Our Western Dead.

In a remarkable degree have we of the
East been spared the terrible realization
OF tie the horrors of war. What spActa.
cles OF misery may lie behind the curtain
Of the uturs, into what ghastly cham
bers of death red handed war may lead
US, into what charnel.houses of hideous
desolation we may be compelled to look,
God only knows. But thus far no rehu
enI tide of blood has flown in upon us
from CORY battle fields compared to awful
slaughter that has desolated the hearth
stones Of our countrymen of the West.
As they have worn the glories Of the
conquest in a great degree. SO too have
they worn the cypress in commemol alton
OF the sacrifice at which those honors
were gained. Mill Spring, DonelsOn. Pea
Ridge, Pitlsburg Landing, with their at
tendant triumphs, are the scenes Of Wcs'
tern bravery. the sepulchres Of Western

and the Tennessee, on the bleak noun.

The graves Of unknown heroes, fighting
as they fell, many without the kind and
solemn ceremonies Of sepulture, most oI
them rewarded only for their uniimely
dralhs by the tears of small circle o
friends and relatives. Our Western arm

of the hardy, vigorous and virtuous popu

10 day, on the prairie, in the forests, il
the mansions of the metropolis,in in the hu
of the pioneer settlements, are mourning
for husband. father, son or broth

inroads upon tie families Of the Wes
which these successive conflicts Their
have made. We owe them debt o
gratitude for their bravery and indomita
BILE devotion; and while we sing p@ns t
the victors, let us not forget to drop
teal for those glorious youths. who witt
the dew of manhood yet upon their brow
took their lives 10 their hands, aud ven
