Carleton" Of the Boston Journal,
says that Hooker's plan was to fight
defensive battle, to let the enemy
exhaust himself in attacking, and then
fall upon him with fresh divisions and
cut him in pieces. 1t was essential to
the success of his plan that Stoneman
should succeed. He had no tidings
from Stoneman, and therefore delayed
to strike. Meantime the storm came

back.

rushing after the flying rebels !:

The above remark is often made by
correspondents and advertisers as an
excuse for halfspelling words, abbrevi-
ating technicalities, and slovenly, un-
readable writing generally. There is
no doubt that printers are better deci-
pherers of bad manuscript than any
other persons but when, for instance,
a merchant writes that he has received
five BITS, ten pounds Cls., it is some
what difficult to tell whether the mer-
chant really means boots, biscuits or
butternuts ; chalk, cheese or churn
cloves, clocks or clans. Don't pre-
sumo too much on the ability of the
printer.

Death on the Battle Field.
would not lie on bed of down,
Like a pulling girl TO die
would not die i'm the festal hall,
Midst mirth and revelry.
would not die an aged man,
With strength and reason gone
Nor like a self devoted monk,
In convent cell alone.
long upon the battlefield
In foremost rank to fall.
Midst charge of horse and clang of arms,
My banner for my pail
Or give me on the bloody deck
Triumphantly to die,
When falling spars and crashing wreck
Proclaim our victory
The following stanza were written as q re.
ply TO the above:
II Is not on the battlefield
That would wish to die;
1t Is not on a broken shield
I'd breathe out my last sigh.
And though soldier knows not how
To dread soldiers doom,
/ ask no laurel for my brow,
No trophy for my tomb .....
II Is not that scorn the wreath
A soldier proudly wears
It Is not that fear the death
A soldier proudly dares.
When slaughtered comrades round me lie
I'd be the last to yield;
But yet would not wish to die
Upon the battlefield
When faint and bleeding in the fray,
Oh still let me retain
Enough of life to find my way
To this sweet vale again.
For like the wounded, weary dove,
That fiutters to its nest,
fain would reach my own dear love,
And die upon her breast.
