COMPANY X. Sd REG, Iowa VOLUNTEERS
CAMP CHlLLIcornE, July u, 1861 {
Mr.. EDITOR :-'Tis the Sabbath morn /!
clear, calm, and pleasant; and as
hear the peal Of the church going
bells" ringing out upon the morning
breeze, l am carried back to the hills
and dales, the forests and meadows of
old New York, where | first heard
their chime; where, light-hearted, l
went down the shady lane, and across
the brook which always went singing
along DER its pebbly bed until it lost
itself in the beautiful Susquehanna.
1t seemed to my boyish fancy as
though, on Sabbath mornings, that
rattling stream wended its way with a
softer, sweeter murmur that the
puny cascade over which its waters
danced and sparkled and foamed, had
a.more musical cadence that the will
lows, whose bending boughs kissed
the silvery waters, had a brighter
tinge of green, and as if they too re-
joiced in the day set apart for the
service and worship of the Most High.
l say all this was recalled to my mind
this morning as heard the chime Of
the Chillicothe church bells.

Practical Joke Of a Fire Zouave.

An +. +. v, with rather more than
the usual supercillousncss of his race,
rode up in carriage from the direc-
tion of Alexandria, driven of course
by his servant" Zoo-zoo stepped
into the road, holding his bayonct in
such a way as to threaten horse, me-
gro and white man at one charge, and
roared out "TICk ETS." Mr. V. turn
cd up his lip, set down his brows, and
by other gestures indicated his con-
tempt for such mud-sills as the sold;e:
before him, ending by handing his
pass over to the darkey and motioning
him to get out and show it to Zoo-zoo.
"All right" said the latter glanc.
ing at it, move on accompanying
the remark with jerk at the coat
collar of the colored person, which
sent him spinning several PAGES down
the road. "Now sir, what do you
want ?" addressing the astonished
white man.
White man had by this time recov-
cred his tongue Want? | want to
go on, of course. That was my pass" D."
Cant help it, replied Zoo "it
says pass the bearer, and the bearer is
already passed. You can't get two
men through this picket on one mans
pass"
Mr.. V. reflected a moment. glanced
at the bayonet in front of him, and
then called out to his black man to
come back. Sambo approached eau
tiously, but fell back in confusion
when the "shooting-stick was bran
dished towards his own breast.
" Where's your pass, sirrah 2
asked Zoo-zoo.
Here, massa," said the chattel,
presenting the same one he had re-
ceived from the gent in the carriage.
Wont do," replied the holder of
the bayonet. THAT passes you to Fair
fax. Can't let any one come from
Fairfax on that ticket. MOVE On"
A stamp of the foot sent Sambo down
the road at hand gallop.
"Now sir, if you stay here any
longer shall take you under arrest
to headquarters" he continued.
Mr.. V. grabbed up his lines, wheeled
around, and went off at the best trot
his horse could manage, over the
sacred soil" Whether Sambo ever
hunted his master up is not known.

THE DYING ROSE.
By MISS Il. j. COLE.

By MISS Il. j. COLE.
A rose of radiant beauty
Had dropped its lovely head,
And thus in farewell duty,
Its blushing petals said:
Behold my beauty lying
Low on the damp, cold ground
My fresh young bloom expiring,
Ere scarce my worth was found.
aye lovely and We youthful,
Behold my early fall.
And learn lesson truthful,
Ere all lifc's joys shall pail.
"Lo once my face you hattered-
Its beantcous bloom you pressed
But now my leaves lie scattered
Far from the parent breast.
"Thus may your days be ended.
While all your hopes are bright,
And hearts and souls once blended,
BE severed by the blight.
=" But though my bloom is wasted,
There is rich perfume,
Sweeter than earth hath tasted,
Arising from my tomb.
"Thus may your steps be chosen,
In youths bright morning bloom,
That from your silent ashes,
May come a sweet perfume.
These words of truth and wisdom,
The lovely rose had said,
Then its faded beauty,
Far from our vision fled.

Mr.. Greeley's Card.

Horace Greely y has been constrained
to come out over his own name, in
the Tribune, with an article partly de-
fensivc and partly apo!ogetic, in an
swcr to those who have arraigned his
course on the war. With regard to
certain and many paragraphs in the
Tribune, rejecting injuriously upon
the Administration, he says that he
did not write or suggest one of them,
and he intimatcs that that fact re-
lieves him (the editor.in-chicf of the
paper) from the charge of opposing
the Administration. This is a conven-
lent doctrine, rather. lie then con-
fesses that he has not agreed with the
war policy which seemed to be favored
by the Government, and he adds:
But the watchword, Forward to
Richmond i is not mine, nor anything
of like import. | wish to evadc no
responsibility, but to rcpel personal
aspersion. SO with regard to the late
article urginga change in the Cabinet. .
While | know that some of the best
material in the country enters into the
composition of the Cabinet, | yet feel
that changes might be made therein
with advantage to the public service.
Yet | did not write, and did not in
tend to have published, the article
calling for change of Cabinet, which
only appeared through misappre-
henSion."
These are curious statements, but
we suppose Mr.. Greedy is entitled to
the benefit of all doubts. At any rate,
it is gratifying to see the porer of an
earnest public sentiment making itself felt
even in quarters which aspire to control
il. Witness the following, overlooking
the petty personality at the beginning
with which the patient sugars his pill:
Henceforth, bar all criticism in
these columns on army movements,
past or future, unless somebody should
undertake to prove that General Pat
terson is a wise and brave comman-
der. He seems to have none to speak
his praises so if there is anything to
be said in his behalf, will make an
exception in his favor Other than
this, the subject is closed and sealed.
Correspondents and reporters may
state facts, but must forbear COM
ments. l know there is truth that
yet needs be uttered on this sub
ject. but this paper has done its full
share--all that it ought and perhaps
more than it could afford to do, and
henceforth stands back for others.
Hencetorth it shall be the Tribune's
sole vocation to rouse and animate the
American people for the terrible Or
deal which has befallen them. The
Great Republic imminently needs the
utmost exertions Of every loyal heart
and hand. We have tried to serve
her by exposing breakers ahead and
around her henceforth, be it ours to
strengthen. in all possible ways, the
hands of those whose unenviable du-
ty it is to pilot her through them. If
more good is thus to be done, let us
not repine that some truth must be
withheld for calmcr moment, and for
less troubled ears"

GENERAL FREMONT.

A st. Louis correspondent of Sat-
urday, the Goth, says of affairs in the
West:
Wanted-Gcneral Fremont. The
rebels in the Southwest are receiving
excellent care from General Lyon =;
but throughout the Northern part of
the State there are little eruptions of
Secessionism-here to-day and there
to-morrow--now you see it, and now
you don't see it. The proper mode of
dealing with it is to adopt the Donny-
brook Fair plan, wherever you see a
head, hit it, But the Union forces
need some controlling leader in this
city, and the arrival of the Pathfinder
is anxiously looked for.
Brigadier General John Pope, of II.
linois, with Il force which will soon
exceed four thousand, has taken up
his head quarters at st. Charles, and
issued the inevitable proclamation.
These proclamations, like the indigni-
ties hcaped upon our Revolutionary
ancestors, have increased, are in
creasing and ought to be diminished.
Wherever a captain is located with a
squad of men, to guard q bridge or
protect a culvert, he Immediately is
sues pronunciamento. But this one,
which reminds traitors that he has Il
force large enough to compel obedi-
ence to the laws and warns them that
they will be dealt with in the most
summary manner, without awaiting
civil process is brief, pertinent doc
ument, and may be appropriately
termed Pope's Essay on Secession.
1t seems to be the design of Gen.
LyoI, when he does move, to pursue
the rebels into Arkansas, and perhaps
to penetrate to Fort Smith, on the
border of the great Indian Territory
and to retake that post. The Indian
Territory-by the way, nine times lar
ger than Massachusetts the finest
agricultural region in the Uuion,
much better watered and timbered
than Illinois or Kansas, with a prefer.
able climate, a soil equally rich, and
underlaid by enormous fields of coal
Only the bottoms along the streams
are adapted to cotton grain, cattle,
and fruit are its leading products.
Come what may, II must be secured
to Northern labor and institutions.
The Choctaw, Cherokee, Greek, and
Chickasaw Indians, who inhabit it.,
govern themselves and educate their
children, and life and property are SAT-
er among them than among their
white neighbors Of Arkansas and
Texas.
Whenever Gen. Lyons command
moves forward you may look for a
good report from it. The star regi-

EARLY FRIENDS,
by WINFIELD SCOTT RIDER.

Sweetly the roses are blooming
Ter many "a bright green field,
And the air is filled with the fragrance
Which those dew-covered roses do Yield

The stars twinkle brightly on high,
And the fair new moon, like a silver boat,
Sails gracefully along through the sky.

On friends who now are no more,
On friends who were loved, and were loving,
In the cloudless days gone before.
Sweet Nellie lies sleeping. where flowers
Sigh over her mound as they wave,
And the winds in the soft summer evenings
Come gently and kiss her lone grave.
Oh well | remember that sorrowful day
When they laid her to rest in the tomb.
When an angel came to her and whispered
'Sweet sister, you il soon be at home"
Far away on an Isle in old Ocean,
Where the sea-iowl builds her lone nest
In nook meath the shade of cypress
Poor Harry is laid to his rest
Madly against the storm beaten rocks
Kisses and foams the salt-sea surge.
The wind sweeps 10y with piercing vail,
And these are his funeral dirge.
In Italy cline where the orange trees bloom
A low sound comes mountully on,
Like a funeral wall so low and So sad
Saying Lizzie has found here tomb !"
We miss thee, Oh Lizzie so bright and SO fair.
With your eyes Of blue, and your golden hair,
You have passed away, like thing of light,
Which appears,-is admired, then fades from
our sight
Yet we know we shall ID eet on happier shore,
Where sorrow and death can come never more.
