Runs low in my womanhood-
I'm sorry the Spartan blood,
Is fainting for lite to live;
Instead of the grand huzza,
I'd only my tears to give.
Our boy has gone to the war!
In dream-long hours and lone,
lie and think on the soldiers beat,
How the midnight watch has hoWn.
In the chamber cool l weep
To know I'm the sheltered one,
While our brave boy marches with wounded feet
Under the piteous sun.

A Richmond paper lately threatened
the burning Of Northern cities in retaIia-
tion for the vigorous measures of our Gen
erals in the Shenandoah Valley, and sug-
gested the mode by which the work might
be accomplished. Recent demonstrations
at st. sAibans, Vt, at Ssndusky, and
divers oeher developements along the
frontier, indicate pretty clearly that some
scheme of outrage upon our expos
ed frontier has been concocted.-
Thus far its execution hss not been very
successful; but the danger is not yet past
1t turks in our very midst It is remark
ed that a band of roughs are upon our
streets, They throng the allies, the by
ways and the drinking places of our city.
Many persons hEve witnessed hepresence
of these unwelcome visitors, and it Is well
that our people, our police and our mill
tary, should be on the alert How. easy
for squad of secessionist robbers from
Canada to gIt our banks, fire our town
and escape over the water Tugs with
steam up, are convenient. A few active
enemies might infict great injury upon
our town and escape unseathed. We beg
TO call the attention of our worthy Mar
shall to this matter The vagrant Ordi-
nance is probably adequate to the emergen-
cy, and we hope he win act vigorously
and promptly.

The ShnmefuI Conspiracy 10 Defraud
Naw York sOIdfeFs.

We publish full details this morning Of
the crowning act of infamy by which
Governor Seymour, and his
Mcclellan confederates are endeavoring
to carry the State of New York. For
long time he endeavored to defeat the
soldiers voting law in New York State,
but at length, after the people had over
wheimingly declared 1t to be constitutional,
agreed not to veto the bill provided the
soldiers should vote by proxy and that
there should be ether restrictions. The
object of all this was to enable him to con-.
sunmate that forgery which has been per-
petrated in Baltimore and Washington by
his minions. The evidence we lay before
our readers is undisputable and brands
the New York Copperheads with crime
that should be trested by the government
in the severest manner. Zasll---
The Copperhead papers of New York
all endesvor to make the same defense
They simulate righteous indignation at
the idea that their untarnished regulations
should be defled by such crimes. They
resort to the cry that the Government il

Ian men of theirrighttO vote. With these
men, evidence, under oath, is nothing. The
confession Of the criminals implicated they
ignore. By raising hue and cry and
shouting stop thief they expeG
to distract public attention from the great
crimes that have been committed The
World says, 'swe have proofs of this and
that wrong done to Mcclellan soldiers |
but fails TO bring particle dof evidence /
But this effort to escape will be of nosvan
The evidence is clear. The Democracy Of
New York have been guilty of the mott
viIlsinous crimes against the ballot box.
The people should ponder well the char
acter of these men who seek by the mokt
audacious forgeries, to psrpetr&te a erinie
against the life of the nation. They not
only cheat living Union soldiers out bi|
their votes, but they outrage the dead by
forging votes for them. The Judge Advp-
cate in summing up the evidence, shows
that thousands of votes have been forged
already. The great question now is, what
can be done to eounteraet the gigantic
fraud. The only protection. that rsmaihs
to the Union men of New York State is
careful scrutiny of the Registry, in ordbr
that every name that is improperly there,
may be stricken of. This is the only pTO-

The rebels are so anxious about our
financial stability-they looking with such
morbid jealousy upon the success which
American securities are having in foreign
markets, while their own money is no
longer current in the South-that Mr.,
Benjamin has seen fit to address a circular
to European capitalists, csutioning them
against investing in our bonds. ThiA, in
the face Of our resources, is the most ridic-
ulous performance thst has yet taken place

THE ENQUIRIES VAIL OVER THE DEFEAT
OF EARLY.
From the Richmond Enquirer, Oct. 25.I

From the Richmond Enquirer, Oct. 25.l '
What humiliation has attended our
cause in that valley made gloriously his
tOrical by the lsmented Jackson From
Lynchburg to Hsrper's Ferry, from the
Ridoc to the Alleghanies, where victory
and honor and glory once shed their
charming blessings over our cause, there
now hangs the gloomy cloud of defeat, dis
grace and decentralization. 1t is often said
with q sigh, "The news from the valley is
not so bad as we expected" What was
expected that could have been verse than
the shameful defeat into which q victory
was turned, not by the generalship OF
Sheridan, not by the valor of his infantry,
net by the charge of his cavalry, but by
the unaccountable but not less shameful
and disgraceful panic of our own troops
The well-known bravery of these troops
forbids he suspicion that fear caused this
disgraceful flight and abandonment of ar
artillery. Such a suppositiOn is re-
futed by the fact that they had.
but few hours before won a great
and splendid victory. It will not do to
say the cavalry gave way; for all accounts
agree that The l1gantry abandoned the ar
tlLery. What cansed this panic Our
men won't into action well enough they
fought bravely and gallantly; victory at
tended their efforts and encouraged them
to push on; all went well, because the enc
my was flying before them- But the mo-
ment they saw a new disposition on the
foe, the first check received, they halted,
hesitated, turned, fed from victorious
army, in the twinkling of an eye, then
Ieere routed 0enoraIized .
There IS no propTiety in Dldking excuses
and pLastering ouer Nth soft and honeyed
phrases this most infamous defeat. 10 sdy
that oar men lost their UietO7y By stopping
to pLtfader the captured camps IS an excuse
more disgraeetih than defeat. After four
years of war, the discipline that cannot
prevent plundering stragglers from throw
ing away the gathered fruits of hard
fought battle is criminslly defective The
officers that cannot restrain their men
from plundering and keep them in the
ranks are not fit to command
4 change Of commanders is demanded in
the UatLcy, General Early has done the
best he could, we have no doubt; bat his
mode of Gghtiagls too expensive for artiUe-
ry at least.
