The Battle Hymn of the Republic

To the Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette:
1t is time that everybody should
know who wrote this immortal hymn.
1t has been often attributed to Whit
tier. A correspondent, in the Okio
State Journal quotes the last
verse, as from the pen of Mrs. Harri-
ct Beecher Stowe. While in the Sill

tion Of John Church, Jr., of Cincin.

composed it while prisoner in Lib
ty. He was not long since, introduc-
ed to an audience of three thousand
people as the author Of that hymn.
This confusion arises from an absurd
other leading magazines, Of publish
ing articles without the authors 8
names prefiXed.
"The Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lie" was composed at the beginning
OF the war by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
OF Boston. While she was writing,
without realizing it, her soul took up
the measure OF the John Brown cho-
rus, and to that tune the nation has
been singing it. l believeit had sell
dom been sung to that tune before
that eventful morning of the sixth OF
July, 1858, when the news of Gettys-
burg lifted the respondent hearts of
the prisoners in Libby from utter de-
spair to delirium of joy. Soon af-
terward it was sung in the hall of the
House of Representatives, Mr.. Lin
coin joining in the chorus, and call
ing for its repetition and he remark
ed in my hearing, "That is the finest
hymn l ever heard.' Eminent mu-
sical composers have tried to rescue
it from its connection with the John
Brown chorus by setting 1t to finer
music, but they have never succeed
ed. They cannot bury it. One can
not help wishing that pen so pow
erful as Mrs. Howe's might be more
prolific. She seldom writes for the
public eye, but when she does her
words are craven i'll the memory of
the nation Gas an iron pen, and will
lead in the rock forever" &C.

by the late Senator Douglas, and in

Tall walnut book cases surround
three sides of the library. Every
thing relating TO the business OF war
is there, and histories IN abundance.
The usual display of fiction, essays,
biography, philosophy, and works of
general information and reference,
line the shelves. On the mantel is q
cigar stand, a bronze statue Of o
drummer, and another of bugler
Engravings of Washington. Lincoln,
Sherman, and Sheridan, and several

NOTHING BUT LEAVES.

Not hing but leaves The spirit gr.eyes
Over a wasted life;
Sin committed while conscience slept.
Pro mises made and never kept:
Hatred, battles and strife,
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves; no gathering shesyes
flife's fair ripened grain;..
Words, idle words. for earnest deeds:
We SOW our seeds-lo! tares and weeds.
We reap for toll and pain
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves; memory weaves
No veil to screen the past;
As we retrace our weary way,
Counting each lost and misspent day,
We sadly find 1t last,
Nothing bat leaves.
And shall we meet our Father 50,
Bearing our withered leaves Z
The Savior looks for perfect fruit
We stand before him humbled, mute,
Writing the words he breathes-
Nothing but leaves.

Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-08-19

On Tuesday last, the Dayton Journal, pre-
suming that Mr.. .VALLANDIGHAM would not
be "a candidate for Congress, had the follow
ing:
"The delegates from this county were
selected with a view to enable Vallandig-
ham to dictate the nominee, or to command
the place for himself. 1t is understood that
If he should be nominated his friends are
to understand that he thinks there are some
chances for the election of Seymour and
Blair. If he does not take the nomination.
it is understood that he believes there is no
prospect in their favor"
AS Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM was nominated
and has accepted, the Journal will under
stand that his friends, like all other sensi.
BILE persons, think "there are some chances
for the election of SEYMOUR and BLAIR
Indeed, we understand they are quite con-
fident. and that confidence is shared by the
entire Democracy.

EVEN at q time when the French people
are looking forward to speedy war, the
credit of the Government is so high that,
upon calling TORS loan, thirty -four times
the amount wanted Is at once offered, al
low rates of interest. Why is not Ameri-
lean credit as high, and why cannot we
C ,mmand loans at three or four per cent
-Neeo York Times.
The reason is one easily given. The
French people, like those of the United
States, have no confidence in the Radical
leaders. Since the accession of the present
leaders of the Republican party to power,
corruption has boiled and bubbled until
it has ss o'errun the stew" The profigacy
of Radicalism, which spends millions in
feeding lazy negroes at the South, and
keeps up large Standing Army, in order
to provide for its own retention in power
makes capitalists lose confidence in the du.
rability of the American Republic.
When the Democracy ruled the nation.
its credit stood among the best of civilized
nations. Now it has sunk so low that par
allels between the credit OF the United
States and that of France are far from
being fattering to the patriotic heart.
