TUE CUMBERLAND.


At anchor in Hampton Roads We lay,
On Board Of the Cumberland sloop.of-
war;
And at times from the fortress across the
bay
The alarum Of drums swept past,
Or bugle-blast
From the camp on the shore.
Then far sway 20 the south uprose
A little feather of snow.white smoke,
And we knew that the iron ship Of our
foes
Was steadily steering It's course
To trv the force
OF our ribs Of oak.
Down upon va heavily runs,
Silent anC sullen, the hoating fort,
Then comes puff Of smoke from her
gnns,
And leaps the terrible death.
With hrery breath,
From each open port.
We are not idle but send her strait
Defiance back in full broadside.
As hail rebounds from a roof Of slate.
Rebounds our heavier hail
From each iron scale
! Of the monstsr's hide.
Strike your aagi" the rebel cries.
In his arrogant old plantation strain.
"Never" our gallant Morris replies;
alt is better to sink than to yield"
And the whole air pealed
With the cheers Of our men.
Then, like kraten huge and black,
She crushed our ribs in her iron grasp!
Down went the Cumberland all wrask,
With sudden shudder of death.
And the cannon's breath
/ For her dying gasp.
Next morn, rs the sun rose over the bay
Still Hoated our flag at the mainmast
head.
Lord. how butifal was thy day.
Every watt of the air
Was whisper OF prayer,
Or dirgs tor the dead.
Ho brave hearts that went down in III,
seas.
Ye are at peace in the troubled stream
IiO. brave land! with hearts like these,
Thy flag. that is reut in twain,
Shall be one again.
And without seam.

@ Many persons, and our.
self among the number, have
been disappointed in the New
Rochelle or Lawton Blackberry.
The following from the lllustra-
ted Annual Register of 2uraI
Affairs may enlighten some oI
US on the subject:
"To have this berry in perfec-
ton, it must be lett on the bush
I'LL it is fully rounded, intensely
black, and drops from the stalk
by a touch; it will then be sweet
and juicy. Ii taken earlier,
even when black, the berries will
be hard and sour. The Home
stead says, that unlike common
blackberrles, which are red when
they are green, these continue
green alter they become black!

Almost a Prophecy.

We copy from the Augusta Age the fol-
lowing extract of letter from an officer
in the army to his uncle in Maine. It
seems almost prophetic, in view of the aw-
sui disaster that has since overtaken us:
NEAR WARRENToN, Va, Nov 13.-My
Dear Uncle We are encamped four miles
this side of Warrenton. Have been here
two or three days. Don't know how soon
we shall make an advance again, but prob
ably before great while. 1t is of but lit
tie consequence to the army now whether
it moves or not. cannot begin to describe
to you the feeling of indignation that ex-
lists in the old Army of the Potomac Of
course you know it all long before this
time. They have taken our General from
us, and Uncle, mark my words, it will be
a greater calamity to the government and
the army than a dozen Bull Run defeats.
Burnside is a good general, but an angel
from Heaven could never satisfy McOlel-
lan's army You have often heard me
speak Of our commanding General, and it
was always with a feeling of pride, for he
was not only beloved by bis army, but was
idolized. Many sunburnt and rough
cheek was made wet with tears when his
farewell address was read Until now,
f. have 50 never had any doubt as to
the final result of this conflict, but now
have my fears. The very name of Nc
Clellan was the signal of victory; butthey
have taken him away-taken him just as
we were about to engage the enemy and
where he would win new and greater lau-
rels. Don't think for moment that /
blame the President, or that any of us do.
We all know and understand the outside
pressure and force he has to contend with
The greatest wonder is that he has con-
tended against it so long as he has It is
generally understood that he has been COM
PEELED to dotit. One thing is certain, Gen.
Mcclellan has the hearts of those who con-
stitute the Army Of the Potomac, and they
will signify their alteration of him when
the proper time arrives. We are all bound
now, seemingly, with iron shackles, any
cannot speak for ourselves, but the dad
will come when the army can and will
speak. 1t seems to me just as though we
had no government, and speak the truth
when l tell you that more than half the
army do not care how soon this trouble is
settled, nor care what the terms are so
long as it is settled. Dollars and cents,
together with those accused political as
pirants, are controlling It cannot be de-
MED It's too plain to be denied, and we
all see it! do not go so far as some, for
the emergency is great and 1 shall stick
to my colors and try and help settle this
trouble right if we can. When 1 think
how matters are controlled, it makes me
mad enough. In the name of God, look
at it in its true light.
You needn't think l am writing in pas

Special Cores of the Chicago Times.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-I have made
some inquiries of the officers and soldiers
who have arrived here (sick and wounded)
from Burnside's army, in regard to the
sufferings of the troops from the cold and
from want, with the following results
The testimony of officers and men concurs
in the feet that quite large number of
men have been literally frozen to death in
the nights, the number stated varying from
ten to twenty. The cause of this is insult
ficient shelter, and want of blankets and
good shoes. Comparatively very few of
the troops have been able to build huts,
and there are many regiments still desti-
tute of proper shoes and blankets. The
fact that the troops have not been paid for
the last four, five, and six months, also
adds greatly to their discomfort. Although
the government has solemnly promised to
provide them with everything necessary
for their food, yet it has failedto do so.
If the soldiers had money, they would buy
this food for themselves. But they have
no money, and consequently are driven
either to steal and plumber, or else to 60
hungry more than halfthe time. The case
is quite as bad with the officers. Their
pay has been withheld for the same length
Of time; and as they are dependent entire
ly upon their pay for their subsistence (not
being furnished with rationsl like the men),
their condition can be better imagined
than described 1t is the existence of this
state of things that has caused General
Sumner to issue an order compelling Com
missaries of Subsistence to sell articles to
his officers on credit.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
Capt. Fisk's Overland Expedition.

2 We have received copy Of the Evening
Commercial, published at Portland, Ore
gon, Of the 18th Of November, and copy
therefrom the following article on Capt.
FisK's expedition: go WI,
Last evening we had the pleasure of
meeting Capt. ]. L. Fisk, Of Minnesota,
who furnished us with few items pertain
ing to his journey upon the Northern over
land route, from st. Paul to Fort Benton.
His company, fifty in number, started from
Fort Abercrombie on the It'll Of July, and
arrived at Fort Benton on the 9th of Sep
TENDER. From the description the Captain
gives of this route, it is far superior in every
particular to the Southern route, up the
Platte and down the Snake River. They
found an abundance of grass and water at
camping glaces each night, and the furthest
drive without water is a distance of only
twenty miles. On this route there are but
few streams to cross, and only three bridges
were constructed over streams that were
not fordable. Game is plenty on this route,
and the number of butfaloes seen is esti-
mated at millions. This expedition, which
was projected and conducted as an expert
ment, has clearly demonstrated the feast
bility of this route, and highly recommends
it to future emigration. If this road is thor
oughly opened, it will be the road princi-
pally travelled, and a direct communication
can be made from st. Paul via Fort Ben
ton to Portland.
The local column of the same paper has
the following notice of other gentlemen of
the expedition:
Several gentlemen of St. Paul, Minneso-
ia, take the steamer Sierra Nevada, to-day,
for San Francisco, to return home by wa
ter, having uade the overland trip from
St. Paul to Fort Abercrombie, thence to
Fort Benton, Walla Walla, and thence to
Portland. Among them are DIR. Dibb,
s. r. Bond, lawyer and lecturer of dis
tinction in Minnesota, and E. f. Burritt,
formerly Clerk of the Supreme Court of
the same State.
