We have received the following patti
otto poem from IA young contributor, with a
pressing request to print it, Though there
is room for improvement, the reader will
be struck with the beauty and pathos of the
strain :
For The Cecil Wing.
The Sixth Maryland.
BY A. +.
To arms to arms ! the war cry spread
Throughout the midnight hours.
And hundreds tlocked to obey the call
Of the, Sixth Maryland.
As homes were deserted, aud many tears
shed, stead,
The true patriots poured forth in their
And day after day each company formed,
For the, Sixth Maryland.
Many weeks of anxiety have passed
Since these patriots have left our town,
Yet We will camly, and quietly await the
Of the, Sixth Maryland.
Through storms they have marched, from
camp to camp, them
With the winds sweeping wildly about
Yet they never complain but remain true
to the name,
Of the, Sixth Maryland.
While encamped on the bank OF the old
Potomac them,
With the stars and stripes waving Ger
There the sodiery bud was developing
For the, Sixth Maryland.
May every officer perform his part i'll due
time test.
And gallantly lead his men on to the con-
That they may gain Il name which vii
ever remain
For the Sixth Maryland.
When the war is all over, and peace returns
to our land, arms
No more to he disturbed by the cry OF to
We will hail in triumph the star spanglcd
banner,
Born, by the Sixth Maryland.

A sound Democratic Position.

Col. Walter Hartman, of Manchester, n
H., Is one of the old, efficient and influential
democrats Of the Granite State. His democ-
racy Is Of the loyal stripe, knowing no alle-
glance to party that should cripple his efforts
10 aid his country In the hour of its peril. He
has been in the field in command OF the Elev-
enth n. H. regiment, and last spring was run
by the loyal Democrats Of that state for Gov.
ernor. He has recently connected himself
with the Manchester American as one of its
editors, and from his salutatory We clip the
following noble utterances:
The terrible realities of the Present and the
Future are to be met with heroic firmness
and the mighty question, that presses invol-
uutary upon every loyal heart is-What shall
we do?
have weighed this question seriously, with
candid heart and pure desire to know my
duty. Ny convictions are strong. Whether
men would hear or forbear, long ago deter

istration in all efforts to save the Union.
care but little about names. They have been
shorn OF much Of their former significance.
Issues OF other DAYS are dead and can never
be resurrected. The county is trembling on
the brink of ruin, and he who will do nothing
no save 1t has forgotten the great cause for
which our fathers bled, and is really as des,i-
tute of the spirit Of lofty patriotism as the
minions and dupes Of JEFF Davis.

II will be seen by the announcement at the
head Of this column that the efforts Of some of
our leading business and most wealthy men,
to get up course of lectures in aid of the San
itary Commission, have been successful. Sew
eral distinguished speakers have already been
secured, and negotiations are going on to Sc
cure others. The gentlemen who are to lee
ture will probably receive nothing in payment
for their lectures except their travelling ex-
penses, so that nearly the entire receipts will
be paid into the treasury of the Sanitary Com
mission.
The well known popularity Of the men who
are announced as lecturers and the benevolent
object TO which the money received is to be
appropriated, will, we have no doubt, prompt
our people TO take, at once, as many tickets
as II Is deemed advisable to. sell. The first
lecture of the course will he on Saturday eve
ming next, by HoS. OWEN LovEJoY of ILL
n0s, an able and eloquent champion of
universal freedom.
We shall take early occasion to speak more
at length Of the origin. design and claims of
the Course TO which attention is here direct

The WAR SPIRIT IN BATH.-Our sister
city upon the lower Kennebec has got her pat
riotic feeling up to fever heat, and holds war
meetings In the City Hall three times a week.
1t was our good fortune to be present on
Thursday evening, ana though snow storm
was prevailing at the time, the hall was packed
as solidly with human flesh as comfort would
allow. J. NJ. Lincoln, Esq, of the Times, pre-
sided. and speeches were made by several
citizens and strangers. Prof Siddons and his
Niece, Miss Cameron, were present by invita-
tion. Prof. S. made an excellent speech which
was enthusiastically cheered, and read with
excellent effect several brief poems which have
been born Of the struggle and agony through
which the nation Is now passing. Those OF
our citizens who heard Prof. S. before the NJ
L. Association, and thought he was dry or
embarrassing, VIC are confident would have
reversed their judgment had they heard him
before regular war meeting at Bath. He
was rich, racy, convincing and perfectly cap
tlvating
Miss Cameron read Whittier's beautiful
little poem, published in the Atlantic Monthly
for Oct., entitled Barbara Frietchie," in a
manner that electrified every heart, and the
applause that followed the most breathless
silence on the part OF the audience was almost
enough to lift the rafters. Bath will do her
whole duty, and do it nobly.
