PEcrFULLY DEDICATED TO THE WAR CLERG

Oh. God of Battles! once again
With banner trump, and drum,
With garments in Thy wine press dyed,
To give Thee thanks, we come.
No goats or hulocks, garlanded,
Unto Thine affairs go;
With brothers blood by brothers shed,
Our glad ibations flow.
From Pest-house and from dungeon foul,
Where MANNED and torn they die;
From goary trench and charnel house,
Where, heap on heap, they lie
In every groan that yields a SOUL
Each shrek heart that rends,
With every breath of tainted air.
Our homage, Lord ascends.
We thank Thee for the sabres cash,
The cannon's havoc wild;
We bless Thee for the widows tears,
.4nd want that StarVeS her child.
We give Thee praise that Thou hast lit
The torch. and famed the fame;
That lust and rapine hunt their prey.
Kind Father. in thy ame.
That. for the songs of idle Joy
False angels sang of yore,
Thou sendest War or Earth; i'll will
To mon, forever more!
We know that wisdom, truth and right!
To us and ours is given,
That thou hast clothed us with the wrath,
To do the work of Heaven
We know that plains and cities waste,
fire pleasant in thine eyes
Thou low st a hearthstone desolate.
Thou low q mourners cries.
Let not our weakness fall below
The measure of Thy will,
And while the press hath wine to bleed.
Oh, tread it. with US. still
Teach us TO hate-as Jesus taught
Fond feolls, of yore to love
Give us thy vengeance as our own
Thy pity hide above?
Teach us to turn with reeking hands,
The pages Of Thy word,
And learn the blessed curses there,
OF them that sheath the sword
Where'er we tread may deserts spring,
Till none are left to slay,

The Road to Reese River.

We are informed by gentleman who is
Just in from Reese River, that the road from
DAYTON to Austin is lined with wagons and
vehicles Of every description. Mills, lumber
and provisions of all kinds are on the wav
The sand has been ground up into an almost
mpalpable powder; and in places the dust is
fully two feet deep. When Gust of wind
comes it is impossible to see the horses
drawing conveyance, through the rolling
clouds. The trip, through the dust, sun and
alka is worse than journey for the same
distance over the desert of Sahara. A
train of ten .cames is now on the way. and
the driver told our informant that the ami
mails suffered more than they possibly could
on the wastes of Arabia. There is not a
spear of grass on the route, and teamsters
are obliged to haul hay and grain as they
90. Those who travel in wagons have bard
tin,es of it, riding all day in the dust and
sleeping on the sand at night And passen-
gers in the stage fare but little better
Those who look upon the trip there as but a
journey of pleasure, during which they can
see the country, etc, and enjoy themselves
will be wofully disappointed, The roads
NAV get better after while when the rain
sets in, but at present they are in terrible
condition. 1t is worth fortune to 90 there
and back. At many places along the line
are dead animals, and others en- route will
never be able to get through How women
are able to accomplish the trip as well as
they do, is a mystery. And yet the crowd
continues and is increasing every day. Re
cent developments made there are said to
be rich beyond precedent. Almost all the
lodges pay from the surface, and miners
get returns without much outlay of capital,
or being compel led to pay heavy assessments
If the leads prove to be well defined, aud do
not run out, Reese river is destined to te "a
