WIG Would nOt be a SOLDIER

0OANAOA .
By J. J. MARVIN,
Some people praise the sailors lot, 1
To ride te stormy ocean;
Some choose the farmers peaceful cot,
To danger and commotion;
And some would seek the field of fame,
BY bar or pulpit prattle;
But I would have a deathless name,
Won on the Geld Of battle.
Who wouldn't be a soldier? a gay and hardy soldier ?
To risk his life on the field Of strife,
And die a gallant soldier.
The soldier lives on scanty fare,
To ease and wealth a stranger;
But light reward he hopes to share,
Exposed TO want and danger.
And yet his country nerves his arm
And heart with warm emotion;
He seeks not wealth, be fears not harm,
But serves her with devotion.
Who wouldn't be a soldier? a gay and hardy soldier ?
To risk his life on the heId Of strife,
And die a gallant soldier.

Take for instance the work which your correspondent
makes the tex. for his r cons-the First Year Of the
War, by Mr.. Pollard. How much good may this work
do-how much good may it already have Accomplished
in giving timely denial to the world Of the ISLANDERS and
lies Of the Yankees in publishing to Europe true ao-
counts Of military achievements, and In putting be-
fore the world in q convenient and permanent form Of
literature the vindicaon Of the and deeds OF our
people an not inclined to praise unduly this work
but an persuaded, Mr.. Editor tba. al works Of this
character are beneficial and interesting in promoting
more extensive Inquiries, in enghtenins the present
and especially in indicating las Mr. Pollard has certain
y doa) the principles Of grsa, contest to the contem
porary world. Because memoir fas below the dignity
of history aud cannot treat Of present and living
persoOs without falling into and possibly commit
ting Injustice it does follow that il ia without value
an that the author Is to be tomahswksd by critics.
may add that your bypocttcal correspondent In &C
cuang Mr. Pollards woik of Injustice, hiss been very IN
fortunate in the citation of the instance He refers 10
the destruction Of the Virginia hcrrimac and thinks
that the author unjust in declaring 1t to be stupid
and since court martial had decided other
sise in aequttipg Commodore TanAl This is childish
and unworthy of the evident intelligence of the writer.
II the finding Of court martial lie to be unimpeachaoe
evidence for the historian it follows that he can never
go behind any official record flor the finding Of court

ta, which acquitted Commodore Tstna, is higher au
thorty fir he historian than the court Of qliry which
condemned him. The two courts are distinct; there Is

ConscliPta

city contemporary, the Exansnsr, begins an Gracle
in ts iasus Of yesterday with the following:
II s not forced inference to suppose that the Goa
scripts recently brought Into the army are untqiai IN
spirit and zeal to the volunteers who enlisted from sense
Of patriotic duty. When forced into the ser
vice. thew are not apt TO exhibit those higher qualities
OF the soldier of which voluntary erlstmet affords some
indication and only lorg training Can ensure the con-
sespts are men possessing neither native enthusiasm Tor
the service, nor trained efficiency 10 t.
This Is q feature in armies, reorCanzed, which
il would be dangerous TO overlook or 10 disregard and
the fact suggests the necessity Of supplying In the con
script sems Of those artificial incentives 10 zeal and am
b tiou in the service which his reucance to enter 1t
pro, cd that he did hot possess.
Ia a late Mobile paper, the Register, we fnd XII
word for this class of troops which 1t will do no harm
to insert in connection with the foregoing:
There are mlny-who shall say not mi 'r proper
ton-among the conscrpts, whose hearts are as folly
in their country's cause and who would as feailsssy
battle for as any volunteer but who have not engage
in the simply for the reason that their prva'e obi
cations and the necessities Of their dependents rendered
l. absolutely impossible for them To do so without sac
does which they bad moral right 20 make, and Nlt
out reducing helpless persons lo king 10 them Tor sup
port 10 vant and q n ring fhsr consceDcSs would not
aoW them to abandon their individual obligations, and
hey felt that when their country imperiously required
their services il would call for them IN such man2er that
they would be obliged 70 go, and all the responsibility Of
Abandoning VITA made TIT fefl Il necessary TOT tnt
% sSy Al home until the last moment uoud rest upou

can make up their minds 10 bear cheeruly u eoged
90 We are reminded in this connection OF Scouts re
ference in "MnmoL" to the eudsl yeoman OF Scotland,
Who owed compulsory military service In bis de- crPuon
of the gathering Of the Scottish army before the battle
Of "Flodden:"
Sober he seemed, and Of good cheer,
As 10th TO leave bis cottage dear,
And march on foreign strand,
Or musipg Who would guide his steer,
To ill the iallos land;
Yet deem not in his Thoughtful eye
Dill aught OF bastard terror lie
More dreadful far his ire,

MoRGAN's LATE EXPEDITION.

A correspondent Of the Knoxville Register, writing
from Huntsville, Tennessee 18th instant gives the fol-
lowing ascount of Morgan's latest expedition:
We left Sparta last Saturday arrived at the Cumber.
land river Monday morning, where Col. Morgan learned
that Col Boone with four companies Of Ia, regiment
| (2Sth kentucky,) was encamped al Galatn. II was
al once decided TO attack them, and the column took
up the line of march, and arrived IN sight of Gaatn
Yesterday morning al daylight, without the enemy
pecting presence Learning that Col Boone, like
sensible man, preferred lodging at the hotel with his
wife, Capt. John Desha with detachment of % men
were ordered 10 inform him Of our approach, which
they succeeded in doing in the approved style
As as Col. Boone was made acquainted with the
condition OF affairs, he surrendered himself with his
command as prisoners of war There was no fight
not a gun was fired. Learning that a detachment OF
his force, with about one hundred negroes en-
gagged in building fort at the tunnel between Gallatin
aud Bowling Green, detachment of men, under Ma
Wash. Morgan, ordered there. They succeeded
ia routing the force capturing fifty prisoners, and
destroying both fort and unnelthe latter of the Ut
most importance 10 the enemy, 1t will require several
months to reopen IT, about $50 yards of russe work
also destroy ed near the tunnel Lieutenant Rogers
with detachment of 20 men were ordered to destroy
the bridge between Galatln and Nashville, which they
succeeded in doing
The train from Louisville arrived shortly after we
had taken possession of the town, and were agree
ably surprised receive from the enemy most desra-
bic present in the shape Of eighty fine horses, 800
sacks of and corr and $50 boxes Of crackers all
of which approprated-burning that which we
were unable 10 use. The locomotive, very fine one
aud about fifty cars, were also destroyed, leaving
space 20 miles between the two ends Of the road with
out engine. Thus we spent the day Morgan
men most delight 10 do-surprsing enemy before
breakfast 10 give them appetite, and then receiving
