The HERDS Mother.


WITH what quick throngng hopes, what wishes
wild,
The mother, gazing on her first-born son,
Dreams of glorious future for her child
goal Of triumph for the race begun
The worlds new savior lies in quiet Sleep
Clasped to heart that knows no fear or care:
Upward those little feet their way shall keep,
Nor sin nor sorrow faint the mountain air.
Oh, weeping mother Of that island home!
That home SO beautiful so desOlate
All that thou couldst have dreamed or prayed Is
come;
All that thou couldst have asked is given by
fate.
Wouldst thou the hero'S crown, the martyrs
paint
The sanity aureole, loves myrtle WREATH
All rest with that brave hand, that brow, whose
calm
Told of the steadfast faith that dwelt beneath.
Tic sleeps with those he loved and died to save I!
Oh, land of youthful heroes! Hast thou known
A purer sacrificed nobler gravel
A heart more Singly true, or more thine own
An, not in vain thy children die for thee,
Youth, beauty, genius in the gulf are cast,
That yawns before the footsteps Of the free
And the best sacrifice is still the last.
Oh mother Of the soldier Of the cross.
Weep not with bitter tears thy fallen son;
Let faith and hope shed reliance on thy loss,
And wait the Future that his blood has won.

important questions under the Ashburton

JONI MORGAN, the noted rebel, escaped
from the Columbus, Ohio, Penitentiarv
where he was confined, Oh the night of Nov
9th. and succeeded in getting to Canada with
several of his comrades.
They, by patient labor for nearly four
weeks, with small pocket knives lad dug
through the floor Of their cells, composed Of
about one foot of stone or brick, down into a
four-fOOt sewer.
Two weeks ago one of the escaped prison
ers asked he guard for few boards to cover
the bottom of the cells. giving as an excuse
that the damp stone was injuring their health
The unsuspicious guard granted their re-
quest. The boards were used to cover up
the holes they were cutting. On The night
OF their final escape, on retiring to their sew
eral cells Dick Morgan managed to change
with his brother John, from the upper to the.
lower tier. After getting into the sewer they
crawled to the heavy grating and masonry at
its mouth and found they could not escape by
that route. They, however made a hole up
ward to heavy pile OF coal, which rolled in
on them to such an extent that they werc
forced to 90 further back into the ward.
They then excavated the soft earth clear IN
der the main wal and so closely was the
distance calculated that they came out INTO
the open road one foot from the foundation.
One Of the party, Capt. Haincs, was by trade
a brick-mason, and seems TO have had the

Gecrgi. and the Southeast are threatened in the

Of - Unconditional Surrender Grant
Tonight the estimate Of captures is several
thousand prisoners and 80 pieces Of artillery.
Our loss for so great a victory Is not severe.
Bragg is firing the railroad as he retreats to
wards Dalton. Sherman IS in hot pursuit.
To-day viewed the battlefield, which extends
for SIX miles along Missionary Ridge, and for
several miles on Lookout Mountain.
Probably not so well directed. 50 well orlered
battle has taken pace during the war. But
one assault was repulsed; but that assault, by
calling to that point the rebel reserves, prevent
ed them from repulsing any OF the others.
few days since Bragg sent 10 Gen. Grant a
flag Of truce advising HIM that il would be pru-
dent TO remove any non-combatants who might
still be in Chattanooga. No reply has been re-
turned; but the combatants having removed
from thus vicinity, it Is probable that non-com-
batants can remain without imprudence.
