UNION SONG.

REGIMENT.
WnEN our fathers IN vain sought redress from the throne
And the tyrGnt grew mad ia his thir.t ior dominion,
Earth shook while the buss Of connic, was blown
And our eagle unfolded hs newly-fsdged pinion.
Men with hair thin and white,
Barred their arms FOR the light,
And tho lad Of sixteen made the dull weapon bright;
While gliding the battle storm, rolling in wrath,
The staraas Of freedom streamed full their path
The bird to that banner forever allied
Was born In the cloud aud bsptiled by the thunder
And deeply IN blood will bis talon, bs dyed,
Ere It's clustering stars shall be hVel asunder
And feroeiy their lIsht,
Through the smoke Of the fight,
Shall hash, making traitors grow pale ct the sight.
And tho sun, oyertsken by death, shall grow cold,
When tho BAN We hail is no longer unrolled.
Black treason shah never put foot on the lag
That Goated the bias. when CORVALLIS wa. taken
And ere Il give place to a Palmetto rag
The dead on the fields Of their fame viii awaken.
Oh shall tho fured
Bringing night on the world,
While The house Of our father. Ia ruin ia huredl
The brigand and traitor may hear Ioply
III the clash Of our steel and the rAlying cry.
Our bold Harry Clay loved this land Of the free,
His name from Old Jackson we viii not discover
Then spced DO your ASH to the lliekory.tIee,
Ard let them DO symbola Of Union forever.
Without fear IN lhelr hearts,
Well they acted their parts,
Though traitors showered them their deadesl darts
Aud true TO their Maker aud faithful to man.
The standard Of Freedom they bore In the
From tho North to tho Tropie shall float the gallo
Our ssriag, upheld by tho brave and the justi
Though wIeiched Disunion bsrditti sssail,

New MILITARY CoMPANIEs-We have
published accounts of the formation of mill
itary companies in several towns and cities,
and applications are constantly made for
arms at headquarters, but the limited num-
Der in the possession of the State at the
present time will make it necessary for those
who desire to perfect themselves in the drill,
to use such weapons as they may have on
hand. We learn that requisition has
been made on the United States for one
thousand rifed muskets for the use of the
first regiment, and when these are received,
the State will have an ample supply for the
newly organized volunteer companies.
A rife company has been formed at
Nininger, of which Lieut.. Gov. Donnelly is
captain. The Adjutant General has allowed
them the use of fifty bronzed muskets, until
rifles can be obtained.
In Blue Earth county, cavalry company
has been organized, of which B. F. Smith,
ESQ.,, is captain. They have received from
the State fifty sabres, pistols, &c. This
company is organized with the special OBJ
ject of defending the frontier from any hos
tile incursions of the Indians.

A Coon CuRRENcY.-The farmers of
Minnesota have very wisely determined not
to sell their grain, except forgold or silver.
The consequence is, that the grain buyers
are now receiving gold by express, to satisfy
the demands of the farmers. If our farmers
maintain their present position with unan-
unity, they can, within thirty days, drive
Gus almost every dollar of paper money.
We trust the farmer who has dollars
worth of grain to sell, will keep it in his
granery, unless he can get the gold or sill
yer for it. His wheat is better than any
paper money and nothing but gold and
silver is its equal.

FLIGHT OF THE EAGLE - M onday af-
ternoon, the American eagle, belonging to
Mr.. Racquet, again got loose and took his
final departure. He rose from the yard,
where he was confined, to the height of fifty
feet, and alighted on the roof of that dimin-
utive but revered temple of Justice, behind
whose altar Judge Strother oficiates, and
calmly surveyed the motley assemblage
below for few moments, and then scared
aloft into a serener air, and sailed away
over the river in a southerly direction, soon
becoming lost to view.

We are indebted in our little precinct to Mrs.
G. p. V. Lull for very beautiful flag, which
bears the stars and stripes.
To-day, about IL o'clock, we came together
en- masse, some 40 in number. A Flagstaff was
erected upon one end of our hotel, when Mr..
Lull, our Captain, hoisted the colors to it's top;
upon which three cheers for the Union were
given, then there was fred in quick succession

assure you, although we are within step of
the British dominions, and although we are de-.
prived of knowing from day to day what is go
ing on at our Capital, the patriotic feeling
arises to as great pitch here, within the
breasts of what few inhabitants we have, as it
does in the interior of our new State, Mime.

Vegetation was fully as far advanced here

Scarcely farmer, however, between this
point and Breckenridge, has escaped the effects
of the high water. They had here. at this
place, 35 feet rise, which has not been known
stage very long. While rising it came up in 4s
hours Is feet and inches this was after it
had risen IL or 10 feet, so you may know the
rise was very rapid.
The river is now some sixteen feet above low
water mark and at stand. Last week Friday
it rained pretty much all day, and on Saturday
we had a very severe snow storm. which con-
tnued pretty much all day. Since that time
we have had very beautiful weather, and far

ARRIVAL OF REGULARS FROM FoRT
R1DGLEY.-The steamer Frank Steele, Capt.
Hatcher, arrived Saturday morning from
Fort Ridgley, having on board company
"K" of the Second Regiment of United
States regular infantry, Major G. w. Pat
ten commanding, and Lieuts. R. +. Hunter
and G. w. Spencer, ordered to Pittsburg,
via. La Crosse and Chicago.
The company numbers seventy-four nom
commissioned officers, privates and must.
clans, and as fine looking fellows as we ever
saw in any branch of the service. They
are said to be well disciplined, and their
scrupulous neatness, in person and uniform,
was remarked by all who observed them on
the boat at the levee. They appear to be
animated by the same devotion to the flag
that characterizes our volunteers, and are
ready to defend it with their lives.
Major q. w. Patten has been promoted
to regiment now in California, but desires,
if the War Department assents, to be in
active service in the field this side OF the
mountains. He attained distinction while
a Lieutenant, in the Mexican war, and lost
q portion of his left hand in the battle of
Cerro Gordo. He graduated at West
Point, and we believe was in the same class
with the arch-traitor, JEFF. Davis. While
he cannot find in his heart any personal
animosity against the secession officers, yet
he regards them as the enemies of the flag
be is bound by duty and choice to support,
and are to be treated as such. To illustrate
the chivalric loyalty to the alag" as
symbol of every thing we prize as nation
that characterizes military men, we may
mention that Major Patten declared he
would have no hesitation, as duty, to
shoot down his own father if he assailed it,
while no personal insult or injury would
tempt him to raise his hand against him.
In the hands of such men the Star Span.
gled Banner will be upheld in the coming
contest, and wave VIGOROUSLY at its close.
Lieut.. Spencer, is native of Maryland,
and is as true as steel, without any regard
to the course of his own State. He has
been in Minnesota some six years, off and
on, and performed daring exploit during
the Indian troubles on our frontier several
years ago, that secured special mention in
general order of Lieut. Gen. Scott.
MAJOR DIKEss COMMAND.
The Saltwater Company, Capt. Brom'
icy, and the Faribault Company, Capt
M'Kune, of Major bikes command, ar
rived at Fort Ridgley without accident, and
took possession of the post upon its evacua-
ton by the regulars. Capt. Hatcher in
forms us that the officers and men were
highly delighted with the excellent quarters
allotted to them. Everything was in splen-
did condition, as neat as could possibly be,
and the boys are determined to suffer no
deterioration to take place.
