SAM HoUsToN UNION TO THE LAsT.-A letter in
a Philadelphia paper, from prominent Union
man, recently from Texas, now resident in Mex
leo, thus settles disputed question
Sam Houston is dead. The Union men of
Texas lament his loss. He died of broken
heart The secessionists hung upon his trail
from the day he was deposed. Ashort time be-
fore the good old man brcathed his last, they
went to his house to catechise him about his
political views. His family begged them to
desist as death would soon relieve them from
further surveillance. The newspapers of Texas
endeavored to convince the world that the old
hero of San Jacinto had changed his opinions,
but he died as lie lived, loving the Union, and
not convinced they would will:

The Song of the Bug1e.

Out of my brazen throat each morn
! sound the call at the break of day.
And my hollow notes on the winds are borne
High over the hills and far away:
But first they wind through the drowsy camp,
Then on through valley and over the hills.
BY field. and river, and wood they 60,
Till the mellow music the wide air fills
The trooper starts from his bed on the ground
Where all night in sleep he lay;
The war-horse neighs when he hears the sound
Float on through the camp at the dawn of day;
And the trooper buckleS against his side
The trusty blade he has worn so long:
And away the river, and field and wood
Wind the mellow notes Of my morning song
The wild bird hears il within his nest
High up in the tops of the tall pine trees
As hc puurs from out his swelling breast
His own sweet song on the swelling breeze
Then call aloud from my hollow lungs.
''To horse! to horsem and the sabrcs clang.
And the wide woods echo if through their breath
thousand Gathering anvils rang.
Then forward. and ever the rugged way
Sound the clang Of the sabre the horses loud tramp
The sun looks out from the halls of day,
But views no longer waking camp:
And out Of my braZen throat fling
mellow greeting SO loud and clear
That it rings through the misty wales and wakes
The slumherng echoes afar and near.

SENATOR STEWART on THE UNION PARTY.-Sen-
ator Stewart, of Nevada, in his address at San
Francisco last Tuesday evening. spoke as follows
of the Union party;
The Federal Administration demands our cor
dial support and earnest encouragement of the
entire Union party during its present arduous
investigation of the most embarrassing and per-
picking questions that eve- engaged the human
intellect. 1t shudders in fear and dismay at all
efforts to commit that faithful and self-sacrihcing
party to immature and doubtful positions that
may frttcr away and distract its strength, to the
elevation to power of the enemies of the Govern
ment. 1t will be full and ample time for Union
loving citizens to array themselves in opposition
to the policy of the Government when that policy
has assumed distinctive form, and become fully
revealed.
Permit me to say to the Union party, in con-
cusion, that in the blood and carnage and
horrors of the past, your united front and har-
monious ranks rescued our beloved and glorious
country from destruction, will like unanimity
of sentiment and concord of action successfully
conduct it through the severe trials of the present
into a future career of unmoested peace and
unprecedented prosperity.

confidence Of Copperheads or Union men. They

himself and his principles when he prefers dis

GEN. SLocUM on THE PRIVATE SoLDIER-When
Gen. Slocum was welcomed to his home at Syr
acuse, New York, recently, he paid the following
compliment to the private soldiers Of the army :
The field OF battle is not the only test of cour-
age and manliness in the life of Il soldier. The
long and fatiguing marches, the labor in the
trenches, the short allowance of food, are all
tests as severe as any presented by battle
have men of my command, after working
waist deep in water, building bridges over the
rivers and roads through the swampS of the Car
olinas, go quietly to their tents, and without a
change of clothing, make an ear of corn supply
the usual ration. ! have seen this frequently
and never yet heard word Of complaint. Hap
PLY, all these things are over. The SOL
dier's work is done and well done. They return
to you better men, physically and mentally, than
when they left you and am confident you will
find the great mass of them uninjured in morals.
Open your shops to them, give them good en-
ployment. and am certain you will find them
as faithful citizens they have been as soldiers.

a correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes humorously in regard to thc great buffalo
hunt now in anticipation. He says
The expedition will start from Lcavcnworth
City about August 10th. Previously it will be
organized by persons joining in association,
each being a shareholder to the amount of
two hundred dollars, fifty dollars Immediately to
rbe paid. One hundred and twenty-five men,
each with good horse and with full provision
train are to seek the country of the buffalo,
distant about eight hundred miles.
On approaching a herd, the hOrsemcn viii
surround it, but leave twenty-five in reserve,
and the line will inclose nine square miles of
butialoes, the horsemen being about quarter of
Il mile apart. OF course, the buifaioes will run,
and the plan is to let them run. but toward the
States, and as fast as they please. lt they show
a disposition at any time 10 break through, the
twenty-five horsemen in reserve are TO come up
and keen them back. This they can easily do
When the bufaoes get tired of running, they
will be permitted to stop, and feed and drink,
but if they will not, they may keep running till
they get tired of it, for at last they must stop.
1t is calculated that the drove will be about ten
thousand strong.
While they are feeding, the horsemen are to
keep in sight, still at such distance as not to
scare them.
This business is to be kept up till they get used
to the horsemen, and if at any time they want to
break and run the horsemen will be ready for
them still. all the while they to be headed
for the Missouri river, where and boats will
be waiting to take them board, all bound for
New York, Phiad elphia and Boston. The meat
is very Fat and good at this time of the year.
The success of the plan is TO depend the
fact that a buffalo can run only three miles,
while horse can run four miles hour. In
from three TO six weeks they VIII become so
tame that they can be driven with little trouble
till they reach the Missouri river.
Should they, contrary to all calculations prove
unmanag geabe. they are to be got to the
river as possible, and then slaughtered, when
their meat and robes will make the business
very profitable.
