part in the terrible Seven Days struggle
on the peninsula before Richmond On
the 9th June-the day on which the
company suffered most seperely-he was
wounded in the leg by musket-ball He
necessarily had to be LETT on the field,
when he fell into the hands of the Rebels.
The proper attention probably not being
paid his wound by his captors, amputation
was rendered necessary. This operation
was performed but, alas . in vain. On
the I'd July he breathed his last, aud was
buried $50 we are informed) by some cap
tared comrades at Gaines Hill, in the
vicinity Of the battle field.
Thus fought and iell-nobly, glorious

Duty Of the Hour.

Among the last glorious sentiments
delivered by the patriotic STEPHEN a.
DOUGLAS was this: "The conspiracy to
break up the Union is fact now known
to all Armies are being raised, and war
levied to accomplish it. There can be
but two sides to the controversy. Every
man must be on the side of the United
States or against it. There can be no
neutrals in this war. There can be none
but Patriots and Traitors This makes
up the issue clearly, distinctly, and forci
bly,. Indifference is treason, and no loyal
man can hold back when the bugle calls
to arms and the drum invites to enlist
ment in the ranks of the Uniou's defend
ers.
From all quarters comes up the cry for
decided policy, and for vigorous pros
ecution of the war Evidently an indom-
liable spirit pervades the people; but
while we say this, we also say that We
should not degrade that spirit into mere
revenge Those who mistake blind fury
for strength err grievously Calmncss is
the attribute of strength and magnanmi-
ty Of great cause. Let not the Union
army degrade itself to the low level Of the
standard of morality and civilization
established by the accursed secessionists
who began this wicked and internal war.
Certainly we must prosecute this war
vigorously, but to do SO we must prosecute
it not in spirit Of diabolical vengance.
While Mr.. LINCOLN rides the whirlwind
and guides the storm, be is himself calm
and sclfposscssed. In the midst of the
universal emotion he manifests the torti
tude and repose of Roman Of Rome's
heroic age. No cauistry bewilders him
into error; no solicitation sways him
against his convictions no dread OF pop
ular clamor, or party enrnity intimidates
him. The guardian of the national hon
or and the Constitution, he is equal TO the
exalted position which he fills. The Wig
orous prosecution Of the war means with
him, not a remorseless revolutionary cru
sade, but the invocation of the vaior, the
genius, and the resources of the country in
behalf of his country's cause. 4 brighter
renown for the Republic and the addition
of one immortal name at least TO its his
tory will be the legacy of his term of Office
to posterity.
Men and means are the sinews OF war
the young and active can furnish the
former, aud the aged and infrm the latter.
Every citizen should have representative
in the army those who cannot go in
person should provide for the families of
others who are anxious to enlist but are
deferred by domestic considerations. The
necessity is urgent. and we trust that
every man VIII strive to quicken the en-
thusiasm of his neighbor, and impress
them with 4 proper sense Of their duties.
There should be a great loyal uprising
throughout Pennsylvania every hamlet,
village, town, aud city in the State should
be emulous to send its quota of recruits,
and more than its proportion if possible.
Patriotic enthusiasm should become con
tagious and iniuse itself into the luke
warm. pennsyl ylvania has on every proper
occasion renewed her discrimination to
sustain the Union her sons have sancti-
fec the holy cause by lbatiops ofthcir blood

ram. or iron-c,ad Merrimac No. 2, is now
finished at Richmond When ironed and
her machinery put u, her guards will
probably not be over one foot above the
water. Being much smaller, she will be
far more manageable than the Other Mer-
rimac The ram is well beaked, reaching
about four feet above the deck, and extern
ding out SIX or eight feet. She will carry
one bow, one stern, and three side guns
Her crew is to consist Of the old crew of

from the Council proceedings, that that highly
intellectual body threw itself back on its dignity

he was absent at the time the vote was taken in

by nobody else He must blame that person il

and we will endeayor to keep his record as he
made it. if the Clerk don't.
The Council are determined to keep the repre-
