THE HOSPITAL.
-

Narrow beds by one another
White and low
Through them softly, rs i'll church aisles,
Nurses GO
For the hot lips ice. drops bringing,
Cold and clear;
Or white eyelids gently closing
For the bier.
Strong men, in moment smit,en
Down from strength.
Brave men, now in anguish praying,
Death at length.
Burns the night lamp where the watchers
BY the bed,
Write for many waiting loved ono
He is dead"
One lies there in utter weakness
Shattered, faint
But his brow wears calm bofitting
Martyred saint;
And although the lips must quiYer,
They can smile,
AS he says, This will be over
In while.
" AS the old crusaders, weeping
In delight,
Knelt when Zion's holy city
Rose in sight,
So fling asida my weapon,
From the din,
To the quietness of heaven
Entering in.
Standing in the solemn shadow
OF Gods hand,
Love ofglory fading from me,
Love of land,
thank God that He has let me
Strike one blow
For His poor and helpless people,
Ere go.'
White and winter grows the glory
On his brow.
Does he see the Towers of Zion
Rising now 2
Stands the doctor weary, hurried,
Ry his bed
"Ilereis is room for one more wounded
He is dead"

Ne want a religion that goes iuto the fam

spituful when the dinner is late; keeps tho
wife from being spteful when the husband
tracks the newly.washed floor with his
muddy boots, and makes the husband mind
iul of the scraper and door.mat amuses
the children as well as instructs them ;
wins as well as governs them; projects the
honeymoon into The harvest moon, and
makes the happy hours like the Eastern 6g-
tree, bearing in its bosom at once the beau

the ripened fruit. We want religion that
not only bears on the sinfulness OF sin but
on the rascality Of lying and stealing re.

to advance tho world will not pull all the

ny BAYARD TAYLOR.


What! hoist the VIII te flag when our triumph
What! couch before Treason? make Freedom
lie?
What spike all our guns when the foe is at
bay
And the rags of the black banner dropping
away9
Tear down the strong nOmo that our nation
has won,
And strike her brave bird from his home in
the sun?
He's coward who shrinks from tho lift Of
the Sword
He's traitor who mocks at the sacrifice
poured;
t'~r,slsss aud homeless the dUum nat
should blast
The knave that stands idly till pori is past,
But he who submits when the thuuders
have burst
And victory dawns, is of towards the worst
Is the old spirit dead' Are we broken and
weak,
That crevens so shamclcssly lit the white
To court the swift insult, nor blush at the
blow,
The tools of the treason and friends of the
foe!
See! Anarchy smiles at the peace which
they ask,
And the eyes of Disunion fash out through
the mask
Give thanks, 20 brave boys, who by vale
and by crag
Bear onward, unialtering, our noble old flag,
Strong arms of the Union, heroes living and
dead,
For the blood of your valor is uselessy
No soldiers green laurel is promised you
here,
But the white rag cf sympathy" softly
shall cheer
Are you, ye war martyrs, who preach from
your graves
How captives are nursed by the masters of
slaves,
Or, living, still lingcr in shadows Of Death,
Puff out the starved muscle, recall tho faint
breath,
And shout till those towards rejoice at the
cly:
"By the hands of the Union we fought for
we diel'
BY the God of our Fathers! this shame we
must share,
But it grows too dobasing for freemen to
bear
And Washington, jackson, will turn in theil
graves
When the Union shall rest on two races oi
slaves.
Or, spurning the spirit which bound it OF
yore,
And suudered, exist as a nation no more!

INvAsIoNs OF THE North DEMAND.
ED.-The southern presses are pretty
generally on the rampage again for scar
rying the war into the enemy's country.
The Savannah Republican insists that
the Yankees have too long been handled
with kid gloves, and cries out:
Then let US carry the war, with all its
attendant horrors, away from our own
soil to the soil of the enemy. Increase
the army of northern Virginia to two
hundred thousand effective men; push
them forward, and let them desolate as
they go, and we shall have peace within
sixty days. We need have no fears OF
points south with such an army moving
into Pennsylvania and New York. Our
small garrison, with the home guards,
would not only protect the country, but
retake every southern post on the main
land now held by the enemy. The lat
ter would have use for their troops else
where, and by rapid movement we can
readily accomplish our purpose-taking
Baltimore and Washington-before they
get there.
The Montgomery (Alabama) Mail goes
for several invasions at once, and indeed
would transfer all the rebel armies to free
soil, giving these strong reasons for the
change Of base:-
Early in the coming spring, with our
trans Mississippi army we must invade
Missouri, and with Gen. Lees army we
must invade Ohio, and with Gen. john
'ton's army move through Kentucky and
Tennessee into Indiana and Illinois,
Without this, if we remain at home, and
attempt to defend a thousand points from
4 thousand attacks from an enemy com
our seaboard and navigable riv-
ers, with ample means for transferring
their armies where they choose, and with
every part of our territory assailable to
cavalry raids, our agriculture will be ru-
ined, and our manufactures will be de-
Let US INVADE them with our
whole force Missouri, Kentucky, Mary
land and the "copperheads" will swell our
ranks. We want food, raiment and gold.
Let US 90 and take what we need. The
army will receive the order, Of to
the North" with a shout. There let them
stay until our ruthless invaders cry for
peace. Better die there, with arms in
our hands, than starve here or expire in
chains. The best protection we can give
those we leave behind will be to get the
helpless Of the north as hostages in our
power.

thrifty neighbors who are interested in
gardens, fruit trees and hen roosts, are
requesting the authorities to keep US

on the principle of preferring the we'll

the belief, far more aattering, that this is

To my mind rumor Immediately becomes
a personiiication, ungainly and very far
from trustworthy. 1t is so well versed
in alchemy that it can transform every
thing into golden evidence. Very often,
imagine, it stalks round in Vermont,
playing upon the credulity of many peo-
pie, sometimes full Of prescience as to
military movements and changes; some
times in total disregard of the Preachers

From the Eleventh Regiment.

The following is an extract from a
private letter. There is hope that the
11th regiment is going to the front.
FIT. STEVENS, d. c., April 20.
Rumor says that the 1st VT. Artillery,
is going to the front pretty soon that it
is going to abandon the forts, those ex-
cellent government securities and run the
awful chances Of investing in the varying
fortunes of the Army of the Potomac /;
that it is to be present at the coming
scene--shall / say of the tragedy p
when those master actors Grant and Lee,
shall come upon the stage together
They say it will be attached to the sixth
corps if it should so happen we may
yet make great noise on some glorious
or inglorious, field; for this large rcgi-
ment can man a big train of those
"Mortal engines, whose rude throats
The immortal Jove's dread clamors counterfeit
Do we desire 70 go? To all appearance
great majority of the regiment do de-
sire to go. There has now been consid-
cradle talk Of our going, and some pre-
paration made, and am sure there will
be much disappointment if we don't 60.
But you know the hunter turned pale
with fright when, on inquiring of the
woodsman it he had seen any lions
tracks about there, be was told that the
lion himself was near by. 1t may be so
with US, but we do want to see at least
some Of the rebel tracks around in Viz
ginia.
RUm0r, however, is not the word that
! should have used in this matter;
shoud say there is talk of sending our
regiment to the front. II stands like this /:
Gen. Sedgwick has asked for the LIST VT.
Artillery; he has talked about il with
Col. Warner, they are personally ac-I
quainted, belonging to the same regiment
IN the regular army. 1t only remains
lor The war department to decide whether
It will answer to make these garrisons
any smaller or not; II so, we 60 if not,
we stay. Now you know just as much
about it as any one in the regiment does.

will hear that We are going to move, that
we haze nsored, and all that, than because
have much faith in The regiments being

A detailed account Of the recent army
movements in Western Louisiana fully
confirms the hints we have had before Of
hard and desperate fighting, and also
shows that the advantage at the close oil
the three days fighting was decidedly
with our troops. The nature of the
country was such, thickly covered with
woods or underground, til a t artillery
could scarcely be used at all, and the
fighting was done at short range and had
all the essential features of desperate
hand to hand contest for life and victory.
The 10000 rebel troops engaged were
ably handled by Kirby Smith, assisted
by Dick Taylor, Green and Price, but
they were completely outgeneralled by
Banks and his corps and division COM
manders, n Z Banks withdrawal to
Pleasant Hill and his junction with Gen.
Smith gained US the victory. Since the
battle of Pleasant Hill! We have gained
another decisive victory over party of
1000 rebels that attacked two of our
transports, and have deprived the rebels
Of Gen. Green who was killed in that
engagement, one of their best and bra.
vest officers. Latest advices received
states that Gen. Banks was at Grand
Ecore on the 10Th and would very soon
make another advance upon the rebels.

/ MISCHIEF DONE BY THE BOUNTY
SwINDLERs,-The scallawags that were
picked up by the volunteer agents and
sold to town and city committees to fill up
quotas, turn out to be poor materials, as
might have been foreseen. Gen. Wistar
writes from headquarters at Yorktown,
Va, to Gen. Dix in New York, and ex-
presses himself strongly on the subject,
as follows -
An extended spirit Of desertion pre-
vailing among the recruits recently re-
ceived from the north, in some of the re-
giments of my command, has led me to
make some inquiries resulting in appa-
rently we'll authenticated information,
which beg respectfully to communicate
to you in this unofficial manner, deeming
it required by humanity, no less than by
our common desire to benefit the service.
There seems to be little doubt that many,
in fact / think / am justified in saying
the most, of these unfortunate men, were
either deceived Or kidnapped, or both, in
the most scandalous and inhuman man
ner, in New York city, where they were
drugged and carried off to New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut, mustered in and
uniformed before their consciousness was
fully restored. Even their bounty was
obtained by the parties who were instru-
mental in these nefarious transactions,
and the poor wretches find themselves,
on returning to their senses, mustered
soldiers, without any pecuniary benefit.
Nearly all are foreigners, mostly sailors,
both ignorant of and Indifferent to the
objects of the war in which they thus
suddenly find themselves involved. Two
men were shot here this morning for de-
sertion, and over thirty more are now
awaiting trial or execution. These ex-
amples are essential, as we all under
stand but it occurred to me, general,
hat you would pardon me for thus calling
POUR attention to the greater crime CON-
nitted in New York, of kidnapping these
men into positions where, to their iguor-
,nce, desertion must seem like vindi-
,ation Of their own rights and liberty.
