Brave. brave and valiant were they,
Valiant were our olden sifes,
Who uprose at Freedoms rally,
To protect our altar 6res;
Whether mid the wintry tempest
Whether mid the burning sun
Mid the day or night OF danger,
Guided by our Washington.
Chorls-Brave, brave, etc.
Let old Bunkers mount Of glory,
Let proud TIentoDs contest tell
Or repeat old Princetobs story,
Where the gallant Mercer fellj
Leading memory DER the vista,
Eutsw's vale appears again;
Cowpens with her smitten iegioDs,
And the tracks Of "Maron's men
Chorus--Brave. brave, etc
See. from out that sylvan region,
Where the war.trump ne'cr had rung,
Where the mail'j oppressors sought 1T,
How each native yeoman sprungi
How the love Of country fired them,
How they battled, sire and son;
How they sfnote the roy al lion
On the plains Of Bennington,
Ch0rns-Brave, brave, etc.
Lo! on saratoga's borders.
Leaguering hosts in steel combine;
Britons from the English valleys,
Germans from the flowing Rhine;
Yankees from their mountain passes.
Born to strike but not to yield;
And iet glory Is an ais tell you
How they won that bristling field!
Brave. brave, etc.
See once more the triune legionS,
In their iron columns meet
There upfaunts St. Georges banner;
There, the Bourbon's lilied sheet
There, in all its virgin beauty.
See our glorious banner rise,
Winning, with our Gallo brothers.

Praises to the Foupt Of Blessing,
For the boon our fathers bled-
Boon for which the sons possessing,
Shrine the patriot, sainted dead
Shrine their names with proud emotion
Love the very scenes they trod;
And with pilgrim spirit wander
Where their souls went up to God

INFORMATION FROM THE ARMY.

we take the following extract from letter pub
lished IN the Picayune Of the 5lh Instant
CoRpus CnRisrI, Aug. 80, ls45.
The position taken by General Taylor is one of
extreme beauty; and when the eye first rests
upon his camp, clustered with thousand spotless
white tents along the shelly margin of the shore of
Corpus Christi bay, irresistible bursts of admiration
follow 1t is a position of security as well as
beauty.
His tents are pitched on piece of table-Iand that
reaches about quarter Of a mile to a range Of hills;
at the distance of half mile from the crest of
these he has stationed, an out-guard, force of
one hundred and twenty hardy and well-tried Tex.
ans 10 whose fidelity is intrusled this otherwise
suitable point. Major Gally, commanding the vol
unteers from New Orleans, is intrusted with guard
ing the extreme left; whilst the extreme ght il
safely guarded by Colonel Twiggs, commanding the
81 Dragons. The centre is composed Of the Sd,
4tb, and 7lh regiments Of infantry.
The commanding general has thrown up a field
work a wall of shells and sand, six feet thick and
three hundred yards in length, on his right. In case
of an overpowering attack from this quarter, the
troops stationed outside of this wall are to retreat
behind it. The whole length of the line along the
shore occupied, appears TO be about one mile and
half
1t is probably one of the healihiest and pleasant
est spots in the world. From The earliest dawn, re-
freshng breezes invgorate the body, dissipate the
intensity Of the heat, and nerve the system to a
heathful action. The cool nights invite WEAKNESS
repose, disturbed neither by The promenading flea,
nor the biz=ing mosquito.
The only drawback 10 continuing this encamp-
ment, is the scarcity of wood and water-the for
the troops haul about three miles, and the latter
is quite brackish though believe there are one or
two small wells in the camp, which supply very
fair beverage.
The officers appear to enjoy themselves amazing
y, considering they were supposed to be all cut up!
They purchase Mexican ponies at from $40 to 500
and excellent nags they are to ride, too. The wa
ters abound with fish and oysters, both of superb
or kind and the praries adjacent with rich favored
venison. Large and fat beeves are slaughtered dali
y for the Of the troops-a which, with the lib
cral supplies of Uncle Sam, these occupiers of an
independent nalions soil can get along mighty well
with.

Quotations Tor stocks the past week have been steadily

Prices have nearly reached point low ruled pre-
vious to the recent speculation, and the indications
present not favorable for Improvement. The at
tenton Of spectators absorbed by the advance going
in produce and long there prospect of fur
ther improvement very little regard will be paid to fan
cy stscks. There is money enough to carry an ex
tensive speculation in any thing that will bring out ope
rators.
We annex table showing the bank movement in each
Sae and Territory Of the Union at four periods CON-
mencing at the time the speculaons which ended in the
general explosion in 1887 and ss did ending the pre-
sent year One very important thing connected with this
statement the fact that the fluctuations in the banking
systems have been much greater In the repudiang and
delinquent States than in the others The banking sys
TENS of some of tine repudatng States and Territories
have exploded and gone Of existence while in the
others there have been very great oonractions. The
banks Of Florida, Michigan, Alabama Mississippi and
Arkansas have gone out of existence and those of In
diana Illinois, Louisiana and Pennsy yvania have reduced
their large per cent Greater fluctuations
have been experienced in the banking operations of all
the States than exhibited in these We have
been obliged to make of the official returns made up
certain periods for the purpose of giving full state

With the facilities we have for speculation, whom the
public mind becomes once more mpregnated with the
MANIA II will be immense and exceed any thing of the
kind before attempted accomplished Our means
for transporting merchandise to every section Of this
country were before so great expeditions
and the construction Of the magnetic telegraph in all d.
rectons and between al the principal cities give
an immense impetus to speculative movements. Hun
dreds of commercial operations can be made between
the merchants of Boston, New York and Philadelphia by
means Of these wire telegraphs where one could be
made before All these things would aid and extend
speculative transactions and feel assured that when
the commercial classes get more fairly started In
speculatons they will reach immense amount before
arrested by general explosion. The times are getting
ripe for movement similar to that which commenced in
1888 and exploded in 1897 and there is power in exist
ence to check it. 1t may be five, even ten years be-
fore crisis is reached but the seeds have already been
sown that will rpen and spread ruin and desoation
through the land.
