A CA Il ID.

In the Texas Republican. Of the 23d OF
Decembrr 1864. there appears commit
nica,ion over the signature Of one Thos. G.
Reynolds. who prctends to be, and styles
himself IN it. the Governor of the State OF
Missouri.
The communication purports to defend
two gallant and distinguished officers
against charges alleged TO have been made
against them; but which had never heard
made by either officer or soldier. In reality
it was intended to be a violent and mailg-
nant attack upon myself, rs the officer IN
command of the late expedition to Missouri.
So far as the communication pays tribute
to the ga'lantry displayed by the officers
and soldiers engaged in that expedition.
heartily concur in it. So far as 1t relates
to myself however, pronounce 1t to be /"
tissue of falsehoods.

Farewell loved city of my birth.
Thy orange and Masnoiias >hade;
Farewell . thou brightest spot on earth-
When in childish ispns prayed.
Farew ell yet only for a while,
thrice twenty thousand proud hearts throb
To crush 10 earth the rufiiaas vile,
Who would thee OF thy beauty rob.
On every field thy hero sons,
Their blood have poured at freedoms
shrine.
In battle tor our own loved ones.
And for those rights we hold divine.
On many fields their viii eued bones
Yet lie unhonore by grave.
The night wind DER them mournful moans,
And the cypress b anches sadly wave.
What tears of bitterness are shed
By LOVING sister. vie or mother,
Far from the fields where lie The dead
And ,nang!eI husband. son or brother.
But sorrows i'll by tears will melt
And TIE joyous smile replace the moan,
When they think OF blows the loved one
dealt,
Ere he bowed to the war gods CORY
throne.
Bat may thy re,reant sons who fled
Self ex!led to an an aliens land
Compelled by naUght. beg for their bread,
And bear tor aye, the towards brand.
When nights tcmpc>tous on them lower,
In winters icy robe arrayed,
What t"cy in agony think Ter,
The home their coward hearts betrayed.
Fear not nights curtain soon will rise,
And the sun resume his wanted glow
And smiles beam in thy daughters eyes,
To fear no more the hated foe.
oh joy when we our loved ones meet,
Delivered from the tyrants power.
The trials borne will then seem sweet.
Tha bring the blessings OF that hour.
Farewell. till at thy gates we stand,
Thy hrralds OF returning day.
With death devoted sword in hand.
To wash in blood thy wrongs away.
Who will the tale Of vengeance tell,
For insults and for murders foul,
That day shall tiends ejoice III he'll.
And Shake their realm with JOYOUS howl,

From and after the hrst day Of December the
price Of the DAILY NATIONAL RRPuBLIoAS, de-
livered at the residences Of subscribers, will
be ten cents per week, or forty-nve cents per
month.
In consequence ofthe great drought which has
prevailed for months past In the Middle and
Northern States, the paper mills worked BY
water. power In those States have furnished but
little paper, aud some have stopped altogether,
making IL impossible for those worked BY steam
power TO supply the demand. Much paper has
sequently been imported at heavy cost
In consequence OF this fact the price ef paper
has Increased, since we reduced the price OF the
REPUBLICAN, in July last, over Grty per cent
We are therefore compelled to increase the price
10 meet this unprecedented rise in the price Of
paper, but hope that 1t will be only temporary
and that we shall be able to resume the old prices
In short time.
