In bis elegant address at Amhorat Col lege on the lOlli inst., Hon. D. S, Dickin. son I litis fitly characterizes secession: No one denies to en oppressed people the riL'tit or rovolulion as the last dreadful re sort of man seeking emancipation, when all other tfl'orls have proved unavailing nevor to bo entered upon except as a terrible no- CCPsitv. But Secession is a hold nnd hnld i and wicked imposture with its authors. chimera, an illusion and cheat (vim those who are betrayed into its support, and it ex hibits the worst features ol the basest des potism in enforcing ob6dienco to its reign of terror, it is out a synonym for disunion by violence, under tho pretense of rights reserved to States, and must have sprung like the voluptuous goddess, from Irotb, so little of right or renson, or justice, or remedy ,or good sense, is there in it, or around it, or about it; though like the contents of her mvstic girdle, it promised to lis votaries a surfeit of hidden pleasures. The attempt to liken this wicked and cor rupt rebellion to tho American Revolution. requires an assuranco ol b'ass sufficient to reconstruct tho Colossus of Rhodes' While the colonies were petitioning for a redress o' grievances, war was precipitated upon them by tho British crown, to compel their hub mission and silence. While congress was canvassing the alleged grievances of a portion of the States ol the Con ederacy. and while its legislation upon the subject of the Terrii torics was proceeding in harmony with thoir prolessed wishes, members representing such aggrieved states withdrew an 1 precipitated Disunion in hot haste, before the result of proposed conciliatory efforts could be ascertained, as though they 1 ared if they await ed the development of events in progress, they might be more seriously aggrieved by a redress of gnievances! His arraignment of the traitors who. scorn ing tin constitution and scouting the fl-gof tne union, now witn more than oriental abasement at the foctntool of King Cotton: is no less just than severe- Ha savs to tbein. You repudiate the Constitution with no sulncitKit cause of revolution; for all the alleged cause of grievances as stated were insufficient ts justify it, and proclaimed a di.. solution ol ti.e Union, defied and dishonored iisfl tg, and menaced tho Government by do nouroing actual war. You seized by viow lenco its foitresses, armories, ships, mints, custom l ouses, navy yards, and othor property, to which you had not even a nrctonso of tight, and threatened to take possession of tho National tiapital. You bombarded Fort Sumt'-r, a fortress of thi United States, gar" risonel as a paaca establishment ouly ond in in a stut3 of statvation, from batteries which lh United States, in its exlrcma desire for paacj permitted you to erect for that purpose under the guns of the same fortifn alion; a proceeding unhonrd of before, and never to be repaited hereafter bombarded it too, because the fhg of tho Union which your fath. irs and yourselves bad fought under with as tho batt'es of the constitution a flag which a few days previously, you had hailid with pride becauso the stars and stripes, the joy ol every American heart, full of glowing histories and lofty rocollections, was floating ovor it acc.irc'ing to the custom of every nation and people under heaven, was baleful in your sight! The Athenians were tired of hearing thoir great leader called the Just, and consigned him to binishmtnt. You were annoyed at the sight of the noblest national emblem which floats under the sun, when unfurled, where by iur consent and for n consideration too, tho Government ol the Unittd Stales held exclusive jurisdiction, and where it properly belonged, and for this you commenced a war promising to he more ferocious and exterminating throughout the Republic than the atrocious decree of Herod in a single village. His indication of (he method for securiug Pkacb is tho most pointed and untquivocal; a id is in cover, t ie sentiment of every loyal lit art. Ho says: You desire peace! then lay down your arms and you will have it. It was peace when you to:k them up; it will be peace when you lay them down. It will be peace when you abandon war and rottirn to your accustomed pursuits. Honorable, enduring, peace vocations will be found in complete obedience to the provisions of the constitution and not its violation or destruction. The Government is sustained by the people, not for the purpose of coercing States in their do mestic policy not for ihe purpose of crush ing n.embers ol too Cnnlederac b 'causa they fail to conform to a Federal standard rot for ihe purjoso of despoiling Ihe perp'e; and least ol all, lor the purpose ol distuibinc, or in any degree interfering with the system of southern servitude, but for the solo and onlv purpose of putting down an unholy armed rebellion, which hss defied the authority of the Uovernment, and seeks its destrucuor; and in this their determination is taken with a resolution, compared with which the erfiel s of the Medes and Persians were yielding and temporary! His eliiquvnt invosMion for the preser vation ol the Union should be lead and remembered as "households words," words which the wisdom of age should teach to lisping infancy in every home and at eveiy hearth, in order that the rrnnd nnd soul of coming generations may htt baptized in the gushing stream of their fervid p itriotitm. Mr. Dickenson asks : Can a Ui ion once dissevered be reconstructed by the arrange , ent of all parties concerned in its for ation ? No 1 When it is once destroy ad it is distroyeJ forever. Let tburo who believe it can be, first raise the dead, place the dimpling laugh of childhood upon tbo lip of age, gather up the petals of May flowers and bind them upon their naiivu sl ma in primeval freshness amid the frosts of December, bring back the w, there I Jetves of au.umn and breathe into their early luxuriance, and thi n may they bring together eg tin the scattered elements of a dissevered Union, when tbo generous spring time ol our Republic has' passed away, and atlGsh-ness and - ambi'ion have come upon us with ibeir premature frosts in tur "Wt-ttr of discontent." Shall we then surr nder to turbulence and faction, and rebellion, and give up the Union with all i.s elements ot good, all its holy memories, all its hallowed associations, all its blood bought histor)?. "No let the eagle ohange his plume, The leaf Iti hue, the flower its bloom." But do no' give up the Union. Preserve it to 'flourish in immortal youth,' until it is dissolved amid the 'wreck of matter and the crush of worlds.' Let the patriot and statesman stt.nd by it to the last, whether assailed by foreign or domestic foes, and if lie perishes in the conflict, let him full l:ke Itienzi, the lust of the Tribunes, upon the same stand where ho hits preached liberty nnd equality to his countrymen. Preservo it in the nnme of tho Fathers of tho Revolution preserve it for its great elements of good preserve it in the sacred tame ol liberty preserve it for the faithful and devoted lovers of the Cm- stitution in the rebellious Stales those who tire persecuted for its support, nnd are dying for its defense Rebellion cun lay down its arms to Government Government CANNOT BURREKDEtt TO REBELLION.Give up the Union! "this fair and fertile plain to batten on that moor!" Divide the Atlantic, so that its tides shall beat in sections, that some spurious Ne - tune may rule an ocean of his own' Divide aline upon the sun's disc that it may cast its beams upon earth in divisions! Separate the constellation of the Pleiades, and sunder the bands of Orionl but preserve the Union! Give up the Union, with its glorious flag, its stars and stripes, full of proud, and pie sing, and honorable recollections, for the spurious invention with no antecedents but the history of a violated Constitution and of lawl ss ambition? No! let us stand by the emblem of our fathers, "Flag of the free hearts, hope, and home, By angel hands to valor given, Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, And all thy hues were born in heaven." Ask the Christain to exchange the cross, wilh the cherished memories of a Saviour's love, for the crescent of the im-posler, or to address his prnycrs to the Ju gcinaut or Josh instead of the living nnd true God, but sustain the emblem your fathers loved nnd cherished. Give up the Union? Never! The Union shall endure, and its praises shall be heard when its friends and its foes, those who support nnd those who assail, those who baro their bosoms in its de fence, and those who aim daggers nt its heart, shall all sleep in the du t together. lis name shall be heard with veneration amid the roar of Pacific's waves, away upon Ihe rivers of the North and Enst, where liberty is divided rom monarchy and bo wafted in gentle breezes upon the Rio Grande, It fhall r sle in (he harvest, nnd wave iii the standing corn' on the extended prairies of the We3t, and be henrd in Ihe bleating folds and lowing herds upon a thousand hills. It shall be proc'aimed that by the s'nis and stripison eveiy sea of earth, as the American Union, one and indivisible: upon the great thoroughfares wherever steam drives and engines throb and shriek, its greatness and perpetuity hall be bailed with glad ness. It shall be lisped in the ear l- est words, nnd ring in the merry voices of childhood, and swell to Heaven upon the song of maidenr. It shall live in (he stern resolve of manhood, and rise (o the mercy seat upon Roman, s gentle availing prayer. Holy men Fhnll invoke its perpetuity at the altar of relig ion, and it shall be whispered in (he last f ccents of expiring age. St. Loins, July 19 The folio wing proclamation is just receivedfrora Brigadier General Pope : St. Lous, Mo., July 19th, 1861. To the People of North Missouri: By virtue of tho proper autlv rity I have assumed command in North Missouri. I appear among you with a force strong enough (o maintain (he authority of the government, and too strong to be resisted by any means in your possession usual in warfnre. Upon your own assurances thtl yoa would respect the law of the Un ted States and preserve the peace, no troops have hitherto been sent into your section of country. The occurrences of the last ten 'days, however, have plainly exhibited your lack either of the power or inclination to fulfill your pledges, and the Government has therefore found it necessary to occupy North Missouri wilh a force powerful enongh to c mpel obedience to iho laws. So soon as it is made m inifest you will respect its authority and put down tin lawful combinations against il, you wilj be relieved of (be pro ence of the forces under my command, but not until then. i ineremre warn an persons taken in arms against the Federal authority, who attempt to commit depredations upon publio or private properly, who molest unoffending and peacpnbln citizens, thai ihev will be dealt with in Ihe m st sum mary manner, without awaiting civil pro cess.

"Do it in pity " "fnstantlv." said h. ''Have you an r alum?'' Yes.' 'Bring it and some salt.' They were produced. My friend pulverized them, mixed in equal quantities, then wet a small piece of cotton, causing the inixeJ powder to ad- heje, ana placed it In my hollow tooth.

On the introduction of the mixed alum and salt I experienced as-nsilion ot coldness, snd i h it (the alum and salt) I cured the torment of tho toothache. Well Pot. An illustrated paper printed at Leipsio, Geimany, con: pares the North and fouth n this forcible way; 'What the South lacks Honey, men and the favor ol God. What the South ha Niggers, yel low fever and the alliances of Satan. Wh-t the North has Money, men, a righteous cause and the sympathy of humanity. What the North lacks -Pirates and thieves. Daily versus Wookiy Fapors. Any ono is lo he pitied who reads the daily papers constantly, and whoso bump of marvellousness is large enough to make them believe all the stuff printed therein. Never in the history of newspnperdom, has there appeared such a mass of absurdities, ridiculous rumors, falso gossip, con futed statements and coniraocuons, as these dailies publish in their .olumns. And yet a great many credu'ors people, hungry for any kind of details relative to the war movements, gulp down this trash without sifting out what is plausible, from whnt is the sheerest absurdities. A dozen stiiten.tnts and startling items of news will be given in ono column and all be contradicted in the next. One paragraph will contain what purports to be an important movement on the part of the Gove-nment nnd the very next article will probably give it the lie. To such an extent is this carried, thnt, a "constant reader" of the daily press is more likely to be befogged on publio matters, than the man that never looks into them. These sensation papers have an army of correspondents perambulating the country, fishing up items, who detail every foolish rumor they, hear in railroad en's or what they have picked up from some half scared dry goods drummer, who has just returned from the South, where he was credulous enough to swallow what every tipsy gasconading soldier told him, as to the warlike movements, nnd the immense armies of that section. From such noodles is gathered the stories about Jeff. Davis' terrible threatenings ard do-inos. These sensation editors put all down as facts, and on (he strength of them write out double leaded editorials by ths yard. At one time they had Jeff. Davis within twenty hours march of the Capitol, nnd in fnct they had the redoubtable chieftain no less than five days continuously on that twen'y hours march on Washington; rather tired must ho have been, tramping over that particular spot. Again these sensation presses daily erect batteries in (he most impossible localities, and thencxt morning they have vanished like the mist before the morning sun. One day Balti more is in the hands of a mob, the next there is a tremendous re-action i i the Un-ion sentiment, a remarkable change nobody in Baltimore hnppens to see. Ben. M'Cullough has a rtbel army in Virginia ore day, the ntxt he is in Texas. Old Benuregnrd though rather gets them. In the twinkling of nn eye they haTe him at Charleston, Pensncola, Richmond, and Alexandria, Norfolk. Like the Wandering Jew,' he appears to be constantly on Ihe tramp. Washington, nccording to Miese correspondents, one day is ".bout to be sacked by tho rebel force, and in (he very n xt bu.lget of contradictions they will declare it perfectly safe. In the foregoing paragraphs we have given fuint specimens of Ihe marvelous war intelligence afforded to Ihe public by the daily press. To sift out the truth from nil these conflicting accounts, false statements, telegraphic blun ders and trash of every tlesci iption is (he Herculean task of the weeklies. By this means, the reading public obtains at least once a week a perfectly reliable account of the state of publio afiuirs. Danville (renna..) Intelligencer. Heenan has challenged Mace, Hurst, King, or any other man in England for the sum of 10,000. It is also stated that Heenan's offer embraces several other points, viz: that ho (Hrenar) will stake $10,000 to $8,000 if Mace will come to this country and fight in Canada; ho will g've Mace $1.00') to defray bis expenses in re- or the the Boy will lake S10.000 to 8.000 and fight in England, if the Champion of Engl tnd will pay Heenan $1,000 to defray his expenses to thnt country. FKoiNNino to Count tub Cost. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writes: 'Evidently second sober thought is beginning to open the eyes of the belligerents down in 'Dixie.' A private letter from a writer in New Orleans, June 28, to a friend in Alexandria, Va., has the following passage. 'The news reaching here of the immense force (he federal gov ernment is bringing, into the field, has somewhat cooled the ardor of those ho presumed ihey had nothing to do but to appear in Virginia and ths Union troops would scamper ana run. uur people 1 ave now become satisfied that they made a great mistake in hurrying matters to the extent they have; but now having crosxed the rubicon, nnd taken the responsibility in (he rebellion, (hey must abide the result.' How Confederate Bonds are Valued in New Orleans.
