PRESS ON.
by FINLEY JOHNSON.

Press on, press on, if yc would wish
To gain deathless name;
If ye would crave to be enrol'd
Upon the scroll of fame
IF We would wish TO be remember
Ye must not dormant be;
Your watchword it should be this,
"Prcss on to victory"
If We would wish triumphantly
To ride in glory's car;
To have your name proclalm'd throughout
The world both near and far;
Why then press on, and soon you II reacf
The much desired goal;
"Press on, press on" must be the cry
OF the unwearied soul.
Ye cannot triumph Ger lifs's ills,
Or master all your foes;
If now your hearts arc wrappd WITHIN
Their calm and deep repose;
No, no ye must arise from sleep,
Which oft us all assail !;
And then will faith and energy
Der foes and all prevail.

The President among the Rebel
Wounded.

a letter to the \ Y. Commercial,
speaking of the Presidents visit to Gen.
McCiellnn's army, says;
The Presidents visit was fraught with
many interesting Incidents / fter leav-
ing Gen. Richardson's headquarters, the
President and party proceeded to barn,
which was used as a temporary hospital
for rebel wounded On entering, the sad
scenes that follow battle met the eye.
Mr. Lincoln, after looking around, re-
they had no objection he would be pleased
to take them by the hand. The solemn
obligations, said he, which we owe to
our country and posterity compel the
prosecution Of this war; and it follows
that many on both sides must become
victims, and although they are our enc
mics through uncomfortable circum-
stances, he bore them no malice, and
could take them by the hand with as
much sympathy and good feeling As if
they were brothers. After a short 81
lenoe. those Of the rebels that could
walk came forward, and each of them
silently shook hands with the President.
Mr.. Lincoln and Gen Mcclellan went
to the bedsiIes of those who were unable
to rise and cheored them, saying that
every care should be bestowed upon them
to amelorate their sufferings. 1t was q
touching scene, and there was not dry
eye among the wounded.

NEAR AT HAND.


The time must soon arrive for us to
know neither the present war is to
be one of several years duration, or
of short space, and that speedily
We think that in the course OF a few
weeks. the people of the Confedera-
CIV, will be apt to learn the probable
duration of the conflict between the
North and the South. If as many
predict, it is to be an cxterininating
warfare of many years, every person
would like to know it, for each indi-
vidual must then make no further cal
culations, as to what he is going to Go
but conclude to go and fight.
A few months back, We looked up
on the present struggle as strife,
which would not end for Il considera-
Bile length of time. but now, however
we incline 20 the belief, that the cur
rent is changing fast, i'll Our favor,
