The DEADLY RIFLE The returns Of
killed and wounded at the battle Of Bull
Run are necessarily imperfect. but enough
has been received to show that the losses
among officers, especially commissioned
ones, are much larger in proportion to their
number, than those among privates. The
killed are 2 colonies, l lieutenant colonel,
majors, 16 captains, and 80 lieutenants ;
and the wounded, 2 acting major generals,
8 cnlonels, lieutenant colonel, 3 majors,
10 captains, 80 lieutenants. The causalities
among captains are particularly Noticeable
Making every allowance for the extra ex>
p5sure of officers on horseback and those
on foot in front, or at the side Of their COM
panies, there is still no doubt that large
number Of the killed and disabled on that
fatal day. were singled out and shot by
expert marksmeD, who we're enabled to
take deliberate aim from rifle pits or behind
trees, The distance between the hostile
forces was repeatedly email enough to per-
NIT the picking off Of individuals with
perfect certainty, by any person moderately
skilled in the use of the rife. What loss
cas- sustained among the officers of the
enemy is not known but as many thous-
aDds of the United States forces engaged
were also armed with rifles, it may fairly
be supposed that the sharo shooters in our
ranks used their weapons with deadly
effect upon the wearers Of shoulder straps
and swords wherever they could be seen.

When Peace, loved guardian of or homes,
Was ever lowering near,
And blissfuI joy, and charmed content,
Were unalloyed by far
Twas sweat the psor mans hut to pass,
Add SEE his loved ones there,
With cheerful brows and merry hearts
The homely meal prepare.
Twas sweet, when twilight gently threw
Her curtain DER the earth.
To see the household circle there,
Gather around the hearth;
EACH with fond and willing smile.
Some story tic repeat,
Till every member Of the band
Make mp the whole complete.
But hark' the bugle's distant notes
Fall sadly ON my ear;
That rumbling sound Is the horses' tramp;
And now the drum hear.
Nearer, and Jet nearer, still they come
Their banners streaming far,
As they urge their restless eour,ers on
To death, and bloody war -ses<ssss.
Up, Freemen, up, and away, awayi
Your countrys call obey.
You have peat eful homes and loved ones there,
But uow-you must not stay;
For Peace that was to all so dear,
At length hath taken her flight.
And left us to weep in fearful gloom,
And robbed us Of our right
Then, freemen, mp, and AWAY, awayI
Drive back the rebel hosti
Nor let those glorious Stars and Stripes
Be tramp ed in the Gust.
Remember that for thee they float;
For uiee, the brave and free
Then keep CoIumbia's colors up,
Emblem of Liberty!
And If the God OF Victory smiles,
(For well know he must,)
Soldier, forget not the weak and frail,
But teach lhem how to trust
In those who have left their own loved ones,
Their cherished homes and hearth,
Their aged mothers, sisters, wives
Their al: and all upon earth

which animates nature. and which is thus
