It is stated from Vienna that in diplomatic

Turkey and Greece is certain, and that it will
end in the dissolution of Turkey. From Ber-

WINGED that without the employment of armed
force no action Of the united Powers will avail
anything against the passive resistance Of
Turkey. The RepubtiqtH Frdncaise Of Paris on

the Powers would be equivalent to . dissolution

THE ENEMY Is ADVANCING,

Those of our readers who have not
forgotten that period in their lives,
when their home was in the biyouac
or the tented field, will remember how
demoralizing were The effects of rest
and inaCtiOn. 1t was at those mo-
ments that the selfish instincts of man
were uppcrmost. 1t was the hour for
dcbauch and contention; the noble
promptinSs of patriotism and loyalty
to the flag, love Of country too, gave
way to dcbasinS chickering's and sor-
did ambition.
Brave men stopped to wrong their
comrades, that they might outstrip
them by cunning, and unfair methods
to gain superior rank and distinction.
Fierce anmosities arose Oh I'LL sides,
and the camp was far from being the
quiet resting place Of the soldier.
The scene changed when the news
would come that the enemy WAS ad-
vancing and the order to prepare to
march at moments notice war issued.
No sooner was the brigade on the road
to the front, than by u tlcit under
standing, the evil influences of the
camp were stillcd. The nearer TO the
enemy, the more completely were tic
animosities hushed.
The inspiriting command Of the Of
ticcrs to "closc up" "as the hoarsc voice
Of cannon and the rattle of musketly
were heard, rendered the step more
elcstic. The manly honor and duty
to country were the cnnobling feelings
uppcrmost in every true soul.
Hark! to the enthusiastic cheering
of the troops at the rear Of The column,
1t is the beloved, the heroic "Stonc-
wall" who comes to lead the army
corps to brilliant victory.
Where is the man who doubts that
Il grand exploit that will forever live
in the brightest pages of history
awaits us soon?
Who has forgotten Port Republic,
Cross Keys, Winchester and Cold
Harbor? Hurra, boys, hurra! There
he is! And thousand throats greet
The chieftain q thousand hearts arc

riticing devotion.
