THE UNKNOwN DEAIp:
By HENRY TISIROD.

The rain is FLASHING on my sill,
But all the winds of Heaven are still;
And 20 it falls with that dull sound y
Which. thrills US in the church. yard ground,
When the first spadeful drops like lead
Upon the coffin OF the dead.
Beyond my streaming window pane,
l cannot see the neghborng vane;
Yettrom its old familiar tower
The bell comes, muhjed, through, the shower.
What arrange and unsuspected link
Ot feeling touched has made me- thlha-
While with vacant so ul and eye
watch that grey and stony sky,
q name!ess graves on battle-plains,
Washed,b single winters rains;
Where, some beneath Virginian hills,
And some by green Atlantic rlls
Some by the waters Of the West
A myriad unknown heroes rest
an not the chiefs who, dying, see
Their flags in front Of victory
Or, at their life-blood's noble cost,
Pay for battle nobly lost,
Claim from their monumental beds
the bitterest tears nation sheds.
Beneath yon lonely monnd--the spot
BY all save some lond fow forgot
Lie the true martyrs Of the fight,
Which strikes for freedom and Tor right
vi them, their patriot zeal and pride
The lofty faith that with them died
NO grateful page shall farther tell ...
Than that'so many bravely fell /; e..
And we can only .dimly guess
What worlds Of all this worlds distress,
What utter. woe, despair and doarth,
Their fate has brought to many a hearth.
Just such sky as this should weep
above them, always where they sleep;
Yet haplT, az this very hour,
Their graves are like a lovers bower;
And natures self, with eyes unwct,
Obliv,ous Of the crimson debt
10 which she owes her April grace,
Laughs gaily DER their burial place.

From the Third Regiment.

April 81, 1864.
FRIEND EARLE,-We are at last
visited with what we can call spring
weather; our camp has once more a
lively appearance. The Vermont
brigade is in the best of spirits and
we are looking daily for our spring
campaign to open. I think | may
safely say the men are ready to do
their duty,
1t gives us much pleasure to watch
the proceedings of our new COM
mander Lieut.. Gen. U. S. Grant
He at once has seen the necessity of
taking all drilled men from New
York, Baltimore, Washington and
Alexandria, and putting them in the
field; he does not believe that it re-
quircs the best drilled men in those
forts and to do guard duty in those
cities. 1t makes them grumble some
to come out of good barracks and
take shelter tents. | do not think
active service will hurt them any :;
bringing them into the field gives
the men already there new courage !;
it gives us to understand that the
authorities are intending to do some
thing towards putting down this re-
bellion; we have had enough of this
raising a few men, putting them into
the field and have them killed of.
and then calling for few more.-
We have a powerful army in the
field and well drilled; we have also
a desperate and well drilled enemy
to come against US, who will fight to
the last, but if the people at the
north will come forward this spring
we can put down the rebellion, as
our enemies are forced to the most
means.
Last night the sad news reached
us of the surrender of Plymouth, n.
O., with its garrison of about $500
men, to the enemy; two companies
of I'd North Carolina Union soldiers

SOLDIERS PAY TO BE EoUALIzRD
AND RAISED. The House military COM
mittee on Friday reported the Senate bill
to equalize the pay of soldiers, which
was referred to them March 16, with
leave to report at auy time. Section
first gives the same bounties to colored
soldiers as whites, from and after May l.
The section of the Senate bill giving the
same pay to colored as to white soldiers,
in cases where they were enlisted under
such promise from the war department,
is unchanged. A section is added thai
So month of the pay of colored soldi-
ers shall be reserved to support their
families and any other relatives depend
ent on them for support. Section fifth
provides that on and after May the pay
of all private soldiers shall be SIC per
month, with corresponding increase for
non-commissioned officers. Senator
Wilson's bill concerning the pay and
substance of the army, redcuing the rs-
ton TO the old standard is incorporated
in this bill. Section eighth fixes The
compensation of paymaster's clerks at
$1,000.

Raising Corn.

Mr.. EDIToR,-As the season for
planting corn is approaching, wish
to say a word to my brother farm
ers, through the columns Of youl
paper, on the Importance of raising
more of this most profitable Of
crops. 1t is contended by many that
it is an uncertain crop, that there is
too much labor and expense attend
ing the cultivation Of it. But
think it can be proved, and in this
shall have the concurrent testimony
of all who have cultivated this crop
thoroughly for the last twenty years
that it is the most sure and profta.
bic crop raised. | well recollect a
remark made by Hon. f. s. French
several years ago, while conversing
with him on the importance OF
farmers raising more corn, which
struck me forcibly, viz; "That there
was no crop that kept poverty at a
distance like a crop of corn"
have raised a small piece of corn
every year for the past seventeen
years, and had an old fashioned
husking every year; and in that time
have not failed having a good crop
except one year, 1862, that owing to
the protacted drouth in the spring,
What other crops that we raise have
not proved more or less a failure in
that number of years.
There is more in the way corn is
covered when planted than every
one suppOses. First, the manure in
the hill should be every carefully
covered with earth, the corn drop
ped and covered at least two inches
in depth with fine pulverized earth,
taking care to remove every stone,
sod and every thing that will retard
the young shoot in its first efforts to
spring into life. Second, having
good seed, depend upon it, you will
have no trouble in its coming up we'll
if it is dry, it will keep moist,i wet
and cold it will keep warn. Third,
greensward turned over in the spring
consider the best for corn. A good
coat of green manure spread on the
grass, then turned under, good
narrowing, manure in the
nil with a compost of we'll rottedl
