Three Cheers

THREE cheers for The Union, for freedom, for

For law and for liberty looming in sight
When bullets and ballots in victory combine;
Let tyrants and traitors turn pale at the sisn'
Chorus. ,,
The Union must stand, the Union must stanu
Wen trust in jehovah. and hghl lor our

Her voice ike deep thunder resounds from aiar:

Three cheers Pennsylvania, the Key of the Arch!
The Curt(a)n that darkened invasion's proud
march,
Like the cloud that hung radiant DER Isracl's
flight,
To traitors is terror, confusion and night
".
Three cheers Indiana, and Iowa too
For freedom and union all loyal and tru"
Go on, Father Abraham, lberate, smite
We're with you, all with you, for union and
right
New-York will be with you; her wayering Is
past,
And the hosts of her freemen are hurrying fast;
The tramp of her millions already we hear
New-York will be with you her triumph is near :

Missouri is coming, her bondage is DER,
And Slavery and Treason shall blight her no

And Kentucky and Maryland answering cry,
With the border united Rebellion must die Z"

And then, when sweet peace shall be with US

And smile benedictions o'ermountain ard shore,
Well tread freer soil than our sires e,c. trod,

QUITE large number Of the rebel pris-
oners at this place, we understand, have
made application to Provost Marshal Pat
terson to administer to them the oath of
allegiance, which IN due time will probably
be done. This shows whether or no there
are any Union men in the ranks OF the reb-
81 army. and when nearly one hundred out
Of six hundred and thirty-six, the number
here, will take the oath of allegiance to
the United States when permitted to do so,
il gives us better hope for the speedy re-
turn of reason to the Southern people and
the consequent restoration of the Union
than we have ever before anticipated, for it
demonstrates beyond doubt that there are
hundreds and thousands in the South, even
though in the ranks of the rebel army, who
love the old Union still. and who are IN
willing to be separated from it, We hope
that they will soon be permitted to renew
their allegiance to the government by the
administration of the oath to them. We
also understand that some of them are de-
sirous Of joining the Union army, to fight
for the glorious old banner.

POINT LOOKOUT, Aug. II, 1868.
The Chairman of the Christian Commits
sion of the district of Maryland, accompan-
led by two delegates of the Commission,
having been afforded the pleasure of visit
ing the hospital Of Point Lookout, and its
surroundings, are happy in expressing the
pleasure and qualification afforded by this
visit. We tender our sincere thanks to DR..
Heger, Chaplain Spooner, Chaplain Am
brose of the 18th n. H., Quartermaster
Edwards, Steward Archibald, and others,
for their kindness and courtesy III afording
us every facility for visiting the wards and
camps, and their hospitality in rendering to
us such comforts and accommodations as
the hungry and weary can best appreciate.
Oar qualification in viewing the ample,
comfortable and luxurious appliances of the
hospital, with its happy conception of de-
sign and structure, is beyond the force of
our pen to describe. The gentlemen hay-
ing the matter under supervision cannot
haze Zoo much praise and credit for the
satisfactory manner in which they have per-
formed Their mission, and the perseverance
and energy in accomplishing so great
work in so short time, and we cannot re-
frain from congratulatiug Our government
for their happy selection of these officers,
and can but say, If in all their selections
they were as felicitous, our wounded would
have no cause for complaint, and the lives
of thousands Of noble, eeiciert and valiant
men world be spared to battle for their
country's cause After the hardships and
