THE EVENING NEWS.
LYRICS OF TODAY.

On guard tonight and through the darkness
The notes of bugles and the roll of drums
Sounding tatto-while from the city near-
Richmond, doomed city, trembling now with
fear ....
Who talks Of Peace
Who says, let this war cease,
While we in Libby lie and plainly hear
Brothers in arms
Sounding wars loud alarms
Al RIchmond's very gates, that quake with fearl
Who of Peace prates.
While dead and dying mates
Fill Southern graves and cells, and we all hope
Some for grim death,
Whilesome, with bated breath,
Whisper of those who shall prison doors ope'
Have you forgot
That this accursed spot
Holds men who've brayely fought for home and
you.
Day after day
They wait and watch and pray:
God grant their hopes and prayers may all come
true!
For Won they've borne
Insults and taunts and scorn.
Been robbed and starved and seen comrades shot
dead
By prison guards
Are these the poor rewards
With which our country crowns the soldiers headi
Here Dahlgren lies
Sleeping meath Southern skies
His crippled form by traitors rudely thrown
In unknown grave;
Yet there are those who raye
OF Peace, ere vengeance justly claims its own.
Ere Peace there be
Give US our Liberty.
Let us the traitors meet once more In Sight:
We all have sworn
That every wrong we've borne
Shall be wiped out in blood or in deaths night.

The Rebels, Candidate.

The following sketch Of pretty Mac, show
ing why and wherefore he should and will
receive the united support Of all Secession
lists, is from the Aurora Union. It is "true
as preaching" and is substantiated BY the
whole career of the infnitesimal Napoleon :
There is not regiment in the rebel army
that would not march four hundred miles, OH
half rations, to. vote for George B, Mcclellan
the peace candidate and the war candidate
and the candidate who, according to the
Southern History of the War, profered his
Napoleon" (God help the miserable fools
who gave him the appellation,) is the idol Of
the Southern heart-the hope Of the bastard
confederacy-the only prominent Northern
man that has won, BY his services in behalf
of the rebel cause, the gratitude and love oil
all rebeldom. He never fought q battle ex-
cept when attacked by his Southern friends,
or compelled to do so by the impatience OF
the outraged North and the united efforts Of
the true and able officers over whom, unfor-
tunately for the country, his superior rank
had placed him. No man in the North has
done half so much to strengthen and encour-
age the rebels in their hellish work, and for.
his services he 10 lauded to the sky and looked
upon BY the enemies Of the Federal Govern
ment as the man after their own heart. The
Southern journals represent him as a master
ofmilitary science-a military genius whose
ability is not inferior to that Of Lee himself.
While they represent Grant as poor Gen
eral, and have no words Of praise to bestow
upon him, they never fail to puff and fatter

Gov. Morton and his Democratic opponent,
Mr.. Mcdonald, are together "stumping" the
State of Indiana, discussing the questions at
issue in the pending campaign in a friendly
and gentlemanly manner, and with that dig
nity which becomes the aspirants for the
highest office in the gift Of State. The
second of the series came off ut South Bend,
Ind, on the llth inst. Mr.. Mcdonald led
| off, and in the course Of his remarks spoke
| as follows:
at was the duty Of every man to seek for
| the remedy for existing evils. In order to do
this intelligently he must seek for the causes
which brought about the disorder. In his
opinion, the sole cause of the war was the
| unWise and fanatical agitation Of the slavery
question. Had it not been for this the coun-
! try would now have been On the full tide OF
prosperity.
When unwiSe and fanatical people at the
North commenced to agitate on one side Of
| the question it provoked unwise and fanatich
agitation at the South on the other side, and
out of this agitation all the manifold evils
that now affect our beloved country had
| sprung"
After Mr.. Mcdonald had concluded, Gov.
Morton rose to reply, and before proceeding
to discuss the point involved in the above, he
read an extract from letter Of Mr.. Melon
aid, published in July, l849, in which he said:
