battles in front of Chattanooga, two of
which were driven back in considerable dis
order. Gen. Rosecrans. in his dispatches,
impules the loss of the battle to dIsobedi-
enee OF orders on the part of General Nc
Cook, who failed TO occupy an important
position assigned him BY Roseerans. Had
ne done as ordered, Rosecrans's opinion is,
the battle would have resulted in splendid
Union victory. Great anxiety is felt here

LYON COUNTY TO BE ORGANIZED
IMMEDIATELY.

BY the following order from the Com
mander in Chief it will be seen that he in
tends to put Lyon county on war footing
Immediately. This is right. We should
be thoroughly organized and ready for work.
We need this regiment for our protection.
We have letter from Mr.. Buriin game
the Governors Private Secretary, in which
he says: at is not the intention of the
Governor to call the militia force of the
State generally into active service, upon the
Border, but to organize a sufficient number
from the counties bordering upon Missouri
to secure the needed protection. Major
General Mcdowell has been ordered to su-
perintend said organization, and information
has been received at this Office, that no diff
Guilty will be experienced IN creating sufi-
Gent force in the counties indicated, for the
accomplishment of the desired object
Should larger force be necessary than can
be supplied from the border counties (which
is not likely), it is not doubted, indeed it
is certain, that a sufficient number from
adjoining counties will volunteer for this
service, thus precluding the necessity of
calling upon those whose business interests
imperatively require their personal atten-
ton"

Life Sculpture.

Chisel in band stood a sculptor boy
With lis marble block before him,
And his face lit up with smile of joy,
AS an angel dream passed Ger him;
He carved the dream on that shapeless
stone,
With many sharp incisioni
With heavens own light the sculpture
shone,
He had caught that angel vision.
Scuptors of life, are we, ms we stand,
With our souls, uncarved before us,
Wailing the hour, when at Gods COM
n,and,
Our life-dream shall pass Ger It's.
If we carve it then On the yielding stone,
With mary a sharp incisiou,
Its heavenly beauty shall be our own.
Our lives, that angel vision.

MR., BRO WINS MlSuAPS.

, Mr.. Eliphalct Brown was a bachelor
of thirty, five or Whereabouts: one of those
men who seem TO be born to pass through
the world alone Save this peeuliariiy.
there was nothing to distinguish Mr..
Brown from the multitude Of. other
Browns who are born, grow up, aud die
in this world of ours. .....
1t Glanced that Mr.. Brown had oeca-
sion to visit town some fifty miles dis
tant, on matters of business. 1t was his
first visit to the place, and he proposed
stopping fo, day. in order to give him
self an opportunity to lock about.
Walking leisurely along the street he
was all at once accosted by a child Of
five. who ran up to him exclaiming,
Father l want you to buy me some
more sugar candy ,.. t
Father y Was it possible that he, q
bachelor, was addressed by that title :?
He would not believe it.
Who are you speaking to my dear
he inquired of the little girl. - A.'

one surprised. s...

embarrassing. -. ..-..sy

said What is your name?
The child laughed heartily, evidently
thinking it good joke. .....,.

said; but you are going to buy me some
candy. NJ. .7.,--..-.
Yes. yes. Ilr buy you pound if you
won't call me father any more, said
Brown nervously -..-''.-....
The little girl clapped her hands VIII
delight. The promise was all she re-
meInbered. 20 s'e- '''' '-
Mr., Brown proceeded to the confect-
toner's aud actually bought pound of
sugar-candy, which he placed in the
hands Of the little girl. % '---
In coming out of the store thuy- en-
countered the child's mother. 7s3
Oh, mother, said the little girl, just
see how much candy father has bought
for me-. Il s.H d3sgg .Ea'
You should not have bought her so
much at time. Mr.. Jones, said the la

A Parody.

In seasons when cur funds are low,
Subscribers are provoking slow,
a few supplies keep up tho flow
OF dimes departing rapidly.
But we shall see sadder sight
When luns pour in from morn to night,
Commanding every sixpencc bright
10 be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due bills are arrayed,
Each seal and signature displayed;
Tie holders vow they must be paid,
With threats Of Law aud Chancery.'
Then to despair we're almost drveL-
There's precious little use of livin',
When our last copp'r's rndely rivcn
From hands that held it lovingly.
But larger yet those dues shall grow,
When interests added on below,
Length'ning our chin a foot or so,
When gazing at them hopc!essly.
'Tis so, that scarce have we begun
To plead for time upon dun,
Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay fcrociously.
The prospect darkens-on ye brave
Who Woulj our very beacon save:
Waive, patrons, all your pretexts waive,
And pay the printer cheerfu!!y.
All! it would yield us pleasure sweet,
A few dclinquents now to meet,
A-kins Of us a clear receipt
For papers taken reg 'nrly.

The Darkness Of the CruclfixiOn.

The true greatness of the event which
, We commemorate at the Lords table is
impressively taught by these marvels.-
1t was, therefore, not a teacher, nor
martyr, who was dying, when the heaV-
ems were spread with sackcloth; he was
more than a man who expired on the
tree; his sufferings were not those of one
come to set men an example. The seen
cry was exaggerated, if only a good man
aud prophet were dying
If darkness came to mingle her dreary
influence over and amid the scenes OF
love and mercy of the cross, surely moth
ing can pre"ent the perfec. usurpation
of her power over those who finally re-
ject their mercy, and are not won by
that love- Even now, to these who did
not receive Christ and his sacrifice for
their .ins, the doctrines of the Gospel,
not being viewed in connection with that
sacrifice are dark; the understanding Is
darkened, the future is dark, and so is
the providence of God The Scriptural
emblem of the forlorn state of the wick
ed. darkness, conveys fearful idea OF
their future condition. Long and te-
dious are the night watches on sick
bed, when we toss to and fro, with no
power to sleep and disordered fancy fills
with dircFul images aud the morng seems
as if it would never come. But what
must it he to lie down in sorrow and
endless night, where the day star never
rises, and the night grows dark ker and
darker. and despair peoples it with hor-
rors?
But to the believer, the darkness of
the cruciixion is only an emblem Of that
darkest time of night, which, according
to the proverb is just before the the day.
BY thy death, o, Savior, in the midst
of darkness and sorrow, we shall soon
pass under these shades and their gloom.
to those scenes where they need no can
die, neither light of the sun, for the
Lord giveth them light, and they shall
reign forever.--Rev. ". adams, ID. d.
