"Whcn is this struggle to end Shall we

Forbid it, Heaven! But tell you that this
war will never be ended ill we are all con-
quered by the Christening hand Of Providence.

bands of these 6ends have been seen prowling

living on the border settlements can not be
too cautious.
As far as heard from, Butte reports two

A TOUCHING IsCIDEST OF THE BATTLE FIELD
An army correspondent of the New York
TribuDe gives the following account of an
Incident Of the late battle of the Wilderness
Far down the plank road where Hancock
fought, beyond the thckest rebel dead, lay a
boy severely wounded, perhaps not less soldier
that he was but boy He had fallen the day
before, when we were fartbest advanced, and
had remained unmolested within the rebel lines.
They had not removed him, and he was alone
with the rebel dead when | rode up. The poor
fellow was crawling about, gathering vlolets.
Faint with loss of blood, unable to stand. he
could not resist the tempting flowers, and had
already made beautiful bouquet. Having
caused a stretcher to be sent for, saw him
taken up tenderly aud borne away. wearing a
brave, sweet, touching smile"

The LONDON TINES TAKEN DowS.-The
Philadelphia Press thus sharply criticizes a
paragraph in the London Times:
"The present prospects of the Confederates
in this fourth year of The civil war are certainly
brighter than they ever were before" Thus
the London Times of the 81 instant begins one
of Its heavy leaders on the American war Not
less than three bunders are contained in lhls
little sentence. Present prospects brighter
than they were is an absolute bull" This
fourth year of the war" implies another fourth
year OF the war. Prospects brighter than
they ever were before" is a gross pleonasm.
We are not surprised at the falsehoods of the
Times, but there is no reason why ii should
not lie in good Engli>h.

On the Death of Daughter of James
Robinson, of Butte Greek.

By SISTER.
She has gone from earth to Heaven
To dwell with God on high
Where Christ the blessed Saviour,
Will wipe the weeping eye.
We have laid her down to rest
Beneath the mouldering sod,
Her tomb is near by US,
Her spirit is with God.
We loved her, yes we loved her,
Her life To all was dear,
Her hand was kind and gentle
Her voice was calm and clear.
Her sojourn here was short,
Ten summers numbered all
Like angels visits here below,
On this terres trial ball.
Loaned to US not given,
She soon was suatched away,
That we might have jewel in Heaven,
To lead our souls that way.
o, what changes, solemn changes,
Has unhnked our happy band,
Since God has called our Ely
To dwell at his right hand.
But yet we hope to meet her
Where the heart can feel no sorrow.
An undivided family,
With Christ our elder brother.
