WI ESEC FN CAMP.
BY JOHN II. THOMPSON.


Two armies covered hill and plain,
Where Rappahannock's waters
Ran deeply crimsoned with the stain
Of battles recent slaughters
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
In meads of heavenly azure
And each dread gun fthe elements
Slept in its hid embrasure.
The breeze so softly blew it made
No forest leaf to culver,
And the smoke of the random canonade
Rolled slowly from the river.
And now, where circling hills look down,
With cannon grimly planted,
Der listless camp and silent town,
The golden sunset slanted.
When ON the fervid air there came
A strain, now rich now TENDER
The music seemed itself flame
With days departing splendor.
A Federal band, which eve and morn
Played measures brave and nimble,
Had just struck up with flute and horn
And lively clash of cymbal.
Down focked the soldiers to the banks,
Till margined by its pebbles,
One wooded shore was blue with
"Yanks,"
And one was gray with 'Rebels."
Then all was still, and then the band,
With movements light and tricksy,
Made stream and forest, hill and strand,
Reverberate with Dixie"
The conscious stream, with FURNISHED
glow,
Went proudly DER its pebbles,
But thrilled throughout its deepest flow,
With yelling of the Rebels.
Again pause, and then again
The trumpets pealed sonorous,
And Yankee Doodle was the strain
To which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripple shoreward flew
To kiss the shining pebbles
Loud shrieked the swarming Boys in
Blue
Defiance to the Rebels.
Aud yet once more Jne DugIes sang
Above the stormy riot
No shout upon the evening rang
There reigned holy quiet.
The sad, low stream its noiseless tread
Poured DER the glistening pebbles
And silent now the Yankees stood,
And silent stood the Rebels.
No unresponsive soul had heard
That plaintive notes appealing,
So deeply Home, Sweet Home, had
stirred
The hidden founts of feeling.
Or blue or gray, the soldier sees,
AS by the wand of fairy,
The cottage meath the live oak trees,
The cabin by the prairie.
Or cold or warm, his native skies
Bend in their beauty DER him;
Seen through the tear-mist in his ewes,
His loved ones stand before him.
AS fades the iris after rain
In Aprirs fearful weather,
The vision vanished as the strain
And daylight died together.
But memory, walked by music's art,
Expressed in simplest numbers,
Subdued the sternest Yankees heart,
Made light the Rebels slumbers.
And fair, the form of music shines,
That bright, celestial creature,
Who, still mid wars embattled lines,
Gave this one touch of Nature.

that whom peace came il found the South
eni people possessing little mean, for the
prosecution of industry, beyond the phys

circumstances, that the great industrial

from these causes. ought not 10 discourage
capitalists from emigrating 10 that see

there is another cause for the suffering

out of tho rebellion Successful industry
requires certain proportion To exist be.

tho most fertile region on earth, and sur.
rounded by the most abundant natural
resources, he would find it p work OF
