[ORDERs1 Washington, Dec. II, 1917.
But few days have passed away since the command
ant of the corps announced to its officers and soldiers the
death of one Of the oldest officers in it; and again
becomes his painful duty to that it has been de-
prved of still older officer.
Major and Brevet Lieut.. Col Samuel E. Watson, on
his return from campaign in Mexico, where he had ac
CURED honorable distinction for himself and all under his
command, was seized with a severe disease which ter
minated his life on the NH ult. He, and the gallant
Twggs, now occupy the same grave at Vera Cruz.
The commandant OF the corps cannot but feel deeply
the loss of brother officer with whom he has served
hamoniously for than thirtyfve years; but when
he has to deplore the death of valued and long tried
friend he can scarcely give expression to his feelings
The usual badge of mourning will be worn for him by
the officers of the corps for month, and the flag at
headquarters will be half masted to morrow
By order of the BIT. Brig. Gen. Comdt:

The Philadelphia North American" appeals to its
party in Congress to stand and act with energy and
with uuon 1t says that "we cannot doubt, and do
no, doubt that the wing majority in the House of Repre-
seniaves will be found united upon every fundamental
question. Their majority is SMALL and the interests
involved vast, that the instincts of ef-preservaon
will grid them round about and bind them together.
Whatever the policy of the party, its should be
so maured and agreed upon that the entire wing vote
will be secured for them; for the policy of the admins
traton will be 10 distract and divide u.s."
We adopt the advice, whilst we disclam the purposes
Tor which the wings called upon to combine their ex-
erions Werepubsh the suggestions of the wing organ
that we may show friends what spirited and
organized party they must be prepared to meet Our
motives are not less pure; principles are sounder
their tendency 10 promote the good of the country and
the spirit OF the constitution is decided It's impos-
sble therefore, that greater degree of union. harmony
and concession should not distinguish the democrats than
the wings They must be closely united than those
who are divided about the of prosecuting and
terminating the war

lBY JESSE h. Dow.l
The brazen trumpet calls to arms;
The flag of battle waves
Young Valor flies from Beautys charms,
And every danger braves;
Thro' dreary wastes and painless woods
The volunteer goes forth,
And shouts amid the solitudes
Inc war-cry OF the North.
Above the dead of other days
The gttering files advance
In passes wild, their cannons blaze
On many cleaning lance
On lofty towers and dizzy heights,
On ramparts sown with death
The Eagle Of the North alights
And braves the battle's breath.
They 90, the generous and young,
Their fathers pride and stay;
They lisped the patriots oath, and sung
The hymn OF glory's day;
The swords of Seyenty-sx they bear,
The old drums lead them ON,
The starry tiag-Oh! il is there
As when its fame won.
They fght-they bleed-they wln-they die
They sleep on every hill
The Aztec maid, with streaming eye,
Above them watches still
The rivers, whispering DER their sands,
Their names TO mountains tell,
And Fame repeats to other lands
How Freedoms soldiers fell.
They fight-they beed-they win--they live
They tread the royal halls
Their open hands rich blessings give
To Poverty's sad thralls
Their starry flag floats wide and free
Der Superstton'5 cells,
The valleys thunder liberty,
And high the anthem swes.
Who strews with horns the soldiers wayl
Who calls him back to shame
Who scorns the brave in glory's day,
And brands his honest name!
Who bids the conqueror's banner trail
The lion hearted turn
On NAME THEM NOT but draw a veil
Around their living urn.

The CONDITION OF FITALY.-Late accounts
show that Italy is on the eve of a revolution.
The Pope, the greatest refouner of the age,
has excited spirit which, we hope and trust
will continue 10 rise and extend, till it regen.
crates Italy, and restores its lost nationality.
The Austrian government, controlled and
guided by Meuernich, one of the wickedest
men Of any age, is attempting, fagilious ex-
pedimenis, to check this spirit Of progress
We doubt whether it will succeed in this
If il do not, we may regard the regeneration
of Italy as certain.
All Italy contains about twenty five millions
of people, and though the masses are not very
enlightened, still the educated portion are
highly intelligent and patriotic, and burning
with impatence for the redemption of their
country. Among all classes of Italians The
spirit OF republicansm prevails; fact easily
explained by Italian history. 1t was divided in
TO republics in the middle ages, several of
which existed at the commencement of the
French revolution iu 1889, and two of which
Lucca and San Marno, are still existing
Excepting in Naples, no king was knwn in
Italy, from a shor. period after the destruction
Of the Roman Empire or about the year $50,
till the kingdom oil Sardinia was created a.
bout seventy years ago. lis small States,
Parma, Placensia, Milan, Tuscany and others,
though with arbitrary governments for many
years, had never known an Italian crowned
head, till Napoleon became Emperor OF
France and king of l.aly. And during his ca
reer, he did much 10 reform, resuscitate and
regenerate Italy, bis native country. Hence
the political recollec,ions of the Italians are
much associated with republicanism, and in
any general insurecion, they would natu.
rally rally beneath republican banner
Then if the different States of Italy should
unite under national government, il must
necessarily be Of the federal characier.-
The different States have been 100 long sep
araied for consolidation, ,and monarchy is no
the head for a federal government. Among
the revoluiionists OF 1889, the fayorie pro
ject was a national union as 'The United
States of Italy,
The enemies ofItaly are France and Aus
iria. The latter already possesses Venice
Milan, and some other northern provinces
and is ravenous for more; and Louis Philippe
who hates revolutions in favor of popula
rights, though he began as Jacobie, and i:
indebted 10 popular revolution for bis crown
earnestly opposes the Pope's reformaiions
Then, like the Austrian, the French govern
ment is hungry for territory, and in any con
vultion in Italy, would seize the kingdom
and the island of Sardinia, and the forme
the republic ofGenoa.
