NATIONAL HYMN.
RAISE to His Right Hand that made us

PRAISE to His Right Hand that made US
Nation, soil aud emp re one;
And while that Right Hand shall aid us,
Spoil the hallowed work shall none.
God be nigh
Speed the cry
Union, Law, and Liberty
Heirs Of freedom could we covert
Give the way TO traitor rage?
Stand and sec a slave born power
Rcnd our glorious heritage?
This we've armed for - not defiant,
Not athirst for vcngeful strife
But on Duty's sword reliant
Strike we for the Nations Life.
Conflict dire--yet Heavens probation,
Bracing into one our might:
Strength is born of tribulation;
Right is sure to come out ri ght.
To the Lord of Hosts, Hosannah
Rebel madness, pray Him, cease
Make undimmed our star-lit Banner
Float again DER realms OF peace.
Praise Him, praise Him, ever giving
First or last, the Just award
Praise Him, praise Him, ever living
Our sole King and sovereign Lord.

WAS III A sURPRIsEs

Gen. Grant, as our readers are aware, has
written for publication q letter. wherein be says
of the battles on the Tennessee:
AS 70 the about being surprised nothing could be
more false the ereny h,d word where end when
they would attack could have been better prepared
We assure the General that whether he
was surprised or not. the public decidedly is.
Can he really mean that, if he had known that
his advance WAS 81 be attacked that fatal Sun
day morning. ne would have been himself so
far away as Savannah Can be mean that, If
be- had had notice of the time and manner OF
the Rebel attach, he would have had regi
lneut in hi, advance without cartridge among
them Can he mean that. had he anticipated
that attack, his advance division would have
been speedily cut to pieces and majority OF
IT,, with its commander, taken prisonersl Gen.
Grant has made a mistake in thus rushing into
print. He has already made such an official
report as he thought it, while the newspaper
report most promptly aud widely circulated
was written aud forwarded under ms Immediate
inspiration. He should have rested there, aud
let others manage biz defense.

among the nations. And in the light recently
thrown on it by the invasion-now reduced to
a solitary occupation by France, M. de saiIs-
ny's letter has all tho disagreeable features OF
part of conspiracy.
With that conspiracy we are disposed to con-
meet Sir Charles Wyke only so far as he really
appears open to suspicion. We notice specially
for instance, that in all this business he has
mads the advance movement. And from the
moment of bis arrival in the country as the
successor of Mr.. Mathew-evidently much
moro liberal, if not an abler man-Sir Charles
appears from all this official correspondence to
have made it his special duty to create in En-
gland the most unfavOrable Impressions OF the
.Juarez Government. So long ago as the 2'th
Of MAY last he assured Lord Russell that the
liberal Government of Mexico is animated by
q blind hatred "toward the Church party;"
and that its only thought has been to dissipate
"the immense property formerly belonging TO
the clergy" Again, in reference to most
lust and reasonable proposal to pledge certain
church property as guaranty for the payment
of foreign debts, Sir Charles writes to Lord Rus
sell that, Were the Church party to return to
power any such grant would be repudiated"-thus
doing his best to reprcss any reasonable as-
pirations which the Liberal party in Mexico
might have had to curb at once the preten.
sions of the Church reactionaries, and meet its
honest obligations. Throughout indeed, Sir
Charles Wyke, although less Extensively rude
than his diplomatic neigbbor in his communi-
cations with the Mexican Government, appears
10 haze been predisposed against the Liberals,
and we presume tnat the character OF his
labors is sufficiently appreciated ere this by the
Government he msrepresented 80 lar Us 10
bring it into one of the most disgraceful con-
spiracies Of modern tines By some fortunate
instinct, as much, we take it, as by admins
tratiye tact, our own Government has kept
its hands clear of the whole nquitous busl'
ness; and in Mr. Stewards latest circular 10

We see that he speaks with judicious hrinness
of the attempt to re-establsh monarchy on THIS
