On the Geld of battle, Mother,
All the night alone | lay
Angels watching DER me, Mother,
'Till the breaking Of the day,
l lay thinking Of you, Mother,
And the loving ones a home
Till to our dear cottage mother,
Boy again seemed to come.
He, 20 whom you taught me, mother,
On my infant knees to pray
Kept my heart from fainting, mother,
When the vision passed away.
In the gray of morning, mother,
Comrades bore me to the town;
From my bosom, tender fingers,
Washed the blood that trickled down.
must soon be going, mother,
Going 10 the home of rest
Kiss me, as'of old, my mother,
Press me nearer to my breat
Would could repay you, mother,
For your faithful love and care
God uphold and bless you, mother,
In the bitter woe you bear.
Kiss for me my little brother,
Kiss my sister, loved so we'll;
When you sit together, mother,
Tell them how their brother fell.
Tell to them the story, mother,
When sleep beneath the sod
That died to save my country,
All from love to her and God.
Leaning on the merit, mother,
OF the One who died for all
Peace is in my bosom, mother,
Hark, hear the angel call,
Don't you hear them singing, mother
Listen to their music's swell;
Now leave you, loving mother,
God be with you, fare thee well

lt<noQSkS OF non y. ~ G1IMIS, IN ue Sfn0te
fa9-q cTF6. II, 1863.
Mr. GRIMES. have few words to say to
the Senate on the bill now under consideration.
shal be brief, and endesvor to speak to the
subject in hand. What real objection can be
urged against the policy of granting letters Of
mafque against an enemy that may not be urged
against the employment Of the militia upon
landl I can imagine none Do not vessels
carrying letters Of marque have our commits
pioni Do they not call under our flag. Are
they not manned by our ::countrymsn Are
they not responsible to our laws! Must not
their captures be condemned under our admi-
rally laws and in our own courtsl l. aeiss
Doubtless the nations Of Europe Who were
parties to the treaty of Paris in 1856, and who
port, would be pleased to enter into the treaty
stipulations with % by which We also would
place our entire reliance upon regular army
Shall We crafty them in this regard also!
Shall We abandon our militia because they do.
and impoverish ourselves BY the support Of i'm
mense standing armiesi If We will not, if We
adhere to our traditisnary policy, and rely upon
the citizen soldiery - the cheapest and best
national protection, Why shall No not also ad-
here to our ancient policy in regard to letters
q narque and the "militia ofthe seas!" Because
England and France, compelled % they are to
support immense navies, find il convenient to
establish new rule for their future guidance,
shall We, at their polite suggestion, subject our
selves to new rules and to additional burdens
They are able to support large nayiea They
are compelled to support them. Their very
proximity to each other constrains them TO do
70. They need no greater protection on the
seas than their present naval establishments
afford to them. They can well say to weaker
naval powers than themselves, and especially to
those possessing large commercial marine
needing protection in time of war, that the
practice and policy Of issuing letters of marque
should be considered obsolete and be abolished
But can We Afford to say 90? Can We afford to
declare that when war shall exist between or
and any foreign nation our whole merchant ms!
rine shall rot ct our wharves, and no private
vessel be commissioned to 60 forth 20 an armed
volunteer upon the sea to meet our nations enc.
my? Ask the mercnants Of New England and
New York if they can afford it
The attempt is made to render this well.set-
tied practice of issuing letters Of marque by ma
lions in time Of war odious, by calling vessels t,
which they are issued, ''privsteers,'.. ''semi-
pirates" marine highwaymen." With wha
justice can these epithets be applied to then
when they sail under our Gag, carry our commits
sieD, obey our instructions, and are amensble Il
our lawss
But it is said that they receive the compensa
tion for their services in the booty they Capture

count many Of my oldest and most cherished
personal frienda -
The promise of 8 new Confederacy has no
charms for the people of Iowa Of any political
persuasion. They abide by the Union in its In.
tegrity. They will not follow false prophets into
disunion and anarchy. Presumptuous political
leaders may for q time beguile the unwary and
engender local discontents, but loyal public
sentiment will soon rectify all such evils. The
great mas of the people of that State, irrespec.
tive of party ties or afinities, have ventured
their all in behalf of the unity Of this Govern
ment. They have given freely of their blood
IN its support. They will never consent to it's
dismemberment. They ask me to place IN the
hands of the President all the necessary means
to maintain it intact. obey their voise when
l give my vote for the passage OF this bill.

This ID true in part and Il IL true also Of every
ship Of war that floats or that ever fosted be-
longing to Great Britain OF to the United States
By our laws one half of the value of oil property
Of an enemy captured on the seG is the lawful
prize Of the captors. Has that fact caused our
naval officers to tarnish their reputation or that
of their profession by unmanly acts OF cupidity
or barbarity? Will it be said that volunteer
officers are more likely to be guilty OF improper
conduct than those who hold commissions in the
regular service? If indeed it be true that such
application Of the proceeds of captured property
is immoral, and if it be true that the receiver of
goods improperly obtained is a. guilty as he
who obtains them, il would require the incest
casuistry to determine that We ourselves, who
receive one half of the value of the captured
goods in the one case, are not morally as guilty
Is the priYateer who receives the whole value
in the other. The immortality Of the act would
hardly be lessened BY division of the spois.
The truth is, M. President, there is no moral
principle involved in this matter. What differ
ence does it make - me whether my vessel is
captured by seventy.four gun ship, with an ad.
mirsl in command, or by fishing smack, armed
with blunderbuss, provided both are governed
BY the same laws, and responsible to the same
authority for the exercise Of the power which
capture gives to them How does the division
of the proceeds of the capture among the captors
affect me, or affect the legality OF the morality
Of the capture itself? 49,.
i, We are told that this proposition is agaiust
the public sentiment of the age-that it Will en-
courage unciviized warfare. All warlike acts
are uncivil. War, in its best conditions. is only
organized, legal barbarism. Still, war Is neces-
sary Does Il make and difference to me wheth-
er meet in hostile army recent volunteer, or
an antagonist who has all his life been trained
to martial deeds, provided each fight under the
same banner. carries commission issued BY the
same authority, and 10 bound BY the same laws
of war? In what manner can civilization or
Christianity be affected one way or the other!
Private armed vessels carrying letters OF
marque are in effect national vessels. They are
not let loose against mere unarmed commerce
for its destruction. They are to be the pickets
of the great naval armada of the nation. They |
are to procure Information, convey intelligence,
annoy the enemy, cripple his resources, attack
small armed ships, assist in maintaining block. !
ldss, and in this way materially aid to enforce
peace. In the revolutionary war, as we'll as in
The war of 1S12-lS, American privateets At
lacked and destroyed armed vessels of the Brit
sh Navy. Will We say that it may never be
done again?
It is said that We can readily secure all Of the
advantages that might be derived from the pas
sage of this bill by authorizing the Secretary Of
