ed-and largely too. We must meet the
force and drive it back. Several miles of
the Shenandoah Valley, yellow with gold
en- wheat. have, from necessity, been yield
ed to the rebels, notwithstanding many
lives have been sacrificed to obtain pos
ssssion of the same. Our army IS not
large enough. It may be true that we
have the most gigantic army Of modern
times, but it is also true that we have the
largest field ever known in modern or an
cient days, to act upon. And 1t IS further
true that we have powerful and desper-
ate army to contend against. Nor are we
contending against a foreign nation, but
against rebels who are not simply to be
driven from our borders, but who must be
literally conquered, and effectually sub
dued before we can hope to have peace.
Shall we do it by valor and equal numbers
al the terrible sacrifice of life that such
course always ends in? Or shall we not
throw upon the rebels an army large in
comparison with the line of battle and
literally crush down at blowi Unless
such is the case, the people of the North
may depend upon a long and tedious war.
Deserters are quite frequent with US
now. Yesterday administered the oath
vi W co AAOAl VIC ObA AAO0-
isiana, raised in New Orleans. They
were all Germans; one foreign sailor;
one was a boatman from Cincinnati, the
other sailor from New York. They were
given the choice of leaving the State
Of Louisiana, or enlisting in the Confeder-
ate army They could not leave the city
without pass, and thatwas refused them;
the Federal feet blockaded the river
Thus they had fine choice. Several 9TH

Rumors have been extensive, here. that
Ewell is marching on New Creek with a
force of four thousand men, and that jack
san designs pressing Fremont back across
the Potomac. What he designs am not
able to voueh for. But how he will be
unable to execute his plans think l can
see full well. That Ewell is marching on
New Creek, is too absurd and too rash on
the part of the rebels, to believe for an
instant. Nothing could be 50 desirous to
US. Capture would be the inevitable fate
of the Southern forces attempting it. As
usual but small part of the rumors are
true. Yours truly, CASE.

HURRYING ON.

Hurryine on in the midst Of e1citament
Pushing extravagant projects through.
Kew of us know pause ever to question
Ever to ask where are we hur-ying to;
hurrying on over blessings unheeded,
Chasing some joy. like the butterfly, gone,
What Is the good of our wonderful frenzy?
what Is the use Of our hurrying on?
We have been hurrying on from our cradles
What but its shadows have we for the Past?
We are still hurrying on as expectant-
What shall We get by our hurrying at last
Graves so thick that we cannot well miss them
Going with only the clothes we shall wear;
Who're shall be. then, all we're hurrying afterf
What shall We have, with our hurry. when therei
Hurrying on in the wake Of the phantoms
ConJured alone in the fever Of haste,
Hurrying on with extrayagant projects,
Little We reck of treasures we waste:
Little We know Of the diamond moments,
All to be gathered and garnered in store,
d Making our worthy of worthless possessions
Up In the land where We'u hurry no more.
Treasures that lie all around US in plenty
We never heed we are hurrying on,
And when in heaven our Golfers are empty
We shall first know how they are lost and gone
Then we shall know how our spirits have wasted,
W Wealth of Eternity planted in time.
The soil for its seed growing barren As ashes.
While We are hurrying out Of its cline.
God works but slowly-but slowly my brothers,
Not hurrying onward in pa Q on and strife
Works with Love only, and only for others,
Not for himself in the green fields of Life;
Let US sit down and be calm and be thoughtful,
Lifting our hearts to Eternity's brink
Let US cease living alone for the Present
Let US cease hurrying, what do you think!

The Great exhibition.

The London correspondent ofthe 1sSass,
describing the Great Exhibition, says these
pleasant words of the mechanical depart
ment:
The western avenue, where most OF the
British machinery is exhibited, 3 indeed
a wonderful place. At present. there is
deficiency ofsteam, andin consequence the
engines have to perform one after an0ths-,
like acrobats in q circus. II Is srasssines
enough to see how readily they submit to-
the will of man, and how perfectly they.
could keep time to q band of music; If ono
were present. The steam hammers, for
instance, are most agreeable and obliging,
and when Ethiopian minstFelsy becomes.
more muscular, can easily ofieiateas bones
or performers on the tambourine. These
affable giants do whatever Ia asked of
them. Give them nut, and theyHsil
crack it without disturbing the. kernel;
give them bur of iron, as thick as your
body, and they will pound it into flakes
in less than no time; tickle them in GER
tain spot, and with . certain crank, snd
they will go off as if they were mad, and
could never be made to Sep until the
world had been reduced to eternal smash;
pull them up with another handle, and
they stand gaping with their big jaws, like
the good hippopotamus when he opens
his mouth and shuts his eyes, and. secs

Female Society.

You know my opinion of female society.
without itwewouldd degenerate into brntes
This observation applies with tenfold
force to young men, and those who are in.
the prime of manhood. For. after q. GER
tain time of life, the literary man may,
make shift IA poor one, grant to do
without the society of ladies. To a young
man nothing is so important as spirit of,
devotion tnext to the Creator) to some
amiable woman, whose image may oc-
cupy his heart, and guard it from polfu-
tion, which besets it on all sides. A man
ought to choose his wife, as Mrs sPrin-
rose did her wedding gown, for Qualities
that "wear well. -" One thing, at least, ,
Is true, that if mstrimony has its cares,
celibaey has no pleasure. A Newton, or
a mere scholar, may find employment in :
study man of literary taste can receive
in books powerful auxiliary but man
must have bosom friend, and children
around him to cherish and support the
dreariness of old sge.-Joh7l RandoLpt. 80

Side BY side they are hanging there.
The eourtly knight and Tladye fair"
Over her shoulders, fair as snoW.
Floods Of bright hair ripping go:
In sunny depths Of those brown eyes.
A world Of hidden sweetness lies.
The lips are calm. the brow serene.
But nesting dimples hide between.
Al she Is beautiful and fair.
The pictured lady sitting there.
His is bold and noble face,
His bearing stately, full Of grace.
The broad, white brow. the lofty eye.
Speak Of 9 noble mind, and high.
Oft, as the daylight slowly wanes,
I dreamily watch those faces twain
While the dim rays touch, with fairy hand,
The stern knights features. still and grand
And at the magic touch I see
Those still, grave lips smile down on me.
And then the timid, blushing light
Kisses the lady's fingers white.
The still lips part, the sweet eyes smile,
Shy dimples come and 60 the while.
And she seems to whisper, soft and low,
Sweet stories oftheir Long Ago"
But sudden fash of the ftful light
Puts these wild fancies all to fight
And knight and lady, dreams and all
Hang, hfeless pictures. on the wall.

the solid basis Of congenial tastes, dispo-
sitions and pursuits. We look back with
anguish on many things, but on none with
such bitterness of heart as on the unklnd-

friendship is no common blessing Love
is but more agreeable modification OF
selfishness.. When its object ceases togiye
pleasurable sensations, love takes its rapid
light; but neutrality-suspicious. friendship

OUR LETTERS.

OF late, our mail has been very irregular,
thus depriving US of one of our principal
sources Of enjoyment; but we hope that
this will soon be obviated, and that we
can obtain papers as well as letters. A
Chronicle, of late, has seldom found its
way into our midst, when it does come it
is hailed with joy.
But it is nearly time for inspection, and
| must close. The boys are generally
well. Orderly Braden is at Washington,
unwell, with Edwin Woods and Morris
Osborn, both wounded in the late battle
at Port Republic. None were killed of
our company. .....

HUMBLE WORTH.

Tell me not, his daily pittance

That his parentage il lou:
Is he honest in his actions
This Is all want to know.
Il his word to be relied on2
Has his character no blame3
0 then l care not If he's low-born,
o then ! ask not whence no came.
Would he from an unjust action
Turn away with scornful eye?
Would be, than defraud another,
q, Sooner on the scaffold die
Would he spend his hard-gsined earnings
On q brother in diStressi
Would be sooner be afflicted,
And the weak ones wrongs redress?
. then he IS q man deserving
OF my love and my esteem;
And care not what his birthplace
In the eye Of man may seem.
Let It be log-built hovel,

Let 1t be a common poor-house,
