G. SKETCHES
THE ARCTIC PRISON.
A Thrilling Story of Child and Dog

The ship swung heavily to and fro-the
long yards creaking and shivering upon
the masts.
The wind whistled with shrill, weird
sound among the shrouds; aud the
shrouds bent inward as though unseen
bands of he,vy footed men were ascend
ing them. 1t was dark night, yet not
so dark but that We could see the lofty
ice ergs by which we were surrounded,
looming up like spectres through the
gloom. We were tossing about on the
waters OF the Arctic ocean, and subjected
to heavy sea and gale Of wind-our 90.
Sition was a dangerous one. We had al,
ready begun to prepare RATS, and to hoist
our chests on deck-expecting every mo
ment that the ship would be stove by the
ice. Heavy masses were continually crush
ing against the bows, and laundering
under the counter, causing the vessel to
shake and qulver from stem to stern, as
way. At times the conclusion would be
so violent that all hands would be thrown
off their feet, and tumble on the top Of each
other. Suddenly white face with Wild
glaring eyes and quivering lips appeared
among US. 1t was that of the captains
wife. She had her hand uUon her hus
bands arm, as she stood near the bow
Lillian! Lillian" she gasped, where
is our LilIian?'
Lillian Good heavens wife, what do
you mean? | left her with you in the
cabin =
She is not there now-I have looked
in all the rooms. Oh, God : my child my
child and the mother wrung her hands
in anguish, while her white face grew still
whittier.
'Wiie. wife :. exclaimed the captain half
sternly, Lillian was with you when left
the cabin; surely you did not let her leave
your side at such time as this ?
Yes, yes.' cried his wife, in accents OF
the most piercing grief. 1T is all my fault
she is lost! My little Lillian is lost !!
and am the causep
For Gld's sake, explain YOURSELF gasped
the captain.
Il left her down in the cabin faltered
the agonized mother, and came on deck
as [ wanted to speak to you. | thought
you were in the waist, so | gropei nay way
there and tried to find you. Not seeing
you, started on my return, fearing to
leave Lillian so long alone. But when
reached the cabin again, she was not
there-gone gone God only knows
where
Lillian Lillian has any one seen
Lillian?
Fore and aft, from every lip, in startling
accents, the cry went up amid the storm.
But the loud wind answered only with
deeper howl. The long yards creaked
upon their rusty riVets. The heavy ice
bergs groaned and shook as they had done
before. The silvery accents of little Lii
lisn's voice came not to our ears, and we
felt as if it were hushed forever But the
Wailing tones of the poor mother, and the
despairing shouts of the father-both Of
whom could not bear to give up their
child-continued long after our own voices
had ceased. Then, we-rough hearted,
childless men though We were-forgetting
our own danger, gathered about the af1ict
ed pair, and tried to console them. don't

THE BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS.

They charged our front at break of day
We met them in the deadly fray;
With .Nort ern" fire and Northern" steel
We caused their glittering ranks to reel;
Full fast the surging hosts pressed on;
We pressed them back-'the day was won,"
While down our ranks rang loud and long
The shout of victory.
Again they charged, again we fought
Each foot of ground dearly bought,
We faced their leaden rain like men,
We would not finch but once again
We seized the banner of the free,
Mid battle smoke it eer shall be
Our guiding star.
And now the tide of battle turns,
Each freeman's heart within him burns;
Say, shall we yield and lose the day'
Oh! Oh! They come IN di cad array,
And then saw, wta sad dismay,
Our ranks before the hosts give way.
Hurrah Rain on your lead and steel,
Wen fetch your traitors hearts to feel
That We are frm-comes woe veal
We stand invincbe.
And now once at break of day
Right cheerily the buges play
What gadder sight can cheer our braVes'
Hurrah! The flag in triumph waves
Along our hues.
Our gallant comrades round US lay,
Brave hearts-they helped MS win the day"
All honor TO their sacred clay
They've passed where sweeter bugles play,
Beyond our lines.
Again we fought for truth and right,
Thank God-ag4in conquered might
He has marked our prayers and tears,
He has dspelled our gloomy fears,
And through His strength our foes are crushed
And all our Northern skies are flushed
With victory.

A Rob IN PICKLE FOR GOVERNMENT Cox
TRAcroRs.-One of the best measures in
troduced in Congress, this session is the re-
solution of Mr.. WAsHBURNE investing the
Committee on the Conduct of the War
with power to examine into all contracts
made or that shall be made up to the time
of the committees making its report
Armec with authority to meet during the
session or in the recess, and to serd fer per-
sons and papers, it will be. difficult for any
Suspicious operation to escape its notices
provided the committee be thorough and
honest in its investigations. Of course the
efficiency of the committee will very much
depend on the elements of which it is to be
composed; but, as all parties will have to
be appointed on it to give it a complexion
of fairness, it ought to work we'll for the
public interests. A body like this, sitting
en- permansr'cs, cannot but exercise whole
some influence over both government Off
GERS and contractors. When the latter
find that detection is prompt and punish
ment certain, they will make up their minds
that honesty the best policy.

Gen. Butler, by being invested with full
and plenary powers to act according to his
judgement has at last assumed some tan.
gible shape. On Wednesday last Major j.
E. Milford, the efficient Agent of Exchange
was sent by General Butler to City Point
with flag of truce, carrying with him some
highly important documents, rearing on the
subject of exchanging our prisoners. In
tho meantime, the commanding general
has ordered the rebel prisoners to be brought
within the lines of bis department., to await
release which he hopes to effect.

The ProlOngatiOn Of the War q
Republican Party Measure. 6
Under this caption the New York Hsr-
aid, after reviewing the corruptness ana 81 I'M :
becility of the present Administration con.
cludes the able article asfollows: b
"By this hasty review Of Gen. McClell.n's
plans we see that our failure to pat down
the rebellion cannot be traced to not nav
ing good advice as to how we could best 40
it. But General Mcclellan did not retain
bis place. He was put aside, through the
clanor of the radicals, because it was known
that his views were directly opposed 10
theirs. He told the. President that "neitner
confsoation Of property, political executions
of persons, territorial organizations OF STATES
or forcible abolition of slavery should be
contemplated for q moment" These were
the cherished measures Of the radicals
the measures by which they expected TO put
the Southern States out OF existence 40
States and to crush the Southern people
and they feared the prominence OF q man
who entertained such views as denerai NC
Oltllan did. - - -.
MANY circumstances have occurred since
General McClellan's removal which would
favor the view that the war is prolonged
because of the imbecility of the admins
trat,on; but Others indicate more strongly
that the war is not ended because the ac-
ministration does not want to end it; Tor the
war seems to have consolidated and formed
the Republican party. United for the main
tenance of the Union, the American people
unfortunately appear to be united as the Re
publican party. There is no great oppoosl-
ton, because party arrayed against that
party in whose hands the government
now is would inevitably seem to be arrayed
against the government, to sympathize with
the rebels; and the American people are not
willing to take such position. Deceived
by this circumstance into the conviction
that the war builds up their party, and an
mated also by the hope of continued plum
der, the active spirits of the Republican
party now employ all their energies to nurse
and continue the war They will certainly
keep it alive through the present Presiden-
tial term; and if Mr.. Lincoln should be re-
elected they will keep it alive for another
four years. There is, therefore, but one
plan by which the country can secure peace,
and that is by the elestion of another man
man wbel Ill end the war. .,.

General sFeClellan's Report.

The report of this hero and statesman Is
at present the theme of many articles IN
our exchanges. e.rhs press, gensrallysagree
that aL1rrLKS Mao" has been greatly
wronged. Any 5ne atall acquainted with
t he Generals operations must concede this
fact. The report IS q very plain narrative,
uttered with military brsvity and straight
forwardnsss, and consisting in great
part of official orders, kilograms, letters, and
extracts from the reports of subordinate
commanders. 81 But no, patriot whose heart
throbs for the brave who have fallen, and
the mourners at so many firssides, and the
trials of distracted country and long
suffering people, can fail to see in this most
exciting chapter Of the history Of our three
years war, facts long concealed at WASH

McCLELLAN's reticent lips, even for bis
vindication against outrageous and persist

facts which burn and brand into the FORE
heads of the. administration the proof that
