UNDER THE CLOUD AND

pressed.
Chariots and hOrsemen following furiously-
Songs of old Israel. at their Gods behest,
Under the cloud and through the swelling
sea.
so passed they. fearless, where the parted wave
With coYen crest appearing from the sand
a solemn aisle betOre--behind. grave
Rolled TO the bechonng OF Jehovah's hand.
So led he them, in desert marches grand,
BY tolls sublime, with test of long delay,
On. to the borders OF that promised land
Wherein their heritage OF glory lay.
and JordOn ragged along his rocky bed,
And Amorlte spears flashed keen and fear
fully;
still the same pathway must their footsteps
tread
Under the cloud and through the threatening
sea.
God works not otherwise. No mighty birth
But comes by throes of mortal agony;
No man child among nations OF the earth
But indeth baptism in a stormy sea.
Sons of the Saints Who faced their Jordon-t1oOd
In the fierce Ailantcs unretreatng wave
VINO by the Red sea of their glorious blood
Reached to the Freedom that your blood shall

OCountrymen! Gods day is not yet done !
He leayeth not his people utterly
C0uut it a covenant, that He leads Us on
Beneath the cloud and through the crimson

The Sober Second Thought.

The Journal of Commerce, of Wednesday
last, plants itself fairly and squarely upon
the patriotic platform. 1t says:
The day OF parties and party politics is
past. We look around US to day for the
Old party lines, but in vain. One grand
interest, absorbing for while all questions
OF minor importance, has seized on the pub
lie mind, sweeping away the barriers which
Democrats, Republicans or Americans had
erected around themselves, and the citizens
OF the United States, fo1getiul of the ordi-
nary issues of political campaigns, ask sole
ly this, How shall the Union be sustained
and our Government be restored to its seas
wide power? We recognize this question
as the only political question of the day.
We are citizens of noble
government It's name has been first on the
roll of nations. TO be an American has
been more than in old days it was to be
Roman citizen. TO have the shadow of
Americanism, to have slept under the pros
lection of the American Eyis, WIS enough
to entitle man to deliverance from captiv-
ity even by the voice OF American artillery.
That day must come again. The govern.
ment, represented by the President and both
HOUSES of Congress, undertakes to effect it.
We are in their hands, and whatever we
may think of the original error in this IN.
dertaking, we can look nowhere else for
leadership and government. The powers
that be are ordained of God, and the citizen
must recognize their authority.
We propose, therefore, for ourselves, to
support the government as good citizens in
a legitimate and constitutional conduct of
the war. By this support we shall not be
understood as promising to approve all the
measures of the Administration for we are
citizens, and as such, sovereigns in America,
and we shall always exercise the citizens
right to voice, in the proper time and
place, in the management of public affairs.
But recognizing the war as a fact, and the
apparent impossibility of peace until the
government shall have exhibited to the
world and to the rebellion its undiminished
power, we shall, wherever, we consistently
can do so, join our efforts with those citi-
zens who are now managing the affairs of
the government for the restoration of the
Union.

NEW SERIES-NO. 4O6
Admins tering the w:OatIl.Sbf Al
legtancc to the Cadets.

On Thursday last the sheriff of Orange
county administered the oath of allegiance
to the Cadets at West Point. The scene.is
described as follows by writer in the En-.
press: -,
At eleven o'clock, the whole body of
cadets marched from camp and were drawn
up in line in front of the chapel. A tens
porary desk was placed in front of the altar,
at which a gentleman-the sheriff of the.
county, think-stood ready to administer
the military oath, which was to test the,
loyalty of the academy.
A large bible lay on the desk before him.
and drapery falling from beneath it to the.
floor, rendered his position somsx6at inn
posing. The cadets came into the chapel
in companies of four. -,
Each detachment of cadets, as it came up!
formed crescent around the desk. Then
four firm, ungloyed hands were laid upsA
the Bible, and the oath was read by tfe
Sheriff in clear solemn voice, that ratgI
imposingly through the twilight of the
chapel.
The officers of cadets had all taken this
oath, and two or three groups came 10 from
the ranks, all giving in hearty adhesion to
the United States, when company OF four
came up, three placing their hands on the
Bible. But one-a dark eyed, dark-haired
and heavy featured young man drew back,
and by GESTURE refused the oath. There
was not one in the chapel, do believe, who
did not hold a breath in suspense. The
Sheriff looked anxious, the officers a little
surprised.
Do you wish to affirm? Is it the form
of swearing which you desire changed?
questioned the Sheriff?
81 do not wish to take that oath at ALL"
was the reply.
The Sheriff bent bis head sravely and the
other young men completed the oath of
ealty. When the party went up to the
officers table to register their names, this
young man, who had faltered so early in his
path Of honor, was moved aside aud passed
forth alone, and the audience breathed with
more freedom after be bad gone.
After this another gent, younger and OF
more generous bearing stepped back from
the honorable rank OF his companions, and
with flushed brow followed the man who
had gone before. These Two were all--the
rest took the oath with hearty earnestness.
The names of these two young men were
John g. Singleton and William c. Dunlap,
one from Kentucky, and the other from
Missouri.
Mrs. Gwin was present in one of the
front seats of the chapel, with her two
daughters. She is greatly changed since l
saw her last; looks older and sadder, as if
the publicity given to her name had made
painful impression on her person. She
has suffered great injustice from the public
journals.

General ROsecranz's Army.

The Clarksourg correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, under date of August
30, says:
The Southern division of the rebel West
ern Virginia army is supposed to be gradu-
ally pushing its way beyond Summersvlle,
in the hope of " surrounding" COxs force
at Gauley, and regainng the Kanawha.
Meanwhile the lines of the two hostile ar
mics at the Oh at Mountain Gaps are gra-
dualy approaching, and the pickets are now
almost within guushot of each other. OF
course nothing could please Lee better than
to have Wise create a diversion on the
Kanawha that would induce General Rose
cranz to withdraw his forces from the Gaps
and so leave weak point exposed to the
watchiul enemy. General Lee, it is sup>
posed, will be hardly gratified. But it
must be seen that the alarm given in bis
correspondence some time ago, as to the
imperative demand for troops here, was not
given day too soon. We may suffer yet,
because the people at home have been and
are too skeptical on so vital point.

THE DIRGE OF THE PRIVATEER.

What craft is that whose Haunting sail
We see along the shore,
The rebel ensign at her peak,
The black flag at her fore?
Say, dare these brigands of the land,
Beard US upon the seas!
Then, short the shrift and stout the cord
For braggarts such as these.
The flag that waves above the brave,
And wrestles with the blast,
Now falls before pirate crew,
DshonOred from the mast
And shall these carrion vultures prey
Upon our native seas?
No. short the shrit and stout the cord
For braggarts such as these!
No spot on Freedom sacred soil
Should hold the pirates tomb;
A nameess grave beneath the wave
should be the outlaws doom;
Then hurl them down, unknelled, unwept.
Below the angry seas;
Snort be the shrft and stout the cord
For mscreants such as these!

IN MEMORY OF GEN. LYON.

Unfurl our flag half-mast to day.
In sorrow mid the clang OF war,
Each crimson stripe is turned to gray,
To black each azure star.
The dropping breeze scarce stirs fold.
The birds complain with fettered breat
The cloud, hang sullenly and cold,
For 10. a hero's death,
From far Missouri's prairie plain
The echo OF his battle cry
Sound and recedes, and sounds again,
His llte-earned victory.

The tears Of grateful millions flow,
And treason well may shrink and fear
Its fdted overthrow.
For wheresoe 'er thy comrades stand,
10 face the traitors, as of yOre,
Thy president spirit shall command,
and lea the charge once more.
Then fling our flag mast high to-day,
Triumphant mid the clang of war,
And death to him who shall betray
One single stripe or stat
