opportunity Of making a most advantage

Even in selfish point Of view, the Gov

We hope that every citizen, how
ever humble his fortunes, will make

From the New Orleans Crescent
CONE TO THE BATTLE FIELD.
BY JOHN ANTRoBUS.

The reaper has left the field,
The mower has left the plain,
And the rsaper's hook and the mowers
scythe
- Are changed to the sword again;
For the voice of u hundred years ago,
When Freedom struck her mightlest bIoE.
Thrills every heart and brain!
The wayside mill is still,
And the wheel drips all alone,
For the miller's brother and son and sire,
And the millers self have gone;
Aud theirwives and daughters tarrying still
With smiles and tears about the mill,
Wave. wave their heroes on!
The grain is full and ripe,
And the harvest moon is nigh,
Rut the farmers son is among the slam
And the father heard the cry,
and his sncieut eyes flashed fires of old,
His hoary head rose strong and bold,
As wild he hurried by!
The corn is yet aheld,
But many a stalk Is red,
Yet not with the autumn-tassel stained,
But the blood of heroes shed.
And their blood cries out from heaps Of
slain,
Oh! brothers leave the sheaves of grain,
On to the fields of the dead
BY every quiet farm.
Whence father and son had gone,
The faireSt daughters OF the land,
Braye-hearted, cheered US on;
With the tender smiles that shelter tears,
And words to thrill a soldiers ears,
When bloody fielus are won.
Scarcely the form of man
Was seen on the long highway,
But patr ot-age whose withereI hands
Stretched fee0ly up 20 pray;
And children whose voices haunt US still,
Gathered on every knoll and hill,
Cheering US on our way
Yonder, with feeble limbs,
A matron with silver hair.
Knelt trembling down on the soldiers path,
Auyi Orcutned to heaven prayer.
With quivering lips, tn streaming eyes,
Oh, God preserve these gallant boys,
In battle be Thou there.
Oh, soldiers! such as these,
Like household memories come,
For thousand prayers ascend to-day
From those we left at home.
For the red, red teld tonight may be
Our couch, our grave--whlle victory
Shall shout above our tomb.
In battles bloody hour,
These pictures shall arise
OF mothers. sisters, wives and homes,
And rel and strbaming eyes;
And every arm shall stronger be,
For Home for God, for Liberty,
And -uikc while Mercy dies!

TuE DEPARTMENT OF Missouri Our
Richmond correspondent, always cautious
and discriminating in his assertions, states
that Gen. Earl Van Dorm has been ap-
pointed to take command as Maj. General
of the Department Of Missouri aud Ar
kansas. The Richmond Examiner Of the
18th INST. makes the same statement,
which seems to be confirmed by the allie
CATION of the Knoxville Register to the
effect that he had passed through that
place en- route for the West to take charge
Of bis new department. This appoIntment
of course, does not supersede Gen. Price,
but leaves him to his same field OF opera
ton as commander of the Missouri forces.
Public opinion in the West has been al
most unanimous 10 favor of assigning this
position to the gallant Price, but as no
good can now BE- accompllShst-sy censlr-
log the Administration, We sh0ald make
Tie best of this. The high reputation of
Gen. Van Dorn, however, as an expert

measure to mitigate the public disappolnt-
