THE BASTIL,D DEMOCRAT.
BIT p. &. FERGUSON ..

BIT P. e. FERGUSON.
They bore him to a gloomy cell,
And barred him from the light,
Because he boldly dared to tell
The people what wa right
He dared his single voice to raise,
Against expressions power,
To show, by truths unerring rays.
The dangers of the hour.
They called him by traitors name,
And with a fiendiSh hate
Heaped on his head load of shame,
Such as on telon's wait.
They dragged him from his peaceful hearth
Upon despot'S word,
Although the vilest men Of earth,
Should by the law be heard.
Thus he, man of lofty soul,
WELDING a mighty pen,
Whose word the people would control,
And sway the minds of men,
Is by crazy tyrants nod,
OF liberty bereft.
Struck by base usurper's rod
In dark confinement left.
They shut him up, but could not chain
His free and fearless soul;
The sacred chamber of his brain
Was free from their control.
They could not bind the eagle thought
That from his mind took fight,
Eliace the lesson he had taught,
Nor bar the truth from light.
For tho within dungeon damp,
They shut him from the day,
They could not quench truths airy lamp
That burns with fadeless ray.
But bark! upon the sea Of life,
What sound comes from aEr?
1t is the harbirgcr of strife,
OF red ensangllned war.
1t is the Peoples voice that breaks
Like wild waves on the ear!
1t is the Peoples tramp that shakes
The earth both far and near
Lift up thy head, o martyr brave,
Thy chains will broken be;
The People come their friend to save
Look up. thou wilt be free!

From the S. r. Citizen.

Ien-The question is often asked why is it
that DR.. }. G. Young is so successful, while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day?' The answer must be or should be, plainly
apparent to all; it is that he understand his
profession. and attends to it; and as his practice
increases, his knowledge extends. So close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac
tice, that he is perfect master Of his profession
and can insure all relief from their trouble: and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered
his course is onward and upward. placing him at
the head OF his arduous profession. So great has
been his increase of business that he has been
Obliged to associate himself with two other physi-
clans. both Of extended knowledge and practice
We would advise all afflicted to call upon him in
preference to any other Physician. We are in
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system, and Will always warrant perfect cure.

MajOr-General Grant.

Ulysses S. Grant was born at Point
Pleasant, Ohio, April 27th, 1922, and grad
uated at West Point in ls43 as brevet I'd
Lieutenant in the 4th Infantry. During
The Mexican war he participated in Tay-
lcr's battles at Palo Alto, Resaca de la
Palma and Monterey. Afierward his reg
iment joined Scott at Vera Cruz, and Lieut..
Grant took part in every engagement up
to the City of Mexico, receiving brevets as
lst Lieutenant and Captain for meriiorious
conduct at Molina del Rey and Chepultepec.
At the close of the war his regiment went
to Oregon, where he was promoted to a
captaincy, but in 1853 he resigned and set
tied in St. Louis. In 1859 he removed to
Galena, Ill, where he was engaged in COM
mercial business when the rebellion broke
out He was among the first to offer his
services to Gov. Yates, and was made Col
of the 81 Illinois Volunteers, with whom
he went into service in Missouri. In the
summer Of 1861 he was made Brigadier
General and assigned to the district about
Cairo. He Immediately occupied Paducah,
KY, stopped the flow of supplies for the
rebels up the Tennessee and Cumberland,
moved soon after on Belmont, opposite the
rebel stronghold at Columbus, from which
place he was driven only after desperate
fight by largely superior force of the
rebels.
In February, 1862, he led the land forces
sent against Fort Henry, but did not par
tic pate in the victory, The gunboats having
done the work before he got there. There
upon he marched forthwith on Fort Donel-
son. This place he beseiged and assaulted
and on the 10th of February the rebels
raised the white flag, (Gens. Pillow and
Floyd having stolen off during the night
with 5000 men, leaving Buckner to sur
render0 and sent TO Grant for terms. He
replied that the surrender must be uncon-
ditioDal or he would instantly move on the
works. This short and soldierly answer
gave his soubriquet of Unconditional Sur
render Grant--the initials being the same
as his real name. This fortune and fairly
won victory was rewarded by commission
as Major General. In April he reached
Pittsburg Landing, Buell. being in his rear
with reintorcements. The rebels did no;
wait for Buell., but made furious onslaught
upon Grant, who was forced back to the
shelter OF his gunboats where he resisted
johnson with success. Next day Buell.
came up, and the rebels got a severe fog
ging at what they call the battle of Shiloh,
their commander, Gen. Albert S. johnson,
being killed.
His more recent operations, now culmi-
mating in the capture of Vicksburg, and the
opening of the Mississippi, are fresh in the
public mind. General Grant is represent
ed as man of plain appearance, about FIVE
feet nine inches in height, light hair, blue
eyes, rather tacturn, closely attending to
business, methodical and cautious, though
full of daring and dash if need be. He is
held in the highest esteem by his men, who
seem to place the unbounded confidence in
him--not because of his political prefer
ences Or aspirations, but because he is en-
phaticaly a fighting general

When false ones dare deceive thee,

And breast the sinking tide,
For DER the vale of shadows
Oh, there's u sunny side.
Let early ties be broken
Whichever thou held'st dear;

The trial how severe
For there are many others
In whom thou canst confde,
Where'er thy sad heart piueth-
Yes, there's a sunny side.
Our lifetime here Is fieeting,
1t passeth soon away,
Like fancy 8 dreamy visions,
And Autumn's wan decay.
Then. take thou hold In earnest
Before though thou hast tried;
Life Is made up of struggles,
There's yet sunny side.
This wide world may look dreary,
The temptest louder roar,
While every golden moment
Thy life-boat watts to shore.
Delay not in thy efforts
Against the wind and tide,
To do what thou wouldst have to do.
Upon the sunny side.
