s- If We are to have peace, it must be
by bravery in the field, and conservatism in
council.-Louisrille Journal.
Aye, aye, that undoubtedly is the opin.
ion of Union journals at the seat of war,
but up north thousand miles nearly from
you, most papers view it in different light.
They say the way to have peace is by
bravery in the field and radicalism in coun.
Gil. After persistent efforts to convince
them of their error, we are compelled to
abandon them to their error as being both
wilful and opinionated.

MilwA ukee, ,
This beautiful city is exhibitinga great deal

| LUIS oS"utiiul City Is ScAtluitiuSa STcol uea
of business activity this spring. The remov.
al of the ice embargo infused life which is
in most gratifying contrast to the quietness
that necessarily attends the winter. For.
warders are as busy as beavers, vessels are
arriving and departing in fleets which an
cient Tyre might envy, merchants are re-
ceiving and sending out cargoes of goods,
hotels are crowded with guests-indeed
everything around and about the "Cream
City" indicates most healthful state of
private finances and pnblic spirit.
Speaking of Hotels reminds one that the
NEwHALL is the Travellers home Of the
Northwest. Conveniently situated, large,
well furnished, we'll kept, both in table and
sleeping apartments, admirably officered,
there seems to be nothing wanting to render
the outer or the inner man as comfortable
AS human wants could expect. The prin-
cipal Clerk, Mr.. r. H. AUSTIN is a social
trump-attentive to guests as though they
were all valued personal friends and yet
carrying into his business none of that
annoying solicitudc which is so often seen
in proprietors and employees. Mr.. WnEE-
LOCK was formerly with Wells & Co, of
this place and is quite well known to
McGregor people; his connection with the
house has added materially and deservedly
to its business. Iowa travellers; should all
call there, the expense is just the same as
at the other houses and the accommoda-
tions are much better. As nearly every
one who stops in Milwaukee goes to the
Newhall during the day or evening to meet
an expected friend why not put up there at
once and be at head. quarters? r.

vJust before going to press last week,
we had a call from J. H. Whitman, of the
Detroit & Milwaukee Railway Company
who is on flying tour up the Mississippi
valley looking after the interests of the road
he represents. Mr.. w. unites in himself
in an unusual degree the attributes of the
business agent, and courteous gentleman,
so that wherever he goes the Railway he
represents will be sure to have friends.

Poetry.
wAYsIDE FLOWERS.

We have received Of Messrs. Noosan & Nc Nab,
Milwaukee, through the medium Of friend, volume
of"Waysiie Flowers consisting Of the poetical pro.
ductons of one Of western muses-"Carrie Carl.
ton" The lady who writes this nomme de plume
has seen much of sorrow, and has had the chords Of
her heart often wrung with aflction. Her poetry
therefore Is often tioged with hue Of sadnsss and
tender sentiments gem Of this character is the song
Of ''Litte Foy." Who that has been q bereaved "a.
rent v II not feel the beauty and pathos Of this:
Open wide the gol den portals,
Swag the peariy gates afar
Hail her coming with glad music,
Light up every twinkling star
Lo! she comes, returning homeward,
Cherubs, wave your wings for joy
Comes the little trusnt Angel,
.. Star-eyed White-robed, little Floy.
Downward en- . mission went she,
With her playmate, gentle SpriHg
Hand in hand they wandered earthward,
She with closely folded wing.
Earthly eyes with love were blinded,
Earthly hearts filled wit Joy,
And they never knew, an Angel
was the fairy, little Floy.
But the little feet grew weary,
Dropped their blossom day by day,
And with aching hearts they watched her,
Knowing we'll she could not stay.
We can pity earthly sorrow,
But with US there's naught but Joy.
Open wide the golden portals.
Welcome, welcome, little Floy."
In the line OF descriptive poetry there are several
pieces Of more than usual merit among which we eau
merate "Niagsra's Victim" aud the conductors
Story"
In . word these poems wayside flowers, beauti.
full in hue and growth, yet beret OF the charm Of
nice sett ng and careful cultivation which mark the
productions of better minds, blessed with better
advapt ages.

The MEMORY OF MoTHER.-When
temptation appears, and we are almost per-
suadcd to do wrong, how often mother
word Of warning will call to mind VOWS
that are rarely broken. Yes, the memory
of mother has saved many poor wretch,
from going astray. Tall grass may be
grown over the hallowed spot where all her
earthly remains repese the dying leaves OF
autumn may whirl over it, or the white
mantle Of winter may cover it from sight /;
yet the spirit of her, when he walks in the
right path, appears, and gently, softly,
mournfully calls him, when wandering off
into the ways of error"

Expose the Corruptionists.

expose the COfrupttOntsts.
The following sentiments are clipped
from the Chicago Journal. 1t is doubt.
less unnecessary for US to add that the Jour.
nal, and Inquirer, are each very promnen,
Republican newspapers:
1.-The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer says an effort will
soon bc made to have a Congressional inves
tigation of the recen, frauds at the Philadel.
phia Arsenal. The facts, as reported to the
War Department, are almost incredible
and calculated to bring disgrace on all en-.
gagged in the nefarious transactions. Humid
reds of thousands of dollars worth o
blankets, condemned as utterly unfit for
service, were never removed from the es.
tablshment, brt merely transferred from
one room to another, re-inspected and pass
ed. These blankets are hardly able to
bear their own weight, and it is by such
frauds that Our hospitals are filled with
thousands Of languishing and dying SOL
diers. As the facts are becoming known,
the greatest Indignation is expressed to-
wards the cormorants and plunderers and
their official allies W 10 are base enough, in
an hour like this, to furnish our brave sol.
diers with blankets that would be rejected
from well regulated stable as horse COW
crs."
1t is just such outrageous swindling MS
this. which provoked from Representative
Dawes, (Republican,) the remark that 1.-THE
treasury has been plundered Of more
money during one years administration of
the Republican party, than it had cost any
one year under any preceding Adninistra-
ton to carry on the government" One
thing is evident; the Republican party
must purge itself of all guilt in this matter
by bringing these swindlers to the tribunal
of the courts, and force them to disgorge
their thousands pocketed at the expense Of
the poor soldiers IN the camp and on the
battle field, or else the weight Of corrup.
ton will sink them out of sight in every
Congressional District in the North.
