JOSEPH "HOLT OH THE W AH. Hon. Jm. Holt, ex-Secretory of War, addressed end immense Union meeting -nt Irring Hell, New York, lately. Pe* latiaii Pent, Esq., President of the | . J Chamber of Commerce, presided. Mr ! Bp Holt was receircd with unbounded en-, W ^hnsiam, and his speech was cbaracUrI ized by great eloquence aud power. j *We give on extract, Especially for the • benefit of onr sympathizers with rebel- ' - lion : Seppnxa thaUyon lived in one of those \ ■ citiet where there is o steam fire engine and a paid company to operate it ; and , suppose that your honse was on tire and this company and this'enginc hod been sttmranncd to the spot and were vigorously engaged in extinguishing it; ond suppose tint you 'discern, from time to time, men creeping ont from the crowd nn>l sticking their kuives into the hose, J from which the water is seen -to spcut ; forth in oil directions upon tlid pavements of' the street ! How long do yon , V think the presence of anon miscreant* would be endured ? Hut suppose that, i looking more closely into the faces of , these men. you discover that they nre , -! members of this fire company, receiving the salary to which you have yourself 1 contributed"! In the first bnrst of your i .-y Indignation wonld yon not feci that ; their punishment would not be to great ' if tlier were thrown Into the flames which they were thus indirectly feeling t , Aiiil yet thin has" been precisely the con- , dilion of the Government the of United United Slates. [A voice— "That's a fief."] That lie* been, from the commencement of this- struggle, its precise • condition. I latowvtherp are those who look with more^nSrration upon these offenses which prevail afoong us than I cau possibly do. Perhaps I am too lmr*b ; bnt I mnst any -this. that the • men who In our own midst give aid and .. comfort to the enemy, either by furnishing tltem secret information, or by ad- i vcrtising their cause, or by striving to i I sow distensions among ourselves, or i>v insidnnnsly dissuading loyal men from j entering tbo military service, nre more *■* vitally the foes op onr country than if /' 1 Ay were in the army of the Cottleder- j ate States. [Applause.] The power'' of the Government can do much to cor- i « • reel fill's evil, bnt nluclA more can be •lane by the crashing power of public < opinion, branding as infamous socially ! * mid politically, ditloyalily wherever en- < countered. [Applause.] These nun , > are, morally, nt lrast, gnilty, of the ' > death of those who fall in defense of the f I • Government, jnsi as much on if tnijv t bad met them upon the bnllle-fieh. with ! t the deadly weapons of war. In 'voir ' railroad cars, upon your stenmbc ats, ii. • your thnroaghfares, in every business j 1 mid social circle, disloyalty shoold b« j,e 'branded and blasted as a lepras.* and t i loathsome thing. [Great oppianse.] f -And, therefore, my friends, when you 1 see these men, lit ft upon 'Change, or f 'be Mn the social circle, and they offer I you their hsnds, look well to tbem, for ^ • if you have the eyes that I have jou * wffl see that tbev are red with the blood n of brave men, your kindred it may be, V wba have perished, and who are perish- a ing still on the ba' tie-field— turn away j from tbem in disgust and indignation. I Of the duty of the present war, Mr ; e Holt spoke thus. i f "What we now need is a patriotism Ig that will abide the ordeal of fire, a pa- * triotism that is purged of all selfishness, g, and from all fear, which is heroic and a •ezbaustlcss ; which rows with every i ij •throb of life, with every pulse, that it c will rally — if atricken down it will rise | f( again, and that under the prcsurc of no c circumstance of defeat, ur aorrow. or of * suffering shall the national Bag be abandoned, or the Ifnnor of the country b* compromised. [Enthusiastic applause.] M What we need is it patriotism which ri- u

ees fally to the comprchensbw of tj»e ' actual and the awful perils in which our . institutions are placed, and which i* willing to devote every power of body and mind and fortune' to their deliver6 ance. [Cheers ] A patriotism which obliterating all party lines — [cheers long . : continued, and repeated again and agnin ; breaking forth in a lood hurrah] — a ; patriotism which, obliterating all party ' lines and entombing all party issues, : says to the President of the United ' " Stnu s ; Here are onr lire* and our es- - 1 lutes ; use them freely, use them boldly, j , Inn use them successfully. -For, look- j | j ing upon the graves of our fathe's and : I upon the cradles of our children we . I I hare sworn that though all things else ^ j should perish this country, and 'this j Union ishall live. [Great cheering, the' I assembly rising to their feet and waving ' ^ hats and handkerchiefs.] -It is such a I patriotism as this and this only, that I will condoet you to victory. MittWx, X. J. Sept. fi 1801. 1 en iron fir the "Wave — Dear Sir : '■ i Your ever-welcome issue for the current j i 1 week, with the Report of the Teachers' : Institute, has just reached me. I am ' grateful for the »yiD|mthy of my friends, ' j in- the illnrsssof/ my family ^now happily j I rumored Jt was a disappointment for j ' nre not meet them. It is now six years | since my first iutrodnction to the "gude j ! folks" on the Cape, and each year has ' ' it been my privilege to meet with them at tliHr Institute. I can not but remember, here, that cne i of the most earnest teachers ami valued . j friends has during the pust year passed ! . away from earth. Rut his works do 1 follow him. A. A. Woodward was prit Hedged to Aluke "footprints oil tin; , «amls of time." His example Is, and : will be n blessing to those who knew ■ him. And his tnjhience upon his pupils ; will wink through them upon others, • in ever-w idenin^clrclrs which shall only .break at Inst on the shores of eternity. And It was influence for good. Ajlow me to add also i hot during two years | past, he had, to my personal knowledge, j cherished a tnijt in the God-iuau Christ ! ; Jesus, as hit Saviour. Rich is the re-: . ward, — not of merit, — but uf grace, — ■to 1 lie "faithful servant." j I wanted to speak also of the progress j ! of educational affairs in your county, j ; as they appear to nn attentive observer ' I long nco took occasion to advert to j | the excellent system of graded ccrlifi. { cates, In which. Cape Muy affords -an j example, worthy of imitation by all her j j *i«ter comtiet: and d mow observe,! with increased joy, -that your excellent ! ; are greatly increasing its rltoiency. This date marks an era jn | the -cause. The progress has hitherto i great, but gradual. Ilence it will ' be more observable. Quacks, Monti Vsbftnfes, Pretenders, and Ignorami- 1 ' .cvt, have been permitted from injuring • tender tninda bnt henceforth the lest j quantisations are to be in demand. true Teacher will rejoice at the gradual rise of the standard in proportion to the means of growth fornishod. The State has * right to expect tjint trtry teacher will know all that, if taught at the Institute 1 commend the exam- i plo to our worthy State Superintendent and to the other counties of the State. The subjects of the exercises at the ! ought to constitute part or the | examination of every teacher through- j ! out the subsequent year, — a good Teach- | | must be a growing Teacher : — and j .good teachers make good schools ; Good ; [ schools make good scholars ; Good . : scholars become good men and womeii) j , and good men and women are good eit- ; good patriots, the hope of the , country, and the world. I beg pardon ( this long loiter. With the best wish- , to all my good friends on the Cape, j ( 1 remain. Yours, very truly. , JOHN P. THOMPSON. | ( A Mixfiwiippi regiment at I«esbarg, Va..

Gov. Magoffin from Presi- ' dent Lincoln : — Washington, D. C., Aug. 21 7 o His Excellency li. Magoffin, Goecrnor of r lie Slate of Kentucky* Sib: — Your letter of the I Otli inst., j which you "urge the removal "from c the limits of Kentucky of tho military ! t force now organiz.-d. and in tamp with- 1 1 j that State," is received. * ; I may not poesets full and precisely 1 ; accurate knowledge upon this subject ; " but I believe it is true tha» there i - a ' military force in camp within Kentucky, ( acting by authority of the United States, f which force is not very large, aud is not n now being augmented. i I also believe that somo arms have "a .furnished to this force oy the Uul- y j ted States. fi j I also believe this for^e consists cx- I1 j.eltalycly of Kcntnckiaub, hHviug their a

One ( other very worthy citizen of Kentucky , did solicit me to 'have the augmenting ' of tlie force suspended for a time. • Taking all the means within my ronch ' to form a judgment, I do not believe it ' i is the popular wish of Kentucky that i i this force shall be removed beyond her | j limits; nnd./vlth this impression, I must t : respectfully decline to remove it. | I mast cordially sympathize with your j ; excellency in the wish to preserve the • ; pence of aiy own unlive State, Kcntncky; ' but it is with regret I search, and- can- ; ! not find in yoar not very short letter, ; : any ' declaration or intimation, tlint you ■ have nny desire for the preservation of the Federal Union.
