NEw ENoLAND's DEAD! New Engiand's dead!
On every hill they lie;
On every field of strife made red
BY bloody victory.
Each valley where the battle poured
Its red and awful tide.
Beheld the brave New England sword
In slaughter deeply dyed.
Their bones are on the northern hill,
And on the southern plain,
BY brook and river, lake and rll,
And by the roaring main.
The land is holy where they fought,
And holy where they fell;
For by their blood that land was bought
The land they loved so well
TLen glory TO that valiant band,
The honored sayiors Of the land
o, few and weak their numbers were,
A handful Of brave men
Bat TO their God they gave their prayer,
And rushed to battle then.
The God of battles heard their cry,
And sent them forth 10 victory.
They left the plougllshare in the mould,
Their flocks and herds without fold,
The sickle in the unshorn grain,
The corn. half garnercd on the plain,
And mustered in their simple dress,
For wrongs 10 seek stern redress.
To right those wrOngs-come veal, come wo,

And where are ye, o fearless men,
And where are yc today,

That ye have passed away

The grass grows green-the harvest bright,
Above each soldiers mound.

And they heed not its roar.

From their old graves shall rouse them not,
For they haze passed array.

c-y" Admiral Napier, who commands the
British fleet in the Baltic, figured in the war
against the United States in 1912, and not
very crcditably, as he was joined with CSch-
ranc and Cockburn making war upon the
flrm-houscs and hen-roosts of the Virgins,
farmers. One of his letters Ingcrsoll's histo-
ry mentions, taken during the war, dated
June "a, 1914, says:
"TIcrc am in Lynnhavcn Bay, the clippers
sailing every day. and losing them for want
of fast saicrs. have pctitioned the Prince
Regent in behalf Of the whole Of us for a
good slice Of prize money. Excuse this hasty
scrawl. am in Il Id bad humor, having
just returned from an unsuccessful chase"
We hope he will find the Baltic service
calculated to put him in better humor.

THE " AR.

a New York paper il specializing upon
the attitude of affairs in relation to the Tur-
co-Russian difficulty says, more desperate
more bloody grows the prospect of the Eu-
ropean war. a Simultaneous fall in the
funds, cotton and hrcadstuts, indicates less
confidence in the result Of the contest than
has hitherto been felt ir England, a check
in the voluntary subscriptions. in France
shows that the slacri,y with which the French
responded TO the call Of the Emperor has
begun 10 decay. Anxiety, of the most pain
iul kind, with regard to the position o!PruS-
sia and Austria, pcrvadcs every article in the
two organs of the Western governments.
Nor is that anxiety without foundation. The
negotiations still pending between the Ger
man governments and Rrsa-thc scrupul-
Gus silence observed by Austra-and the
new loan proposed TO the Chambers fPrus-
sia-are ominous symptoms. Meanwhile the
Gar is entrenching his position on every
side. lie has no answer TO give 10 Great
Britain and France. but 10 strengthen the
ports on the Baltic, rcft bis tlce. and press
the attack on kalctut Suppose he be beaten
at these points: suppose Six Charles Napier
destroy the Russian fcct,and blockade the
Gulf of Finland, willie the Black Sea is
swept by the allied fea>. and the Tanks
maintain their position on the Danube, what
is 10 prevent the Gar fom concentrating
his alliance with the Conan Powers, and
marching an army of 100000 men from the
Nstula TO the Rhine, and thence TO the walls
of Paris If he did so. what guarantee have
we that England would be faithful 10 her
ally-that 4 new ministry would not SUPER
sede the present cabinet, aud pursue policy
dramatically opposed to the Palmcrston sys-
tenn! Such things have been done before
and the attractions of peace, the fear of in
jury 10 the commerce, mi oh. certainly bring
them TO pass again. Whether they occur or
no, il is certain that every mail aggravates
the prospects of tho war, and renders even Il
brief duration of hosiiliics more and more
improbable.

"By the way, it is whispered among the

PROPOSITION FOR MEDIATION.

|
! A resolution was introduced iu the Southern
Convention, by u gentleman from Georgia.
calling upon Congress to take such steps rs
may be calculated to prevent general war
in Europe and preserve the peace OF the
world rs n general outburst, as promised by
the writer, would endanger the value of the
Southern staple. From has;y glance at
the proceedings, there seem to have been a
good many subjects brought before the
Convention not contemplated by the origi-
nal organization; and a good many gentle
men appear to have gone there with no other
aim than to introduce resolution or two,
make few remarks, and fall back. To this
class we suppose the introduccr of the rcso.
luton referred to belongs: for one could
hardly believe him to be in earnest in asking
our government TO poke lis fingers into the
affairs Of Europe at moment when the
leash has been slipped aud the dogs of war
let loosc--when the hunt is up and the game
in full! view. The Turk and the Russ already
have each other by the throat, and the
mighty armaments of England and France
are approaching the scene Of action. Ere
this the STANDARD of the Prophet. the Banner
Of ST. George, and the Lily of France will
have mingled their folds together TO drive
back and conline within proper limits the en-
croaching power of despo,ism that aims at
oyershadowng the world. What proprety
would there be in our government stepping
in with its proilcred mediation at this late
hour in the afternoon! No--stand aoot and
let the fight 90 braveIy on. What matters it
if blood flows like water and the plains of
Europe become whitcned with human bones,
so that thrones topple and dynasties crumble,
and the tyrants who have their iron heels
upon the nccks Of the people perish in the
melcc' The world will be all the better for
it, when the battle is ended and the fight is
done, and peace once more resumes her mild
and gentle sway. GLANDS Off" should be
our motto thougrthc Southern staple should
depreciate in value. A general European
war may not result in the entire cntranchsc.
mcnt and liberty Of the people, but if it
weakcns and destroys any of the rotten and
corrupt dynastics under which they have so
long suffered and groancd, it will be q step
forward at least, and that will be worth all
the blood and treasure the struggle will cost.
Without the shedding of blood there is no
hope for the release Of the people of the old
world from under the iron heel of despo.
tism, and although the triumph may be
achieved mid blasted fields, where the hoof
OF desoIation has passed, and blazing ham
lets, yet better that far better that than ty.
rannics, seNtude, paupcrsm, and bcggary
for their posterty. No--no-no mediation
now. Let the fight go on, though the great
Southern staple should run down toa penny
n pound.
