MONROE DucTRINE.-We give the original
of this much talked of doctrine. The signs
of the times makes interesting the following
extract from Presidents Monroe's annual
Message, December 2nd, 1923
The political system of the allied powers is
essentially different in this respect from that
of America. This difference proceeds from
that which exists in their r spective govern
ments. And to the defense of our own, which
has been achieved with so much loss of blood
and treasure, and matured by the wisdom of
our most enlightened citizens, and under
which we have enjoved unexamped felicity,
this whole nation is devoted. We owe it,
therefore. to the candor and the amaicable
relations existing between the United States
and those powers to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to extend
their system to any portion of this hemis-
phere as dangerous to opr peace and safety.
With the existing colonies or dependencies
of any European power, we have not inter-
fered. nor shall not interfere. But the Gov.
ernments who have declared their independ-
ence and maintained it, and, on just princi-
piles, acknowl ged, we could not view any
interposition for the purpose of depressing
them. or controlling in any other manner
their destiny, by any European power, in
any other light than as the manifestation of
an unfriendiy disposition toward the United
States

THE FALL OF WAGNER,
BY A VOLUNTEER ENGINEER.


Fort Wagnsr has fallen. that great work of skin,
Whose mission of blood was to murder and kill.
Her forty-foot walls, her torpedoes and sxears
Have been all overcome by the bold Engineers.
There Strong, noble-souled, and the brave Putnam
fell,
And Shaw-on whose ending It's bitter to dwell-s
oh the grim fires of death from those embrasures
came,
Enwrapping US all in the lightning like fame
Yet the Engineers worked, in the face Of that fire.
With their zigzag approaches, their stockades and
wire,
As unceasing and treless as Fate, to attain
The great object they toed for, and toiled not in
vain. ~' - 3
The rebels could gaze from their stronghold, and
tell
Of the steady approach of the " men of serrer,"
But nonght could they do the advance to with
That steady advance through the swamp and the
sand.
Aye, the were undaunted, the leaders were
brave,
And alike were determined the true flag should
Ger that labyrinth fort-though the sad sons of
CAIN
Had resolved that We ne'er should possess it again
Then hurrah for our leaders. fit met men to com
mand-
Brooks, Sness and MEG Walker, Garef and
Earrand-
And hurrah for the men with a wall for the
dead.
Who lie, biood-embalmed, in their glorious bedl
and when hurtling missiles no longer shall scream,
With vengeful intent, er each fair isle and stream,
And sweet peace and freedom prevail on this shore.
Our cheers shall resound with the name Of lmore.

A SONG.
BY DE WITT HUBBELL.

The bright-eyed stars peeping, love,
Down ON this world of ours.
And like pearl-drops the fresh dew CLEANS
Upon the sleeping flowers.
The brpoklet murmurs near me, love,
/ hear the light birds hymn
Watt melody from yonder bush,
Where nestle the shadows grim.
The bright-eyed stars are watching, love,
And laughing, seem to say,
ave gaze upon the dear ones face,
But thou art far away;
Yet kindly we reflect to thee
The same bright sunny smile
She gave us when we gazed on her,
And wore thy look the while"
The bright-eyed stars smiling, love,
And they will whisper thee
The thoughts they spy within my breast I
While gazing down onme.
Wilt thoa be glad to hear them, love,
And learn how dear thou art
To him whose fondest dream of bliss
Has thee for every part
The bright-eyed stars are list'ning, love,
To catch the feryent prayer
breathe for blessings on thy head
Unmixed with grief care;
And joyously they'll bear it, love,
On wings of purest light,
Up through the golden gates which veil
Heavens glory from sight.

WORKING Guns BY STEAM.-The St. Louis
Union describes some interesting experiments
with new invention in that city. devised for
the purpose of working heavy guns by steam
power The plan was tested, recently, on
board the monitor Wtane6ago. The Union
says:
AS we are prohibited, by general
instructions from the Navy Department,
from giving description in detail of
this wonderful machine, we can only state
that two eleven inch Dahlgrens are completely
under the control of one man in 1t, and ham
died with as much ease by him, snd with al
most as much CELEBRITY as pair of duelling
pistols could be. Every movement of the
guns is made by steam. They are run out
Of the ports BY it and their recoil is checked
byit they are lowered into the hold by steam
for loading, and raised again to be fred
and all these movements are made in as little
time as it has taken to relate it."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.
Another record of the court martials has
been promulgated, from which it appears that
there were convicted two Brigadier Generals,
Hammond and Spears, ona Colonel, two 1t.
Colonies, one Major, twelve Captains, eigh-
teen LIST Lieutenants, sixteen I'd Lieutenants
and one Assistant Surgeon. They were near
ly all dismissed the service, one fifth for drunk
enness while on duty.
According to the record, Brig. Gen. James
u. Spears, of the U. s. Vols, was tried for u.s.
ing disloyal language and conduct preiudcial
to good order and military discipline, furnish
ing guard and giving fullprotection to proper
ty OF notorious rebel before obliging him to
take the oath of allegiance. He was found
guilty OF the charges and sentenced to be dis
missed from the service of the United States.
The proceedings, findings and sentence were
disapproved by the Commanding General, on
the ground of want of Jurisdiction of the
court, and the record forwarded to the Presl-
dent with recommendation that he be dis
missed from the service, which was approved,
and Gen. Spears summarily dismissed.
1t Is understood that arrangements are con-
templated for the purchase of cotton In insur-
rectionary States on Government account, and
agents will be soon appointed at New Orleans,
Memphis and other points for that purpose,
under the act of July last.

Base Ball.

The match game for the champion silver
bali, presented by Mr.. John A. Lowell, be-
tween the Osceola Club, of Portland, and the
Tri- Mountain Club, OF Boston, resulted in
favor of the Tri-Mountain Club, after well
contested game. The Osceola Club is a new
club, formed this season, and will, in another
year, with the material which they have, make
it no easy task to win ball from them. They
are much younger and lighter men than those
of their opponents on this occasion, but after
the second innings showed they can play
good "up hilP' game. The Tri-Mountain
took the lead from the first by a display Of
very superior batting, and maintained the lead
to the close. After the second innings Evans
was put on to pitch for the Osceolas, and the
score was kept down to respectable point.
That is most certainly his place, and we hope
the Osceolas will profit by this in future. The
0sceolss did well throughout, but we would
speak especially of the first and second base
mans playing; also of the two beautiful fly
catches made at centre and left field.

NASHVILLE, Ienn., Sept. n.
Skrmishing with the rebels under Forrest
continued all day. Rosseau fell back two
miles from Pulaski, but advanced and held his
position and the town up to O'Clock this
morning.
The rebels have advanced their skirmisher
line to within half mile of ours and will
probably advance and attack us.
Our loss in to-day's fight does not exceed
eighty men.
Prisoners captured in Marshal county on
the way to McMinnville with dispatches for
Williams who was to unite with Forrest, stat
ed that Forrest has 20 pieces OF artillery and
about 1000 men. Six regiments are reported
to have been sent TO Forrest from Wheeler's
force.
Rosseau by stragetic movement invited an
attack from the rebel commander but he re
fused to respond.
The telegraph is not in working order to
Pulaski to-day.
1t was ramored at Chattanooga that two
trains were captured on Monday by rebel
force at Big Shanty on Chattanooga Railroad.
Officers just from the front confirm this state
ment.

Urbanks and Mrs. Marble and child, but prom
ised to give them up. These chiefs come here
to make treaty with Gov. Evans, and offer to
fight the Kiowas aud Camanches. The scare
ity of food and the prospect of hard winter
it is thought compelled them to take this step.

The Tribunes' Harper's Ferry correspon-

surprise of the rebels at Fishers Hill may be
imagined from the fact that the guns were all
loaded to the muzzle with grape and canister,
but Gen. Crooks charge was so impetuous and
rapid that the rebels did not get time to dis
charge them. The loss of the rebels in tie re-
cent fight as reported by government official
sent to ascertain the facts, are as follows:
Arrived at Harper's Ferry, including 206
officers, 310O wounded; at Winchester, 22OO:
captured between Fishers Hill and Wood
