AnnRbel Lee.
by POE.

1t was many and many.a year ago,
In kingdom by the Sea
That maiden lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabe Lee
And this maiden she lived in no other thought
Than to love and be loved of ne.
was a child, and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea
But we loved with love that was more than love
/ and my Annabel Lee
With love that the winged sernphs above
Coveted her and me-
And this was the reason that long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea-
A wind blew out of cloud; chilling
And killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love was stronger far, than the love
OF those who were older than we,
OF many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in Heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
0rthe'beautful Annabel Lee.
Now the moon never beams, without bringing
me dreams,
OF the beautiful Annhel lee eye!
And the stars never rise. but | see the bright
Of the beautiful Annibel Lee
And so all the night tide l lie down by the side
Ofmy darliDg-my darling-my life my bride
In the sepuchre by the sea-
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Gone TO the war.

My Charles has gone to the war,
My Charlie so brave and tall
He left his plow in the rurrow,
And few at bis countrys call
May God in safety keep him,
My precious boy-my all.
My heart is pining to see him,
miss him every day;
My heart is weary with waiting,
And sick of the long delay,
But [ know his country needs him,
And could not bid him stay.
remember how his face flushed
And how his color came,
When the fash Of the guns of Sumter
Lit the whole land with flame,
And darkened his country's banner,
With the crimson hue Of shame.
"Mother," he said, then faltered-
l feel his mute appeal
paused--if you are mothe.
Yon know what mothers feel,
When called to yield their dear ones;
To the cruel bullet and steel.
My heart stood ct i'll for moment,
Struck with a mighty woe
A faint of death came DER nc
/ am a mother, you know
But sternly checked my weakness,
And firmy bade him Go"
Wherever the fighting is fercest
/ know that my boy will be
Wherever the need will be sorest
OF the stout arms of the free
May he prove as true to his country
AS he has been true to mel
Ny home is lonely without him,
My heart bereft of joy
The thought Of him who has left me
My constant sad employ;
Bot God has been good to the mother,
She shall not blush for her boy.

IGNORED The n. Y Com. Advertiser
calls attention to the somewhat remarkable
fact that 10 his recent message to congress
announcing great victory at Pittsburg
Landing, JEFF Davis attributes no praise at
all to Bcauregard, but gives all the credit
to johnson. He speaks Of the death of the
latter as an irreparable loss. johnson he
saws, was commander in-chief of the troops
on that occasion, and to his gallant efforts
the victory was attributable. Beauregard's
name was never directly mentioned aud it
appears only indirectly in an extract from
Colonel Preston's dispatch, which states
that Johnson's body was entrusted to that
officer by Gen. Beauregard> Otherwise the
latter is as utterly Ignored as il he had not
been near the battlefield on that occasion.

The PIttsburg Landing Battle-Treatment
of the Dead and Wounded,

There are some shocking incidents rela.
tive to the wounded. The rebels, it will
be remembered, took possession of portion
of the Federal Camp on Sunday actually
sleeping, on Sunday night, in tho tents of
several of our regiments Most Of our
wounded who fell outside of the line occu.
pied by them on Sunday night, fell into
their hands. They allowed the helpless to
lie therc-not even allowing the National
surgeons taken prisoners TO attend to them
Our poor fellows lay there until the ground
was retaken on Monday. Some inhuman
barbarities were also practiced upon the
dead, some of whom were stripped, and in
one instance, at least, the body was mutt
lated in the most vulgar and blackguard
style Many we're found on which the huge
Mississippi bowie knives had been used af-
ter death. Many of the wounded Seces-
sionists died before they were found after
the battle. One party of some forty men
were found in ravine, where they had
crawled to obtain water, aud some died
with their heads in the brooks. Another
party was found close to the CorinIh road,
partially consumed by 6re. II seem that
they had been place, probably for shelter,
in pit of brush, and then deserted Oar
shells set fire to the brush heap, aud two
DAYS after the battle their crisped bodies
were found.
