Under the ice our spirits lie.
The genial glow of the Summers sun
Shall loosen their letters by -and-by.
Moan and groan in thy prison cold,
River of life-rver # love
The Winter is growing worn and old,
The frost is leaving the melting mold,
And the sun shines bright above.
Under the ice, under the snow,
Our lives are b ,unl in 4 crystal ring.
BY -and by will the South winds blow,
And roses bloom on the banks of Spring
Moan Il nd groan in thy letters strong,
River CT life-rver of love.
The nights grow short, the days grow long,
Weaker and weaker the bonds of wrong,
AID the sun shines bright above
Under the ice our souls are hid,
Cnder the ice our good deeds grow
Men but credit the wrong we did,
Never the motives that lay below.
Moan and groan in thy prison cold,
River Of life--rivcr of love.
The winter Of life is growing old
The frost is leaving the melting mold,
And the dew shines warm above.
Under the. ics we hide our. wrong,
Under the ice that has chilled us through
Oh, that the friends who have known us long,
Dare to doubt we are good and true.
Moan and groan in thy prison cold,

Winter is gr owing worn and old,
Roses stir in the melting mold,
We shall be known above.

The result Of the election in Connecticut is
wholly gratifying. There, If anywhere in the
Free States, the sham Democracy, whose SYM
pathies are all with Slavery, hoped to commence
the work of resuscitating their party organizes
ton by political victory. They have been sig
naIly beaten by the combined vote of the Re-
pnblicans and Union Democrats This political
victory, as was the election Of Gov. Sprague in
Rhode Island, is an evidence how surely the
hearts of the people respond to all patriotic
energetic efforts at suppressIng rebellion. Gov.
Sprague Was Democrat, but he was elected
without opposition because he has given all the
energies and strength of his noble nature to the
cause of the Union. Gov. Buckingham was a
Republican, and though he met with strong
opposition from the pro-sIavery Democrats, he
was supported by the uncompromisng Union
men OF all parties, and has been triumph antly
reelected. All honor to the uncompromising
Union men of Connecticut.

NO such desperate fighting has ever been
seen on this continent. Nowhere. in this war.
have so many men stood face to face in hostile
array $4,000 rebels against 100000 of our
troops the first day, and with forces more nearly
even the second day, for two days the terrible
storm of battle ragged. Our men were hard
pushed and fought against terrible odds until
Buell. S forces came up in the afternoon of
the first day and turned the tide Of success. -
AND tho battle of the second day will live in
history as one of the most sapguinary and ter
rlflc engagements that ever was fought The
rebels oattled with the energy of despair and
uhder the most consummate senoraship. Our
noble Western troops went with lofty faith
and stirring enthusiasm into the Jaws of death
The brave Grant has won for himself brilliant
and lmperishable name. His charge, which
closed the battle and decided the victory, was
thrlllingly glorious. But it is evident that the
steady bravery, the desperate fighting of our
men at last won the battle, and achieved o
grand and glorious victory, as those qualities
have always done when fairly tested since the
commencement of the strife.
The blow must be- staggering one for the
rebels, and if their defeat becomes q rout. as we
believe 1t has, it will most certainly "break the
hack OF the rebellion" in the valley of the Miss
issippi. The blood of Western men shed on the
banks and along the valley Of the Father of
Waters, is rapidly restoring the Mississippi to
the Union, and will make that river theirs and
ours forever.
and when this Western thunder shall reach
the Alleghanes and the Chesapeake, how will
onr brave boys in from, of the enemy's lines
there burn with enthusiasm to send back-the
Potomac and the Chesapeake answering to the
glad acclaim Of victory

The first report of the loss we believe is exag-
gerated, but the battle must have been terribly
bloody. AS we cheer for cur victories, let US
remember the price We are paying for them, and

brave dead while we crown with laurel the
brave living
