OLD HUNDRED IN CAMP.

On Sunday evening, a few hours after sunset,
while we were sitting in our tent in company
with several other " specials" one of our num-
ber laying his hand upon our knee, suddenly
said to US, " llark, what is that" In q second
all had ceased talking, and every ear endeavor.
ed to catch the sound which had attracted the
attention of his comrade. There was a silence
for moment, and then there was waited across
the air the music of that glorious anthem g Old
Hundred" in which it seemed thousand voices
were participating.
All of US Immediately sought the open air,
and there stood until the last note died away
upon our ear. Never before have we heard
anything 50 magnifcently grand as the same
" Old Hundred " sung by the soldiers of the
Union army on the plains of Yorktown. The
air was made vocal with the music and the
woods around revcrberated with the mighty
strain. Beneath the canopy of heaven the sol
der gazed upward into the star-lit sky, and
sang unto God" from whom all blessings flow
an anthem that stirred in the heart OF man the
best and hottest emotions. The incident was
sublime one either for the poet or the artist.

WESTERN tickets BY the tax bill now be-
fore Congress, the Government is to derive a
yevenue from railroad travel. This tax, OF
course, is to be paid by the corporations Ii
amounts, as We understand, to one dollar and
seven cents on every ticket sold from Buffalo TO
Chicago and in the SAME proportion Tor longer
or shorter distances. The Lake Shore and
Miyhiran Southern Railroad, notwithstanding
this tariff keeps the through fare West down
to old rates, thus paying this tax to the Govern
ment wholly The travelling public cannot TAIL
to appreciate this, and Americans Will not
make the mistake of going West over the Cana
da roads, thus defrauding the Government OF its
revenue, without beneftng themselves. John
Bull, by his treatment Of this country during
the rebellion, is not particularly entitled to our
favorable regard, and we hope no loyal Amerl-
can traveller will put the money into the pockets
of English corporations which rightfully be-
longs to the Federal Treasury. Let Americans

Federal exchequer without depicting their own.

The rebels are certainly brilliant in one thing
they have set no barriers to their Imagination.
Their fancies stop at nothing. Theirpaper are
now discussing the strategy OF an attack on
New York and Philadelphia. They think their
great mistake Las been in allowing any Yankees
to come upon Southern soil. If they could
possess themselves of the chief cities of the
North they please themselves with fond antci-
patons of debating terms to the Government
and conquering peace Of their own liking.

erty in a wicked cause They arc neither the
one thing nor the other; neither bravely, I'M
selfishly rebellious, nor bravely aud unseitishly
loyal but hermaphrodite citizens, to whom 10y
atty and patriotism are unmeaning words but
" dead heads" who are willing to ride on the
government train that will carry them for noths
ing, but who have no preference for routes So
they but save their pockets and skins. We con-
TESS we have little sympathy for those who have
Joined the rebellion from such motives. Mercy
and lenlency are wasted upon them. They can
only be reached through fear of fines and penal
ties, and the exhibition of the power Of the GOV
eminent.
We want 10 see the Government adopt some
rigorous measures in treating these rebels Let
them not be coaxed, but driven back to their al
legance. Let them be taught that it is more,
infinitely more, dangerous to be traitor than to
remain, loyal under any and all circumstances
Lot them be made to understand that consistency
in patriotism, such constancy as that exhibited
by Parson Brownlow, is the golden virtue in
this Republic, the virtue that is TO be remem-
bered and rewarded, and to be set as Il light in
our history while the shifting, shuhling, tenn
porizing cold, heartless loyalty that shouts only
for the flag that for the moment is in the ascend
ant, is also to be set in history as warning for
the generations to come, that no citizen of this
Republic can ever with impunlty seek safety
Tor person OF property in allying himself with
the enemies of his country. In that way only
lies our safety for the future, our escape in the
present. Armies in the field cannot do the whole
work. The sword Of Justice, as we'll as the
arm OF Power must be made bare that, when
in years to come citizens are tempted to join the
forces that are arrayed against the Stars and
Stripes, they may be admonished, BY the rec.
ord of this rebellion, that treason is crime and
will bepunished
