Weaverville, Saturday, July 4, 1868,

GEN. RosEcRANs, than whom truer soldier
never led his men to battle and to victory, gives
the editor of the Catholic Telegraph his views
upon the institution of slavery: 81 am heart
and hand with you in this cause. Slavery is
doomed, and those who would now uphold it will
be held up in very short time to public odium
and eXecration. No statesman will vindicate it,
no friend of human progress will stretch forth a
hand to break its fall, no lover of humanity and
religion will grieve for its overthrow. have
lived long enough in the South to see its work
ings its disgusting features, debasing the higher
principles of our nature, warning with religion,
and patronizing vice and immortality. Almighty
God has certainly ordained its destruction in this
country, where it has been more offensive and
immoral than in any other, and until it is utterly
extinct this war cannot, from the nature of
things, cease. | am in favor of cessation of
bostilites at as early day as possible there
fore, am in favor of the Presidents proclama-
tion. This State (Tennessee) was made for white
people and free labor, and when slavery no longer
blghts its borders we may expect to see the
church and the school house take the place of the
slave-pen and market"

VIRGINIA CITY PIcTURED.-The Santa Cruz
Sentinel contains racy letter from correspond
ent in Virginia City, evidently written before he
had obtained the desired number of 4" feet u"
Virginia is high old place. in fact it is
much like a New York dandy-awfully stuck up !;
a mile and quarter nearer Heaven than your
beautiful city of Santa Cruz. The altitude is
SO great and the atmosphere so oppressive that
ones throat becomes dry and parched. Walking
up the hills upon which the city is built, makes
one puff like sick calf, and real hard work is
out of the question. During the most of the
season, high winds prevail from sunrise to sunset
and from sunset to sunrise The dust mixed up
with rock has become as fine flour by the con-
stant passing of heavy teams, has most nsinu
ating way of getting acquainted with people.
The water is so mean that it has been ruled
out of good society, the people having unan-
mously declared that though water may answer
occasionally, yet, for a constant drink give them
something else.

FREDERICKs sBURG.

1t was lust before the last fierce charge,
When two soldiers drew their rein,
For parting word and touch Of hands
They might never meet again.
One had blue eyes and clustering curls--
Nineteen but a month ago
Down on his chin, red on his cheek
He was only boy, you know
The other was dark and stern and proud
If his faith in the world was dim,
He only trusted the more in those
Who were all the world to him
They had ridden together in many IA raid,
They had marched together for many mile,
And ever till now they had met the foe
With u calm and hopeful smile.
But now they looked in each others eyes
With an awful CHASTITY gloom
And the tall dark man was the Ars' to speak
Charlie, my hour has come
g We shall ride together up the hill
Aud you viii ride back alone
Promise little trouble to take
For me when am gone.
You will Gud face upon my breast
shall wear II into the light
With soft blue eyes, and sunny curls,
And smile like morning light
"liko morning light was her love to me-
II gllddened u lonely life,
And little cared for the frowns Of fate
When she promised to BE- my wife.
" Write to her, Charlie, when am gone
And send back the fair, fond rcc
T'll her tcnderly how died,
Aud where is my resting place,
Tell her my soul will wait for hers
In the border land between
The earth and heaven, until she comes
1t will not be long, ween."
Tears dimmcd the blue eyes OF the boy
His voice was low with pain:
will do your bidding, comradc mine,
If ride back again,
But if you como back, and am dead,
You must do as much foe mo;
My mother at home must hear the news
Oh, write to her tcndcrly.
cone after another, those she loved,
She has buried husband and son
was the last. When my country called,
She kissed me and sent me ON,
''Shc has prayed al home like waiting saint,
With her fond face white with woe
Her heart will be broken when am gone
shall see her soon, know"
Just then the order came to charge
For an Instant hand touched hand,
Eye answered eye, then, on they rushed,
That brave, devoted band
Straight they went to the crest of the hill,
And the rebels with shot and shell
Plowsd rts of dsath through their toiling ranks,
And ieercd them rs they fell.
They turned, with horrible dying yell,
From the nights they could not gam
And the few whom death and doom had spared.
Went slowly back again.
But among the dead whom they left behind
Was the boy with the curly hair,
And the stern dark man who rodo by his side
Lay dead beside him there.
There is no one to write tn the buo,eyed girl
The words that her lover said
Aud the mother who waits for her boy at home
Will but hear that he is dead,
Aud never can know tho last fond thought
That nuught 70 noftet ler peini ?
Until she crosses the River OF Death,
And stands by his side again.
