THE RIVAL SOLDIERS.
ADUET.

lis a soldiers rigid duty
Orders strictly to obey;
Let not, then. the smile of beauty
Lure us from the camp away
In our country's cause united,
Calamity well brave the field
But, the victory won, delighted
Singly TO the fair we yield!
Soldiers who have ne'or retreated,
Beauty's tear will sure beguile
Hearts that armies ne'er defeated,
Love can conquer with smile.
Who would strive to live in story,
Did not woman's hand prepare
Amaranthine wreaths of glory
Which the valiant proudly wear ?

SPEAKING OUT PLAINLY.

Mr.. EDITOR :--Will you be kind enough to
make room for the following truthful article
from the Philadelphia Press, a genuine Dem
ocratic sheet. Similar arguments were used
in our own town, aud there are many who wi
doubtless recollect that the leaders Of the
Democratic party here declared that in the
event Of war Pennsylvania would be found
taking side with the "Southern chivalry."
Yours, &C., CLEARrIELp.

HERcULEAN LABoRs OF Our TRooPs.-A
correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal
writing from Jones' Island, near Fort Pulaski,
on the Both ult., says that at the closing up of
the water approaches to the fort and to Savan-
nah, was accomplished by the hercuean la
bors of our troops. No less than thirty thou
sand trees were felled and carried by the SOL
diers of the 48th New York regiment dis
tance of two miles to the river, and then tow
ed by night in scows, FIVE miles TO jones' Is
land where they were used for tramways over
which to wheel the heavy cannon, which would
otherwise have stuck in the mud.

Fathers, Brothers, and Friends
hear me for the cause of truth,
love and union. We have a beau
tiful country, productive of all that
comforts the. heart of man. Once
we could, with gratitude, enjoy our
accustomed refreshments, by drink
ing free tea and free coffee. That
liberty is gone from us. Once we
were free from a national debt
that blessing never will be ours
again. Honorable men have pro.
voked a civil war amongst fellow
citizens, unnatural in its character,
and brutal in its effects, Only q
few months ago it began the work
of destruction. Have any of you
counted the cost? If the war was
stopped to-day, and the heavenly
messenger ofpeacc shoNll proclaim
the glad tidings to all men, I am
sure you would shout with a joy
you never experienced before.
But what has been the loss thus
far? the enormous sum of a thou
sand million of dollars would not
repay it. The already immense
national debt is a loss to the peo-
pie that they must wipe out by
some means, or the interest there
on will be a calling yoke upon you
and your children forever. Large
amounts of national property have
been destroyed, corporations i'm
poverlshed, private dwellings burn
ed, farms made desolate, and con
lscations and retaliations have now
caused more anger and trouble than
a generation Of wise men could
settle satisfactorily. Honorable men
have brought all this evil upon
our country. But this is rot all.
Our Constitution has been violated,
men and women have been impris-
oned contrary to law, peace with
other nations has been interrupted,
and thousands upon thousands of
our countrymen, North and South,
have been slaughtered, and their
blood now cries to you from the
ground, and asks you, why do you
permit such Cain like butchery !?
Why do you take pleasure in our
death? Is it because you are wea-
ny Of freedom, and desire to wear
servile chains? Look upon the

Weekly Summary.

SO then, the Unitarian Miss
Harriet Martineau, of Lancashire,
(England,) is bleeding into gore,
because she breads that the whites
of America are not to be rendered
whole and entire sacrifice on the
altar of the devils Abolition
church. We hope the good woman
will soon be restored to a sound
state of mind, and good health.
In Congress, they are still more
earnest and laxative on the dear
dear negro question, and his eman-
cipation, than on the safety and
prosperity of the country.
Great things are still looked for,
not by an attack upon the Southern
army in their stronghold Oh Bowl
ing Green, but by drawing them
out from their strongholds into
such places as would enable us to
win Il great battle but will the
Confederate army come out? Not
a very likely thing. About five
hundred of our boys die every
week. There are about fifty thou
sand in hospital, or at home on the
sick list. We hold on, spending
plenty ofmoney, and military plum
derers arc as active as ever. We are
now scorned and despised by East
ern nations, and hating, robbing,
and c%orrupting ourselves at home.
One hundred million dollars of
new paper money have been order
ed into circulation by the Cabinet
What will it be worth? We expect
to hear soon, that blades Of timo-
thy, grains of wheat and Indian
corn, as well us all the leaves on
all the trees in Ohio, will be con-
verified into legal money! Why
