MATT. XIX 10, To-
And is true W hat am told, 80,
That the are lambs within the fold
OF Gods beloved SON.
That Jesus Christ with tender care,
ayiIl in his arms most gently bear
The helpless ''little one 90
I, yes7 I've heard my mother say,
He never sent child away,
That scarce could walk or run;
For when the parents love besought,
That he would touch the child she brought,
lie blessed the little one"
And L, little straying lamb,
May come to Jesus as [ am,
Though goodness L have none,
May now be folded to his breast,
As birds within the parents nest.
And be his ''little one"
And he can do all this for mo,
Because in sorrow on the tree
He once for sinners hung;
And having washed their sins away
lie now rejoices. day by day
To cleanse the little one."
Others there are who love me too;
But who with all their love can do
What Jesus Christ has DONE
Then if he teaches me to pray,
I'll surely go to him and say,
Lord bless thy ''little one"
Thus by this gracious Shepherd fed,
And by his mercy gently led,
Where living waters run,
My greatest pleasure will be this,
That am little lamb of His,
Who loves the ''Iittle one"

All that is excellent in goverement-all
that is glorious in the history of the past-all
that promises stability and prosperity in the
future-cluster around the federal govern
ment, and excite the true patriot to its main
tenance. Ini its life and perpetuity, the hopes
of civil and religious freedom throughout the
world are centered. When it is overthrown
by the Vaccinations or the arms of traitors,
these hopes will expire in the blackness of un-
ending night. Hence the cause of the Union
will survive defeat repeated over and over again.
The prize for which the U nion party contends in
this struggle, is nothing less than the life of
the only free republican government in the
world while patriots would rejoice to have
the forces of such government alrays uictori-
Gus, yet such uninterrupted success can hard
ly be expected, when the foes they have to
conquer were but short time since their
peers, and now indebted to the fostering
care and ennobling influence of the very gov
ernment they would overthrow, for all they
possess of manliness and skill in war.

The following is an extract from letter re-
ceived in Boston, from Virginia lady, now
residing in Washington ''Senator Johnson's
friend -, of Tennessee, is now stopping with
US, his brother with Mary. They are both
so earnest in the Union cause, risking their
lives, property and everything earthly, that
we feel much interested in them. On his way
from Tennessee travelled part ofthe way with
Georgian who had been at the battle of Bull
Run, and, mistaking him for a Secessonist,
talked freely with him. He says Southerners
are astonished at the Northern troops; they
fight like tigers; SO steady, SO cool. A Lou
isiana regiment, the s.Chain- Gang'' Regiment,
to my knowledge, brought off but twelve men
an Alabama and Georgia regiment were near
ly anuihlated. In fact, he says: ssSir, it was
victory on the part of our troops, but dear
bought one. You know they will not allow
any paper or individual to publish over 8 900
killed and wounded but know positively
that it was fully 5000; and few more such
victories would break us up.''

CHEERING FROM LoUIsIANA.-The Buffalo
Advertiser says: ave are gratified to be able
to present to our readers cheering news from
the southwest. We are informed by veal
thy and influential citizen of that section,
whose name we suppress for obvious reasons,
that Louisiana is still loyal. Although our
informant is somewhat enthusiastic in his 10y
atty, yet we feel confident that his statements
may be relied upon. He says that almost all
the old Wings of Louisiana are now Union
men, not only anxious for the suppression of
the rebellion, but ready, when the time ar
rives, to cooperate with the federal forces to
that end by armed assistance. These loyal
men are majority in the state, and are in
daily communication with each other upon
this subject. Their ardent desire is that the
government shall send an army to relieve them
from the odfous tyranny Of secession under
which they are now living. Texas is also,
they say, in similar condition, and our 10y
al brothers in the southwest are anxiously eX-
pecting succor from the North. Among the
leading Union men the idea is universal that
if our government would take one important
Southern port upon the Atlantic, and force
the free navigation of the Mississippi by the
occupation of New Orleans, then the rebellion
would be substantially quelled-they desire
only the presence of Fremont, with a small
army, to rally the Union men of Louisiana
around him. These things are constantly cam
vassed by our Union friends among them
selves. Unaided, they powerless, but
they call to US for support and they should
have it.''

TOUCHING INCIDENT OF THE BATTLE FIELD
A staff officer from Charleston, engaged in the
battle of the 2lst of July, says: 81 rode out
the day after the battle to view the ground,
and passed piles of dead in various positions.
Under large tree 1 saw body lying, we'll
dressed, with fancy sword, and hankerchief
over the face. 1t attracted my curiosity. l
stopped, removed the handkerchief, and saw
one of the handsomest faces ever met with,
of boy not more than II or IA years of age.
His appearance and dress indicated high social
position; probably he was a temporary aid to
a general officer. To ascertain who he was
examined his pocket, and found testament,
in which was written, james Simmons, New
York. From his loving mother. My son,
remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth
l wished very much to take the body away, but

A SLY DEvICE-EoUAL TO ssNoBoDY Hurt"
1t is suggested that the usual emblems of
external mourning be dispensed with by those
who have lost relatives who were bravely sus-
tanning their country's right, and in this met
with a glorious death. The reasons for the
suggestion are that it would give our streets
and churches distressing and gloomy as
pect, that many families cannot afford it, and
the loss of father, husband or brother is not,
under the circumstances, cause for that bitter
ness of mourning which attends the ordinary
dispensations of Providence, because the
gloom is frightened by the glory of triumph
in the discharge of the hottest obligations of
duty.-(Richmond Whig.

The CAMPAIGN IN MIssoURI.-The anxiety
of the rebels to get possession of st. Louis
and jefferson City, in order to draw Missouri
into their confederacy, is evidently just now
very great. Moreover, in that State the
lead mines, upon the working of which the
Southerners depend for their supplies of shot,
and that metal we know to be very scarce in
the dominions of Jeff. Davis. They attach
great Importance, and very justly so, to the
campaign in both Southwestern and South
eastern Missouri, and will fight hard for the
mastery in that section. Gen. Fremont, how
ever, is just as determined, and, we can easi-
ly perceive. intends, without delay, to make
grand demonstration in Western Missouri,
and about the same time similar movement
in Eastern Missouri, by which the rebel forces
will be divided, and, i'll all probability, crush
ed out irretrievably in the one campaign. A
decisive victory of this kind will have con-
siderable influence in bringing the war to a
speedy termination.
