PArnErIc.-In the mountains Of California
were two sweethearts, Betsy and Peter.
One day Betsy's mother died, and the res
pectful neigh6ors followed in solemn pro
cession to the burial. As tile coffin was
lowered into the grave, overcome by her
grief, Betsy swooned, Peter spranS for
ward and supported the maiden, ondeayor-

ties as, Betsy, speak to your own dear
Peter" Vain attempt Gazing on the pale
lids which lay on the sweet eyes as lifeless
as if they had closed forever, he heaved
deep sigh, and turning to the bystanders
said in tone of bitter anguish, "l1l bet

CANT CHASE. Quo, March 9i, 1854.
GDTroR ONO STATE louRNAL--N Sir; The fol-
lowing lines were handed me a few days ago by a
rebel prisoner Of war, with the request that would
send them 20 you for publication, as they expressed
his fstarc sentiments.
Respectfully, C. u. sAUSsER,
lst Lieut., sSth o.V.t.
Together togctherl Obi, why should we part ?
Together in hand, and together in heart!
Shoulder to shoulder, as ever before,
oh, still let us strive for the Union OF yore
Oh, well may We bleed as our forefathers blcd,
For Liberty dies when the Union is dead
Tlren still let us cling 10 our Union of old,
Ii is better than all of our lives and our gold.
Northerncr Southerncr, still you are ono,
Spite of the foul deed that traitors have done,
Spite Of your bloodshcd and spite of your hate,
Living or dead you are joined in the fate.
As one you have risen, as one you must fall
And ono flag or no flag must foat over ALL
For better or worse we have plghtcd our troth,
And the ruins of the Union must bury us both.
Then bloody and long though the contest may be,
Our freemcn must fight for the cause of the tree
Though rivers of blood may yet delugo the land,
Our hearts must not fail us, nor slacken our hand,
No counting Of cost for the Union is worth
All the lives of the South and the lives of tho North
For what is of value to you aud tn me,
Ii the stars shall be torn from the flag Of the free
Together together! Join hands once again!
Though years be before us of toll and ut pain.
Together! together We conquer or fall,
For one flag or no flag must float over all

Many n flower, most sweet and graceful,

Waiting but the charming sunshine,

To ope its matchless beauties,
To the worlds admiring view.

Ere they burst the clasping petals,
Ere the human bud expands,

Aud golden sunset hours;

And bubbing brooks,

More sweet shall be,

To kiss upon the sly.
Oh, let them build their lofty rhymes

Than miss the bliss that's in kiss

The Grand Campaign.

We have no official intelligence yet Of the
operations of the Army of the Potomac since
its crossing Of the Rapidan. The reports which
we received by telegraph yesterday, however,
we conclude are true to this extent: that on
Thursday, in the neighborhood of the old
Charlottesville battle ground, there was
sharp engagement, and that it was resumed on
Friday, and probably interrupted yesterday by
rainy weather. This, however. is only conjec
turs, and whether the enemy has been driven
into bis intrenched winter camp, or down the
roads to Richmond, we have yet to learn. In
any event, the cooperating armies Of General
Grant must eventually demolish those Of the
rebellion. East and West.
The successful landing of General Buffers
powerful column on the south side Of the James
river, between Petersburg and Richmond,
meantime. will be very apt to result in his oc
cupation Of the rebel capital before General
Lee can come to its rescue. General Beaure-
gard. with twenty or thirty thousand men, if at
Petersburg. as recently reported, has been out
OF from Richmond, and must fight in the open
field, against superior force Of veterans, be-
fore he can return to The city or preserve its
vital communications If in Richmond, these
communications are already cut off. Tho
plans of General Grant have been carefully
arranged to cover all contingencies, in order
to secure both the demolition Of the main rebel
army and the capture OF Richmond. The
rains which visited us yesterday may have in |
corrupted active operations; bat if so, 1t will
y only for day or two; for the soldier who |
