WE are indebted to some friend for a
pamphlet copy of the "History of the
riot at Colfax, Grant parish, Louisiana,
April 13, 1878, with brief sketch OF
the trial of the Grant parish prisoners
in the circuit court of the United
States, prepared and published by the
committee of Seventy"

TO HOODS TEXAS BRIGADE.

During the celebration OF the third annual
reunion of Hoods Texas brigade, which took
place in Galveston on the seventh instant
the following poem was read:
wake my slumbering harp again,
sweep once more its silent strings;
trembling touch the olden strain,
Whose every note somememnrN brings
1t led to battle once your blades
Triumphant drew, Il trumpet tone,
To yict'ry once your bold brigadeS
Where banners waved and rifles shone.
But hnshed by grefs dare moi name,
The song hath slept thro lonesome years
With thai neglected oriilamme,
whose burning stars were quenched IN
And If its ightness all is fled,
If broken chords alloy the strain,
Ills but because the hopes are dead,
That gave II strength and sweetness then.
Ye are Come 10 the mus Of Heroes
A ring of old music is in the air,
That thrills like a thrill Of the days gone by,
With Its martial burden We DO ana We
Dare"
And the heart, as of old, beasts fast, beats
high.
There are flags on the walls who's" dark blood
Tell mighty tales of the battle rout-
OF the columns flying along the lanes
of Honor and Duty-of Hope and Doubt.
There are voices mingling that once rangout
High and clear thrO' the battle din,
Sending the brave, WIN u CLARION Sliout,
To where danger with death was closing In;
There are sears of hundred battles, won
And lost, on the faces gathered here,
And the records of the daring deed that We're
done
On a hundred fields in the days that were! 1!
But, room forthe Dead! Make room forhe DedH
There are phantom forms that come crowd
ing in
With rifle in hand and sword at knee,
A silent army, whose battles are won
Grand and fearless-that followed Lee!
There blazes the burning orifiamme
In the hand that bore ii at Malvern Hin,
And here is the group that dealt such shame
To the flying foe ut GaineS's Mill!
All here! From the blue eyed boy who went
In II blaze of glory Seven Pines,
To the bearded man whose blood was spent
Unknown and unmatched in the picket
And a ring of the old music is in the air
That thrills like thrill OF the days gone
With the martial burden, 1--WE Do and We
Dare!"
And the heart, as of old, beats fast, beats
high!
Ye are come to the halls of heroes!
Comrades, both living and dead, arise
And pledge me in silence that Wonderful
Past,
With its bloody fields and its gloomy skies,
And its hopes sOwn thick on the battle
blast;
For its spirit is here in our midst to-day,
B:eaking and blessing the bread Oh Our
pain. ,
Surely the stone shall he rolled away
And that past shall rise and rejoice again
