THE MUSTER ROLL.


Take down the faded Muster Roll.
With stirring heart AID kindiug eve,
Read there inscribed on Glory's scroll
The names that cannot die.
With hearts that burned the foe to meet
Beneath our proad flags folds
While vengeance called thro drums quick bea
Were those bright names enrolled.
They grasped their arms at country's call,
Their stern hearts would not yield,
Resolved to win, or noDly fail
With the slain, on-glory's field.
Through pelting rains and summers heat,
With nights that knew not rest or sleep,
Beneath stern winters snow and sleet-
They toiled-fer what we reap.
Der slaughtered, CORY heaps of dead,
Through ranks of glistening steel,
Where'er that starry banner led,
They rushed-dedtJa btOtcs to deal.
Or through the hours of CHASTITY day
Lay stretched on blood-stained ground,
While the tortured life slow ebbed away,
Through pain of the gaping wound
Bring fowerets fair for the soldiers grave,
They will gently give themselves to death,
TO garland the shrine of our hOnored dead
They will yield their sweetest breath.
Then strew bright flowers with loving hand
Oer patriots true and brave,
Who perished to save their native land,
And sleep in a Eameless grave.
Though proudly writ on roll of fame
By NctOry's hand throughout the world,
Our tears fall fast, when in their name,
And Glory's name, our flags unfurled.
Then gather wild flowers from messy dell,
And lay on the dauntless breast;
From the crowded mart bring immOrtelle
To crown the soldiers rest.
o gather the fairest flowers that bloom,
And tearfulIy weave each hallowed leaf
In sacred wreath for the soldiers tomb,
For il tells OF a Nations grief
Above their rest the clouds of Heaven,
White and red, DER field of blue,
Wave like banners and ut even,
one by one, the stars shine through.
Now fold away that Muster Roll
Inscribed with names there proudly traced,
IT'S now precious blood stained scroll
For Death those names erased.
Their reYeille was struck on high,
And angels called the names erased
Those deathless names, that cannot die
With Triumph on their Roll they placed

multiplied numbers of citizens of this
type, who have the love of country in
full ocean swell in their souls, ever
breaking grandly like a sea of glory
upon the shore of the inner being
Such are the citizens who can stand in
Legislatures halls, or who. when at
home, gladden. all hearts with whom
they associate by their warm sympathy,
or who can take their places in the front
rank Of the army to deal death blows
to the enemy of their beloved country.
No other country has so many true
men, for the genius of their govern
ment does not make them. Why then
not strew the sweetest flowers upon the
graves of such noble men, who died IN
the defense of the best government on
earth?
''How sleep the brave, who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blest;
When Spring. with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hall0wed mould,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod,
Than fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung,
There honor comes, pilgrim grey,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay,
And freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell weeping hermit there"
Col. TURLEY was called up, but de-
clined to make speech.

Beneath the summer sky,
How peacefully they lie
At rest from wars;
Oh sacred hold the grave
Of each devoted brave,
Who poured his blood to save
The Stripes and Stars.
Their marches now are o'er,
They WELD the sword no more
To smite our foes;
No sound of hostile drum
To their low tents may come,
Or break the silence dumb
Of their repose.
But grateful throngs shall bring
Each year their offering
OF grief and love;
Bright garlands should be spread,
And tribute teardrops shed
For patriot heroes dead,
Their tsmbs above.
To Thee, oh Lord, our God,
Up from this holy sod
Our voices rise;
Here freedoms cause maintain,
For which our braves were slain,
Forbid our making vain
Their sacrifice.

While the choir were singing, the
ceremony of decorating the graves
of the devoted and noble dead was
performed. This was done by 81
young ladies dressed in white, who
passed near each grave, and in pass
ing dropped thereon their floral Of
ferings, a holy tribute to a noble
dead. 1t was a solemn and impress
sive sight, causing the emotions OF
the heart to swell up to unqtterable
fnllness, except as it was expressed
by the silent and unbidden tear.
Gather we flowers for our patriot dead,
The field of our Union braves;
Softly aud slowly we tread,
Keeping time from foot to head,
Marching among their graves.
Bend Ger them, from the sentried sky,
o, flag for which they fell
Our flowers shall perish, where they lie,
But never shall our heroes die
From the land they loved SO well!

commemoration Day.
HoAORs TO THE EDEAuoF THEREPuBLlc,
SLOW Sleep the brave who sink to rest
By all their country's wishes blest-"

Saturday was glorious day. 1t
was grand ovation-worthy and de-
served-allke to those who have died,
and those who have survived-a
memorial to the lofty qualities and
noble courage of the dead, and a
promise of a like devotion to the
living. As oft as the years roll
around may this day be thus remem-
bered and commemorated-a fitting
memorial of those noble ones who
suffered and died that the nation
might live. For no people ever did,
or ever will accomplish anything
worth remembrance, the memory OF
whose patriotic dead are notpreserved
with reverential sacredness, and their
graves adorned with lovingness.
The day was beautiful, though
warm. At an early hour the friends
of the soldiers, and the soldiers
themselves, began to be astir--came
pouring into town from every direc-
tion-by river and by land-until, at
ten O'Clock, the hour appointed
for forming the procession, our
streets were alive with people.

FELLOW CIrIzENs:-It is mark of
enlightened policy, that we have
this day set aside for showing our
respect to the noble dead who gave
up their lives for that peace and
country which we count to day as
our richest blessings. To many here
it is adsyof sad and strange recollec-
tions. for the resting place of those
who stood side by side withyou in the
deadly conflict, is strewn with earth's
richest fragrance, as an evidence
that their noble deeds and love of
country, are not forgotten. How
many hands will strew flowers that
have been touched with q kiss while
the mind runs back to the day when
that loved one bade good bye to
home. end that cluster of dear
friends, to peril sill for his country.
These heroic dead offered up their
lives that we might enjoy ours
Their sacrifice was q willing one.

The Democrats in Congress on the Cuban
Resolution.


The vote in the House of Representatives on
the Cuban resolution on Saturday last was nine
ty-eight to twenty four, showing the absence
of large number of members in advance of
the final adjournment Of the session. Those
voting in the negative were mostly democrats,
but there was fair proportion of democrats
in the majority, including Mr.. Brooks, Of New
York, who, by the way, appears to have been
the only New York democrat left in the House.
The vote of Mr.. Brooks and the other demo-
cratic members in the affirmative is somewhat
remarkable in view of the sentiments of the
resolution. 1t says that the people Of the
United States sympathize with the people of
Cuba ''in their patriotic efforts to secure their
independence and establish a republican form
of government, guaranteeing the personal lib
erty and equal political rights Of all the
people, &c. This means the equal political
rights Of niggers, and in facing this music Mr..
Brooks seems to have cast away all his objec-
tions politically to the fat nose, thick lips,
woolly hair and peculiar shinbone of the mig
ger. Well, well, as poor Ophela says, ''we
know what we are, but we don't know what we
may be-" ''Walk in, Sambo," says Mr..
Brooks

WHAT WILL SPAIN Do?-The resolution on
Cuba adopted by the House Of Representa-
tives on Saturday last has doubtless ere this
been laid before the members of the Spanish
Cortes at Madrid. What will they do about
IL? 1t will certainly give them a pretty clear
understanding of the frailty of their tenure Of
Office on the ''ever faithful island :" but Span
ish pride and Spanish folly are hard to over
come. Otherwise they would propose the
sale Of Cuba to the United States, cheap for
cash. As it is, the present Spanish govern
ment, having evidently no great desire to cul-
tivate the special protection Of Louis Napo-
leon, will probably look to England for assist
ance, and how far England or her capitalists
may be disposed to go in advancing funds for
any political purpose opposed TO the interests
Of the United States was illustrated In that
famous rebel cotton loan. In any event, begin
ing with the Spanish Cortes, we have no doubt
that this Cuban resolution from the American
Congress will make sensation from Spaip to
England.

GRATITUDE TO OLD SoLDIERs.-The Louis
vile CoUrier-JourndI goes out Of its way
10 PROFOUND the following interrogatories -
''why is il that the President appoints such
multitude of officials who served Immediately
around him in the army2 Why is II that nearly
all Of the army officers who were with him cry
aloud for place and so many of them get IL
Didn't they receive pay for their work in dol
lars and cents before they were discharged" :"
Suppose they did and are now unfit for other
civil employment, could the public Offices be
better disposed of than by giving them to
old soldiers? The only difficulty Is that there
are not Offices enough for all who have fought,
bled and almost died for their country. Hence
the President no doubt finds no little trouble
in making his selections.

more Bismarck snubbing. He knows well the
character of the people whom he governs. He
knows that no further compromise would be
tolerated, and now and on this great question
he and his people are of one mind.
The popularity Of the present situation is
that there is no immediate Ineligible cause of
war. 1t is difficult to believe that Napoleon,
for the sake Of any uncertain gain that
might result, for the mere sake of flattering
French vanity, would rush into open hostili
ties without some satisfactory reason. 1t might
be dangerous to bring down upon his head the
indignation of Europe; and we may feel well
assured he will rnn no such risk. Whence,
then, is cause of war likely to emerge9 There
is the Belgian difficulty, for the settlement of
which mixed commission has been appointed.
How this commission will decide we know not.
1t is difficult to believe that the Belgian repre-
sentatives will be plucky enough to sepa-
rate the interests of Belgium from those
of France. But it is not impossible.
1t is the object of the commission
"to give mutual proof of friendship and con-
fdence." Its result will be "to develop the
commercial and Industrial relations of the two
countries" and hence it will "examine the
divers industrial questions arising from the
existing relations and from the treaties re-
Gently proposed for the cession and working of
the Belgian railways" 1t is not difficult to
see how casus 6eyH might be manufactured
by this commission. The Belgians, as we
have said, may not prove sufficiently yielding.
What then? Will Napoleon use force? If
he does, will not Bismarck initiate his exam
pie? A French army in Belgium, the English
people would force the government to inter-
fere. Supposing, however, that some treaty
is signed which meets the wishes without
wounding the pride of either party, it is not
conceivable that trouble will not grow
out of it. Whatever the treaty may be
France is certain to obtain such q
footing in Belgium as shall be found
ultimately to jeopardize the life of the
little kingdom. The Great Luxembourg
Railway in the hands of France, Prussia
would be more in danger of surprise than
ever. On the doings Of this commission
Bismarck will keep fixed jealous eye. 1t will
not be wonderful if before the commission has
concluded its labors the voice of Bismark is
heard, and if this Great Luxembourg Railway
becomes another great Luxemburg question
on the solution of which will depend the des
TIMES of Europe. This is one of the irons
which Napoleon has in the fire, and 1t will serve
his purpose as well as any other. Whether
war shall spring from this source, or whether
it shall not, it cannot much longer be delayed.
The cloud, already heavy and portentous,
grows denser and denser. Men begin to hold
their breath, for they feel that the dread ex-
plosion is at hand.

The White Pine Silver Mines-The Grea
silver Basin of the Continent.

The White Pine Silver Mines-The Great
silver Basin of the Continent.
The most extraordinary mineral discoveries
ever made in the United States are now re,
ported in Nevada. The famed mines Of
Potosi, in Bolivia, have found their match.
The White Pine silver district is creating as
much excitement as the original discoveries Of
gold in California. The yield Of the ores Is
something beyond comparison in the United
States, and ranges, by the ton, at from three
hundred dollars to three thousand dollars.
The average yield for 739 tons was $50l
per ton. This is probably from picked ores,
and it will doubtless be found that the average
of oil ores will not be the half of this amount.
The great productive centres which have
poured such enormous wealth into the lap OF
commerce have rarely given over sixty dollars
per ton. The Zacatecas district, which has
yielded nearly seven hundred million dollars,
averages about sixty dollars. The GUIANA
juato, Fresnillo and Santa Eulalia districts
of Mexico, the Comstock lode Of our own
territory, and the famous Potosi silver noun
tain OF Bolivia, all average under forty dollars
per ton. There are districts in Mexico-such
as the Batopilas and Guadalupe of chihuahua
and the Ramos mines of San Luis Potosi-
which give far larger average. in their ores
than the White Pine mines just discovered.
The Cocinera vein of Ramos yields large
quantities of ore of from three thousand dol
lars to four thousand dollars per ton,
and, for rarity among the mines
of extraordinary product per- ton, has paid
enormously for many years. We hope this
will be the case with the new mines Of Nevada.
Generally, however, these mines which yield
so largely in picked ores demand immense
expenditures for working The silver veins
are very thin and large amount of rock, with
MANY drifts and galleries, has to be worked
before the paying ore can be obtained. Thus
this class of mines, though apparently yielding
great results, gives very inferior profits.
The White Pine Ne,cs, speaking Of the new
discoveries, says that six thousand men are
already located upon Treasure Hill, at height
of nine thousand feet above the level OF the
sea. The highest levels of the Potosi minee
are about fifteen thousand feet above the sea,
OF Zacatecas ABOUT SIX tuousanu h'e n"nuiou.
Treasure Hill is an isolated group Of very
peculiar neurological formation, said to be
very different from any Of the famous districts
we have mentioned.
Our vast territory held between the eastern
ridge of the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra
Nevada range of the Pacific is gradually expos
ing Its riches to view. Twenty years ago IL
was pronounced by our explorers to be of less :
value than the mules they lost in traversing It.,
To-day it is yielding millions upon millions to
enrich the nation, and we believe may yet
realize the hopes mentioned In President
Grants inaugural with reference to the hidden
power TO pay our national debt Between
the mountain ranges just mentioned, and
bounded by Idaho on the north and Mexi.
