SONG.

Speak gently, step lightly,
Ger the dead soldiers grave
Who died in bloody battle,
His country TO save.
Tho his strong arm be withered,
He Is still with us here,
In the praise of the nation,
AS it falls on our ear.
CHoRUs.-Then wen march boldly on,
Though death bars the way,
With our old flag waving oer US,
None but traitors viii say nav.
With the stars and stripes respected
We will come back, by and by;
In some quiet little churchyard.
May our bones in honor lie.
Speak gently, step lightly,
As you pass down that lane;
There lives poor maiden
Whose lover was slain;
Though she mourns broken-hearted,
Like a true Yankee girl,
She smiles through her tears to see
That dear old flag unfurled.
Speak gently, step lightly,
As you pass by that coti
There lives poor widow,
May she ue'er be forgot;
She gave husband and son
To her country and God,
She's alone; they lie buried
Meath Antietam's sod.
Speak gently, step lightly,
AS you pass by that mound;
There the bones of traitor
Lie deep in the ground.
How died he in battle,
Beneath that old oak ?
MOI his doom was the traitors,
He died by the rope +"
Speak gently, step lightly,
Though terrors have passed,
Betwixt the North and the South,
May they be the last;
With our country united
And blest evermore,
Well tackle France and England
And settle the old score,

EDWIN H. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
CRY Po1Nr, March 23.-Hon E. NJ Stan
ton, Secretary of Var: Richmond papers re-
ceived. The following is from dispatch from
North Carolina:
SIT is understood in official circles that TO
fighting has occurred in North Carolina since
Sunday, and from all we can learn it appears
that Sherman has attempted no advance since
his check on that day"
General Hardee's victory on the 9th inst.
was very important one, and as regards the
enemy most bloody affair. General Johns
ton telegraphs that in that battle the Corfed
crate loss was $50, while that Of the enemy
was 300. The fight took place at Averys-
boro, on the Cape Fear river, half way between
Raleigh and Fayetteville.
General Johnston's defeat of the enemy
last Sunday, the 10Th inst, occurred at Ben
tonylle, near the Neuse river"
BY these facts we are informed that Sher-
man has been pnshing towards Raleigh in two
columns-one moving due north from Fayette
Vile, the other northward from Newbern.
General Hardee fought the former, General
Johnston the latter.
