BARBARA FRITCHIE.


By JOHN O. WHITTIER.
Up from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
The clustered spires Of Frederick stand,
Gre en-walled by the hills Of Maryland.
Round ab.ut lhem orchards sweep,
Apple and peach trees fruted deep,
Far as a Garden Of the Lord
10 the eyes Of the famshe rebel horde.
On that pleasant morn Of the early fall,
When Lee marched over the mountain wall,
Over the mountain winding down,
Morse and feoi, into Frederick town.
Forty flags with thcir silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind the sun
AT noon looked down and saw not one.
Up rose old Barbara Fritchir then,
Bowed with her four score years and ten.
Bravsst OF all in Frederick town,
She took up the old flag the men hauled down.
In her attic window the ,tnf she .et,
To show that one heart was loyal YET
Up the street came the rebel tread; ...
Stoncwall Jackson riding ahead
Under his slouched hat, left and right,
He glanced-the old flag mel his sight.
"Hslt !"-the dust brown ranks stood fast:
"Fire !"-out blazed the rife blast;
It shivered the window pane and sash;
II rent the banner with seam and gush,
Duck us it Tell from the broken staff
Dame barbara snached the silken scarf;
She leaned far out OH the window sill,
And shook il forth witt royul will,
"Shoot il you must this gray old head,
But spare your country's flag" she said.
A shade Of sadness. blush Of shame,
Over the face OF the leader came;
The noblcr nnture within him stirred
To life at that weinan's deed und word
"Who touches a hair OF yon gray head,
Dies like dog march on he said.
All day long through Frederick street,
Sounded the tread OF marching feet;
All day long that free flag tossed,
Over the heads oi the rebel host
Ever its torn folds ro sc and fell,
On the loyal winds that loved IL well.
And through the hill gaps sunset light
Shone over Il with u warm good night
Barbara Fritchie's work is o er,
And the rebel rides OIL his raids no more.
Honor to her! and let tear
Fall for her sake oh Stonewalls bier.
Over Barbara Friichie's grave
Flag Of Freedom and Union wave;
Feace and order a,,dieau,y draw
Round thy symbol oil light and law;
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below in Frederick town.

CHANGES RKfurKp.-The Portland Arms has
been making great ado for some day, back of
alleged frauds and corruption, to the effect that
some seven hundred men, chiefly negroes. were
enlisted in the rebel States upon the quota of
Maine, and should have been credited upon the
quotas Of the several districts but that these
men were sold to the different towns and the
proceeds amounting 10 some three hundred thou
sand dollars pocketed BY certain parties un-
known to the Argus. The same paper also
insinuates that Gov. Cony and Adjt. General
Hodsdon were convcrsant Of the frauds, or IL
not. werc remis in their dutioS.
In Mondays, Argus is letter from Gen.
Hodsdon. Who challenges Investigation into his

enlisted In tho rebel States. N ' sf'

Divine guidance in the ways of national virtue
and holiness.

IMPORTANT TO HacKxKN AND CARrxEN.-Mr.
Orion, the Internal Revenue Commissioner,
has decided that the provisions OF section 203
Of the tax law, which imposes q duty upon
the gross receipts Of persons having the care or
management Of railroads, canals, steamboats,,
ships, bargcs, canal boats or other vessels, or
Of stage coaches or other vehicles employed in
the business of transporting Passengers or
property for hire, do not apply to hackmen
and cartmen, and further returns and payment
from such persons will not DO required. The
decision is made on the ground that hackmen
and cartmen cannot easily recover from their
patrons the taxes hitherto assessed upon them,
as may be done BY the other public carriers
mentioned.
