Three Hundred Thousand More.

We are coming, Father Abraam three hun.
dred thousand more,
From Mississippi winding stream and from
New England's shore
We leave our plows and work shops, our
wives and children dear,
With hearts too full for utterance, with but
q silent tear;
We dare not look behind us, but stcadfastly
We are coming, Father Abraam-three hun
bred thousand more!
If you look across the hilltops that meet the
northern sky,
Long moving lines of rising dust your vision
may descry;
And now the wind an instant tears the
cloudy vail aside,
And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory
and in pride
And bayoncts in the sunlight CLEAN, and
bands brave music pour
We are coming, Father Abraam-tlirec hun
bred thousand more!
If you look all up our valleys, where the
growing harvests shine,
I GU may see our sturdy farmer boys fast
forming into line;
And children at their mothers knees are
pulling at the weeds,
And learning how to reap and SOW, against
their country's needs;
And farewell group stands weeping at
every cottage door
We are comming. Father Abraain three
hundred thousand more
You have called us. and we're coming, by
Richmonds bloody tide
To lay us down for Frecdam's sake, our
brothers bones beside
Or from foul Trcason's savage grasp to
wrench the murdcrous blade,
And in the face of foreign foes its fragments
to parade;
Six hundred thousand loyal mon and true
have gone before
We are coming, Father Abraam-thrcc hun

ATLATIc MONTHLY FOR SEPTEMBER opens
with the first Part of " David Gaunt,' a tale
by the author of &c Life in the Iron Mills. -
1t has a continuation of two other stories
" Life in the Open Air" by the late Thco-
dorc Winthrop, and Mr.. {" Axtcll," by an
anonymous writer. There is further por-
ton of Agassiz' wonderful clear and full
" Methods of Study in Natural History.'' and
hly-intercsting paper on Cerebral Dynam-
les, by Dr. Isaac Ray, of Providence. There
are several poems, the best by far, being
" Bethel" by A. J. II. Dugannc. L" The
Horrors Of St Domingo" by John Weiss, are
learfuy and tediously spun out, and at their
slow rate of progress, seem interminable. e.
Next, as a compensation, is a charming essay
called GA Complaint of Frends,'' from the
pen which, a few months since, gave the
readers of the Magazine an unusually rich
treat under the title OF " My Garden" -
There is a second article here, on "Tbe Life
of Birds,' by Mr.. Iligsinson, which will
delight those who love the country and have
any prediction for the stddy of National
History. We notice, with satisfaction, that
the circulation of tho atlantic Monthly has
increased 10 900 copies since the commence

tatcs of humanity, whenever it will con-
tribute to these results, Immediately or
remotely, condemn and confiscate to its
use every species of property of every
name and kind, whether animate or IMAM
innate, on two legs or on four. This
will give an earnest of the realities of
war.
We have MOI now, nor have We ever
had, over about onehalf men enough in
the field to conquer and hold so vast an
arena of rebellion and the occasion is
now presented for us to rectlfy the error,
and to cmbody force which can prac i
cally assert the strength and dignity of
the Government can crush the venom
out of this pestilent curse, and exhibit
to the envious, meddlesomc monarchics
of the old world the vindication of free,
governed people, against the machi
nations of conspiracy and the sympa HES
Of king craft.
In raising such force, the President
should understand that, so far as taxa
ton becomes necessary to vigorous
and successful prosecution of the war,
and so long as its fruits are aitbfully
applied to that purpose, the people will
not hesitate at any amount, for they
mean this Rebellion shall be destroyed
and the Constitution sustained, cost what
it will or come what may; and in COM
parison with these resul S they will dis
regard the dangers and bloodshed and
expenses of war.

and politicians are always behind The
people, and both should understand hat
the popular demand of to-day is not only
for the raising of 100000 men already
ordered, but for further order for an
equal number, with a recommendation
that every able bodied man between the
ages of Is and IS, should prepare to
take the field in case Of necessity. Let
this be recommended, and so much of it
as may be necessary carried INFO effect,
even to the whole, and conspiracy will
find its reward, and the Rebellion 90 to
where it belongs. Let the people de-
mand this, and our good President pro-
claim il, and little more will be wanted
than an act of amnesty for the masses
and ha!ters for the leaders, to restore
law and order and peace.
Let every one who loves the institu-
tons of his country now come forward to
defend them. Let every one who has a
patrio ic heart make protlcr of it before
the people. Let every one who has fai h
in free government show his fai h by his
works. let every one who has ability
to shoulder tirelock come forward to do
so, and help rescue this land our fathers
loved from the hands of tratorous
despoilels. Sincerely yours,

TIE BANANA THEE.-1his remarkable pro-

ties, furnishes one of the chief articles OF
CONSUMPTION to the inhabitants. attracted
the attention Of the great traveller, Won
Humboldt. These are some of his state
mcnts concerning It's great productivcness
He doubts - whether there is any plant on
the globe which, in so small space Of
ground, can produce 50 great mass Of nu-
trlmcnt. The fruit is yielded in punches,
containing from one hundred and sixty to
one hundred and eighty bananas or plan
tains. and weighing from sixty six to eighty
eight pounds. Eight or ten months after
the sucker has been inserted in the ground
the banana begins to form its clusters, and
the fruit may he gathered in less than a
year. When the stocks are cut, there is
always found among the numerous shoots
which have put forth roots, one that bears
three months later A spot Of ten hundred
and seventy six feet contains from thirty to
forty plants, which will yield more than
torty-tour hundred and ten pounds in year
The produce of the banana to that Of wheat
is as one hundred and thirty three to one,
and to that Of potatoes as forty-four to one.
The same spot cultivated with banana will
furnish subsistence for fifty individuals
which, in wheat, would not furnish food for
