seen a beautiful straw bonnet made 111 Chatham

Railroads. A meeting of managers of all the

Capt. Robt. J. Breckinridge, son of the
so-called (jitat Presbyterian preacher, is a candi

'I hi
old man is as vile a hypocrite as ever lived, for no
iie with the least spark of religion
in his heart
would dechro ia favor of prosecuting Lincoln's
war on the south " if it cau.-ed the dc-'.ruetiou of
even the women and children." The rev. Robt J
Breckinridge has done this, lie is a mean man.
The Xoiu ii-wi:.sTi:itN Statics. The war is
bearing heavily upon the farmers and manufac
turers of the North-western States. The people
of that section are beginning to find that by adher
ing to the Lincoln Government they have injured
themselves about as much as the people of the
South. Heretofore, a large portion of the pro
ducts of that section found a ready market in the
Soutb; but the war has stopped intcrcom'-se in
that way, and the result is, the only ouAict their
grain an d other stuff has is through the port of
New York, and sales arc made at much lower pri
ces. The North-west is furnishing Lincoln with
a large number of troops so as. to close the war
spcedilv and re-open the chamiels of trade. It is
piedieted that as soon as the people of that section
are convinced of- the impossibility of conquering
the South, they will be as clamorous for peace as
thev have hitherto been for war.

TUB LINCOI.TjJ CONGRESS.
The House had uiur consideration the biil
making appropriations' for expenses of the Coveru
inetit. Air Fesscndon, of Maine, s oke of the re
bellion, and said the Government should bring in
to operation its mighty machinery for. crushing it
or.' He and bis people held that there should
be no compromise with the rebels they must lay
down their arms, dissolve their Confederacy, re
store the national property they have stolen, arid
give up their leaders to merited punishment; and
they must do so unconditionally. Mr Fesscndcti
is a fool if he flatters himself with the idea that
such' degradation will ever be submitt ; 1 t by th
hodthern people. He went on to say that he
a-tood squarely ou the ground that the aim in pro
secuting the war was to preserve the Union. He
was in favor of exterminating slavery and confis
cating southern property in order to successfully
close the war.
Mr Allen of Ohio, offered a resolution that, in
the judgment of the House, no part of the appro
priation now or hereafter made shall be used in or
applied to tho prosecution of a war for the eman
cipation of slaves in the slaveholding States of the
Cnioti. On motion of Mr Blake ot Ohio, the re
solution was tabled yeas 91, nays 37.
On motion of Mr Ihiily, delegate Irom Nebraska, ,
it was resolved that, as the State of Alabama has
treasonably entered into the rebellion, the com
mittee on public lands be instructed to inquire in
to (he expediency id' confiscating certain lands in
Nebraska selected by Alabama under act of Con
gress, and that the same be applied to the use of
a Seminary now in operation in that Territory.
On motion of Mr Lovejoy, a resolution was
adopted instructing the J udic-iary Committee to
inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill

I ledehed (hem. I here were but. fwn nurii b.
tween the friends of the Constitution and the
Union on otic side, and the abolitionists on the
other.
Threats could not intimidate him. He intend
ed to speak his sentiments. . They .might burn
his property, might take him to the block he
would ascend tho scaffold with a firm sten but
in defiance' of them all he would express his
opinions' on matters relative to the good of the
country. He was charged with being a Seces
sionist leciuse. forsooth, he was not" all Aboli
tionist. The standard by which the Republicans
judged a man was this : If you were a friend of
Old Abe and his Administration you were a rood
I niuti man, but if you sought to maintain the
Constitution and the IJuion you were a Seces
sionist. The Southern men were much to blame
in this controversy. They had done many things
which had tended to bring upon ' "the country
this "dire calamity. I'ut the blame did not all
rest wkh th.'in. The ground taken by the
Abolition party of" the North, was the corner-stone
of all our difficulties. If they had let this slavery
quostion'alone, the sun would to day have arisen
upon a free, prosperous and united people. This
party, last winter in Congress, could h.ivc settled
our difficulties if they had been disposed. They
weighed the Chicago platform and t lie Union one
against : the other, and concluded ' to take the
Chicago platform, and let the Union slide!
Every one of the peace propositions coming
from the South was voted down by a solid I'epuo
I'can vote in' both branch s of Congress. In view
of the dangers which stared us then in the face,
with civil war in prospect, these Republicacaris
came up and voted solidly against compromise,
against agreement with brothers. ' Dissolution of
the Union was the consequence, and all the dire
calamiti s of dissolution are now upon us:
lie had said in some of his speeches' 'during
the summer that this war would cost 300,000,000
per annum. For that he had been branded as a
demagogue. He now believed it weuild cost more
than SI, 000,000,000 per annum. Who pays the
Government this money? It conies out of the
hard earnings of' the tax-payers. The interest
alone on this sum would, at ten per cent., be
570,000,000 per annum. After exhausting all
other resources of the Government, there would
remain of this immense sum (Sl,000,000,000j
8119.000,000 to be raised by direct ' taxation.
Indiana's 5hare of this would be some ;?7,000,UOO,
to be rai-c f, ho repeated, by ' direct taxation.
How is ir to be paid, looking at the depreciation
of property? of the value of horses!, Corn, wheat
lands? Does riot this thing, with this enormous
depreciation of ptoperty, look like coming down
with a crushing weight upon us?
He had predicted war with England when our
troubles began. For this. he' had been denounced
as a demagogue."' If it had not been for the
cowardice of'theise'confroliug tlic Government we
would now be involved in a war with England.'

the Union could be preserved by coercion by
force. He wai for preserving the Union' by
propositions of peace. He stood in"-this respect
on Andrew Jackson's ground. ' Rut they said
there was nobody to compromise South. Lincolu
had said a majority eif the people there wero Urtioa -men.
If the Crittenden . compromise had ' been
adopted thero would . to day have-been no such"
thing as secession in the South, - Virginia, Ten-"
nessec- and North Carolina had all voted tofttay ia
Mie Union-, but after the rejection the Critten.
den compromise their votes were reversed. That'
all the border States are not loyal to-day was
owing solely to the action of the lilack Republi- -can
party. . .
He (Davis) had been charged with being i
member of a secret society of the M. P. S. by
lying Republican editors. There waa not on
word of truth in the charge brought against him
in this connection.: He never was a member of a
secret political association. There was no secret
political association anions: the Democracy of
Indiana. If there wero secret political organiza
tions in Indiana they existed among the Abolition
Republicans themselves.
The policy of the Administration, its ultimate
object, was to liberate the slavrs. Gen. Halleck,
in Missouri, makers a proclamation prohibiting
fugitive slaves from entering his lines. Imme
diately Lovejoy, tho intimate friend of the Presi
dent, and the prince of. Abolitionist in Congress,
set on foot a movement to remove him Lovejoy,
who ran 29 miles from Bull Run without stopping
to catch bis breath. Gi.n. McClcllan, too, be
cause he is an oI I-rasliioned Democrat, a Union
man, he was to be superceded.' And who do you ,
think was to be his successor? Nathaniel P.
Banks, who said, not more than three years ago,
"let the Union slide." If the Administration
should declare against the emancipation of tho
negro, every Republican press, from Chicago to
Boston, would denounce it.
THE BATTLE OF PISIIINO CREEK.
The Nashville Patriot publishes.' the following
account of the battle of Fishing Creek, derived
from Private Morris, of Colonel McNairy'a Cav
alry Battalion : ... .
It seems that Ocng. Crittenden and Zollicoffcr
learned on Saturday last, that the enemy had
thrown a force of three thousand inen across
Fishing Creek, leaving the remainder of his forces
on the opposite side. The creek wan much
swollen by the recent heavy rains, and-was diffi.
cult to cross. Gen. Crittenden, who was in com- '
mand, determined to attack and cut off the enemy's
advance, if possible, before they were reinforced,
lie accordingly ordered Gen. ZollicofTer forward
with his brigade Saturday night, following him
self with the remainder of the army. At 8
o'clock Sunday morning, Gen. Zollicoffer dis
covered tho enemv in lmrsre foree. esfiionfil at
twenty thousand, the whole having succeeded in
crossing the creek, and immediately in his front.
The engagement was shortly commenced, and, in
a short time became general. It laatcd ' for sev
eral hours, terminating in the defeat of our forces,
who were diivciit. back to their entrenchments,
from which they were forced ta retire at 3 o'clock
in tho afternoon. After this, tho army fell back
across the Cumberland, under the lead of Gen.
Carroll. Gen. ZollicofTer was killed early in tho
action. ,--.. . ; . s j ! .o - f
Our inforwant says that Gen J'iejllicofTor mistook

forward, with I'm stuff, 5 to urdur i theui , to desist, ;

patch. 1 the Colonel to-wliorrHiT wj about to give
