From the Message Of jeff Davis to his
rebel Congress at Richmond it is very cvidcn,
that he Will rest satisfied with nothing short
of a recognition of his Confederocy. The
talk about peace, and a reconstruction of the
Union, is the weakest K ind of baGerdash, and
can deceive no one with the least gumption
whatever. The only question now open, is,
Shall we retain the so-callvd seeded Satss
by force, or shall we let them take themselves
off bag and baggage2 That is just the long
and the short of the whole matter, and We
may as well look it square in the face at once,
and determine what we intend doing. The
States that want to go off so unceremoniously,
without even saying, "by your leave are
the common property of the whole people of
the Union. The men Of the West, of the
North, and OF the East, all have an interest
in them. They were acquired and purchased
by the blood and treasure of the people of
every section of our country. We have all
struggled and swcated for their benefit, as
much as we have for that of the loyal States
and to plain people, who don't understand
Secession logic it seems rather queer that
they should now be allowed to set up on ther
own hook, and do just as they please. Was
any pleasure to be taxed year after year
for the purpose of buying territory, erecting
Notifications and public buildings on it, and
paying an army to fight for, and protect it
Or have we endured the burdens that have
been laid upon us for the purpose of obtain
ing. protecting, and governing these States,
cut of pure philanthropy What did we
want with Louisiana, Florida. Texas, etc.,
etc, at the price they cost US? Was it to
perfect, round out, and strengthen our glorious
Union; or was it TO advantage gang of
perjurers, thieves and re- bells
If we have all along been playing the fool
by extending our dominons, and are now
going to take the back track by letting such
States as please slough off, we may as well
commence by recognizing the Southern Con-
federacy, thereby admitting the right of
secession, and throwing down the very found
alton pillars of our Republic. But if we think
we have been acting wisely, and consider the
Government our fathers gave us, and on which
we have been improving, the best on the face
of the earth, let US stand by it, and fight for
it as long as there is dollar left to buy
powder, or man to handle musket. Tile
day for talk has gone by We must now
act. Let us do one thing or the other

PASSAGE OF TRoors.-During the past
and present week the 3 months men have
been returning home by way of the p. W. u
b., Railroad to be disbandcd. 1t is autho,i-
tatively stated that the majority of them will
ro-cnlist for the war.
While these troops are leaving the scat of
war, new regiments are arriving in their
place, by the Northern Central railroad
which road has the contract for conveying
the new three years troops-at rate of three
new arrivals to one departure so that the
army on the Potomac will, ere long, be as
large, aud well equipped as the Government
requires, and under the leadership of Gen.
Mcclellan, a forward movement will COM
mence, that will result in clearing Eastern
Virginia Of the hordes of despolism and plum
der, as the brilliant exploits of that gallant
commander have swept the scourge of war
from the Western part of the state.

slowly. and to but very few of the men.-
Many are the Disappointing we have upon
the arrival of the letter carrier to our camp.
The weather has for the last few days, been
excessively warm during the middle Of the

We have had number Of storms during
the last week, one of which on Wednesday
night lasted several hours. The rain came
down in torrents, but we all came out dry in
the morning, Our tents lrW protect us from
storm if they are put mp properly. We still
have the pleasure Of seeing good many Of
our friends. And they all appear to think
of US before coming: for we certainly do
receive a great many presents from home. -
Yesterday, Mr.. Allanus SaXton, from Cherry
Hill. brought us a bushcl or two of cakes.
We all have our uniform and our arms
The men are improving very much with
their diill and will soon be fit to 20 into
active service. We do not knom whdt day ace
uM leare hrre most likely not fol a week. -
Weare under marching orders, and liable to
DC ordered away at any hour.
The men are all well, except Norris Smith
who has been sent home to his mothers at i.
d. Carriers paper mill. Oar company is as
quiet a set OF fellows as you ever knew a
quarrel is never heard among them, because
they know it is not allowed. Excuse the
hanncss Of this letter and accept the thanks
of our company for your Kindness. Hoping
our friends at home ale all well remain
truly yours, BIG Elk.

General Cox reached Gauley Bridge OF

fighting. destroying the bridge to prevent
pursuit. We have captured thousand
muskets and several kegs of common powder
Many inhabitants Of that section, who have
heretofore been strong Sccesslonists, denounce
General Wise for his wanton destruction Of
property, and are abandoning him and his
cause. His Western troops are rapidly dis
banding. The valley of the Kanawha is now
free from the rebel forces.

THE PASSING CLOUD.

o cloud. so beautiful and feet,
Passing where fierce suns burn and beat,
Ger nights untrOd by human feetl
Chameleon cloud, Of iris hue,
As changeful as a drop Of dew,
How many shapes in moments fewl
A car, globe, golden gloom,
How many forms thou dost assumed
A mountain, pyramid or tomb.
So many shapes beneath the sun,
SO many dyes that fusing run;
And beauty still in every one.
Tinged with the hue the rainbow cast
On snow peaks, where their image fast
Fades down before the scowling blast.
Such golden light the young moon threw
Upon the still drops Of the dew,
What time the night.wind fresher blew.
Such lustre water-llies throw
Upon the brook that lies below,
l,lpping their blossoms with It's flow.
T'would make a brain-sick painter pine
10 win hue to match with thine
To make his martyrs mantle shine.
In such a cloud the angels seek
The hermit on the granite peak,
SO pale, 30 humble, and so meek.
Such cloud when Jesus, long ere day,
Has sought the mountain top TO pray,
A halo round him seemed to play.
