people to serve with more cruel bondage.
At first they seemed against light and
knowledge. They know and acknowledge
that slavery is wrong; but they found it
profitable and failed to live up to their
light. They sought apologies for continu-
ing what they felt to be a violation Of
Gods law; and now their light has been
withdrawn. An Egyptian darkness has
fallen upon them, SO that while all other
parts of the world are more and more per-
meated by the rays of the rising sun Of
Liberty, and the coming Millennium,
they are cropping in darkness which may
be felt. All the plaques of Egypt appear
to be let loose upon them. For the moral
corruption, the ignorance and barbarism
they are now displaying are spiritual reali-
ties which were but fully set forth in the
locusts, the lice, the frogs and the pollu-
ted streams of that other land of despots
against which the Lord maintained a con-
troversy.
According to all human appearance the
bondman is rapidly coming out into that
intermediate wilderness where he is to be
prepared for selfgovernment; and his op-
pressor is rushing to the Red Sea where.
he shall finally overwhelmed. Still he
hardens his heart and rushes on and the
hearts of the unlocking world stand still in
anticipation of that meeting of the horse
and his rider, with the on-rushing wave
which shall bury so large part of the
worlds barbarism and bear its civilization
far up upon its foaming crest. Let none
be afraid who trust in the final triumph of
right, for God holds these waters in the
hollow of His hand.

New Paper.

Mr.. Lowry's. long talked of paper has
made its appearance, the minnesota
Union, St. Cloud, G. G. Andrews, editor
and publisher. He is a polished writer,
and courteous gentleman, and in so far as
the Union is under his control, we shall
have only an honorable opposition to meet.
We think the party would have done bet
ter to have accepted our proposal to print
their paper for them, as our type are
newer and we could have given it better
typographical appearance than they can
possibly do with the material they have,
and it would have cost them less. We
very nearly wish the Union success, for it
will be 50 nice to have neighbor to
watch and find fault with that it would
pay for any loss in rivalry Of business.

Marching and Countermarch-
ing.

In our last issue it was announced that
Col. Miller and his command were on
their way to Fort Aberorombie, and were
expected in St. Cloud on the following
day (Friday) On Thursday evening, at:
ter our paper was off, note came from
Col. Miller to Gen. Mitchell saying that a
dispatch had reached him, two miles above
Anoka, ordering him to remain where he
was until further orders, and saying that
Gov. Ramsey expected an order for the
entire regiment to march to Washington.
AS the Red River mail did not leave un-
til Saturday morning, we issued an extra
on Friday, that We might send this and
the important news of the taking of Great
Bethel, to our up-country subscribers.
On Friday evening another note came
from Col. Miller, stating that he had been
ordered to proceed to Fort Abercrombie,
and would be here, with his command on
Sabbath. Immediately the Ladies went to
work to get up grand picnic for the SOL
diers. Cakes and frostings, pies and pick
les, boiled hams, rusk aud cheese were
the order Of the day. On Saturday eve
ming, before we had done work in the Of
flee, in stepped Col. Miller, bringing word
that again his Abercrombie orders had
been countermanded. A messenger had
overtaken him sixteen miles below Saint
Cloud, ordering him to return at once with
his command to Fort Smelling to leave with
the regiment for Harrisburg, there to await
further orders. He encamped his men on
the spot, left Captain Acker in command,
and rode on to St. Cloud to see H. G.
Burbank, contractor for supplies at the
Forts, and pay flying visit of farewell to
his St. Cloud friends. These gathered
around him in crowds. He supped at one
place, slept at second, and breakfasted
at third in order to divide his time,
shook hands all round, and exchanged
compliments as fast as his ready tongue
could throw them off, and left at half past
ten o'clock on Sabbath morning to over
take his men who were to start on their
backward march at six in the morning.
Most of us saw him start through
a mist of tears, for he is a universal favor
tie. Children hung around his neck to
the last, and strong men chung to his hand
until the boat moved which took him over
the river. None of us can overlook the
fact that in this war SO far, very large
per cent. of officers have fallen; that the
plan Of the rebels, is to dodge Behind.

ST.. CLOUD CIRCULATION OF THE DEM
ocRAT.-We kne,o before Mr.. Andrews
paper came out that we should eclipse
him in law and learning and logic and lit
erature, in poetry and pathos and great
many other desirable qualities, beside the
youth and beauty of every member of the
establishment. but we did calculate that
he would throw us into the shade in dig
nifty and statistics; and Oh dear, what a
beginning he has made! If all his statis-
tics are like those which sets down the
number of copies of the St. Cloud DEMO-
Graf delivered to town. subscribers
through the Post Office, his figures will
be to his readers like the facts which
Jock furnished Claverhousc's men,
"they'll max them name the WISER"
The Union says twenty copies of the
St. Cloud DEMOCRAT are delivered through
the Post Office. By referring to our books
we find that exactly twice that number are
thus: delivered. Come Brother Andrews,
look to your figures, for this is to be your
''fortc." AS Artcmus says, "that's what's
the matter with you" This is, Of course,
small part of our town circulation as our
Lower Town subscribers are served by a
carrier; and a goodly number receive their
papers at our own Office.

GAN We Ask is to be Let Alone"

As vonce | walked by dismal swamp,
There sat an old Cove in the dark and damp,
And at every body as he passed that road
A stick or stone this old Cove throwed,
Aud vencver he flung his stick or his stone,
He'd set up a song of" Let me alone"
Let me alone for love TO shy
These bits of things to the passers by
Let me alone, for I've got your tin
And lots of other traps snugly in
Let me alone, I'm rggin boat
To grab votever you've got ailoat-
In II week or so | expects to come
And turn vou out of your 'ouse and 'ome-
I'm quiet Old Cove, says, he, with groan !;
All axes is-"Let me alone"
Just then came along, on the self-same vay
Another Old Cove, and began for to say
- Let yGu alone! That's comm it strong!
You've ben let alnne-a darned sight too long
OF all the SARGE that ever heard
Put down that stickl (Yop may well looh
skeered,)
Let go that stone! Ifyou once show fight,
I'll knock you hihger than any ki+e.
You must have Il | sSon to stop your tricks,
And cure you OF shyng them stones and sticks,
And III have my hardware back and my cash
Aud knock your scow into tarua smash;
Aud if ever | catches you round my ranch,
I'll string you up TO the nearest b'anch,
The best you can do is to go to bed,
And keep Il decer tongue in yeur head
For reckon, before you and are done,
You'll wish you had let honest folks alone.
The Old Cove stopped, and the tother Old Cove

And looked at his stick, revulviu' slow,

England and France,

Aud said" the South is all flame
'Tis little for us tn hold the forts,
While Lincoln's ships blockade our ports,
What are you doing Lord Davis, say,
To drive those insolent shlpS awayT
Then Davis, eying the speaker askance,
Said" We hope for ships from England and
France"
Then the Souherner bold went on to say,
Lord DAVIS, cannot we get our pay?
People are quarreling. So they say,
Who shall get the Bonds of the G. ). A.
Our clothes are worn and our shoes in holes
These are the times that try mems SoteSi
Then Davis, cyeing the speaker askance
Said" We hope for money from Eng gland and

Then the Southerner's voice again was heard
"Secess0n has never been referred
To the Peoples vote al the Polls" said he
We have no recognition at hOme, you see;
Lincoln says 1t is all sedtion-
How shall we get recognition"
Then Davis, eyeng the speaker askance,
Said" We hope to get it from England ana

Then the Southerner bold with flashing eyes
Answered" Such conduct despiSe,
You put your trust in England and France
To help MS through this fantastic dance
I've no faith in those who don't understand
To trust for help in their own right hand.
We must be fallen low indeed,
If we stand of flreign aid in need,
Moreover, We have not the slightest chance
Of obtaining these things from England and
