Silver Greys-and who are they?
Giant men from Iowa;
Men who will their duty do
They'll be faithful, just and true;
They have heard the battle-cry,
As their sons have fought to die;
They have shouted g We will 60
Help put down the rebel foe;
We are old, but still can fight
For country's dearest right
For the flag that waves o'erme,
Show its stripes every sea.
Our Colonel, he's the man,
With his braves to lead the van.
He has nerve rs well as mind
This his foes will surely find. ...
The Colonies men, his noble staff,
As true steel, ard not as chaf
Which flies away at gentle breath,
Leaves no fragrance after DEATH
The Captains, they are just the men;
All ripe with age, II will be seen.
The country still to them ID dear,
And tell and danger they don't fear.

Let us fly at his command,
Fight the battles Of our land.
We will trust our fathers God,
Though we wade through human blood;
We shall shout, The Land Is Free!
At our nations jubilee.

GENERAL BUTLER.

This officer has been superseded in the
command at New Orleans, by General Banks
1t is stated, We do not know with how much
truth, that France has demanded the dis
misa) Of General Butler from the command
at New Orleans, and compensation to French
subjects whom he had wrongly imprisoned
and that our Government, in order to pre-
serve peace with that power, has removed
him. General Butler was ordered TO report
at Washington, where tits thought an i'm.
portant command will be assigned him.
Some leading journals hint that "cross-eyed
Benz will soon make his head quarters in
the city of Charleston, s. C., and should
this prediction be verified we should not re-
greet the change. Butler would be our choice,
above all men in the world, to take charge
o. that old rookery Of treason. No man has
performed his part better than Major Gen.
eral Ben Butler, and we hope that in new
field of labor he may continue TO render to
his country the eminent service which has
distinguished his past military career. If
we had had more Ben. Buffers the rebellion
would have been squelched eret this.
BouND Fon VIcKsBuRa.-Gcneral Sherman
last week started from Memphis for down the
river, with large army, and at Helena was
joined by a large force from the latter place
The accounts do not say what troops joined
this expedition. The latest intelligence we
have from the 3lst states that it was under
marching orders, from which,,we infer that it
took part in the forward movement. Though
the destination of the army is not stated, it is
said to be yicksburg. Dispatches from Cal
70, dated the goth, say that report had
reached Memphis that heavy Federal force
had assembled the river from New Orleans,
the naval portion being under command Of
Farragut, and that Port Hudson had been
taken, ard the feet had reached point twelve
miles below Vlcksburg.
The same account adds: General Sher-
man has undoubtedly reached his destina-
ton, and we confidently expect to hear of
the capture of Vicksburg in the next two or
three days.
The report of an advance from below is
confirmed by statements in the Vicksburg
Wig of the 9th.

PARTICULARS IN GUATEMALA.

A letter from Guatemala gives an interesting
description of an earthquake which occurred there
on the 10Th of December last. The quakng and
trembling of the earth commenced about seven
O'Clock in the morning, while nearly all the popu-
lation were in the streets marching churchward,
with music, and other proud display; suddenly the
music ceased, and all was quiet except the buzz of
the praying populace, in half audible tone, call
ing upon "Mary' and all the imaginable saints for
delverance Probably half on their knees, many
on their faces, and the rest staggering like tipsy
people toward their homes. The earth's crust was
agitated like tea kettle cover when the water has
a superabundance of heat. The rumbling contin-
ned but two or three minutes, but in that time
the wall and frame of every house was creaking,
and it is said that the clsppers of some church
bells struck merely from the unduating motion of
the earth. "Antigua," few leagues from Guata-
mala which twice before shaken to dust, is again
in utter confusion from similar shakings; and so
with several other adjacent towns in the more i'm
mediate vicinity of one of the principal but mac
tive volcanoes. In all however, the aggregate of
lives lost will not reach fifty, and they are of the
most pious nuns, and priests, who occupy older and
more elevated walled buildings.

and also his aid AN Austrian, Baron Wordener.
There was an immense amount OF all kinds of
stores collected there, but was unable to destroy
them as they were in houses, without destroying

enough men I could have brought off hundreds.
