Oh, that mght behold
Those gentle fprles, By others all unseen,
Queen Nab and Puck the bold,
With curtseyS manifold,
Glide round his cradle every morn and cen
That might see the nimble shapes that ran,
Ard frisked ard frol'okcd By his side,
When school-hourS ended or began,
st mora or even-tidc:
That might see the very shoes he wore
Upon the dusty street,
His little gown and pinaforc,
His aatchcl and his school-boy rig complete
II could have the wish rhyme,
Then should this night, and all il doth contain,
Be set far back upon the rim Of time,
And / would w.ldered Ire upon stormy plans:
The wanton waves of Winter wind and storm
Should beat upon my ruddy face,
And on my streaming Lair;
And hays and witches multlOrm,
And Eeldanes past all sanity grace,
Should hover round me in the sleety air.
Then, hungry, cold, and frightened by these
mps OF SIN;
And brepthlcss all, with bufctng the storm,
Betimes / would arrive at some old English Inn,
Wainscoted high and warm.
The fire should blaze in antique chimncy-place:
And on the hgh-backed settles, here and there,
The village 20 sip and the merry laugh
Should follow trimming cups OI hali-an' half:
Before the fire, in hOspltable char,
The landlord Fat should bask his shining face,
And slowly twirl his pewter can;
And there in his consummate grace,
The perfect lord OF wit,
The immortal demi-man,
The only Shakespeare OF this earth should SIT.
There. too. that Spanish galleon of hulk,
Ben Jonson, lying at full length,
Should so dispose his goodly bulk,
That be might turn at ease upon his back
To test the tone and strength
OF Bonitace's shenis-sack.
And there should be some compeers of these two,
Rare wits and poets OF the land,
Whom all good England knew,
And still doth cherish like fOrget-me-nots, -,
And they should lounge on Shakespeare's either
hand,
And SIP their punch from queer old cans and
pots.
Oh, then such drollery should begin,
Such wit fash out such humor run
Around the fire IN this old English inn,
The veriest clod would he conyulsed with fun;
And Boniiace's merry sides would ache,
And his round belly like pudding shake.
Or, never never since the world began,
Has been so clever repartee,
And never till some other world begins,
Will such immortal things be said by man
AS this same blessed company
Were wont to say so oft in those old Enghsh
inns.
Dear artist, if you paint this picture mine,
DO not forget the storm that roars
Above the merry din and laughter within doors,
But let some stroke divine
Make all within appear more rich and warm,
By contrast with the onter storm.

In December last Mr. Harding, of Ken.
lucky, offered resolution in the House in
effect declaring:
that whenever the rebellion in any one OF
the seeded States shall be put down or
subdued, either by force or voluntary sub.
mission to the authority Of the Constitution
and laws, such State shall be restored to
to all its rights and privileges under the
constitution of such State and the consttu-
ton of the United States, including the
right to regulate, order and control its own
domestic institutions"
On Monday these resolutions came up
in the House, and Mr.. Harding very truth
fully said in the course of his remarks:
'None but revolutionist, disunionist
would oppose them"
To the shame and disgrace Of our State
it is upon the record that "Mr. Upson of
Michigan moved to lay the resolution on
the table," and the motion prevailed by a
vote of 67 yeas to So nays.
A pertinent inquiry TO address the aboli-
ZIONIST Upson would be: What are we
fighting forg For what are his neighbors
and the people of Michigan willing to pour
out the hearts blood of their nearest rela-
tives and submit to be taxed as no people
were ever taxed before, if it is not to re-
store the Union and preserve the govern.
ment of our fathers, allowing each State,
when the rebellion shall be put down with
in its limits, a restoration Of 'all its rights
and privileges under the Consultation of
such Safe and the Constitution of the
States" the inquiry is indeed becoming a
terribly earnest and solemn one-W hat are

The Pttsburs Commercial furnishes
orief biography Of the late Brigadier General
Alexander Hays, who was killed in tho
first days battle on the Rapidan. He was
educated at West Point, entered the army,
distinguished himself in nearly every bat.
tie in Mexico, taking with his own hands
the first gun from the enemy at Palo Alto.
On the return of peace he retired from the
army. On the outbreak Of the present re.
belion he raised regiment which he com.
manded until he was promoted to the rank
Of brigadier general. Wherever heroic
daring or desperate fighting was wanted,
there Hays was to be found. In this char
acteristic his only parallel probably was
the lamented Kearney. Sternly resolute
and chvalrously bold in action, he was un-
pretending and dffidcnt Of his great abil-
ties among his friends and fellow citizens.
Only those who knew the true metal that
lay deep beneath the surface Of his charac.
ter could appreciate his great intrinsic
worth. He believed and always said and
wrote to his friends that this accursed re-
bellion could only be put down bv hard
blows and whenever HAYS struck. the
blow was earnest and terrible. He had
great confidence in Grant, and knowing
the character of his old friend and cempan-
ion in arms, he anticipated precisely such
battle as that in which he fell In re-
cent letter to friend he seemed to have a
presentiment, if not of his death, at least of
the gigatic battles which are now closing
the drama Of this war. Anticipating the
collision of the mighty armies of Grant and
Lee ne repeated the line of the Scottish

"Rough NOtes.'
Our correspondent, Rough Notes." OF
the 9th Iowa Cavalry, writes US that before
the regiment received marching orders and
while in camp near Jefferson Barracks,
they were ordered out for the first time to
try target shooting at distance of fifty
PAGES. Sergt. Joe II. Wyman, of McGregor,
was ordered to the front to fire the first
four shots, and notwithstanding the horses
We're almost unmanageable he struck the
tree "A or inches in diameter) from to
Z inches above the mark. Thirteen out OF
six rounds were correctly aimed, which was
pronounced good by Capt. Contel.
A few days after trial was made with
carbins, while dismounted and five were
selected by Maj. Haddock as sharp shoot
ers. The carbins were not considered good
and will probably be condemned, though
they are Starts breach loading. Two COM
panies, under Maj. Ensign had been sent
to Galloway County, to quiet the nerves OF
the unsteady. Twelve of Co. F, the Nc
Gregor Co., were in hospital, five ick in
camp and six on duty elsewhere, leaving
fifty-eight present for duty.
The officers were all well. On the 29th
ult, they mustered for two months pay
and expected to get greenbacks-n a
bad thing to take.

Gen. Grant During the Battle.


Gen. Grants headquarters were located
in field between the park road and small
road leading to little hamlet known as Par
ker's store. During the fight, however, he
was principally with General Meade, whose
headquarters were on piney knoll in the
rear Of Warren's corps. l had seen Gen.
Grant at Vicksburg and in Tennessee, and
his appearance was familiar; but as stroll
ed through the group of officers reclining
under the tree at headquarters looked for
him some time in vain, such was his insig-
nificant, unpretending aspect and conduct
while the battle was raging in all its fury.
A stranger to the insignia of military rank
would have little dreamed that the plain,
quiet man who set with his back against a
tree, apparently needless and unmoved,
was the one upon which the fortunes of the
day, if not Of the age and country, were
hanging. 1t was only when some aid or
orderly rode up in hot haste with com.
munication from some portion Of the battle.
field that his eyes looked up to seek in those
of the messenger the purport Of the mes.
sage. The consultation with Gen. Meade,
or the direct suggestion or command-all
took place with that same imperturability
of countenance for which he has always
been remarkable. No movement of
the enemy seemed to puzzle or discon-
cert him. Fertile in resources, the petition
for reinforcements was speedily answered.
And while all this transpired, he stood
calmly in the group, at times smoking his
favorite cigar-a more frequent putting on,
ly indicating the inward working Of the
mind. If something transpired which he
deemed to need his personal attention. away
he darted to the immediate scene, the one
or two Of his aids and an orderly exerting
their utmost to keep up with him. Arrived
on the spot, he calmly considered the mat
ter requiring his attention, with ready
judgment communicated the necessary Or
ders, and then galloped away to another
part Of the field, or to enter on the order
book some record Of the battles progress.
1t was amusing again at times, to see him
the commander in -chief-whittling away
with his knife upon the bark of tree,
pausing now and then to throw in word
or sentence to the conversation of those
grouped about, and then going to work
with renewed vigOr upon the incision of the
pine. The contemplation Of this by those
who were with him at Vicksburg will re-
call an incident of a similar character in
that memorable seige. When the colum
biads were mounted in front of Logan's
line, Gen. Grant was desirous Of superin.
tending the operation. During the pre-
limnary work of cutting the embrasures,
he mounted the epaulement, and while the
rebel bullets strack all around him, deli
berately whitfield rail until the guns were
placed in position.

Cheap Patriotism.

war, and whose isms Of every kind have

throphy Massachusetts,, which now actu.
ally governs, at Washington, The whole
United States, has not yet furnished, with.
in 1000, its quota Of volunteers for the
armies of the Union. This is precept
VS.. practice. To hear the men of Massa.
chusetts deride, as "copperhcad," the
great State of New York, which has already
sent more men into the field than all New

indeed, "swarmed" with eager soldiers, as
her governor promised they should upon

but instead of that, Massachusetts, is be-
hindhand. That "swarm" of soldiers is
nowhere visible. 1t is probably keeping
company with Horace Greeley's missing
100000! The manufacturers Of Massa,

the war, and hence desire to prolong it, but
