An Awful REcokD.-f auy one wants to know
what becomes of all the men that are sent to the
war; let him subscribe for the Cincinnati Daily
Commercial or Gazette We give this puff free Of
charge to our political enemies convinced that pc.
r,sal Of their official columns of dead SICK dying and
wounded will do vastly more good than all the eo-
quence ofou copperhead writer's or speakers One
DAY last week we took the trouble of counting the
number in a single copy of the Commercial and it
WAS over thousand! When we remember that
single column in that paper contains over three
hundred Names and then call to mind the mu,titrdes
Of columns we have seen, we no longer wonder what
has become of our men on the contrary, we won
der where all tho people have come FROM. 1t is
perpetual list Oh sick, wounded, dying and dead
the missing not being taken into account Yet the
callous and might almost say, brutal editors of
these papers fill their columns daily with invitations
and entreates to the remnant Of young men at home
to enter this war and march int the pens Of the.
South. It would seem as il they were fascinated
by the sight Of their bloody lists, and bad an amb
ton that every mans name should figure in their
pages as wounded, sick or dead. When shall this
devilish slaughter end? How long will the people
sleepin their lethargy until death raps at their door
1t is impossible that peace should come again
while dendish ape Is at the head Of our affairs
He realizes nothing Of The awful destruction of prop
erty, nor the wasting slaughter Of life Neither
does he care. He has none Of the instinct or sens-
blties as man, nor the dignity of q respectable
tyrant--Uaytoa (Ohio) Empire.

the Wilderness. >.
The chief aid and encouragement we
can give the Peace Party at the North is
to keep before them these great funda-
mental principles and truths, which alone
will lead them and Us to a permanent and
lasting peace, with the possession and en-
ioyment of Constitutional Liberty. With
these principles once recognized the future
would take care Of itself. There would be
no more war so long as they should be ad-
hered to. All questions Of boundaries,
Ccnfederacies and Union or Unions would
naturally and easily adjust themselves &C.
cording to the interests Of the parties and
the exigencies of the times. Herein lies
the true law of the balance Of power and
the harmony of States.

There is land Of every land the pride,
Beloved by Heaven DER all the world beside;
Where brighter SUNS dispense serener light,
And milder moons emparadlse the night;
a land of beauty, virtue, valor, truth,
Time tutored age, and love-exalted youth:
The wandering mariner, whose eye explores
The wealthiest isles, the most enchanting shores,
Views not realm so bountiful and fair,
Nor breathes the spirit Of parer air;
In every cline the magnet of his soul,
Touched by remembrance, trembles to that pole;
For in this land of Heavens peculiar grace,
The heritage of natures nob!est race,
There is a spot of earth supremely blest
a dearcr sweeter spot than all the rest,
Where man, creations tyrant, casts aside
His word and sceptre, pageantry and pride,
While in his so!,ened looks benignly blend
The sire, the son, the husband, brother, friend:
Here woman reigns; the mother, daughter, wife,
Strew with fresh flowers the narrow way OF lie!
In the clear Heaven of her delightful eye,
An angel guard Of loves and graces ile;
Around her knees domestic duties meet
And freside pleasures gambol at her feet
Where shall that land that spot Of earth be found!
Art thou man "a patriot ?-look around;
0, thou shalt find, howe'er thy footsteps roam,
That land thy country, and that spot thy home!

: BuHK's CHARGE FROM HIS DYING BED.-In 1877,
when the ia ubins Of France were prosecuting the
war with England, which terminated eighteen years
after on the bloody field of Waterloo, Edmund
Burke, the most eminent statesman Of that age, was
en- his dying bed. In his last hours he gave
charge to England which, with the change Of two
or three words, is equally appropriate to the Con-
iedera.e States
6 Never, said the dying statesman, neser sue
euinb. It is struggle for your existence as -
ton. Il you must de- die With the sword in your
hand. But 1 have no fears for the result. There
is salient living principle in the public mind of
England (of this Confederacy) which only requires
proper direction to enable it to withstand this or
any other feroeous foe. Persevere, therefore. ill

TAG ROMAN SENrlNEL.-When Pompeii was de-

who were afterwards found in very different stu

some found in lofty chambers but where did they

post, and there, after thousand years had passed
away, was he found.
