The following stanzas we're found on the
person of a rebel sergeant OF the "Stonewa1
Brigade, recently captured by our troops neal
Winchester, Virginia.
Come, stack arms, men pile on the rails
Stir up the camp fire bright,
No matter if the canteen fails,
Wen make roaring night!
Here Shenandoah brawls along,
There burly Blue Ridge echoes strong,
To swell the brigades rOusing song,

We see him now-the old slouched hat
Cooked o'er his eye askew,-
The shrewd dry smile-the speech 30 pat,
So calm, so blunt, SO true.

Lord save his soul we'll give bim"-well,
That's ''Stonewan Jackson's way"

Old Blue Lights going to pray,
Strangle the fool that dares to scOff!
Attention it's his way!
Appealing from his native sod
In fo1ma pauperss to Cod
LAY bare thine arm, stretch forth thy rod,
Amen!" That's 'StOnewall's way!"
He's in the saddle now ! fall in!
Steady the whole brigade!
Hills at the ford cut off; we'll win
His way cut, ball and blade.
What matter if our shoes are worn?
What matter if our feet are torn?
''Quick step! we're with him before dawn,
That's ''Stonewan Jackson's way"
The suns bright lances rout the mists
Of morning-and by George!
Here Longstreet, struggling in the lists,
Hemmed in an ugly gorge.

For news of Stonewall's band!

of self, had hazarded life for another It
was but the quick prompting of that manly
spirit which he himself had always endeav-
ored to graft upon his susceptible mind,
and which, young as he was, had already
manifested itself on more than one oc-
casion.,
Let me close this story in the very words
of that father, and let the lesson sink deep
into the heart of every parent who shall
peruse this sketch:
Everything that l now see, that ever
belonged to him, reminds me of my lost
boy. Yesterday, found some rude pen
cil-sketches which it was bis delight to
make for the amusement of his younger
brother. To-day, in rummaging an old
closet, came across his boots, still COW
cred with dock-mud, as when he last wore
them. (You may think it strange, but
that which is usually so unsightly an OBJ
ject, is now most precious to me- And
every morning and evening, pass the
ground where my sons voice rang the

mute, mournful one with which he turned
from me on the night Iso harshly repulsed
him. Then my heart bleeds
afresh!
- "Oh, how careful should we all be that
in our daily conduct towards those little
beings sent US by kind Providence,
We are not laying up for ourselves the
sources of many future bitter tear. How
catious that, neither by inconsiderate nor
cruel word or look, we unjustly grieve their
generous feeling! And how guardedly ought
we to weigh every action against its mo-
tive, lest, in moment of excitement, we
be led to mete out to the venial errors of
the heart the punishment due only to will
full crime.
"Alas perhaps few parents suspect how
often the fierce rebuke, the sudden blow
is answered in their children by the tears,
not of passion, not of physical or mental
pain, but Of loving yet grieved or out
ragged nature!"
I will add no word to reflections so true
no correlative incident to an experience
SO touching. L. GAYLORD CLARK.

The New York Erening Post tells the
following story:
1t is about twenty years since one of the
members of the present cabinet was men,
ber of Congress from distant Western
State. He had the usual right of desig-
mating a single candidate for admission to
the West Point Military Academy. The
applications made to him for vacancy
which then existed were not many, but
among them was letter from boy of
sixteen or seventeen years Of age, who,
without any accompanying recommended
tons or references, asked the appointment
for himself The member dismissed the
appeal from his mind, with perhaps pass
ing thought of the forwardness and impu-
dence of the STRIPPING who could aspire to
such place on no other grounds than his
own desire to get good education at the
public expense.
But happening short time afterwards
to be in the little village whence the letter
was mailed, the incident was recalled to
his memory, and he thought he would be-
guile the few hours of leisure that he had
by looking up the ambitious youth. He
made his way, by dint of much inquiry, to
a. small tailor's shop on the outskirts of the
town, and when he was admitted at the
door he found lad sitting cross-legged
upon the tailor's bench, mending rent in
an old pair of pantaloons. But the lad
had another occupation besides his manual
toll. Near by, on a small block of wood,
rested block of abstruce science, to which
he turned his eyes whenever they could be
transferred from the work in his hands.
The member accosted him by the name
given in the letter, and the lad replied, 81
am the person." You wish, then, to be
appointed cadet at West Point?'' 81
do" he rejoined. "Why?" asked the
Congressman. "Because," answered the
tailor youth, 81 feel that I was born for
something better than mending old
clothes. y The member talked further with
him, and was SO pleased with his frankness,
his spirit, and the rare intelligence he
evinced, that he procured him the appoint
ment. -faH 9.s .tl.!'q s~0.aa3
The member is now Secretary Smith, of
Indiana, and the youth General Burnside,
Commander-in- Chief of the Army OF the
Potomac. We should not be surprised if
that boy-an excellent specimens of our
Northern mudsills-were destined to hoist
the American flag to its old place on the
capitol at Richmond. g.

WinOna and St. Peter Railroad.

From the Winona Republican, of the OATH
The cars on the WinOna and St. Peter
Railroad now run out eight miles, to the
"big BRIDGE" the other side of Minnesota
City. There is iron enough here to lay
twelve miles of track, which will be put
down this fall. The Company have been
very fortunate thus far in having good
weather and a sufficiency of help to prose-
cute the work, and also in having the iron
and cars transported by boat from La
Crosse, as both these last items-help and
steamboats, for heavy freight have been
very scarce during the past month. They
have also been fortunate in not having a
single mishap or accident thus far, as is
often the case in making new roads in a
hurry. The Tiger has kept his place on
the track all the time, and is in working
order. -.i5 IA .,,..,.

EXTRACT FROM HIS SPEECH AT M'KENDRRE
METHODIST CHURCH.
From the Nashville Union, Nov. %.


STARVING THE NORTH.
The South said the North would back
down. They see how it backs down! I
am and have been from the beginning an
advocate of coercion, and if necessary, of
determination. This rebellion shall be
crushed if we have to exterminate the re-
bells, and ask God to send us q better
breed of dogs. They bribed all the Union
editors in the South. They offered to
bribe me. I told them as one said to a
tempter of old: "Thy money perish with
thee!" They talk of starving the North,
and compelling bread riots among its peo-
pie. Ihave been there recently, and it
abounds in peace and plenty, nor would
you know there that there is war, except
from the morning papers and the passage
of troops over the railroads. Corn is fif-
teen cents a bushel, Irish potatoes, without
end, twenty cents bushel and fat beeves
travelling about, loose, with nobody to kill
them. Wages are good; employment is
abundant, money was never plentier, and
there is no limit to the credit of the Co.
vernment. The North has put one million
of men in arms, and when these are killed
off she will send another million to take
their place; and if these perish, too, their
boys will be ready for the fight. They
have just begun the war. When it is end
ed the United States will have eight hun.
dred thousand of the best troops the world
ever saw, well equipped and disciplined !;
and, as our hands will then be in, if Eng
land and France are not satisfied, we will
give them turn. am in favor of itany-

The following fine poem by Prof LONG,
FELLOW appears in the December number of
the AAoustic. 1t is the first published by him
since the sad accident which brought such
to his house:
THE CUMBERLAND.
At anchor In Hampton Roads we lay,
On board of the Cumberland sloop-of-war; {;
And at times frem the fortress across the bay
The alarum of drums swept past,
Or bugle-blast
From the camp on shore.
Then far away to the south uprose
little feather of snOW-white smoke,
And we knew that the iron ship of our foes
Was steadily steering its course
To try the force
OF our ribs of oak.
Down upon us heavily runs,
Silent and sullen, the floating fort;
Then comes puff of smoke from her guns,
And leaps the terrible death,
With fiery breath,
From each open port
We are not idle, but send her straight
Defiance back in full brOadside!
As hail rebounds from roof of slate.
Rebounds our heavier hail
From each iron scale
Of the monsters hide
"Strike your flag! the rebel cries,
In his arrogant old plantation strain.
1Never! our gallant Morris replies;
1T is better to sink than to yield r"
And the whole air pealed
With the cheers of our men.
Then, like a kraken huge and black,
She crushed our ribs in her iron grasp!
Down went the Cumberland all wrack,
With q sudden shudder of death,
And the cannOn's breath
For her dying gasp.
Next morn, as the sun rose over the bay,
Still tOated our flag at the mainmast-head.
Lord, how beautiful was Thy day.
Every watt of the air
Was whisper of prayer,
Or adirge for the dead.
Ho! brave hearts that went down In the seas
Ye are at peace in the troubled stream.
HO! brave land with hearts like these,
Thy flag, that is rent i'll twain,
Shall be one again.
And without q seam!

Thor Last Opportunity.

Not 40 axiom is clearer than this propo-
sition-vis-.bat Slavery is the cause Of
this war. Had We no. had slavery among
US We would not have had this war. The
President recognizes this great truth and 50
does the country. In the nature Of things
then, as the Louisville Journal ably re
marked few days ago "a war for slavery
is war against it." And this is the issue
that the rebel,oa South has presented to
the couutry and to the world. The Presi-
dent takes up the issue, and says if you will
have slavery without the Union we will have
the Union without slavery. So be it, he
says You have chosen your issue cling to
it if you dare.
But an hour is left to the South, as it
we're, to make their final, irrevooable choice.
The President puts the question to them,
for once and forever, will you leave of your
rebellion while it is yet time3-tWheeliuG
