THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

o pale, pale face. o helpless hands!
Sweet eyes by fruitless watching wronged ;
Yet turning ever towards the lands
Where Wars red hosts are thronged!
sstA
She shudders when they tell the tale
Of some great battle fought and won;
Her sweet child-face grows old and pale,
Her heart falls like stone.
She sees no conquering flag unfurled
She hears no victory's brazen roar;
But dear face, which was her world,
Perchance she'll kiss no more!
Ever there comes between her sight
And the glory that they rave about,
A boyish brow aud eyes whose light
OF splendor hath gone out.
The midnight glory of his hair,
Where late her fingers, like flood
Of moonlight wandered-lingering there
Is stiff and dank with blood!
She must not shrek, she must not moan,
She must not wiring her quivering hands;
But sitting dumb ard white, alone,
Be bound with viewless bands
Because her suffering life enfolds
Another dearer, feebler life,
In death-strong grasp her heart she holds,
And stills its torturing strife.
Yester eve, they say, field was won.
Her eyes ask tidings of the fight
But tell her of the dead alone
Who lay out in the night
In mercy tell her that his name
Was not upon that fatal list
That not among the heaps of slain
Dumb are the lips she's kissed!
Opoor, pale child! Owoman heart!
Its weakness triumphed DER by strength!
Love teaching pain discipline's art,
And conquering at length!

DREAMLAND.
Out of the sweet old legends
Beckons o fair white hand,
And silvery, .bell-like voices
Tell of An unJ<uovn land

Out of the sweet old legends
Beckons o fair white hand,
And silvery, .bell-like voices
, Tell OF an unknown land.
Where magic roses blossom a
In the evenings golden light,
And the air Is laden with fragrance
From the lilies, silver white.
The trees, with their waving branches,
Murmur fairy song.
And the brooklet merrily dances
As it ripples and gurgles along.
And tender, enchanting love songs
Float on the balmy breeze, =
And the hearts unspeakable longing
BY their music is set at ease.
Would that my steps could reach il.
That happy fowery strand!
For all my earthly Affections
Would cease in that fairy land. .
on in my dreams I see it,
In its glamour bright and fair,
But with daylight's earliest glimmer
1t vanishes into air.

Hon. Mo>TgoAahY BLAIR, a member
Of LIScoL>'s 3 Cabinet, made a speech a.
Carksburg, Howard County, Maryland
August 2G.h, defending the Presidents
reconstruction policy. In the course OF
his address, lie made some bitter attacks
on Secretaries SEwAED and STANTON,
charging the former with having played
for and against the Union before entering
Mr.. MScoLN's Cabinet. and afterwards by
his da,ialcc with the ConfeIerates up to
the fall Of Fort Sumter, prolonged the
agreemel, made with DAVIS 10y order Of
BUCHANAN, before the termination of his
administration.
1t was apparent from the whole course
ofpab.ic affairs, that Mr. SEWARD acted
in concert with Mr. DCcnANAH's Admin,
istra.ion during tie last three months Of
its term. Il was y tie coalition formed
between SEwAED and STANTON, then in
BCcHAHAS's Cabinet, that the latter be-
cane Secretary Of War to Mr. LINcoLS.
BLAIn charges tbas STANTON was originally
in fglI sympathy with the rebel leaders in
Congress, and was most violent in bis de-
nuEcatious until ho entered Mr. LIN
coLs's Cabinet.

CARL SHURz.-It is understood that the
course Of Gen. Carl Shurz, now travelling
in the south By orders from the govern
ment, does not meet tho approval Of the
President and it is expected that he will
be recalled soon. It is alleged that he
writes for northern newspapers his Impress
ions OF what he has seen, and publishes
opinions as to what policy ought to be
pursued towards the southern states, in,
stead Of making his reports direct to the
war department for the information of the
President.
Whether travelling in the South, or
preaching niger in the North, CARL
SnUHz is the greatest humbug the present
age has produced.

The Atlantic Gable,

The New York Evening Post publishes
a letter from Capt. AsDERsoN, of the
Great Eastern, concerning the failure to
lay the cable. He says he was a, first a
d0ubter, but, seeing the means adop-
ted, be became hopeful. Then with the
actual experience he has become sanguine.
He briefly details this experience, which
has already been stated, and earnestly
urges another trial, first in laying a new
cable with additional machinery, and then
picking up the old one. LIE suggests
that the new cable be laid next May,
because the Great Eastern and :he neces>
ssry machinery can not be got ready un-
der two (not ten as telegraphedl months.
His letter shows that he is very sanguine
as TO the ultimate success, and says Mr.,
FIELD and all on board share the hope
fully.
The last mails from England bring re-
ports from high authority that the Great
Eastern will be a: once despatched from
5heerness to Newfoundland. The ;object
Of this trip is to fish up, on the way the
fragments Of the discovered cable, which,
it is hoped, will be recovered by means of
grapneIs and buoys. The promoters Of the
enterprise in England are determined to
lay another cable mex: year, making use
Of the recovered portions Of the old one

The Fenians-A Blow to be Struck
Within SiX Months.

Ata meeting Of Fenans, held in New
York on Friday, Mr.. Campbell address,
ed the assemblage, and, ia the course of
his remarks:
Il" He exhorted all who were rot in the
Protherhood to Join at orce. The object
was to send money to their brothers across
the sea. lie (the speaker did Lot mean
to stay long in America, but was going to
his native country to help them. The
crash Will come, and before six months
are over Ireland vii be free or die. They
would show to the world they were capa
bic of governing themselves, and place
themselves on the list of nations"
All the Fenian speeches latterly state
;hat the time for the confirmation of their
purpose is close at hand. This speaker
asserts positively that the blow for Ire
lands freedom will be struck within six
months. These positive assurances must
have a base Of truth and the public,
knowing nothing, can only'wait and Won
der how this seeming pracle is to be ac-
comphshed.

ArOUrsIDER's VIEW OF MANIrowoC.-
Mr. HUME, of the Chiffon Times, on his
return home from visit to Mantowoc,
gives favorable notice to some of our
business men and the town generally.
he says he las known Banker Shove for
a dozen years, and L" feels some pride in
announcing that By his indomltable per>
severance, integrity and strict attention to
business he has won his present enviable
position among bis fellow citizens" He
called at GIBsoS's Gallery Of art, found
the Dr. crowded with business, and con-
siders him the best artist in Northern
Wisconsin, in which opinion we concide.
From his own acknowledgement it appears
that the editor of the Times could not re-
frain from visiting some of our drinking
saloons, although we thought we kept a
very watchiu! eye over him. lie says be
called at the new Billiard Saloon of MILES
& PLUMMER, in the upper apartments Of
McDoNALD's old store, and found it
"what strangers noticed our town long
needed-a live, respectable institution,
where a visitor can have a comfortable
chat with bis friends, and at the same
time get something that will not kill at so
rods, to refresh the "inner man."
Mr.. HUME speaks of our village generally
as follows:
"New buildings are going up in every
direction, apd several new stores will be
started this Fall to meet the pressing de-
mands Of the rapidly increasing business.
Among the number we particularly noticed
an elegant and mammoth establishment,
on the corner of Sth and York streets
which will be occupied by Hon. JOS. Villas,
ex Senator from this district. There will
be three separate stores in this building !;
a dry goods and grocery store fronting on
York and a hardware store on Sth street :;
and in the second story large tin shop
will be in operation. Taken altogether it
will be one Of the larges. establishments
in this section of the State, ard it canno.
fail of being profitable one, as Mr.. Villas
is well known to be not only the most
popular man in Mantowoc County, but
also the best business man in that thriving
village.
For stranger to form an idea of the
business of Mauitowoc he should be up at
the early dawn, for it is then the hardy
and industrious backwoodsmen are on the
move and the teams come pouring in laden
with grain, shingles and other products of
the surrounding country.
The railroad matters of Manitowoc we
learned were assuming tangible shape
and in a,short time arrangements, it is
hoped, will BE made for Its completion.
The prospect for an early completion Of
its harbor is also very good, and when
these two projects ere completed Mani
towoc will make rapid strides towards be-
ing one of the largest and best business
points in the State. Manitowoc is the
natural out let of a large portion of Calu>
met County, and our citizens exceedingly
regret that owing to the bad state of the
roads they arc debarred from taking adj
vantage of the Manitowoc marke, large
portion Of the year; but it is hoped that
Time, which is said to make all things
even, viii yet give US good level road to
Manitowoc in place of the miserable coEdu-
roy We have TO use at present.

SnoEING Houses THAT OVER REACH
In the Mark Lane Erpress, blacksmith,
who has had much experience in the art
Of shoeing, contends tia: in order to pre-
vent horses from over-reacbing they
should be shod as follows: Make the toe
cauIzs very low, forward, standing lt.Ie
under, and the shoes set as far back as
convenient, with heel. .caulks, so as to let
the foot roll over as quick as possible.
On the hind foot | have the heel caulk
low, and the toe>cauIk high, and pro-
jecung forward thus giving time for the
forward foot 20 get ont of the way. If
thus shoi the horse will travel c!ean,
without click, and his speed viii be in
creased on trot fifteen or twenty seconds
ia a mile. The reverse Of this rule is
praciiced by blacl,smiths, generally, to
overcome this difficulty. Which is the
best method remains to be decided.
