Ingenuity of Prisoners

Our Federal prisoners who have been re-
Gently released trom durance vile, were de-

Funds were sent to them by their friends,
but Confederate rascaity opened their letters
and appropriated the contents, This was
more than human nature could stand, and

the want.
This was effected by taking five cent

With true Yankee characteristic they seized

a LEGEND OF ST. CHRISTOPHER.
BY MISS MULOCH.


Garry me across ~
The Syrian heard, rose up and braced
Ills huge limbs to the accustomed toil!'
MY child, see how tn waters bail?
The night-black heavens look angry-faced;
But life is little loss.
"Ill carry thee with joy,
If needs be, safe as nesting dove
For DER this stream pilgrims bring
In service to one Christ, King
Whom | have never seen, yet love-
81 thank thee" said the boy.
Cheerful, Aprobus took
The burden on his shoulders great,
And stepped into the waves once more;
When, 10! they eaping rise and roar,
And meath the little childS light weight
The totterlng giant shook.
"Who art thou p cried he, wild
Struggling in middle of the ford;
Boy as thou loOkest, it seems to me
The whole worlds load bear in thee,
Yet" For the sake of Christ, thy Lord,
Garry me. y said the child.
No more Aprobus swerved,
But gained the furthest bank, and then
a voice cried: " Hence, Christopheros be !!
For carrying thou hast carried Me,
The King of angels and of men,
The Master thou hast served
And in the moonlight blue
The saint saw--not the wandering boy,
But him who walked upon the sea
And Ger the plains of Galliee.
Till, filled with mystic, awful joy,
His dear Lord Christ he knew.

The Campaign in Western Virginia.

= GENERAL ROsENCRANs TO HIS TROOPS
officers and Soldiers Of the Department o.
Western Virginia.
You have closed an arduous campaign
with honor to yourselves and satisfaction
to fine country. None but those who have
been with you, as have, can fully appre.
ciate your trials and privations.
Your triumph has been threefold--
your own inexperience, the obstacles OF ma
ture, and the rebel forces.
When our gallant young commander was
called from US, after the disaster at Bull
Run, this department was left with less
than fifteen thousand men to guard three
hundred miles OF railroad and three huudreS
miles of frontier, exposed to bushwhuckers
and the forces of Generals Floyd, Wise anG
Jackson. The northwestern pass into i,
was fortified and held, Cheat Mountain Sc
cured, the rebel assaults there victoriousy
repealed, and the Kanawha Valley occupied
A march of one hundred and twelve miles
over bad roads, brought you upon Floyd's
intrenched position, whence the rebels were
dislodged and chased to Sewell. Finally
your patience and watchngs put the traitor
Floyd within your reach, and though by q
precipitate retreat he escaped your grasp,
you have the substantial fruits of victory
Western Virginia belongs to herself and the
invader is expelled from her soil. In the
name OF our Commandment. Chief, and in
my own, thank you.
But the country will expect-your com
manding general expects-still more from
you. A campaign without defeat, with
out even check, must be eclipsed by deeds
of greater lustre. l
To this end l now call upon you for your
own future honor to devote yourselves with
energy and zeal to perfect yourselves in all
that pertains to drill, instruction and disci.
pline. Let every officer and every soldier
be emul0us to teach and learn the firings,
light infantry drill, guard duty, company
discipline and police.
Your commanding general proposes to
procure everything necessary to prepare you
tor your coming work, and will soon organ.
ize boards OF examiners, who will rid the
service of the disgrace, and soldiers of the
incubus, of incompetent and worthless off,
GERS, who hold the positions and receive the
pay without having the will or the ability
to perform the duties of their positions.
Remember you are fighting for your
country, for your flag, for your homes.
Your enemies are implacable in their
hatred of you; there is no measure of false
hood to which they have not resorted to
blacken your good name-and their leaders,
Beauregard and JEFF. Davis, have dared,
even in solemn proclamation, to calumniate
you, charging you with crimes you abhor-
from these men you have nothing to expect.
You must be prepared to teach them, not
only lessons OF magnanimity and forbear>
ance towards the unarmed and defenceless,
but to thrust their calumnies and their
boastings down their own traitorous threats.
Let not moment be lost in your prepar-
ations for the task before you.
w. S. ROSECRANS,
Brigadier General U. s. A.,
Commanding Department of Western Va.

(Supposed to be the captain of the Sumpter

his motive for touching the cutlass, his an
