THE AWAKENING.
BY DE BLANC.

BY DE BLANC.
Long years have passed since lin the oIden time)
NV thoughts have lived and breathed in measure
rhyme;
Since Keen emotions in their heart-wrung strain,
On sympathetic eher is have reached the brain.
In these long years, within their cells confined,
Have slept the dormant powers of the mind:
A mental rest-a negative of years,
A placid STATED qHsetade of tears.
IT'S not of SELF that would once again,
As of lang syne, give voice to joy or pain;
'iis not to chronicle hidden life
OF individual hope, of love, of grief-l
Oh higher far, t he tieFae that moves nay soul,
And holds Of mind the absolute control;
Absorbs my being in the common woe
DisruptionI civil war a nations throel
SO lately in her pride and glory dressed
So lately in our boastea onion blessed
Now fratricidalwar in delugc sleeps
Our bclnteous land, as carnage DER ii sweeps.
The father ,gainst the son, friend turned to foe
No matter BY whose hand, TIE blood must aslr.
Weird desolation nsrks the carse of war
The cry Of want-staryatipn from atar-
This great npheaving of The nat Ions power,
For irhat the travail of this day and hour?
Great God in Thine oil wisdom thou has seen
How God-foFgstting, in our pride, we've been
A self-Suficient, selt,Feliant race,
From thee we've turned to our own time and place
Trusting to human prowess, human sight,
All that we owe to Thee OF mind and might.
Aly God! nation prayers to thee ascend;
Thy mercies to fhe utmost verge extend:
Bring back each recTeant, Lord each erring son,
Let wisdom's light melt down each h art of stone.
Turn back to truth, to Righteousness of life,
All How engaged in this unhzllowed strife
Ambitions strongholds topple to the ground,
And let a nations hymn ence more resound.
We are not humbled yet. oh Godl how long
Shall stitf-necked pride these mseries prolong?
How long, the tortured millions drink in woe.
How long the blood of thoasands still may flow:
Each hearthstone grew more desolate and lone,
As loved and loving drop off one by one?
'Tis Thou, and Thou alone. whose hand can guide
Our nations barque Ger this alI-surging tide

rhat They CIaimWhat Thav n

What They Claim--What They Did.
The Sentinel, in fit of glory over the
completion of our quota under the last
call for volunteers, says the feeling that
accomplished this gratifying result "has
been generally manifested regardless of
partyaffiliations, and theDemocratic coun-
ties have been the most liberal in offering
bounties" 1t is eminently characters
tic of our agile neighbor to insist that the
feeling which has filed the States quota
was manifested without regard to party
affliation, and in the very same sentence
assert that the one party did more than
the other, to make capital for that party.
There was no party feeling in it, says
one end of the sentence; the Demo
cratic party did more than the Union
party" says the other end. We let the
two ends destroy each other, promising
that if neither can get any food, both
will speedily die of starvation or poison,
and we can't well say which would kill
quickest, and proceed to say word about
the Democratic action which was man.
ifested without regard to party affilia-
tions. Some Democratic counties did
offer large and liberal bounties, and we,
anxious to suppress all party feeling. re-
corded the fact as prominently and
in as hattering terms as we could.
But when i, came to drawing the boun-
ties, as well as paying them, the Demo
crats-that is, Democrats of the Senti-
net and Vallandigham breed-were not
on hand. They offered big bounties,
and urged Union men to enlist This
was their game. They killed two birds
with one stone They filled the quota
and avoided the draft, which might have
proved no respecter of their timid per.
sons, and at the same time got Union
votes out of the way, to the strengthen
ing of the Peace Democracy by just that
much. This is the game they have play
ed from the beginning. They never have
enlisted or encouraged their own parti
zans to enlist. On the contrary, they
have time and again signalized their
hostility to any depletion of Democratic
strength by such a process, by the mos

on Military Affairs, given his views on the
House bill taking from the President the power
to summarily dismiss army and navy officers
without trial by court-martial.
The opinion thus given induced the Senate
Committee to report adversely on the bill.
