lhe mute J}ect of nature our desecrat-
ed churches aud affairs, our sweet valleys
drenched in blood and charred BY FIRE,
forbid it. The dead would cry out against
it from their CORY beds The blood of my
own son, yet unrevenged, cries to Heaven
from the ground for vengeance. The
thousands who are sleeping red in their
graves would awake and utter their sol

Stuart, Rhodes, Morgan, Preston Smith,
and the thousands over whose remains q
monument to the unknown dead shaH be

more worthy than the living. Their spirits
walk abroad, and STIR the hearts of living
men to do or die in the cause of liberty.
We cherish their memory. Weeping vir-

around their tombs and bcdew with their
tears the graves where they sleep. Poe

| We give In charge their names to the
sweet Tyre. The historic muse, prond OF
her treasure, shall march with it down to
the latest times, and sculpture in her turn
shall give bond in stone and ever iurlng
brass, TO guard them an d immortalize her
trust The soldiers whe have died in this
war are not only epshrined in the inner
most core Of our hearts, but, to the minds
eye, are ever IN cur sight"
On fane's eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread;
/ And glory guards with solemn round,

Treasury notes in the establishments of
Evans & Cogswell and Heating & Ball,

the other extensive machinery of those
well known firms. The dies End plates
