On with the Dance.

On with the dance, the people will pay the
piper. We recollect that there was music
and festivity, also when Lee marched up the
Shenandoah leaving fire and devastation to
the homes of the poor soldiers, while their
officers were joyouslJ celebrating the nuptials
Of young comrade, the son of some political
magnate. Last week the White house was
the scene of gayety, this week the Rappahan-
mock. Where will the next .fete be held
God grant that it may not be North of the
Potomac by the light of the incendiary brands
of Stuart's cavalry.
We do not hear of the rebels giving balls
in their camps. Yet men who have forgotten
your country and your duty for pleasure and
ambition do ye not fear TO dance upon the
graves where those dead patriots, your old
comrades, lie buried Do you not fear that
the sound of your dancing feet and the joy
GUS strains of your festive music may disturb
their last s'umber, and that their outraged
shades may rise up in the midst of your i'm
pious rcvelry to reproach you with your un-
seemly gayeSy before country clothed in
mourning.
But what strange sound vibrates in the air,
and sends shudder through your revelry p
No the wind comes from the direction Of
Richmond. 1t is only the plaintive voice of
our wretched children, murmering in their
prisons an:! dying with hunger But what
of that Strike up ugain on with the dance.
Whirl again into the voluptuious vortex of
beauty and flowers, with your arms braced
about the young girls who have come from
Washington to share your revelry On with
the jest and merry laugh. and may the plain
tive voice of those who are suffering for their
country and for liberty not disturb your cruel
joys may the echo not change the suferings
and complaining into curses.
tbo &c ,ronooad Dr.
sunder by the hands of its own sons, it is not a
time to laugh to dance or attempt to obliterate

triumph, or to d1e.-Neao Nation

TFrem the Chicago Poss. ]
Beau Hackett ON Grecnbacks.

"Money makes the mare CO." Speaking of
money, do you know that the color of national
currency is suggestive of pea time? I'm
afraid of greenbacks. Ny mother used to
spank me in the spring time for eating green
apples and melons, and said if 1 didn't quit
eating SO much green stuff it would kill me-
l wish those politicians who feed and grow fat
at the public crib would eat so much of the
sgreen stuff that it would make them ever
lastingly sick.
Greenbaeks are the root of all evil. They
are making war on shinplasters that will even
tually bring interminable annoyances. And
they are increasing their forces constantly
With every additional call for volunteers,
there comes an additional flood of greenbacks
without calling. And the prices of all the
iuxuries and comforts that the country affords
are so mixed up and disordered, that, fire.
quently after you have purchased an article,
it is impossible to tell how much you have
paid for it. / cudgelled my brain for six
months to find out what l had paid for fine
coat, and finally asccrtained through con-
stable, who is particular friend of mine; thNt
[ hadn't paid for it at all. Such are green
backs
Prices are constantly advancing. Every
thing is advancing, except our army. All
kinds of goods are going up-groceries and
provisions, and whisky, and tobacco, and rents,
and furniture, and boots, and shoes, snd coats,
and dresses, and fuel, and firewood, and coal,
and salaries, and gold-everything is raising,
and even Chicago river, infected by the popu-:
lar epidemic, has been raising for the last
three days.
Well, let them come Let the Secretary of
the Treasury cover the country with green
backs two feet deep if he chooses. They will
remind us of other days-of green fields and
verdant pastures, and all that sort of things,
and we can dream of spring time all the year.
There will be plenty of greenbacks when you
and 1 are g5ne, unless, in few years, little
politicians shall monopolise all the crossroads
and below Reputation from one end of the
universe to the other. Let US honor green
backs, and keep them green in our memory
forever.

Destruction of the Office of the Ere
mont Messenger.

The abolition villains and fanatics of Ere
mont, Sandusky County, on Thursday night
of last week, destroyed the Office of the Mes
senger, the Democratic paper owned by NJ. p.
Bean, Esq, former editor of the Forum
The rufians and thieves of the Union League
of that town, robbed the Office of what they
could not steal. Fremont is an abolition
county, the sufferer by this crime is Demo-
crat, and the laao will afford him no more pro-
lection or redress than it would among the
savages of the Fejee Islands, or in the domin-
ions of King Dahomy. Those whose sworn
duty it is to protect citizens and prevent crime,
will swallow their oath with drink of whis-
ky at the expense of the criminals, and the
Loyal Leagues throughout the land will utter
a sanctimonious 'amen" through their noses.
This in the State of Ohio, and in the third
year of the reign of Abraham the First, auto
crat and despot of the United States.
