Sleep on, ye gallant dead, whilst pillows roll,
And whitened waves round breakers boil;
Thou art DER this lifes tefnpestuous sea;
Sleep oh sweetly sleep, thou art free, thou art fire..
Boldly you stood by the gallant boat,
As DER this rugged she'd float;
Sternly these pillows you defed-.
Then fell uuconquered, fell and died.
Thou art gone; no more you cheer thy comrades on
by words Of praise for victories won,
No more We see thee battling gainst the surge,
AS drawer hearts to Drawer deeds you urge
Shine as beacon on thy comrades fate,
AS guiding star to thy "Shp Of State;"
Guide her through seas more calm and even:
Guide to some calm, some peaceful haven.
Guardian Angels, who art from US gone,
Guard from tempest, guard from storm.
We look to thee, bright spirits, bright,
To rescue from Arabian night.
We can ne'er forget thee, though we hear
No more thy voices echoin our ear.
Thy memory lives. Though thou art dead,
The Laurel wreaths thy gallant head.

Bas~ The unhappiest men in the Confederacy
are those who have made much money during the

THE GREENSBORO "PEACE MEETING."-We
indebted to friend of this city for the follow
ing of letter giving the particulars Of the
"Peace Meeting' recently held in Greensboro:
GREENSBORO, Feb. l. 1864
The announcement of a "Peace Meeting" to be
held in town, filled loyal people with the
gloonriest foreboding; but as it is over, I'VE
breathe more freely. The meeting was disgrace
to our patriotic little town-but it broke up in
row-and laughable affair it was. Crowds Of
people came from the country "to see what would
be done,' as they said. The three leaders, R. P
d., D. L. c. and j. L., tried to get up meeting.
The Court House bell several times sent out its
inviting peals and finally, at 124 o'clock, the
meeting began by one of the leaders trying to
speak. But the crowd cheered, hissed, screamed
and applauded in such manner that every effort
to be heard or to organize was utterly In vain
The resolutions could not be read. The crowd
used all kinds of abusive and ridiculous epithets,
rendering the appearance of the speaker supreme
ly ludicrous Even rotten eggs were in demand,
aud the traitors gave up in despair, and sneaked
out of the Court House. at l o'cock-the meeting
having lasted only half an hour
Late in the day, one Of the leaders was accosted
the street by soldier. who asked, eff he were
one of the Union men !"-and upon his replying
In the Affirmative gave him good tbrashing, and
if left alone, might have Knocked all his treason
out Of him, but several persons interfered and he
was carried off by negro Ean covered with blood.
Regret is experienced by many that the others
did not get thrashing too, but they were smart
enough to keep out of the way. The whole town
seems to feel indignant at their course, and would
like to them suffer for their attempt to get up
"traitor meeting" A fourth leader had the
gacity to leave town early on Saturday morning,
no do"bf having some Important business else
where which demanded his attention;-and his
short experience in military matters during the
first year of the war; having taught him that "dis-
cletion is the better part of valor," and tina. che
