Oh yes, am Northern Girl and glory in the
name,
And boast it with far greater pride than glitter
ing worth or fame;
i envy not the Southern girl though hers be
beauty rare,
And diamonds grace hcrsnowy neck and pearls
bedeck her hair.
CHORUS.
Ilurrah, hurrah, for the red, the white and blue,
Fiurrah for the NorthernSgirl that loves her
country true.
My linsey dress is plain know, my apron home
spun too;
But then 1t shows what Northern girls for loyal
rights can do;
We've sent the bravest of our land to battle with
the foe,
And We would lend helping hand--we love our
cause you know.
CHoRUs-Hurrail hurrah &C.
Cotton goods are out of date since Southern
No cotton should be shipped away rom of the

We scorn to wear n bit OF cloth that's made of

But wear our linsey dresses platn--we know
we're in the right.
CHoRUS-Hurrah, hurrah de-
Our great, broad land is q glorious land, and

Then three cheers for Union rights and for oar

We've sent our sweethcarts to the reay but dear

Your soldier love will not forget the girl he left
behind.
CHoRUS--tIurrraii, hurraii, &c.
A soldier lads the lad for me- a brave heart

And now, young men, word to you, if you

n<a- The raising of 100 days men in
this State is, we are sorry to say, slow
work. Instead of ten regiments in
twenty days, we have, after the expira-
ton of month, two regiments organ
lied and about 900 men in camp besides.
Present indications are that three regi-
ments are all we can possibly raise
without q draft.

135, 900 effective men. He lost up tt

than 1870, 900 effective soldiers.
Lee commenced the campaign with
about $4,000 men and is supposed to
have lost the same number as Grant
He has also received reinforcements to
the number of near $4,000, making his
present force 1000, not including 49,
900 men left to garrison Richmond.
Buffers forces aresupposed to be equal
if not superior to Beauregard's in num-
bers.
THE APPROACH TO RICHMOND.-Sec-

advantageous position seven miles from
Richmond. Burnside's corps had cross

The enemy had evidently fallen back
south of the Chickahominy. This IL
getting into close quarters. Hot work

FAITHFUL MINISTER'S OF HEALTH
In examining vessels at the various
wharves we find among the curiosities
of our commerce the brig Miranda, just
in from TruXillo, with cargo of HOndu-
ras Sarsaparilla for DR.. J. C. Aver & Co.,
of Lowell. So particular are this firm
as to the articles used in compounding
their various remedies, that they have
this drug ikesome others they consume,
gathered for them by skilful agent OF
their own in the tropical regions of its
growth. He informs us that there are
many species of this plant, but two OF
which are really valuable in medicine
the qualities of these are also affected by
the time of gathering, mode of curing,
ETC., operations which in that region OF
unreliable workmen imposes heavy
labor upon him. One of the inert vari-
cites Of Sarsaparilla grows wild in our
own forests, while several others, near
~ worthless, abound in Central and
South America. The intelligent agent
assured us that the virtues of this drug
had never been fully told and that the
reason of the low esteem in which many
hold it is mainly due to the importation
OF such immense quantities ofthe worth
less varieties. His accounts of his trips
to Honduras and his business excursions
along the Gulf of Dulce and the rivers Of
Montague and Santiago and among the
adjacent mountains were OF intense in
terest. We can but commend and hon
or his employers for the faithfulness
and energy with which they execute
their trust as ministers to the public
health, and we suspect that this course
is at least one Of the reasons why their
are held in such extraordfna-
ry favor throughout the civilized world.

MCCoRMICK's REAPERS.-Th search
ty of labor throughout the country has
created an immense demand for Reapers.
Farmers are now offering as high as
three dollars per day for harvest help
and are unable to secure it even at that
price.
We understand that f. a. McNair,
Esq, the well-known and indefatigable
agent for McCormick's Reaper, has sold
over one hundred of McCormick's i'm
proved Self-Rakers during the last three
weeks, and expects to sell at least one
hundred more before harvest in this
county alone, as orders for them are
coming in faster than the machines can
be supplied. AS the price averages
$3.50 each, McCOrmick's sales in Scott
county for this season will reach full
$40, 900.
AS an evidence of the popularity of
this machine over all others in market
we need only add that not more than
twenty of all the other numerous ma
chine made, combined, have been sold in
the county this season, and probably
not over a dozen. 1t is always saving
to get the best, and "McComick's Reap
err" with its late improved "Self-
Raker," saving at least three men in
raking and binding, stands above all
competition in this country.

THE FIRST ABOLITIONISr.-Acc
ding to Horace Grceley's new book,
Benjamin .Lunday, of Belmont, Ohio,
was the first Abolitionist in the United
States. In 1915, he organized the
"Union Humane Society" of six men,
bers. Soon after, he established an an
ti-slavery paper called The Genius of
Universal Emancipation. In 1928, he
went East, and fell in with VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, who readily embraced his
views, and hence grew the Anti-Slavery
party of the United States.

WAsHINGTOS, June ]. The dsagreeing
amendments OF the two Houses of Congress to
the national bank bill have been adjusted
through e joint Committee of Conference.
The Senate receded from its amendment linn

The City OF Washington is included among
the places of redemption.
The circulation of the banks, in lieu of all ex-
listing taxes, is taxed one-half of one per cent,
and deposits One-fOurth of one per cent. semi
annually, and q similar tax is imposed on capt.
tai in excess of u. S. bonds.
