I know not when; bnt this I know, That it will surely come td me, The day which cornea to all below, Which every child of earth must see"; For o'er his spirit none hath powt-r To keep it in that last dread hour. I know that I shall watch the gun. As I have watched him many day; In gold behind the bills go down, , Gilding with splendor all the way; I shall not tee him set again, , Yet this I shall not ktfbw e'ea then. . Some uisrht, I know, the shades will gather ' ; The dus'iy shadows dl'e'per grow, The silent stars come ont together, The luit that I shtfll see below; No voice from out that distant sky Will warn me that my end is n'ghV Borne Spring time I shall mnrk the ttccs Grow daily greener o'er my head, And in the Autumn 1 shall fed The dead leaves rustle ueiitr fciy trend Nor know next Autums's winds' sball come To strow the dry leaves 6n my tomb. And then) will bo a ihirkt'tictl room, And they will atch my taintost bi-cath, And silence, and gathering glooirtj Will full from nfTtlie wings of Dfi'iilh; 1 shall not hear the muffled to'ne, The silent whisper, "He is gdue." But trial this last great ohiingo shall come, In hidden from us ond 'lis besi; If I be ready for my home, It inatUw not how soon I rert; Death will be but the end of sorrrw,' Dawn c'f an endless, heavenly morrow.

So we long ago united with those of oar City in formally proclaiming. A good citiron may seek to reform the Government, or to amend tiie Constitution, bat not to overthrow the former; while any one is at perfect liberty to oppose and seek to supersede the Admin;slration., The latter is, in its riiltufe, subject to frequent and radical ohsnges, while the Government fondly designed to lust forever. You say you ure only opposing tbe Administration, which you have a perfect light tci do; and that you do this intend-. in io sustain, uphold, and pcrpetunt-the Government. These be fair words: lot US contrast them wilh your acts: The rebele are fighting to overthrow, hot the Administration, bu( the Government. You frequently tell us that they prefer Lincoln os our President, and want hiin re-elocted. You know that they deliberately opeied and cleared lie way f.ir his former eleet.inn by divid and breaking: up the Democratic Convention and party at Charleston iu 18CO. They are fighting, then, not to subvert the Administration which you hate, but the Government which jod profess to love; ' How, then, is it that they com-ihand sj'mtfch of your sympathy and fa vor? ' How is if thai they nevrr can do any thinp; that incites your reprobation? li(?W is it that in your speeches, your addresses, your resolves, your editorials, the deadly, fighting enemies of the Government never figure as your enemies, While tbe Adntinistratiom a thing of the moment is constantly assailed with the most intense, absorbing nialigmtj? Why is it that nothing that is or can be doue to sustain the Government ever commands yoiir approval? Money in large amounts' must be had; yet it is notorious that every lonri that is offered, every plan for replenishing the T(,cftHury,encou'ntcM your deadly hostility. Two of the' ablest and beat men in tJi'a country have appealed to it, caclt.as Secretary of ttb treasury, for leans in this, that, and the othdf shaped have tried every conceivable device for nt tracting capital into the public' Coffers; but neither has been able for years to command your hearty co-operation; while most of you have done yo'rfr utmost to discredit the Government ritfd bankrupt hi Finnnces. Men in thousands must be' had; but no linn ever dovised tYf conceived could .o-mrc your hearty co-operation in raising them. While it was possible to raise them in sufficiency by volunteering, vou demanded a draft as more just and equal, and when it became neocsssfv to draft, j6ii raised a fierce howl against conscription, and insisted that enough might have UzH had without. Of ihe Million last iieb&, not Two Hun lr'sd Thousand (as yoif well know) could have been bad, had not a draft impended; yet ystl para ded t?ic few actually drafted at the net result of conscription, though you were perfectly aware that most of the residue were pfocured as substitutes or bj bounties, ntfd would never have been b'aV but for that conscription which you have tried to destroy. Any man msy oppose tho Administration yet be a true patriot nil 1 loyal supporter of the Government. But he who exults over and magnifies Rebel successes, while he f'e-littles or discredits those of the National foroes who doss' his utmost to encourage and strengthen the Rebels and to dishearten and paralyzo the loyal can Ac be a patriot?

The whole pretension of that country to prevent by lorco thB separation of tho States' must be abandon ed, which will be equivalent to an avowal that our enemies were wrong from tlie first, and, of course, as they wagod a causeless and wicked war upon us, they ourrht in strict justice' to be required, according to usage in such cases, to re imburse to us the whole of our1 expenses and losses in the course of that war.

In other words, unless we can destroy or scatter their armies, aud break up their government, we can have no peace, and if w'& can do that, then we o'riglit not only to extort from them our own full terms nnd ample acknowledgement of thoir wrong, but also a handsome indemnity for our trouble and ex pense caused to us by theireriine. Dr.MOC!lATIC FNTHtSIAS.tl. How is the enthusiasm to be genera'ed upon the Chicago nominations! Will the Peace Democrats go into fits over the nomination of a General who represents that he would havo conquered the rebel lion if something had not always prevented? Who wished to begin the war with a draft, although moro mcri were volunteering than tho Government was willing to accept, or could nrm. Who desired to expand the regular army to dimension's atVffininnt tn c.ntrv on the war. Who in stituted the most arbitrary arrests, and" nVilitary interference with elections ?ho propcsod to the President, in his "comprche'nsive-poTlcy" letter, that we shouid sot free the slaves 'n tho progress of our armies, and uNo them in our military service. Will the Peace Democrats, lately so rampant, acquire the zeal of new converts over the nomination? Will' the War Democrats gW with enthusiasm' over tlie nomination of a military hero who never won a victory or smellod gunpowder firad in anger? Whose prosecution of the war looked so much like a prosecution of the parposo to exhaust, our resources without results that some of his best frleadsso un'derstool it. Who announces his purpose to drive the enomy to the wall when they tall back, and try to hold them in check n soon as tlicy make a stand. Who rum on a platform whose only declaration In regard to tho war is for an armistice without any alternative, and of course, upon the Confederate terms. Can- the War Dcmooraey genorate any enthusiasm over a war candidate who is limited by the platferxn to proseoutiog the war by an armistice? , Yet impossible as the task socms, it must be done, and therefore the machinery must bo put in motion. The Roman Augurs could uot look each oth?r in the face without laughing; but surely there is nothing on either side to laugh at, when the Peace Dumocrscy aioict the War Democracy to the platform, whose sole war declaration is for an armistice absolutely, and to the candidate who is the very embodiment iif a suspension of wur on our side.- Cincinnati Gazette.

And hers there a youth, mora uufortuuatc, who will steal (twny from his comrades and lrturniur, in bitterness of soul, "Ah, God help me.!" My father was a copperhead!"How the 3IcClPllahi.es Conducted tlie War. (From tboC'hicaga Tribune ) Iri a lengthy articlo on the political situation, the New York Ikndd says: ' Tho attack upon Suintcr roused the people of the loyal States an oua man ot the side of the Uuion. the resultof which was the fusion of till parties in uiipport of the new administration. There was, at all events, no active opposition party in ihc field in the elections of the loyal States eff 1801. "But in 18(12 them was a greatre-a-tion. Such were the blunders and fhort-coming and deplorable failures and dis asters of the administration in the conduct of the war that year that the Democracy, upon a platform of a flioro vigorous prosecution of tile wir. carried, and by marked majorities, al! the great Ceutral f-'tates, from the ITudson to the Mississippi river. But. blinded by their unexpected successes of 1802, the Democratic leaders in 1SG3 took the party off their war platform ti' tho bold aud suicidal policy of peaco at any price. What were tho results? They are furnished in the elections throughout tbe loyal States of The people, abandoned by the Democratic party, return to the Admin istration, as tho last resort, or a vigorous prosecution of the wor and as the shorten way to peace. This is a tolerable fair sta:cmcnt of the case" but the Herald omits to mention an important fact. The blunders and short comings, and deplorable failures, and dis-aster of tho administration in the cons duct of the war in 18G2, was solely be-cause tho war was conducted, accorning to the ideas and the policy of the Democracy. For the sako of securing a f'tsion of parties on the support of the "Democrats," Mr. Lincoln let the latter run tho machine pretty much as they pleased. Ie placed ;he soldierb exclusively under the control of conservative Generals. Gen. McClellan' commanded all the army of the Potomac. Bucll commanded the troops in the aftay of the Ohio, and Gen. Ilallcck in the army of the Mississ:ppi. They managed the war ou the most ap provod conservative, "democratic" and slavery-saving principles. The rebels wcro hurt as little as possible, and the "devine institution" was sacredly guard' ed. If a nigger got loose, ho was seized with an "iron hand," and forthwith returned to the rebel master. During this memorable campaign, our Government employed a million of boI-diers. What was the result of the great experiment of conducting the war on "Democratic" Conservative principles? Tho Ikratd declares that it was "a caroo paign of blunders, shortcomings and do- plorablo failures nnd disasters." And. the chief actor in that shocking campaign was Gen. George B. McClellan, whom iho Chicago Convention bas nominated as their candidate for President, and whose sole political stock in trade consists of the "blunders" fie 6ommitted, the "disasters" b inflicted" on' our cause, and the "short comings" of whioh he was guilty. He is thought to' be an availahlo candidate, and "their only hope," simply because be played into the band of the rebels, and brought ruin, disaster and disgrace on tho Federal ciuse If atiy Copperhead can name any Other claims ho has on their gratitude and Support, we want him to trot them out. He will be entitled to patent on them as the first discoverer, Democrats We hear it stated that some persons who call themselves Demo crats, are talklns of resisting the draft We don't expect to eee them do this, but should the attempt be made by such ni are warring against the Union, wo expect to see that th "overt act," will bo treat ed a the lawiof our country p?esorib And left it'be bornft in miud, tlijrt if dflni- ocrats will continue to hinder the Govern- tneut from putting down the rebellion by speaking aud votitg, they need ndt wonder that tie rebellion is' prolonged, and 'bat the Government, risks them to enter tiie service. ' There is not a atritosman, In tho country, unless he is more of a partisan than a patriot, who does believe aud aver that the rebellion would ldng since have becu suppressed had oot the party in the North, called Democrttic, hot given it uid and comfort, This is a plain fact, there can he no ufistaking the result of the action of Democrats in the matter. Patriotism is as scarce among the leaders of the democracy, as loyalty td theUnion ii among Rebel Generals. Zanetvilli Courier. Gen. Logan's Official Dispatch. Washington. August 17.

I have the honor to report that in pursuance of orders I moved my commaud iu position on tho right of tho 17th Army Corps, which was ou tho extreme right of the army in the Geld.' On the night and moruiug of tlie ' 27th aud 28th iust., lud duriug my advance in line of battle to a luoro desirable position, was uict by rebel iufauiry Iroui Pardee's aud Lou's corps, who made a desperate and deiei mined attack at 11.30 a. m., orl the 28th. My liuo was only protected by logs and railes hastily thrown n 1'ruut of it. Tim tirft onset was received and checked, and the Little lasted till 3 o'clock p. m.; duriug that time six successive charges were mudo which were gallantly ropu.sed each time with fearful loss to the enemy. Later ir the evening my lines were as-saulted vigorously, but each time with like resi!t.

Wools, Harrow and Smith, who wore in command, are ontit-tied to equal credit for their gallarit conduct, and skill in repelling assault. My losses are 100 killed, 492 wounded rind 63 missing, aggregate 672. There wore about 1,500 or'2.00tf musk ets captured, 106 prisoners exclusive of 78 wounded, who have been romoved to hospitals, and are being taken cafe of by our surgeons. Five hundred and sixty-five rebels up to this time have been burried, add about two buudred are supposed to be yet u"u-buricd. Large numbers were undoubtedly carried away during tho night, as the enemy did not withdraw until neiirly d:iyli"b't. The enemy's loss could not have bSca, in my judgment, less that! 6,-900 or 7,000.

Let no' laboring man forget that the Sotith rebellod for the purpose of founding an empire upon chained, degiaded aud dishonored labor; that while the strntrla for a oenturv had been , to ele- veto manual industry by beating down aristocracy, the Sou'th has produoad aD the bloodsLod of the' past throe years in an attempt to redtfeo labor to a iower condition irt Ameaic'a than it had ever reached iu Europe. Let the working mail tflso bear in mind the fa'tft that the Copperheads have from' the Unit dono every thing io thoir power to aid these traitors id their effort to debaso (He toiler. And lot it be ospeoially femombored that tho Opposition of theso Copperheads to the measures necessary fof Conducting the war to a Bucoessful issue' has made drafting necessary; for had it not been then there would have been and tnore still would bo volunteers enough to fill all quotas. Therefore, tho Copperheads are responsible for dragging the poor man and the honest toiler for a living from his family by the draft; for have they not done everything possible to pre vent voluntcoi enlistments? The Conclusion from such facts is that every laborer should regard the t!op-perheads Norll as well as the traitors South, as his deadly enomies. Exchange. HEsivr ir ov vAmu It is more atjd more apparent that the Copperheads are contemplating bloody work against tbe draft in many localities Thero is, however,' rta reason for alarm beeaute cleft too cowardly to defend their country, and so base as to soeretly collude with traitors, will lack the pluck and CDora ge necessary to place tbimsclvo. b ruoh a daoirtfous gilualloin there is mbre goiiig on io prparing fur resistance that is repotted. Much more news of that kind is received by business rtien from thuir correspondents than gets into the papers. For . example, a beok publisher of our city, yesterday, received a lettnrfrom Clearfield county, Pennsylvania, from which we are allowed to take the following: ' ' "The people bere are all crazy about tho coming draft. They have already been holding meetings to prepare to resist it. Some of them rro spending the Iat eevt to procure fircarmt Ex-fov crnor Bigler is at the head of it. . I hope it will not bo long before be receives what he justly deserves." Behold the position of the Peace party! They lift up their bowlings to Olympian bights on account of the slaughter that is necessary to save the Government, nnd at the same time propose io fill another ocean with human gore by imitating the traitors in rebelling ugainsi the laws of the land. Cincinnati Gazette ?! Union Labor Victor j! , Loyal men, Union men, may dodee this way aid that if they will, may fritter awnv thoir strength by non-action and inr'ifferenie if they will, but if they do they cannot escape the consequences. Without union, stt ring, speedy nnd complete union amons themselves, when it ' j too late, tho enemy will be upon them. Immediate, complete and thorough ar- rnniition is imperatively recesssry. When that, is accomplished, the Union hots, brnucrht face to face nnd compacted ti one solid, united muss, the proper la bnr will givo us the victory. Without such union, nnd united labor, defeat may come at last, And, pray toll, what Is in volved in defeat? Loyal, thoughtful men, cannot evade the conclusion that defeat means de'tntction, ruin, the sue. cess of the rebellion, nnd despotism to every free thought and every noble impulse Whatever may bo the result at Chicago, all the rebels in tho North, nil tho open or secret friends of Southern traitors are at work to defeat tbe Union stiiise at tbe'co'mirig' election.'" Whoever else shall be cheated, if tbe Democracy succeed, they will not be cheated. ' They piny with loaded lice, and make a sure game, if those with whom they co-o'tcrato come t nt nhead! Honest and simplemen who coallcMe with them maybe cheated, but these men will not; they work for tbe rebels and make the rebel interest the price of their votes! An overwhelming Union defeat in tbe North, means no more and no less than the triumph of tbe rebellion. All the stuff abont "peace," the cessation of "this bloody and unrighteous war," "settlement by compromise," &c, rncars only, let the rebels ask what they will, it shall be rrranted. If they demand separation and independence, so let it be: If they de mand the subjugation of tho loyal men of 'ho North to the rule and domination of the Southert. rebels, so let. it be! Whoso runs may read. Are union men ready for such a result? Are they ready for a repudiation of the national debt, and the payment of the debt of the Southern Coir fedoracy? Are they ready to have their bonds, notes and all representatives of value wiped out? Are they ready for chains and bondage for themselves and thoir posterity? It they are not, let there bo nnion, organization, labor and victory, Men in a crisis like the present, must bear atd forbear, suffer and labor nnd wait, or they are unworthy the example nnd the heritage of their fathers.

It means that the Radicals of Mi souri and Maryland shall either leave their country or cease their work of freedom. It means that the Fugitive Slave law shall be restored, and the most thorough obedience to it guaranteed by the, North. It meant that the Drod Scott dociBion shall bo taken as the beginning of a new judiciul interpre tation, that shall make si tvery tbe most constitutional ot all the facta in our political organization. It means that the rc-opeuing of tho slave trade, and perhaps tho union of all foreign Powers in avow ed opposition to our barbarism. It! means that the slaveholder shall be permitted to travel over the North at pleasure with bis slaves, and look disdainfully upon us us he passes, taunting Us with a total destitu tion f the seuse of manhood.

' He will not appoint Commissioners to negotiate for peace and Union.' - . hi ( i -..-( ' A declaration for an armistice and peace, and agsinst continuing the war id' any event is a inosi remarkable performance for a party platform for the GoerA-ment in a time of war It takes two par-tics to make an armistice nnd to make peace. This is dimply a declaration that the. Democratic party, when it. gets. control of the Government, will make the armistice nnd tho r eace, and that wheth er tho Confederates will continue the war or not, it will fight no longer. Its policy has no alternative but an armistice. ' It is a queer coincident, and Btrikingly illustrative of the wisdom of such platform making,- that just as this ,-platforra has with infinite pains beeti delivered to the world,'. Mr. Benjamin's, dispatch is mndo public, showing Mr. Davis iefu$al of any armistice or peace, or even any ncgotatton for terms for peace, that did not as prerequisite recognize the separation and independence of tbe Confederacy. Jusl as the Democracy party has narrow ed its principles to a declaration for an armistice, comes tbe information from tbe Confederates that the armistice has beon offered and tbey have rejected it, unless they can have independence first. So the Democratic party goes into the canvas on one sole issue, iwhioh has already beon tried and exploded. Cm. Gazette. What Gen. Grant Sars.
