CHEER up

Cheer up, for grief is of the night,
But morning with itsrosy light
Dispels the clouds of sorrow;
Ifshadowy doubts obscure the day.
Remember they willflee away;
The sky viii smile tomorrow.
What though the past be thickly s.rown
With faded flowers--thy path o'ergrown
With thorns of woe and sadness?
Yet sigh not always--murmur not,
There's promise in thy future lot,
That speaks of hope and gladness.
True, life is but vale oftears,
And hope is often linked with fears,
Yet why be ever weepingl
There's many bright spot on the earth,
And many Joy of nobler birth
The future hath in keeping.
A cloud upon thy brow will throw
New shadows on thy brothers woe,
And make life's journey weary;
A smile in holy calmness given,
Will light thy brothers path to Heaven,
And cheer the pilgrim weary.
Cheer up, then, for our guide. star here
VIII soon disclose holier sphere,
Where care assails US never;
Man hath hope beyond the tomb,
In Heavens congenial air to bloom;
That hope shall live forever.

8 Incidents Of the Recent Battle.

Thegreatest loss of the Americans was
on the first day, but there is different re-
ports as to the number Of killed and
wounded. Some of the staff say that our
loss is 700 killed and wounded, bat think
there must be at least 1000, 5nas So,
The Texan Rangers are the mostd es-
perate, set of men in battle that have
ever heard of They charged up to the
breastworks, dismounted, and rushed over
on foot, with sword in hand. They were
each armed with rifles, and, as may be
supposed, did great execution among the
copper skins. g5s ssg sai
| will relate to you a number of Incl
dents that occurred during the three days:
Col. McClung, of Mississippi. hegreat
duelist got upon the breastworks, waved
his hat, and was in the act of giving three
cheers, when ball struck him, from the
effects Of which he has since died.
Samuel w. Chambers, one. of1the RAN
gers, or ''the Delaware hero" as they
call him, got over the breastworks, OBJ
tanned foothold on the top of an l6-
FOUNDER, and deliberately took aim with
his Five. shooter firing with great eff. ct
and crushing the Mexicans until the
piece was taken by Gen. Worth and turn
ed on the city. Chambers escaped with
out wound % .b3o t5 .i,s
| Capt. Gillespy, of the Texas Rangers,
was killed while pouring water in-o the
/ tube of cannon, with the Mexicans
around him. But it is impossible for me
to mention ahthe numerous incidents that
occurred at the present time.
| Our army was about 1850 strong before
the battle, but is now about $500. miss
many noble fellow from the ranks. The
Mexicans were nearly double our number.
Their loss in killed and wounded is not
less than 1000. A great many were
killed in their houses, as we had to rush
i'll and shoot them down to stop their de-
structive fire from windows and house
tops. 9e p slss7s
We bury our dead to-day. and you may
Judge of my feelings at the dreadful sight
better than GIN describe them. The
whole field is like slaughter house, and
bodies are being buried in every direc-
ton. In short, have had enough of the
battle field, although determined to stand
up TO the rack throughout the campaign.
Some persons may and do like it, but be.
tween you and myself, l would much rath-
/ er be in Baltimore.
/ have been informed that not less than
sixty of the Baltimore regiment are killed
or missing. Notwithstanding our losses
and the heart-rending sight around US,
the soldiers are in high spirits this morn
ing on account of our brilliant victory,
and well we may be, for when we com
menced we never expected to gain it
The bristling Notifications looked almost
impregnable. But am called ON by the
Sergeant to go to work and to bury the
dead, SO must close fol the present.

AMERICAN FAcTs.-It is among the

in the United States no national fec ling,

institutions and productions of a people

be condemned by strangers. Here the
order is changed. If any work in litera
ture, art, or science, is by an American,
it is set down by the mob Of gentlemen
who talk of such matters, as altogether
worthless, or as deserving favorable re-
gard only on account of its resemblance
to something foreign. We reiterate a
few facts, admitted by the world abroad,

Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1846-08-21
Important to AbOIitiOniSts.

The Publishing Committee of the Bugle,
DESTROYS Ct placing the paper on a firm basis
and insuring pnnctuality in its publication
and n~eatness in its appearance, have thought
best to purchase a press and type, and estab-
lish a separate Office for it. They have there
fore purchased from ]. II. Painter and B. B..
Davis the press and other materials which
have for some time past been used in print
ing the paper. This arrangement at its com
mencement is necessarily somewhat expen-
sive, the cost of the Office being about $500.
To meet this, the Committee have concluded
upon the following plan:
LIST. That the amount be divided into TWEEN
ty shares of $25 each.
Cd. That interest shall be allowed on the
money paid in each share. if the purchaser
signifies, at the time of purchasing, his de.
sire to receive it.
Sd. That the Committee hold themselves
bound to redeem the stock within one wear
after the holder has paid in his last install
ment, or at the end of any subsequent year.
4th. That the Committee reserve the right
to buy in the stock whenever they feel dis
posed to do SO.
9Th. That the Press, Type and fixtures
shall be placed by the Committee in the hands
Of a Trustee to be used by him for printing
the Anti-Slavery Bugle, and such other work
as the Committee deem desirable.
Are there not persons enough among the
patrons and friends of the Bugle, who are
able, and who will be willing to take stock
in the office to the amount above stated J.
We believe there are, and we hereby appeal
to such for aid. The investment will be a
safe one, and though perhaps not profitable
in a pecuniary sense, we feel a confidence
that our friends will not be slow to come to
our assistance, even if some sacrifice is TO
be made in doing SO.
The first payment upon the Office, being one
half the whole amount, is to be made about
the LIST Of October, the balance to be paid in
two separate installments on the first of jan
uary and April next.
1t is desirable that an amount sufficient tn
meet the first payment should be received
from those who purchase stock, by the time
1t becomes due. If any, however, who are

An Appeal.

The Anti-Slavery Bugle has comm enced
its second volume, and now numbers more
than 1900 subscribers, averaging 100 for eve
ry month it has been published. The first year
Of its existence it was sustained in part by
the payments Of subscribers, and the def
cheney was made up by contributions princi-
pally from some five or six individuals. 1t
must, however, be obvious TO all that in or
der to push forward the Anti-Slavery cause,
all the contributions that can be obtained
must hereafter be used to pay the expenses
Of lecturing agents, and that the Bugle must
be sustained by other means than by using
a single dollar Of those contributions. Such
arrangements have therefore been made, and
hereafter no donations will be used to sustain
the Bugle, but they will all be applied to the
support of agents.
Three hundred more subscribers will be re-
quired to mako the subscription list meet the
expenses of its publication. Double this
number can be obtained in three weeks time
if the readers Of the Bugle will perform their
duty-a duty which they should by no means
neglect. Tho entire expense of publishing
the paper, that is not borne by the subscri-
bers, falls upon one individual who is now
paying between $50 and $40 per month out
of his W pocket to sustain the paper.-
How long do the abolitionists of the West
wish this individual to incur this monthly
expense TO sustain the Bugle, and keep lectur-
ing agents in the feldl How many of you
understand that you can do something to aid
the paper besides paying for The one which
you receive, by getting others to take it,
Almost every day l am told by readers of
the Bugle, that they could get some sub
scribers for it, but as they were not named as
agents, they did not know that it was ex-
pected that they should NEEDLE in this
matter
Now, my dear friends, each one of you
who reads the Bugle, is authorized and re-
quested to get all the subscribers you can
(who, you suppose, will pay for it within
the year, and send on their names to the pub
fishers. / have this proposition to make
that is, for each and all of you to go to ork
for this cause, and obtain a subscriber with
in one week from the time this reaches you,
and send on his or her name, and then ex-
anime the state of your own feelings, and see
if you are not happier for having performed
this small amount Of anti slavery labor.
And again, will not each one of you who
can afford to pay for a second copy OF tn @
paper, have it sent at your expense to some
friend whom you wish to convert
Respectfully, SAML. BROOKE.

Hard Pushed.

We think the advocates of Liberty marty
are indeed hard pushed when they speak of
John P. Hale as their nominee for the Pres
idency. What has become of oBirnev the
JustF" Where are the thousand and one
Liberty party men whose Intellectual and
moral worth gave them a fitting claim to the
Presidential chairl Are they gone, all gone?
What mducement is it that causes Liberty
party to turn away from its own children, and
seek in the ranks of the Independent Demo
Gratis a Presidential nominee? John p. Hale
is not of that party, then why should its adj
vocates speak of him as being suitable for
their candidate1
we will venture to mention one or two
things which seem to us to have had some
influence in bringing about such a state of
affairs. The party in New Hampshire has
sacrificed its principles, and has scarcely any
life or power remaining, and measures its nu-
merical strength by the votes polled by the
Independent Democrats. 1t has assorted
that the Independents have become identified
with itself, that Hale is in fact a kind of an
er 9Dtcto Liberty party man. Such is the
state of affairs in New Hampshire, and it is
probable that the Independent Democrats, if
they vote all at the Presidential election will
vote for the founder and leader of their party,
John p. Hale. Now it must be confessed it
would look rather strange on the one hand,
for taDo Liberty party candidates to be in the
field John P Hale of New Hampshire, and
L.. l.. Rice of Ohio, for instance or on the
other hand to have a very much diminished
vote for their ticket in the former State, after

EXtraneOuS Topics.

1t has been appropriately said that all the
charges prO-slavery brings against the Abo-
litionists, while false Of them is true of itself,
g. this is partIyor wholly so of Liberty party.
We have been denounced by that party for
dragging on TO the Antislavery platform the
woman question, non-resistance g., while
the fact is, these charges were made with the
same truth, sincerity and earnestness with
with which the p%ilferer cries "stop theft"
AT the 4th of July celebration at Madison,
a Liberty committee invited a speaker 10
bring his peace doctrines upon the a%nti-sla-
very platform ; and in the last No. of the
Cleveland American is an essay upon Non.
resistance, two columns and a half in length,
from the pen of Q. F. Atkins, whose name
and unfair dealing our readers know somc-
thing about. A more ridiculous attempt at
clerical auyrulness we have seldom seen. The
most beautiful precepts of christianity are per-
verted in order to subserve the purposes of
the writer. He would fain make his readers
believe that the non-resistance of the Bible
is a passive yielding 10 evil, a silent assent
to wickedness and oppression, a quiet sub
mission to the "powers that be-" rather than
that active and unyielding contest with sin
and iniquity which was ever maintained bv
Jesus and his followers. ssResist the Devil
and he will flee from you," is a scripture
text which we hope our non-resis;ant friends
Will remember when they meet Q. F. Atkins.
Liberty party on the Reserve, of whom
this Atkins is a representative, has found that
1t cannot successfully meet the Disunionists
on the anti-slavery platform, so its advocates
are dragging in extraneous topics in order to
divert the public attention and array the pre-
JUDGES OF the people against them, on ac-
count Of some theological opinions which
some Of them may hold. Oh, shame on such
trickery
The writer above alluded to, appears to
think that a plentiful sprinkling of epithets
will answer his purpose as well as

COLUMBUS, 9Th month, 18th, 1876.

Dear Friends and Editors Of the Bugle.
Having had the satisfaction of witnessing
for the last two evenings the exhibition of
some of the students of the High School, con-
Quoted by Hiram S. Gilmore in Cincinnati,
| thought it due to the friends of Humanity
and 10 those colored persons who may be in
duced TO avail themselves of the opportunity
that this institution affords, to those who APP
ply themselves, to become useful members
of society, and show to the world, by actual
demonstration, that the colored man has an
intellect capable of expanding and reaching
any attainment in proportion to its cultivation,
little, if any, inferior to that of the .anglo
Sdron race. The Exhibition (or rather Cea.
cert and Exhibition) was held in the house
belonging to the Second Presbyterian Socie-
ty, New School,) and was pretty well at
tended both nights, considering there was a
very large circus in town, which, of course,
created great excitement, and drew of, no
doubt, many who probably would otherwise
have attended. Our fellow-citizen, and CO.
worker In the cause Of Humanity, appears to
be we'll qualified for the station he occupies.
His arrangements for the exercises wero good,
and good order was maintained the students
were neatly dressed, and appeared very mod :
est and orderly they spoke and sung with a
Promptness not often excelled by those not
tinctured with African blood, and who have
had the most favorable advantages. All with
whom | have conversed that were present,
speak with delight and pleasure of the occa-
sion. They start this morning for Wooster ;
from thence they expect to go to other places in
the northern part Of Ohio. l hope they will be
greeted with full audiences, for | think this
one of the most efficient means of breaking
down that wicked prejudice that degrades
the colored man to the condition Of boot
black, and even a brute.
l remain yours for Humanity, in haste,
WARREN w. POLLARD.
