What! hoist the white flag when our triumph is nighi

And the rags Of bis black banner dropping a~Ey?
Tear down the strong me that our nation has WOn
He's co-ard wbo sb-i~Is f~- the lift Of the sword
He's traitor who mocks At the sacrifice poured;
Nameless and homeless the doom that should blast
The knsve who stands idly peril is past,
But he who submits when the thunders have burst
And victory daWns, is Of crowds the worst
Isl the old spirit dead Are we broken aHs weak.
That cravens so sbsmeIessly lift the white check
To court the swift insult. nor blush at the blow,
The tools Of the Treason and friends Of the fOel
See. Asarchy smiles at the Peace which they ask,
And the eyes Of DlsuniOn fash through the mask
Give thanks ye brave boys who by vale and by cragi
Bear onward, uhfaltering, our noble old flag,
Strong arms Of the Union, heroes living and dead
For the blood Of your VslOr is uselessIy shed!
No soldiers green laura is promised you here,
But the white rag of f"sympathy shortly shall cheer
And You, ys war martyrs, why preHsh from your

How csptives are nursed by the masters Of slaves,
Or, living, still linger in shadows Of Death
Puff out the starved muscle recall the faint breath,
And shout till those towards rejoice al the cry;
"By the hands Of the Union We fought foF we dieP'
By the God our Fathersi this shame we must share
But it grows too debaEing for freemen to bear,
And Washington, jackson, will turn in their graves
When the Union shall rest on two races Of slaves
Or, spurning the spirit which bound it Of yOrs,
And sundered. exists ~ nation no more!

The Peace Democracy.

The Peace Democracy of this and other
States are constantly praying for peace, as
serting the duty of the authorities to make
every comprsmise for peace, and when they
desire to clinch their sophistries on this sub
ject arrogantly claiming that there is no
treason in desiring speedy peace But all
good men believe that there is treason in
the position assumed on this subject by the
dough-faces in the North, in which they
pray for, hope for and work for peace
either treason or idiotic folly, The dough
face leaders know that there can be no
peace except by the suppression of the rebel
lion. Peace can only come by the triumph
of the Federal arms. The men who oppose
the war, as the dough-faces do, in order to
secure peace, are doing more for the rebel
cause than the rebels themselves. Every
word uttered for peace short of the full tri-
umph of our arms, is an argument in favor
of treason, and of course those who thus
speak are little better than traitors Hence
the men who clamor for peace, either do
not know what they are thinking about, or
they are in favor of peace based on a de-
molition of the Union-a1ed that as treason

more rare than he should be- Why is it
that selfishness predominates in the heart !?
that he only is considered friend who has

one who will act as he feels, and speak as he
thinks. But among the humble and pure,
you will occasionally find the germ pure
friendship. Ye who have found a true
friend, appreciate his worth If he labors
to benefit you, say not word, perform not
an act, that will send thrill ofpain to his or
her bosom. If there is crime that betrays
Vile heart, it is the wounding Of pure af-
fection. Many one has seen when too late
the error of his course. When the grave
has concealed his best friend, he felt-ah

The Increase of Immigration.

The English press and public are greatly
distressed at the immens " increasing emf
grafton from Ireland to this country The
weekly returns here show that Europe is
throwing the most stalwart, and possibly
the most valuable portion of her population
into our. cities by thousands. For years
immigration has not been so large as it is
now The demand for labor, consequent
upon the war; the vacant places to be filled
In the work shops. farms and factories
throughout the land, from which thousands
have gone forth to battle for the Union,
and the advanced rate of wages which labor
commands, are no doubt, the inducements
which have quickened emigration. And it is
only beginning; for when the secessionists
have succeeded in exterminating the black
race, as they are rapidly doing, and when
the war is over, there will be an illimitable
field for European laborers in the South
In the course Of a year or two there will be
room and abundant employment for some
three. or four millions Of foreign laborers
and, of course, according to the system of
demand and supply, they will come here.
We are, therefore, but III the infancy of an
immigration Of thews and sinews,
quick brains. brave hearts and industrious
habits, for it. is only men possessing these
qualities who have the enterprise to make
start in a new country and take opportunity

Taken at his Offer.

At the Ladies Fair recently held in Col
umbus, Ohio, pretty Indian girl was OBJ
served exerting her persuasive powers to
their utmost tension, trying to induce a GER
tain military gent, who ranks as Captain, to
buy bead basket, or some other ornament
she had in her possession. As the gallant
Captain had been gouged an unlimited num-
ber of times during the evening, he didn t
see it; but, thinking to startle the maiden,
said, jokingly, Don't want to buy your trim
kets but I'll give you FIVE dollars for a
kiss. The maiden reflected moment
she was laboring in noble cause, for the
soldiers good. surely in such case there's s
no harm - SO, in the twinkling of the eye,
she said: Done, sir - and, as he expressed
it, she gave him a whopper right on the
cheek. Military drew back, abashed. The
crowd saw it and laughed. There was but
one way of escape-he pulled out his some
what depleted wallet and forked over "
He then rushed trantically up stairs and
drowned his sorrow in flowing bowl of oys-
ter soup. The maiden, in the meantime,
maintained her accustomed tranquility, and
yet survives, aftting monment to woman S
patriotic spirit.
