by Rebels as a most kind and valued

great public eye was to see him as

The patriot soldiers work is DER;
His hands release the flashing blade,
That he by highest heaven swore
To wield tor Liberty.
He FASTENED at his country's call,
Aud rushed where dangers gathered most,
For freedom, mighty blows let fall,
That broke the naughty SERTED host,

Unheeded, clanks the clashing steel,
The shrieking shell, the sabre stroke,

He gave his al, he's done his part
He needs no more the rallying shout,
Or the wild battle cry.

Unuoliced can no sparrow fall,
And every thought though foul or fair,
And every action great or small,

Then sure, each drop Of blood that's spent,
And every life that's offered up,
And every heart that's torn and rent,
Each draught from red wars bitter cup,

Each widows tear, each orphans moan
Each sack, each waste each bruise or scar
Each blasted hope, each shattered home,
Caused by this foul rcbellious war,

Each word, each prayer, or blow that's dealt
For freedom and our country's cause.

And earth and sky will sing applause,

KEEPING CELERY IN OPEN GROUND.
"A trench is dug about two feet deep,
from one to two feet wide, and as long
as required. Two boards, one an inch
or two wider than the other, are placed
lengthwise of the trench, and on the
ground, in position to support the
roofing these are kept in place by
pieces tackled on the ends. The roofing
is made of boards sawed to a proper
length to cover the frame crosswse and
project an inch or two over each side
The celery is set up in the trench, COM
penclng to pack at one end and crowd
ing it close together. The boards are
then put over, covered first with straw,
and then wi sufficient earth to prevent
freezing. In removing for use, begin at
one end, taking off roof board at a
time, aud fill up the trench with the
straw as the celery is removed.

Travling by Rail at the South.

A lady who has just arrived in this
city from Macon, Ga. where she has
been teacher six years, gives an inter-
esting account of travelling by rail down
South. She says that owing to the di-
lapidated condition of the railways, and
want of locomotive power, she was near
ly four weeks making the trip, including
three days detention in Richmond, where
the Rebels tried to detain her by telling
her that the Yankees would not allow
her to pass their lines. She persevered,
however, and succeeded. She says that
the iron has been taken up from branch
or unimportant railways to repair main
lines, and in some places wooden rails
have been laid down. The want of To-
connective power is seen everywhere. In
one place the road was so out of repair
that an engine could not traverse it safe
ly, and there were no horses at hand to
move cars, and they were likely to be
left at stand-still. At length one OK
was obtained and hitched to the passen-
ger car in which this lady was.
At another place, under similar cir
cumstances, she was speeded on her jour-
neg toward land of freedom with one
mule hitched to the passenger car. 1t
is not to be wondered that her locomo
tion was slow ; but she persevered with
good courage until at length she saw the
stars and stripes waving aloft, when she
was almost overcome with the excitement.
She can only compare her sensations to
those of a person who has escaped from
a shipwreck when he finds himself safe
on shore. She says that the restitution
of horses at the South is so great that
she has known several instances of fani-
lies who rode one Sabbath in their car
riage, came the next one on foot, because
'mili airy necessity" had taken all their
horses. Of coarse food, she says there
is an abundance but nothing else. The
fare is almost exclusively "hog and hom-
my" New clothing is out of the ques-
ton, and the old stock is failing very
fast. Ladies are obliged in many in
stances to wear "negro shoes" and ne
gro-made cloth. The destitution of all
Injuries, and almost every thing in fam-
lies that tends to make life comfortable,
Is beyond the power of belief Yet many
of those who suffer are as bitter as ever,
and charge all their privations to the
hated Yankees. Many, however, adlni,
thai they cannot continue the ruggIe
much longer. The want of horses, loco
motives, cars and repairs to railroads,
this lady thinks will break down the
South more surely than fghting.-N Y.
