THE LIST OF THE KILLED.
By MARY p. M'cawLEY.


God help thee, thou poor wife,
Who seeth 'moug the slain
The name Of him you love 80 well,
And prayed for all in vain
lie only knows the anguish
That's entered In thy hearts
How fearful in Bfes drama
It's fer thee to act thy part.
Alas for thee, fond mother,
Who in the fatrd list
Has traced the name of the dear son
In infancy you kiss'd!
No NOR" shall you listen
To hear his welcome tread;
Sad. aud thy heart is aching,
For bright hopes crushed and dead.
Thou art weeping. gentle sister,
Thy tears like summer rain
Are eoursing down thy pallied cheek
One dear to thee is slain
He fought beneath the starry folds
OF the ensign he loved we'll;
Nothoughts Of fear dweit In his soul,
For-Reelonfs cause he fen.
Yetye may not cease your signing
Nature bids We mourn,
For the noble hearts the mealstrom
OF war has from ye torn
All many home IS broken
Many cheek turned pale;
And the song of hope on youthful lips
Turned to a Iiteous wall.

We do not fully credit the reports from
Baton Rouge given in our last OF the death o!
the Rebel Gen. Ruggcs in the late battle for
the capital Of louisiana, yet 1t may be true.
AZ all events some account OF him will not be
unlnterestiug.
Daniel Ruggcs is 4 recreant son of Massa-
chu-ei,s, now nearly fifty years old lie
graduated from West Pom, We think in 1885,
and Immediately received commission in the
Army. We first met him on his way 10 join
his regiment-a modest, quiet young New
Highlander, Of moderate abilities aud limited
aspirations. He married, some years later,
into one Of the L" first families" Of Virginia
one possessing broad domains, an abundance OF
slaves, ard the reputation OF wealth. That
marriage caused his ruin. lie was gueless
and plastic, and easily duPed into treason by
the scheming and specious villains who have
for years plotted the ruin Of their country. In
the hands of such men as JEFF. Davis, Floyd,
sldell g. Co, n man like Ruggles, married
INTO high Virginan family WAS bird in the
net of the fowler. Yet he must have had
bitter hours since bis treason II he ever read
the Rebel journals, and noted-as he could not
fail TO uote-the fendish malgnity of their
Hbes ON bis native State. the North, and the
detested "Yankees."
