We learn from the War Depart

view OF the eXigcmcies of the times
are pouring in with astonishing rap

crate States is overwhelming, and
would amount in the aggregate TO more
than double the number of troops
that would be needed in the field.
\ singular fact, in connection with
this subject, is that two Thousand
Indians, living on the western front
Ter, have rendered their services IL
case of need, and avowcd their lntcn

selves true statesmen and ptriots thus far and

are, to trust them for full term. Change and
the corruptIons engendered thereby destroyed

beauty and excellence, imparting His own I'M

swellings of the mighty, vast ocean, with its
meuntain pillows OF snowy foam; the terrific
thunderstorm, with its lurid forked lightning :;
the awful tornado, the impetuouS rushing cata-
ract, and the giant oak of the forest are all in
vested with grand poetry, filling the immag-

suggestive of the high and lofty One that in
habiteth Eternity and of our own immortality
when this " corruptible shall put on incorrup-

tality"
Nor is the enthusiastic lover Of nature less
enchanted with the soft magic of streamlet or
hill, the beauty of the daisy, the violet and
primrose, wasting their sweetness upon the
desert air." and doomed to be crushed by un-
poetic footsteps of the careless observer Of the
beautiouS and lovely in nature. But to the
poetic mind, these little fowery ornaments and
meadowy woodland, with their fairy BELLS WOO
ing the gentle breeze and their magical asso-
Citations, only seem like SO many little sunny
visions, leading US far away from the actual to
the ideal They seem to utter a sweet elo-
quent poetry to the passer-by, saying:
'Will you come where the sweet -triar grows
Where the heath flower blossoms aroundi
Will you come where the hyacinth blows,
And the daisy just peeps from the ground
There's bower by the side of yon lake;
lis the chosen abode Of the rosc
Where the wings Of the linnet awake
The leaves from their calm ropose."
We pity those who are immured within the
walls of city and town. To them the lovely
book is nearly closed where brick and mortar
shut out the beautiful vision of mountain and
valley, brook and river. Bat often there are
parks and squares, giving out their sweet
odours to the air from their fresh, green grass
and flowery shrubs. Then, come out lady,
into the sunshine, the woods arc green aud
gay.
How roerry from yon CID boogh
The mock bird thrills his lay;
The squirrel leaps from tree to tree
All nature seems at play.
Wen seek the fields where the straw berries
All ruddy rip ming elow
Wen strip the eglantine to make
chaplet for thy brow
THU lowest the woods because that they,
Like thee. in life's May.
And l. because they have spell
To chase sad thoughts away

IMPORTANT FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

IMPORTANT FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
WASHINGTON, SEPT 7.-Respectable gentlemen
who have arrived here from North Carolina,
by circutious route say that the Union pros
meets in that State are of the most encourag-
ing character. The acting Governor is a rell-
able Union man. Secret leagues of loyal cltl-
zens exist in every county, which are rapidly
increasing in strength, and already number one
half of the voting population Of the State. a
provisional State Government will be put into
oneratiOn in a few months Two full brigades
of loyal men have been enrolled for the Union
cause.
The Leagues made extended arrangements
for e1ccting a member of Congress from every
district, and four were known to have been
elected on the 21st of August. The latest
news is that the entire eight are elected, each
having received large vote. They are among
the best men in the State, and will insist upon
a vigorous prosecution of the war. Their cir
tificates of election will bear the signature OF
the Governor, and the broad seal OF the State.
Since the engagement at Hatteras Inlet and
the capture of the forts there, the North Caro-
lima troops have been Withdrawn from virgin
ia Many of the troops are dissatisfied with the
war and those who entered the service Tor a
short term. refuse to continue in the Confeder-
ate employment
THE above is all false and known to be so
bv every sensible man North. There has been
no .s Union sentiment'' here since the procla-
nation of Lincoln calling upon the "rebels
to disperse, but on the contrary we have 80, ooo
men in the field ready to do battle for South
ern independence. No troops have been with
drawn from Virg MIA nor will there be to pro-
tect our own SOIL for there are enough left be-
hind for all the Yankee thieves who may dare
