SCHLESWIG- -HOLSTEIN.

The last news respecting the
troubles in Germany is that England
has protested against the Federal
Occupation of Schleswig, thus mani
Testing her sympathy with Denmark
in a decided manner, and showing a
disposition to adhere to the settle
ment of 1852. The people of Nor
way have also given expression to
their regard for Denmark, and have
requested their Government to sup
port the Danish cause. Meantime,
the Federal occupation progresses
The German troops who entered
Holstein on the 24th of December
had advanced to Wendstadt by the
Both, and were expected to reach
Rendsburg on the last day of the
year. This town is on the border of
Schleswig, on the Elder, fifty miles
from Hamburg, and Is noted for its
fortificatiOns. Ithas 10,500 inhabit-
ants. The Danish army is still re-
tiring, and will probably abandon
Holstein entirely. The situation in
creases in interest, and the peace of
Europe is seriously threatened.

THE BIG ARGUMENT WITH ITS
THREE SAFETY VALVES.

1st Peace Democrat-Why don't all
of you men who are in favor of the
war, go yourselves? Why do you
want me or my SONS - e." NJ Hy
don't you go yourselves and fight
and get killed?
War man-Will you promise to
feed all of us if we go?
Peace Democrat-Yes.
War Man-Then it is not from
principle you oppose the war 1t is
because you don't want to take a
part in it ityourself for fear ofgetting
killed. And ifyou thus acknowledge
the justice of the war by feeding and
sustaining an army to prosecute it,
equity places you under the same
obligation with the rest of us to do
your share of the fighting.
I'd Peace Democrat-(Seeing the
''yes" answer don't come out
well. But you can feed off the
country.
War Man-No, it seems not, it has
always been the duty of those stay
ing at home to feed and clothe our
armies-they have never been able
to subsist entirely off the rebels,
and l understand you generally do
not.
Sd Peace Democrat Coming to
the rescue of his favorite argu ment,
somewhat excited. My friends
here started out wrong, we would
not feed you if you were to go as sol
diers, or allow you to subsist off the
rebels.
War Man-How would we live
then?
Peace Democrat-Why die-starve.
War Man-We prefer to live and
that you should sustain this war
equally with us. AS to the ques-
ton whether the peace men staying
at home would feed and sustain all
the war men if they were to go into
the army, I believe the true answer
to be, they could not if they would,
and would not ifthey could.
However, to contribute men and
means to this war, is the common
duty of every citizen whether he
cries "peace or war;" all are under
equal obligations to fill up our ar
mics. j. B.

GEThe Baltimore American places
at the head of its columns the name
of Abraham Lincoln, as candidate
for the Presidency in 1864.
The Union League of Nashville,
Tennessee, has passed a resolution in
favor of the reelection of President
Lincoln, with Andy johnson for Vice
President. Not bad to take.
The st. Louis Union places at its
head the name of Abraham Lincoln
for reelection.
The Washington Republican says
Gen. Banks does not want to be
candidate for the Presidency, but
unequivocally declares a reelection
due to Mr.. Lincoln.
The Paris illinois, Valley Blade,
comes out for President Lincoln at
the election in 1864. The Blade
supported Douglas in 1860.

THE PRESS.


"A LonuOH paper rvIuaIns GrIsst antv
in the press is the chance of the Jii
umph of right principles to be looked
for. The same thing is true of our
country. But here we have q loyal
and disloyal press. In the latter,
truth finds no sanctuary and the strug-
gle for the rightno defenders. 1t is no
light responsibility which the disloyal
press assumes. Its savage invective
its malignant abuse, its INSCRIPTIONS
misrepresentation, daily hurled at
the Administration and its friends,
are calculated to do mischief inealcu-
liable. 1t is in the loyal press of the
country that the hopes of this republic
are centered. 1t has lifted itself a.
bove the tide of rebellion that has set
in from the South, and its words of
confidence and faith may be heard
above the tumultuous rush of waters
of sedition. 1t will triumph. The
loyal press, overwhelming in the ma
jOrity, will largely aid in the salvation
of the Union from the wreck that has
threatened it.

She lifted her wet eyes to his face,
as he drew her tenderly to him.

Captain Melford's heart gave a

TIE CHILD's PLEA.

Because wear the swaddling- bands of Time
Still mark and watch me,
Eternal Father, on thy throne sublime,
From harm to snatch me-
Because to seek thee have yet to learn,
Come down and lead me;
Because am too weak my bread to earn,
Ny Father feed me.
Because grasp at things that are not mine,
And might undo me,
Give, from thy treasure-house of goods divine
Good gifts unto me.
Because too near the pit creeping 90,
Do not forsake me;
To climb into thine arms I em too low,
Q Father! take me.

AN EVERYDAY STORY.
By ANNIE.

One day in August when the sun did cas-
Its burning fury darts on all below.
And made all parched, that once was fres
and green
And with his fearful power did chang
green fields
And gardens fresh, to acid wastes so drear
Zen there the fever ragged, its fires burn
high,
And many, on whose brow was set the sea
OF the great kirg, whose power is ever felt
As well in palace ground, as in the cot,
On this hot day, did lay them down ant
die.
When friends do swarm around the bed. tc
give
The parting word, and to receive, alasi
The last adieu of ones most dear OH earth,
'Tis hard cen then to face, the bridegroom.
death,
'Tis hard for those, who gently press
The couch made soft by their own hands, to
That never more that form will move in
'Tis hard to give up life when all seems
To leave the ones to whom the heart cliDgs
to,
The pangs are deep and full of bitterness;
The agony which rends the heart is great
But, oh! my God! canst even thou conceive
What tits to die away from all, deprived
OF every comfort, where no mothers hand
Can press the brow hot, by fever parched,
nor cool
Those tender lips with loving kisses, nor
be near when comes at last the final stroke.
Twas thus our boy did die, he gave away
His sweet young life, e'er it had reached ITS
bloom
A sacrifice pure on liberties shrine,
WHAT agony must that young heart have
How deep his grief and "oh, my mother
dear,
Can not You come, the last sad look to take
of him your boy" He's dying now. The
words
That last those lips do utter faint and low
Are those sweet words, My Mother" And
though he
Does not say it, yet well We know that
deep
Down in his heart another image lays
Those outlines fair, they can be traced
Yes they
Are hers. And oh how he does pray that
she
His own dear girl may come, and lay her
cheek
So soft 'gainst his, and gently press those
lips
That soon are icy cold in death. But no.
,Tis all denied. No loved ones come to shed
The parting tear. They know it not, And
when
They wsken to the truth-Oh Godl Wilt
thou
Not spare that mother; and that sister too,
And most Of all let her not drink, the cup
That does contain such bitter draft He's
To her, his girl, her life, her hope, her joy.
Fozd comrades gather round to close those
eyes,
And lay those hands so still across his
breast,
Then bury him there, in that distant spot
We know not where, it is not marked Oh
War.
How cruel thou, to take our boy away
And not permit the ones whose right it is,
To watch the sands of life, as one by one,
They drop away. leone, one comfort give,
One consolation still remain our hearts
To cheer. Twas for our country that he
died,
For her he fought, her cause maintained SO
brave,
And we are sure that when he reached his
home
That lays beyond grim death, he found
such joys
Reserv'd for him as mortals cannot know.

The war department has authorized
Gov. Brough to raise another colored
regiment in this State. All men so
raised will be credited on the quota
of the State under the draft. Can't
the patriotic copperheads get up a
howl about it. Think of it! A ne
gro's name on the Adjutant Generars s
books counts just as much as a white
mans. Isn't It ''unconstitutionalS"
