THE PoEM OF CHAPLAIN SWALLOW, of Post
No. 8, @. A., although reclted to smaller au-
dience than the beauty Of the poem would
warrant, was listened to with unalloyed
pleasure by the select few who were brave
enough TO face the impending storm and the
extreme heat preceding 1t. The poem was
worthy the grand theme, and as the stirring
scenes Of the pursuit of the rebel army were
so strikingly placed before those present who
participated In that glorious struggle, which
decided that the rebellion should be no more,
those present almost felt that they "fought
their battles DER again." In the stirring
words OF the poet and orator. II Il to be
hoped that the reverend gentleman will see
ft to present the beauties OF his poem TO a
larger audience at some future time, when
the oppressive heat will not deter many who
would have otherwise gladly attended last
evening.
