Bend thine 'ogles' down, from fields Of carnage
To hail comrade brave, on the Potomac's

Let muskratS, serrapins and tadpoles swim
Along its turbd tide, to gaze at him;
Or let Hams sons, in tattered garments, stare
On General S., their friend and great

Lo, he advances now upon the stage
The hero great, and statesman OF the age!
See how like demi-god no takes tho STANG
Armed cap.a-p;c, with chapeau in his hana
Behold his martial form and ample cncs1
And eui-sing glass suspended from his vest!
See how pnmphandlc-likc his arm IS raised,

We copy the following poetry FROM the Mont


An Appeal to tho Sons OF the South.
Br Mrs. L. D. MOORE, OF ALABAMA.
Come, rally all ye Southern men,
And firmly take your stand.
Do battle now in freedoms cause,
And for your native land.
Strike for each precious privilege,
For which your fathers fought,
Their independence, equal rights,
Their blood so dearly bought.
The rich inheritance is yours,
Their dauntless valor won
Throughout all time, let the bequest
Descend FROM sire 10 son.
Hsrk! It's their voices bid you rise,
Ye patriotic bands!
AND wrest your sacred liberties
From sacrilegious hands
Or las the spirit Of the past
Become SO poor and tame,
Their recreant sons can hear the brand
Of inf.ny and shame'
Can yield weak subservience
TO the arrogance OF foes,
And bow submissive to the yoke
Oppressors would impose
Hath that fell yoke so long endured,
Made towards OF ye all?
Have your faint pulses lost the throb
That bounds to honors call
Is genuine patriotism dead,
And buried with the dust
Of the jliustrious band who left
Our liberties in trust:
Oh. rend the shackles from your limbs,
And strike whilst yet you may
Honor and safety are alike
Endangered by delay.
Oh say not, "peace be in our day,
And after us the food
That deluge will sweep DER the land,
\ lava tile of blood.
Unless with firm and fearless front,
You meet the insidious foe,
And spare your unborn innocents,
Such heritage Of woo.
Quit We like mcn--stand by your rights,
Whatever be the cost !
'Tis better to defend them now,
Than win them back when lost.
Arise. oh, land Of Washington,
And in thine ancient might
Grid on thy arnor to uphold
Equality and right.
Strike home for Freedoms affairs,
With patriots blood still red
Twas Liberty, not Union,
For which cur fathers bled.
Arise Oh, Alabama
Your sovereign rights maintain,
Nor longer heed the bastard voice,
That bids thee hug thy chain.
10 the rescue, Alabama,
Tho outraged and oppressed,
The hour has surely come, when all
Thy wrongs shall be redress'd.
A lone starr shining in the East,
Of pure and steadfast ray,
Like resplendent beacon burns,
To light thee on thy way.
And other stars with beams as bright,
Shall one by one arise,
And form splendid galaxy
Along our Southern skies.
Fairer than glit'ring Pleiades,
The sisters shall appear
The brightest constellation IN
The western hemisphere
The bird Of liberty shall soar,
Our banner'd emblem still
Proud genius Of the destiny
He leads US to fulfil.
Across that banners field of light,
Let rainbow-tints still spread,
And midst the stripes still shall the stars
Eternal glory shed.
Then fling the standard to the breeze,
It's massive folds unfurl,
And to the ruthless tyrant's power,
A stern defiance hurl.
With Freedoms Hgis on our breast,
Well feel no vain alarms,
But bear that flag triumphantly,
Against world in arms!
With steps unfalt'rins let us tread
The path our fathers trod;
Strong in the justice of orr CAUSE
The issue leave with God.

By the earliest conveyance reached Richmond

A Card.


NEAR OTrUMwA, Sept. 16, 1861.
EDITOR NEWS: ask, through the medium
of your paper. the favor of disabusing the
public mind in regard to some slanderous
reports put in circulation about myself; and
in order to do so, will come to the point
in the shortest possible way.
I understand that some evil disposed per-
son or persons have circulated report
through the country that l am wanting in
loyalty; or, to use the common phrase of
the day, that l am a Secessionist. I'M
hesltatingly pronounce the report base
and willful falsehood, let it come from whom
it may. AS much as 1 deplore war and
blood, my motto is, to use the language of
distinguished individual that now is no
more: my country-may she always be
right; but my country. right or wrong !"
am satisfied that no person ever heard a
reasonable word fall from my lips, nor new
er will and while I may honestly differ
from some in regard the prosecution of the
war, it should give no cause for visiting
summary vengeance on me or branding me
as Secessionist, or a traitor. imagine that
the whole story grows out OF the fact that
l am Jeffersonian Democrat, dyed in the
wool, and sentimentally subscribe to the
doctrine of that great apostle of liberty
which recognizes the liberty of speech in
its fullest sense-the liberty of the press
and civil and religious liberty, and that
error of opinion may be tolerated while rea-
son is left free to combat it. These are
cardinal principles with me, and should
meet with warm response from every one.
Our ever-glorious Constitution. that was
framed by the wisest and best men the world
ever saw, guarantees that estimable right to
every man, and for Gods sake, let as not des-
ecrate it ! am for the Constitution as it
is, and the Union as it is, and the Union
as it was before the war began, without any
alteration, unless made in accordance with
the rules laid down in that sacred instru-
ment. Ia the language of General Jackson.
and reiterated by the great exrounder of the
Constitution, Daniel Webster: "The Union
and the Constitution-one and inseparabie:
they must and shall be preserved" and
that they may be until the end of time is
the tervent wish of your friend.

ACIDS IN SuMMER.-Ph Physiological re-
search establishes the fact that acids pro-
mote separation of the bile from the blood,
which is then passed from the system, thus
preventing fevers are "bilious;" that is, the
bile is in the blood. Whatever is antago-
nistic of fever is cooling. 1t is common
saying that fruits are cooling" and also
berries of every description; it is because
the acidity which they contain aids in sep
arating the bile from the blood. Hence the
great yearning for greens, and lettuce, and
salade in the early Spring--these being eat
en- with vinegar; hence, also, the taste for
something sour-for lemonades-in attacks
of fever. But, this being the case, it Is ca
sy to zee that we nullify the good effects of
fruit and berries in proportion as we eat
them with sugar, or with sweet milk or
cream. II we eat them in their natural
state, ripe, fresh, perfect, 1t is almost I'M
possible to eat too manp, or eat enough to
hurt us, especially if we eat them alone,
and not take any liquid with them whaiev-
er. Hence, also, is buttermilk. or even
common milk, promotive of health in the
Summer time. Sweet milk tends to bilious
ness in sedentary people; sour milk Is an
tagonistic. The Greeks and Turks are
passionately fond of milk. The shepherds
use rennet, and milk dealers alum, to make
it sour the sooner. Buttermilk acts like
watermeleons on the system.-Hdps Jour.

W.. II. Merritt, Lieut.. Col. First Regiment
Ioaca Volunteers:
18th inst, appears q communication over
your signature, which pnrports to be ''Re-
port of the part taken by the Iowa troops IN
the battle of Wilson's Creek" Your state
ments in regard to the part taken by your
self and your troops, I have no disposition
to criticise at this time; but when you step
out of your way to make assertions derog-
atory Of the men of the First Kansas Regi-
mcmillan whom no troops exhibited more
bravery. nor fought longer or harder, as
their thinned ranks will abundautly dem
onstrate-you shall not 60 unrebuked. You
say that as you "were advancing to engage
the enemy, you met the Kansas First re-
treating in confusion" DC. It is true that
a considerable body of troops-to whose
command they belong. will not, for obvi-
Gus reasons, state-did retreat in greet con-
fusion about the time you were marching
Ito the front, and it is quite probable that
they ''broke through your ine,'' as they
did through that of the Kansas First and
Second but your charge that they were
Kansas volunteers is false. The First Kan
sas engaged the enemy at the right of Capt.
Totten's battery for nearly an hour before
your regiment came up, aud it maintained
its ground, under most terrific FIRE, dur
ing the whole engagement; and when the
order 10 retreat from the field was given,
they marched off in good order. and your
charge to the contrary is. repeat, libel.
If you desire it. will refer you to gentle
men of unquestioned veracity, who will
testify as TO what troops retreated in eoufu
sion; and then, if you have one spark of the
honor of soldier in your nature. you will
promptly correct the false impression which
your hasty report has created.
The consolidated official report of the
killed and wounded. which will be published
in few days by the commanding officer,
will doubtless show the part taken by the
several regiments engaged in that battle;
and then candid and impartial public can
judge what troops "were in" the thickest
of the fight, and. under the most CALLING fire.
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't,

FUNERAL OF LIEUT.. SHAw.-The body
of Lieut.. Shaw arrived in this city. under
charge of Capt. Ayers and Chaplain Brant,
on last Friday, and was inferred in the City
Cemetery on Saturday. We believe We
have never seen so large funeral cortege
in Lawrence. The death of a young man
who had so endeared himself to our people
would in itself have secured large atten-
dance; but the peculiar circumstances at.
tending his death, called together a very
unusual concourse of people. The whole
city seemed in mourning. He was buried
with military honors.
Mr.. Shaw was man of brilliant intel
lect-modest and unpretending-devotin
himself laboriously and studiously to his
profession. He was native of Vermont,
and graduate of Dartmouth College. Al
the first call for volunteers, he entered the
ranks as private, in Capt. Cracklin's COM
pany, and was selected as one of the Lieu
tenants. Passing through the terrible bat
tie of Springfield, he was returning on d
visit to Lawrence, when lie met death, al
the sssassin's hands, in the Platte Bridge
tragedy. He will be long remembered, and
his urtimely end lamented by those who
knew him best.-L0aCrence Republican.
