In the course Of lecture iC Boston
last week, Ralph Waldo Emerson said
We were already two nations in senti-
ment, and intimated that an actual d.
vision was desirable. If We should lose
Virginia, we should lose slavery, and
for the first time, the United States
would be nation of frsemen. For the
first time, it would stand among the ma
tons as for freedom. He said that we
now began to have . country, and It
would be happy day that would give
US an honest country at last. The ex-
preston OF these sentiments was greeted
with loud applause.

Foreigners RaIlying for the Union.
Not the least important feature of the
pr sent war is the alacrity and prompt
meas with which adopted citizens are
rallying about The standard Of the stars
and stripes. Ia this section of the coun-
try where the foreign element largely
exists, We notice that full one half OF
the volunteers are of foreign descent.
Four companies have already been
formed here, two Of which are German
Companies, with slight exceptions made

would be but reasonable TO expect they

danger when the land Of their adoption
is ,ncnaccd. When the call for yoIun-
teers was sounded through the land, the
foreign citizens were the first to turn
ASIDE from their peaceful employment
AMI tender their services, and if need be
their lives, for the welfare Of this coun-
try. While native citizens stop to ask
questions and consider the propriety
and political bearing of the matter, the
rush for their arms and are eager to face
the enemy. We should be proud that
VIZ have such able allies in these chill

How to Prepare for the Campaign.
An old soldier adds the following to
his suggestion to new recruits for the
war:
!. Remember that in campaign
more men die from sickness than by the
bullet.
2. Line your blanket with one thick.
ness Of brown drilling. Ills adds but
four ounces in weight, and doubles the
warmth.
3. Buy a small India rubber blanket
only 81 50) to lay on the ground or
to throw over your shoulders when on
guard duty during rain storm. Most
OF the Eastern troops are provided with
these. Straw to lie upon is not always
to be had.
4. The best military hat in use is the
light colored soft felt, the crown being
sufficiently high to allow space for all
over the brain. You can fasten it up
as continental in fair weather, or turn
il down when it is wet or yer, sunny.
5. Let your beard grow, so as to pro-
tect the trost and lungs.
6. Keep your entire person clean
this prevents fevers and bowel com.
plants in warm climates. Wash YOU
body each dav if possible. Avoid strong
coffee and oily meat. General Scot,
said that the too free use Of these, TO-
gether, with neglect in keeping the skin
clean, cost many . soldier his life il
Mexico.
7. A sudden check Of perspiration BY
chilly or night air often causes feve'
and death. When thus exposed do moi
forget your blanket.

IL seems to us that aliens should now be re-
quired 10 take the oath Of allegiance to our
Government. and that the same test Of loyalty
might very judiciously be applied TO those
amongst us who are known to have voted, a
few brief months ago, against the ratification
OF the ordinance of secession. Many Of Ouf
,oedHhy men opposed secession to the last, and
may be still opposed to separation and South.
