SONG OF THE SWORD.

SONG OE TIKI EWO6D.
A PARODY on THE "sosG OF THE SHIRT"
Weary, and wounded, and worn
Wounded, and ready 10 die,
A soldier they left, all alone and forlorn,
On the battle field 10 lie.
The dead and the dying alone
Could Their presence and pity afford;
Whilst with a sad and terrible tone,
He sang the Song Of the Sword.
Fight! fight, fight!
Though thousand fathers die;
Fight! fight! fight!
Though thousands of children cry;
Fight! fight! fight!
Whilst mothers and wives lament;
And fight fgh,i fight!
Whilst millions Of money are spent
Fight fight! fghtl
Should the cause be foul or fair;
Though all that's gained is an empty
name,
And tax too great to bear;
An empty name and paliry fame,
And thousands lying dead;
Whilst every glorious victory
Must raise the price OF bread.
War! war; war;
Fire, and famine, and sword;
Desolate fields and desola,e towns
And thousands scattered abroad
With never home and never shed
Whilst kingdoms perish and fall,
And hundreds and thousands are lying
dead,
And all--for nothing at all
All! why should such morals as |
Kill those that we never could hate2
II is obey your commander or de-
II is the law Of the Sword and the State
For we are the veriest slaves
That ever had their birth;
For to please the whim Of q tyrant's vii
Is all our use upon earth.
War! war! warl
Musket, and powder, and ball:
Ahl what do we fight so for
All why have we any battles at all .
IT is justice must be done, they say.
The nations honor TO keep.
Alas! that justice is so dear,
And human life SO cheap!
II is sad that Christian land
A professedly Christian State,
Should thus despise that high command
So useful and so great
Delivered by Christ himself on earth.
Our constan, guide 10 be,
To Glove our neighbors as ourselves,
And bless sur enemy"
War! war! war!
Misery, murder, and crime,
Are all the blessings have seen in thee
From my youth to the present time;
Misery, murder, and crlme,-
Crime, misery, murder, and woe
All would had known in my younger
days
A tenth OF what now know;
An had but known in my happier days,
In my hours of boyish slee,
A tenth of the horrors and crime Of war
a tiihe Of It's misery:
now had been joining a happy band
Ofwife and children dear,
And / had led in my native land.
Instead Of dying here.
And many long, long day of wos,
And sleepless night untold,
Aud drenching rain, and drifting snow,
Ana WEAKNESS. famine, and cold,
And worn ont limbs, and aching heart,
And grief too great to tell.
And bleeding wound, and piercing smart,
Had escaped full wei.
Blu, though with such sorrow and woe
Thy progress must always abound
All, were il only below
Tha, the fruits Of the curse could be
found:
But war wari warl
From all that ever could see,
F'ull many groan. II, the future world,
May be traced, | fear, 10 thee.

MARTIvsBURG VIRGINIA. THURSDAY MoRNING JANUARY

BROTHER JoNATHAN-The origin of this
term, applied TO the United States, is given in
a recent number of the Norwich Courier
The editor SAYS it was communicated BIZ an
intelligent gentleman, now upwards OF so years
Of age, who was an active participator in the
scenes Of the revolution. The story is as fol-
lows.
"When General WASHINGTON, after being
appointed commander OF the army Of the rev
olution, came TO Massachusetts to organize it,
and make preparations for the defence of the
country, he found great destitution ofammu-
milton and other means necessary to meet the
powerful foe he had 10 contend with. and
great difficulty to obtain them Ii attacked in
such a condition, the cause al once might be
hopeless. On one occasion, at that anxious
period, consultation of the officers and 9th
ers was had, when il seemed no way could be
devised TO make such preparation as was ne
cessary. His excellency loN4THAH TRUa-
BULL the elder who was then Governor oi the
State OF Connecticut. on whose judgment and
aid the General placed the greatest reliance,
remarked we must consult Brother Jonathan
on the subject The General did So aud the
Governor was successful in supplying many
Of the wants of the army. When difficulties
after arose, aud the army was spread over the
country, it became byword, we must cen
suit Brother Jonathan The term Yankee is
stllapped TO aportion, but Brother Jonathan
has now become a designation OF the whole
country, as JoHN BULL has lor England"

A CONGRESS OF NATIONS.

The New York Evening Post publishes an ad-
dress of Mr.. Louis Chtti, who signs himself
'Commjssloner of the Belgian Government, for
merIy Professor of Political Economy. now on n
mission TO the United States of America This
document is an ''nvitation to the Political Econ.
omlsts and enlightened citizens of the United
States. to attend a Congress of artzans and op-
Ponents OF Free Trade, to be held at Brussels,
(Begum,) on the 9Th day of Sept. 1S4l.''
Mr.. Chitt is a warm advocate of Free Trade
the doctrines of which, he says, he has proclaim
ed all his life. His address shows him to be
man of fine talents, and well versed in the SUBJ
ject OF which he speaks. He urges this assem-
blage of the friends and opponents of Free Trade
with great earnestness. and considers that much
good will result from discu sion Of the whole
subject. and particularly its bearing upon the do.
mestic interests of each country, as woll as upon
the unusual interests Of nations.
The central position Of the kingdom of Begi.
um, and the full aud perfect liberty which its in
habIlants ENJOY, are regarded as very favorable
TO the accomplishment of this grand project. All
shades Of opinion are invited TO attend, for the
reason, that "the discussion, in order to be COM
plete, ought 10 be sustained by partzans of differ
ent IDEAS" Mr.. G. states that many very emf
nent men have accepted the invitation of the Bel.
gian Association. The great political economists
of France, Germany, England and Italy, and
men occupy high social rank, have promised to
attend the Congress; and there is only wanting
the presence Of the distinguished men of the u.
States, to complete the representaton To these
Mr.. chiiti is commissioned, by the projectors OF
this assembage, to present this invitation. The
letters of acceptance should be directed TO the
President of the Belgian Association for the
