AN AEMy's MARCH. General Shc
man amy, in its last march to mee
Johnston, would, if it occupied single
road, require l25 miles Of road to stretch
itself upon. The wagon trains OF this
my cannot march on less than forty
miles of road. Its batteries will cover
seven miles, its ambuances five. It
carries l,S0O, 600 rations of bread, the
same amount of sugar. and the same Of
salt. Eight hundred wagon loads of
bread and 5000, 900 rations Of coffee arc
provided for the trip. and for few days
ratons Of salt meat, $4,000 pounds arc
deemed a fair allowance. The single
item Of ammunition requires one thous-
and wagons--a train Of itself nearly
twelve miles long. The men, in fours,
could not march when well closed up on
less than twenty-five miles Of road. Tive
thousand five hundred pack-muies follow
its regiments. And these calculations DO
not include the intervals between differ
cnt commands, nor a low anything for the
great gaps which any slight delay will
make in moving column.

" The Chicago Post says the name
Of the state Of Illineis originated in this
manner a party Of Frenchmen set
oat upon an exploring expedition down
the river, which they afterward named,
providing themselves with bark canvas,
and relying chiefly for their subsistence
upon the game. They found at the con-
aucncc OF this river with the Mississippi,
an island thickly wooded with black wal
nut. 1t was a season Of the year when
the nuts were ripe, and this party of ex-
plorers, encamping upon this island, great
ly enjoyed the luxury of this fruit. From
this circumstance they called the island
the Island Of Nuts'-cr, in French, Isle
aur nois'-whicl, name was given to the
river which they explored, and thence TO
the territory and state. This explaua.
ton Of the word illinois more fully ac-
ceras with .the photography Of the word,

To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune.
SIR: The authorship of the poem whcl
was such favOrite of President Lincoln's
beginning, "Oh, why should the spirit o.
mortal be proud 7" &C., which Mr.. F B.
Carpenter writes to the editor of III,
fIrening Post, Mr.. Lincoln once repeated
to lim from.memory, and which by some
is supposed to have been the late Presi-
dents composition, we find in a collection
entitled. '1hc Sacred Poets of England
and America edited by by Rufus w
Grswold, and published by Appleton
The author of this poem is therein stated
to be William Knox, who was born in
humble life in Roxburyshire in 1859, and
died in I.linburg in 1925. The poem as
therein transcribed, with slight variations
is like that published in The Tribune, with
the addition of the following verse, which
is the seventh in order:
:'The saint who enjoyed the communion o
Heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain unforgivcn
The wise and the foolish the guilty aud just
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust.

New countries have wants and habits
peculiar to themselves. In our widely
extended and sparsely settled territory
medicines ready prepared are more EN-.

than in the old countries. DR.. Ayers
preparations have given the public greater
confidence in this class Of remedies than

use Of such ready at hand antidotes FOR
disease, when they can be depended on.

Correspondence.

ELLSWORTH, April Goth, 1865.
This day, appointed as a Fast, contem
plated, in consideration of our gloriou:
succession of victories, to be observed as
a Thanksgiving. has by our great national
bereavement become a day of mourning
Had we needed assurance of the unan-
unity of feeling of our people, this great
shock of the mental telegraph, involving
instantly the whole nation in common
individual woe, is sufficient proof, hut we
did not need it; for the great lessons of
the past four Years have been uniting and
strengthening us, till we feel that We are
indeed one and inseparable.
Other truths, too, have been taught us,
and not the least of these is frmer rcli-
ance and deeper trust i'll God, not only as
the God of battles, but of nations, and OF
people. Through this whole struggle, that
only last week we thought so nearly ended,
how signally have We traced the hand OF
God. Events of terrible magnitude have
succeeded each other, in such rapid success
ion, as to mock our feeble foresight, an
ticipatc cur most hopeless hopes, and be-
lie our worst fears. Individual sorrows,
too have been borne with fortitude that
enlisted our admiration, and made us feel
that heroisln was not confined to the bat
tlciicld. We should daily thank God that
he mas permitted us to live in these times,
that he has permitted us to be Part and
parcel of this great nation. We have
! seen how he has allowed the negroes to
become their own avengcrs--to help them
selves and will hope that the poor whites
will now have a "chance :" for in giving
them an execution of their own, We sec
that their wrongs too have come up before
Him who suffers not a sparrow to. fall
without his notice.
No one even now that this great woe is
upon us dares murmur-a great national
hush is upon us, as if answering to the
injunction "Be still and know that l am
God" ONE OF MANY.

Some people, n little enthusiastic, look
upon baby 'as thing of beauty and a

on their beauty, and their "joy forever"
would quickly vanish on having it COM

early in life, and have never been babies
since.

Babies. like every one else, have their
faults and dark sides. BY their dark sides
we have no reference to negroe babies !;
yet we would not abolish babies if We
had the power because such babies as VIC
have are better than no babies at all, but
we insist that our friend shall refrain
from asking us if their own particular
baby "is not handsome 2" We hate to
hurt our friends feeling, but all cannot
see beauty alike, and in nine cases out Of
ten we are obliged to tell small.sized

baby, and SO like his mother" We re-
member yet, when youth, of once dar-

shall never forget it, neither shall we
ever answer so again. We hope We have
been forgiven, but fear We have not. If
we have written anything that has Of

worse, unless he wears wig, in which
case he must un1uestionably be classed

denotes misanthropy, continued suffering,

not one thing to mans face and another
behind his back. If by accident ho comes
into possession Of his neighbor's counsels,
he passes upon them an act of instant
oblivion. He bears scaled packages With

meant for his eye, whether they futter in

possesses no privacy OF others, however

and keys, hedges and pickets, bonds and
securities, notices to trespassers, are none
of them for him. lie may be trusted,
himself out OF sight-near the thinnest
partition anywhere. lie buys no office,
he sells none, he intrigues for none. He
would rather fall Of his rights than win
them through dishonor. He will eat hon.

open, and manly. He cannot desceRd to

Dr. Hall, Bishop Simpson, Rev. DR.. Gurey nj
Rev. DR.. Grey, Chaplain of the United Stat
'enate.
With we.profound this day
nation bows to pray,
And mourns chief.
Through all the stricken land
Waiting assemblies stand,
And kiss the shifting hand,
In utter grief.
The Almighty Ruler hears
The contrite nations tears
Fall Mt his feet
Makes their just ca use His care
Hears and indites their prayer;
For them doth still make baro
His merry-scat.
'Tis GoD who hath removed
Him whom the people loved,
A leader rare
IIe gave h,n, strength and light,
And still defends the right
Grants still His holy might
To men Of prayer.
Then here We humbly bow,
Great God, before Thee now,
And with Thee plead.
Sovereign o'cr al! DEGREES,
Who canst do what Thou please,
Lord Of all lands and seas,
Supply our need.
Our sins We do confess;
In mercy do Thou bless
Our bleeding land,
Till nil the world shall own
That here Thy name is known,
And Thine the only Throne
That here may stand.
King Of Eternity,
We do entreat Of Thee
To be our guide.
Der all our 'powcrs that be,"
And realms beyond the sea,
In sovereign majesty
Do there preside.
The wounded, wronged, and grieved,
All by the sword bereaved,
Do Thou console.
All treason, Lord, suppress,
All loyal subjects bless,
And heal our sore distress,
Bs Thy control.
Without Thy skill to plan,
We dare not trust in man
His arm, how frail.
Without both heart and hand
To follow Thy command,
And Thy co-workers stand,
Our hopes must fail.
To Thee We must appeal
Our Impotence we ieel,
And plead Thy power;
Thine aid that we may do
" hat to mankind is trae,
What to Thy Throne is due,
Hence from this hoar.
And now, Thou perfect OSE-
True God, the Father, Son,
And Holy Ghost
We yield oWs,iues to Thee,
And humby beg to be,
To all eternity,
Of Thy pure host.
