Secretary Stanton on "Organizing
victory?"-He Slightly Rebuked

the T'r1bune'5 Flatuery?
10 the Editor Of the Nel0 York Tribune:
SIR: cannnot suffer undue merit to
be ascribed to my official action. The
glory of our recent victories belongs to
the gallant officers and soldiers that fought
the battles. No share of it belongs to
me.
Much has recently been said of mill
tary combinations and organizing victory.
l hear such phrases with apprehension.
They commenced in infdel France with
the Italian campaign, and resulted in
Waterloo. Who can organize victory
Who can combine the elements of success
in the battlefield? We owe our recent
victories to the spirit of the Lord, that
moved our soldiers to rush into battle,
and filled the hearts of our enemies with
terror and dismay. The inspiration that
conquered in battle was in the hearts OF
the soldiers and from on high; and when
evG there is the same inspiration there
will be the same results. Patriotic spirit,
with resolute courage in officers and men,
is q military combination that never fail
ed.
We may well rejoice at the recent vic
tories, for they teach US that battles are
to be won now and by US in the same and
only manner that they were ever won by
the people, or in any age, since the days
of Joshua, by boldly pursuing and strik-
ing the foe. What, under the blessings
of Providence, l conceive to be the organ
ization of victory and military combina-
tionto end this war, was declared in q few
words by Gen GRANTS message TO Gen.
BUckNER-"I propose 70 nloue Immediately on
vour uorkSl" Yours truly,
EDWIN N. STANTON.

Here is a ghost story, or adventure,
which recently occurred in Limerick, Ire
land:
"a woman not far from Emily, burned
her husband few months ago. y knock
came to the door some night last month.
She asked who was there. A hollow voice
answered. 'Iamyourhusband, whowas bur
led, and am very miserable in purgatory
till my debts are paid. Sell the two pigs
YOU have and be sure you have the money
for me on such a night when l call. The
poor woman did as he required, and felt
happy at being able to meet his request
whether through fear or love las he ap-
peared with his shroud and pale face. y
Between the first and second visit of the
ghost, the poor woman went and told her
story to the priest; he told her it was all
very good, but at the same time to have
two policemen in the house when she
would be giving the money. According
ly, after getting the money, the purgato-
rial and shrouded ghost came, and was
arrested by the police and lodged in Linn
erick jail, there TO undergo little more
purgatory till his trial comes on. This
ghost turned out to be a near neighbor,
who is godfather to one Of her children"

The Island is between Horn Island east
and Cat Island west twelve miles. Gov.
M'rea, in his annual message of the Island
and harbor, referring to the construction
of Railroad from New Orleans to the
main land: THAT the approach to our
gulf with all sea vessels, and especially of
large class ships, has advantages over that
either of New Orleans or Mobile, cannot
be questioned, and the entrance to the
harbor of Ship Island, and the safety Of
anchorage when within it, is equal to that
of any port in the United States for the
largest class of merchant vessels or ships
of war, at food tide, the average of which
on our coast does not exceed three feet
The entrance to the harbor affords a chan
mel one mile wide, with twenty-seven feet
of water, and Of three miles wide with
twenty-three feet of water The narbor,
when entered between the Island and
main land, affords twenty-seven to thirty
feet of water for three miles in width
north and south, and the same depth of
water from five to seven miles east and
west-the deepest water being nearest to
the Island, as it is in the entrance through
the channel. The main shore can be ap-
preached within four miles with twenty
feet of water, and within one mile with
about thirteen feet of water, from which
it gradually shadows of the beach; in
fact from the main shore to the deep wa
ter in the harbor, the descent is gradual,
over a smooth bottom"
At the western end Of the islaud is situ-
ated Fort Massachusetts,, formerly Fort
Twiggs, and Camp Constitution, under the
command of Brigadier General John w.
Phelps, being the advance of Gen. But
ler's Division, which is composed of both
heavy guns, placed in position since its
occupation by our flag. The fort on Ship
Island was where the gun thief Floyd in
tended those heavy guns he attempted to
get away from Pittsburgh, but was luckily
frustrated.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE
CHRONICLE.

Permit me. Gentlemen. to say
I'm truly thankful for the way
you've sent your paper,-tot the day
So many times:
And never asked for better pay
Than my poor rhymes.
There's been no want Of due respect;
Iheres been no Wilful, gross neglect;
Nor disposition to reject
The terms you bring:
But age. and care, the fight have eheckd
Of taney's wing.
I've often thought, that there, and then,
sketch some thoughts of times, or men,
Or other things that met my ken;
But when begun,
Some adverse influence stOp'd my pen
Before twas done.
But when last week, one eventide,
Returning from a weary ride.
Your new drest paper / espied,
made my bow.
We'll done old Chronicle" cried,
Your heads up now"
Then sat me down with earnest will,
A former promise to fulfill,
And tried my best poetic skill
To frame lay,
With what success-if well, or ill.,
Let others say.
Who would have thought, a year AGO,
Hapgood and Ritezel, would in Co.,
A loyal boat united row,
By the same chart?
Little we think, and less we know,
What's in the heart
God speed you in the righteous cause;
The Union, Consultation and Latrs
Maintain, defend, in ereTV clause.
On treason frOwn,
I'LL the last sword rebellion draws
Shall be put down.
May fortune on your path attend,
And new subscriptions daily send,
And each subscriber prove friend
Sincere and fervent.
My long epistle here l end:
Your humble servant.

THE SONGS OF TO-DAY.
BY rN1Lf J. ADAMS.


Nay, minstrel, cease. such songs as these
Fall Idly on the ear,
In hour like this, such May day chimes
We may not pause to hear.
Thou. in our time of peace, perehanee
A charmed ear had found,
But mid the battles din, in TRUTH
Ii hath a sickly sounds
For cen the lover waits to tune
His mellow flute no more,
But springs to meet the clarion call
That rings from shore to shore
And stilled are all those witching strains,
That maidens loved and sung:
Our nations thrilling anthems now,
Fall ott'nest from the tongue.
The banquet hall, half vacant grown,
The revel dies away;
And they learn duty well, who knew
But pleasure, yesterday.
And wealth and place are half forgot,
And party eolors fade,
As self Is on the altar Of
Our periled country laid.
Zen loveno longer doth withhold.
But hides her parting woe,
And breathing words Of earnest cheer
She bids her idols go.
Then. minstrels, cease, or tune thy harp
And raise 10 lOftier songs.
Such as befit the day 10 which
This hour Of ours belongs.
Such songs as make our love and faith
Grow stronger day by day,
As teach US best to wait, to WATCH
10 labor and to pray.

OUR LITTLE SUNBEAM.
BY NERcIA BoYNroN LANE.

BY MERcIA BoYNToN LANE.
Did you ever see a sunbeam
Creep into a dark ned room,
Lighting up the dreary aspect
And dispelling all the gloom,
Shining sesly ON the carpet.
Giving light so pure and clear .
That yOu thought some angel spirit
Coming unto earth, was near?
II you did, you know the pleasure
That our little sunbeam brought,
Filling every nook and corner
With the blossoms love hath wrought.
Bringing unto us gladness
That we never knew before,
Filling all our hearts with sunshine
That we knew not was in store.

Tnosc alone can only tell,

As we bless her night and day;
May she ever prove q solace
To her parents hearts alway.

They Reap As They Have sown.

DISPATCHES from the East leave scarce a
doubt but that Tennessee, the keystone of
Davis government, will soon withdraw her
opposition to the Federal Government. 1t is
stated that the General commanding the reb-
ell forces at Nashville, has offered to surren-
der that point TO the United States troops, on
the solitary condition that private property
should be respected. We are inclined to be-
lieve the truth of this report. In the first
place, the rebels are incapable, from the want
of sufficient force, and the utter demoraliza-
ton of their troops, of making any successful
defense of that city. Buell., from Bowling
Green, and Grant, from Forts Dont lson and
Henry, with reinforcements from st. Louis,
can invest Nashville, in three days, with an
army of one hundred and fifty thousand men.
At the outside, the rebels cannot bring forty
thousand to its defence. 1t cannot be rein
forced from any direction. Communication
with Alabama and Mississippi is cut of, and
from Georgia they can expect no relief what
ever, for obvious reasons. Again, the citi-
zens of Nashville would not. for scarcely any
reason. but specially for the whim of seces-
sion, permit, if they can help it, that place
to be bombarded. They are justly proud of
the adornments of that beautiful city. The
State House, which was ten years in building
now just completed, and which cost several
millions of dollars, is one of the finest, if not
the very finest, structure in the United
States. Wherefore the idea is plausible that
Gov. Harris has convened the Legislature,
and will recommend repeal of all their bo
gus ordinances and laws. The capture of
Nashville, with Prices fight from Missouri,
necessitates the immediate abandonment by
the rebels of all fortified points above Mem
phis. Landward from Memphis, there are
no Notifications. Holding Nashville, we can
attack them front and rear at the same time,
of course it is captured. The Mississippi
is then open, and the war is over.
In their crazy advocacy of Estates Rights, !"
myth which nobody ever did understand,
the Confederate Constitution stupidity pro-
vides that every State may draw out of that
very peculiar organization at any time it
wants to. Tennessee will shortly put in op
Grafton this clause of that document. She
can then estimate at her leisure the advan-
tagcs she has gained by secession. With
Tennessee out of the Confederacy," and
the Mississippi open to New Orleans, the
time will have arrived when the leaders in
this revolt will bestow greater attention than
heretofore, as to the best method of running
the blockade" The gibbet, or an ignomi
minious exile, awaits them all.

GREAT SroRM.-During the week we have
again been visited with a most destructive
storm of rain and snow. 1t commenced snow
ing on Friday of last week, and continued
through Saturday until it reached the depth
of sixteen inches. The greater partof Sunday,
all of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the
rain fell in torrents. The snow was quickly
washed of, and we look for greater food
han we have had before this season.
Several houses were pretty much ruined
by the snow. The roof of the Catholic
Church fell in; so did part of the roof Of
Desmond's hotel. As we write the rain is
falling in torrents. On Trinity Mountain the
snow was four or FIVE feet in depth. Sacra-
mento City will be inundated for the thi 8.
time this season, beyond doubt, in our
opinion.

SHASTA LIBRARY.-We have been request
ed to call the attention of the community to
the fact that there are u great many books
belonging to the Shasta Library Association
them are unregistered and the Librarian
does not know in whose hands they are,
while many tnat are registered have been
kept sufficiently long. 1t is earnestly hoped
that this matter will receive prompt attention.
The institution is valuable one, and all of
our citizens should deal fairly by it, and do
everything proper to keep it in its present
fourishing condition.
