And dictates unto all;
While craven spirits bend tbe knee(
Or in probation fall.
Is this tbe land so famed of yore,
For Which the Fathers bled ?
And those tbe men they thought would lite
When tbey themselves Were dead?
The Charter of obr Freedom broke—
Truth's champion stricken down—
A "stronger government" invoked,
Upon the land to frown 1
A war exhausting all their life;
New issues raised for fight;
The War Leech crying more and mote,
And Mercy's voice so light,—
All. till imperrilled in an hour,
That patriot's held so dear)
No trusted pilot at the helm
To hushr the nation's fear.
One bope alone remains to cheer—*

Trough which the ship must dart.

[Froth the Illustrated London News.]
Mr. Cbase, the AmeHcan Finance Minister, tilay
have bis own private ideas as to tbe state   of  tbe
war—we know that Finance Ministers bave occasional crotchets—but it is very difficult for a person wbo does not read telegrams in a non-natural
sense to coincide with tbat gentleman in tbe statement tbat tbe oohlederates are vanquished, or  as
he puts it, that "tbe rebellion is   virtually   crushed."   That he intends it shall be,  if   possible,   is
Conceivable, although the tortuous course several
leading politicians in tbe North makes   it  almost
dangerous to assert positively that they desire anything except a continuance of tbe state  of  things
that keeps them in office and enriches   tbe   most
worthless, greedy, aod ignorant part of the  mercantile community.   But, assuming tbat Mr. Cbase
would like to see President Davis and Mr. Benjamin in La Fayette, and tbe South electing  members to be sent to Washington under   escort  with
orders to shoot a deserting legislator, we can justify his declaration only upon   tbe   principles   of
our courts of equity—namely, tbat a man- is  held
to have done tbat wbicb be   intended   to do.   Io
this sense Mr. Chase, like Tom Thumb,  may  be
allowed to say,
Rebellion 's dead, and now I'll go to breakfast.
But, regarded from tbe ordinary point of view,
"rebellion" does not seem to be so   dead   as   Mr.
Chase may wish it.   In "Cymbeline" tbe boastful
Prince Cloten says tbat his antagonist would   not
stand bis ground.     "No"   observed   a   conrtier,
aside: "but be fled   forward,   and   towards  your
face/'   This is something like tbe Way  in   wbicb
GeD. Lee is flying before the retiring   Federals.—
Early in the week tbe Federal organs in England
were proving in the most triumphant manner that
Lee bad entirely failed in all be intended to do, ol
wbich tbey had   much   better   information   than
either Rosecrans, or, indeed, himself, and lhat bis
retreat across the Rappahannock must be held   to
be a throwing up of tbe sponge.   But Lee seems
to bave been completely in accord witb his friends
bere, for the lateft news, up to tbe time at   wbicb
tbese lines are written, is (bat be bas again   come
over the river, beaten^the   Federal   cavalry   with
heavy loss, and tben   advanced   to  attack   them
again.    "Tbe object of tbis movement,"   Bays   tbe
New York message piteously, "is unknown." This
is probable enough, but if   one   might   hazard a
guets, tbe object is not tbat of throwing down his
arms and asking terms a little milder  than  those
clerical ones which menaced two kinds ol fires   to
tbe Confederates and  their  leaders.     Moreover,
Longstreet has   reinforced  Bragg,   news   which
must be agreeable to Gen. Meade; and  It   is said
that tbe Confederates have made an incursion into
Kentucky.   Now, Mr. Chase may say tbat   rebellion is dead, bnt   "three  great  oaths   (and  tbe
Northern clergy are so Btrong in this   department
that if yoa did not know they were preaching you
woitld think they were  swearihg)   will  scarcely
make that believed,1' if We may   quote   from   the
adVehtufes of Parolles, a gentleman WboEe   name
constantly occurs to hs in connection with Feder*-
el naratiVes.   When we have added that two Confederate divisions had been  detached from  tbe
front ol Chattanooga and   were  moving   on   the
Federal lelt, we bate made a slight and nnneces^
saty addition to the difficulty which we seem to see
In the Case of tbe great  manufacturer  Of  greenbacks. •
But wbat the Federals cannot do iu the field
they certainly effect at the polling-booth. We may
interlope here, by tbe way, tbe curious admission
by the Federal press that the vaunted "secresy"
of the ballot system lu America is all nonsense,
and that the ballot is simply a machine for*enabl-
ing votes to be taken "rapidly*' and with "precis-
ion"—a point which will be useful to Mr, Berkeley in Uie next monologue; We proceed to allow
that at certain elections, especially that one which
terminated iu the signal defeat oi Mr. Vallandig-
wbile to win by sucb majorities at the price wbicb
tbe newspapers say has been paid—viz: tbe sending away enoUrmous bodies of soldibta frdm the
army to the polls, and thereby making it easier
for tbe Coufederates to beat the crippled leader of
Ibe North—is a question for Mr. Lincoln himself,
wbo may be supposed to know whether it is more
desirable to hate a strong vote or a strong army.
But, as Mr. Chase states tbat the defeat of Mr. Val-
andigham will Cause "great trouble" in England.
We are bound to say that this awful event bas
Caused the utmost dismay here. The Queen bas
returned to Windsor Castle to be near Lord Russell, the bank bas raised its rate ot discount, Admiral Fit2oy has ordered the top cone to be hoisted at the summit of the storm-drum, atid tile porpoise at the Zoological Gardens lias died of grief
and fear. Iu the interest of truth we freely, and
at the expense ofour national character for courage, present these fUBtB to the Federal newspapers
which have based arguments against us upon Incidents far lees referrable to the matters with Which
tbe ingenious scribes have linked them.
As for the Russo-Yankee alliance^ the subject
is too terrible for calm contemplation. The speeches at the New York banquet bave been indorsed
by a Moscow journal, which states that the Russian fleet had been sent to America in order to be
ready to menace the commerce of France and England in the event of hostilities. Wefian only be
pleased with the modesty wbich limits the menace
to tbe mercantile marine, and does not presusnu to
say tbat the Russian fleet has the slightest idea of
coming into collision with our ships Of war or the
Emperor's. Tbe Sebastopol lessou has not been
given in vaint and the Russian Minister of Mariue
has arrived at the discovery that
the prine object cf a ship is not the being sunk
with expidilion. But it will be time enough to
talk about this sort of thing when hostilities do
breakout; and then, as we have a few vessels in
the Western waters, it will be for the commanders
on those stations to decide which ship he can best
orders. We bave belore us at this moment thd
record of a case that hats scarcely a parallel in all
history.   It occurred  in   Pettis   county.   A  Mr,
E , than whotb a better of quieter mad did hot
live, a Christian gentleman, with a lovely family
around him ofBdns and a daughter, a toad Of-
wealth owning a large number of slates—uiis mad
thought it was never asserted that be was disloyal
to the extent of being a rebel, yet he was accused
ol being a Copperhead.
Fdr this crime, and no Other, tbe Radicals 6offlA
menced a system of persecution against bim which
ended in tbe utter and lasting ruin ot his family;
They first searched bis house for arms, and (they
were enrolled militia tben) insulted the vYomen iti
a most dastardly and cowardly manner. This
search Was Often repeated and never without being accompanied by robbery. Tbey next stole fronl
this man four or five hundred mules and horses,
and when tbey bad done   this   tbey   cards' to his
house aDd commanded Mr.   E , to go along
witb theft. When a little way from the house,
they deliberately shot bim dead. These persecutions continuing, the sons fled from home, ia terror of their lives. The negroes were taken off and
sold to tbe Kansas Red Legs, and by them sold to
tbe Cherokee Indians and by tbem to the Texans;
But wbeb ali these crUel and iofamsus acts had
been committed, they did not stop. Day after flajf
'bey Visited this deV'oted house, demanding always
a meal of victuals, and rewarding the widow lady
by insulls. They ordered her to bring Irom tha
cellar her preserved fruits, which they da9hed Upon
tbe floor in the parlor, and tbed bedabbled tha
whale house by walking through it. One took an
ax and hewed the piano id pieces. In her agony
the poor woman appealed to the leader, that inas'
much aBthoy had taken from her ber all, it Would
be an Act of pity to kill ber, thus fittingly to com'
plete tbe tragedy ; to which sbe received in reply
only a sneer.
Diamonds and Shoddy,
The independent, Beecher's paper,   sbSifS (Hat,
spare to tow the Russian fleet into Portsmouth, to I since the beginoiDg of the  War,   (bote diamonds
be refitted for her Majesty. Englishmen are the
last people to swagger, but a menace from Russia
on the seas is almost too ludicrous. The hen In
the fable, who insisted on swimming because she
had wiugs and feathers like ducks, aud urged
tbat—
If my beak ia pointed, and their beaks are round
Is that any reason Why I should be drowned?
but came to grief, notwithstanding this irrefragable statement, is the only illustration that occurs
to us ol Russia taking command of the seas. We
hold her myriads of whiskered Paudours and of
fierce Hussars in due respect, and we uuaffectedly
admire tbe courage of her soldiers; but she is not
to use Mr. Lincoln's elegant image, "webfooted,"
and we are.
Leaving Mr. Cbase and his peculiar views of
death, and the terrible alliance between the Czar
Lincoln aud the President Alexander, we must
note tbat the South has been taking action in a
way which Mr. Benjamin has justified at enormous
length, and whicb really does seem to retjuife. a
good deal of defending. The South has pressed
—observe—pressed, a great many subjects of the
Queen and of the Emperor ofthe French into the
Confederate ranks. < Thi^act is notoriously an offence against us and tbe French. But, as we do
not as yet recognize the authority which hassanc-
tioned it, we have no one to remonstrate with, ex
cept that, by Mr. Chase's logic, We should have a
right to demand satisfaction of Mr. Lincoln, ruler
of the South as well as tbe North. No, we have
not done this; and, as our Consuls and tbose of
the French bave advised tbe pressed men not to
slaughter Mr. Lincoln's soldiers, but to throw
down their arms, Mr. Davis has ordered the Consuls to leave the Southern Confederacy directly.
These gentlemen are accredited to President Liu-
coln, not to Mr. Davis, of course, and can be thrust
out only by the strong arm. The act may be justified by those wbo lay no claim to impartiality,
bbt il appears to be a vicioUs consequence of a
vicious beginning- But, as in case of tbe "preset
ing," to whom is Earl Russell to appeal? Mr
Lincoln is not chargeable wilh the blame, and we
do not know any person of the name of Davis at
present, though be is most anxious for the introduction, Of course, il we pleased, we could, with
the full concurrence of Washington, reinforce tbe
beseigers of Charleston, and serve out a little Japan justice; but we apprebend tbat Eatl Russell
will not see bis way to tbis adaption of our Oriental habits, though the sjases are curiously alike,
and the Mikado Lfncoln bas no more command
over Prince Datis than the spiritual Japanese
Emperor bas over President Satzuma. We imagine tbat the consuls will remoVC; ahd the matter
be left in abeyance until larger matters are settled.

Terrible Atrocities—Tiie Radicals In Missouri
' There is not a worse or more desperate olase ol
'men on earth than tbe Radicals of Missouri. Fiom
every source there comes the same report Conoer=-
ning the ehatactef os those men—the ajrociiy of
their doings, their desperation, their lying duplicity, even amid the plainest and most positive evidences touching matters of difference between them
and their oppoDents. Connecting tneniselves( in
many instances, wilh the enrolled militia, they first
sought to control tbat organisation throughout
the State, and make it subservient to their own
purposes. Having officered the regiments and
companies aud filled tbe ranks with men of their
own ilk, tbey perpetrated, under tbe guise and
pretense of lojalty, the most fiendish acts Upon
nnoffensive citizens of tbat State, of robbery, pillage, arson, and nol stopping at murder. Men bave
been accused of being '-Copperheads,' and over
and otei again have suffered death upon this un-
proven charge.
In very many portions of the State these rfcdi=
cals—assuming to bd "all the loyalty in MlsaoUrl*'
—have persecuted peaceable eltizens until tbey
actually drove them Out in many instances this
bas been done by out enrolled militia, in defiance
of the most explicit orders of Governor Gamble, by
men holding commissions from him who have not
scrupled to defy his authority and disregard  his
add unset   gems   have   been   imported  into  tba
United States than ever   before ' during the same
period Of time;   In 1862, diamonds were imported
to ttie value $188,821 j add; ddring the first quarter
of thfi present year, they   were   imported   to  IH8
value of $69,246.   Diamonds increased the second
year of tbis war four-fold, and the third year will
double lhat.   The soulless snob  Wbo  edits tbe
Independent closes bis article  by  offering to bet
tbat do diamonds hate   been   imported  Into tho
South during this   period.   Perhaps   not.   Be it
said to their Credit and our  shame—for it is only
by robbery and plunder tbat the shoddy thieves of
the Abolition party have been enabled to Indulge
in such snobbish   extravagance.   This   extra Inn
portation of diamonds and all   accompanying ex-
travagance of tbe Abolition war,  bave cost a million of lives.   It has made  half a  million of Widows, and two millions of orphans,   tt has soaked
the hand ib blood,aod   demonized   the datlod, so
tbat it has become the  horror  of  the civilized
world.   Tbe brutal shoddy thieteS shake their ill-
gotten diamonds in   vain.   Their  is blood upon
them 1   They bave ceased to be a sign of respectability.   They Catry with them an   inevitable suspicion of vulgarity,   tbe class of men and women
that wear diamonds now never wore them befofft.
Tbey adorn their new wearers as jewels do a hog's
snout.   In tbe scale of respectability, Lincoln has
made diamonds as cheap, and common, and vulgar
as his shiDplasters.   Tbe result is   tbat   people of
real sespectability are gradually leaving them Off;
A lady Cannot now go into public, where she is not
known, heavily  loaded  with  diamonds,  without
drawing npod herself suspicion of heitsg the Wife
or mistress'of a shoddy contractor,   or some other
yulgar supporter of the negro   equalizing Administration at Washington,   For tbis reason there are
many ladies of New  York,   Philadelphia aod we
presume of other cities, who have  not worn tbefsf
diamonds  for   tbe   last   year and  a-half.    Tbe
Washington papers, a few weeks ago, reported the
instance of a   woman   being  found  in a state o*
beastly intoxication,'ifl the streets, with ten thousand dollars worth  of   diamonds   on   her person,
Tbis is tbe respectability of Washington under the
rule of shoddy.   Diamonds, like tbe  lustre of our
Country's fame, hate become dim under tbe joint
reign of Abolition and vulgarity,   The moralsand
manners ofthe  Loyal   Leaguers  are ragged and
filthy, as their personB are bright with   glitter of
diamonds.   0, boastj of   your   ill-gotteh riches!
