"RalIy Round the Flag, Boys.
From the Chicago Times.]


We wish to encourage elistsments.-
The President has called for three hun
drcd thousand volunteers, very properly
taking it for granted that, il five or six
hundred thousand men had indorsed all
his war policies, and voted for vigorous
prosecution of tho war. in only three
States, he ought to have no difficulty in
securing three hundred thousand soldiers
in the entire North, Now, Curtin men,
Brough men. Stone men, where are you?
You have said to to the Administration,
"Go on with this war, Just as you have
been prosecuting it during the last year.
Never stop fighting until you have freed
the last slave in tho South. Coniscate
their property; subjugate them; offer them
no terms except unconditional submis-
sion" How is the Administration to
follow your dictation unless you come to
its support ? To vote for war is not
enough. That will never "put down the
rebellion You. who are for the war in
the manner and for the purposes the Ad-
ministration is carrying it on, should not
hesitate to take your place in the ranks
and help it along. Once, tho President
and Congress declared that tho war was
prosecuted solely for the purpose of re-
storing the Union, and with no intention
OF interfering with the institutions of any
State. Then "Copperheads" filled up
the ranks. They were willing, and are
still willing to fight for restoring the I'M
ion. But you have declared that the war
is waged for something else. You have
assured the Administration and the peo.
pie Of the South that you will not have
the old Union or tho old Constitution.
You demand "modern improvements. 4"
Chief among these is the absolute de-
struction of slavery, the confscation of
southern property, and the reduction of
the States to yassalage. The Admins
tration takes you at your word. Upon
whom can it rely, il not upon those men
who so fiercely demand these policies, for
men to prosecute the war under them?
Ii these men, or enough Of them to an
swer the call Of the President, do not en-.
list in the war. they add hypocrisy to the
monstrous crime Of betraying the Ad-
ministration in the hour Of its extremity.
They have no moral right to desert it after
Turing it into the adoption of policies
they know to be thoroughly obnoxious
to the Democracy. Those who control
the policies should fight for their enforce
ment Those whose wishes arc defed
and whose entreaties are condemned by
the managers of the war ought not to be
asked to assist in enforcing policies and
principles they believe to be ruinous,

Chickens Coming Home, &c.

1t has been the policy Of the abolition
lists since the war commenced, to have
farcicial elections in some of the border
States, at such places as our troops hold
possession, and to return, as elected. Con-
gressmen, Governors, and State officers,
men who have received few scattering
votes. That these pretended elections
have been worse than farces, no one will
pretend to deny, and that tho abolition
lists have endeavored to render them legal
and bona Jfde is equally true.
The first Tuesday in August last was
the day for the regular election in Ten
nessee. The abolitionists from some
cause, neglected to observe it, or to trot
out their "Union" candidates. But, q
few hundred voters. who, it seems. are
not in full communion with the abolition
church, did on that day vote for one
VIM. B. Campbell, Of that State, for
Governor, No other man was ballotod
for, and the friends of Campbell claim
his election. and have sent Hon, Emerson
E;heridgo to Washington, to ask his ap-
pointment as such. Etheridge is an ex-
ceedngly distasteful pill for tho admin
istration to swallow. He once acted with
the miscalled "Union" party, but becom,
ing disgusted with its fallacies and cor
ruptions, plunged'his political knife into
the animal. and laid bare to the public
gaze the rottenness OF its abolition heart
Hence the Administration and its sup.
porters hate Etheridge, and kick against
the appointment of his friend as Gov
ernor. The chicken that the abolition
lists hatched has come back for roostng
place, and ii the bird has not retained its
beauty as was anticipated it would. it is
no sign that it should be turned away to
freeze. 1t is not the chickens fault if il
is not feathered with wool.

rhc Death Of the FIower.

BY W. &. BRYANT.
The melancholy days have come, the saddcst of
the year,
OF waiing winds, and naked woods, and mead.
oNs brown and sere.
lleapei in the holows of the grove the withered
leaves lie dead;
They rustic in the eddyng woods and TO the rab.
bits tread.
The robbin and the wren are flown, and from the
Aud nom the wood top calls the crow through all
the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers.
that lately sprung and stood
In brighter light and softer airs beauteous sis.
terhoOd
Alas they all are ia their graves the gentle race
of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds with the fair aud
good Of ours
The rain is falling where they lie but the cold
November rain
Calls not ON out the gloomy earth the lovely
ones again.
The wind flower aud the violet, they perishcd
long ago,
And the wild rose and the orchis died amid the
summer glow
But on the hill the golden rod, and the aster in
the wood,
And the yellow sun flower by the Brook in autumn
beauty Stood
Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven, rs
falls the plague on men,
And tue brightness Of their smile was gone from
upland, glade, ard glen.
And now, when comes the calm, mild day, as
still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee from out their
winter home,
When the sound OF dropping nuts is heard, tho
all the trees are still,
And twinkle in the smoky light the waters Of the
rill
The south wind searches for the flowers whose
fragrance late he bore.
And sigh' to find thym in tle woods aual by the
streams no more.
And then think of one who in her youthful
beauty died,
The fair, meek blossom that grew up and faded
by my side;
In the cold moist earth We laid her when the for
est cast the leaf,
And we wcpt that one SO lovely should have n
life 80 brief;
Yet not uurncet it was that one like that young
friend OF ours,
So gentle aud so beautiful, should perish with
the flowers.

Election Items,

The telegraphic correspondence Of the
Cincinnati Commercial from Columbus,
Ohio, under date of Oct. 6, stated
"To enable civilians of Ohio, employ
ed in divisions of the army, to come home
and vote, the Government has authorized
State agents at all points to issue half
fare tickets. 1t is estimated that fully
three thousand ooters wiH thus be added
to tile poll.
The following is from the Washington

The Advance on Rich nm Ond.

Nearly all of our Eastern exchanges
coincide about one thing-that the prop

the Mcclellan route, by the Penin-

pure stubborness, will not take this route.

whom they have removed from COM

by Pope. Burnside, Hooker and Meade.

The Delaware Crane.

In the monthly report of the condition
of the crops for August, from the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington.
some prominence is given to the grape.
and to the mildew which in some sections
has been so fatal to it the present season.
The opinion is rather indicated that the
rot in the berry and the mildew on tho
foliage are due to the same cause. though
not inseparable, the rot never being pres.
ent without the mildew, but the latter
being sometimes present without the rot.
AS to liability to rot, the report says:
ut is generally allowed that of all cul-
tivated varieties, the Delaware is, per-
haps, the most exempt from the rot.''
This is certainly important to grape
growers.

says it is absolutely no figure of speech

that they are. Thousands of tons of

well to extract the silver from are used to
level and maca6amize the streets. Rock
