An Exciting Incident in the Massachu-
setts Regiment.

Tuesday last the Sixth Massachusetts
Regiment was drawn up in the Capital
to be mustered into the service Of the
United States. Interest was excited in
it's behalf, because of the noble stand
it had made against the rowdies of Bal
timore. The Regiment was formed
into hollow square, and Major Me-
Dowell, in command of the Capital,
swore the soldiers in. Col. Jones ad-
vanced, and, addressing the Major,
said Major, / fear all my men have
not taken the oath of allegiance. To
satisfy myself, l would be glad if you
would put the question to them."
The Major requested those who had
not taken the oath,to advance to the
front, and five men did so. Instantly
the men rushed at them with their side
arms, and would have destroyed them
on the spot but for the efforts of the Of
ficers and of Major Mcdowell. After
the men were quieted the mastering
officer received the apologies of the re-
cruits. One gave as an excuse that he
had wife and six children, and SINH
lar excuses were made by the others.
Major Mcdowell told them that they
had ought to have thought of such'mat-
ters before they left Boston. One re-
Tented, took the oath, and was cbeered
into the ranks. Addressing the other
four, Major DcDowcll said, "you are
now disgraced forever. The mark of
Cain is upon you, here and at home.
To such men / have no other words. !"
When the ranks were broken the men
stripped the Informs from the four
towards, and if ithad not been for Col
Jones, they would not have had a
mouthful to eat that day.-Cor. Phil
Press.

scare for them Tenderly."

"Care for them tenderly,"
Send back our dead,
Who for their country's cause
Nobly have bled.
Send us our loved ones,
Who in Spring bloom,
"First on the battle field"
First found their tomb.
Scare for them tenderly,"
Smooth from each brow
Hair, Ger which loving hands
Cannot pass now,
Straighten each manly form,
Close the dark eyes,
Clothe them in robes of white
Fit for the skies.
Scare for them tenderly,"
And as they come,
Lower their much loved flag,
Muffle the drum,
Send up your prayers for them,
Let tear drops fall,
Scatter fresh laurel leaves
Meet for their pail.
"Care for them tenderly,"
Then shall be given,
Mute thanks from broken hearts,
Blessings from heaven,
Mercies unnumbered
Shall rest on the head
Of those who shall tenderly
Care for the dead.
