SONG OF TIE SOLDIERS.

SONG OF THE SOLDIERS.
Comrades known in marches many,
Comrades tried in dangers many
Comrades bound BY dangers many,
Brothers ever let US be
Wounds or sieknessma divide Us,
Marching orders may divide Us,
But, whatever fate betide US,
Brothers Of the heart are we.
Comrades known by faith the elearest,
Tried when death vas near and nearest.
Bound We are by ties the dearest, =
Brothers ever more 10 be:
And, if spared and growing older,
Shoulder still in line with shoulder,
And with hearts no thrillthe colder,
Brothers ever We shall be.
By communion Of the banner
Battle Scared but victor banner,
Blythe baptism Of the banner,
Brothers VI one church are We
Greed nor faction eau divide US, 81
Race nor language can divide US;
Still. Wbatever fate betids US, g
Brothers Of the flag are We!

CURING HAMS.

As the time is at hand for preparing
these useful stores of rich and savorv
food. few words will not he out Of
place in regard to them. The legs Of
hogs short in the hook are the best for
hams, and should be chosen in prefer
ence to lanky legs. They may be salted
by immersion in clean pickle contain
ing little sugar and saltpetre dissolved,
or they may be salted by rubbing ground
solar evaporated salt over them, turning
them every day, and giving them q
good rubbing. A little sugar and
ground pepper added to the salt much
improves the flavor of the meat. 1t re-
quires about month to salt hams by the
wet process, and three weeks by the
dry system. AT the end of this period,
they should be hung up few days to
drip, and they are ready for smoking.
Much depends on the kind of material
used for smoking them. SO as to secure
sweet flavor. Whatever fuel is used for
this purpose, one condition should never
be overlooked it should be perfectly
dry, else it will be apt to impart bitter
taste to the meat. Dry corn-cobs, and
some dry sweet hay, are superior to all
other agents that we have seen employed
for smoking beef or hams.
Mutton hams may be prepared in the
same manner as those of pork, and they
are exceedingly palatable when the meat
is good. aud care exercised to smoke
them slowly.

CuRE FOR Hoo CHoLERA.-The Petersburg
Intelligencer says the following receipt, now
for the first time made public, may be relied
upon as a specific for the hog cholera. 1t had
been fully tried and tested on the hogs of a
gentleman of Amherst, Va.
The remedy was given in all varied stages
of the disease, uniformly cured in every case.
It will not be impossible, after all the fruit
less efforts hitherto made to find out a rene
dy for Asiatic cholera, that this one accident
ally suggested by young lady to her father
in Amherst, Va, and which was successful
in curing the hogs, may be equally so in Gu
ring man Of that terrible disease-choera.
"ReeiPe-Beat up an ounce or more of as
safetida, and add say to an ounce pint of
whiskey or other kind of spirits, and give to
the hog two table spoonfnls it produces an
immediate relief, and speedy and permanent
cure. The effect which this drencE had on
the hogs spoken of was to cause them to
vomit the most disgusting and loathsome
mass of matter conceivable from its stomach,
when an immediate reaction took place and
the hogs were coon entirely we'll.

ES- A co'emporary observes that We
have suffered nothing yet compared with
what our fathers suffered in the first war
for independence. Then we bad the
savage Indians at our backs, the tories
over our own hearth-stones and fair
aud open enemy in our front. Augusta,
Savannah, Charleston. Camden and
"Nirety.Six," were all then British posts,
and Georgia and South Carolina were
occupied almost entirely for three long
dreary years. Yet, heroic ancestry
rose from our valleys and descended
from our hills, trusting in God, and re-
solved to perish rather than survive as
slaves. and they drove our couquerors
from the soil; and SO we can do, even
should our land be overrun by vandals
Ii we are not bastard race our freedom
is our own, even if every male has to
sleep on his bright sword. and every fe,
male wear at her side a cleaning dag
ger. 1t is great mistake TO suppose
that this war is to be settled by long
range cannon or heavy shell. Even if
our Notifications fall and our towns are
taken, we will come at last to close
quarters, with the battle axe and DO vie
knife, and fight under the black flag in
every glen aud swamp. The watchword
hen shall be war to the knife and knife
o the hilt.

mo- Further Fighting on the Rspidan.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Evening Post Of the 1st,
says the, courier, employed by the newspa-
pers,, came in from Gen. Meade's hesdquar-
ters early Il is morning. He left the south
side of the Rapidan yesterday morning, and
no serious fighting had occurred mp to that
hour. 1t was not then believed that Meade
would attack Lee before to-day, and it was
considered possible that no battle would be
fought, as the army only carried rations for
a verN brief campaign. 1t will have to fight
soon or fall hack for fresh supplies. 1t is
possible that when Meade has finished the
work he has undertaken, he will fall back
upon Fredericksburg, though nothing is
known upon that point. At 5 o'clock this
evening the Government has received moth
ing from the Rapidan, aud in official circles
this fact is accepted as favorable, rather than
the contrary.

THE SECRET OF LONGEVITY.

! The smeans known, so far, of promoting
| Longevity, have usually concentrated in short
pithy sayings--as "keep your head cool ant
your feet warm"-hWork much and eat lit
| te,p &C., Just as if the whole science 0
human life could be summed up and brough
put in a few words, while its great principle.
were kept ont of sight. 0ae ot the best o.
these sayings is given by an Italian in his
hundred and sixteenth year, who being ask.
ed the reason of his living 50 long, replieo
with that improvisation for which his ceun-
try is remarkable:
When hungry, of the best eat,
And dry aud warm | keep my feet
screen my head from sun and rain,
And let few cares perplex my brain.
The following Is about the best theory of
the matter: Every man is born with Ger
tain stock Of vitality, which cannot be iu-
creased, but may be husbanded. With this
stock he may live fast or sow--may live ex
.tensvely or intensivey-m spread his lit
tie amount of life over large space, or mar
row it into a contracted one; but when this
stock is exhausted he has no more. EIe who
lives extensively, drinks. pure water, avoids
all infammatory diseases, exercises sufficient
" bnt not laboriously, INDUCES no exhausting
passions, feeds on no exciting material, pur-
sues no debilitatiug pleasures, avoids all la
borious and protracted study, preserves an
easy mind, and thus husbands his quantum
of vitality, will live considerably longer than
he otherwise would do, because be lives slow;
while he, on the other hand, who lives in
tensely, who beverages himself on liquors
and wines, exposes himself to infiammatory
diseases, or causes that produce them, labors
beyond his strength, visits exciting scenes
and irdulges exhausting passions, and lives
on stimulating and highly seasoned food, is
always debilitated by his pleasure.

"MoRE MARTYRS NEEDED."-Henrv
Ward Beecher, in his recent fraternity
lecture in Boston, said: ave need more
martyrs; we need moro bloodshed.-
Boodshed is the wine Of the nations
God feeds them on blood" Now, says
the Newburyport Herald rep }, why does
not this man make martyr Of himself?
Why does he not shed little of his own
bloodl In no way could he do his coun-
try more service, for his utterances Cor
years have tended to bring US TO our pres
ent position. Good care does he take TO
keep himself out of danger, while he talks
SO bravely-so devilishly-in the Plymouth
Church and the fremont Temple. Ask
the wife who lost her husband, and pa
rents who mourn sons, and they cannot
talk so flippantly of blood as this minis
ter Of The "meek and loaOly Jesus" II
his God is one who feeds the nations
with blood" it explains much of his
preaching.

the people impossible except upon terms
that defy law and violate constitutional
obligations, are treacherous to their trust,
the country and people, and should be
denounced and overthrown,
This is precisely the crime of the adj
mistration. They have betrayed the gov
eminent into the keeping of conspirators
who have always denounced il and
wrought for its subversion. How could
it be otherwise than that the people sho'd
resist such treachery, and endeavor to
avert its consequences How could it be
otherwise than that the loyal States sho'd
refuse their support 10 measures that must,
if persistently urged, make the re-estab-
lishment Of the government impossible?
1t was this treachery Of the administra-
ton that divided the North. The peo-
pie have supported the war against the
rebellion for tho maintenance of the gov
eminent. The administration are urging
the war against Shareholders, for the de-
struction Of the government.
Between such radical extremes there
can be no compromise. The administra-
ton or the people must yield, or this war
must cease. We cannot conquer the uni
ted South with divided North. None
but fools and blind will entertain any
such idea. II the abolitionists and the
administration wish to conquer the rebel
lion and restore the government, they may
do so by yielding TO the will Of the peo-
pie and the requirements Of the constitu-
ton. They cannot do SO by trampling
upon the constitution and defying the
people. Until this submission by the ad-
ministration, the fact is evident to the
world that they prefer the sacrifice of the
government to the surrender of their own
partisan schemes Chicago Times.
