SONG OF THE DEMOCRACY. ADDRESSED TO FATHER ABRAHAM. We are coming, Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thousand strong. To save you from the clutches of the Abolition throng, You've beard from Pennsylvania, and from Indiana, too, And Ohio has been speaking through her ballot-box to you. The sturdy men of Iron, from the Furnace and the Mine, With the Hoosiers and the Luckeye boys, are wheeling into line, They are marching to the music of the Union as of yore, And New York has fallen in with them, Three Hundred Thousand more! We are marching, Father Abraham, to that familiar tune, With which so oft in former years we scared that same old coon! Once more from hill and valley, it rings forth with cheering sound, To gladden every household where A loynl heart is found.

See Every star i4 blazoned on the banner' We untold, For the Union that old Jackson saved, and Seymour will uphold! To scatter all the Nation's foes--the Inion to re-tore. We are coming, Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thousand more! We are coming, Father Abraham, and as we march along, We'll relieve you from the "pressure" of the Abolition throng Yon told them that you couldn't make a pig's leg of its tail, And that against the Comet papal bulls would' not avail. They wouldn't heed your anecdotes or listen to your plea, They swore that White Men should be slaves and Niggers should be free! But you need not mind their ravings me now, or tremble at their ronr, For we're coming, Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thousand more! We are coming, Father Abraham, so cast away; your fears, It's the Democratic "slogan" that is ringing in your ears! They pretend to call us Traitors! But we point you to the blood That soaks into Vin ania's son--that dye's Potomac's floodThat stains the bulls of Maryland, the plains of Tenne; Such "Traitors." Father Abraham, this Union loves to sue! It's a growing "Traitor" army that is thundering at your door, And New York has swelled its columns with, Three Hundred Thousand more Miscellancons.

143 CONTRABANDS TO BE SENT TO THE COAL REGIONS. It is stated that the Government has under consideration a scheme for conveying contrabands to the Coal Mines in Pennsyl-1 where a great scarcity of workmen. or Philadelphia Ledger. We can tell the President of the United States, and his Abolition advisers, that they must keep their negroes out of the Coal Regions, uuless they desire to inaugurate civil war in the North. The people of this section of the State will not allow emancipated slaves to be thrown in competition with white labor.

The statements that there is a scarcity of workmen in the Coal mines of Pennsylvania, has no foundation in truth so far as Schuylkill county is concerned, and has only been gotten up by the Abolitionists to cover their design to supplant white laber by the employment of negroes. The white men are Democrats--vote the Democratic ticket, and hence the anxiety of the Abolitionists to throw them out of employment, and compel them to leave the county. Before the Democrats can be discharged, it is necessary to have on hand a a a a a a a a a a large number of negroes for their places, or the mines will stop and the Government be in want of coal. President Lincoln must keep his pet lambs out of Schuylkill Standard. Come to a few months ago the Abolition presses rang with the cry that the Democratic party, as a party.

was dead and buried. If this was true the time, they must admit that there has been a glorious resurrection--the dead come to life and is every day giving unmistakable evi- dence of extraordinary vitality, THE SURRENDER OF HARPER'S FERRY. The military commission appointed to investigate the facts and circumstances connected with the surrender of Harper's Ferry, have made their report. The mission S. A.

consisted of of Major President General Maj. D. Hun- Gion. Cadwalader, U. S.

A. of Brigadier, General C. C. Auger, U.S. A.

of Major Donn Piatt, A. A. Ci. of Captain F. Ball, A.

D. C. of Colonel J. Holt, Judge Advocate General. The report severely censures the Into Colonel Miles, the commanding officer, and Colonel Ford, who commanded on Mary.

land Heights, the latter of whom it nounces unfit to hold any command.in the army. Italso censures the New York 126th regiment for di-graceful conduct. and commends the dismissal of Major Baird from the service. After the wounding of' the Colonel of that regiment, some of the subordinate officers, Lieutenant Berras, and others not known to the commission, behaved with gallantry and should be com-: mended. General Julius White is exonera-, ted from all blame, and merits the approbation of' the government and the General Wool is pronounced "guilty of a grave dia-toy" for having placed Miles in command.

And now comes what the Administration and its friend- consider the gist of the report. It is the paragraph cen-uring General McClellan, and is in the following words: "The commi--ion has remarked frooly on Colonel Mile-, an old officer, who has been killed in the service of his country, and it cannot, from any motives of delicacy, refrain from con-uring those in high command, when it thinks such con-ure de-! served. The has testilied that General McClellan after having receivo orders repel the invading Maryland, marched only six miles por on an average. when pur-uing this invading enemy. The Generatin Chief also that in his opinion General McClellan could and should have relieved and protected Harper's Ferry.

and in this opinion the commission fully concur." The report, as it appears in the nonspators, is without a date: but its publication, simultaneously with the announcement of. Gen. McClellan's removal. indicate, very! clearly that those who hare been chiefly in-trumental in bringing it about, trust to the paragraph above quoted to justify, in part. the act which the sycophantic Forncy calls a "military nocossity." We need not, however, inform our reader, that the commission which thus condemns Gen.

McClellan, was merely one of inquiry, and' that the opinions it expresses are based upon mere C.r paste statements. The General-in-Chief (Hallock) testifies to certain facts, in relation to which no rebutting testimony was introduced and which, fact, and circumstances hereafter to he made public, may so explain and modifyas to render them of no force or value. (ion. McClellan has not yet been heard in his own defence, and until that right-a right the meanest criminal can claim--is allowed him, we may reasonably presume his inno-! cence. A careful reading of the report will, we think, make it evident that the paragraph in question was an that it constituted no part of the original report, and has been "sandwiched in" near the close, in a rudely di-connected style, for a special purpose--and that purpose by no all the more evident the fact, that the creditable to the General Chief.

This is report, with this paragraph in it, is self-contradictory. The charge it brings against lien. McClellan. is substantially negatived, by both a precedent and subsequent paragraph, as these extracts will show: 6 Gen. McClellan established his headquarters at Frederick City on the morning of' the 13th September.

On the night of the 13th, after the evacuation of Maryland Hoights. Col. Miles directed Captain (now Major) Russell, of the Maryland cavalry, to take with him a few men and endeavor to get through the enemy's lines and reach some of our -Gen. McClellan if' possible-and report the condition of Harper's Ferry, that it could not hold out more than 48 hours, unless re-enforced, and to urge the sending of re-enforcements. Capt.

Russell reached Gen. McClellan's headquarters, a. on Sunday the 14th of September, and reported as directed by Col. Miles. Immediately upon his arrival (ion.

McClellan sent Gen. off Franklin. messenger, us Cupt. Russell to At 10 a. Capt.

Russell left for Gen. Franklin's command, with a communication to Gen. Franklin from Gen. Me Cellun. lIe reached Gen.

Franklin about o'clock that afternoon, and found him engaged with the enemy at Crampon's Gap. The enemy were driven from the Gap, and the next morning, the 15th, Gen. Franklin passed through the Cap, advancing about a mile, and finding the enemy drawn up in line of battle in his front, drew his own forces up in line battle. While thus situated, the cannonading in the direction of Harper's Ferry, which had been heard very distinctly all the Ferry about seven miles distant-suddenly ceased; whereupon Gen. Franklin sent word to Gen.

McClellan of the probable surrender of Harper's Ferry by Col. Miles, and did not deem it necessary to proceed further in that direction." From the above it very clearly appears that Gen. McClellan lost no time in ing to Col. Miles's demand for re- inforcements- -that Gen. Franklin was the word -ordered toward Harper's Ferry.

The reasons given for his deto lay or failure, are, or ought to be, sufficient -the enemy were in his way. But, to another extract, and one still more irreconcilable with the accusation against Gen. McClellan than the above: The evidence thus introduced confirms the commission in the opinion that Harper's Ferry, as well as Maryland Leights, was prematurely surrendered. The garrison should have been satisfied that relief, however long delayed, would come at and that a thousand men killed at Ilarper's Ferry would have made a small the post been saved, and probably saved two thousand dot Antietam. How important was this now appreciate.

Of the 67,000 men composing at that time the whole of Lee's army, more than were attacking Harper's Ferry, and of this, the main body was in Virginia. By reference to the evidence, it will be al the very moment Col. Ford abandoned Maryland Heights, las little army reality lured by Generals Franklin and Sumner's corps ul C'rampton's Guy, within seven miles of his position." Now, if the facts stated in these extracts be truc-that Gen. McClellan, immedutely upon the arrival of Captain Russel, ordered Gen. Franklin to the relief of Col.

Miles -and that at the very moment Col. Ford abandoned Maryland Heights, ho was in really reliered by Generals Franklin and Sumner's corps--how can the charge that lien. McClellan failed to relieve and protect Harper's Ferry be made out? The report, so far as Gen. McClellan is concerned, proves entirely too much.Setting aside its selt-contradictions, does it not appear palpably unjust, if Gen. McClel-1 lan was answerable for the surrender, that Ford should be dismissed from the service, and the dead Miles censured The attempt to detract from the credit of ton.

McClellan's campaign in Maryland, which is evident throughout this report, is so mean a thing that we are surprised a soldier like (ien. -by at least, a man of honor- -should take a hand in it. Asa New York Journal well says, The whole world has been ringing with the miracle of that swift and splendid Maryland campaign. It was the most rapid and succes-ful, (considering the worn-out and demoralized army to the command of which McClellan was suddenly called.) which history relate-. This accusation would be laughed at, if it were not too seri014 a business for laughter." It scoms to us that the part taken in this atlair by tlic General has been prompted more jealousy of a greatly superior oflicer.

or by a mean desire to cultivate good relations with the Administration, than an honest wish to serve his country by removing an officer whom he believed to be an obstacle to the success of the Reading Gazette. The committee might as well have censured the Administration also, for continning ('ol. Miles in a command after the Bull Run fight. as to undertake to east censure upon Gon. Wool and Mien.

Me-Frederick Union. McCLELLAN. Enthusiastic Demonstration at Trenton in Honor of the Hero. SPEECH OF GEN. PATRIOTIC ADVICE TO HIS FELLOWCITIZENS.

NOV. 24, 1862. TRENTON, N. Nov. 13, Midnight.

The demon-tration in honor of General MeClellan by the citizens of Trenton, postponed yesterday on account of the weather, took place this evening. As early as six o'clock the crowd began to assemble. and by seven the street in font of the State Street louse was a perfect jam. Every window was occupied by the fair daughters of Trenton and the sur. rounding country.

Cheers were called for and given over and over again with hearty good will for General McClellan. All felt the inspiration of the moment, and that they were showing to him their appreciation of his great military talents, his unswerving patriotism, and his conduct as a man. At nine o'clock, the Trenton Cornet Band, under the able leadership of Mr. B. K.

McClurg. arrived in front of the hotel, and opened the serenade by performing most admirably, first, -pourri from the opera of Puritani;" second, pot-pourri of national airs. After the performance of the second piece, Andrew Dutcher, ex Speaker of the House of Representatives of New Jersey, came forward to introduce Gieneral McClellan to the assembled multitude. As soon as the General appeared nt the front of the Hotel, he was greeted with the most tumultuous applause. Cheer followed cheer throughout the entire squaro; ladies waved their handkerchiefs and joined in the applause.

It was with the greatest difficulty that any kind of order could be restored. At last the General was able to respond SPERCH OP GENERAL M'CLELLAN. MY FRIENDS- For I feel that you are all my friends--I stand before you, not as a maker of speeches, not as a politician, but as a soldier. I camo among, you to seek quiet and repose, moment of my arrival I have received nothing but kindness. Although I appear before you as a stranger, I am not altogether unacquainted with your history.

Your gallant soldiers were with me in every battle from the siege of Yorktown to the battle of Antietam, here 1 bear witness to their devotion to the cause for which we are fighting. (Here the uproar compelled the General cease for a few moments.) I also have to speak of the ever faithful, ever true Taylor; the dashing, intrepid Kearney--men who have given their lives for the maintenance of our government. And before bidding you good night. I have this piece of advice to give While the Army is fighting, as citizens see that the war is prosecuted for the you preservation of the Union and the Constitution, for your Nationality and your Rights as citizens. After returning to his rooms, the band performed a chorus from the opera of Ernani," and McClellan Polka," composed by the leader of the band and dedicaI ted to General.

Here the crowd called again for the General in the most vocifer: manner, when ho appeared at his window and reiterated his former words. No such demonstration, political or otherwise, was ever before witnessed in Trenton. It was a tribute to a true man, and one worthy of the gallant State of New Jersey and her citizens. HOW MARTIAL LAW WORKS. THE CASE OF MRS.

BRINSMADE. NO. 7. We exclude other matter for the purpose of laying before the public another case of beastly and infamous outrage committed by one of President Lincoln's minions under the martial law proclamation. The case of Mrs.

Brinsmade, as related by the New York World, and fully sustained by official authority, will arrest the attention and excite the indignation of the whole American people, not only against the brute, Kennedy, but against an Administration that re. sorts to such means and employs suchagents to violate justice and trample an liberty and humanity. From the N. Y. Worll.

Whoever has a sister, a wife, or a daughtor, and desires to know what pangs may come to him through those tender tieswhoever would learn (beyond what Naples and the Inquisition can teach) to what outrageous lengths the unbridled, unpunished exercise of unlawful and domestic power will run -may learn from the correspon-1 dence in the case of Mrs. Brinsmade, which we publish this morning. Mrs. Brinsmade, and beautiful woman, hardly out of her teens, ing therefore r.either the self- restraint which comes with years nor the cautious reticence of the other sex, two months ago came North under a pass from Gen. Butler, in the New Orleans steamer, in order to the winter with her relatives in Washington and Troy.

Arrived in the former city, she js arrested withont warrant, imprisoned without trial, denied communication with friends, kept closely guarded, at length brought on to this city and thrown into the Forty-seventh street stationhouse. Through a hackman employed by the officer in charge of her, her friends in this city learn of the outrage: they apply civilly to the infamous Kennedy, who made the arrest, to know its cause. They are assailed with imprecations and threats that I they too shall be locked up if the inquiry is repeated. Assured by a deputy that the I prisoner is to be sent to her father in New Orleans by the next steamer, her friends content themselves with the hope that, although every form of law, every guarantee of civil and personal liberty has been violated by one of their appointed custodians, the sufferer had at least escaped without loss of life or of that which is dearer. But her wrongs were not yet ended.They did not know the Kennedy.

Perhaps they had never heard of Cell No. 4. Thirty. five days afterwards a letter was received by one of her friends, from which it was learned that she was still a close prisoner in the Forty- eventh street station-house, waited upon only by male attendants, fed with prisoner's fare, a part of the time pros: hated by illness as well as grief, every stinct of decency thus violated as well as every form of law. Two ladies then apply to the Kennedy for permission to sec their friend.

It is denied. They ask what are the charges and who the accusers. the Kennedy, am the accuser; I arrested her. I put her and keep her where she is, and she ought to he hung." Hopeless of redress from the brute whona this intamy blasts up and down through all his lineage and in all his posterity, Mrs. Brin-made's friends applied to Provost Marshal General Draper.

Mr. Draper promptly addressed himself to the Judge Advocate General, who said that he knew nothing of' the case; to Mr. Kennedy, who replied that she was held by order of Col. Baker, provost marshal of Washington Col. Baker and the Assistant Secretary to.

War, who replied (proving that the Kennedy of course lied) that the arrest had been made by one of Mr. Kennedy's officers, and that Mrs. Brinsmade was detained by him without any authority whatever from the War Department; whereupon Mr. Draper got troin the Kennedy an order for the lady's release, went in person and exccuted it, and left her in the charge of her friends. It is but justice to say that the War Department is no further responsible for this particular outrage than as responsibility is implied in its having been guilty of similar ones in its having committed despotic and illegal power into the hands of a petty Caligula, and in its having hitherto connived at every license to which the itchings of paltry police despot and the instincts of a brute had goaded him on.

Mr. Draper it only needs to he said, to those who do not know him, that his humanity and his sense of justice needed no second or long appeal, and that the tions of an office which never ought to have been created are redeemed from utter detestation in the character of a gentlemen by whom it never ought to have been assumed. Jesse D. -It is confidently asserted that the Indiana Legislature, which Ineets in January, will elect Jesse D. Bright United States Senator for the short term, and Thomas A.

Hendricks for the long term, beginning 4th of March, 1863. It would be a a curious spectacle to see a Senator returnled to a seat from which he was expelled for alleged acts of disloyalty to his Govern-, ment, but there are some notable precedents in history, not the least of which is the case! of John Wilkes, who was repeatedly expelled by the British House of Commons, and as often returned by his constituents. D. C. Naiman, Esq.

Dem. and oditor of the Easton Sentinel, is elected a ber of the louse of Represetatives by 2,500 majority. Well done, old Northampton. About fourteen monthe ago Mr. Neiman's office was entirely destroyed by an Abolition mob who, of course, made the attack in the night, and behind the editor's back.

A Joke. of the Washington letter writer says that when Col. Forney inquired of him how he felt about New York, Mr. Lincoln replied: "Somewhat like that boy in Kentucky, who stubbed his toe while running to see his sweetheart. Tne boy said he was too big to cry, and far too badly hurt to laugh." The deed which the maligant cabal of radicals, who are pledged to destroy the Union that slavery may be, abolished, have boon plotting for a year past, is at last consumma.

ted. Gen. McClellan has been ramored from the command of the army of the Potomac. To the announcement of his removal--which was first made through the papers of last Sunday--took the try by surprise, expresses very feebly the deep sensation that it excited in the public mind. And yet, to those who kr.

ow the powerful influences that were at work -influences to which the President has shown himself too ready to yield, because his sympathies are altogether in that direction -the sacrifice of McClellan need havo casioned no surprise. The only matter of surprise to them, should be that it was cot made long ago. The official order, "relieving" Grneral McClelian of his command, was accompanied by the publication of a communication from General Halleck to the Recretary of War, which. it is evident, was intended as an apology for, if not a justification, of the act. But, the impartial will pronounce it at once lame apology and r.o justification.

The most it proves is that the supplies which Gen. McClellan needed were forwarded as promptly as the resources of the several departments upon which he made requisitions would allow.It by no means proves that they were equal to the necessities of his Army, or sufficient place it in a condition to move on forward as rapidly as the authorities at Washington demanded. That they were not so, we may reasonably infer from the fact that the movements of his Army were delayed.One of General McClellan's characteristics is cautiou ness. He prefers to wait, even at the risk of incurring censure and detraction, rather than sacrifice the lives of the men under his command by a rash, hasty or premature movement. The opposito policy has been tried, and the country has suffered seriously by the expo.

riment. The impatient ciamor of "On to Richmond resulted in the disgraceful rout of Bull Run. The dashing style of fighting, which Gen. Pope was brought from the West to inaugurate, ended in the disastrous repulse and almost entire disorganization of one of the largest and best dis. ciplined Armies that the world has ever seen.

If McClellan has achieved no great victories, he has, at least, suffered no inglo. ious defeats. If he has not taken Richmord4, conquered the South, and ended the War, he has, to say the least, upon two occasions, saved the Union cause, by defending the capital against invasion and occupation by the enemy. If he has not done impossible things, it was simply because they were innpossible. The Government, whose main reliance MoClellan has been at two critical periods War, has repaid his services with black ingratitude.

It has sent him into re. tirement, but it cannot sink him into die grace. The Army and the people know him and estimate him at his proper worth. lie is, at this very day, incomparably the 'greatest General we have.

1 1allock's success in the South- West. land Burnside's victories on the coast of North Caralina, were the fruits of McClellan's ducting mind, as their own official reports attust. Ilis ability to lead an Army in the field was shown, first. in his short but brilliant Western Virginian campaign; afterward, in his advance upon Richmond -his failure to capture that city owing to causes that he could not -and more recently, in his successful campaign against the invading rebel army in Maryland. The laurels he has won are suflicient to establish his fame, even should his career end 'hore.

But, not so. An Abolitionized AL ministration may be glad to discard a patriotic General who has nobly proclaimed that the and the Army he has just loft "will ever be comrados in supporting the Constitution of our country and the Nationality of its people." But that people will, ere long, call him to higher duties and more exalted honors: and then, when his vindicatiou shall be complete, the miserable conspirators who exulting in the triumph of their partizan malignity, will bide their dimini-hed heads in shame before the resplendent star of his glory. It is fortunate for the country that the evil which has been done in McClellan's removal is partially recompensed by the 'appointment, for a time, of General Burnside to succeed him. The latter is a true and tried commander- -McClellan' comrade friend. familiar with his plans, and capable of judging them without prejudice.

If Burnside is suffered to remain where he is, and radical influences do not so far prevail as to put remont.at the head of the Army, all may yet be Licading Guzette. The Fa-ton Argus says: "It is singular but not unnatural fact that every county that was tory Revolution, such as Lancaster, Chester, Delaware, aro Abolition now.

It is astonishing to notico how servative the late elections have made some of the Republicans in this vicinity. Many who before the vote taken, were AS blustering and vindictive as the very devil, are now as gentle: as 50 many lambs. We heard a prominent Republican, who, during the campaign, was quite furious in calling the Democrats hard names, the other day admit that the late elections would good effect on the country.
