The RepubIicnn Caucus.

WASHINGTON, July IL. The adjourned
meeting of the republican caucus was held at
the capitol tonight. A brief discussion rose
on motion to exclude spectators on the moor
and in the galleries, during which representa-
tive Roscoe Conkling said that he was willing
to learn party tactics from the democratic
party, who, whenthey met to discuss questions
involving differences of opinion, do not throw
open their doors to the public lie ana not
care who came to their aid the republicans
being in majority will be held responsible by
the country.
Representative DIN said if everything done
here was to be spread before the public, be
it so. Let all the world know it and also who
they are who serve both God and mammon
Mr.. Colfax gave a sudden turn to the discus
sion by submitting a resolution inviting all
loval men in this hour of the countrys peril,
to put down those in arms against the govern
ment and to punish treason with severity, &C
The resolution was received with applause.
Mr. Stevens thought that before they acted
on this resolution, they should hear the ad-:
dress which the committee were prepared to
report This might supersede the necessity
for the passage of such resolution.
Mr. Colfax withdrew the resolution for the
present. After further proceedings the chair
man, DIR. Sherman of New York, put the
question, winch was carried, 10 Respectfully
request all those not members of the caucus
to retire. The spectators then withdrew.
The address, which was prepared by Mr..
Bingham, was then read. 1t was an elaborate
argument, referring among other things to
several of the acts of the present congress.
Mr.. Colfax offered the following resolutions
as substitute for the address =
Resolved, that we hold it to be the duty Of
all loyal men to stand by the Union in this
hour of its trial, and to unite their hearts and
hands in earnest and patriotic efforts for its
maintenance against those who are in arms
against it, to sustain with determined resolu-
ton our patriotic president and his admins
tration in their energetic efforts for the prose-
cution of the war, and the preservation of the
Union against enemies at home or abroad, to
punish traitors and treason with fitting sever
ity, and to crush the present wicked and cause
less rebellion, so that no flag of disunion shall
ever again be raised over any portion of the
republic; and that to this end we invite the
cooperation of all men who love their coun-
try, in the endeavorto re-enkindle throughout
all the states, such patriotic fire as shall
utterly consume all who strike at the union of
our fathers, and all who sympathize with their
treason or palliate their guilt.
After an animated debate this resolution
was adopted as substitute for the address,
with but few dissenting voices. The caucus
then adjourned sine die.

A correspondent Of the Trbans who wac
in the Battle at Fort Donelson thus writesf
Few persons are there who have nps
some curiosity about baule-felds, and who
10 not desire TO know how men fee, when
under fire, especially before custom has
made them feel indifferent or secure. Most
OF those who we're at Donelson must have
had THIS experience, AS the field was such
that few could 90 to any part Of il without
incurring more or less risk. Hardly any
one could see the enemy or their guns, and
consequently the first intimatou of tlcif
presence would be the falling of a shell OF
the ratlling of shot or balls in his immedi.
ate vicinity.
LIDO not suppose I have much physical
or moral courage, but the sensations under
fire, judging from my experience. are differ.
ent from what is expected. as
A reasoning man at first feels alarmed.
and his impulse Is to rup away; and if he
has no reason to stand, he probably does
run but at each exposure he grows less
timid, and after hearing canister and grape
about his ears dozen times, begins 10 think
he is not destined to be hurt
lie still feels rather uneasy, perhapss
but the danger becomes fascinating, and,
though he don't wish to be hit, he likes to
have narrow escapes, and so voluntarily
places himself in position where he can
incur more risk.
After little while, he begins TO reason
the matters reflects upon the Doctrine Of
Probabilities, and how much powder and
lead is necessarily wasted before any man
is killed or wounded.
Why should he be, he thinks, so much
more unlucky than many other people,
and he soon can hear the whizzing Of bull
cts with a tolerable degree of equanimitD
though he involuntarily lodges or tries to
dodge the cannon balls or shells that go
bowling around his immediate neighbor>
hood.
In the afternoon, he is quite different
creature from what he was in the morning,
and involuntarily smiles to see man be-
tray the same trepidation which he himself
exhibited few hours before.
The more he is exposed to fire, the better
ne can bear it; and the timid being of to-
day is the hero Of to-mrrrow and he who
runs from danger ON the first battlefield
will run into il on the next, and court the
hazard he once so dreaded.
Thus courage, as it is styled, Is liltle
more with most men than custom and they
learn to despise what has often threatened
without causing them HARM If wounded,
they learn wounds are less painful to bear
than they had supposed, and then the Doct.
rine of Probabilities teaches them once more
they are less liable to be wounded again.
So the mental process goes on until the
Nerves become by degrees the subject Of
Will; and be only fears who has not iha
will to be brave.

TO MY AUNT.

One boon ask Of thee TO grant.

And round tiny sisters children throw

Go back those long, long years which lay
Between the present and that time,
When down from Heavens lovely CLINE
An angel came, to gently bear
Our mothers spirit upward there.

Upon those iorms, whieh weeping bow,
Around that cherished one who lies
Prestrate and low, but soon will rise
To nights so far beyond their sight,
n will leave between them darkest night.
The husband with his children i've,
His aged parents, still alive,
In deepest grief gathered round,
To watch the IS silver cord y unbound.
The mother knows she soon must part
With all these dear ones of her heart,
And so she asks for strength to tell,
She's tried TO do her duties we'll y
Four little heads around her stand, -
She lays on each her snowy hand,
On each her dying blessing fails,
And on her Makers name she calls.
on each she presses now Kiss,
The last she II ever give on this
Cold world from which she's hast'nins fast,
To Join that congregation vast,
Who round her Fathers throne doth praise
The trio in their holy lays.
The tlfth a babe who years hath none.
(By months its age Is told alone,l
She now hath taken to her breast,
To give that, too, her last caress.
SEQ how il rends her mothers heart,
With this, the last dear babe TO part,
But calmly the setting sun
Doth sink to rest when day is done,
She gives IL back to those around
The !. silver cord'' is then unbound
Some twenty years have passed away,
That babe is Still alive to-day,
And tits her pen that moves TO write
These lines unto her sunt tonight
For oft she's heard her sisters tell
Of that kind aunt they loved so well
Aud Fancy Oft hath pictured too,
Her mothers sister good and true
May life to her be long and sweet,
May joys on ev'ry side her greet,
May angels watch and guard her well
Till death shall break that common spell
Which keeps US mortals here below.
Then let US 10 Maker go.
May Heavens glories round her shines
Through that eternal age Of time
Which God, our Father, to US gave,
And which, too, lives beyond the grave.
But now good night, nv own dear aunt,
The boon I've asked. l know thou IL grant,

And ia thy mem'ry sacred hold,
And in thy heart wilt kindly f0id

that nothing was the matter-it was mere

A friend suggested that she should call in
DIR. Jones, young man just commencing

but finally consented, and Dr. Jones was
called. He was person Of good address
and polite manners. He looked carefully
at her throat, asked her several questions
as TO the sensation at the seat of the malady,
and finally announced that he could relieve
her. On his second visit he brought with
him delicate pair Of forceps, in the teeth
of which he had inserted bristle taken
from an ordinary toothbrush. The rest

THE GRAVES ON TIE POTOMAC.

Speak .enderly Of dead volunteers,
Their hrayes lie along the Potomscs shore
Dim is the blue Of their northern eyes
They soldiers Of sod, forcscrmope.
When the flush Of Spring time lay on the hills,
Our gathered in Patriot band,
Rallying under the Star Spangled Banner,
Brsyely defending our glorious land
They raised their tents Yirginia's shore,
10 the uoon-tide heat Of the southern sun.
Round the Capitol our soldiers kept guard;
In the Autumn, they sicsened. one By one.
Many soldier lay dying At night
No watchers, save the stars in the sky
And the shining over the tents,
Hhene the soldier was laid down to die.
Many are mourning their noble dead,
Whose graves made on Virginias shore
Sweetly they re sleeping, earth for their pillow,
Near them is sounding Potomse's chill roar.
The stars shining softly over each grave,
Lying unguarded la the moonlight dim,
Lonely and stil volunteers steep,
Soldiers forever in the . world without sinh
Sleep, yes, sleep on, In the starlight,
Though the of the cannon sound near,
An army might thunder over each grave,
And not waken the dead volunteer.
The rolling of drums, the clashing Of arms,
Move not tae slumbersrs under the sod
Their battles over--sleeping at last
Keeping guard, in the city Of God. 5. A. s

KEEP THE HEART YOUNG.

Keep the heart young though the sands ebb low,
And the silver cord be parting
Though the wrinkle come, and the go,
And the first gray hairs are starting
Smooth IL you eau, the furrowed check,
And the brow where years written;
Dye. II you will, those locks so sleek,
Till your age be snugly hidden.
But the heart may be yooRg, though the lock grow old
All its inner life revealing,
And its pulses leap, though the blood run cold,
Like the brook through yon dinge stealing.
As the pearl keeps fair in its sunkeu she'll
Though the beach be wasting ever,
And the springs still gush in the shady deli.
While the dying day beams quyer;
As the leaves fade net on the ivy green,
With the rest in autumn weather,
Let the links Keep bright, in their golden sheen,
That bind all together.

Aud talked Of different kinds Of ears,
And hitched their chairs up higher.
Then Susan she the pepper shook, fH

Till both their faces grew as red siia ns tita
As saueepans made Of copper.
Ard then they shelled and popped and ats,
All kinds Of fun apokiug, es

And she laughed at his joking. 81
And still they popped, aud still they ate,
Johns mouth was like hopper1
And stirred the fire, and sprinklcd salt,
Aud shook aud shook the pepper.
Theclock struck nine, the clock struck tcn
And stth the corn kept popping;
1t struck eleven and then struck twelve,
And still no signs of stopping.

The corn did pop aud patter,--
