WAR SONG.


Hark heard you the war shout burst out on the
air!
Il comes from the south for the foeman is there !;
He dares tear bough from young Iiberty's
tree,
And to shed meath its bough, the proud blood
OF the free.
Then Iinger not, comrades! but fling to the
breeze
The Banner that's triumphed on land and on
seas,
And swear on the shrine of its bright stars on
high,
For your country to conquer, or with her to die
That peal! 'Tis the signal The dramas begun,
Whose scenes shall be crimsoned with blood
ere Ills done;
Oh brave hearts and true ones shall sink OF
the plain,
Ere the star shall close its imperial reign.
Then rally! oh rally the foeman has come,
And treads the green wales of lone Liberty
home,
Oh murmur it quickly! for home one sad sigh!
Then swear for your country to conquer of die
But listen! voice from the future hear,
Its whisper fall softly but sad on the ear;
1t murmurs of heroes, whose forms shall grow
cold,
n the icy embrace of the sepulcre's mould
| tlinger not. comrades! the tears of the brave
/ Ever moisten the sod of the soldiers grave;
Then rally and fling out your banners on high
And swear yoGr country to conquer or die.

AN AFFECTING SCENE New Haven
Courier relates the following:
sin lawyers office in a remote part of
this State, lay mortgage for eleven hun
dred dollars, which was within few days Of
being due. One morning the man, on whose
place the mortgage was held, called and in
qdired if the payment could not be put off
short time. He was d man some what adj
vanced in life, and very Incorporate. The
lawyer, in reply TO his inquiries, said that the
man who held the mortgage wanted his mon
ey-that he was sorry, but it could not be
extended. The tears came to the old mans
eyes, and after standing a few moments, a
perfect image of despair, turned and left the

in a few short days his aged and infirmed
wife and invalid daughter, would have to
quit that roof which had SO long sheltered

where.
He could say nothing 10 them about it,
it would cause them so much grief. The
mortgage be came due, and in the morning
early, the farmer again repairs TO the law
yer's office. He pleaded for time but TO no
purpose. Overcome with emotion, the old
man sank in a chair, and there sat for about
two hours APPARENTLY unconscious of anything
that was passing around him, when carriage
drove up TO the door, and lady stepped
from it. She entered the office. After
standing few moments, cycling the old man
with interest and emotion, she spoke. The
old man looked up, "Father, how do you do?''

upon two Mexican soldiers, who had appar-
emily, just rowed across the river, and were
refreshing themselves in cool shade, having
placed their muskets in thoughtless security

He carried the two muskets upon his lef

full distant in advance, straight into camp!
From them some desirable information
was obtained, after which they were leC
blindfolded out of camp, safely in their boat
and dismissed. When Gilbert was aske,
how he was able TO make such double prize

GENER OR DERS NO 3

GENERAL ORDERS NO. 3.
BY instructions from the war depart
ment of the lst inst, it is regarded as deSi-
rable that each company of volunteers shall
consist of eighty privates, but the officer
who is sent TO muster them into service, is
instructed to receive companies OF les num-
Der, but not under sirty four prirateS.
Ii. Where uniform is adopted by com
pany, the same material will answer for that
of the commissioned officers, making
the usual variations in the trimmings
For instance: in case of the adoption OF the
grey mixed or blue jeans frock coat men
toned in section 10, Of General Order No, 2,
the officer might wear a similar coat with
single instead OF double row of buttons in
| front.
Ill. The fewer utensils, and the less bag

that can be taken from home TO the place of
rendezvous the better for the soldier, as the
U. States will furnish all necessary articles
of the kind at that point, and those taken.
unless Of the proper description, will not be
paid for by the u. States. AS in that case
they would be cast aside, they would be a
useless expense.
". When volunteer is unable, il would
be far better for his friends, and especially bis
comrades, to furnish his clothing, as we are
assured by the Iespector General, that the
amount could be deducted flom his first pay
and paid over 10 the person advancing it
This would save the trouble of delay of re-
ceipts, amounts &c, and the advance 0
