The Soldiers Rally.

Now rally round the banner, boys, now Free
dom's chosen sign
See amid the clouds of war, its newborn glo
ries shine
The despot's doom, the slaves dear hope, We
bear it ON the foe
Gods voice rings down the Frightening path
Say, brothers, will ye go'
my father fought at Donelson; he hailed at
dawn of day
The flag full-blown upon the walls, and proudly
passed away"
my brother fell on Newbern's shorei he barred
his radiant head,
And shouted, 'on! the day is wonP leaped for
ward, and was dead"
"My chosen friend of all the world hears not
the bugle call;
A bullet pierced his loyal heart by Richmonds
fatal wall"
But seize the hallowed swords they dropped,
with blood yet moist and red
Fill up the thnned, immortal ranks, and follow

The grand old cause our fathers loyed-Freedom

"My mothers hair is thin and white; she look

She clasped me to her heart, and said, Go, take

my sister kissed her sweet FAREWELL her maid

Around my neck her arms she threw feel the

my wife sits by the cradles side and keeps our
little home,
Or asks the baby on her knee, When will thy

0, womans faith and mans stout arm shall right
the ancient wrong
So farewell, mother, sister, wife God keep you
brave and strong
The whizzing shell may burst in fire, the Shrek

The heavens and earth may mingle grief, the
gallant soldier die;
But while a naughty rebel stands, no peace for
peace is war.
The land that's not worth our death is not worth
living for
Then rally round the banner, boys! Its triumph
draweth nigh
See where above the clouds of war its seamless
glories fly
Peace, lowering DER the brstling van, waves
palm and laurel fair,
And Victory binds the rescued stars in Free

A Match for Brownlow's Case.

At the residence of Rev. DR.. Breed in
Philadelphia, as we learn from the papers
of that city, is now staying Rev. John Ii.
Aughey, a Presbyterian clergyman, a
gentleman who, at the hands of the reb-
els in Mississippi. has endured every
thing but death. He is a citizen of Mis-
sissippi, now emaciated almost to skin
and bone. He has tasted three times the
bitterness of death. and yet escaped its
consummation. Whether any galley slave
ever endured greater suffering in given
amount OF time may be safely doubted.
The following account of his troubles has
been CLEANED from his conversation:
On the first of July last he was ar
rested by company of cavalry under
command of Capt. Hill, in Tishomingo
county, Mississippi. When brought into
Capt. Hills presence he thus addressed
him:
Are you Unionist p
"I voted the Union ticket, sir"
"That, sir, is an evasion. voted the
Union ticket and now | am fighting
against the Union. What are your SEN
timents now ?"
81 have never seen any reason for
changing my opinions. | voted the
Union ticket and am still Unionist."
You must go to headquarters"
A Mr.. Benjamin Clarke had been ar
rested as Unionist on the same day
while plo.ing in the field, who, with him
self, was placed under guard and sent to
Fulton, in Ittawamber county, to the
headquarters of Col. Bradfute. When
they appeared in his presence the fol-
lowing colloquy ensued:
Are you a Unionist ?" Ito Mr.. Augh-
ey)

"WheIe were you born y

just for Once.

The holidays come but once year,
and are entitled to special attention from
that fact. They are occasions precious
from their rarity, but there are other oc-
casiohs more precious and more rare,
which come at long intervals, perhaps
only once in lifetime. Few OF US are
married more than once, and we can af-
ford a little festival in celebrating an
event so unique. There is tide in the
affairs of men which must be awaited
watchfully, and then eagerly improved
for once missed, it is not often that it re-
hrns. The maid waits for husband
tie youth for employment-the genius
fd recognition all stand with eyes fixed
upn fate's impenetrable wall door
optns ultimately, and whether they pass
or pot, it closes again forever. 1t often
hatens that the very persons who are
watching for rare opportunity, miss it
whea it comes. Their attention is di-
vertd at the critical moment, the golden
shown is past, and their dish is unhap-
PLY overturned and empty.
A ytar ago gay woman stood in the
nation'a capital, receiving with bare
shoudes and Gower-crowned head the
homage of distinguished guests. We
thought Mat to that woman had been
given possibilities not granted to one in
a million, and that the dazzling glitter of
the chandeliers had blinded her to the
boon. But statelier guest than any
she awaited entered those halls lat sight
of him ber wreath changed 10 cypress,
and the jewels dropped from her white
fingers, transformed as they fell into
blessings for hospitals or camp. We too
stand like her this day, surrounded by
oonnfUrts and luxuries, with a peerless
opportunity beckoning, waiting, passing.
Never have we known time wien mo-
ney would buy so much. The note that
is crushed in the wallet is the ransom of
life. The stores in the housewives attic
lie ike mute angels with folded wings,
longing to fly on their mission of mercy.
Sable shadows point toward forgotten
closets, ard men claim the perquisites of
moths. There are those to whom the old
cap and vest and boots would give joy
they never gave to their owners when
new. The coarse blanket, of which the
thrifty dame was half ashamed, will be
welcome in the convalesceni camp as a
royal robe. The self-denials we have
already sown have already sprung up in
a crop Of armed men. The abjured hall
dress mounts guard as soldier (whose
life the donation saved) at once shabby
and sublime. The covetedtset of furs is
transformed into blankets and mittens,
and now warns dozen hearts besides
that of the beautiful donor.
Self and its needs may be supplied at
another time; let US labor for others just
for once. There is time to keep and
a time to give. Money now will save
what another year no money will buy
back. What is only lrxury to us, to
another is life. Others take their life in
their hand and go \; we, who canot go,
will send whatever our life can spare
1t is but for this once. For twenty, thir-
.y, fifty years we have been spending or
boarding for ourselves we did not know
he hero that slept in US, but now on this
grand occasion he shall rise equal to the
lour.-Springfeid Republican.

ca The following is related of Gen.
Brooks by the Times
The General is a notoriously rough
man in his speech, and was wont former
ly to characterize the Vermont boys,

taking command of the new division re-
Gently, there was grand division re-
view, in which brigade Of New jersey

A few weeks after our confinement at
Richmond, there was strong talk of ma
ling all the officers hostages for the good
conduct of our government. They sought
for every possible pretext to hold some
of US to be hung. South Carolina sent
up her howl for blood : The United
States Government hold our sailors as
Pirates US some United States
officers and men TO hold the same way"
was the cry. This had good effect.
Already they had treated US with re-
n.wed severity-shot three of our men

II appears from ,lhs Mexican intslli.
renee which vet.A :blish 10 another COL.
umn this morning That the Church Of the
Republic 10 generally agreed. NOT only
upon giving TO the French the most Wig
orous support. bat upon altogether sxtsf-
minating, with their aid, the Democratic
Institutions of the country. That Lead
ing men Of the party were engaged u
this work was known from the beginning
OF the invasion, for Gen. Almonts, Father
Miranda, and other Rsactionisn went to
Europe for the special end OF enlisting
tho interest OF some of the great Europe.
an Powers in behalf of Q restoration OF
monarchy. But Il was doubted whether
any European prince would be found
willing to lend his aid for the total over
throw OF the lawful, national Government,
and even il that should take plAcs. wheth-
or the bulk of the Mexican people could
be found willingto abandon is cherished,
traditional institutions.
Both doubts seem IS be on the point Of
being removed. TIE prospects OF Prssi-
dent Jusrez are getting 10 be more and
more unfavorable, and the subsection Of
the whole of the republic 10 the control OF
the Church party has become highly
probable And on the other hand, the
whole Church party, AZ far a. We can
learn, are q unit in demanding the oboli-
ton Of republican form of Government
They even seem TO be ready TO become
at once loyal subjects of the French En-.
peror.
This latter point 10 said TO hsve been
explicitly stated in message which the
heads O. the Church party in the City Of
Mexico sent to Gen. Foray Immediately
upon the evacuation Of the city by Presi-
dent Juarez. Certain il 10 that the three
newspapers which they at once establish

ted the establishment of a monarchy
One of them even chose the significant
name La .Honarquto. The article which
set forth the political programme Of this
paper coDLained the following significant
passage:

Mexico BY the Freneh) settles with sbso-
lutte certainty at this time that it 10 nee

This article was copied with approba
ton by another OF the new papers, Fl
CroHista.
We believe that little, if any, doubt i.
left that by this time she establishment o.
monsrcbical form Of Government ha,
been fully sgresd upon between Genera
Foray and his Mexican friends. Nor dc
we think that it will take them long L
execute their designs. A point that may
no. have been fully settled Is the relation
of the new monarchy 10 France; whether
some kind Of French psossctorate 10 to b
legally provided for, o. whether nominal
ly the nasiosal iadepsndssce Of Aexie'
is to continue unchanged. But In ei,he
case, the change OF the form Of Govern
ment vim undoubtedly seriously effect on
