A Carnival OF Blood

Fighting south OF the Rapldan For the
last few days has been almost a complete
carnival of blood. Enormous masses of
men have been hurled against each other
and struggled till compelled to cease BY
sheer exhaustion. Nor did one day suffice
for jhe combat; q nights rest, and the
next Cay at dawn the same columns faced
eacn other on the same ground, and whit
out advancing or retreating an apprecia-
bic distance, they stood and pourd volleys
into each others bosoms, until night
mercifully dropped her shadows over the
contestants. Even darkness at times
seemed insufficient to quench the thirst for
carnage, for once, at midnight, heavy col
umns met in front of the Wilderness and
slaughtered each other by thousands, with
out either gaining a decisive dozen feet of
territory.
Such sanguinary contests remind one of
the battles of the earlier ages. when vast
bodies Of athletic barbarians came ino con-
tact, and. foot to foot an intermingled
writing mass of struggling, bloodthirsty
men, butchered and killed, and killed and
butchered, until one party or the other
became so weak that its small remnant
finally fed to avoid complete externina-
ton
In palliation OF Grant, so for as these
enormous wholesale butchcries, this stolid
giving and receiving of deadly blows, are
concerned, it may be said that he was for
ccd to it by the tactics Of Lee. Before
his lines were formed-before his columns
had reached their designated positions
the re3el hordes we're upon them ike pom
derous avalanches. Grant had no chance
for strategy. no room for man@uvcring,-
he could emily hurry up his divisions as fast
as possible, anG to do his best to preserve
his army from being split to fragments un-
der the tremendous blows of his concen-
trated and powerful antagonist. When
The rebel strength had spent itself some
what in dashinS against the iron front of
the Federals. then came the first moment
in which Grant could avail himself of
strategy without subjccting himself to an
utilization. Sending Burnside around the
left to threaten Lees rear, he forced that
commander to change his position, and
thus, for time, was able to internit the
sickening routine of slaughter.
Il IS only in this country and under
American generalship that immense ar
aics meet and struggle for days on a restric-
ted space, anl then separate with no other
results than limit!ess lists of wounded and
dead O'cago Tins.

GENTLE MARY.

Summer had come, robed in her beauty,
Sunlight decked this world of care;
Birds their songs of gladness warbled,
Beauty sparklcd everywhere,
But, upon a couch of suff ring
Gentle Mary. moaning, lay,
Wasting meath the breath ofsickness,
Sinking meath its dread decay.
Two long years had Deaths dark shadow.
Hovered round that once glad home,
As if 10th to set his signet
On that brow where beauty bloomed:
But in brightness, just as daylight
GIlded first the orient morn,
Came group of unseen angels,
On the gentle breezes borne,
Floated in with noiseless motion
To the couch where Mary lay,
Maniled meath their snowy pinions-
See them bear her far away.
All there's sadness in that household,
Lone and bitter tears are shed,
Young and aged weep together
Der the loved and silent dead.
And the mother l.neels in anguish,
Clasps her treasure to her heart;
Could she thus resign her darling
Oh could she and Mary part
All start not at her anguish.
Wonder moi that she should weep;
'Tis a mothers heart that's riven
For the child she could not keep.
Other children gather round her,
Bnt the Bond is broken now,
And the clouds of sorrow gather
Round each fair and Youthful brow;
And they listen for her footsteps,
As they did in days of yore,
But they weep as they remember
Gentle Mary III come no more.
Long, ah, long those walls will echo
To the notes of sorrows wall,
And full many heart of pity,
Listen to the mournful tale,
When the twilight shadows deepen
There III be sorrow in that home;
For a chair will then be vacant
To remind them she is gone.
Mourning hearts weep moi in sadness,
There is light amid the gloom,
She III be first to bid you welcome,
When your work on earth is done.

The 20,GG0-Col. Coburn. The recen
call of the Governor of the several North
western States, approved by the President
is before the public. What these men are
wanted for may be inferred from passage
in the speech of Colonel John Coburn, the
distinguished commander Of the 35d In
diana, made night before last at Masonic
Hall. The Colonel said, in substance
The loyal mon must rally. The medicine
which was good for the rebels in the South
was good for the copperheads in the North.
There was danger that a disloyal Governor
mi ght be elected in Indiana. There was
danger that traitor who would make
terms with the rebels might succeed to the
Presidential Chair. To prevent such
things as these the loyal people were now
called upon"
We do the Colonel no injustice in Civ
ing his words nearly literally. What he
.ment can be Inferred b. those who heard
him and those who heard this truthful
statement.-I State Sentinel.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.


Genearl Rosecrans has decided that.
within the Departcment of Missouri, in
order to be permitted 70 attend religious
asscmblage or convocation, man must
take the oath of allegiance or give other
satisfactory evidence Of bis loyalty to the
Government of the United States.
These religious conventicles are we sup
pose, intended as means of grace to those
who attend them-the members imparting
to and receiving from each other, as they
may be respectively lacking or redundant
in the qualities which enter in to make up
the perfect christian character.
If this is the case, we find it impossible
to discover any sound reason for denying,
even to the unreclaimed copperhead, the
permission to attend them Ifthe:r intent
and effect IS as we have conjectured, it
seems to us that persons of reasonable
proclivities are the very ones who ought to
be encouraged to give their attendance:
that the doors should be thrown wide open
to such, and the utmost care be taken to
give them every opportunity to profit By
the exercises.
Ifthis is Gods war-if its beginning was in
a revival of the religious sentiment and
i's Prosecution the best modern exempli-
iica.ion Of the spirit of the Gospel, surely
nothing is wanting to a Christian whose
mind has not settled down in its favor, but
to bring him under the right Influences.
His soul detected, perhaps, by accidental
circumstances, may then recover its equi-
librium, and he who has hitherto been bar
rem, warmed by association with his more
perfectly rectifed brethren, may bud and
blossom anew, and bring forth fruit of the
most agreeable quality.
In looking for the reason which impcll-
ed Gen. Rosecrans to make the order n
question, we have been led to doubt whcth-
er it is not to be found in the absence of
true faith on his part. The act does not
manifest that implicit reliance ON the di-
vine character with which we have been
inclined to credit that officer. He seems
to fear:
Either that God will be overcome and
made TO change His mind in respect to the
merits of this contest, by few copper
heads that may chance to find their way
into his sacred premises;
Or, that the loyal Christians NAV be
turned over by Copperhead influence, and
be set to praying upon the wrong side OF
the question.
Or else he is in doubt whether God is
really OF his own party, and is afraid tc
have the question where he stands brought
to the crucical experiment.
At any rate-granting that the politca
questions of the times may come up for an
Interchange of views between the members
