when 1t comes, will fold over his stilled heart
the same robe of emerald and gold that kings
lie under through Gods going years.
There are hearts, indeed that miss him;
but their sorrow is not without consolation.
He fell for his country, fell in the place
where duty put him; and thought sweetens
| the cup, and may help them to find the pearl
of perfect peace at the bottom.
So wars ravages go on. So, on scores of
fields, noble lives, full of sublimest impulses,
come to glorious pause, saluting the Great
Captain with smile as they pass to the last
review. We who remain at ease in our
homes, with only the murmurs of the distant
conflict breaking on our ears know little Of
the heroism, the sublime martyrdom, the
sweet faith and resignation which illustrate
every battlefield, and brighten hospital and
camp, all along the path of strife know lit
tie what suns of hope go down forever in
the smoke of bloody fields, what ties are
rent never to be knit together again, what
histories full of noble daring are ended in
one flash and cannon peal.
But should we not remember and think Of
all this, and SO be juster than we are to those
who all unsupported in peaceful times of
carrying under their honely CARDS souls with
the robust strength and faith Of the martyr
in them, are giving to-day on every field
such exhibitions of the depth and afluence
of our national character and aspirations as
shall make all coming time bright with the
glory of this?

To the Editor Of the Baltimore American;
My attention is called to an article in your
paper, headed ga Protest from Gen. Butler
which supposes that have written the silly
paragraph therein contained. | have written
no such letter. 1t is not the kind of letter
am accustomed to write. There has been
no shadow of occasion for it. All and more
than all the consideration to which | am
entitled has been shown me by the
Government, in relation to my present
command. | should not break my habit
of not contradicting newspaper reports

Lines by a Friend.


Dead land we may not meet thee
In our joyous group again
Or ever hope to greet thee
While life and health remain.
Dead-and thy home is saddened,
Thy loved one sad and lone;
Thy precious boy no more
mothers love shall own.
We cannot know the anguish
widowed heart must feel,
Until our hearts have felt it,
And seen the dreaded seal
ofdeath upon the forehead,
The smoothly parted hair,
And ia the eyes the look so dread,
.. Which death has planted there.
Why mourn for those who've left us
For happier home of light.
IT'S God who has bereft us,
He knoweth what's right.
Weep rather for the living,
The lone ones left behind,
And every comfort giving
To them, we will be kind.
Our prayers to God as ending,
Shall breathe warm hopes for them,
That all their sorrow blending,
Shall lead them up to him.
For we know that he hath taugLtus
Many lessons hard to learn,
But to Him the lessons brought US,
And from HIM we would not turn. EVA

the order of Major Pitcairn, having

his powderhorn hung to his side, and
his pockets. provided with bullets.
Among the number was Ebenezer Lock.
The British had posted a reserve of

REBEL VIEW Of qnaxr's ADVANCE
The Richmond Examiner proves edi-
torially that Grant has been defeated
and ou-generaled ever since he crossed
the Rapidan. OF the situation, it says:
at appears to be known that both
armies are moving Grant is reported
to have crossed the Pamunky at Han

probably, for the point known as Ripley
Creek, in New Kent County, some IF
teen or sixteen miles from Richmond
OF the movements of Lee it would not
be prudent to speak, but the reader
may be well assured that he has his eye
upon his adversary, and will be pre-
pared for him whenever he may show
himself Lee has never yet been sur
prised or outgeneraled, and it is not
likely he will be in this instance.
The Examiner admits the repulse OF
Fitzhugh Lees attack upon General
Wild's position on James River 1t

told by officers who participated in the
