wnTrsN FOR THE CoLuasrA DEMOCRAT.
THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM.

l.
SAY, who at Antietam spectator has BEEN
To view from the mountain the terrific scene
What mortal could witness the battle that day,
And not feel depressed with regret and dismayi
when North against South in dread majesty rose
And moy'd like atempest to master its foes;
Such scene in the world has but seldom been known,
Since the finger of God markd the tablets of stone
Ii.
The war trsmp is sounded, ths drums beat 10 arms
The pickets meantime give the usual alarms
Brgades join brigades, TO vast columns they SWELL
Whilst the foe rushcs with demonac yell
Now flashes the fire, and showers the lead
Artillery thunders the field becomes red,
With torrents Of lifo.blood, as fingers the strife,
When graphing with man. destroys human life.
III.
McCLELLAS, the chief in command, cool and sage,
Whose bright name is written on historys page.
His prowess to strong hopes Of victory 6rd,
His presence with vaor his lcgions Inspired
Undaunted, his glorious host there he led
Oer ground dyd with gore ani DER heaps Of the dead
Till sounds Of retreat from the rebels in flight,
Proclaimed him the Uictor in that bloody fight.
".
The battle is over, and night spreads her pail,
Der the ranks that have stood like adamant wall
This muskctry yoiley, the c0nnon's loud roar,
Are heard on the field Of Antictam more:
But ah the result Of that terrific fray,
Shall felt in the land be for many day;
And parents shall weep, yea, and history sh all tell,

] have not accomplished my purposeif
by this report the Army of the Potomac
is not placed high on the roll Of the his
toric armies of the world. It's deeds en-
noble the nation to which il belongs. Al.
ways ready for battle, always firm, stead
fast, and trust worthy. never called on
it in vain, nor will the natios ever have
cause to attribute its want of success under
myself or under other commanders to any
failure of patriotism or bravery in that
noble body OF American soldiers.
No man can justly charge upon any
portion of that army, from the command
ing general to the private, any lack of de-
votion to the service Of the United States
Government, and to the cause of the Con.
stitulon and the Union. They have prov
cd their lealty in much sorrow, suffering
and danger, and through the very shadow
of death. Their comrades, dead on all
the fields where we fought, have scarcely
more claim to the honor of nations rev.
erence, than the survivors to the justice of
nations gratitude.
The report covers the period from the
Goth Of July, 1861, to Novenber 7th, 1852.

Working Girls.

Happy girls--who cannot love them
With checks like rose, bright eyes and
elastic step, how choerfu!ly they 60 to
work. Our world for it, such girls will
make excellent wives. Blessed indeed will
the men be who secure such prizes.
Contrast those who do nothing but sing
all day, and live to follow the fashions /;
who never earn the bread they eat; or the
shoes they wear; who are languid and
lazy from one weeks end to another. Who
but a simpleton and a popinjay would pre-
fer one ol the latter, if he were looking for
a companion give u5 the working girls -
they are worth their weight in gold =
Your never see them mincing along, or
jumping a dozen feet to steer clear oi a
spider or fly. They have no affection, or
silly airs about them, when they meet you,
they speak without putting on half dozen
airs, or trying to show off to better advan'
tagc, and you feel as you were talking
to a human peing, and not to a painted or
fallen angel.
If girls knew how sadly they miss it.
while they eudeavor to show of their deli
cate hands and unsoiled skin, and put on
a thousand airs, they would give worlds
for the situation of the working girls, who
are above them in Intelligence, in honor,
in everything, as tho heavens is above the
earth,

ADDRESS OF THE CARRIER BOY,
- TO THE PATRONS OF THE -

"A Happy New Year." full of health and oy,
TO Friends and Patrons of the Carrier Boy
year ol smiling plenty, and of gain;
Of warming sunshine, and onrchiug rain
A year to gladden. all the sons of toll;
Rich in rewards to tlors of the soil
A year to crown with wreaths Of priceless fame,
All those who strive to win lasting name {;
year of ease to sons OF fiery Mars,
Free from the stains Of murders, crimes and wars
year of triumph in Mechanics arts
Of great success to Cupid ani his darts.
For him whose cruel doom it is, to strive
With poverty and want; Who scarce can live
On scanty pttance which his hands procure,
May thrifty, golden moments be in store.
And oh to him whose days passed in pain
His body Weakened racked his aching brain;
May quick delivcrance, like angel, come
And spread her pinions DER his lonely home,
Oh when ahlicons thicken, kiss the rod.
1t smes to teach the truth--lhere is Il God.
Cheer up! What though the skies be black as night,
Cheer up! The morning dawus the skies are bright
A happy new Year then, to one and all.
May joyous moments, like the snow flakes, fall
And met almost insensibly away,
Till health aud comfort greet next new year day.
Good Father Time drives on the foeng years,
As if the grey haired william had no fears
Of growing old, and not doomed to die;
Aud yield his place to vast eternity.
Yet this short year. quickly gliding by,
Was flied with deeds of noorety
Grim visage1 war, with desolang train,
Sweeps, ruthless 'cr our fertile plain;
Leaves nought to mark the conQuering hero's track,
But heaps Of smouldering ruins, burned and black,
Her fields unsighty with their bleaching bones,
Her hlighted valleys, and her ruined homes,
Her broken households and her widows sighs,
The tears Of sorrow in the orphans eyes,
All tell tale OF carnage, war and crime,
The "Loolicst picture in the book Of Time.
Oh, my it cease to yex opposing lands,
Scnhe its red sword and wash its blood stained hand
Though factions rage throughout the land,
Tha. CoNsnrUToN firm shall stand
though dissolution be ''rcsolyed,'
The UNoN shall not be dssoyed;
Though bigotry ganst Jnslicc fights,
That Flag shall blozon Equal Rights y
Tor yet a mighty Party lives
TO guard the blessings Freedom gives
Base sycophants with hearts elate
May lawn around the Chair of State
But irlc men feel no coward dread,
For JAcKsoN's spirit is not dead
1t warns the Democratic breast,
From North to South, from East to West;
While, mid the fury of the storm,
Defiant stands Young llckry forml
That spirit, reused, will prove its might
Wien secret Wrong, dragged into light
ITI$t show the banner thot it waves,
Upheld by Abolition Knaves!
Then worthy Of its ancient fame,
Democracy -undyiug name -
Shall broader, higher, stronger grow,
Triumphant Ger the skuking foe
The writer cf these oiT-haud lines
70 qnite another view incljncs

When men have license to be gag.
