YoT the Ainurionn M.suennr. The Hospitals or St. Louis. Pew are aware of the large number ol sick in about St. Louis. It is estimated that there are some 10,000 now. and 2,000 moro comtng this week. This isthe great point for sending the sick from (Jen. Grant' arnip below. Jefferson Barracks, twelve miles below the city, with twelve buildings some of them GOO or 700 feet long, have now 2,000 patients. Their physical comfort is well provide ! for, as it is in all the other hospitals. Not so with their spiritual necessities. The labors of two chap. lains, aud one lady who gives her entire attention to these sick men, are totally inadequate to meet this great duty. Twenty ministers could find all they could do to luiuister to these sick and dying men. To supply this lack of ministerial service, we have uudertaken to form a w.-.rd library for each of these twelve hospi'al buildings in and about St. Louis. Some thousands of volumes have been granted by the Tract Society; and given by churches for this purpose; but the work is by uo menus completed, and many Loses of books Tire yet needed. Who will aid? Six months since wo asked this question through tho pipers, and Btatjd the necessity; but except by personal application to individual churches, no response has come. The soldiers highly appreciate this effort for their benefit. Chaplains and nurses who attcud to the sick rejoice in this new power to benefit the men and usofully fill up their wcari-bome days of convalescence. Surgeons in charge say the religious reading, wisely distributed, is among the lest ttint'tiiry stores provided for these men, but for which govcriiaient makes no tir.ivUii.n Tl.-.. .i ii provision. 1 he meu say they would iro deranged, if reading matter was not pro " vided.

Army of the Cumberland: You have made a grand and sueecsssful campaign; you have driven the rebels from Middle Tenncscee. You crossed a groat mountain range, placed yourselves ou the banks of a broad river, crossed it in the faco of o powerful opposing army, and crossed two other great mouutaiii ranges at the only practicable passes, some forty miles between extremes. You concentra ted in the face of superior numbers; fought the combined armies of Bragg, which you drove from Shclbyville ta Tiillahunia, of Johnston's army from Mississippi, and the' tried cterans of Longsireot.s corps, audi for two days held them at bay, giving them blow for blow, with heavy interest. When the day closed, you held the field, from which you withdrew in the face of overpowering u umbers, to occupy the point for which you set out Chattanooga. You have accomplished the great work of the campaign; you hold the key of j hast 'Leiinessee, of Northern Georgia, and of the enemy's mines of coal aud nitre. Let these achievements console you for the regret you experience that arrivals of fresh hostile troops forbade your rciuaiu-ing on the field to renew tie battle; for the right of burying your gallant dead, and earing for your brave companions who lay wounded ou the field. The losses you have sustained, though heavy, are slight considering the odds against you, and the stake you have won. Y'ou hold in your hands the substantial fruits of a victory, and deserve, and will receive, the honors andplauditsnf a grateful union, which asks nothing of even those who have been fighting us, but obc-j dience to the Constitution and laws estab. 1 lisbed for our own ouimou benefit. The General Commanding earnestly' begs every officer and soldier of this ar-l my to unite with him in thanking Almighty God for liis favors to us. He presents his hearty thanks and congratulations to all the officers and soldiers , of this coiunand for their energy, patieuco and . perseverance, and the undaunted courage displayed by those who fought with such unflinching resolution. Neither the hi.-tojy of this war, nor probably the annals of any battle tarnish a loftier example of obstinate bravery ami enduring resistance to superior numbers when troops, having exhausted their ammunition, resorted to the bayonet, many times; to hold their positions, against such odds as did our left and centre, comprising troops from all the corps, on tho afternoon of the 20th of September, at the battle of Cbickamauga. (Sigtied), W. S. BOSKCltANS, Maj-Geu Commanding. Corrcsf ondt'Dco uf the Ohio State Journal- Uc Sharpshooters no Cowards. Chattanooga, Sept. 23, 1803. In viewiutrall tho dill'erent forces which entered the battle-field on Saturday, we never have witnessed any corps ot troops enter danger with as litle fear as the 1st Ohio Sharpshooters. The battalion under command of Capt- G. M. Barber arrived at a pass just at tho fiercest fight ensued, about 2 o'ekek At this pass there was more confusion aud bustle than at uuy other point, aud more calculated to excite and confuse uew troops. Wagons were hurrying through, ambulances driving at full speed, artillury dashing through at fearful rate, and shells bursting over their heads; yet, amid all this, the Sharpshooters were as cool and rescued as if no danger thrcatned. Tho officers and men of tho battalion deserve great praise for the cool and deliberate manner in which they conducted themselves while under fire, and while on retreat; thus causing many other regiment who were excited and much cut up by the enemy, seeing their coolness, to lay aside all fear and retreat in good order; and without a doubt preventing a stampede, which must necessarily have occurred, had uot the coolness of tho Sharpshooter prevented it. E.W.S. Think or the Future! Imagine a venerable old Copperhead, when this war is ovor and (' ese stirring times are forgotten, sitting at his home with his children around him. He may tell them of tho wars, and the sacrifices men made and how the people rejoiced when the news of victory camo from the army. What will he Bay of his own part in that struggle? "Myclildren, iu that sad time, when the country was in danger, I was against my country my heart was with the rebel; when he triumphed I was glad when he was defeated my heart was sore and heavy. My children when 1 am gone, do not curse the traitor, Be silent. It is the only respect you can pay to your father's memory " The above was handed nsby a Merchant of our city. He picked it up in a street in New York City. It is applicable to Biaov a man in thin latitude. Anecdote orticu. Little. In a recent speech at the Ohio Convention of war democrats, Col. lturke relatud the following anocJote of the brave Geo. Lyttle, who was killed at the late buttle of Chattanooga: ''Au officer of high rank from another State, during a conversation on Ohio poli-tics, remarked that the democrats of Ohio ought to elect Yullaiidigbutn and that if they did not, they would not be true to the democratic parly. The brave Lyttle instantly sprang to his feet, und with that flash of his eye we all so well remember, replied, '-Sir, I am an Ohio dem crat my comrades here are Ohioans you must retract what you have said, or fight me before twelve o'clock." (Sensation aud loud cheers." The rebel leaders themselves declared to foreign Governments that Slavery fur nished no just cause ot Secession. This acquitted toe North ot all hlame, fur no other pretext was ever thought of. Bui tho Secessionists made Slavery the means of rebellion, and by that they involved it in tho fate of war, just as any other means that are used to maku war are subject to the fate of war. They set up their ultimatum that Slavery must have absolute control of the liovci'tiujcnt, or it should not exist, i hus i it declared itself at war with popular government. It has made the issue, uud of course the issuo will be fatal to Slavery, for popular government is not going to die in this nation. Through whatever struggles it has to be established, the supremacy of the people will be maintained, and if any compromise short of that were possible, it would not. be peace. There can be no peace until tho right of the peo pie to govern this whole uatiou is established.Slavery is a state of war with mankind. Iu the local Governments it is absolute,1 aud it unites them all by a despotic bond. Were this; hostile interest destroyed, there is no other that could so unite a great section of the nation iu support of the des perate determination ot a party to retaiu office in spite of the popular election. On none of the other great questions that have been agitated by parties iu this couutry has lb-; South ever been unite 1, although the disunion agitators have always tried to give every question a sectional turn. If this interest, which has now openly declared war, not only against national integrity, but against all popular Government, were subjected to the just fate of its own war and crushed, there would be nothing left that would ever dare to dispute the verdict i ol tho popular elections, nor anything that , -i, i': , e . . ,., . . . . to the t; ii ion. is ono of present sclf-coulu interfere- in the course- of this lie- . , 1 public to greatness and power abroad, P"11"'1 them, as has been amply I'ouuded ou popular liberty and the unques-1 demonstrated by the attrocities perpetrated tioned sovereignty oi tlio people.

The war which hs now existed for near three years, taxing 11 the Htrength and devotion of the loyal people of the republic to suppress the rebellion, has developed no fact more striking than tho necessity of assimilating all reoccupicd territory before peace can be reposed upon. The intrinsic hostility botween communities dif fering so widely in their social structure reappears constantly in (bo rear of our conquests with more virulence, from the temporary depressions inflicted. Assimilation, and with it permanent peace, can only take place upon tho doing away with that institution upon which the rebellion is predicated, arid from which it derives all of its sympathy and encouragement in the loyal States Nowhere are there now seen cither man or parties embarrassing the prosecution of the war who do not connect therewith nn open hostility to all measures that tend t relieve the country of the slave system. To suppress by force this rebellion, therefore, if such a course were much more practicable than it has been found to be, and leave the cause untouched to breed other rebellions, and enkindle hereafter constant animosities ready, as the present has done, to appeal for solution to the arbitrament of civil war, would be national suicide. Its effect upon tho several States would be even more disastrous, antigonizing them against each other necessarily from the presence of that ir. stitution, around which would cling so many memories of a past conflict and laying waste their fields, depopulating their villages, making all tenures of life aud property utterly iuseeure in the subsequent strife for supremacy that would result between different classes of the community. Ileuce it is that an insistance upon freedom policies, both national and State, presents itself us the supremest duty of the hour a duty uot to be subordinated to any theory of the past or any hesitancy of the present. Indeed, the making of such an issue in the reconquered territory, aud h, those slave States which have adhered hikIoi tho nuuio of guerrilla warfare throughout Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Maryland and Kentucky, and demands a promptitude of action coincident with the distress cutailed by (bo mere existence of a slave system m our midst. Chaugcs ; otherdays and for other reasons, might well have asumed a gradual character, now find iu the perils of the times no excuse for delay, but every incitement to au immediate corrective. To insure, however, the requisite unity and support to the friends of freedom iu the slave States, it is primarily essential that the General Government should adopt, in its civil, no less than its military administration, a line of action thaf wil! recognize, so far as may be authorized, freedom to be the true basis of loyalty, aud give to tho commnities involved sufficient guarantees that there will be no rctroges-sion in the future; but, on the contrary, an effective carrying out of the principles embodied in the civil code uudcr tho confiscation act, aud in the military direction by the proclamation of January 1st, 1663. This is uecessary because few will be disposed to engage in the work of effecting those changes needed for any thorough assimilation or any positive uprooting of Slavery, if they are to be left unsupported to reap their reward from the slave power, reinstated as dominant in either States or nation. Hut it is to be remarked in this connection, that the General Goverumeut has assumed the attitude of awaiting a full and further signification of the popular thought, and this can only be elicited by the friends of freedom throughout the slave Stutes making such appeal to the people oftho nation as will rivet their at-teutiou upou tho greatdaiigersimpeuding, arouso them to manifestions of sympathy with the cause of human liberty, and leave no room for any doubt as to the course that should bo pursued by rulers solicitous to reflect their will. For Jhe(se reasons; for the promotion of a more cordial understanding betweeu those Who eoncur in the necessity of adopt- ing freedom policies; for the more effective initiation of local State organizations to accomplish the work of emancipation; and for such mutual interchange ofopmioosand experiences as may make tho teachings of the past profit in the guidance of the present, an invitation is hereby extended to the friends of freedom residing in all the slave Stutes, to meet in mass convention at the city of Louisville, Kchtucky, on the 8th day of January next coming. Those favorable to such assemblages are requested to take measures in tbeir respective district's for an ttindaac8 that will teeure tkew reprcretifafien.
