Honors to the Hero.

The work of engraving the gold medal
for General Grant, in accordance with an
act of Congress passed in December last,
is in the hands of Mr.. A. G. Paquet, en-
graver at the United States Mint, this
great artist having been chosen by Mr..
Antropus, the designer. The medal is to
be made of pure gold, to weigh thirty
ounces. 1t is four inches in diameter
The following is abrief description of the
designs; On the center of the front of
the medal is a correct Photographic pro-
file of the General, partly encircled with
this inscription on the top: MAJOR
GENERAL ULYssIs GRANT" On the
lower part are the following words "Joint
resolution of Congress, December 18th,
1863" The embellishments are as fol-
lows; Near the outer edge is a circle con-
tanning two American flags, the staffs
crossing each other. The folds of the
great national emblem are entwined around
tobacco, cotton, sugar, and rice, the four
staple productions of the states wherein
General Grant has planted the flag of our
country. On the top is wreath of oak
and laurel neatly entwined On the rim
outside of these embellishments, are thir-
teen Stars, representing the original
States. On the other side of the medal
the design is beautiful and appropriate
1t represents the Goddess of Liberty seat
ed on sphere, her right hand resting
| gracefully on the national shield, with
the word "Donelson" thereon. To the
right of this is an eagle in the act of tax
ing an upward fight, with the American
flag pending in festoons from its beak-
The sacred emblem being thus raised dis
closes view of the city of Vicksburg on
one side, and Lookout Mountain and Chat
tanooga valley on the other, with scene
in front. The river Mississippi, bearing
on its bosom iron clads, transports, and
steamboats,, is also well represented in the
picture. On the lower centre of the med
al is a pyramid of war triumphs, dividing
the views of Vicksburg and Lookout
Mountain. The base of this part of the
design is field piece, near which may be
seen couple of soldiers. The outer rim
of this side of the medal also contains
thirteen stars, being the number in the
galaxy of the original Confederation
There is no other gold medal of this size
in this country, excepting the Ingrahan
medal. The engrayer expects to have the
work completed in seven months, for which
he will receive the sum of $4,000. We
may say that in response to the resolution
of Congress, a number of beautiful designs
were submitted; that of Mr.. Antrobus
being the most appropriate and beautiful
was selected. There will be number ol
bronze medals made from the dies after
the gold one shall have been completed.

A SONG. Air, The Sailor Brides Lament.

The moon was shining in the distant west,
NV head lay on my true loves breast,
Twas scarce six months since we were wed,
And oh! how swift the moments He'd
La, In, La, la, La, La, La, La,
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La,
Twas scarce six weeks since we were wed,
And oh how fast the moments fed.
Sweet love said we soon must part,
But let this cheer your saddened heart
That to protect our rights and laws,
I'm fighting in glorious cause,
La, La, La, &c.
The morning dawned-a sleepless night,
We spent beneath the moons pale light
The drums did beat-the hour drew nigh,
When must kiss the last good-by.
La, La, La, &c.
My love said he-then gave a sigh,
But could not say the word good-by;
His fine brow wore a marble hue,
And short and quick the breath he drew
La, La, La, &c.
He gently tore himself away,
But oh the parting on that day,
I'll ne'er forget till life and breath,
Are in the cold embrace Of death.
La, La, La, &c.
All little thought then, so soon
That ere the burning skies of June,
The weeds of mourning should wear,
All braided in my auburn hair.
La, La La, &c.
The crimson tide of battle poured
The muskets ratified and and the cannons roared,
Our starry banner In victory again,
Waved high, but oh my love was slain.
La, La, La, &c.
And now above the silent grave,
Floats that banner he died to save,
/ wish l soon in my grave may be,
That proud flag waving over me.

the last forty-eight hours. Over twen-
ty thousand have Joined the army since
it crossed the Rapidan. Others are yet
to come, and column, moving out from

to see IN our possession. Grants total
losses up to the present time are not far
from thirty-fye thousand. Possibly they
may reach forty thousand, but Gen. Grant

he began the campaign with. He has

Christian Commission

PHILADELPHIA, May 14.-The Uni
ted States Christian Commission wish
the friends of our brave soldiers to
know thatin anticipation of the great
struggle in Virginia they had a large
number of delegates, wagons and bat
tlefeld stores on the ground, going
with the army on the march, and pres
ent during all the battles. There are
now 2O4 delegates at work ON the
held, most of them clergymen and
surgeons OF eminent character, giving
their services gratuitously. Thirty
seven choice boxes of hospital stores
were shipped today More stores and
men will be sent forward daily, our
Government doing every thing in their
power to relieve the wounded; and
with entire appreciation of our work
gives every possible facility. Intel
ligence from the General Field Agent
states that on the way to Fredericks-
burg and wherever the wounded were
lying, are found delegates ofthe Com
mission. They were binding wounds,
and doing all in their power to relieve
the wounded. Hundreds have alrea-
dy been saved through their instru-
mentality.
When the present campaign began
the Commission found itself with an
empty treasury, but relying on God
and generous American people they
resolved to do their whole duty to the.
noble men who have sacrificed all for
country. The emergency is great.
Victory to our arms should stimulate
the people to meet it.

NUMBER 90
Winfield Scott Hancock

w Vlnnelu OC0GJ Hancock.
Every reader of this paper, we feelsure
will read withspride the following tribute
to Gen. Hancock 1t is fIom the North
american.
The splendid achievements of General
Hancock's corps in the present campaign
in Virginia are again attracting attention
to one of the finest soldiers in the Army
of the Potomac. Since McClelan's brief
telegraphic dispatch respecting the battle
ofWilllamsburg spoke of Hancocks deeds
on that day as superb, his name has been
familiar one in his native State, PennsyL
vania, rendered so by his soldierly quail
ties in the field and his heroism wherever
he has served. 1t is not necessary to re-
iterate the long catalogue of his gallant ex-
ploits. They are now well-known in this
commonwealth, and they must ever contin-
ue to be.
To the people of Philadelphia Hancock
had peculiarly endeared himself by his
noble bearing, frank and generous man.
ners, and his uniform courtesy. He re-
viewed the local militia and volunteers
here on Washington's birthday, and as he
rode along the line on Broad street, with
his brilliant staff, the citizens who were
thus enabled to form some idea of his ap-
pearance ON the battlefield, hailed him
with enthusiastic acclaim. He seemed,
indeed, the beau ideal of soldier on that
occasion.
Since the opening of Grants campaign
in Virginia, however, Hancock has been
in his true element. Largely backed by
men OF his own State, enlisted to serve
under him especially and whose conf
dence in him was unbounded, he has ri
vailed in his dashing charges and constant
and fearless exposure the most famous
leaders of Napoleon. Always brilliant
and successful, he has, in the present cam
paign made two desperate charges, which
must long be remembered in our military
history. The first was in the battle of
the Wilderness, where he drove the enc
my before him for a distance of two miles
and held his position for hours, vainly
waiting for the supporting columns which
would secure his advance.
But his last and grandest exploit was
reserved for the terrible battle of the Po
where he made a charge which crushed
one wing of the rebel army, carried their
rifle pits, and captured between 30 and 40
cannon and one and half divisions of
Hills corps. He took the division of
Gen. h. W. johnson entire, with all its
officers, including Major General and 2
Brigadiers. This was the division for
merly commanded by Stonewall jackson.
A year ago Jackson himself was killed at
Charlottesville, and now his division is
annihilated. These rebel troops once so
much dreaded for their fierce and sangui-
nary charges, have now met their match in
a General surprising their old leader in
impetuosity and daring, and commanding
a corps which seeems endued with his own
enthusiastic spirit. All honor to the he
rolc Hancock and his noble corps. As
Pennsylvanians, it is impossible to avoid
feeling a just pride in their valor and
achievements, however much we may de-
plore the cost to many family at home.
