THE SPIRIT OF THE NORTH.

We are twenty millions still,
With the means and with the will,
Our whole duty 10 fulfill,
In our country's cause
With true hearts let us unite,
In defense of human right,
Aud get ready for the fight,
10 maintain our laws.
We are dealing with a foe,
Who at freedom strikes blow,
And who aims to overthrow
Our most cherished right.
Would you know the sureSt plan
To put down this reb olanI
'Tis to arms every man,
Let us show our might
There is One above us all,
Who marks cen the sparow's fall,
Let us humbly on him call,
To put forth HIS hand.
Oh, that He may stay the tide,
Of this cruel fratricide,
And to peace aud Union guide,
Our distracted land
In His name we now declare,
To all mankind everywhere,
By our SWORD and by our PRAYER,
Peace we SHALL restore;
Twenty millions true and brave,
Shall our glorious Union save,
And our flag shall proudly wave
Ger the land once more,
ON A LADY sTUNG BY A BEE.
To heal the wound bee had made
Upon my Della's face,
Its honey to the part she laid,
And bado me kiss the place.
Pleased, ! obeyed, and from the wound
Sucked both the sweet and smart
The honey OH my lips | found
The sting went through my heart.

ST. LOUIS, April 80.
Congressman Hall writes from Wash
ington that the credit Of enrolled militia,
re-enlisted veterans and colored troops
reduces the quota Of Missouri to $50. Ne
gro enlistments since April Ist more than
covers this, freeing Missouri from the
draft.
Advice from Camden, Ark, states that
the army is there. Thsyer joined Steele
at Elkins Ferry on Little Missouri river,
where the rebels were driven behind their
bresstWorks, commanding the bottom
The enemy next stood at Prsirie DeAnn,
fortified with line Of rife-pits and epan-
elments for barbette guns, and about g
mile and half long. Steele hsnked his
position, and Price skeiaddled after brisk
fight, towards Washington.
Other skirmishes occurred during the
march, but our total loss was less than two
hundred.
Price supposed Steele was going to
to Shreveport via Washington, and
moved his command from Camden to
Washington. After the fight ct Prairie
De Ann, Steele pursued the rebels four
miles towards Washington, and then sud-
denly turned and pushed for Camden
Price discovered his mistake and started
for Camden also. A desperate race en-
sued, and although heavy skiFmishing
occurred all the way, Msrmsduke being in
front and Drocking in the rear, with cav
airy and artillery, Steele came out victor,
entering the enemy's forti6catiens unOp-
posed.
Camden, when strongly guarded, can be
held against largely superior force.
A large rebel transport was captured
thirty miles below Camden.
It is understood that reinforcements and
supplies are going overland from Little
Rock to Steele, he not being able to draw
them from Banks.
steele's force is fully 5000 strong, and
can whip Kirby Smith, should he attack
him. No fears need be entertained for his
safety.

In the House Of Representatives this
evening, Mr.. Bsrger made sn important
statement relative to the 18th regiment Of
Pennsylvsnis Reserves. He stated that
they entered the service Of the Government
in May, three years ago, but were not
mustered into the National service until
two months afterwards. They are now
greatly dissatisfied so much so, that
many Of them are under arrest, the men
claiming that their time Of service expires
in May, and the National Government
contending that it extends until July. Mr..
BsFger read extracts Of letter from Col
onel McCandliss, commanding the division,
relative to the dissatisfaction. Fearing
the men will refuse to serve after May,
Governor Curtin has urged some action on
the part Of the Legislature to induce the

Of the Reserve. In accordance with this,
Mr.. Barger offered a resolution urgently
soliciting the President to discharge the
Reserves. The resolution was unanimous
