The Blessed Ones.

Blessed are they that are blind for
they shall see no ghosts.
Blessed are they that are deaf; for they
never lend any money, nor listen to tedi-
ous stories.
Rlessed are they that are afraid of
thunder; for they shall hesitate about
getting married, and keep away from po-
litical meetings.
Blessed are they that are lean; for
there is chance to grow fat.
Blessed are they that are ignorant; for
they are happy in the thought that they
know everything.
Blessed is he that is ugly in form and
feature; for the gals shan't modest him.
Blessed is she that would get married
but can't; for the consultations of the gos-
pei are hers.
Blessed are the orphan children; for
they have no mother to spank them.
Blessed arc they that expect nothing;
for they shall not be disappointed.
Blessed are they that do not advertise
for they shall very rarely be troubled with
customers.

What the people can do in their separate
trades!

What Delaware can do!
What each county can do!
What each city and town can do!
What each profession can do!
What each trade can do!
What each occupation can do!
What each mandatory can do!
What each bank, insurance company and
railroad can do!
What each mine can do!
What each workshop can do!
What each family can do!
What each man can do!
What each woman can do!
What each boy and girl can do!
We want to show the world what Amer
lean freemen are ready to do for their SOL

This is great work and the time short
The way to do so is to ORGANIZE!

families.
Let the men organize.
Let the women organize
Let the trades organize.
Organize everywhere.
Let the wolkmen give with their employ

AK EAGLE ~ BArx1r.-When, IN
tho year 1851 the Wisconsin Eighth
Regiment marched from that State to
The scat of war, il carried with il an
eagle. From that time, through all
the marches, battles, sieges and vicisi-

with the command and shared its
hardships, dangers and adventures
Whenever the regiment has Joined in
battle with the foe, the eagle has been
at its post with the soldier who owns
MIN, at the head of company d. As
the engagement waxed hot-as the
roar OF heavy guns shook the earth,
and rattle of small arms pierced the
dun and sulpherous cloud that hung
about the line of battle-the eagle
would flap his wings and mingle his
voice with the tumult in the, fercest of
his screams. Twice he has been
wounded in action, one ball carrying
away portion of his tail feathers
But he has never turned tail TO the
foe. he has gone with the regiment
through seven States, fit companion
and emblem Of the heroes Of the
Northwest. He is now at home with
mo veterans recruiting, and there is
not banner or "broker" in the
United States that brings men to the
reglmental flag, as the war-eagle of
the Wisconsin Eighth. Thousands flock
TO see him, and his sharp, shrill cry is
''lways heard at morning and evening
With the flies and drums of the guard.

that the army Of the Potomac has advanced

Our army moved on Tuesday night and has

was made At Jacob, Oulpepper, Gsrmsnla

without serious opposition.
Lee has been compelled to fall back from

stand this side OF the defenccs Of Richmond

some that he will fight at Chanceilorssille.
Every hour may now bring US news oil
