sad to have been perpetrated upon our wounded
soldiers by the rebels are greatly exaggerated or

Our march was turned in the direction of
MaTtinsburg--ho hoping there to meet with rein
lorcements-the troops moving in three parallel
columns, each protected by an efficient rear
guard. Pursuit by the enemy was prompt and
vigorous, but our movements were rapid and
without loss.
A few miles from Winchester the sound of the
steam whistle, heard in the direction of Martins
burg, strengthened the hope of reinforcements,
and stirred the blood of the men like IA trumpet.
Soon after, two squadrons of cavalry came dash
ing down the road, with wild huazas. They
were thought to be the advance of the anticipa-

Every man felt like turning back upon the enemy.

half hours-the rear guard remaining until seven

compliance with the Presidents order,
assumed the command of the Army

consultation. ! left Washington on
the oath and returned ON the 27th.
The main object of this consultation
was to ascertain if there was a possi-
bility of an advance upon Richmond
from Harrison's Landing, and, if not
to favor some plan Of uniting the ar
mics of Gen. Mcclellan and General
Pope on some other line. Not being
familiar with the position and numbers
OF the troops in Virginia and on the
coast, took the Presidents estimate
OF the largest numbers of reinforce
ments that could be sent to the Army
OF the Potomac. On the day of : my
arrival at Harrison's Landing, Genera
McC Clellan Yas of opinion that he would
require at least $4,000 additional

By the freside costly seated, ~
With spectacles riding her nose,
The lively old lady is knitting
Sc wonderful pair of hose. 5'-H
She pities the shivering soldier rsroes
Who is cut in the pelting storm, .-r
And busily plies her needles
To keep him hearty and warm.
Her eyes are reading the embers,
But her heart is off to the war,
For she knows what those brave fellows
Are gallantly fighting for.
Her fingers as well as her fancy
Are cheering them on their way, i3
Who, under the good old banner, C gla'
Are saving their country to-day. Trn-
She ponders how in her childhood
Her grandmother used to tell
The story of barefoot soldiers
Who fought so long and we'll
And the men of the Revolution
Are nearer to her than us,
And that. perhaps, is the reason
Why she is toiling thus.
She canaet shoulder a musket,
Nor ride with the cavalry crew,
But nevertheless she is ready
To work for the boys who do.
And yet in official dispatches
That come from the army or feet,
Her feats may have never a notice,
Though ever SO mighty the feet
So prithee, proud owner of muscle,
Or purse-proud owner of stocks,
Don't smear at the labors Of woman, re.
Or smile at her bundle of socks,
Her heart may be larger and Drawer
Than his who is tallest of all .-
The work of her hands as important
AS cash that buys powder and ball.
And thus while her quiet performance
Is being recorded in rhyme,
The tools in her tremulous fingers
Are running q race with Time.
Strange that four needles can form
A perfect triangular bound
And equally strange that their antics
Result in perfecting ''the round.'
Auu uOh NuiiC w hoito"t
She thinks of the Maryland mud.
And wonders if ever the stocking
Will wade to the ankle in blood!
And now she is shaping the heel"
And now she is ready "to bind"
And hopes if the soldier is wounded.
1t will never be from behind. 81
And now she is ''raising the iustep,"
Now narrowing off at the toe"
And prays that this end of the worsted
May ever be turned to the foe.
She gathers the last of the stitches,
. AS il a new laurel were won,
And placing the ball in the basket
Announces the stocking as done"
Ye men who are fighting our battles,
Away from the comforts of life,
Who thoughtfully muse, by your camp-fires,
On sweetheart. or sister, or wife.
Just think of their elders little. a.
And pray for their grandmothers, too.
Who, patiently sitting in corners,
Are knitting the stockings for you.

Weary.

Weary of watching and waiting, ac
Sick of these darksome hours,
Weary of constant gazing,
Down on my withered flowers;
Listening at early nightfall,
p. Watching the busy street,
Eager to greet the coming
Ever Of loved ones feet.
Weary,-my heart is aching
When will this midnight ceasei
Morn, in its joy be breaking,
Over day of peace?
Pressing my lonely pillow, .s
Tossing in fevered dreams,
Not oft amid the shadows,
The golden sunlight streams,
I'm weary, weary of waiting,
Still longer the moments seem,
And less are the tinted pictures
That dazzle each spectral dream.
Hope, in the night of waiting,
Scatters her mellow hight,
List to her angel whispers
All ihro' the dreary night;
Hope for the human spirit.
Hope in the widest storm.
Shedding her gracious presence
Can keep the bosom warm.
