LINES on THE DEATH OF CLARA
T. WuTTC0MR


Rest thee there, sweet little CLARA,
Rest thee in thy grave so low,
Thou wert called from Earth to Heaven,
Ere thy life had known a woe.
Thou art gone. sweet little CLARA,
But our hearts still mourn for thee
And thou canst no more caress US,
For thy guil!less spirits free.
Thou art gone, and We are mourning,
For we miss thy happy face;
And thy many childish prattles,
That made home happy place.
Dearest CLARA, couldst thou hear Us,
When with tears we gazed on thee,
AS thou laid routstre.ched before US,
Still and lifeless, frigid clay
Couldst thou heaI the words Of sorrow
Which escaped from every breast,
As NE gathered round thy coffin,
Gazing on thy silent rest
No, thou couldst not hear our mourning,
For thy soul bad taken flight;
But there still! is one hope cleaning.
That we'll meet beyond the sky.

Affecting Scene.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirc-, writing from Huntsville, Ala, on
the Goth, says:
A few days ago prisoner in the hands
of General1Mitchell, named Cobb, a rela-
tive Of Howell Cobb, died in the hospital
at this place. A Federal officer visited
the prison, as was his daily wont, and
learning the facts asked the other prison
ers if they would not like to attend the
funeral. The reply was, yes, but they
could not expect to have such boon ac-
corded them in their peculiar situation
The officer at once repaired to the head
quarters of General Mitchell, stated the
case, and received an order for their per
mission to accompany shc remains of their
conrade TO the last resting place He re
turned to the prison with the order, ex-
acted promise that they should Lot at
tempt to escape, and put the party in
charge of Father Tracey, the resident
Catholic pastor Of Huntsville The pros
cession wended its way to the cemetery,
when the ladies of the town strewed the
! coffin and the grave Of the Young soldier
with the rarcst flowers Of the garden, and
| evinced, in the most unmistakab,e manner,
their sympathy and their ardent love for
the cause of the South. The scene was at
once solemn, grand and affecting. There
lay the earthly remains OF the deyo'eL sol>
dier in their narrow house Of clav. and
| there assembled hundreds of the flirest
daughters Of Huntsville TO shed the part
ing tear over the corpse Of the hero OF
their cause, and garland the grave of the
young rebel with the choicest products Of
their sunny bowers There stood the min
lister of religion, chanting the office of his
Church for the repose of tie soul Of the
departed, surrounded by the witching
forms of angelic traitors, who male the
air fragrant with the olor Of their treason.
and commingling their anathemas of the
Union with the prayers of the priest
The ceremonies over, the prisoners return

passed series Of resolutions, thanking the
officers for their kindness, and Gen. Mitch

be far distant when the soldiers of the
South and the defenders of the Union cod
shake hands and fight by each others side

he received at Winchester, and over whose

The Assembly of the Bishops in Rome.

The meeting of the Bishops Of the Cath
olic world in the Eternal City for the pur-
pose of being present at the solemn cere
mony Of the canonization OF the japanese
martyrs, has attracted the attention, or
rather reused the jealous apprehensions Of
the French Emperor. The mere invita-
ton of his Holiness to the Catholic Pre-
ates of all nations to assist at this august
ceremony, drew forth species of prohibi
lion from the Imperial Government, which
was, however, subsequently so modified as
to become a mere Jrutum fulneen. The
Emperor acted prudently in thus neutrali
z;ng the first ukase of his Minister, and we
now learn that the Holy Father has sent
the Able Bonaparte as Commissioner to
Paris, and that amongst the other commis-
sions with which the Abbe has been in
trusted, he is to give every assurance to
the French Government with respect to
the meeting OF the Bishops at Rome
The selection of the Able by his Holiness
for this and other purposes as the especial
enunciator Of his views, sentiments and in
tentions, is extremely significant; and it is
conside Tered that the presence of General
Goyon in Paris at the same time is exceed
ingly opportune, and may have a very sal
utary effect in bringing about such an un-
derstanding between the Emperor and the
Holy Father as may lead to some solution
of the long pending Roman question -
The check given to the GaribaIdans, and
the attitude of Austria, with the unsettled
state Of Naples, all clearly show the neces
sity of bringing matters TO a peaceful and
satisfactory conclusion as soon as possible
Meanwhile, Rome, according to all &C
counts which reach rs, presents an aspect
of grandeur and solemnity truly beft,ing
the Capital of the Christian world. The
immense number of prelates and Church
dignitaries of every kind, the presence O.
the royal family of Naples. with the noble:
attached to them, the glorious weather
the festivals of the month and the season
all this bent with the knots of military
French, Roman, Belgian, with those of 9th
er nations, renders the scene one Of extra
ordinary, imposing and picturesque pomI
and grandeur. Vsst numbers Of stranger
from all parts OF tie world have been at
tracted to the spot to witness the speo,acl
thus preparing, while the revolutiouist
and their supporters are telling the worl,
that the Pope is on the eve Of abandorin,
his capital, and virtually resignirg to hi
enemies the triple tiara with which he ha

| the facts as briefly as possible.
Killer K. Jones, formerly resident OF
this State, now resident of Illinois, laid
before Governor Randall a proposition and
asked permission TO raise and organize a
Scandinavian regiment in this State. The
proposition was accepted, and the said
Jones commissioned as Lieutenant Colonel
with authority to enlist aud organize the
above mentioned regiment lie commen-
ced recruiting late in the season of 1861
and on the first day of March, 1862, had
| the best disciplined and best drilled regi-
ment that has left this State.
was Adjutant General up to the first
of January, and knos0 positively that the
success of the regiment was due entirely
to the energy and money of Lieutenant
| Colonel Jones.
Hans G. Heg, a Norwegian by birth,
was, by the special request of Colonei
Jones, commissioned as the Colonel of the
regiment. Colonel Heg, holding the of.
flee OF State Prison Commissioner, was
unable to give much attention to the mat
ter until late in the month of JANUARY
Consequently the entire labor of organic.
ing and disciplining the regiment devolved
upon Lieutenant Colonel Jones. The aplen
did appearance Of the regiment is sufic-
lent answer as to how he performed his
duties.
The only complaint Of any importance
against the Lieutenant Colonel is that he
was too arbitrary. This might appear so
to raw recruits, but it is not true in fact.
Colonel Jones was strict disciplinarian,
but | have never seen an officer more un>
tiring in watching the interests or in at
tending to the wants of his men. lie was
with them night and day, wet or cold
All this, and more, Colonel Jones will
be able to prove, provided he can be per
mitted TO do so.
In conclusion, permi. me to say that l
have no personal interest in this matter,
any farther than that dislike to see mer
itorious officer disposed Of in this summary
manner without an hours notice, or any
chance Of bearing-and | have no hesi.
fancy in saying that, in my opinion, his
removal was the result Of a conspiracy en-
tered into by designing and ambitious men
that ought not to be tolerated.

dent servant,

LEGISLATIVE ENDORSEMENT.

The undersigned, members ofthe Senate
and House Of Representatives of the State
Of Wisconsin,, now in session at Madison,
are knowing, many of us from personal
knowledge, of the facts set forth, and from
representations made to us from various
sources, and from the universal opinion Of
citizens who do know, and from the papers
in the hands of Lieutenant Colonel Jones,
and the admission of the present Governor
and the statements of ex Governor Ran
dali, who commissioned him.
That Lieutenant Colonel Killer K. Jones
was the means of starting the idea of
Scandinavian regiment, now the 18th Wis
consiD volunteers.
That he was duly commissioned Lieut.
enant Colonel of the same, and was regu-
larly mustered into the service of TIE Uni
ted States.
That Colonel Heg, being absent attend
ing to his duties as State Prison Commits
sioner, Lieutenant Colonel Jones was left
to organize, camp, drill, and discipline this
regiment.
All who have seen the regiment, speak
in praise of its discipline and drill, and say
that to Lieutenant Colonel Jones' indus.
try, energy, and capacity as an othcer, it
was mainly due, and to him is the State
indebted in great degree for this fine
regiment.
Lieutenant Colonel Jones has been dis
missed from the service without trial, or
any kind of hearing. We believe no man
should be condemned unheard A good
soldier should not be disgraced in this
way.
We ask that justice be doae in this
case, and that Lieutenant Colonel Jones
be restored to his rank and command, or
given such other military appointment as
his undoubted qualities as soldier and a
citizen, and his services enltle him 10.
We request that the delegation in Con
cress from Wisconsin, unite in request
to the War Department that justice, right
and fair play be given to Lieutenant Col.

That the organization, equi pment, and
drill of this regiment was left almos. eu>
tirely TO him. How well he did his work,
the discipline and dill of the regiment be
fore it left the State, and the praises the
regiment received from all who saw it,
| fully attest. 1t is the universal opinion
among all who know the facts-and there
are hundreds Of them in this city and
State-that Colonel Jones was the most
energetic, hard working officer ever in
Camp Randall. Strict in discipline, firm
in purpose, prompt in action, and impair
TALLY Just to all under his command.
How the soldiers under his command
loved him is clearly shown by the letters
addressed to him by them, now in Colonel
Jones possession.
AS an officer and a gentleman, no man
stands higher. Ourselves and the people
here universally esteem him as every inch
soldier and a gentleman.
Colonel Jones has been mustered out of
service without any notice or trial, with
out any charges preferred, aud treated
with great Injustice. He asks, and we
ask for him, that he have justice and fair
play.
From papers in Colonel Jones hands, it
is clearly shown that he was the means Of
putting a regiment Of troops in the field
from Illino;s-the 50th Illinois volunteers
thus adding two regiments to the SER
vice of his country.
A man that has done this, and spent
hundreds of dollars in doing it, and nine
months time, deserves honor at the hands
of his country, and not disgrace and injus
tive.
We therefore ask that Lieutenant Col,
one Jones be restored to his rank and
command or given some other appointment
commemorative with his military ability
and services.

insisted upon forcing their dogmas upon
