us THAT MoTHIERi"

A brave lad OF sixteen years, belonging TO a New
England regiment mOrtally wounded at Frcdcr-
icksburg, and sent To tho Patent-Onice Hospital a
the city Of Washington was anXiously leok
ing for the coming Of his mother. As his
last hour approached and sight grew dim, h,
mistook sympathetic lady, who was wp
ing the cold, clammy perspiration from hi,
forehead, for the expected one, and with :
smile Of Joy lighting up his pale face, Whispered
teuderly, "Is that mother ?" "Then," says III,
writer, :" drawing her toward him with all his fee
bic strength, he nestled his head in her arms like
sleeping infant, and thus died with the sweet worC
mother ON his quivering lips"
Is that mother bending oer me,
As she sang her cradle hymn
kneeliug there in tears before me
Say my sight is growing dim.
Comes she from the old home lowly,
Out among the northern hills,
To her pet boy dying slowly
OF wars battle-wOunds and ills
Mother oh we bravely battled--
Battled till the day was done;
While the leaden hail storm ratified
Man to man and gun TO gun.
But we failed-and ! am dying
Dying in my boyhood's years,
There-no weeping self-denying,
Noble deaths demand no tears
Fold your arms around me;
Press again my aching head;
Sing the lullaby you sang me
Kiss me, mother, ere I'm dead

upon them. He thanked them on behalf of
the people. They departed after very inter-
esung interview of half an hours duration.
Wo give the names OF these brave SOL
diers who have been the very first to re.
ccive medals from the Government for mer-
itorious conduct. Sergeant 4. II. Mason.
John Parrott, William Pettinger, Robert
Builum, William Reddick, and William
Benningcr Buffum will he remembered by
many as one of the persons who took such
an active part in the Kansas troubles in
1857.
We may remark, in conclusion, that il il
the intention OF the Government to publish
the sworn statements Of these brave and
patriotic soldiers, in which they detail tho
crucltcs which characterized tho rebel
treatment, of not only themselves and COM
radcs, but other loyal citizens and soldiers.
1t also intends to inauguratc system of re-
taliaton which shall prevent their repcti-
ton i'll future.

MUSTERED IN."-A joke is told by tho
boys Of tho 18th, in regard to the muster
ing in" of a darkey attached to the regi-
ment who was fearful he would be de-
prived of his pay unless he was joined to
the service. A huge mustard plaster was
applied to his back, about a foot below
where the buttons on his coat are placed;
and under the belief that all soldiers were
served in the same manner, he wore it un-
til the pain became uncomfortable, at which
time he was declared mustered in" &C
cording to the law in such cases made and
provided. If that darkey don't get his wa
ges, il will not be because he has not suf-
fered for his country.-EScha,'ge,

Important Decisions.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has lately
made three decisions of great importance
to soldiers of that State, as follows: The
opinion by Justice COLE, against the appli-
cation of certain drafted men, for writ of
of Congress, authorizing the draft of last
summer, was unconstitutional, because at
tempting to delegate legislative powers to
the President, ably refuted this objection,
and showed by numerous authorities. in
parallel cases, that the President by virtue
of the powers given him in the laws of
l795 and 1862, to collect force to sup
press insurrcction, &C., could properly
make rules and regulations for detaching
and drafting militia in States where no laws
on the subject existed.
An able opinion was deliverd by Justice
Paine, reversing the action of the court
OF Commissioner Mitchell, relieving from
draft man on writ of hdbedS corpus, be-
cause not being a citizen of the United
States but All alien by birth, who had de-
clared his intentions and voted. 1t is shown
that such persons are citizens within the
meaning of the act of Congress, and liable
to draft. Various authorities were quoted,
among others the Dred Scott decision and
Marcy's letter in the Koszta case.
Justice Paine also gave most conclusive
opinion in favor of the validity of the law
authorizing soldiers to vote showing un-
tenabe the constitutional objections urged
against it, and pointing ont how State
regulates, in like manner, many other thugs
outside its limits, but affecting its citizens.

THE SOLDIERS, VOTE.

The soldiers from every State in the
Union, who are fighting the battles Of
their country, vote with the Union party.
The vote for the Copperhead tickets is
generally too small to amount to anything
in any case.
The soldiers of Missouri, under the
same influences and imbued with the
same patriotic sentiments with those Of
other loyal States, from Maine to Iowa,
have voted almost unanimously for the
Radical ticket
This fact goes far to fix the status and
the reputed proclivities of the parties in
Missouri. Il is not to be supposed that
the great body of the men of that State.
who are shedding their blood and periling
their lives in defence of the Union. would
vote against it at the polls. 1t is clear
that they stand side by side with the SOL
diers of Iowa, and entertain the same sem
timents of patriotism in the field and at
the ballot-box.

CLOTHES STEALING.-We have heard
great many complaints from our citi.
zens. lately, of clothes being stolen from
the lines BY set of rascals who intest our
city. On Saturday evening last there
were two of our citizens robbed in this
manner. The idea that people who live
IN civilized community cannot hang
their clothes out to dry without having
them stolen, is a new one to US. The
next meanest man to a man that will steal
sheep, is one that will steal clothes from
a line, and we have never seen an epitbet
IN tho language mean enough to apply to
such man. Such fellow, if caught,
ought to be banished to New Jersey or
some other Copperhead locality, and the
Lord have mercy on his soul.
