfere   wish  tbe
rights of the people of oiher4StalfS, or the rights of
the Uninn, every Stale must be tbe sole judge   of
measures proper to secure thesalety ol itis citizens
aud piomote their happiness; and  all tbe   efforts
on tbe part ol the people of   the other   States   to
cast odium upon tbeir institutions,  and all   measures calculated to disturb their rights of property
or to put iu jeopardy tbeir peace and   tranquility,
are in direct opposition to the spirit in wbioh tha
Union was formed, and must endanger its   safety.
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for   this
unwarrantable interference ; and weak men   may
persuade themselves, for a moment, that   they are
laboring in tbe cause of humanity,   and  asserting
tbe rights of tbe human race ; bnt every one upon
sober reflection, will see tbat nothing but mischief
can come Irom these improper   assaults upon  tbe
leelingB and rights of others.   Rest a sured, that
the men found busy in this work of discord are not
worihy   of your   confidence,   and   deserre your
strongest reprobation."   We believe ihat in 1837
Pies dent Lincoln was uot of tbe si.ool of politics
which Jackson denounced.   But since  tbat time
he bas been Humiliated by ihe party whom   Jackson deemed untrustworthy.   Ii   ihe H -ro of New
Orleans w-re alive to-day, he would be stigmatized as a "copperhead."   and   be perhaps banished
from the laud he did so much for.
The Ukase—Suspension of Habeas Corpus.
The writ oi habeas corpus is suspended throughout tbe land. The entiie North has been outlawed, nnd our judicial structure, by one sweep ofthe
Presidential pen, has been demolished. We live
hereafier under martial law. Any one we. ring
the Federal uniform can arrest a citizen "for any
offouse agaiust ibe military," and the Courts of
law shall have no power to intervene. The once
free aud independent States now form one vast
military camp, and all that remains of a Republican Government is a memory and a name.
The Tribune, announcing upon its bulletin this
intention of despotism, says : "God bless him!—
Abraham Lincoln. Suwarrow proclaiming the fall
of Ismael wrote "Glory to God and tha EmpresB."—
The imperial prostitute whose name he* thus linked with Divinity, was the reproach of the age she
lived iu, and the curse of her country. The Tribune's imploration goes for nothing, if not for sacrilege, when associated with ties violation ef the
most sacred right of American citizenship. We
too say, Good bless Abraham Lincoln! Bless
him with more wisdom, patriotism and humanity
iliau his proclamation evinces as bis altiibutes.
Bless bim with a conception of the misfortune be
has wrought, and tbe wrong that he is contemplating. Bless him witb endowment of reverence
for the institutions of bis country, and witb appreciation of his duty and ibe obligations ot bis
< fflcial oalh. But assuredly, uiiless repentance
and atonement interpose between him and retribution, in lien of blessing, bis portion will be the
imprecations ot his couutrymen to tbe last generation.
What means a suspension ol habeas corpus upon
the eve of momentous State elections? Tbe Federal arms are everywere in the ascendant. Tbe
Administration ha* passed scathless, except of
moral injury, the ordeal ot conscription ; the most
odious, thus lar, ol its measures. Tbe North is inoffensive in the face ot provocation ; Bullen, perhaps, but submissive; and deprecatory of further
injustice and insult. The people are willing and
anxious to submit their oause to the ballot-box,
and neither tui-i.ule.noe nor violence menace the general repose. Why, then, suspension ot habeas corpus? Is it io provoke (be collision thai tbe people
would avoid? Is it because th- masses are too ob
edieut and humi.le, anu by their calm propriety
thwart the iute lions of tyranny and leave no pre-
lext for oppression? Does the despot chale at the
good nature and forbearance of his sul.jvots? If
uot intended as a goad to popular resentment, tbe
proclamation seems strangely inopportune.
Perhaps, like Gesseler's cap, it conveys bat a
challenge to startle the Tells of the JRepublic from
their apathy, that they may be marked and dealt
with. It it means anything itmeausdnnger- to the
Elective Franchise. ''Bend, slaves, to Gessler's
cap f if you will, but cling to your Elective
Franchise. New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio
are more more difficult than Maine lo be moulded
by fanaticism.   Therelore the proclamation.
What will Governor Seymour do to ward off
tbis lifst blow at Slate sovereignty and judicial
independence? He has promised musjb, what will
he do? His words are excellent; tney flow like
the gentle streams and please the ear like tbe melody of harps. But tbey will not satisfy tbe demands of ihe public comon sense and h've of liberty. What will he do and wheu will It be done ?
