The rebel hord,s withdr W,
The shout was sent to northern l.nds,

Our navy cchos s back the cry,
From Mobiles waters blue,
Each crashing broad,ide loudly asks,

Again from Shenandoah's vale,
The sound is heard anew,
Upon the wings of victory borne,
Mcclellan, how are youl
Now round tho rebel capitol,
From Union batteries true,
Is heard in laundering cannon tones.
Mcclellan, how arc youl
From every Southern for t and field,
Our gallant boys in blue,

Nobody then, will know or care,
How the little Mackerels do.

The boys would lie very glad to get

II grinds us considerably when we think
that the vile traitors Of the north will ex-

are unworthy. while We who are defending

they now? Does this look like they can.

form such conclusions is mystery. except

EDITOR RErrELicAS:--It might be OF
some interest to the readers Of the Repub-

concerning it, although we have been in
the field nearly twenty live months. and
have passed through some very hard trials.

in battle, and on the Skrmish line. vet it
has not been more than barely noticed by
the journals OF freedom in the North. We
10 not lay the blame of this to any one but
ourselves. There are enough Of us that
are competent to represent the Battery as
1t deserves, bat our m mo,lesty or something
else has prevented any one from under.a-
king the task heretofore This shall be
said no longer. SO now for it, as the boy
said when he ran 10y himself.

tants are nearly all scce,h or rebels, as we
soldiers call them. Some of them are verv

Union soldiers. Our duty is to guard the
railway running from Nashville to Chatta-
sooga. The Battery is row busy in erect

curve OF the railroad, and on the north

The following vigorous lines were sent by
soldier TO the Missouri Democrat:
Take off thy Sword, Mcclellan.

Take off thy sword, Mcclellan,
Take of thy coat of blue;
Strip quickly from thy shoulders,
Those starry badges two;
You are no more soldier,
You've changed yourbase again,
Or Peace's platform standing,

When first we met, Mcclellan,
You led hero band;
A grand, devoted army

That YOU would Richmond take;

MECHANICAL GENIUs-The war has served to
develop larger degree of mechanical genius
than any circumstance that could have occurred
to the nation. 1t is a popularity OF the an

and if the practice of his vocation does not con-
sumo his time entirely, he is continually expert
menting in some department of the arts or scien-
ces This principle applies with equal propriety
to the American soldier, and the result is the
invention of nnumerable conveniences which
nothing but the exgencies of military service
could have suggested, and suppose that,
should the continue long enough some in

| EXODUS OF VETERAN REsERvEs.-On Monday
morning last, Companies G., I, and X of the LIST,
| and G, HI, I and X of the 9th Regiments, Veteran
| Reserves, were relieved from duty at this post,
| where they have been for the past three months,
| and ordered to report at their respective regi-
| mental rendezvous in Washington. Preceded
| by the Post Band, which accompanied them to
the city, they marched through camp, presenting
a very imposing appearance, the perfect preci-
cison of action and faultless condition of their
uniforms, arms and accoutrements being highly
| praised by all that witnessed their departure
A number of the clerks employed in the differ
| ent departments of camp being attached to these
companies, inconvenience will doubtless
| be experienced in introducing new hands to fill
| the places vacated by their withdrawal, but I'M
der the excellent discipline of the officers in
charge there can be no fear of anything like
| fusion in the operations of the camp A force of
| unassigned Veteran Reserves arrived the same
afternoon to take the place of those relieved.
AN APPEAL TO THE SOLDIERS GEN EROsITY.
We are requested to announce that a ladies'
fair will be opened shortly at the Odd Fellows
| Hall in Washington, to which soldiers are invi-
! ted to contribute any specimens of their handi-
work, relics Of the war, etc., that they may have
on hand or see fit to prepare for that purpose
While it is desirable that all contributions of this
| kind should be free-will offering to the cause
for which this fair will be held, the fair will,
through its agent in camp, DR.. e. A. Vannort,
Surgeon in Charge, pay soldiers for their speci-
mems if they desire Articles left at his office

FROM NRWBRRN,

NEEBERE, March 20.
The recent raid on Richmond, caused the
rebel General Rioket to send several Of
his regiments from this State to Virgin
is, just ss he was ready to commence op-
or@tieAs in this diraetioh. These regi-
ments are returning however, evlaenuy
with view Of carrying out their original
intentions.
Governor Vance, in one Of his recent
speeches, said that General Lee depends
upon North Carolina for the support
Of his army. He dwells on the importance
Of keeping the railroads in good condition,
on the ground that Lee could not remain
in Virginia 48 hours after they should fail
TO perform their mission.
The Wilmington Journal, speaking Of
the success Of the blockade runners in
getting into that port says the statistics
for the pastyesr show that, on sn average,
only one out Of twenty have been captured.
In rough weather the blocksders are COM
pelled to 60 to sea, which, with the excep-
tiSn Of dark nights, is the most auspicious
time for our skilful pilot who, with the
aid OF our perfect system Of signal lights,
seldom miss their mark.
The report Of Governor Vance, showing
the amount Of rebel supplies received
through this blocksded port, discloses a
most startling state of things. Every
thing ths enemy could ask for is received
through this channel in great quantities.
An experienced naval officer has remarked
that owing to the coast, its numerous chan
nels embracing an area Of thirty miles,
the entire navy Of the United States could
not make the blockade Of Wilmington ef-
feotusl.

At the insugurstions Of the new Gov
ernor Of the free State Of Louisiana, which
was celebrated at New Orleans on the 4th
Of March, the music probably surpassed,
in noise at least anything previously at
tempted. It was arranged and conducted
by Mr.. P. s Gilmore, Of Boston. The vol
ces Of 5000 school children were accom-
panied by the strains Of several military
bands, and the chorus was sWelled by the
beating Of so anvils, by the ringing Of all
the bells in tbs city, and by the thunder of
so pieces Of artillery The cannon were
fred simultaneously by one electric wire,
the ends Of which were brought to Mr..
Gilmore's table, and the times of ringing
the bells were controlled by connecting 3
wire from the table with the telegraph Of
the Fire Department. It is said that this
bold and novel experiment was entirely
successful, and that the blending Of tre-
menduous sounds was impressive beyond
description.

There is no doubt Of the fsct that Lse Is
daily receiving aceessions to his army, and
Is preparing for an early opening Of the
approaching campaign.
His cavalry is being reorganiEed, and
although 8 smaller organization than last
summer, is equally formidable.
Infantry are coming up from various
quarters, and in few weeks We shall
doubtless have in our front an srmy not
ct ali inferior to that which confronted US
last season.
The reorganization Of the Army Of the
Potomac is not yet commenced.

generally understood last week, that the
