ple and the minute workings Of tho road.
As the train passed them, the conductor
made the same inquiry and received the
Ssme answer taking powder to General
Beauregard's army. As soon as the
kain passed and the switch could be
changed, they shot away with all their
speed and mystery.
We learn that train has been sent

IlM ooMINe HONE no DIE. MOTHER.

Unweleome winds are singing,
Within the distant West,
And wrapt In pain I'm lying
With vision broken rest
/ of:cn dream thy bosom
Is pillowing my head,
And wake to find illusion
Has gathered round my bed;
But starting from my dreaming,
Ichock the rising sigh,
For I'm coming home to die, Mother,
Coming home to die
Ilong to see thee, Mother
Andkiss thy dear old cheek.
! feel there is no other
With whom l wish to speak;
No heart has half such kindness;
No voice such music flow;
Why did in my blindness
Cause you a moments wooi
know you've moprRed full often,
But wipe the ghstanin6 eye.
For I'mc coming home to die, Mother,
Coming home to dio.
Tell Father that wish him
To marx that spot for me,
Where Looloo used 10 kiss him,
And sing the forest gloe;
'Tis vhege the wild roses
Perfumed the summer air.
And when the life.scene closes,
Lay rowing Alland there;
phiet the spot be lonely,
And hid from possers by,
For I'm coming home to die, Mother.
Coming home To die
My memory is clinging
To childhood's sunny hours,
And Looloo's voice seems ringing
Amidst the garden flowers;
The moments seem to lengthen
AS starting time draws near.
And hope begins to strengthen
With thought of leaving here
60 let the hcartibe glallen'd
ourncetins hour is nigh,
For I'm coming home to die. Mother,
Coming home to die,

zone Of our morning contemporaries
which adopts Wendell Phillips speeches as
editorials, this morning has an attack upon
President Lincoln. 1t declares him 'short-

will not do Greeley's bidding, and instant

How The N. Y. TRIBUNE AIDED SEcEs
sIoN.-A letter from New Orleans says that
when the rebel emissaries from Charleston
addressed public meeting in New Orleans
before Louisiana had passed the act Of Sc
cession, the Union feeling was so strong at
the meeting at first that the South Carolina
delegation made little or no impression, and
inspired no enthusiasm for their treasona-
bic schemes, until one Of them brought out
copies of the New York Tribune and quot
ed largely therefrom. From this moment,
the spirit of the Union men sunk because
it was evident the leverage was against
them, and the tide Of secession and disu.
nion, stimulated by Tribune editorials,
would soon run too strong for them.' And
so it proved.
