From dawn to dark. they fought
With iegions swept aud cleft,
While black and wide,
The bast!e-tide
Poured ever on tour Leftit

They dressed each shattered rank /;
They knew how WE'LL

With that exhausted flank

And down they came,
With steel and fame,

Right through the blackes, cloud

GREAT MEN IN SOUTHERN HIS
ToRY.-If we look at the charac-
ter Of those distinguished persons
of the nation who may be deem
ed historical, there arc names that
certainly will live as long in his
andin marble, in the South
as in the North. Yea, there is
one Southern name with whom
there is none to compare, either
i'll the North or in the world.
W speak Of the " in%compara-
BILE WASHINGTON" that the North
ern colonies were so ready to
have as commander-in-chief of
the American forces, in the war
of the Revolution, and who was
unanimously elected the first
President of the United States Of
America. Of the fifteen Presi-
dents Of the United States, eight
of them were Southern men,
Aud where is the Northern man
that will not agree with us. that
the names Of Washington, JEFF
ferson, Madison, Monroe, Jack
son, Tyler, Polk and Taylor, are
quite as illustrious as those Of the
Adamses, Van Buren,, Harrison,
fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan r
.lfthe North has produced a Sam
uel Adams, a Hamilton, a Story,
and a Webster, the South has
given birth to Patrick Henry, a
P!nkney, a Marshall, a Calhoun,
and a Clay. IF the North has
given to the covntry more dis
tipguished scholars and authors,
the South has yielded more than
its share Of the most distinguish
ed generals, statesmen and poll
ticianssBosfon Post.

90 We have it from GOO

Sc. We have it from good
authority that President Davis,
being applied to, a few weeks
since, to discharge from the SER
vice some Mississippi volunteers,
under the age Of eighteen years,
whose relatives desired that they
should pursue their collegiate
studies, remarked that such
youths ought never to have been
mustered into the service, and
that he would gladly order the
discharge Of every one whose
friends would apply for his dis
charge. He observed, further,
that this class of youngmen could
.render theeoantry more eIfectual
service by preparing themselves
for future usefulness, than by
volunteeringa as soldiers. Indeed,
said ne, in making soldiers OF
them, we are grinding our seed
I~telNgeneey.

A NOBLE ExAMpLE.-An old
man seventy-three years old, liy-
ing near misplace: BY the name
of Bush, took his young son and
went with him to join McCulloch.
In the battle Of Springfield, he
took his position, and with an un-
|exampled GOODNESS and courage,
did as much execution with the.
as any one in the battle.
When his gun was struck by a
ball and became useless, he went
to a wounded Tennesseean, who
gave him his and his ammunition.
The old man returned to his
place and said. Boys, now see
what I'll do with the MIME rifle"
Taking aim at the officers, at
every fire one came to the ground.
One colonel and two captains
fell in quick succession. An Or
der was given to fall back to a
better position. The old man
did not hear it, and besought
them not to retreat. He asked
where his boy was. Some one
told him he adretreated Over
come by grief, he sat down, laid
his gun across his lap, and burst
into tears. He was soon relieved,
however, when he found his son
in his proper place and fighting
bravely.-Pine Bluff Ark.) Neus
