one or more discontented spirits, or to the in]u- dicious conduct ot some commanding 0ihcers-- Rut hero 1t Is evident that the whole volunteer army of the northern states IS worthless as military organization. 1t is a comment on the behavior of men who pretendingt to rush to arms for the salvation of their country, making off Tn thousands when the enemy comes m sight, ana leave their general to take care of himself. This Is certainly carrying to its further limit that right of secession which they flew 10 arms to punish In any other country such conduct would have been looked on as the extreme of baseness. But tho Americans do not visit It as such. and they perhaps, have an instinctive sense of the iustness of the case. They feel how nol low has been so much of the indignation express ed by their party-1how much the campaign arainst the South is sham, entered into in obs. disuce to Hsensation" policy, and differing widely from the earnest and steady resolve which animates men who are fighting for objects really dear 10 them. If England or France were invading the northern States, no one can:be- lieye that the whole American army would evap- crate because three calender months were up; nor. to bring matters nearer home, can we mag inc that the southerners will take the rail home ward while New York rowdies and Boston abol- itionists are desolating the villages of Virginia.
 In all ages success in war has inclined to the party which is fighting for an existence, and IS consequently steeled to a sterner resolve. There is want of this earnestness to be noticed in the conduct of the northerners. They take things easy to degree which astonishes an English man who recollects the frenzy which followed the first misfortunes of our army at the end of 1854. The whole story of the battle of Bull Run is given by the northern papers, of course with many variations, but we are bound to say with entire candor. The completeness of the defeat. the courage of the enemy, and the panic of their own army are not extenu ated or denied in any way. There IS, of course the usual tendency to lay the blame on the commanders, and to save the self love ot the army at the expense ofits chiefs. But. mak- ing allowances for this, it IS probable not only that the leaders were incompetent, but the mass of the troops felt that they were. From the first there seems to have been little purpose in anything that was done. The advance began at dawn, and one writer says that even ct that hour there seemed a lack of unity and direct purposes among the officers which sometimes was made too evident to the troops not to affect their spirit and demeanor. At the opening of the day 1t was plain to all that real and sound discipline was abandoned; on the other hand, the Confederates were evidently commanded by men who knew something of war.

V.

Oh where is .he power to repel the nvsisr
 Th,t threatens country with ruin and sham-y To strike down the foes who have baely betrayed her And loft of pas. gloriee trace but the name
 Who with heiips and thelr hearts filed with
 gall,
 Have decrsed that nation of feeemen shall fall see then,l inspired with a spirit unpiyins
 Advancing and firm, though their numbers be fec. And alofs in the vanguard our banner is flying
 The Circle of Stars in the red, white and blue "
 Waving free OCT the brave who will guard from shame Or wrap in It's folds on the death bed of farne In their swords the great God of battles copndns They have met the proud foe surging on the shock And the hosts that So lately strength derling hurled hack like they dash on the rock
 And death in the ebb-tide succeeding the flood,
 Now greedily gathers his harvest of blood Through the dun cloud of battle mpatiently flying And needless of ought but their safety alone, While the hreks of the wounded groans of the dying That mingle and blend with the cannon, hoarse tone
 Adds terror flight thev dash through the vale
 And are scattered like lea"es by the fierce autumn gale Where now arc the fenien, So lately aspiring
 To conquer Cir rights and blot out our 1anes overwh"imed with confuson in retiring Or in heaps and untombed the field of their shame
 Where the Circle of S.ars undined and as bright
 As when first 1t was torn from the mantle of night There is mourning for them both In cottage and paacs, And hearts that are silently breaking with woe; For by vctory's fiat the poisoned chace,
 Prepared for ourselves is returned to the fos:
 And the vail of their anguish loud, cheeress and long,
 Is the dirge that is sung for tho victims of wrong. Manassas. thy shall be famous in story, The patriots watchword-a beacon of light. Whose bright rays shall guide futur freemen glory Their rsllyng cry in the shock of the hght
 And the heroes who feel that thy soil might be frsa Shall rest in thy bosom, immortal like thee. Dardane'te, Sept. 1s 1861.

we can fill orders with promptness and

double circular saw mills work IL such
that they make better lumber than can
be made By any single saw, circular or
upright. Running two saws, cutting on
one log, saving plank from each side of
the log at the same time, keeps the log
from sPringing, thereby making the
plank of a uniform thickness from one
end to the other, and, Of course, saving
the workman much labor in working it
up. In fact most builders who have
used our lumber; estimate a saving of
70 per cent. in working it, wei the lum.
