Men of the Soulful our foes arc up
In fierce and grim array;
Their sable banner laps the air.
An insult to the day.
The saints of Cromwell rise again
In sanctmonious hordes,
Hiding behind the garb of peace
a million ruthless swords.
From North from East and West they seek
The same disastrous goal,
With Christ upon the lying lip,
And Satan in the soul.

ITO the saints of Heaven was Empire given
And zoe alone are Saints!"

the roar of the guns was so great that even
the heavy vsllume of musketry was drowned
in the noise. In reserve position, supported
by Gems. Morell and Sykes divisions, was a
force of artillery so planted as to rake the only
approach from the interior, and had the enemy
even driven our forces back that far, they
must have been annihilated by the terrible and
converging cross fire Of those seventy Parrots
and Napoleons.
The Gunboats.
When our advance reached James river,
early Monday morning, there was only the
gunbeat Arostook in the stresn. Those who
did not know the proximity of Commander
Rogers, with his feet, felt as though they
could expect little protection from the vessels
of war. But about 2 P. NJ the GalenR APP
peared, and at 4 o'clock both she and the
Arostook opened from their heavy guns, and
shelled the river road in 8 most effective man
ner. The gunners could not see the road, but
q signal officer, in an exposed position, on the
top of q house, situated on the top of a hill,
where thereserve artillery was stationed, sig
nailed the range of the guns very exactly, and
their shells were thrown with such precision
as to drive back body of the enemy, who
had moved down that road with a battery OF
artillery on our left flank.

Richard III.

English antiquaries are much exercised
over the identity of human skeleton just dis
covered at Leicester. It is asserted that the
remains are those of King Richard ILL., An
English paper says
at was over Bow Bridge at Leicester that
Richard III. with his army rode to the
neighborhood of Bosworth, and where striking
his spur against the parapet, tradition tells US
an aged woman cursed him, and told him that
when next he came that way his head should
strike where his heel had struck. Tradition
and history both relate that the remains of
Richard III. when taken up from their grave
in the Church of the Gray Friars, Leicester
were carried away by the multitude and
thrown over the Bow Bridge into the river.
This tradition, or fact, is still sufficiently
strong to cause an impression in some quarters
that the bones now discovered are those of she
unfortunate monarch, though there are reasons
why such fact is improbable. The skull or
bones bore not the slightest resemblance of
having been struck or fractured, whereas
Richards body was hacked to pieces Rich
ard died at the age of thirty-tve, and the
bones discovered are stated to be those of a
man apparently about thirty.
