J DaAa Paths* :.I suppose you are aux- ous lo bear what I have been doing since uy Iaat. I will endeavor to give an onl¬ ine of my adventures. My last was dated lug. 25th. On the 30th we were muster- id for pay, according to "regulations," vhich require that we be mustered every wo months. In the evening ten of ns went down with Japt. Merrill, of tbo Engineer's Depart- Dent on "Roaey V staff, and crossing on be pontoon bridge, we took some meas- irements with a tape line while the Cap- ain took a sketch of the position. Sept. 3d.-Had a mounted packed iospec- lon, in order to see that we didn't carry .ny extra Inggage. The boys rather beat hem thongh, some weariog two pair of tame or blouses until the inspection was iver. Sept. 4th.-We broke camp at nine o'clock nd took up the line of march, fording the Tennessee, four miles below Bridgeport, .nd taking an easterly course camped at he foot of Raccoon Mountain, aix miles rom the river. Sept. 5..We were packed and all.ready o resume the march, when the order was ;ountermanded and we were sent out after orage. At thla place there was a saltpetre iave of unexplored limits where the enemy lad been getting a great deal of aaltpetre rom. In the morning "Itosey" and staff vera in it a distance of two or three miles, tod were loat for a while. In the after- loon I visited it; it was rather a curious iffair, of narrow passages running out in ill directions, some joioing the passage I vas in agaio, or leading off into unexplor¬ ed regions; here and there we would find juraelvea in large rooms containing fine italactites and natural sculpture, or it night be crawling on our handa and knees through narrow, low passages. In one place we found we were crawling in pure ime ti if It bad been burnt in a kiln. Sept. fltb. We resumed tho march log- {log at the wagons until ten o'clock ut night; there wero a doxen of our wagons that we cowld not get up the mountain un¬ til daylight as the harness of the first team waa all broken and could not be repaired nntil morning. Sept. 7th..Continued tho march and ar¬ rived at Trenton, La., in tba evening with¬ out any apeclal adventures. Wa camped about a hundred and fifty rarda from an Iron furnace, about the sise of that one at Martlnaville. It waa owned ia part by the "Confederate States.'' The lire brirk used in its construction "run the blockade" from KugL-uul. Sept. 8th .Wo wore blil^'all day putting np tents, oloablng our arms and ourselves, and petting forage for bur hprseg. Srpt. Oib..Was awakened nt 12 o'clock, miduigbt, and with Corporal Loan anil two others started with despatches from Gen. Rostcraua to Ocn. McCook, twenty-fire miles sontfa. west at Wiuatoo, Ala. We ar- rived at McCook'a Headquarters at 0:45 A. M. After taking breakfast with hit es¬ cort be gave us despatches for "Roaey " and wo returned, arriving late ia the evening, having stopped to get our diooer in a aweet potatoe pardon. St.pt. 10th .Reveille sounded at one o'clock A. M ; at four we started for Chat¬ tanooga with "Rosey," arriving at nine Every street and road in tbo town was lull of suldiers, passing through with colors flying and bands plavlng. Wo lay around town all day until three o clock, when Col. Palmer having picked n camp for us fiva miles from town sent us there. Wo camped on the Hick's place, a large plantation owned by Mr^Hicks, wbo was forced to go south with the enemy, but left word with bis ovorseer tbat we were welcome to every thing the place There was aboot two hundred obickens on the place, of which I got two; also lots of apples, aud plolity of hay and ibeep, oats for our burses, aod a spring of the lineal water I ever tasted. We had just got to bed a few minutes when a messenger from the Colonel, who bad reinaiued in towo, arrived with orders for us to pack up immediately and return to town, lor the enemy were in our neigh borbood and had captured tbrea companies of cavalry a abort time before. The Colonel coon arrived to superintend, and we wcro drawn up in line on the r..ad while the wagons were getting ready. We tben began to retreat with three companies as a rear guard and arrived at Chattanoo¬ ga at 1 o clock, A. M, I bare lines heard that the enemy touk possession of tbo camp a half hour after we left. Ocn. Rosecrana said be never eipected us to get back to town with our wagons sod everything safe. Sept. llih..When we got to town we expected to camp for the night, but after fitting on our horses in front of Head¬ quarters an hour, our compauy went out ibis road five miles and were on picket until eight o'clock, A. M., when we went torward, taking the Ufayotte road a quar¬ ter of a mile ahead and continuing on it or two miles run on the rebel pickeU and sxebaoged shots with ibom. We then fell back to where we had been >n picket until a brigade of iufaotry and I battery came up, when we advanced igain, the infantry throwing out skirmish¬ es and our company acting as Hankers. We drove them two miles, when the >rigado took up a position and wo returned o camp, as both us and our horses were ibout played out. As we were returning ve beard tho artillery open, and have since leard tbat the brigade drove them eight nilea that day. Sept. 13ib . We were sent oat here and losted as couriers. This line runs to Gen. Jrittenden's fceadquartera. Every but and >arn around this neighborhood for ten niles bave people in tbem, wbo moved rom town when Gen. Wilder shelled it. I'art of Wilder's men came in last even- og with fourteen of their wounded and ?ver forty prisoners. When we first came to Chattanooga ev- ry road, leading from tho direction tba neroy took, to town was full of deserters, ind I saw squads numbering from twenty o thirty coming in at once. There was pretty hard fightiog in front esterday, favorable for us. The position Is: McCook at Rome, 'bomas at Lafayette and Crittenden in he the neighborhood of Ringgold. Hoping ibis may find you well, I am, rilh my love to all, Your afTectiooato son, W. W. The Array of the Cumberland. rrom the Cincinnati (turtle. It is too early yet to pass a decided pinion upon the situation in the Depart- aent of the Cumberland. We are well waro tbat the crisis may not havo passed, ud that until Gen. Rosecrans is heavily einforced ho cannot be regarded entirely afe, even in his defensive position ; and le certainly will not be able to assnme the (Tensive. But it is probable that by tbis Ime reinforcements have reached blm hat from Grant's army on oue side, and Iqroside's on the other, he haB been ! trengtbened. With these troops at band e will be entirely safe, and any attempt ' a dislodge him will fail; and if further ' ¦me la gained, the Army of the Cumbcr- ind will bave a strength that it should ' ave had when it crossed the Tennessee 1 strength that will give it irresistible I ower when its columns are again put in jrward motion. But while the Issues of f the battles of Saturday and Sunday lay be regarded as undecided ; and while ae position of Gen. Kosecraos still affords 1 rounds for apprehensions, there are facts ' onnected with the lata movement, which re valuable in forming an opinion as to ! le net results of the contest thus far. It may be stated then, that if Oen. Rose- rans shall succeed in holding Chutanoo- ' a, he will havo gained the immediate ob- let of bis late forwaed movement from i rldgeport; while on the other hand, if ragg fails to drive the army of tho Com. crland across the Tennessee, it will be a ] irtual rebel defeat both in a military and ¦oral point of view. It has already been tated in tbeso columns by our well inform- d correspondent, tbat Chattanooga was, rith Gen. Rosecrans, tho objective point*, bat place be meant to possess and bold nd thus, in connection with Gen. Bornslde' 9 drive the rebels off the last loot of Ten- easee soil. Beyond this bis present plans id not extend. This is manifest; for with bo force at command, a forward movement nto the center of Georgia would not be ndertaken by a prudent General, and Gen. losecrans, it is well knows, Js not only rave and skillful, but nlso prudent. To losaess Chattanooga, however, and then or the time being to act upon tbe defen- ivo, constituted tbe immediate plnn, tbe xecution of wbich was entered upon when is crossed the Tennessco at Bridgeport. Cootrary to expectations, Bragg, instead if holding Chattanooga, commenced the ivacuatloti of that place as soon as Gen. losecrans got possession of the lords at Jridgeport. The moment tbe latter was iscompllsbed Chattanooga was Hanked, ind was untenable except for a superior irmy. This Bragg did not have at tbat ime. Consequently he quietly retired, sreatlng the impression tbat do opposition iras to be offered, eveu If Rosecrans should lush fall advance further South; and the loestion, aa generally viewed, was not irhether tbe rebel general would make a slaml, but whether bi. army, as a wboU would be able to Mcapa our ool"»ni which bid been disposed with a new u gel possession of the road. 1"dl°« 0"'? Chattanooga. But recent events baTO mad, plain the object of tbe enemy In evacua- ling Chattanooga. Bragg knew that beavj reinforcements weroraoving from Mm South. Tbe.e ooold not reach bin If he remained at Chattanooga, before Geo eral ltoiecrans would bate ppssesslot of bis lines ; «od he therefore decided U RO out to meet his reinforcements. He expected, doubtless, that Eosscrans, finding Chattanooga ewaou**»d. would move in. The late battle-field, Obaltaooogfl and Bridgeport or Stevenson, form a til- angle, the longest side being from Chatta¬ nooga to Stevenson. Had Rosecrans, tbcrilore, moved directly to Chattanooga, Bragg with his combined armies oould have taken possession of his communica¬ tion., and oompelled Rosecrans to come out aod attack him on ground of bis own choosing. Roseorans, however, spoiled this strategy. He took a position which covered both his communications and Chaianooga, and acting npon the defensive, compelled Bragg to attack bit* °"b'' ground. The enemy, knowing that be was fn superior strength, assumed »"e offensive. Wo know the result. Tbe rebels drew upon all their armies for the pur¬ pose of defeating Rosecrans. They fought two days, and the army or the Cumberland, under the circumstanced, been defeated, it would have been no disgrace. That it was not defeated is owing to superior generalship and the bravery of the soldiers. Tho re- ¦ult of tho contest so far, thsn. may he regarded a. a substantial Union victory. Whether Rosecrans will succeed in main¬ taining his position for which be has fought two desperate battles, will depend upon reinforcements; for it is hardly P'°b»bl? that the enemy has been so badly punished that ho will not renew the attempt to drive the Union army across tho Teoness- see. This question, however, a Tew days will decide, and If, under all tho circum¬ stances, we bold East Tennesseo. and the Army of the Potomac takes prompt advan¬ tage of the absence of tbe troops sent to Bragg's assistance, tbe grand result will be a blow to the rebellion equal, at least, In severity, to any It has heretolore re- ceived. Gen. Holler on ll.alorlng «!». Union. General Butler addressed a large Union meeting at Harrisbnrg on Saturday even¬ ing. In tbe course of his remarks be said: "You thay thiok it heresy, hot for one I do not want Ibis Union reconstructed on the old basis. Suppose you would wake uo to-morrow morning and learn ror a [act that all the rebels had laid down their arms aud consented to return to tbe Union un¬ der Us condition in 1860. Honest Demo¬ crats say tbey want the Union as it was. In that case you would bave to send to Knglaod for Mason and Slidell and put then back in Congress; you would have to ¦end to Richmond for Benjamin and pot bim back in tbe Senate; you woold have to send for Jeff Davis aod put him back ia Ibe Senate; you wonld have to send for tlenerai Lee and put bim at tbo head or bis old regiment of United States cavalry. " 'You might reconstruct it without that' says my honest Democratic friend. Ah, then, you don't want it exactly as it was* If tbe Southern seceding Slates were to come back into tbe Union as It was tens of millions of debts would be upon ns, and rebel script would have to be mot bj payment as lawful money. Therefore do not shrink from me because l do not want to see the Union exactly as it was. Do you want Western Virginia, with all ber free institutions, thrown back into Eastern Virginia? Do you want M.S. souri io her original condition? Do you want to see the men, black in skin, who have fought so nobly at Port. Hudson and Sumter, sent baok in chains to the cotton and rice fields again? if you do; I don t ^I'belung to the country, to tbo Union, >ud to tbo government, and it il the only parly I now know. [Cheers ] **hea we let fairly through our present difficulties you aud I may ait down and dlscoss our jld party issues, drawing what partisan ioes we please. But now every man should ibiure party; old ideas are good, grand ind noble, but old ideas when they do not it tbe times sbould be abandoned for tbo imc. No Union man wants to abrogate he old constitution. It is good enough. The only question is. how oan we take back >n absconding member of the firm under he old articles of agreement. "I am not for the Union as it was, bo- :anse It cannot be reconstructed. If we .outd bring tho seceding states back Into be Union in every respect, I would do it, jut it cannot be done. Who can bring >ack tho gallant dead on tho banks of the .ototnsc, Rappahannock and Obickahom- nv? Wbo can wipe away the tears of tbe vidow and fatherless ? Who can wipe out he national debt? Who can bring back be prosperity of 1860? After all that, I ,m With you for tbe reconstruction of the Jnion."

Tlio Jhief Enginoer of tbe Pacific Railroad has IuBt issued his first annual report. Con- racta for tho first fifty miloa from Sacra- nonto hitvo boon lot, and work is going >n bravely. Materials for the great bridge jver tho American have arrived, tho foun-1 lation of two piers oompleted, and the '.offer-dam around tho contra pier driven. Six miles, comprising the fifth to Mie tenth sections, are ready for tho traok. The next aix miles will bo ready next month. Six thousand tons of ron bavo been purcased, and will bo deuvorea at tho rate of five hundred tons a month. Much of it ia already on tho way 'rom the coat, as aro also the turn tables for the llrst fifty miles, six looomotivos, six pas¬ senger cars, two baggage oars, and twon- tv-five freight oars. The reasons given why tho Central Pacific Railroad Compa¬ ny did not use tho Saeramonto Valley Railroad for its loogth, aro briefly, that it ia built of English iron, is mortgaged for 1430,000, and is oight miles longer than tho now road, must bo built of Amor- oan iron, and bo ablo to give the United States first mortgages. Tho estimated oost of tho first divisoin of fifty miloe, oomploto, is $3,321,496.

They are at ooce the most speedy, strengthening beeltb restorer iver dieoovered. It requires hut s single trial to understand this. Their purity can always be relied upon. They are com¬ posed of the celebrated Oalleaya Bark, Cascarllla Bark, Dsndellon, Chamomile Flowery Lavender Flowers, W.ntergreea, Anise, Clover-buds, Oraage- peel, Snake-root, Caraway, Coriander, Burdock, S.T.1860.X* &C. They are especially recommended to clergymen, public speakers, and persons of literary habits and sedentary Ufe, who require free digestion, a relish fftr food, and clear mental (acuities. Delicate femalee and weak persons are certain to find in these Bitters wbat they have eo long looked for. They purify, strengthen and invigorate. They create a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to change of water and diet. They overcome effects ofdissipation and late hours, They strengthen the system and enliven the mind, They prevent miasmatic nod intermittent fevers. They purijy the breath ana acidity of the stomach. They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation. They cure Diarrhea, Cholera and Cholera Morbus. They cure LiverComplaint and Nervous Headache They are the beet Bitten In the world. They make the weak man strong, and are exhausted na¬ ture's great restorer. The following startling and emphatic statements I can be seen at our office. Letter of Her. H. F. Cuiti^Cbaplain of the 107th I New-York Regiment: Mia AoQUiaCasKK, March 4th, 1863. Owing to the great exposure and terrible decora position after the battle of Antletam, I was utterly prostrated and eery sick. My stomach would not retain medicine. An article called Plantation Bit- tots, prepared by Dr. Drake, of New-York, was pre- eeribed to give me strength and an appetite. To mv great surprise they gave me immediate relief. Two bottles almost allowed me to Join my regiment. . . . . I have since seen them used in many cases, aud am free to eay, for hospital or private purposes I know of nothing like them. Rav. K. F. Cuki, Chaplain. Letter from the Rev. N. K. Gilph, St. Clalrsville, Pa.; UajmucKK:.You were kind enough on n former occasion to send me a half dozen bottles of Planta¬ tion Bitters for $3 60.

Monday, September 14, 18C3. JDaAa Paths* :.I suppose you are aux-

ous lo bear what I have been doing sinceuy Iaat. I will endeavor to give an onl¬ine of my adventures. My last was datedlug. 25th. On the 30th we were muster-id for pay, according to "regulations,"vhich require that we be mustered everywo months.In the evening ten of ns went down with

Japt. Merrill, of tbo Engineer's Depart-Dent on "RoaeyV staff, and crossing on

be pontoon bridge, we took some meas-

irements with a tape line while the Cap-ain took a sketch of the position.Sept. 3d.-Had a mounted packed iospec-

lon, in order to see that we didn't carry.ny extra Inggage. The boys rather beathem thongh, some weariog two pair oftame or blouses until the inspection was

iver.

Sept. 4th.-We broke camp at nine o'clocknd took up the line of march, fording theTennessee, four miles below Bridgeport,.nd taking an easterly course camped at

he foot of Raccoon Mountain, aix milesrom the river.Sept. 5..We were packed and all.ready

o resume the march, when the order was

;ountermanded and we were sent out after

orage. At thla place there was a saltpetreiave of unexplored limits where the enemylad been getting a great deal of aaltpetrerom. In the morning "Itosey" and staffvera in it a distance of two or three miles,tod were loat for a while. In the after-loon I visited it; it was rather a curiousiffair, of narrow passages running out inill directions, some joioing the passage Ivas in agaio, or leading off into unexplor¬ed regions; here and there we would findjuraelvea in large rooms containing fineitalactites and natural sculpture, or it

night be crawling on our handa and kneesthrough narrow, low passages. In one

place we found we were crawling in pureime ti if It bad been burnt in a kiln.

Sept. fltb. We resumed tho march log-{log at the wagons until ten o'clock ut

night; there wero a doxen of our wagonsthat we cowld not get up the mountain un¬

til daylight as the harness of the first teamwaa all broken and could not be repairednntil morning.

Sept. 7th..Continued tho march and ar¬

rived at Trenton, La., in tba evening with¬out any apeclal adventures.Wa camped about a hundred and fifty

rarda from an Iron furnace, about thesise of that one at Martlnaville. It waaowned ia part by the "Confederate States.''

The lire brirk used in its construction "runthe blockade" from KugL-uul.

Sept. 8th .Wo wore blil^'all day puttingnp tents, oloablng our arms and ourselves,and petting forage for bur hprseg.

Srpt. Oib..Was awakened nt 12 o'clock,miduigbt, and with Corporal Loan anil twoothers started with despatches from Gen.Rostcraua to Ocn. McCook, twenty-firemiles sontfa. west at Wiuatoo, Ala. We ar-rived at McCook'a Headquarters at 0:45A. M. After taking breakfast with hit es¬cort be gave us despatches for "Roaey " andwo returned, arriving late ia the evening,having stopped to get our diooer in a aweetpotatoe pardon.

St.pt. 10th .Reveille sounded at oneo'clock A. M ; at four we started for Chat¬tanooga with "Rosey," arriving at nineEvery street and road in tbo town was lullof suldiers, passing through with colorsflying and bands plavlng.Wo lay around town all day until three

o clock, when Col. Palmer having picked n

camp for us fiva miles from town sent usthere. Wo camped on the Hick's place, a

large plantation owned by Mr^Hicks, wbowas forced to go south with the enemy,but left word with bis ovorseer tbat wewere welcome to every thing o« the placeThere was aboot two hundred obickens onthe place, of which I got two; also lots ofapples, aud plolity of hay and ibeep, oatsfor our burses, aod a spring of the linealwater I ever tasted.We had just got to bed a few minutes

when a messenger from the Colonel, whobad reinaiued in towo, arrived with ordersfor us to pack up immediately and returnto town, lor the enemy were in our neighborbood and had captured tbrea companiesof cavalry a abort time before.The Colonel coon arrived to superintend,

and we wcro drawn up in line on the r..adwhile the wagons were getting ready. Wetben began to retreat with three companiesas a rear guard and arrived at Chattanoo¬ga at 1 o clock, A. M, I bare lines heardthat the enemy touk possession of tbo campa half hour after we left.Ocn. Rosecrana said be never eipected

us to get back to town with our wagonssod everything safe.

Sept. llih..When we got to town weexpected to camp for the night, but afterfitting on our horses in front of Head¬quarters an hour, our compauy went outibis road five miles and were on picketuntil eight o'clock, A. M., when we wenttorward, taking the Ufayotte road a quar¬ter of a mile ahead and continuing on itor two miles run on the rebel pickeU andsxebaoged shots with ibom.We then fell back to where we had been

>n picket until a brigade of iufaotry andI battery came up, when we advancedigain, the infantry throwing out skirmish¬es and our company acting as Hankers.We drove them two miles, when the

>rigado took up a position and wo returnedo camp, as both us and our horses wereibout played out. As we were returningve beard tho artillery open, and have sinceleard tbat the brigade drove them eightnilea that day.Sept. 13ib.We were sent oat here and

losted as couriers. This line runs to Gen.Jrittenden's fceadquartera. Every but and>arn around this neighborhood for tenniles bave people in tbem, wbo movedrom town when Gen. Wilder shelled it.I'art of Wilder's men came in last even-

og with fourteen of their wounded and?ver forty prisoners.When we first came to Chattanooga ev-

ry road, leading from tho direction tbaneroy took, to town was full of deserters,ind I saw squads numbering from twentyo thirty coming in at once.There was pretty hard fightiog in front

esterday, favorable for us.The position Is: McCook at Rome,

The Array of the Cumberland.rrom the Cincinnati (turtle.

It is too early yet to pass a decidedpinion upon the situation in the Depart-aent of the Cumberland. We are wellwaro tbat the crisis may not havo passed,ud that until Gen. Rosecrans is heavilyeinforced ho cannot be regarded entirelyafe, even in his defensive position ; andle certainly will not be able to assnme the(Tensive. But it is probable that by tbisIme reinforcements have reached blmhat from Grant's army on oue side, andIqroside's on the other, he haB been !trengtbened. With these troops at bande will be entirely safe, and any attempt '

a dislodge him will fail; and if further '

¦me la gained, the Army of the Cumbcr-ind will bave a strength that it should '

ave had when it crossed the Tennessee 1

strength that will give it irresistible Iower when its columns are again put injrward motion. But while the Issues off the battles of Saturday and Sundaylay be regarded as undecided ; and whileae position of Gen. Kosecraos still affords 1

rounds for apprehensions, there are facts '

onnected with the lata movement, whichre valuable in forming an opinion as to !le net results of the contest thus far.It may be stated then, that if Oen. Rose-

rans shall succeed in holding Chutanoo- '

a, he will havo gained the immediate ob-let of bis late forwaed movement from i

rldgeport; while on the other hand, ifragg fails to drive the army of tho Com.crland across the Tennessee, it will be a ]irtual rebel defeat both in a military and¦oral point of view. It has already beentated in tbeso columns by our well inform-d correspondent, tbat Chattanooga was,rith Gen. Rosecrans, tho objective point*,bat place be meant to possess and boldnd thus, in connection with Gen. Bornslde'9 drive the rebels off the last loot of Ten-easee soil. Beyond this bis present plansid not extend. This is manifest; for withbo force at command, a forward movementnto the center of Georgia would not bendertaken by a prudent General, and Gen.losecrans, it is well knows, Js not onlyrave and skillful, but nlso prudent. Tolosaess Chattanooga, however, and thenor the time being to act upon tbe defen-ivo, constituted tbe immediate plnn, tbexecution of wbich was entered upon whenis crossed the Tennessco at Bridgeport.Cootrary to expectations, Bragg, instead

if holding Chattanooga, commenced theivacuatloti of that place as soon as Gen.losecrans got possession of the lords atJridgeport. The moment tbe latter was

iscompllsbed Chattanooga was Hanked,ind was untenable except for a superiorirmy. This Bragg did not have at tbatime. Consequently he quietly retired,sreatlng the impression tbat do oppositioniras to be offered, eveu If Rosecrans shouldlush fall advance further South; and theloestion, aa generally viewed, was notirhether tbe rebel general would make a

slaml, but whether bi. army, as a wboUwould be able to Mcapa our ool"»niwhich bid been disposed with a new ugel possession of the road. 1"dl°« 0"'?Chattanooga. But recent events baTO mad,plain the object of tbe enemy In evacua-ling Chattanooga. Bragg knew that beavjreinforcements weroraoving from MmSouth. Tbe.e ooold not reach binIf he remained at Chattanooga, before Geoeral ltoiecrans would bate ppssesslotof bis lines ; «od he therefore decided URO out to meet his reinforcements.He expected, doubtless, that Eosscrans,finding Chattanooga ewaou**»d. wouldmove in. The late battle-field, Obaltaooogfland Bridgeport or Stevenson, form a til-angle, the longest side being from Chatta¬nooga to Stevenson. Had Rosecrans,tbcrilore, moved directly to Chattanooga,Bragg with his combined armies oouldhave taken possession of his communica¬tion., and oompelled Rosecrans to comeout aod attack him on ground of bis own

choosing. Roseorans, however, spoiledthis strategy. He took a position whichcovered both his communications andChaianooga, and acting npon the defensive,compelled Bragg to attack bit* °"b''ground. The enemy, knowing that be wasfn superior strength, assumed »"e offensive.Wo know the result. Tbe rebels drewupon all their armies for the pur¬pose of defeating Rosecrans. Theyfought two days, andthe army or the Cumberland, under thecircumstanced, been defeated, it wouldhave been no disgrace. That it was notdefeated is owing to superior generalshipand the bravery of the soldiers. Tho re-¦ult of tho contest so far, thsn. may heregarded a. a substantial Union victory.Whether Rosecrans will succeed in main¬taining his position for which be has foughttwo desperate battles, will depend uponreinforcements; for it is hardly P'°b»bl?that the enemy has been so badly punishedthat ho will not renew the attempt todrive the Union army across tho Teoness-see. This question, however, a Tew dayswill decide, and If, under all tho circum¬stances, we bold East Tennesseo. and theArmy of the Potomac takes prompt advan¬tage of the absence of tbe troops sent toBragg's assistance, tbe grand result willbe a blow to the rebellion equal, at least,In severity, to any It has heretolore re-ceived.

Gen. Holler on ll.alorlng «!». Union.

General Butler addressed a large Unionmeeting at Harrisbnrg on Saturday even¬

ing. In tbe course of his remarks be said:"You thay thiok it heresy, hot for one I

do not want Ibis Union reconstructed onthe old basis. Suppose you would wakeuo to-morrow morning and learn ror a [actthat all the rebels had laid down their armsaud consented to return to tbe Union un¬der Us condition in 1860. Honest Demo¬crats say tbey want the Union as it was.In that case you would bave to send toKnglaod for Mason and Slidell and putthen back in Congress; you would have to¦end to Richmond for Benjamin and potbim back in tbe Senate; you woold haveto send for Jeff Davis aod put him back iaIbe Senate; you wonld have to send fortlenerai Lee and put bim at tbo head orbis old regiment of United States cavalry.

" 'You might reconstruct it withoutthat' says my honest Democratic friend.Ah, then, you don't want it exactly as itwas* If tbe Southern seceding Slateswere to come back into tbe Union as Itwas tens of millions of debts would beupon ns, and rebel script would have tobe mot bj payment as lawful money.Therefore do not shrink from me becausel do not want to see the Union exactly asit was. Do you want Western Virginia,with all ber free institutions, thrown backinto Eastern Virginia? Do you want M.S.souri io her original condition? Do youwant to see the men, black in skin, whohave fought so nobly at Port. Hudson andSumter, sent baok in chains to the cottonand rice fields again? if you do; I don t

^I'belung to the country, to tbo Union,>ud to tbo government, and it il the onlyparly I now know. [Cheers ] **hea welet fairly through our present difficultiesyou aud I may ait down and dlscoss ourjld party issues, drawing what partisanioes we please. But now every man shouldibiure party; old ideas are good, grandind noble, but old ideas when they do notit tbe times sbould be abandoned for tboimc. No Union man wants to abrogatehe old constitution. It is good enough.The only question is. how oan we take back>n absconding member of the firm underhe old articles of agreement."I am not for the Union as it was, bo-

:anse It cannot be reconstructed. If we.outd bring tho seceding states back Intobe Union in every respect, I would do it,jut it cannot be done. Who can bring>ack tho gallant dead on tho banks of the.ototnsc, Rappahannock and Obickahom-nv? Wbo can wipe away the tears of tbevidow and fatherless ? Who can wipe outhe national debt? Who can bring backbe prosperity of 1860? After all that, I,m With you for tbe reconstruction of theJnion." [Cheers.]low the Pullloltsllriltd la OsttlafSlowly iron loot aro trampling toward

Letter of Her. H. F. Cuiti^Cbaplain of the 107thI New-York Regiment:

Mia AoQUiaCasKK, March 4th, 1863.Owing to the great exposure and terrible decora

position after the battle of Antletam, I was utterlyprostrated and eery sick. My stomach would notretain medicine. An article called Plantation Bit-tots, prepared by Dr. Drake, of New-York, was pre-eeribed to give me strength and an appetite. To mvgreat surprise they gave me immediate relief. Twobottles almost allowed me to Join my regiment.. . . . I have since seen them used in manycases, aud am free to eay, for hospital or privatepurposes I know of nothing like them.
