"Ba NV Mother TIL I Die. -

THIS is Il title of a new and truly beautiful
Wal ballad. 1t is founded upon one of the most
touching incidents Of the recent battle OF Gettys-
burg, After the fight Onion private OF rare
soul and abilities, mortaly wounded, was taken
to the house of q Union family. This family
comprises three orphan sisters Of eighteen,
thirty, aud thirty-hve. At their hands he re-
ceivcd every attention, and found the comforts
Of n home. Three hours after being brought to
this place, and having had his wounds dressed
by surgeon, the ladies took their sewing and sat
uear the bedside Some time before his death
the soldier, looking them in the face with tender
est emotion, uttered the substance Of the fol-
lowing beautiful ballad;
Ladies', some one ts my mother,
Then twill seem that nm ut home
Pm imagine I'm brother,
Hearing each familiar tone,
But want mother near me,
With that Heaven in her eye,
Ladies' some one be my mother,
BE my mother till die.
CnoRus.-NOw feel my wound is mortal,
Soon I'll breathe my parting sigh ;
Ladies', some one be my mother,
BE my mother TIL die.
Long before | was soldier,
Long before l fought aud bled,
In one cottage all the dear ones,
Thus would gather round my bed,
Do not treat me as n stranger,
Let me feel brothers ue
One Of you l want ns mother,
BE my mother till Idle.
CnoRus.-Soon no wicked war will harm me,
Angels bringing peace are nigh
Ladies', some one be my mother,
lie my mother till die

WE uAyE OFTEN asserted that the grand
purpose Of the Southern leaders is to estab-
lsh II form of government which shall OK
clude the working poor man from all poiti-
cal privileges. This seems bold and start
ling hut any one who has read the Consti-
tuition Of the bogus Conlrdcmcy and the
comments Of the Southern press, from time to
time, cannot be it, much doubt on this point.
1t Is in the interest OF the geutlemcn slave
holders Of the South that this sanguinary
rebellion was inaugurated and is being car
ried on. tits TO build up government for
gentlemen over serls and slaves. Under
such government all incentives 10 labor
and sell-sustvuanca are taken away and tile
poor white man becomes the ycriest depen-
dent upon the will Of his s!aye-driying lords
md masters.
1t is evident that there are those in the
South who see the inevitable tendency of
things to the most heartloss and oppressive
despotism. The following items, from a
Richmond authority, is instructive on this
point -
The Richmond Examiner, of the 18th ult..
says that on Saturday, the 10th ult., very
large and spontaneous meeting of the me
chanics and workingmen Of Richmond was
held to consider their interests and obtain a
free expression of the sentiments Of the peo.
pie generally.
From the resolutions passed, we select tho
two following
R''olpA That awakened to a sense of the
ahJect posture to which labor and we who
labor have been reduced, and to the priyj.
leges which as citizens and people the in.
stltutions Of our country vest in us. we viii
not sleep again until our grasp las firmly
clenched the rights ana immunities which
are ours us Americans and men: until our
just demands have been met by the conces.
sions of all opposing elements.
Resoieei That it IS the duty of the Govern.
ment to take care Of the unfortunate, and not
the rich.
There is fire whence this smoke issues
and it will yet burst into Il flame. 1t is from
all danger of such despotism as slave-mon.
gers would fasten upon the people that W,
would be delivered. Let ue then keep tra,,yr.
from office.

NEVER HAS THERE been political cam
paign in our State which so appealed to tho
interest Of our people as the present. The
Copperheads Of the State as if not satisfied
with mocking the loyalty of freemcn by put
ting before them traitor for the high Office
Of Congressman, have been to the trouble of
importing a foreigner who had cleft his
country for his countrys good,n who had be-
come so obnoxious to the loyal people Of a
helghbonng State, by reason of his political
lnirguery and corruption, that they were
too glad to be rid Of him Charles Brown
now seeks TO misrepreseut the freemen OF
Delaware in the Congress Of the United
States, and he asks Delawareans TO helm him
to that high Office. Let every man think
twice before he commits himself to any such
work. There is no true interest of this
proud little State that will not be leopard
lied by the election of this Secession candi-
date. On the other hand, our reputation
will be injured abroad, and the cause of
moial, social and material progress seriously
retarded Freemeu Of the Diamond State !

YOUNG GIRLs ENTICED OrF,

On Saturday last six or eight young girls mys-
teriously disappeared from this city and Putnam.
One of them fortunately left note in her room,
stating that they were going in charge of a cnp
tain TO the South, TO act rs nurses in Il military
hospital The parents OF the young adyentur-
ers were ngoniEed with grief wbcn they had DIS
covered they Ind gone, and Immediately gis-
patched some gentlemen after them. By last
evenings Columbus Exprts, We learn that two
girls supposed to belong to the party, ohe hail
ing from Zauesyile and the other from Putnam,
were arrested at the depot in this city on snlur-
dny afternoon, dressed in military apparel They
had large quantity Vt letters froN anonymous
correspondents, who are in the army, and, judg
ing from the tenor Of the communications aud
the actions Of the girls, there il no doubt but
what they were enliced away from their COM
Portable homes BY that romantic but decidedly
injurious pleasure OF answering or inserting ai-
Vertsements headed, "Wauted Correspondence "
They lad purchased tickets for Cincinnati ~
Their exposure appears to have leen taken very
hard by them, and in reality they were ou their
way to join their pretended lovers. The Llprtss
says they behaved very modesily and appeared
to be, us they really nre, highly rcspectable.--

Delaware what Mr.. Nallandigham was To
ohio-a politician opposed to the Govern
ment opposed 10 the war, opposed TO The
people. Unlike Mr.. Na!iandirbam he is
not banshed for giving aid to the enemy
but lie deserves TO be banished at least from
the trust ol the people, for giving comfort TO
our foes. MIR. Brown is avowedly N invor
OF patching mp peace in any way possible ::
he wants the war ended, and cares NOTHING

publicly scorned the name Of War Democrnt
and II Delaware does not do as well as Ohio,

brown could not do much harm to the Union

IL IS not merely that Mr. Brown is unfit 10
hold an Office in the gift of loyal State, but
that few men, however faithful and intelli-
