The Expedition from New Or
leans.

The feet which left New Orleans on
the 9th uhimo consists of sixteen steam
ships and large number of briggs and
schooners as tenders. The number of
troops on board is of course not stated.
Three ships of war-tho Monongahels,
Ow SEQ. and Virginia accompany the
squadron. Major Gen. Banks is in
command of the expedition. The fol-
lowing order was issued before its de-
parture
"TmmcdiateIy after anchoring on tho
encmy's coast, all boats will be cleared
away; transports towing steam tugs will
cast them off, and those towing schoon.
ers will baul them up and await orders.
The soldiers will be provided with four
days cooked rations. This will be neg
essary, as there will be probably no fuel
on shore. Their canteens will also be
filled with good water, and they will be
cautioned to be careful in the use of it.
The men be formed, with arms, in good
order, and bayonets in the scabbard.-
They will then step into the small boats
and be rowed ashore, Every soldier will
be supplied with the fall amount of for
ty rounds of ammunition in his cartridge
box, and those who are on board Of trans
ports which carry ammunition will carry
twenty rounds extra in their knapsacks."

The Dying Soldier.

Yes raise me on your arm, Dick Dale'
NV comrade old and true,
And let me, of the glad earth take
One last and lingering view;
When yet few brief moments more
or this fitting hour have fled,
You II shed an old friends :ears Dick Dale,
Above your comrade dead.
We've fought together, side by side,
In many bloody fray,
From Malvern Hill dark hour of strife,
TO fierce Antietam's day.
And when again the "long roll" calls
For battle to prepare,
Yuu will not fail the flag Dick Dale,
But shall not be there.
You will not soon forget me Dick,
know it hy that sigh:
| know it by those tears which shine
In your half avertel eye.
But my dear old comrades heart will swell
know with honest pride,
WEeE he thinks that tor the grand Old flag
His old companion died
Cut off this light brown lock, Dick Dale
For the girl who watts at home.
Yes hoping waits her soldier love,
Who never more can come.
Twill soothe perhaps her bleeding tears,
70 know that watched by you,
The boy she loved ut least has died
With one who loved him too.
You'll visit all the quaint Oh n""ks
We sought when we we're boys,
And thoughts of tnc will come D''F Dale,
With thoughts of clildhooh's joys;
And when you reach the old play ground
Where once we used to play,
You'll not forget your friend, Dick Dale,
In his lone grave far away
