TRUE LOVE CAN NEVER DIE.

BY T. B. JAcEMAN.
True love can never die
In youth l felt its holy flame;
! know that stoics lie
For love with me is still the same.
Some twenty years or more ago,
When l was young and gay,
felt its power then; | know
| feel the same to-day.
When life, as opening buds, is sweet
Oh! who would not commune,
And greet with smiles and kisses sweet,
When hearts are just in tune?
"Shall old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind -
While fancy wakes the pleasing thought,
OF youth and love refined?
The dearest souls | ever knew,
| loved in days of yorc;
y Although they were cherished few,
| love them cvermore.
My heart was made for friendship dear
! cannot help it now
love the friends of virtue here,
And who shall disallow?
Once childhood's joys l knew,
But now my youthful days are fled;
My love is warm and true
l feel, know, it is not dead
Bright spirits did with me commune,
And oftentmes we kssed
For love our cheerful souls did tune,
And how could we resist?
True love will never die,
While we in blessed hope aspire
But shine in friendships eye,
The springs of virtuous desire.
In that bright land where spirits live,
Love beams in every eye
And pure untailing pleasures give,
From fountains never dry.

THE SITUATION IN mHDBLE TEN

any definite information as to the actual result Of the
last battle bstween BRAGG and RosEcRANz, which oc-
CURED on the 2d INST. We know nothing Of the extent
OF cur own loss, nor, Indeed, OF the position Of our
army, or Of its ability to make a successful stand. The

ortng, Is If hey were n manufactured for the purpose Of

but beyond the short announcement that it "will reach

j. is evident that our earlier advantages were not
pursued, or that RosEcRAEz was reinforced to such an
extent as to make The retreat Of Gen. BRAGG a pruden-
1ial necessity. True. we had been informed that ROSE
cRAEz's communication had previously been cut of,
that bis army was in a starving condition. and thas he
would be forced to fight or retreat. Now 1t turns out

The Yankee Army.
We find In,
States paper

We find ihe following in a late number Of a United
States paper
Nh. Stanton, in his report. says he has 100000 men I'M
der arms. This statement suggests some figuring. I'm
dsr the three calls Of the President there were ll75,00O
men ordered out, 300 thousand Of whom were to be
drafted. These, if all are in the field, added to the reg
ular army would make a tota' Of say I,25O,O00. But Of
the 100000 drafted men there are not probably over
10000 yet mustered into The service.
DR.. Below, superintendent of the SAM airy Commits
sion, states that 56,DOo men are sick, and according 10
the New York Times, 10000 are s~tragglers and desert-
ers, making in these three items alone, 10000 men,
which, dedicted from the 1850 600 Of the entire levy,
would leave 10000. + on this we must further de-
duct the deud and wounded during the existence Of the
war which few readers viii be disposed to place az less
than 200 to 100 thousand, and many at considerably over
these. These are plain facts, and would show that the
War Department keeps troops ia pay on paper, who
did within s week past. in disgrace officers aRd me1
killed in battle, and dead six months, without It's knowi-
edge or record
Another 2 atement OF the Yankee army is sugge ted
by Stanton; figures. He says he has 100000 men IN.
der arms. we presume this means that this is the num-
Der now on the muster rolls. Now If 100000 have
been mustered into the service, as above stated, since
the war commenced, the figures confess thai three hun
dred thousand men have been killed, wounded, and per-
manently disabled on the part Of the enemy sioce the
war began. A fearful host of sacrifices, but probably
under the true number.
Of the 100000 low on the rolls and drawing pay, we
are told above $4,000 are sick and 10000 are strag-
Cling or deserters. Add 10000 for our surplus of pris-
ouers, now considerably increased) and we have a de-
dueton Of 350OOO 70 make in order 10 gel at the efficient
strength Of tie army. So that the enemy would seem

Of some movement to diminish the consumption Of

it was agreed to adjourn to meet again on the 4h day Of
February next, at Augusis, Ga. We hsvs already sS-
pressed our views upon the importance Of ssms or.
ganization or system, by which the puhlio can BE- fur.

done. But the press eaa have an sssOoiatiIn BY which
it can be better supplied with ielssraphic news, and va
