From the Old Gnard.
THE. CHARGE BY THE FORD.
BY THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH


Eighty and nine. with their Captain,
Rode in the enemy's track,
Rode in the grey of the morning
Nine of the ninety came back.
Slow rose the mist from the river,
Lighter each moment the way;
Careless and fearless and fearless,
Galloped they on to the fray.
Singing In tune how the scabbards
Loud on the stirrup-irons rang,
Cilnked as the men rose in saddle,
Fell, as they sank, with clang.
What IS itmoves by the river,
Jaded and weary and weak T?
Grey -backs-a cross on their banner
londer the foe whom they seek.
Silence they see not, they hear not,
Tarrying there by the marge;
Forward draw sabre! Trot Gallon
Charge like hurricane, charge
All twas a man-trap Internal
Fire like the deep pit of he'll;
|oley on volley to meet them,
Mixed with the grey rebels yell.
Ninety had ridden to battle.
Tracing the enemy's track
Ninety had ridden to battle
Nine ofthe ninety came back.
Honor the nine ofthoninety,
Honor the Heroes who came
Scatheless from five hundred muskets.
Safe from the lead bearing flame.
Eighty and one of the troopers
Lie on the field of the slain
Lie on the red field of honor
Honor the nine who remain.
Cold arc the dead there and CORY,
There where the life blood was split
Back come the zine with each sabre
Red from the point to the hilt.
Out with three cheers and tiger
Let tho flags wave as they come
Give them the blarc Of the trumpet!
Give them the roll of th;. drum

And then the little darling paused for

@Wh:ning" Women.

I Brigham Young. of Utah, has been
blowing up the women OF that free-and.
easy Territory in manner al oEce awful
and unique. He accuses them OF "whin.

he ieIls bis own forty wives that he
means Ibem. as we'll as the rest of the

mel OF ths whole dliliculy-the direct
occasion of the dlsagreeahle and unbeara-

heaven on earth for her, she begins 10
"whine" and lalk about 400 many
wives" and The "evis Of polygamy.' p
and such like "blssphemous twabdle.'
Brigham also says il ls his opinion that
any woman who ever lived would be dis.
spponted in the best "Ssinl" in Utah
Fshould she marry him,-and on this poin,
we unreseryedly agree with Brigham.
The Governor gave all The women warn.

Views Of the President Oh the Amend

A special dispatch from Washington re.
Gently says:
representative Eggleston. of Ohio
had a long interview with the Presiden
to-day. lie spent more than an hour ir
conversation with hsm on general matters
recopslruelion among the rest.
After talking of the results of the late
elections, Ms. Eggleston asked the Presi'
dent if he did no, thihk i, would have
been better for him TO have surrendered
his views and opinions in favor of the
popular verdicls in October and Novem.
ber. and moi TO have pressed his policy
in his last message.
The President replied to This that he
did not think he bad shown a further op.
position to ti,s poruisr verdict than mere
ly 10 express his opinions 10 Congress on
what he thought would but conduce TO the
welfare Of lhe country. lie thought the
Radical party had made great mistake
in spending so mach time as they did last
session before announcing upon what
terms they would agree 30 re admit the
Southern States, and what grea, damage
to the public welfare had been the result
Of this delay, and bow that Congress had
passed the amendment, and il was aboui
TO become part Of the Constitution, he
could see no guarantee that the Southern
States would be admitted, even after The
ratification had been fully accomplished.
Mr.. Eggleston replied 10 this that there
was an implied guarantee in the speedy
admission of Tennessee after the Legis-
laiure had raliSed The amendment. and
iha, he thought the party with which he
acted would be neatly a nni' on the adj
mission Of others of the late rebel States.
as soen as they had complied with The
condition exac,ed from Tennessee. 9,
The President said he hoped this would
-ptove,o be true. bu. he feared there
would be strong opposition 10 such pol.
icy from the extreme Radicals. 20
Mr.. Eegleston SAID he felt little doubt
on the subject. There might be some
opposition from Sumner and Stevens, but
j. was good characteristic OF Stevens
that Il he couldn't ge, what he wanted be
would take the best he could gel.
Yes" said The President, "lha,'s true
of Stevens, and always liked him for IT.
A practical man. but he seems ioime to
be working in the wrong direction" The
President repealed. the hope sihsi the
South, would be sdmiiied 10 represents
