For the JontGa
La yEuVc,


Cur boys cur noble boys are falling round ~
The fairest, noble st Of our Southern band
And severd now, many ties that bound us.
So this, Cur desolate and blood stained land.
On, the young widows that are now left greeting,
And mothers mourning for their dead first born
Oh, tho deep woe. and hopes so sadly hseting-
How still the lady sts-we scarce are certain
If tits in sleep, or only in dream
But now she starts, and drawing back the curtain
Peers down the road with eyes that wildly glsam.
How deathly still the night No cannon's roaring.
Comes IRON the battle field to fright her now,
While through the easement, niglt3 sweet hif-'.-
pouring,
Raft back the hair from off her ching brow.
All through that hot June day the cannon's peaIing
Borne on the heated, sick ming summer air,
Had paied her cheek, and DER her sad heart steaug
Crushed down her hopes, and filed her soul with Dr.
But bark those distant voices softly speaking;
And see, far down the road those torchlghtI glare
Her heart SO wildly throbs she thinks it breaking
In vain she tri:s, her lips can form prayer.
Down this road, Just three weeks gone Gc-moroF
merry bridal party, gay and bright,
Wound itR way without one thought Of sorrow,
Or sad fore boding of this dismal night
Scarce can she move but this suspense ia mad ming
So to the door she goes, with hope forlOrn,
And there she sees-was ever sight so sad hing
Her noble husbands corpse toward her borne.
All hope is Ger, and now the sad eyes langutsh
Her brave heart sinks beneath this blighting woe
Weep, daughter weep but in thy bitter anguish

EAT LESS MEAT.-The great scarcity of meats OF all
kinds in this Cenfederacy renders it absolutely
sary that all classes should be exceedingly economical
in It's use, in order to furnish the Southern armies with
proper rations In the old countries where the people
parativey little meat is nsed. We must follow their
example during this war. Every housekeeper should
raise many hogs and beeves as possible and every
farmer ought to devote fair proportion of his best
lands to the cultivation of the Chinese sugar cane from
which to make abundant supplies of molasses By
doing this, and by cutvating and drying fruits of all
Sorts we shall have an abundance of good nourshDg
food for private families and exempts and fair propro

Yesterday forenoon Coroner Fl. r PERRIN held an
inquest over the bodies of white woman and child,
which were found dead in an clubhouse near the plank

with whom she had been living, although not married
to him. vas arrested BY the military police, and is now
as We learn, in the military prison. We do not know
the charge against him.
1t would appear that the woman and child died On
Wednesday night, and tie Coroner was sent for on
Friday morning. The verdict OF the jury summoned
bv him was that the deceased died from want of as.

The Armies Gems Meade and Lee-Thc Coming
Campaign In Virginia.

A dispatch, dated the 2lst at Hagerstown, Md, re-
ports General Lee to he checked by the Federals a.
Bunker Hill, they having gotten in his rear. Genera
Averill is reported to be g feeling Gen. Lees wester
y line OF retreat. Gems. Ewel and Hood are reported
to be within l3 niles CT Williamspert, Md. TIE Con
federate pckets have front extending from Hedges
vile, seven miles from Marnsburg, to the Shenandoah
river. eight miles from Harpers' Ferry.
The New York Times has an editorial on the New
Campaign in Virginia" The following is extract
from it:
The information which we, as yet have both as re.
CARDS Lees position and line OF retreat, and Meade's
line of advance too scanty to enable one to forecase
the nature of the coming campai gn. The character of
the great chess board is well understood however
that few must reveal the general aspect of the
grand game.
In an advance on an enemy moving, by the Shenan-
doah Valley, We have the choice Of two lines, and only
two We either to the right or to the left of
the Ridge mountains. If we move by the right the ad
vance becomes mere following after the enemy. The
chances of overtakiDg him-he moving towards bis
base we from ours-are slender but should the enemy
determine to make stand the line OF the Opequon
creek from Charestown to Winchester will afford him
three or four capital positions.
If on the other hand it is determined to move
by the left that is East of the Blue Ridge mountains
it becomes on part strategic maneuvre to seize
the lower gap through which the rebel army must de-
bouch to its communication by way OF Cupeper
and Gordonsville. If we take Cupeper or Gordons
ve as what military writers call the "obectve point"
land it is evident Lee has to make this in order to COW
his line of retreat to Richmond it is obvious that
force moving to the east of the Blue Ridge mountains
and hugging that range will be the shorter line as
compared with force moving down the Shenandoah
Valley. Lees route must be by way of Winchester,
Strasburg, and Front Royal and deoouchng, to make
Culpeper, through Chester Gap or thornton Gap. We,
the other hand, marching by way of Berlin Wheat
land, and Warrenton have direct line. Lee has two
sides of great triangle to describe. Meade has but
ona.
Previous to the Inauguration of the campaign last
autumn it was an anxious inquiry with Mcclellan
which of these two lines of operation he should take
He at first determined to move by the Shenandoah val

An occasional shot was exchanged between the land
batteries Thursday night, until early hour Friday
morning. when the enemy's battery, about half mile
from Wagner, opened heavy fire upon the latter from
their Parrot guns followed by three other batteries in
rapid succession Our batteries replied and the can
nonadng continued with great spirit on both sides
for several hours. The Ironsdes and Monitors made
no demonstrations. The casualties on our side from
the mornings commandment were reported to be two
killed and five wounded In the afternoon another sharp
fire was opened from the enemys batteries and contin-
ued for about two hours, when it ceased.
Fort Sumter and the batteries On James Island kent
up their fire on Morris Island and it is believed had
the effect OF stopping the Yankees q. their works
besides doing some damage among them.
