elusive of the fact that boots and shoes were eXclu

were about being imported, because they paid better

He is gone! q He sleeps his last Sleep
In the dark, cold and lonely tomb;
And friends for the Soldier will silently weep,
While hearts are shrouded i'll sorrow and gloom.
Ncbly did he respond to his country's CALL
When first it was invaded by hostile Zoe;
And as bravely as nobly did he fall,
On that sad day when our Chietdln was laid low.
He is gone He has fought his last bstte,'
Meath the sodS Of the valley he'll calmly sleep;
Where the tap of the drum cannOn's rattle,
Can never arouse him from his slumber so deep.
Alas he Is gone and never, o, never again,
Will we the dear friend who gently doth sleep
In the quiet grave, ever free from pain
While Ter him angels, holy vigils will keep,
We bow in submiss sion to the Almighty Power
That Nilled so far from his hoUe he should Gle;
With no kind Mother to soothe his dying hour,
Or Sisters dear to receive his parting sigh.
He is free! The Soldier'st' off duty forever
Around the campfire he'll mingle no more;
And in his own dear home he viii appear never,
To meet his kind Mother and Sisters so dear.
But we will meet again on that happy shore,
Where sorrow and trouble are known no more,
For these, thy parting words, to me were given.
"Meet me, -lly friends, Oh +! meet me IN Heaven"
We will humbly bow to the chast ming rod,
That took thee from Us but bore thee to God;
And pray that our sins may all be forgiven,
That we may dwell with thee forever in Heaven.

The ARMY OF THE P0r0MAC-PREKoErr0RY
SrArroNs or AcnoH-A year ago great out
CRY YVES raised against the general then in COM
msnd Of theArmy Of the Potomac because he did
not advance against the enemy over impracti-
cable roads during the rainy season. The ex-
psrience Of two other generals since at the
head Of the same army demonstrates that to be
"stuck In the mud" in Virginia is not peculiar
to any one general. Il ID an inevitable result
of "the sacred soil" and the rebel chiefs. whs
are supposed to know the country better than
our generals, have to share the common lot.
Their movements are equally crippled, unless
80 far as they have railroads ct command. We
are glad to learn, however, that three days ago
the roads were In such fine condition In the vi
cinity of the Rappahannock that military move
ments were quite practicable. which fact,
coupled with the reconnoissances recently
made, would indicate that We may soon have
stirring news from the Army Of the Potomac.
The snow and rain storm that has since inter-
vened at the North may, perhaps, have extend
cd to Virginia and arrested any contemplated
operations; but the storm is light, and two or
three dry days will be sufficient to put the
roads in good order again. The Army Of the
Potomac is described as In excellent condition
and fine spirits, ready for any enterprise to
which it may be led by General Hooker.

DErAULr1So PAYxAsTERs-Some time ago, 1t
will be remembered, certain paymaster was
sent to the West with vast sum Of money to
pay or the army Of General Grant, and, falling
by the wayside, he took to the faro table at
Columbus, Ohio, where he was carefully at-
tended to by q gang Of gamblers. They fol-
lowed him to Cincinnati, and thence to Louis
willie, and the end was that the military ohicial
came out minus some $263,0OO OF the soldiers
pay. The whole crowd were arrested, and II
was then said that they would be handed over
to General Grants troops, to settle the account
with them. What has become of the case
Did II ever reach an issue, or has II been
smothcred upf The public would like to
know. Or Is the official in question the pay
master who called on the President the other
day TO "pay his respects" and was the reci-
pient Of the magisterial joke-"Pay your
respects Yes; | am told you never pay any
thing else"

1t Is stated that the rebels at Richmond have

and one ounce of meat dinner, rations, four

tons of potatoes only were served in ten DAYS.
1t is stated that the coffee, alter having hot

and barreled, and sold for sl4 per barrel, when
it was probably resold to the Government
The teamsters have been supplied with pu-

1t is reported that high officers are implicated
in this fraud, aud the investigation now going
on will bring the offenders to justice
The Herald's Washington dispatch says it is
reported that the military authorities are TAX
ins steps for the prevention of further execu-
tons of prisoners by inaugurating retaliatory
measures. Kellogg, who was hung in Rich
mond recently, was captured while in the per-
Torrance of his legitimate duties as an officer,
and it is believed here that a rebel of equal
rank will be selected for execution as soon as
the necessary arrangements are made.
