THE CANfEEN.

BY PRIVATE MILES OREIL94Y.
There are bonds of all sorts in this world Of ours,
Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers,
And true-lovers knots | ween;
The girl and the boy are bound by kiss,
But there's bond, old friend like this -
We have drunk from the same canteen!
1t was sometimes water and sometimes milk,
Aud sometimes apple jack, fnelas silk,
But whatever the tipple has been,
We shared it together, in baDe or bliss,
And | warm to you, when [ think of this,
We have drunk from the same canteen!
The rich and the great sit down to dine,
And they quaff to each other in sparkling wine,
From glasses of crystal and green;
But | guess in their golden potations they miss
The warmth of regard to be found in this
We have drunk from the same canteen
We have shared our blankets and tent together,
And have marched and fought in all kinds Of
weather,
And hungry and full have been;
Had days of battle and days of rest,
But this memory cling to and love the best
We have drunk from the same canteen!
For when wounded'I lay on the outer slope.
With my blood flowing fast, and but little hope
Upon which my faint spirit gould lean;
Oh then, | remember, crawled to my side,
And, bleeding so fast it seemed both must have
died,
We drank from the same canteen!

the Treasury:
Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1865-07-07
DeIanO Endorsed,

a few days since we published some
extracts from speech Of Columbus De.
lsno, member of Congress elect from thu
Knox District, in which he declared that
without the aid of negro sol tiers, our AT.
mics would not have succeeded and as a
reward for their services, they must be
invested with all the rights of citizenship
sit on juries, hold Office and vote at
elections.
The Cleveland Leader, the big gun Of the
AboliIi miss on the Reserve, don't know
whether Delsno ever used this language,
but hopes sit is true that this distinguish =
ed statesman has taken ground in favor of
doing justice to the black soldiers of the
Union. Mr.. Delano has been accounted
a.conserYatiye. but such course as this
will entitle him to thetespect and conf
dence of the most progressive anti.slavery
men"
That the Abolitionists of Ohio endorse
the radical sentiments of Delano, there
can be no doubt; but in the excess of their
love for tine negro they entirely overlook
the claims of our white soldiers. We be-
leve that our armies contained great
many soldiers Of foreign birth-especially
Germans and Irishmen-whoa are not legal
citizens of the United States, but who
rendered gallant service in the ranks of
our armies. These men, it seems, are to
be prescribed on account Of color, or, 10
other words. for the misfortune of being
whte men. Their right to citizenship, is
certainly not inferior to that of the negro,
in a legal or any other point of view, and
the only reason why they are prescribed,
is that the Radicals fear they will vote
against them. White soldiers of foreign
(not Atrican) descent, should bear these
things in mind.

EndIctmsnt of GeneraI Ice.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes as follows !:
The indictment found against Lee. by
the grand jury of Eastern Virginia is
most nonsensical proceeding. The bill
could not be issued on the authority of the
General Government, for the latter is
pledged not to modest Lee while further
it does not recognize the proceedings Of
the court which has brought in the indct.
ment. Nor can the grand jury sit thus
for the State, for Lee has not committed
treason against it, He took up arms in
obedience to call of the State, in her
defence, and how then can he be in licted
for treason against the State i? So silly
is tie action of the grand jury, that find
every one is laughing at it,"
