SHASTA CnJS1Y.-We give below the
returns sf the election iu this county as far
rs heard from It the hour Of going to press
Tic vote is Fighter than was anticipated
from the number of names on the Great
Register, but this fact partly arises from
there being many names there uncar cclled,
OF men who have left the cou, ty and neg
lected TO take certificates or send for them.
There was also feeling on the part of the
Democrats that they had really no interest
IN the rcsui' (Which, indeed was already a
forosnnc conelusion), which kept some Of
that party from going 20 the polls The
fact that tiekess the O'Conor, or Straig ht
remoe.etr stripe were in circulation,
caused some votes to be poled which 9th !.
crwise would not have been. Below we

MARCH OF THE DEATnLEss DEAD,

Gather the sacred dust
OF warriors tried and true,
Who bore the flag Of our Nations trust,
And fell in the cause, though lost, still Just,
And died for me and you.
Gather them one and ALI
From the Private To the Chief
Come they from howell or priueeIy hal;
They fell Tor US, and for then should fall
The tears Of q nation grief. .------..-
Gather the corpses sfrewu
Ger many n hattle-piain
From many grave that lies -,
without .r fns and wi.hSs5
We care not whence they came,
Dear in their iifeIess clay
Whether unkno wn, or known, to fame
Their cause and country still the same
They died-and wore the Grey
Wherever the brave have died,
They should not rest apart;
Living they struggled side BY side
Why should the hand Of Death divide
A single heart from heart?
Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever il NAV rest;
Just as thcy marched 10 the bloody fray
Just as they fell on the ba,,lt-,iay,
Bury them breast 10 breast
The foeman need not dread
I his gathering Of the brave;
Without sw ord or flag, and with soundless tread
We muster once more our deathless dead,
Gut Of each lonely grave.
The fOcman need not frown:
They are Al! powerless now
We gather them here and we Law them down,
And tears and prayers are the only crown
We bring to wrcaihe each brow
And the dead thus meet the dead
While the living DER them weep:
And The men whom Lee and Stoncwa,i led
And Tie hear. that once together bed,
Together still shall sleep.
