Frederick, and have retained, have infested
their different ncighborhoods with kind OF

vent the disease from spreading.

noon until near night, waiting conveyance

that no she rebels should be permitted to

wounded. 4 correspondent complains that
these men arc now lying, without blanket or
covering of any description. upon the bare
boards Of their barracks, contracting diseases
that will not only unfit them for military SER
vice, but for any usefulness hereafter. They
represent nearly every loyal State in the
Union. The wounded and sick have been
placed in hospital, and arc receiving every
care that, under the circumstances, could be
bestowed on them.
The ladies of Delaware City and vicinity
have been unremitting in their kindness but
those OF the paroled prisoners not so sick as
to require hospital treatment, and yet weak
from long confinement and poor diet, require
attention. They have no money to buy what
to them would be Injuries, not having re-

October strews the woodland DER
With many brilliant color;
The world is brighter than beforc---
Why should our hearts be duller2
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather;
All me! this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season; this
The time when friends are flying,
And lovers now, with many kiss
Their long farewell are signing.
Why is the earth SO gaily drest?
This pomp that autumn bcarcth,
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment wcarcth.
Each one of us, perchancc, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But now with boyish laughter,
We shall then be wrinklcd men,
Our brows with silver laden:
But thou this glen may st seek again,
But never more a maiden!
Nature, pelhlps, loresoes that spring
VIII touch her tccming bosom,
And that few months may bring
The bee, the bird, the blossom.
All! these forests 30 not know
Or would less brightly wither-
The virgin that adorns them so,
VIII never more come hither.
The weather is now warm, and VIC have
eautiful moonlight nights; but few day,
nay change the whole scene, and give II;
