activity of the Indiana cavalry al
Frcdericktown has never been sur.
passed. Nine-tenths Of the rebels
who fell in their charge were killed by
sabcr cuts.
The total loss of the rebels will nev.
er be known. You may form some
idea Of the fallacy Of the reports that
succeed an important battle when
tell you that one hour after this en-.
gagement some of our own officers
estimated the cnemy's dead at 800
while others declared them to be 600
The rebels confess to have lost over
200, and our soldiers say they buried
$50 of them the day after the battle.
Many of their dead, which we never
saw, were carried from the field in
wagons. / think their loss in killed
and wounded was about 400. Our
loss was about ten killed, and thirty
to fifty wounded.
The rebels retreat finely. They left
their dead and wounded on the field,
and did not ask permission to bury
any one, except Col. Lowe. They fed
over the mountains in all directions,
and declared they had been attacked
10y twenty thousand regulars"

"OUR BOYS" Z"

How hearts upleap all over the land,
And thrill with tender pride,
And blessings throng to the parted lips,
Given to none beside!
Holy with benedictions grown
In every loyal home,
A proud estate and glory
Have these simple words become.
"Our brave boys-they arc of to the wars,
Reapeating 1t q er again,
Gone to fight for the dear old flag,
And the laws that have made them men.
"The darling banner our fathers bore,
The glorious stripes and stars
Traitors would sully its sacred folds,
And 50 they are off to the wars"
Verify. Oh America,
Thy boys are a goodly race
Noble of heart and strong Of limb,
And fair to see in the face.
"They gave us liberty,
Wen fight for the Union forever,
Under the flag of the free"
City and hamlet poured them forth,
Swift to their mission high
Boys at the dawning were men at night,
Ready to do and die.
What can we do who are left at home,
Holding no keys of fatet
What but believe in the Powers that be,
What but watch and wait
Hall and cabin alike become
Affairs for prayers and tears;
Tears for the homes of their joy bereft,
Prayers for the volunteers.
Petty distinctions arc all forgot;
Lowly, or known to fame,
We tell the list like rosary,
A prayer for every name.
Guns is no formal devotion
kneeling on Freedoms sod,
We plead for our periled country,
We trust in the Freeman's God.

The Battle at FredericktOwn, Mo.
INTERESTING INCIDENTS.

1t appears that the Federal leader
in the recent fight at Fredericktown,
where JEFF. Thompson's rebel army
was SO terribly cut up. was Col. Joseph
b. Plummer. He is said to be ma
tive of Massachusetts,, q graduate of
West Point in ls4l, and since then a
member of the regular army. In 1852
he was promoted to captaincy in the
First Infantry, and in that capacity
commanded a company Of regulars
under Gen. Lyon at Springfield. He
was few weeks ago appointed Colo
mel of the Missouri llth Regiment,
and placed in command at Cape Girar-
deau. When, therefore, the forces
from Cape Girardeau and Ironton met
at Fredericktown to give battle to
the enemy, his rank as an army off.
Ger gave him command of the whole.
The fight at Fredericktown is re-
garded as the most even-handed Of
any that has yet taken place between
the Union and Secession forces. The
belligerants were nearly equal in
numbers, and whatever was gained
by our forces must be attributed to
superior courage and skill. JEFF
Thompson was in possession Of Fred
ericktown, his bands were pillaging
the country in every direction and il
was decided to dislodge him.
The rebels fought well and bravely
No doubt they expected Q victory
But who could reasonably expect vic
tory with such an army and such i'm
plements of Warfare? A correspon
dent of the Missouri Democrat says
One-third of the dead and wounded
were boys from Is to Is years old

their faces, who could not have beer

is lamentable to find that their efforts
and sacrifices were fruitless.
1t may not be improper to add, in
this connection, the rumor, 1--WE know
not how we'll founded that the order
for the movement of Gen. Stone was
given by Gen. Scott, and not by Gen.
Mcclellan and as the movement was
likely to embarrass McClellan's plans
he protested that unless he could have
command he would resign. This led
to the resignation, or perhaps retire
ment, of Gen. Scott and hence the
order to rc-cross the Potomac, as sta.
ted above.

I CANNOT FORGET.
BY ELIZABETH j. COLE.

You bid me forget those sweet days of yorc,
When so gladly rambed lifc's chequ red shore
You would that banish thine image so dear,
Thus hopelessly walking hfes pathway so drcar.
You have LEFT loving hearts that mourning you yet,
And wildly you hope that may forget,
Know you not that true love still the brighter will grow
Till the heart where il dwelt in death Is laid low.
II Is hallowng now every act of my life,
And my calm humble way il guardeth from strife,
Ny heart livcth no, save In the bright past,
Thy shadow pursues my lone path 10 the last
strive to be happy, TO call to my brow
The smile and the light recreant now,
Fan would make glad the bowed hearts on lfe's sea-
Though wthered for aye lfe's flowers unto me.
Cold hearted and proud" hear whispered near,
But oh they know not how Oft flows the tear
How in silence pine ~ behold thee more
Ere my soul shall have passed to that drcam!ess shore
Then chie not dearest though my checks may grow
pale, (adc
None will know while they gaze why the tint dotl
Let my heart hold thine image 50 lovingly yet,
For Icannot forget thee, cannot forget.
