The country would go
To the vortex of woe,
With no chance of new resurrection.
Then throw out your banners, etc.
Then rouse, boys, and rally
From hilltop and valley,
Your country to save from confusion,
While with banners unfurled,
Well show the whole world
Our respect for our loved Constitution.
Then throw out your banners, etc.
Then hip, hip, hurrah!
For good order and law
With peace and good will through the nation;
Let Radicals rant
About Colfax and Grant,
But our SEYMoUR's the country's salvation.

TO all honorobly discharged Officers and
Soldiers of the 36tA Regiment of Ohio
Volunteer Intantry-CoMRADEs: In ac-
cordance with the expressed desire Of large
number of those who formerly, composed the
36th Regiment, for reunion of the same at
an early day, and in furtherance Of my own
wishes in the matter, / call upon you to meet
at Marietta, on Thursday, the 18th day of
September, next, that we may renew the
friendships formed, and freshsn our memo
ries of the scenes through which We passed,
in its eventful and honorable history. Let
us come together, not as officers and soldiers,
but as friends, made 80 by dangers braved
and hardships endured together for four
years, in q common cause. It is desirable
that all the companies of the regiment shall
be largely represented, and hope that none
will remain away without good excuse. Three
years have passed since our separation. and
/ have no doubt that the opportunity now
given for renewing Of our old associations
will be gladly embraced.
Let each one bring with him such papers,
muster-rolls, and other mementoes in his
possession, as would be of interest at the
meeting; and hope that al the information
possible will be collected of members o. the
regiment who cannot be present on the oc-
casion; and that brief biographical sketches
will be prepared. both Of those who died Of
disease or we're killed in the service, and Of
those deceased since their discharge.
Those who intend to be present at the meet.
ing, will please signify such intention by
letter, addressed to Capt. B. L, Nye, Marietta,
Ohio, giving name, rank and company. II
this information could be given in company
rolls forwarded from the several counties, II
would be desirable.
All who may see this call, are requested to
give 1t as wide circulation as possible, in
the localities where the companies were or
ganized, and especially to notify those who
are at points where its publication would not
be likely to reach them.

vice of this Government costs SIC, 900, 900
per year more than that Of England. The
cost Of the War Department, as stated by
Radical authorities, was $l23, ,Q0o, 600 last

$74, 600, 600, and that, too, with force
nearly four times as large as ours. In
round numbers our army is composed Of
