Ed TO TIE ''wAR CLERGY" OF THE UNITED STAT
Oh, God of BattleS once again
With banner, trump and drum,
And garments in Thy wine press dyed,
To give Thee thanks we come.
No goats OF bullocks garlanded,
Unto thy altarS go;
With brothers blood, by brothers she'd,
Our glad libations flow.
From pest house and from dungeon foul,
Where manned and torn they die,
From CORY trench and chaTnel house,
Where heap on heap they lie.
We thank thee for the sabre's cash,
The cannOn's havoc wild;
We bless thee for the widows tears,
The want that Starves the child
We give Thee praise that Thou hast lit
The torch and famed the flame;
That lust and rapine hunt their prey,
Kind Father, in Thy namei
That for the songs Of idle joy.
False angels sang of yore,
Thou sendest war on earth; ill-will
To man forever morel
We know that wisdom, truth and right
TO US and ours are given
That Thou hast clothed us with Thy wrath
To do the work Of Heaven.
We know that plains and cities waste
Are pleasant in Thine eye;
Thou lowest hearthstonA desolate,
Thou lowest the mourner's cry.
Teach US to hate-as Jesus tau0nt
Fond fools Of yore to love;
Give us Thy vengeance as our own,
Thy pity hide abovel
Where'er we tread may deserts spring,
Till none are left to slay,
And when the last red drop is shed,
Wen kneel again and pray.

small forces were falling back TO the foriiica
tons at lexington.
A later report states that tho rebels now
occupy Danville. IS na
Gen Carter, who was at Richmond, is also
falling back on Lexington with his forces. II
Is believed that the rebels are attempting t.
cross The Kentucky River at Hickman's Bridge
Wo have forcc there ,hsl will destroy The

crossing.
Mr.. Richard Appcrs,u, Collector Of Inter.
mai Revenue, 4ll district of Kentucky, and

Mt. Sterling. Ky, arrived here this morning.
They State that our men, some 200, were cap.
tured at Mt. Sterling 10y Clarke's rebel cav,
airy. They also state that tho court house
was not destroyed, thoug9 several efforts were
made by the rebels to fire IT,. Fourteen
buildings were consumed, including the Mont
