What! crouch before Treasoni make Freedom q
What! spike all the guns when the foe is st bay
And the rags Of his black banner dropping away'
Tear down the strong nae that oar nation has

Asd strike her brave bird from her home in the

Hes coward who shrnks FROM tho lift of the

Hes trsi.sr who mocks at tho sacrifice poured
Eamsless and homeless the doom that should blast
Tho knave that stands idly till peril is past,
But he who submits when the thunders have burst
And victory dawus, is Of towards the worst!
Is the old spirit dead' Are We broken and weak,
That eraverns SO shameles.ly lift the whto cheek
To court the swift insult nor blush at the blow

See! Anarchy smiles at the Peace which they ask
Asd the eyes Of Di,uuion fash out through the

Give thanks, y brave boys, who by tho vale and

Rear onward, unfaultering, our noble old nag,
Strsng arms of the Union, heroes wing and dead,
For the blosd OF your valor is useessly shed!
n. soldiers green laurel is promised you here,
But the white rag Of " sympathy softly shall

And you, 70 war martyrs. who preach from your

Now captives are nursed by the masters Of slaves,
Or, living, still linger in shadows of DEATH
Put out the starved muscle recall the faint breath
And shout, till those towards rejoice ct the cry,
"By the hands Of the Union We tou ,ht for We die!
BY the G cd of our fathers! this shame must

But it grows too dcha'ins for freemen to bear
And Washington, Jackson will turn in their

evening, as the regulating engine at the Depot
was engaged in changing the cars, a man of
about so years OF age who had been seen a fe W
moments before in a state of intoxication, going
towards the Station, was knocked down by the
cars two of which backed over him and he
vas literally mashed to pieces, both legs being
broken as we'll as his arms and he died almost
instantly. The engine was stopped as soon as
IL was discovered and he was removed to the
woThbouse when an inquest was held by cor
oner Woodward yesterday. The jury re-
turned verdict in accordance with the facts,
relieving the engineer (who OF course could
not see the man, 1t being dark at the time)fro \
all blame. The deceased was formerly SOL
dier and bad but one hand the left being off
just above the wrist. He had III his pockets
some jewelry and small change, bat there was
nothing 70 give q clue as TO who he was. He
was about feet inches high rather stout ,and
is supposed to have been about SO years or age.
