One day last week as the railroad train,
just east of the Etna bog,
Was laundering along through the State Of Maine,
ltcame to ayclping dog.
Aud raw that the dog looked poor and mean,
As he stood on his hinder part,
And yclpihg like sin as he sat between
A sled and broken cart.
But the train passed on through the Etnabos-
Passed on from the sled andcOrt--
Passed ON from the lousy, yelping dog,
stlll len on HIS hinder part.
Ono day THIS week, as Freedoms train
On It's holy mission sped,
And laundering along through tho State ofMaine,
1t came to aCoppcrhcad,
Andit made mo think Of the m ilroRd train
That dashed through tho Etna bog,
And laundering along through the state OF Maine,
In spite OF tho yelping dog
For the train on Its holy mission sped,
And gladdcned each loyal heart,
Bntitlcit the grumbling oopperhoad
Sull Hat on his hinder part.

your note ofto-day in answer to mine
Of yesterday. l did not intend to pro-
pose the surrender of tho Army of

frank, do not think the emergency
has arisen to call for the surrender of
this army: but as the restoration of
peace should be the sole object of all,
| desire to know whether your pro-
posaIs would tend to that end. /
would not, therefore, meet you with

Northern Virginia; but as far as your
proposition may affect the G. S. forces

of the party sent to AndersonvilIe, Ga,
to lay out the soldiers cemetry there
The letter is dated July 10Th We are
encamped about one hundred yards from
the prison pen of Andersonvhle, and 1t
is in the fullest sense Of the term, moth
ing more than a pen-a human pen
where about thirty thousand Of our sold
iers were huddled together in an onclo-
sure less than two hundred yards long
and scarcely one hundred yards wide,
where they were exposed to the rays Of
mn almost tropical sun, and the shiyering
winds of winter.
More than fifteen thousand men worn
out by exposure and suffering are buried
here. This prison pen should never be
permitted to be destroyed, but should
stand until its stockades fall to the ground
by decay that unbelievers in the North
may look on this ground and convince
themselves of the nhuman cruelties per-
petrated by the rebels upon our prisoners.
There are about Ii 900 head-boards yet

This place is beautifully situated in the
Northwestern part of Butler county, on
the road leading from Pittsburgh to
Franklin; about So miles from the former
ard 20 miles from the latter; and is 2l
miles from Butler boro "a miles from
New Castle and 13 from Mercer, and con-
tains over 300 Inhabitants. There are
three churches in the Borough and the
U. p. G. one mile west There are four
stores, all doing good business; one
foundry, not now in operation, lately pur-
chased by Mr. Bigham of Centreville,
who will open up business in short time
There are three blacksmith shops, l tan
merry, one cabinet shop, one pottery, one
wagon shop. three saddle and harness
shops, 8 shoe shops, 2 Temperance hotels, l
grocery and one place-generalIy callsa
doggc,y, where they profess to sell drinks
that do not intoxicate, but persons have
been seen emerging from the same with
heavy heads and Timber legs; and the
good people Of the Borough and vicinity
have determined that its quarters must be
moved to some other place, and those who
are acquainted with the citizens OF that
locality know full well that they are in
earnest, with regard to that which is cal
culated to destroy the morals Of any com
munity.
There are three Physicians in the lin
its of the Borough; l select and COM
mon schools.
The surrounding country is well i'm
proved beautiful and well cultivated
farms surround the place. The Bear
Creek r. r. part of which is now being
put under contract, will run, if not di-
recty through, at least near the Borough;
this fact added to the pleasantness Of
the situation, the intelligence and moral
ity of the people will no doubt make it
desirable locality in which to settle. We
hope that all the sanguine expectations Of
the citizens of the Boro. and vicinity
may be realized and that prosperity and
happinese may attend them.

THE GREAT CABLE FAILURE.
There can no longer be any doubt
of the failure of the Atlantic cable,
which, we may conclude, will for the
present end all such enterprises on
the other side of the ocean. The
British have tried their hands often
enough to be satisfied that it is not in
them to girdle the world so far as
the Atlantic is concerned. Perhaps
the Yankees will think it best to
show them how. AS to that, howev-
er, our sympathics for the present
are with the overland enterprise 60
ing forward with so much zeal and
success. Experience has weakened
confidence in submarine cables, not
one of the many laid down having
continued to be serviceable any con-
cidcrab time. If the cable has
failed, science has gained something
in the experiments that have been
madn,-but we doubt if that will sat
isfy the English stockholders
