Give him your support and confidence.

Give it freely, not grudgingly. If you cannot accomplish now what you desire, wait patiently for the good time coming." The right will ultimately triumph, fur God overrules all things for good. Let me tell you that the army feel a deep interest in this matter Let ure you that those who have dared most and taf fcred most in tho cause of the Union are ready and eager to support the Government, and they will look with small favor upon those who oppose it. This not a Correspondence of the Washington Chronicle Will yon allow a soldier, who has been in the war irom the beginning, pace in your columns to appeal to his friends in the North, on the much talkcd of subject of restoration 7 I am sorr to sec a disposition already manifested in some quarters to carp at the acts of the Administration. It does not try men right.

It docs not resort to the proper tribunals. It docs not try the right men. It is too last, says one, ana too slow, says another. And 1 think 1 see on the part of some a disposition to make party capital ont of the troubles of the times. For God's sake for the ake of the country by all our recollections of the past and our hopes of the future, let us, for once, rise above party.

Let us for once forget party predilections and party per jodiccs. Ljvt us lay as de old mcnd.ships and old enmities, and come to these great questions simply as American citizcusrscck ing no personal aggrandizement or advan tage, and look only to the future. Let us seek only to make our country hereafter great, happy, anited powerful to protect ourselves and panisn our enemies. President Johnson has on his hands a task of greater, far greater magnitude than had President Lincoln. The latter had to suppress rebellion, and great, indeed, was the task.

But he had the united support of the whole people of the North. (I don't call that little nest of Copperheads people.) All the men and all the money necessary were freely given. President Johnson has on his hands the great work of reuniting the disintegrated parts; of allaying animosities that have been studiously cultivated for thirty years, and made more bitter by four years of fearful war of calling back those who have gone astray of making us again, in deed and in truth, The United S'ufcs. It is idle to talk about reconstruction, reunion and all that, without having a union of hearts and a union of hands among all the people. It is the people that make the State, and to have united States yon must have united peoples.

How is this to be brought about? By one set of men saying that certain things must and shall be done, and it they arc not done they will array themselves against the Administration, and continue strife? Must we require people to give up in a day all the prejudices if you plcsse so to call it of a lifetime, and come at oucc to our views It is not so easy to forego all tho teachings and feelings of a whole life. Will the great end we seek por mnneiit peace be accomplished by such means Will the end be attained any the more speedily by falling out with the Administration, and dotionncing tho Presi dent whenever Lis policy docs not square) with our peculiar notions 1 Urcat reforms move slowly; and our na tion is now in a condition that may well cause the prudent and true hearted to hesitate what course to pursue. We have up on our hands some 12,000,000 of subju gated people some 4,000,000 ot whom are gnorant blacks. 1 his, upon the usual ba sis of calculation, would give us about 1, 600,000 white voters, and about 800,000 black voters. Ihcse blacks have heretofore been kept in bondage and ignorance.

Not one in ten among them can read or write, and many of them cannot give a ra tional idea of thcirexistcncc or their rela tions to the Creator. (Wo might as well speak of facts right out.) And the whites the great mass of them have been for four years in rebellion against the Govern ment. hat shall we do with H113 terrible Shall we restore all these whites horn we have but just subjugated, to equal rights with us Yesrsay many, and thus by our magnanimity disarm opposition. But are you risht sure, my friend, safely ensconced in your Northern home, that it would have that effect And, if it did not, would you not give them a power scarcely less dangerous than the power of their late armies Another says, give the tight of sulTrage to the blacks, and withhold it from those who have been in rebellion. But are these people who have just come out of bondage fit to receive at once so great a boon, and use it judiciously It is not their fault that they are ignorant, say you.

No, certainly not. Nor is it the fault of any man that he is blind but it is a fact that many are so. And would you because it is not the blind inan's fault, put him to run a locomotive that was to draw the train on which you are to ride But there are whites who do vote and who are ignorant as these negroes. Agreed. But because wo have already a dangerous element in our ignorant voters, shall we increase that danger by adding 800,000 more ignorant voters Would that be a mark of wisdom Pause and consider about this.

Not because the men are black God toruid but Decause tliev are ignorant. Upon one theory wc can all aree. Let us educate them. I have been in the South almost from the beginning of tho war. I have not been north of the Ohio river since November, 1861.

I have seen these people from the highest to the lowest, and 1 consider a ne jro soldier of the Union as high at least as any rebel in the land, and I confess that if to day it were in my power to dispose of all this question ot reconstruction, 1 should not know what to do. Wc have them among us, white and black they can not remain nugatory. They must be a source of good, or a source of evil. How shall wc make them a source of good and cause them to contribute to the greatness of the nation Let wiser heads than mine decide but beware lest you decide too hastily! Remember that we are acting now for all time to coinc, and as we settle this problem it must tell for good or evil upon our prosterity to the latest generation. The statesman who cannot look beyond the present is unworthy the name.

The man who seta up his own notions in opposition to all others is an unsafe counsellor. He who is quick to impute improper motives to others deserves himself to be closely watched. Let us enter unon this work, my countrymen, with minds free from prejudice and hearts free from guile. Let us remember that if wc do not reunite the people, not in name merely but in feeling, in interest, and in heart, our Union is a rope of sand, and all tho blood, all the sacrifices, all the anguish, and all the desolation of the last four years have been in vain. Let us resolve that we will uphold the hands of the Administration and if the President and his advisers do things that to us seem wrong, still let us sustain them and think that, if we had the opportunity to view the subject from their standpoint, we might have acted as they did.

The Fiihedmen. A Union Meeting was held iu tho Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening, June 11th for the purpose of effecting the organization of a society to labor for the amelioration of the freedmenof the United States.

A lengthy and able lecture, abounding in interesting statistics relative to the agencies and societies now at work in behalf of these unfortunate men, was delivered to a large and attentive audience by the Rev. J. Gregory. At the close of the address the society was organized by electing Alva Tinopkius President, J. J.

When iho.Frani;n and Exeter boys rallied to the call of their country, by raietng a company in August last, Taylor enlisted a3 a soldier among them leaving his pastoral charge on diorthiuoTftlabd. Circuit to be supplied by another. Being a universal favorite with all he was soon promoted to Chaplain of the regiment, which position be occupied until he died. His disease (Typhoid Fever) was supposed to have been the result of his making too great ex ertioas in building a Chapel in the camp.

He was in his year, and leaves an aged father and mother, a wife and two little children, besides numerous other friends, to mourn hi loss. A short time before his death his brother asked him if he was afraid to die No he replied, I wish to live for those I love, but I am resigned to God's will, I have trusted in Him too long to be afraid to die." As a friend we have known him, as a student and as a cheerful companion minglipg In our social circles at Wyoming Seminary. Again, we have known him as a faithful minister of Him who, in His wisdom, has taken him away. Experiencing religion at the age of IS years his mind was early directed to the ministry. Possessing inferior early educational advantages, he had many difficulties to.

encounter in his upward course toward the hill of science. But with untiring' energy and perseverance he became what many in our own America have become, a self made man. Oh, gloriously redeemed America, made sacred by the blood of thy martyred youths, and of they revered Chieftain Science shall still unfold her free beams, beneath thine own triumphant banner! Glancing back along the lapse of years, and recalling the sunny past, we shall often gaze in memory upon a smiling, youthful face, now cold in death. Taylor possessed in an uncommon degree, an abundance of spirits; which, while it did not detract from his goodness of heart, or his usefulness, seemed to diffuse gladness and good feeling among his associates. But he sleeps in death another martyr on our country's altai They have borne him to his childhood's home, and have laid him down to rest, in tho Jittle Cemetery at Moscow, near the home of his parents, where sorrowing friends shall often repair to mingle their tears with his dust.

Gone from our number, as lh leaves With breath of autumn pass away Gone from tho weary cares of earth, To realms of everlasting day.

Wendell Phillips has published a card, saving that tho repudiation ho spoke of in was that which tne rebels would be guilty of if they were allowed to cet into i Congress by restricting suffrage at the south to the whites. A new mode of raising money at a fes i val hns been devised in St.

A new planet was discovered at Naples on the 26th of April by He Gasparin the eighth found now by that astronomer.
