March on, ye brave and gallant ones,
Who at your country's call,
Leave friends, and home, and all that's dear,
To face the bloOd-stained pail.
March on, and feel that with you goes
The blessings of the true,
And strike to earth the bastard foes
of the red white and blue.
For that loved and cherished emblem,
Floating there so gracefully,
Is our peoples PRIDE our country's gem,
And freedoms canopy.
March on, for heavens protecting smile
VIII guide and comfort you,
And living hearts at home the WHILE
Will beat both warm and true,
March on, nor heed the Southern foe,
With their fiery cant and brag
March on, and lay each traitor low
Who dares insult the flag.
For that loved and cherished emblem,
Floating there so gracefully,
Is our peoples pride, our country's gem,
And Freedoms canopy.

THE GREAT FIRE IN LONDON.

From the London Times, June 25th.
1t is only by providential circumstance
that we have been spared the duty of rec
ording one of the most terrible calamities
by which a great city can be visited
There was moment on Saturday evening
when it seemed possible that the great fire
of London might occur over again; and,
indeed it was not owing to any resources
of modern times that this catastrophe was
escaped. Our reports of the confagration
will have shown how powerless were all
our inventions against the fury of the
flames. Had the wind been high, or had
it blown steadily away from the river in
the direction of the town, it is impossible
to say what might have been the fate of
the southern portion of the metropolis
The least that could have happened must
have been destruction over vast area, and
protection for the rest Of the city at the
cost of circle of ruins. By blowing up
belts of houses at proper distances the
flames might have been confined within
certain limits, but nothing short of that
desperate operation would have given us
security The event becomes the more i'm
pressive when we observe that everything,
apparently, was in our favor when the fire
began and that it asserted, nevertheless
its absolute mastery before five hours had
passed.
1t was not in the dead of night, but on
a summer afternoon, that the fire brigade
in Waiting street was summoned to Cotton's
wharf, close to London Bridge, on the south
side of the Thames. The engines, direct
ed by the chief of the brigade in person,
were quickly on the spot, when it was
found that fire had broken out in the
first story of warehouse. The building
was perfectly new, and constructed on ap-
proved principles of architecture strong
party walls, provided with iron doors, di-
vided the fabric, and the warehouses in
the vicinity were reputed to be fire-proof
also. The place had not been abandoned
for the night; the workmep were still on
the spot, and one of them actually discov-
cred in small heap of smoking hemp the
germ of that confagration which before
midnight was represented by three acres
of fame. Unhappily, the smoke at that
early period protected the fire. So dense
were its volumes as to forbid all approach,
and the flames were left to do its work.
Still there was vast array of engines in
the streets as we'll as on the stream; there
was trained brigade of firemen, conduct
ed by courageous and experienced lead
er; there was strong body of police to
aid in keeping order, and there were fire.
proof walls to contend against fire. But,
of all the appliances, not one availed to
control the flames. They burst forth
from the first warehouse, and seized an
other. Iron and brick, though they did
not actually blaze, yet burnt through and

LETTERS FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
From Camp Fairbanks.


The following is an extract of letter
written by Doty, of the Capital Guards,
to 0. L. Metcalf of Morrisville, dated at
Camp Fairbanks, D. c., June 28th:
we arrived at Philadelphia at IL 1-2
p. m, where we were received with great
enthusiasm, and marched to free supper,
which was partaken of with good relish.
Meanwhile, the ladies in great numbers,
sang the old "Green Mountain State"
cred, White and Blue" Hail Columbia"
&C., the bass of which, was we'll put in by
the 32-pounders on the Battery. We en-
barked again at l2 a. M, June Goth,
and moved on, while cheer after cheer went
up for the "Green Mountain Boys" At
dawn of day every one was armed and
equipped with loaded guns, and 5 rounds
extra. A report was current in the cars
that we should soon be in Baltimore, and
we should probably see some blood she'd
as the city was rising in arms. On re-
ceipt of this news, (Which proved to be
only test to try our courage,) every man
expressed himself ready to die with the
I'd Regiment, if need be, in the attempt to
lay the city in ashes. We arrived at a.
m., and formed in line of battle and
marched through unmolested, not cheer
greeted us, the police sullenly performed
their duty, and the ruffian crowd as sullen-
ly obeyed. We saw no secession flags, and
but very few Union flags, only on the out
skirts. After we were ready to start, sew
cral Baltimoreans came to the car windows
and informed us that our broad shoulders
aud loaded guns bore more striking re-
semblance of fight than the "rabble" had
seen since the Massachusetts, boys passed
through. There was many of our troops
camped in and around the city, from them
we received hearty welcome. We finally
arrived in Washington about II o'clock,
a. m., all safe and well. We made a tem-
porary stop at the depot and ate dinner
from our haversacks We rested until )
D. M, when we formed and marched to our
present camp, which is now called Camp
Fairbanks" 1t is nice level piece Of
uninclosed grass land, gently sloping to
the south, l-2 miles from and in full
view of the Capitol, two miles north Of
the cast branch of the Potomac river, and
about 4 IL miles southeast of Arlington
Heights" and in plain view We have a
healty location, good water and as much
to eat as expected. Let me here again
praise our quartermaster, also our surgeon
in fact, all our officers. They are without
exception prompt, efficient, and just such
men as | would have chosen to fight under
