Six Kindred Thousand More.

We are coming, Father Abraham, six hund red
thousand more,
From MississiPp's winding stream and from
New Englana's shore;
If you look across the hill-tOps that meet the

Long moving lines Of rising dust your vision
may descry;
If you look up all our valleys, where the glowing
haryests shine,
You may our sturdy farmer BOYS fast falling
into line;
You have called us, and we're coming, by Rich
mond's bloody tide,
To lay us down for freedoms sake, our brothers
bones beside.
CHORUs--We are coming, we arc coming,
Our Upion to restore;
We are coming, Father Abraham,
Six hundred thousand more.
We leave our plows and workshops, our wives and
With hearts too full for utteranc-, but with
silent tear;
And now the wind an instant, tears the cloudy veil
aside,
And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and
in pride
And children from their mothers knees are pull
ing at the weeds,
And learning how TO reap and SOW against their
Or from foul treasOn's savage group to wrench the
murderous blade,
And in the face of foreign foes its fragments to
parade.
CHoRUs-We are coming, &c.
Oh dare not look behind us, but steadfastly be-
fore,
And bayonets in the sunlight CLEAN, and bands
brave mnsic play;
And farewell group stand weeping at every cot

Six hundred thousand loyal men and true have
gone before.

Humboids ON the Fugitive slave

From the New York Post
The following letter was written by
Alexander Humboldt to a gentleman OF
this city, who has favored us with it for
publication; the word translated "shame-
full as applied to the Fugitive Slave
Law, is underscored in the original:
".Mr. John Aathers, Of Ne,c York:

which you have this day addressed to

56,844 alien emigrants-an increase of

before large audience. in which he ad-
vocated the planting Of school-houses
among the negroes and poor whites Of
the South, with every step Of the army.
and said that We have one destiny and
one future with the black man, and we've
got to share our ideas with him. He said
that he did not despond of the future of
the Republic, but believed, - if he as~

THE PRrscy OF Wales :, Lpcx

THE PRINCE OF WALES IN LucK.-A
valuable stratum of ironstone has been
found on the estate recently purchased by
the Prince of Wales. The discovery has
been effected by Mr.. Wright, a merchant
of Lynn, who has sent samples of the ore
obtained to some analytical chemists in
the north. These gentlemen state tina.
the ironstone found contains nearly Al
per cent. of metallic iron, SO that the ore
appears to be even richer than the Cleve-
land district. 1t is believed that the de-
posit covers at least 500 acres Mr..
Wright has informed the Prince, and has
applied for permission to work the ore on
payment of royalty.

A Candid Capperheaa.

Here is Northern man with Southern
principles and Southern practices. His
name is J. d. Murphy. He is q repre-
sentative reptile and ought to have .
hearing. He is one of the meek and quiet
spirits whose injured innocence rises in
wrath when one of its species is ill-treated
by an individual in United States uni
form. This man is leading New Hamp-
shire politician. He stumped the State
for Harrington, who, notwithstanding
disfranchisement of the soldiers by his
party, was thoroughly routed at the polls
so lately as last Tuesday. This Mr.. Mur-
ply did, on the 22d of January. at ths
town of Newington, n. H., make these
remarks:
"The Democrats have submitted to the
despotic sway of Abe Lincoln for three
years, thinking it better to endure wrong
for short time than to risk ali by last
appeal to arms. But now the time is
coming when we can change our rulers.
Rather than submit four years longer to
Abe Lincoln, and be overrun BY the
hordes of his hireling soldiery. let US
ring out the cry of old, TO your tents, .,
Israel = Democrats should arm and or
ganize into drill-elubs, companies, bat
talions. regiments and brigades, for these
blood thirsty Aboiitionists and shoddyite
thieves and traitors are . wind-broken,
spawned, dyspeptic race, and one regi-
lnent of Democrats could whip three of
them. Our armies have accomplished
nothing; the Army of the Potomac is a
grand picnic excursion, eating up the
substance of.the nation, and coming home
to vote down the liberties of the people.
and render our electious a farce and
mockery to the world"

SCHOOL ELECTION TO-DAY.

MEssRs. EDIToRs: Our citizens are
called apon this day to elect Directors to
have the charge of our Public Schools
the present year. Il is expected that
there will be two tickets in the field
the old Board, and new ticket, or
nearly SO. Those who, vote for the old
Board are presumed to be satisfied with
the Schools as they have been conducted
the past two or three years. Those who
vote for the new Board are presumed not
to be satisfied with the progress the schools
have made the past two or three years.
Those who expect to have live school
in the full sense of that term, without hav-
ing lire Directory, are expecting some
thing that never did, nor never will occur.
Quite as much, if not moro. depends upon
the energy, tact and skill of the Directors,
ina well-regulated and progressive school,
than upon the teachers. To have good
school it needs adaptation in both. We
claim that the new ticket has every pre-
requisite. both in qualification and expe-
rience, to make a good school. This is
what the people want, and they will not
be satisfied any longer with any thing less
than live school
Give the people good school, and our
word for it, the money for such purpose
will be more than adequate to meet all
necessary requirements. Then vote for
the new ticket. II.

Effects 81 the PFestdent's Amnesty.
From every part we have the most graf
flying assurances tba. the people of the
South are anxious to accept the Presi-
dents amnesty, wherever an opportunity
is offered to do SO; We know this by the
number who arc doing 50 in this State,
now that Gen. Rosseau has opened the
way, which bad before been blocked and
We learn that the same eagerncss is exhib-
tied in every other section occupied by
the national troops.
A letter from Missouri states that the
offer of amnesty is playing mischief with
the rebel armies west Of the Mississippi,
and especially among Missourians who
are IN the rebel service. TIE latter class
of rebel soldiers are focking to our lines
in large numbers, and the deserters even
embrace large number of commissioned
officers. These men cay that if the Mis-
sonrians who were taken at Vicksburg,
and who subsequently took the oath of
allegiance and we're paroled, had been
allowed to return TO their homes, instead
of being clspped into prison in St. Louis.
the Confederacy would have lost nineteen
twentieths of the Missourians remaining
10 the service. Among the recanting
rebels is Thomas McAfee, formerly Of
Shelby county, who was Speaker Of Claib
Jaekson's legislature before and after bis
fight from the capital. He was Speaker
of the lower branch of the legislature
when small majority of that body went
through the farce of passing q secession
ordinance at Cassviile, near the Arkansas
line. McAfee is still ia custody, but will
probably be liberated by order of the
| President.
Many of these are doubtlessly inspired
BY financial considerations only but; as
We have frequently argued. We must look
to acts alose but the great majority are
greatly wearied with the rebellion, and
are sincere in their desire to return to
their allegiance.
