The Soldiers Mother

There comes new light to her dimming eye
As she opens the fatal scroll
With dying hope whose wendrous charm
Holds her back from her nearing goal;
No fear for her darling who fresh from her arm
For his country his life-blood had shed;
But her thin lips part as the broken heart
Takes in the record" Dead p
Old friends and true bend kindly down,
And are murmuring soft and low;
But her dying glance is upon the line
That is sealing mothers wo;
And the whisper seems like the voice Of dreams
When nights first gloom is gone
"Fighting he fell, with his face to the foe,
Cheering his comrades on"
The paper falls from lifeless hand,
And she goes to her heroes side;
But smile is stamped on her rigid lip,
In the life of mothers pride
For there steals on the air, like a battle prayer,
To bless her souls new cawn-
Fighting he fell, with his face to the foe,
Cheering his comrades on.n

DYING RICH, WITH VENGEANcE.-It is rela-'
ted by passengers who escaped from the wreck of
the Golden Gate, that colored man named Pc
terson-one of the cooks belonging to the steam
er-took advantage of the panic to gather up
such loose change as the terror-stricken passen-
gers had abandoned n'the cabins and state-rooms.
He succeeded in picking up sufficient coin and VAL
uabes to fill two good sized carpet sacks. TAX
ing a large carving knife between his teeth, and
seizing the carpet Sacks one in each hand, Peter
son jumped overheard, and, in the language of
our informant, "he anchored himself alongside
the wreck and didn't show his nose above water"
1t is believed that he died quite well oA-in pc
cuniary point of views. f. CALL.

WOULDN'T RESPECT THE FLAG OF TRUcE.-A
correspondent, giving some incidents of the battle
of Port Republic, relates the following Of mem
Der of the Twenty-nnth Ohio, regiment that
was sadly cut up in that engagement: Henry
W. Morrill, at the battle of Port Republic, having
hole in his pants large enough to allow por-'
ton of his shirt to prorude took position as to-
give the enemy view, saying, DO you suppose
they will fire on a flag of trucep Just then the
enemy poured in a heavy volley, when he quickly
turned round, saying, By -, I guess they
will"

A MALE LADY GoDIyA.-The Chicago Times
relates a novel runaway thus:
Recently several persons indulging in lake bath
ing had lesson taught to them which it is pre-
sumed they will not soon forget. A number Of
horses came to the lake shore to quench their
thirst, when they we're caught by the bathers and
mounted The horses bore their treatment qui-
etly until one Of their number became frightened,
and, without waiting for the rider to dismount,
started on furious galop up the street. The
horse wouldn't STOP nor could the rider dismount,
so that the situation was becoming perplexing to
the surprised bather, who, Mazeppa like, was
compelled to continue his ride. How long that
ride lasted, or what became of the rider has not
been satisfactorily shown. 1t is certain, however,
that Just at dark on that day several citizens who
were enjoying with their families the evening twi'
light in front of their residences were astonished
by the unprecedented spectacle of horse running
furiously by ridden by rider in full undress uni
form. A few moments afterward another horse
dashed by whose rider was evidently in search Of
the first, for he bore under his arm a bundle Of
clothes

AN IMMENSE REsERvoIR.-The new grand res
ervoir in Central Park New York, is so nearly
completed that it is expected the water will be let
on soon, when the event will be appropriately Gel
ebrated. This reservoir has been in progress
since April, 1858, and comprises an area of LOG
and three-fourth acres. The water area estima-
ted at ninety-six acres. In capacity it probably
the largest reservoir in the world, although it is
equaled in area by reservoir in Europe. The ca
pacity is estimated az billion gallons. The en-
tire cost of the reservoir will be about S2 100000
including the gate-houses and the land. The lat
ter alone cost about S5OOOOO.

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS.

The new commercial treaty between the Uni
ted States and the Sultan of Turkey has been
negotiated, subject to the Senates consent with
Liberia and similar negotiation is now pending
with the Republic of Hayt. A considerable i'm
provement of the national commerce is expected
to result from these measures. Our relations
with Great Britain, France Spain, Portugal,
Russia, Prussia, Denmark, Sweden, Austria and
Netherlands, Italy, Rome, and the other Euro
pean States, remain undisturbed. Very favor
able relations also continue to be maintained with
Turkey, Morocco, China and Japan. During the
last year there has not only been no change of
our previous relations with the Independent
States of our continent, but more friendly rela-
tons than have heretofore existed are believed to
be entertained by these neghbors, whose safety
and progress are SO intimately commented with
our own. This statement especially applies to
Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Peru
and Chill. The Commission under the Conven-
ton with the Republic of New Granada closed
its sessions without having audited and passed
upon all the claims which were submitted to it ;
proposition is pending to revive the Convention,
so it may be able to do more complete Justice
The Commission between the United States and
the Republic of Costa Rica has completed its la
bors and submitted its report.

for County Meetings, to be held all over

anniversary of the adoption of the FEEDER
al Constitution-is one which will, doubt
less, meet with favor, and be cheerfully
responded to by all the friends of the Con.

ssy- TIE New CoMET.-The comet
Which is now attracting some attention
among astronomers, was discovered as car
ly as June 18th, and when first seen, the
eccentric motion was quite slow, it being at
greater distance than the sun, and NOV
ing in an orbit, making very large angle
with the elliptic. At that time it appear.
ed to astronomers as a nebule, considera.
bly, condensed at the centre, the light be-
ing intense enough to be easily seen when
the wire of the telescope micrometer were
Illuminated by artificial light. From this
fact astronomers conclude that the amount
of matter composing this body is consid-
cradle, exceeding the one discovered on
the 3D. of July in very large ratio, for
they estimate the intensity Of the light of
the second equal to that of the first on the
Sd, when it was distant only nine million
miles. On the evening ofthe 3lst of July
the embryo of tail was distinctly seen by
the aid Of the telescope ; and as early as
the 2sth the light was more concentrated
on the side, in the direction of its motion,
showing that the tail was already in the
process Of formation. On the 7th of Au.
gust the tail had increased in length and
brllancy, but, owing to the strong moon
light, it cannot be seen so readily at the
time. As it is now approaching both the
earth and the sun, and being so favorable
situated for observation, it will without
doubt, attain great brillancy. Judging
from the records of past comets and the
position of the present, it is thought it will
reach its maximum brillancy about the 2Gth
of August, when it will be only one-lourth
the distance it was on the 18th of july.
1t is now moving towards the north pole
of the hcav ems, and ON the 18th inst, will
be only 80 degrees from the pole being the
nearest approach, after which it will move
again towards the equator. Owing to its
close proximity to the pole, during the
uext two weeks it will be visible during the
whole night

A Glorious Spirit Aroused.

The patriotic impulse of the sovereign
people are now fully aroused, and but one
sentiment pervadcs the Northern heart-a
sentiment Of deep, determined resistance to
the infamous traitors in arms against the
Government. Immense bodies of troops
troops animated by the spirit of their fore
fathers--are pouring into camps, to receive
the weapons of war to be used against the
merciless wrotches who have dared to lift
their voices and their hands against the
best country and best Government ever
youchsafed to man. "Down with the trai.
tors" is now the watchwords Of the people
of the North. We have, thus far, been
too lenieDt with the enemies of our country;
and our loyal people are at length con-
vinced that it was mistaken policy, how
ever we'll intended, to deal tcndorly with
men whose sworn purpose it was and is to
destroy the country, the Constitution and
laws bequeathed us by our veteran fathers.
Forbearance, therefore, has ceased to be
virtue, and hcnceforth we must use Sc
verify when we contend with rebels.
Let all conditions Of men assist then to
"push on the column" and these who from
business or family relations or incapaclty,
cannot themselves join the army, should
freely contribute their means to the desti-
tute families of those who have gone
There should be no niggardly, Eaiserly men
these times, but all who can should give OF
their means freely to encourage enlistments
and then thank their God that they had it
in their power to give. Cost what it may
in life and treasure, this unhappy contest
must be put through to the bitter end
The Union must not be dissolved the
Constitution msSt not be Knocked at. Ii
in our efforts to restore the Union, we in
volve ourselves in bankruptcy and ruin, SO
be it. The war was commenced at the
South, and will be ended by the North,
be it soon or remote.
Enlist then, young men, now that your
country calls. Both humanity and econ
omy dictate the necessity Of strong mea-
sures and a strong army. A draft may
not become necessary if the whole people
put their shoulders to the wheel and as,
sist, by every means in their power, to
crush the traitors and rebellion. Colum-
bia county has thus far acted uobly, and
we have no doubt, that if our patriotic
people come up to the work mantully and
with alacrity, we will be able to send half
regiment to the field. So mote it be.

promotion of assistants who prove them
selves worthy.

SD-Greeley says that the fighting men
of his party, who have never smelt battle,
number 100000. More shame for them,
but the draft will operate on some of these
patriots. Instead Of staying at home and
making mischief by denounciug loyal DEM
ocrats as "secessionists," they will have to
face and fight the real secessionists--an
earnest work, and of a very different sort
from that they have been engaged in for
the last year or more.
