By PRIVATE MILES REILLY
THREE years ago to-day
We raised our hands 10 Heaven,
And on the rolls Of muster
Our names were thirty-seven;
There were just thousand bayOnets,
And the swords were thirty-seyen,
As we took the oath of service
With our right hands raised to Heaven.
Oh twas a gallant day,
In memory still adored,
That day Of our sun-bright nuptials
With the musket and the sword
Shrill rang the flies, the bugle5 blared,
And beneath q Cl0udless Heaven
Twinklcd a thousand bayonets,
And the swords were thiTty-seyen.
OF the thousand s,alwart bayonets
Two hundred march to-day;
Hundreds lie in Virginia swamps,
And hundreds in Maryland clay;
And other hundreds, less happy, drag
Their shattered limbs around,
And envy the deep, long, blessed sleep
OF the battle-lield's holy ground.
For the swords--one night, a week ago,
The remnant, just eleven,
Gathered around banqueting board
With seats for thirty-soveni
There were two limped in on crutchea,
Aud two had each but hand
To pour the wine and raise the cup
As we toasted "Our flag and land"
And the room seemed filled with whispers
As We looked at the vacant seats,
And, with choking throats, we pushed asd
The rich but untasted meats;
Then in silence We brimmcd our glasses,
As We rose up-just eleven,
And bowed as We drank 10 the loved and n
dead
Who had made us THRTY-sRyEs!

General Kimball has declined tho

Union State Convention for Lieutenant
Governor In letter to Colonel Ter.
riil Of the Governors stat, he says he
wishes no. Office, and will accept none
until the rebellion is crushed, preferring
to fght the rebels ia the field to enjoy.
ing cry position of ease at home. At
the same time he is very grateful for the
compliment paid him by the Convention,
and will redouhle his efforts to merit the
kind favor OF his countrymen.
For some weeks we have been aware
that il was General Kimbalrs intention
To remain in active service until the re
hellion Yves put down A letter TO this
effect was received by gentleman in

fore, at his deelination OF the nomina.
ton for Lieutenant Governor General
Kimball has made reputation that wi
last as long as history, and if the war
continues and be meets with the oppor,
tunity he will add to that reputation by
still other heroic achievements.

Lieutenant Governor in place of Gener

tbs ELECTIONS ia this State, so far as
we have been able 10 learn, have been
unusually favorable to the Union party.
It has gained steadily in nearly every
precinct from which we have received
any returns. We notice, too, that there
has not been much splitting Of tickets.
The contest IT. all the townships has
been narrowed down to a strict party
fight, and the result has shown d pFepon-
dereuee Of Union or Copperhead senti
ment In some Counties the Union men
were not so thoroughly organized as they
should have been, but as u general thing
they seem TO have been alive to the i'm
portance Of presenting united front,
and have contested the election with en-
srgy and success. We trust that they
will continue the good work thus happi
ly begun. Not Township in the State
should be neglected. Organizations
should be perfected in ALL II matters net
how largely in the minority Union men
may be in some Townships, they should
get together, and make preparations to
poll every vote, even though they find
themselves unable. to.make any converts.
One Union vote cast for the State ticket
in Township where II stands alone tells
as strongly for the success Of that ticket
as any vote cast in Townships where the
Union party is largely in the majority.
Therefore We urge Union voters not to
be discouraged and prevented from or
ganizing and working, because they hap
pen to be in the minority in any partlcu-
lar Township. 1t may depend upon
them to save tho State. The aaccess OF
our State ticket depends upon the ener-
gy and determination Of the Union men
in the strongly Copperhesd Counties.
Resolve now that you viii poll at the
October election every Union vote in
your respective Townships, and then
canvass your townships to see hoE many
votes that will make.
Remember that our victory in oeto-
Der depends upon organization, energy
aud determination.

Is 4 QUANpARy.-We have eonyersed'
within the last few days, with large
number of prominent Kentucky Union
men-men who have not the slightest
sympathy with the rebels-and we find
they are in some tribulaiion.
They are opposed to portions of the
policy of the Administration, aud do not
feel willing to vote for the reelection of
Mr. Lincoln as President, yet they fear
they will have no other alternative but to
vote for him or General Mcclellan.
But as they say every rebel secession
ist and rebel sympathizer in Kentucky
proposes to vote for Mcclellan if he is =
| candidate, and of course the true Union
men viii not vote with the secessionists;
hence some of these Union men express
the belief tbatis Mcclellan is the Cop
perhead nominee that Kentucky will cast
her electoral vote for Mr.. Lincoln.

Perhaps no election has been held in
any part Of the country which more
clearly exhibits the hopelessness Of the
Copperheads' aspiration for Office than
the recent contest for Judge Of the
Third Judicial Circuit Of Illinois--ihe
District in the lo%er part Of Egypt. The
contest was between Hancock, the
Union candidate, and Aulkey, the Cop
perhead The canvass was conducted
with great energy by both parties, and
the result shows Hancock ahead from 80
