Second Minnesota.

Where the testimony is so universal to
the good conduct OF the Second Minnesota
in the late battle 10 Kentucky, there seems
to be little necessity of culling from the pas
pers all the words of commentator the re-
giment has received, but we print the fol-
lowing from the correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, because in contains state
ment that has not hitherto been published !:
The good regiments among the volun.
teers will emulate the splendid example set
them by the 10th Indiana, the 9th Ohio,
and the I'd Minnesota. Every officer in
these regiments was at his post, looking af-
ter his men, keeping them in line of battle
as far as possible, and watching for the or.
ders from superior officers.
Every man was in his place and minded
his own business. That was the reason our
line, when we formed, never wavered. That
is the reason that nineteen men of the Min.
nesota I'd were found lying on one spot
not more than twenty yards square--where
the battle had ragged the hottest, and that
very spot was right in the front edge Of
their line of battle, within ten wards of
where Zollicof6cr fell. That was the reason
why the rebels, though outnumberipg us.
could not outfank Us and why the 9th
Ohio drove from the field, at the point of
the hayonet, men who were as brave as
themselves.

THE OLD HOME.

When long for sainted memories,
Like angel troops they come,
If fold my arms to ponder
On the old. old home,
The heart has many passages
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle is sacred
To the old, old home.
Where infancy was sheltered,
Like rosebudS from the blast
Where boyhood's brief elysium
In joyousness was passed;
To that swee spot forever,
As to some hallowed dome,
Life's pilgrim bends his vision
IT'S his old, old home.
A father sat, how proudly.
By that hearthstone's rays,
And told his children stories
Of his early manhOod's days;
And one soft eye was beaming,
From child to child 'twOuld roam +;
Thus mother counts her treasures
In the old, old home.
The birthday gifts and festivals,
The blended vesper hymn
Zone dear one who was swelling it
Is with the seraphim).
The "good nights" at bed time.
How quiet sleep would come,
And hold us all together,
In the old, old home.
Like a wreath of scented flowers,
Close intertwined each heart;
But time and change in concert
Have blown the wreath apart.
But sainted memories,
Like angels, ever come.
If fold my arms and ponder
On the old, old home.

Swearing the Rebels.

The New York Times, at the close of
some comments on the orders issued by
General Halleck in Missouri, requiring the
members of the st. Louis Chamber of Com
merce and the professors and eurators of
the University of Missouri to subscribe to
the oath of allegiance, says:
Remarkable success seems to follow these
moral orders of General Halleck. The
great rebels of the Chamber of Commerce
came right up to the rack the mercantile
rebels followed one man of doubtful 10y.
atty after another pursued the same path,
and we expect to hear, in day or two, as
the result of yesterdays order, that all the
professors, curators, presidents, contractors,
and all the employed and unemployed in
Missouri, outside of General Prices camp,
have declared their eternal and unhinchiDg
loyalty. This swearing process undoubted-
ly does good to the rebels in many ways.
1t shows what thin veneer secession is
when bitter old pro-slavery rebels can cast
it off and return to loyalty thus easily. A
great many of these men, now taking the
oath in Missouri, belonged but a few
months ago to the class who, little further
South, are now swearing that they will new
er, never, never submit to the authority and
supremacy Of the national government. But
why may not the rebels OF Memphis, New
Orleans, Savannah, and Richmond be all,
before another year, brought to at least as
high standard of loyalty as their swear
ing" brethren have now reached 10 Nilsson,
ri? 1t only requires the same success to
follow our arms in the most embittered of
the other rebel States to produce the same
results as have followed in Missouri.
These remarks have all the force of truth
They are the language Of practical common
sense, and we commend them to the consid.
GRAFTON Of all who dream of the impossibility
Of the subjugation Of the rebels and the
restoration OF the authority Of the federal

Beyond Green River with Flag of Truce.

u
A correspondent OF the Cincinnati Times
accompanied the flag of truce which took
the bodies of Zollicoffer and Baillie Peyton
to the rebels. The flag party met the rebels
at the Woodland House. The correspon-
dent says:
MEETING OF THE OFFICERS
Gen Hindman, with portion of his staff
aud a whole company of Texas Rangers
rode up from Gave City, displaying a white
flag. Hating some distance from us, Gen.
erals johnson and Negley advanced on foot
to meet them. Gen. Hindman and Col
Ormsby, of Arkansas, both dismounted and
advanced from their horses.
The usual compliments were pas sed, when
officers on both sides went forward, and a
general Introduction took place. Gen Hind
man then entered the hotel with Gen john
son, where they had, with other federal off
Gers, quite a lengthy and pleasant interview.
The officers on both sides assembled in
the pralOr, when Capt. McCook dispensed
the Inequalities of his haversack.
"Come, gentlemen" said he, "help your
selves and make free. Tomorrow we may
be shooting at each other, so let US be social
under the flag of truce"
This broke the ice, and all were soon
mingling as freely as of the same family.
There was only one sad face in the party.
General Zollicofer's surgeon. who is a pris-
oner Of war, was allowed to accompany the
flag of truce, and, amid all the hilarity, be
alone did not smile. The Confeds. seemed
to relish the liquors hugely.
THE TEXAS RANGERS.
For the first time, I had good opportu-
nifty to see the Texas Rangers, about forty
of then being present. They are generally
young men, and mostly, so they say, from
Texas. The only badge they wore is red
star on the front of their hats or caps.
They seem to clothe themselves as best they
can, and look shabby, ragged and dirty.
One of them has whole suit made out oil
bearskin, and several pants out of similar
material. They are armed with short
double-barrelled shot guns, revolvers and
bowie-knives. Their general appearance
is villainOus, but picked out several very
pleasant and intelligent looking countenan-
ces
TRANSFER OF BODIES.
The bodies were formally delivered to
Hindman by Gen. johnson. Both Generals
were present when the remains were trans
ferred from our ambulances to theirs. Their
carriages were miserable, one being com.
mon spring wagon, and the other rickty
two~wheeled ambulance. The bodies were
Immediately driven off toward Bowling
Green.
SEPARATION.
The two Generals met in the centre OF
the road. General johnson said:
Well, Gen. Hindman, bid you good
day. l hope we may meet often, hereafter,
under pleasant circumstances"
"Thank you, sir. So do I. Good day."
was the reply.

England and France to Maintain Stric
Neutrality.

Special Dispatch to the New York Evening Post
WASHINGTON, Feb. al am in posi-.
ton to state that the dispatches received by
the last steamer from the British Govern
ment are of the most satisfactory and con-
ciliat0ry character. There. is not the
slightest ground for experimenting any fur
Their "dispute" between the two countries
on any pending question, Notwithstanding
the assertions of mischievous newspaper
in New York that further complications
on the matter of international law, growing
out of the Trent affair "are inevitable"
The opinion is expressed here in diplo-
matte circles that England and France will
hencefol tn maintain not only strict neu-
trality towards this country, but will in a
little while, give evidence of their willing,
ness to allow the war to proceed without
even attempting to influence this govern
ment to change its measures with regard to
the stone blockade, or any other mode we
see fit to adopt for bringing the war to a
close.
Private letters from member of Brit
ish Cabinet to distinguished Senator here
make no complaint whatever with regard to
this or any other question, but, on the con-
trary congratulate his correspondent on the
settlement of the Ttent question, inasmuch
as it settles definitely the only thing at all
likely to have led to belligerent move
ment on the part of Great Britain towards
the United States. There is not the slight
est ground for experimenting armed or any
other interference no such matter is al
luded to in any dispatches or in any Of the
correspondence. 1t is considered here as
utterly without foundation and as q mere
stock jobbing or cotton specializing rssss.
