The Prairie Volunteer, pu blished at
Quincy, Iowa. and edited by X. f. Brown,
has the following interesting dom estic in
telligence:
We had expected before this time that
two of our sons would be here to assist US in
our paper. But, a late letter informs US
that they have joined company of volun-
teers and gone to Virginia. One OF these
boys is only fifteen years of age-they
were taken out of the company when it
started for Columbus, Ohio; but the little
fellows were not satisfied, they ran of, and
walked over two hundred miles, and are
now in their company in Virginia. 1t ap-
pears that the Browns are bent on taking
Harpor's Ferry. Another son of ours is
missing, and it may be also that he has
gone to Harper's Ferry. We have yet four
sons left that are too young to shoot, aud
hope if We have good luck, to have seven |
more, We have enlisted for the war, |

Presidenl,s Message.

The Message of President LINCOLN VIII oe
found on the outside Of to-day's paper. us
manly and patriotic tone will be universally ao-
mired, and it will fully meet tie h'gh e1Pee''-
,;ons which the public had been led to form
from the vigorous policy which has, up to this
time been pursued by the present Administra-
,;on. There will be no fears in future of a
retrograde step, no dead of dissolution Of the
Copfederacy while men and money can be
found to support it-no apprehension ola COM
promise which is not based upon the complete
re-establishment of the integrity of the Union.
Events have clearly shown that the great body
of the American people are true TO their repub-
lican Government, and determined to enthusi-
astically sustain it, and they now have the au-
thentic and unmistakable assurance that the
Government viii. in every legitimate mode, as
sst and direct their efforts until the Rebellion
is completely subdued, and peace and order re-
stored. it
The message opens with an interesting re-
view of the events which Immediately preceded
the fall of Sumpter. by which it is clearly shown
that the insurgents were in every sense the ag-
gressors, and that upon their heads rests the
sole blame and responsibility for all the blood
shed which may be caused by the present con
fict.
The frank and plain statement of the Presi-
dent in regard to the active measures he has
been compelled to adopt in view Of the threat
enipg proportions CT the rebellion. will carry
with it, to every patriotic mind, a conviction oi
the propriety of his course, and it will doubt
less be promptly ratified. in every respect by
Congress.
The thorough exposure which the President
makes of the folly of the Secession theory will
be read with deep interest, and will go far to
prove to the whole world the utterly illegal and
revolutionary character of the movement of the
insurgents.
A marked feature of the message is the tone
of kindness which accompanies even its frmest
declarations of an unalterable purpose to pre-
serve the Union. A spirit of duty. and not OF
revenge, actuates the President, and he is ready
to assure those sections which are now in arms
that "after the rebellion shall have been sup
pressed" the Constitution and the laws will
still be invoked to decide how they. like the
loyal portions of the country, shall be govern
ed rtrf . -.

classes Of martyrs-two historical lessons, two
glorious results and still one glorious nation.
The young heart throbbing with the first
inspiration of liberty and the old patriot con-
firmed in undying fealty to his illustrious ma
tive land have alike gone down beneath the
riot Of horrid war and every village and hamlet
have sent forth their sacrifces-the unblem-
ished Rrstlings of the flock, purified by the
tears and helmeted with the prayers Of the
mother, the sister and the father, and as each
sacrifice is offered, and each warm heart and
brave soul seeks heaven through the discord
and smoke of war, will not ten rush to the
breach and wiring peace and Union from the
bloody banners OF that goddess array which
has assailed the good and great things of our
dearly purchased liberty.

"On the smooth green where the fresh leaf is
springing,
Calmly the frst.born of glory are met;
Hark! the death. valleys around them are ringing!
Look! with their blood the young grass is wet!
Faint is the feeble breath,
Murmuring low in death,

Raised for its native land.
Lies BY the weapon that CLEANS by his side.
Over the hill sides the wild knell is tolling,
From their fair hamlets the yeomanry comes
As through the Storm clouds the thunderburst
rolling,
Circles the beat of the mastering drum.
Fast on the soldiers path
Darken the waves of wrath,
Long have they gathered and loud shall they fall:
Red glares the musket's flash,
.. Sharp rings the rifles crash,
Blazing and changing from thicket and wall.
Gaily the plume of the horseman was dancing.
Never to shadow his cold brow again;
Proudly at morning the war steed was prancing,
Reeking and fainting he drops on the rein;
Pale is the lip of scorn,
Voicelcss the trumpet horn,
Torn is the silken-f -fringed red cross on high;
Many belted breast,
Low On the turf shall rest,
Ere the dark hunters the herd have passedby
Snow girdlcd crags where the hoarse wind is raving
Rocks where the weary floods murmur and wall,
Wilds where the fern by the furrow is waving,
Ruled by the echoes that rode on the gale;
Far as the tempest thrills
Over the darkencd hills,
Far as the sunshine streams over the plain,
Reused by the tyrant band
Woke all the mighty land,
Girded for battle, from mountain to main.
Green be the graves where her martyrs are lying.
Shroudless and tombless they sunk to their rest;
While o'eI their ashes the starry fold flying
Wraps the proud eagle they reused from his nest.
Borne on the northern pine,
Long DER the foaming brine
Spread her broad banner to storm and to sun
Heaven keep her ever free,
Wide as o'er land and sea
Floats the fair emblems her heroes have won !"

Condition of virginia.

HARRISBURG, july D.
We have from Virginia, via Hagerstowu,
information that the whole State east of the
crest of the Alleghaules is suffering all the
horrors of war. Property is seized and ap-
propriated by the rebels for military pur-
poses without compensation; men are i'm
pressed into the army or compelled to flee,
and wherever an army movement is neces-
sary, the general makes requisiiion on the
farmers for draught horses or baggage wag-
ons. Hose stealing is so universal that it
is almost impossible to keep good horse.
So great is the number Of fugitives and of
impressed men that the crops are neglected
and all is going to ruin. Business is at erd,
the banks fearful of their treasures, the ne
groes dreaded by the whites or carried off
to work for the army. Free negroes are
mercilessly used in this service, and white
men of northern birth are ali marked out
for inpressment.- Phaadeighia Gazette.

sEA Southern Union man writes to the
Baltimore Sun that he is not now, and ncyer
has been Secessionist, but that he believes
it utterly impossible for the Northern army
to force the South back into the Union. That's
just it. If the Union men down South had
more pluck we should not hear SO much of this
everlasting twaddlc about forcing tie South.
The North does not intend to force anybody.
We shall simply destroy or drive out the lead
ers of the rebellion. and shall establish the
United States authority where it should lawful
