A Rallying Song.

Friends of the Union, raise your banner on high,
Let the breeze bear il upward, aloit to the sky
From the North to the South, the East and the
West,
Rally round the standard Of the cause that is
best.
On, brethren, onward with the words Of the sage,
That shine SO brightly ON our history's page
+" Divided We fall, but united We stand"
And our Great Ruler will keep us in hand.
Young men and old men, onward still press;
Put your shoulders to the wheel Of the great
car
OF Libcrty, whose freight is richly to bless
Our glorious country, and oil that come from
atar.
Patriots, like 1srael's great King, let your
courage ne'er fail
March Oh, though like Shimcl of old, your foes
may assnil;
The great God of David shall rcquite us in good,
All who by the standard of the Union have stood
While tyrants shall tremble and how down
In the presence of Him, whose terrible trown
Will pursue with His vengeance all that opprcss,
We will look to His power the cause Of our
Union to bless.
Then let the star spanglcd banner arise,
With your prayers borne aloft to the skies
l4ct Americas great eagle fly over the main,
With the names of our leaders, BrccEinridge
and Lane!

Cor HIM THERE Hon. Reuben Davis and
Col. Langdon, Of Mobile, met in debate few
days since, at Abcrdeen--the latter having pre-
viously addressed the citizens of that place in
the interest of Belleveritism. An interesting
feature of the discussion is thus related by the
Sunny South:
The debate was opened by Gen. Davis in one
Of bis happiest efforts, and was an able and tell
ing vindcation Of the Democratic party from
the assaults now being made upon IL by the OPP
position presses and speakers. He also rubbed
off about peck of the white-wasling which
Col Langdon had plastered over the records of
the Union candidates in his speech Of the day
before and completely wiped out a charge he
had preferred against Mr.. Yancy, and fastened
it, with the fetters of the record, upon MIR. Bell
Col. Langdon had said in his speech on Mon
day, with triumphant oratorical flourish, that
John Bell never voted for the Wilmot Provi-
so. but VIM. L. Hancey did," This brought down
the Bell side of the house with laundering ap.
plause. Gen. Davis brought ont the record on
Tuesday morning, from which he showed that
"Wm. l.. Yancey never voted for the Wilmot
Proviso, but John Bell poted for IT. The raps
cheers and screams which greeted this develop
ment fairly shook the Courthouse, and sent ter
ror and dismay into the ranks of the Bcllitcs
Col. Langdon: In his reply, admitted that hi
had been mistaken said he had seen the charge
against Yancey in the newspapers for a montl
past, and having never seen it contradicted, HI
took it for granted that it was true.

MIR. Douglas in Ohio.

TIE PRESIDENTIAL AsPlRANr IN HIS SHIRT SLEEVES
We give below an account, furnished by the
Cincinnati Commercial, of the manner in which
the Presidential aspirant addressed "magnf.
cent procession" of his friends, at Urbana. Ohio,
lately. The more that we hear of Stephen A.
Douglas, the further does he seem to have fall
len into contempt and political dccreptude.--
He makes his pilgrimage in search Of his mother
a subject of ribad jest; and why? Merely to
raise an empty laugh in hopes that the brutal
tastes of his hearers would be pleased, ard that
on the 9th of November, he would receive their
votes. He speaks Of Lincoln as his friend; and
informs his gaping audience that he "made a
speech at the grave of Lincola,s grandfather
aud then cheers himself with the reflection that
"Lincoln has been wanting to go and see bis
mother, but he daresn't do it," And lie the,
asks question, "What do you think of can
didate for the Presidency who cannot visit h
grandfathers grave?" And we will ask th
people question: What do you think of
candidate for the Presidency who goes abou
the country stumping every State, and talking
to the people in his shirt-sleeves? What do yo
think of q candidate who makes the grave q
his opponents grandfather theme Of laughte
aud derision? Let the people answer thes
questions by voting down the political harle
quin on the 9th of November.
The Commercial says:
In the evening there was torchlight proce
sion Of men and boys, containing. by actu:
count, 800 torches. The procession halted {
the Exchange Hotel and called fdr Douglas

LATE SowN WHEAT.-A Kentu

LATE SowN WHEAT.-A Kentucky
farmer, writes the Louisville Courier that
he thinks farmers in his section sow their
wheat too early, as early sown wheat is
more liable to injury from the Hessian
fly. This is true, but with rs late sown
wheat is more liable to injury from the
midge-and so we have to steer between
these two evils as much as possible. He
states that for the last five years he has
sown his wheat after the 18th of October
last year from the 18th to the 2sth--
and in all these years he has never missed
a good crop, While his neighbors We're
"complaining of fly, freezing out and rust,
he has escaped all, producing from twenty
to thirty five bushels of good bright wheat
to the acre" He sows with drill.

CEMENT For Holes IN CASTINGS
The best cement fer this purpose is made
BY mixing one part of sulphur in powder,
two parts in sol ammoniac, and eighty
parts of clean powdered iron, turnings.
Sufficient water must be added to make it
into thick paste, which should be pressed
into the holes or scames which are TO Be
filled up. The ingredients composing this
cement should be kept separate, and not
mixed until required for use. 1t Is to be
applied cold and the casting should not be
used for two or three days afterward.
