TO THE BEREAVED.
ny DIR. JOHNSON.

Now everywhere mid joyous cheers,
The patriotic volunteers
With hearty welcome met;
But there are missing many dear
And loved ones! With mournfu tear,
All! many eyes are wet
Ye faithful wives who are bereit
OF husbands, and poor widows left,
Do Justly weep and mourn!-
God made a fountain TO the heart
Through which streams forth such grievous
smart,
AS else might not be borne.
But don't give way to sad dispair!
As worthy wives of heroes bear
Their fall! Your God may bless
You! And your grateful country will
Your dear bought claim on her fulfil,
And help you in distress!
Ye little orphans there's above
A gracious Father full Of love-
Who will protect you all!
Whene'er with tears your eyes are wet,
Your countrymen shall not forget
Your gallant fathers fall!
Thou youthful bride, whose heart did burn
With fondest hope for the return
OF thy betrolhed groom,
Bewairs, now, since thine eager eye
Could not his well known form descry,
Thy loss in lonely goom
Cheer up! He's gone! He loved thee well!
He told comrade, as he fell,
His true fair maid to greet!
Don't mourn too long!-Wnh love aud Joy
Thy heart may fill another boy,
As valiant, true and meet!
Ye parents an, be not dismased,
Ye know What Spartan mothers said
Who loved their sons, but gave
Them up when danger was at hand,
To serve and save their fatherland!
Ye, surely, are as brave!
'Tis sweet and glorious to die
For oue's own country, and to lie
In free soil down to rest!
Ye parents of a gallant son,
Who has immortal glory won,
BY God and man are blest.

'a'ion TO all the measures of policy which /
divide the two great parties Of the coun.

Why shonl the wings support him!
Because, although "a whig, but not an
ultra one he declares he viii not run as
the exponent Of whig principles; and he-
! cause, further. he has avuwed an entire
willingness to accept nomination at the
hands of,he Democracy.

Because, in addition to being the noni

lie is also the regularly nominated oanGi
dat of the fanatical and church burning
party, the natives.
Why should high protective tariff men
support him.
Because, under the doctrines of his Al
lison letter, lie would. as President, inter-
pose no objection to the adoption of free

that on such subjects ms the tariff &C.. the
will of Congress ought to be carried out.
Why should the anti protecttonists sup

Because lie ia the nominee of the high
protective party.
Why should those who have been ene-
mics Of the war supper, him!
Because he recommended the forward

-0n Saturday night, the 18th instant, some
seventy seven slaves belonging to persons in
Washington and Georgetown, d. c., embark
ed on board small vessel, and proceeded down
the Potomac with view of making their es-
cape. A steamer was subsequently, despatch

The affair created great excitemen, and the in
dignation manifested against the authors and
abettors of this wholesale abduction was of the
most violent nature.

SUMMARY PRocEss.-The New Albany BuI
letin says that: Since the killing of Davis, at
Charlestown, in this State, by Hanover, noticed
by us some two Or three weeks ago, the citizens
of Charlestown held meeting on the public
square and passed a resolution requesting the
keeper ofthe grocery in which the murder was
committed to close his house and refrain from
further sale of spirituous liquors. He re-
fused to comply with the request of the meet
g,when the citizens entered the house, re-
moved the liquor to the street, and emptied it
upon the ground, agreeing to pay all damages
that might be sustained by the vender, and
passed series of resolutions declaring that no
liquor should be sold within the limits of the
town.

GEN. TAYLoR'S REPLY.
Baton ROUGE, La, March "a,

BATON ROUGE, La, March "a, 1913.
My DEAR SIR: Your communication, under
date of Feb. u, 1913, accompanied by an in
troductory communication from the Hon. Mr..
Crittenden, have been duly received.
The subject matter presented by you would
have been attended 10 much sooner, but for a
visit of some weeks up the river, which has
prevented an earlier consideration and reply.
Before replying, directly, to several particu-
lar points touched upon in your letter, permit
me to say, in general terms, in reference TO the
current impression, that my official Report had
done great injustice to the Indiana Volunteers,
that nothing has been developed, since the
date of that report, and no statement in an of
fetal shape has been made 10 me, which, in my
Judgment, affects its accuracy, saving only in
the case of the official reports Supplemental
of Gen. Lane, on the Sd, 5tha and 9th of March,
1917. and which, as they were forwarded to the
War Department at Washington. were deem
ed sufficient correction to my own, without
burdening that office with additional reports
You are right in the suPposition that per
sonal observation on the field, and reports o
subordinate commanders, are the proper anC
only busiS upon which commanding Genera
Gun frame his reports My official statemen
of the conduct of the different corps at the bat
tie of Buena Vista was made strictly IN &C
cordance with this principle, and so far as thu
conduct of the Second Indiana Regiment wa
reported to me, officially, my own observation
| In most cases, sustains the truth and accurac
J of these reports.

which any one objects, instead of stopping his
paper or scandalizing the editor, let him walk

the editor to defend himself and opinions, and

TIE TREATY DocUMENTs.-M Bennett, of
the New York Herald, is at Washington as a
witness before the Senate. The Tribune cor
respondent says he is about, Or has testified,
that man named Symington, a reporter for
the Union, offered to furnish the treaty and
Trst correspondence for $500, which the Her
aid gave for them. He afterwards refused the
latter, unless an addition of 800 was paid
This the Herald refused to give, and the docu-
ment was sold to the Journal of Com nerce for
Sl20.-Cin. Eng.
So it seems that the reporter of the Union
sold copy of the treaty for publication. The
Union does the confidential printing of the
Senate and is the Presidents official organ.
The Louisville Journal says that when the
Presidentattempted give, thrugh MIR. Nugent,
mortal stab at Mr. Buchanan for the crime of
furnishing copy of the treaty for publication,
probably he little thought that the act would
be brought home upon his own organ.

OEWe are really rejoiced to hear that our
good friend CHANDLER, of the Evansville Jour-
nat, has been so successful with his excellent
and spirited sheet during the last year, that he
has been compelled by his increasing business
and the wants of that fourishing community,
to issue his paper daily, instead of tri-weekly
The daily sheet is to be considerably enlarged
May success attend him.-LouisviiLe Courier
We thank our excellent friend Haldeman for
his good wishes, and beg leave to inform him
and thepublic..that, after trying the Daily for
week, we are satisfied it will succeed. 1t was
not to be expected that we could from the very
start make the Journal all that such paper
should be. There are thousandlittle arrange
ments necessary to the successful issue of a dai
ly paper that require time and experience to
make, but which weare fast accomplishing
and in short time hope obe able to announce
our entire success. So far we are greatly en-
couraged. Our merchants, mechanics, and
tradesmen, have been most libhral in their ad-
vertising patronage, and we are promised still
greater increase III that line,-while our. sub
scription list, both to the daily and weekly pa
per is increasing beyond our most sanguine ex-
pectations. In fact our citizens of all opinions
seem pleased at our success, and a0illing to aid
us by their smiles and irpatronage.. When
such is the case it is pleasure to work for the
public, and such we esteem it, and we are de-
termined to labor, unremittingly, for the good
of our city and our patrons.
When all our engagements are completed, we
shall be able to presenta daily sheet that will
stand second to none in the West, no, notevento
those best of papers, the louisville dailies; and
we know when we accomplish that we will
receive the support ofevery man in the com
munity. For that we are striving and are de-
termined to win.

SINKING OF THE ROBERT FULToN.-A letter
from Steubehville, dated 10Th inst, says: 'sThe
steamer Robert Fulton, from Pittsburgh, bound
down, ran on the rocks at Browns Island,
above this place to-day, breaking her bottom
timbers badly, and sunk Immediately.
By the efforts of Captain Collier, the boat
was raised by means of a bulk-head, and he
managed TO getherdown TO that place, where
she now lies.
She had over l9o passengers, and considera-
bic freight. The cargo is of course somewhat
injured. The boat will no doubt be immedi-
ately taken backto Pittsburgh and repaired.
