Awake and to horse, my brothers, ~
For the dawn is glimmering gray,
And bark! in the cracking brushwoed
There are feet that tread this way
Who cometh?" GA friend ''Whs

Obi God, 1 sicken to tell
For the earth seems earth no longer,
And its sights are the sights of hell.
There's rapine and fire and slaughter,
From the mountain down to the shore
There's blood on the trampled harvest,
And blood on the homestead floor.
From the far off conquered cities,
Comes the voice Of. a stifled wall,
And the shrieks and moaps of the home
Ring like dirge on the gale. ser
I've seen from the smoking village,
Our mothers and daughters. fly,
I've seen where tho little children
Sank down in the burrows to die.
On the banks of the battle stained river
/ stood, as the moonlight shone.
And it glared in the face of my brother,
AS the sad wave swept him on. -.
Where my home was glad are ashes,
And horror and shame had been there,
For found on the fallen Intel
This tress of my wife's torn hair. -
They are turning the slave upon US, sga
Aud with more than the iend s.worst art
Have uncovered the fires of the savage
That slept in his untaught heart.
The ties to our hearts that bound him
They have rent with curses away,
And madden him with their madness
TO be ainIvst as brutal as they.
With halter and torch and Bible,
And hymns to the sound of the drum,
They preach the Gospel of murder,
And pr.y for lust's kingdom to come.
To saddle to saddle! my brothers
Look up to the rising sun,
And ask of the God who shines there
Whistler deeds like these shall be done
Whittier the yandal cometh,
Press home to his heart with.your steel,
And where'er at his bosom ye cannot,
Like the serpant, go strike at his heel.
thicket and wood go hunt him,
Creep up to his camp FIRE side,
And lei Ten of his cerpses blacken
Where one of our brothers hath died.
In his fainting, foot t-sore marches,
In his flight from the stricken fray,
In the snare of the lonely ambush;
The debts that we owe him pay.
In Gods hand alone is vengeance,
But He strikes with the hands of men,
And His blight would wither eur man

If we smote not the smiter again.
By the graves where our fathers slumber,
By the shrines where our mother

BY our homes and hopes Of freedom,
Let every man swear on his blade.
That he viii not sheath nor stay it,
Till from point ts hist it glow
With the flush of Almighty justice
In the blood of the cruel foe.
They swore; and the answering sunlight
Leapt red from their lifted swords, Z
And the hate in their hearts made echo
To the wrath in their burning words

THE VOLUNTEERS.

We have assem- blsd to commemorate
cenotaph which shall remind our chill
dren's children in the distant future Of
their fathers struggle in the days of the
great rebellion. This monument is to
perpetuate the memory of portion only,
Of those who have fallen for the nation in
this unhappy war; it is dedicated to the
officers and soldiers of the regular army.
Yet this is done in no class or exclusive
spirit, and in the act We remember with
reverence and love our comrades of the
volunteers who have SO gloriously fought
and fallen by our sides.
Each State will, no doubt, cemmemo
rate in some fitting way the services of
its sons who abandoned the avoeations of
peace and shed their blood in the ranks
will receive some memente of a nations
love, a nations gratitude. With what
heroism they have confronted death, have
wrested victory from a stubborn foe, and
have illustrated defeat, it we'll becomes
me to say, for it has been my lot to COM
mand them on many sanguinary beld.
| know that ] but echo the feelings of the
regulars when | award the high credit
they deserve to their brave brothers Of
the volunteers.
But we Of the regular army have no
States to look to for the honors due our
dead. We belong to the whole country.
We can neither expect nor desire the Gen
eral Government to make, perhaps, an in
vidious distinction in our favor. We are
few in numbers, small band Of comrades,
united by peculiar and very binding ties.
For, with many of us, our friendships
were commenced in boyhood, when we
rested beneath the shadow of the granite
hills which look down on US where we
stand; with others the ties of brother
hood were formed in more mature years
while fighting amid the rugged mountains
