The Old Farm Gate.

Where, where is the gate thas once used to di
vide
The old shady lane from the grassy road side
like not this gate so gay and so bright,
With its sltterng latch and its trellis so white
1t is pretty / own, yet, oh dearer by far,
Was the red rusted hi ges, and the weather
warped bar
Here fashion and form of modernized date,
But I'd rather have looked on that old farm
gate.
Twas there where my sisters would gather to
play
In the shadow of twilight, or sunny mid day.
How we'd laugh and run wild mid those hill
locks of sand,
Where temptations existed no child could with
stand
But to swing on the gate rails, to Chamber and
ride,
Was the utmost of pleasure, of glory and pride,
And the car of the victor or carriage of state,
Never carried such hearts as the old farm gate
Oh fair is the barrier taking its place,
But it darkens picture my soul longed TO
trace.
I sigh to behold the rough staple and hasp,
And the rails that my glowing hand scarcely
could clasp,
Oh how strangely the warm spirit grudges to
With the commonest relic once linked to the
heart
And the brightest of fortune, the kndliest fate,
Would not banish my love for the old farm gate.

Slavery is War. This is the truth of
history-the necessity of human nature.
Our fathers died leaving war in the land
and we, when we were born, received
as our birthright Inheritance this days
legacy OF civil war. But we are coming
to Peace-the one and only peace-the
peace whose spirit is justice. The chains
shall be broken, and the oppressed shall
lift their hands TO heaven in gratitude
for deiverance. Great will be Meir gain
but greater still the nations. The ma
ton, tested in these trials, at last shall
stand proved. Passing out of these
flames, it shall be purer, like the gold Of
the crucible. These are brave days!
Do they carry TOO great sorrow =? They
carry also mercy. Out of the wrath Of
man rises praise to God. War has sub
lime comr ensations. Otherwise it would
be uncomfortable. But, by reason Of
these, it turns its cursing into blessing.
Are the times troubous They are for
putting an end TO troubles Are they
full of unusual burdens? =? They are for
making the yoke easy and the burden
light. We had been living commonplace
lives during a long peace. These great
events are Tor lifting us TO higher
thoughts for inspiring us with mere
Christian aims for sowing the land with
more generous ideas. We shall be the
richer in spirit for the struggle Of flesh
and blood through which we are now
passing. We shall be wiser for the les
son we are now learning. The moral
tone of the nation is to be quickened and
exalted. This is the harvest which shall
come when the fields now red with blood
shall grow green with peace.

Army Of the Potomac.

A gentleman from the Army of the Pc
tomac expresses the opinion that Genera
Meade will, ere long, be on the move. He
says the army is in fine splits, and is ex
pecting the order to advance Generals
Buford and Fitzpatrick have been actively
employed in making cavalry reconDoisances
The roads are in the best condition. An
interesting letter from near Raccoon Ford,
Sept. "a, says:
The rebels doubled their pckets on this
portion of our front to-day. At first we
thought them line of skirmishers, but I
have since become satisfied that it was mere
" precautionary measure to prevent desc
tions. They meant no offence. Ten deser-
tiers have they shot this week. Prisoners
tell US this. But it is not sufficient to pre-
vent them swimming the river and giving
themselves up Ten came in this portion
of our lines to day. To morrow will be
executed, in our lines, for .desertion: Chas
Williams, 4th Maryland; Daniel Sullivan
18th Massachusetts; Herman Barber, 18th
PENNSYLVANIA; Dan. Drights, lst New Jer-
sey; John Tomlins, l45th New York. "a
Ewell's corps, in our front, is estimated
at 10000. This morning they fired upon
our pickets and woundeded one man. 1t
was only few days ago they wounded
lieutenant of the Seventh Michigan and five
men. Our sharpshooters are near now, and
prevent this barbarous practice.

TIle Chattanooga Battle.

The dispatches we publish elsewhere
from the Richmond papers prove one thing
fact which has been hitherto conjecture
only--and that is, that two Of the most ser.
vicable corps Of the rebel army in Virgins
were engaged with Rosecrans near Chatta
nooSa. We refer to those Of Generals
Hill and Longstreet 1t is not an unreason
able Inference that General Lee was thus
weakened by at least twenty thousand men
and that he consented to be thus weakened
only because he knew the Administration
had taken about double that number OF
trooI from General Meade, in his front, to
idle their time away here on pretence Of en-
forcing the draft in New York.
Now, but for this unwise and. as is now
seen, most inopportune depletion of the
Army Of the Potomac, it is probable that
Hill and Longstreets veterans would have
been kept on the Rapdan; and Rosecrans,
instead of fighting drawn battle in Nor
them Georgia, at an immense sacrifice OF
life, might have routed the enemy and driv-
en- him on to Rome or Atlanta.
If jeff Davis had had the command OF
the Potomac Army awhile ago, we do not
see how he could have made more servi-
cable disposition OF them to help the rebel
cause, than the Administration thus made
for HMM sending off so many excellent
soldiers to New York, where they we're of
no earthly use, and thus letting Longstreet
and Hill slip off to reinforce Bragg.-N. 7.

How ROsecrans' Army can be
Reinforced from VickSburg.

with Vicksbur, as the starting point,
there are, first, three hundred and forty
seven miles of steamboating to Memphis,
and next the soldier must embark on the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad. The
distance from Memphis to Chattanooga is
three hundred and nine miles, but the road
Is not in operation throughout the whole
length. Trains run regularly to Corinth
and Julia, the latter one hundred and fit.
teen miles, but tits not unlikely that a
large force may have opened the road as
far as Decatur, some seventy miles further
east. There should, too, by this time, be
railroad communication between Stevenson
and Chattanooga, BY means of the Nash
vile and Central road, the distance be-
tween these two places being thirty seven
miles. But We can hardly reckon on more
than say two hundred miles. if so much Of
railroad transportation between Memphis
and Chattanooga. Our readers may form
an idea from this of the length of time re-
uuired to transfer soldiers from the Army
of the Tennessee to the Army of the Cnm-
berland. 1t is proper to remark that the
movement began several days ago, evel be-
fore there had been any battle between
Rosecrans and Bragg.-Ss. Louis Repub.

strengthen the rose water assurances we
have been having from Washington during
the week, that our foreign relations, even
with France, were never on more friendly
footing. If Louis Napoleon is not giving

giving Semmes and Mafi1t the use of bis
dock yards, we do not know what aid and
comfort means. rs
