nessburs to Gettysburg, where they ar
rived yesterday. Their line of march was
direct, and therefore shorter than the
routes of the other CORDS. The Cacoctin
range was wall to them all the way,
preventing Lee from making counter
movement and attacking them in Hank.
ne Second and Fifth corps were made the
centre column, and were thrown across
tue Monocacy, east, three miles above
Frederick, and moved northeast through
Union to Frizlesburg, which is near the
State line. The Third and Twelfth corps
took the Middleburg road, which is mid
way these, and of course little nearer to
Gettysburg as 9 csntre than that taken by
| the other two corps. The Sixth crossed
| the Monocacy east Of Frederick, and
pushed for Westminster.
The lines of march were like the sticks
| of a fan-Frederick being the point of ra-
diation. By taking these routes the army
was placed in position for quick movement
| to keep Baltimore covered-to cross the
Susquehanna by pontoon below Harris
burg, if need, be, and save Philadelphia,
or, for preventing Lee from slipping down
past the Cacoctin for rapid movement
on Washington. On Sunday afternoon
the troops all moved from Frederick upon
these projected lines. Tuesday afternoon
the sixth corps was at Westminster, the
Second aud Fifth at Frizlesburg, the Third
and Twelfth at Taneytown, the First and
Eleventh at Emmettsburg.
They were all in motion on these lines,
when suddenly orders were given for
change of direction-a change to all ex-
cept the First and Eleventh. They lad
their faces set due north up the Frederick
and Gettysburg pike and kept on. You
see all the other sticks of the tan bent
northwest and gathered to point at Get
tysburg.
Lees movements necessitated this sud
den change. He withdrew from Harris
burg and York on Monday. He was con
centrating at Gettysburg. If Meade KEEP
on his lines of March Lee would have
him wholly in flank. All the while hi
main army bad been no further north thar
Chambersburg. He was moving Long

VIA SoLITARIA-

.1oneI walked the peopled city
where each seems happy with his own:
Oh friends, ask not for your pity
walk alone.
No more for me yon lake rejoices,
Though wooed by 10. ing airs of June
oh, birds, your sweet and piping voices
Are cut OF tune
IN vain for me the elm-tree arches
Its pIumes in masy festhery spray
In vain the evenings starry marches,
And sunlit day.
In vain your beauty, summer fowersi
We cannot greet those cordial eyes;
They gaze on other fields than ours
On other SKIES.
The gold is rifei from the Golfer,
The blade Is stolen from the sheath;
Life has but one more boon to offer,
And that is-Death.
Yet well know the voice Of Duty,
Aud therefore life and health must crave,
Though she who gave the world it's beauty
Is in her grave.
1 live, o lost one for the living
Who drew their earliest life from thee,
And wait until, with glad thanksgiving,
1 shall De free.
For life to me is as a station,
Wherein, apart, traveller stands
One absent long from home and nation,
In other lands
And as he who stands and listens,
Amid the twilight's chill and gloom,
To hear, approaching in the distance,
6 Tha train for home.
For death shall bring another mating
Beyond the shadows of the tomb,
On yonder shore a bride is waiting
Until L come.
In yonder fields are children playing,
And there-O vision of delight =
see child and mother straying
In robes Of white.
Thou, then, the longing heart that breakfast,
Stealing its treasures one by one,
III call thee blessed when thou makest
The parted-one.

'Two important cavalry raids have been

WHAT LOVE WILL DRIVE A WOMl

WHAT LOVE WILL DRIVE A WOMAN To.
From the Chicago Post, trt.ay.
On Sunday evening, as gentleman re-
siding on the North side, Fourth avenue,
was returning from church in company
with his wife, his attention was attracted
to the door of house by faint groans, and
on turning to the spot from which the
sound proceeded, he discovered a neatly
dressed and prepossessing looking female,
apparently about nineteen years of age, sit
ting upon the steps. Beside her lay a large
carpet bag The humane citizen addressed
her kindly, and inquired what allied her.
She informed him that she was very ill.
He took her to his residence, and the lady
of the house did all in her power to relieve
the poor girl. Towards midnight she had
nearly recovered, slept soundly, and in the
morning was thoroughly convalescent. Her
benetactor inquired into her history, when
she related the following strange yet ap-
parently truthful story. There is much of
the romantic about it, yet we are assured
the tale appears to be correct
She gave her name as Annie Lillybridge,
of Detroit, and stated that her parents re-
side in Hamilton, Canada. Last spring she
was employed in dry goods store in De-
troit, where she became acquainted with a
Lieutenant W, of one of the Michigan
regiments, and an intimacy Immediately
sprang up between them. They CORES
ponded for some time, and became much
attached to each other. Some time during

INTERESTING FROMTHE SOUTH,
The Situation in Mississip ID

he SITUATION 4MlSSlSSlppl
From he Montgomery tAla.l Advertiser, May B.
The position of affairs in Mississippi at
the present time, is certainly not very
promising The passage of gunboats down
the river, by the trowning batteries o
Vicksburg seems to augur i'll for the eff
fectiveness of those batteries in holding
the enemy at bay. 1t may not enable the
Yankees to operate against the hill city
with any greater prospect OF success, but
it will doubtless encourage them, and lead
tie people OF the North to believe success
is certain. 1t will, however, give the en-
envy almost entire control of the river be-
tween Nlcksburg and Port Hudson, and
prevent the shipment OF supplies from the
country west OF the Mississippi. OF course
We cannot say whether or not there was
want of good management at that impor-
tant point. 1t may be simply impossible,
on account of the Swiitness OF the current,
10 prevent boats from passing, but if so,
the people generally, as well as the Yam
KEGS, have been deceived
The land movements OF the enemy thro'
the interior OF the State of Mississippi are
IN themselves OF no small Importance, and
their success seems to Indicate either that
the COntederates in that section are too
few in number to meet and check the ad
vance of the enemy, or that they have no
leader possessed of the qualities which
have made the names Of Wheeler and
Morgan famous.
Weeks ago we heard the fear expressed
that too large a portion of the cavalry be-
longing to the army of the West was be-
ing transferred to Tennessee, and was
then predicted that the Yankees would
seize the opportunity to make raids for
the purpose Of destroying provisions and
the growing crops. The prediction has
been fulfilled, and the people of central
Mississippi are now suffering the conse-
quences of one of the most daring raids
which has been committed by the enemy
since the war began. In their march the
Yankees have destroyed an immense
amount of stores, greatly needed at the
present time, and have done almost meal
culable injury to the country. Themove-
ment is one of which they may be proud,
but it is also one which should have been
prevented by our forces, if possible. A
leader of ability and energy is evidently
needed in Mississippi.

We have trembled during the past few
days at the thought of disasters that might

Oh Maggy Lightheart, tittul child,
With breakdown cheeks and teeth like pearl
Your spirit is as light and wild,
Your heart As restless as your curls.
Your life with laugh and song runs DER,
And gushes from your lips and eyes,
And on your face Il light doth pour,
Like sunbeams breaking from the Skies
Oh! child of sweet and gladstone years,
With bounding feet that fly the earth:
Your very joy awakes my fears,

Oh, Maggy Lightheart, for l fear
The weary life that waits us all:
Lest clouds and dangers gather near
Where now no boding shadows fall.

This ardent heart, this loving gaze.
Where all that's wild and glad is now,
There come instead the evil days.

There are three lessons | would write
Three words as with burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now.
And gladneSs hides her face in scorn.
Put thou the shadow from thy brow
No night but hath its morn
Have Faith. Wherecr thy bark is driven
The calm's distort, the tempest's mirth-
Know this-GOd rules the hosts of heaven,
Tn inhabitants of earth.
Have Love. Not love alone for one.
But man, as man, thy brothers CALL
And scatter like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul

Strength when life'S surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else vert blind.

10 HISS. Tennessee Clafin, tie great Magnetic
Doctress and Clairvoyant Physician noO stop
ping at the Geiqer House in Ouawa, Illinois
aciM her Parents
have thought proper to make the fol-
lowing statement: Some time in the
month of April, 1862, l was taken with
violent pains in my body and limbs, which
continued more or less until about the first
of July following, when ! had to give up
all kinds of business, my suffering and pain
was so great. !, however, had done all I
could in the meantime to cure the pain
and arrest the disease, but all to no effect;
and since that time have called upon the
most skilful physicians l could hear of in
this and adjoining counties, and in the
meantime had made two trips to Chicago,
and was there examined and treated by
the best | could find also; and paid them
a good deal of money, and never received
the least benefit from them neither, and
had about given up all hopes of ever being
cured And about the last days of July
past, 1863, a neighbor Of mine came into
my house and handed me one of Miss
Iennessee's bills, which set forth the Won
dertul powers of mind she possessed and
the g4eat cures she proposed to make; and
1T once got neighbor of mine TO take
me down to Ottawa to See her and she
examined my case, and said she could
cure nae, although it was desperate one,
1t beng the Iniiammatory rheumatism
and Erysipelas combined. l put myself
right under her treatment, and in the
course OF three weeks 1 felt the disease
begin to give way, and in about one week
more the swelling and pain entirely left |
me, and now feel myself well at heart |
l feel weak, but feel my
self gaining strength every day and this |
3Oth day of august have started TO ride |
home n a two horse wagon, to Leland /
Station, in this county % miles from here. /
