A military correspondence of the ,Par-
kersburg Rest YIgnian, writing from wes-
tou, Lewis county, is responsible for the
following effusion. Among the first places
we shall yisitwill be the town of Weston,
if the following is true:
the G1RIs OF WESTON.
Twas on the ninth ldayto of May
That we were ordered away,
AT least the captain so did say,
That we must go away to Weston.
That night we got four miles from town,
There we found good camping ground;
The boys declared that they were bound
To seeihe girls of Weston town 49,
Next morning we were upat three;
The boys were, all full of glee; s. Z ara
They did expect that night to see ~
The pretty girls of Weston. 's'
The teams they did go very slow,
The reason why hardly know,
Excepting that we lOnged SO
To see the girls of Weston, o.
The fields out here are very green,
And the incest girls I've ever seen
In all the places have been,
Are out here in Weston. sE
The girls out here are very good,
I'D like TO have one if couldi
But then do not think they would
Marry out here in Weston.
The people here are very kind;
hope you will bear in mind
That nicer girls you cannot find
Than those out here in Weston.
l do not know how long we'll stay,
1t may not be another day
Before we have to march away,
And leave the girls of Weston.
But there is one thing will say,
That if we have TO GO away,
l will come back again some day
To see the girls of Weston.

Eight Great Blunders.

We give below an article from the
columns of the Religious Herald, a
Baptist paper of Richmond, Virginia.
1t shows SO much more Of GOODNESS of
Judgment and candor of. mind than we
are in the habit of finding in our
southern exchanges, that we deem it
worthy of special notice. 1t says the
south has made at least eight great
blunders, and enumerates them as fol
lows:
l. In firing upon Fort Sumter.
2. In believing that thera would be a
divided north, aud an apathetie Federal
Government.
8. In believing that they would have
the hearty sympathies Ct Europe.
/. In believing that the bonds of theil
Confederacy would really be taken il
Europe.
5. In believing that the military
power of the north would be directed il
a crusade against slavery, rather than
employed for the overthrow Of treason
| and the establishment of the Union and
the Constitution. s.
| 6. In believing that the northern
courage and physique were no match
for southern, or that in battle one
southernsr equalled FIVE Yankees.
Z. In believing that the flag of tht
Cotton Oligarchy would wave about the
Capitol at Washington, and the roll @
slaves be called on Bunker hill.
| 8. In believing that the fancied ON.
impotence of cotton would dominate the
commerce OF the world.
| Bus the greatest blunder, as we'll al
the greatest wickedness, was the act o
secession itself. -Latheran Observer.

..THE SONG OF THE CAMP"

Bayard Taylor has written many poem:
that will not soon be forgotten, but he has
never written enc that will continue more pop
ular than the following, founded on vel
known incident in the Crimean War:
aGive us a songl" the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns Of the camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scof,
Lay grim, aid threatening, UNDER
And the tawny mouth of the Malakof
No longer belched its thunder.
There Baa.a pause. The guardssnan said,
ave storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day,
Will bring enough of sorrow"
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame
Forgot was Britain's glory
Eacn heaft recalleQ aulHerSut udIue,
But all sang "Ana lie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose, like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl-her name he dare not speak
Yet as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English Love remembers.
And once again fire of shell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot, and burst of shell,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim,
Nor singer dumb and CORY,
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of "Annie Laurie"
Ali soldiers to your honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing
The bravest and the tenderest-
The loving are the daringl

The Two Parties.

In the great struggle between Liberty
and Despotism which is now waged IN
this country, lrty spirit will inevitably
play prominent part. The enemies,
or conditional friends, of constitutional
liberty will sympathize as party men,
When the armed resistance of disloyal
citizens is suppressed, it is evident that
such Union men as Senator Carlile of
Virginia, and Senator Davis Of fKentucky,
will be inclined to strike hands with
such open friends of the rebellion as
Mr.. Ben Wood and Mr.. Vallandigham
Ought not this fact to make such men
as the Union Senators hesitate? Can a
party to which all the secret and silent
adherents of disunion attach themselves,
be party which can possibly promise
peace to the country in the future?-
Can Mr.. Davis cleave to a party which
holds that armed rebellion is a proper
remedy for constitutional defeat, with
out supporting all that JEFF. Davis has
ever claimed?
There are really but two parties in
the country at this moment. There is
the party of absolutely loyal men, who
hold that the integrity of the nation
must be preserved at every cost, but who
differ as to the time and way in which
slavery should be touched; and there is
the party of disloyal men who are
either openly in arms, or who secretly
support those in arms, or who declare
that, if slaves are not untouched, how
ever much they may be used against the
Government, they will virtually aid the
rebellion.
There are very few men in the country
who do not belong to one of these two
parties, and out of these two the work
ing political organizations of the future
are to arise. The question that will di-
vide them is slavery; and slavery will be
the dividing question of all parties in
the country until it absolutely over
powers the Government, or until it is
seen to be in process of extinction
For it is a contest of civilization. The
party of liberty asserts that every man
was born with equal civic rights; that
an injustice which rcpels the moral
sense of mankind is bad political policy
and that as, in popular government
the great mass of the citizens must be
laborers, therefore labor must be re-
spected. While the party of slavery
contends, in the words of the Charles
ton Mercury, that "Slavery is the nat
ural and normal condition of the labor
ing man, whether white or black tha
men have no natural rights, and tina
therefore for the strong to rob and op,
press the weak is not injustice.
The party of slavery is intrenched in
Ignorance and prejudice, and the practi
cal difficulty of dealing with vicious
system of society. The party of liberty
is strengthened by common sense-by
experience of the necessary ceusequen
ces of slavery, which are war, taxation
and anarchy-and by the positive ad
vantages of liberty, which are genera
prosperity, intelligence, and civil Sc
curity. The practical weakness of th'
party Of slavery will be the inhumal
and revolving doctrines and practices
which it must logically assert and de
fend: the weakness of the party Of lihert,
, will be the difference of opinion as t.
