When the Boys Come Home,
DE- ETHEL LYNN.

From mast and spira the flag fling out,
From gladdened hearts send up shout,
And words Of welcome clamor out,
When "the boys" come home.
Let drum and trumpet beat and swell,
As RAISING ADMINISTRATIONS
Qfbattles brayely fought and we'll,
Ere the boys came home.
Aside let busy traffic stay
The throbbing heart Of old Broadway
Poured out this tide--(two years, to-day
Since the boys left honey
Soon on the same old dusty track,
With slower pace, with mournful lack,
The crimson tide shall gather back,
When the boys come home.
TFain ear and ear that scene to meet,
As watching earnestly the street
At last you see the way.worn feet
Bringing soldiers home.
How eagerly the men will stare
tn faces round them everywhere;
Mothers and wives, be surly there,
When the boys come home.
Then, if the visage, sadder grown,
Shall tell Of wounds, or fever morn,
Qt biyouac, and ward, alone,
Since the boy left home;
Keep down the tears, press down the sigh,
6at softly pray to God On high
That now, so soon, he may not die,
Just as he comes home.
bqt il lie wears health's rudy hue,
i tired, he still is staunch and true
10 God his country, and to you,
Shout welcome home.
The has erred and Stunned the light,
u, cropping, stumbled in the night
Point him TO One who can guide right,
TIL the boys get home.

VIcKsBURG, May IA Yankee craft with two barges in tow, laden with medical stores and ra- tions for the army below, attempted to run batteries last night; they were set on fire by our shells and thesthree burnt to the waters edge.- The crew were taken off by our skiffs and brought here Our forces had fallen back across Big Black river, where they met Gen. Pemberton and Gen. Loring, with forty thousand men, who advanced on Port Gibson to attack the enemy and draw him from all his positions in and around Port Gibson We now hold Port Gibson, which was burned by the enemy. The enemy succeeded in dislodging us from Grand Gulf, which they occupy. We hold all the positions immediately in the rear of Grand Gulf, making it impossible for the enemy to advance from that point. There is no truth whatever in the reports that the enemy have taken the bridge at Edwards depOt-On the contrary they have never been beyond Port Gibson, which is the flank of Grand Gulf, and the defence of the Southern rail road.
 V1cKsBURG, May 5.-The enemy and all his transports have disappeared above. Two rams made reconnaissance as far as the canal this evening. No further demonstrations are reported on the Big Black-all other news contraband.
 MONROE, May ll.-Fourteen thousand Yankees have landed at Alexandria, four gunboats and five transports. Three thousand cavalry on this side of Red river. Two gunboats in Black river, near Mai. Beard's place.
 | SATURDAY, 3 o'clock, D. m., the 9th inst-There is none of the enemy at Culpepper. The Yan- kees have crossed the Bayou Macon, at Coldrean, | about 1000 strong. We have been fighting them all day, and as yet, they have not passed further down the bayou than Chambliss' ferry. We have killed II and have three prisoners. Our loss but little
 RICHMOND May 4.-The following dispatches have just been received, dated May Sd, to Presi- dent Davis. " esterday Gen. Jackson penetrated | to the rear of the enemy and drove them from their position from the Wilderness to within one. mile of Chancelvile He was engaged at the same time in front by two of Longstreet's divs- ions. This morning the battle was resumed. He was dislodged from his position towards Chancell- vile and driven back towards Rappahannock river, where he is now retreating. Many prisoners were taken. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded is large. We have again to thank Almighty God for great victory. We regret to state that Gen. Paxton is killed. Gen. Jackson severely, and Gems Heath and R. P. Hill slightly wounded.

 CHATTANOOGA, May 4-A special to the Rebel dated Rome Ga., May 4th, via Dalton, says Gen. Forreste accomplished the most brilliant feat of the war yesterday, he captured Col. Straights entire command, consisting of sixteen hundred infantry. He pursued them from Courtland Ala, and cap- tured them two miles from the Georgia line, twen- ty miles from Rome, fighting necessarily for five days and nights Gen. Forreste had two killed and forty wounded. His reception in Rome Ga., was l triumphant one. A salute of twenty guns was fired, and thousands of ladies welcomed him W ith smiles.

Clippings and Comments.

The following article from the Missouri Re- publican will show what they did with Confede rate soldiers in April. Since then an order has been issued to murder them at once, There are over a thousand in prison It Alton now, and the shortest way is to kill them. By reference to the article it will be seen that M. Shelby Kennard, formerly of Batesville, and member Of the con yention, has been sentenced to the prison:
 BusHwHAcKERs-Twen three prisoners were yesterday started, under guard to Alton, to serve outgsentences imposed by the Military Commission, 1 for bushwhacking and other crimes.

 - The legislature of Kansas enacted that no person should vote who did not take the oath of allegiance to Lincoln.

DISTINGUISHED ARRIvALs.-Somewha to our surprise, the aforesaid Elisha Baxter arrived Ill town during the past week, and is now in hmoo. Tn our remarks last week concerning him, we stated what WAS said and believed here, on information obtained from northern papers and persons Ho" the northern part of the State Baxter mas "fltteh note to us, stating that we did hlm lnJustlce ana denying all the allegations against hlm AS we are not disposed to do him orany one else lHJustce' we cheerfully give him the benefit of the denial. He savs or his friends for him, that he was offered the position of Lieutenant Colonel ln the Arkan- sas renegade battalion, and refused 1t, but accept ed position as clerk in some department and went off with the federals. He denies taking up arms, though connected with the federal army In fact, it would not surprise us, if his friends claim him to be pretty good secesh. He was ar rested near Patterson in Missouri near which place, he says, he was teaching school. He remained III the woods until driven in by hunger, and when ar rested by men who knew him, denied that he was Baxter His case will undergo investigation and we will not preudge him, only presuming that it will be difficult to prove what he said or did at Helena, Memphis, or in Missouri, and the onus of proof will rest with the government
 Curtis, the cotton card speculator, also arrived He does not deny his guilt, but says he went into the speculation in good faith, at the suggestion of others, supposing that goods would be bought and fairly disposed of, but that after he got into it, other acknowledged it was to be swindle and he agreed to carry out their plans. He promises to make clean breast of it and some rich develop ments are expected

THE NEws-During the past week we have had some exciting news. By reference to our col umn of telegraphic dispatches it will be seen that again. The Wilderness, as it is called, is a tract of country above Fredericksburg, and we suppose the federals crossed the Rappahannock above and were advancing, when they were attacked in front, and Jackson got in their The loss of the left arm of the stern old Cavalier will be deplored bv every true man and woman in the Confederacy, but his sword arm is unhurt, and while there is enough of his body left to hold his glorious soul, and to lead or be carried in battle, he will yet win victories. The accounts are very meagre and only show that the battle must have been severe one, from the fact that we had one general killed and two or three others wounded. The numbers en- gaged. or loss one ither side are not given. From North Carolina, the news is rather discouraging. The federals were hemmed in at Washington, and the situation was so desperate that the Yankee general, Foster, got on boat and ran the gaunt- let of our batteries on the rver to effect his escape A narrow one he made of it, for the boat was hit by thirty forty shots and several persons killed on it. It supposed that the whole federal force would fall into our hands. The place could have been taken by storm, but the federals refused to remove the women and children, and to avoid kill ing them, Gen. Hill refused to shell the town. Thus matters remained for several days, until for some reason not given, Gen. Hill withdrew hls troops and left the enemy undisturbed.
 The federal reports of their whipping Cheatham
 
 annoyed them that they sent out expeditions to get in his rear and capture him. One of these has re- turned, and one was behind him, where, it was sup
