In Georgia State in Rebellion, now stands,
Mid pestilential air and swampy lands,
A prison-plaee more 1T for Southern dogs
Who raised Its lofty walls OF pine-wood logs
A swamp lies in the center, deep and wide.
Rel Vyeeu two hills which slope on either side:
No house or she'd is seen within this pen,
Wherein are thrust some thirty thousand men.
And 10 this dismal pen meath heavens blue sky,
OF hope deprived, are left to starye and die
The aged brave, the youth of tender years,
The MANNED, the blind the noble yolunieersi
IT'S March-that month so windy and so cold,
Whose hoary frosts regard not young nor old;
1t blights the sad, the jester in his mirth,
Before his time, eonslgns to Mother Earth.
Ere yet the lease of life is half run out
They die with cold or hunger on the route;
OF money robbed, of blankets and great-cCatS-
The rebel, vulture-like, in triumph gloats
If to the hospital one should resort,
He there would see his comrades lives cut short,
And some now making of the ground their bed,
Who viii next day be numbered with the dead.
Look on yon group, ali huddled by the fire.
In rags and shoeless! What shall them inspire?
See lightnings fash and bark the thunders roar,
While from the clouds above the rain doth pour.
Needless they sit, though closer still they lie,
In vain attempt to keep their bodies dry;
The tir1e Is midnight ana the storm has ceased
From earthly cares few more released
The hospital awaits the newly dead,
AT early morn they're laid in their last bed;
Alas no wife aor young ones there to weep
To mourn for them where their beloved sleep!
IT'S sad and awful thus to contemplate
The horrors of these heroes wretched fate;
The bitter cup of grief well-nigh o'erhows-
Reveal the authors of these cruel woes!
Say, who should bear the brunt of all this i'll?
Is it jeff Davis or the Devils will?
Or shall the weight of it be laid upon
The Government itself at Washington?
All Time must tell, and Time must bring to all
The noble and the brave who, at the call
OF country rushed its very life TO save,
And found in Georgia's sands naneless grave.

And keep courage up in region damned;
Upon our lips, while with grim Death we cope,

HooKER's ARMY.

Ia the midst Of our depressions it was not
deemed possible 10 cut out and cut down our
reduced brigades and regiments. IL might
have destroyed our existing morale. And
think General Hooker. like Mcclellan enjoyed
maneuvering several independent bodies At
any rate, he had the awkward number of eight
small corps, besides his artillery. John +.
Reynolds commanded the lst. Hancock the I'd.
Sickies the Sd, Meade the 9Th, Sedgwick the
9Th, Howard the 18th, Slocum the 18th. and
Pleasonton the cavalry; while Hunt had gen
eral charge Of the artillery. We had, then. in
May, 1853, an average Of about ii 900 infantry
in each corps-some had more and some less
IN the neighborhood OF 800 cavalry ready for
the field, and 5000 artillery with 3S7 guns
making mp an effective force Of about ninety
thousand Of all arms Behold, then, the two
armies thus organized on opposite sides Of the
Rappahann0ck
Rnmors had reached us soon after our defeat
that the Confederate authorities proposed an.
other effort 10 turn our flank similar TO that OF
the year before which ended in the battle Of
Antietam; 3 gentleman from Philadelphia
visiting the sick and wounded prisoners who
were in our hands had come to that conclusion.

STUART DRIVEN BACK.

At this time Davis rushed On and came near
capturing several Of Stuart's batteries. Al
though completely surprised, Jones (fortu-
nately for HIM was enabled, by the cover of a
thick wood which delayed the march of the
sth New York, 10 mount his men in great
haste and rush 70 the conflict For few min
utes there was a fearful contest between Davis
head Of column and Jones brigade the
organizations on both sides being in consider
able disorder, and the men using their pistols
and sabers. Numbers, however, prevailed, and
! the Sth New York was driven back in confu-
sion. While General Davis was working with
all his might 10 rally the retiring regiment, he
received severe wound, which caused his
death. But in few moments the tables were
turned, when the next regiment Colonel
/ Farnsworth's 9Th lllinois-inade a vigorous
charge drove back Jones' brigade, and sue
ceeded in carrying of a valuable part of the
enemy's baggage, which, by good fortune,
contained copy OF General Lees plan of cam
paign.
The conflict was renewed by the use of the
Confederate artillery, which after its narrow
escape had hurried to favorable position and
opened FIRE. Little by little Buford's entire
division, supported by Ames infantry, was de-
pl0yed and worked slowly forward. Buford's
| I'd brigade was just outfanking the force in lis
front, when Stuart came on from Fleetwood
| with part of his command. AS soon as the
/ swiftest horses had carried the news of Pleas

60 throw off the woke of Egyptian bondage. A

an assurance that they were no longer to be

This is not the view OF The Mahdi's campaign
and progress which has been generally received.
General Stone in his lecture described the SEN
sation caused at Cairo when it was announced
that Mohammed Ahmed emerging from his
cave in the Island of Aboo. proclaimed bimselt to
be the Mahdi. He recollnted the various stages
of the growth of this Arabian crusade, and pre-
dicted that if the Mahdi were suffered to rule
the Soudan undisturbed he would soon be
reigning in Mecca as a rival Caliph to the Sui
TAM and that the Mussulnans of Persia and
India, as well as the Arabs of Syria and the
African deserts would be in arms against Chris

who has recently been empoyeda the khedives

Gordon partially confirms this Judgment when
he admits that the Arab tribes on both sides OF

L CCNSJRJ TETO

Governor Cleveland has vetoed bill author
ling board of supervisors of one OF the
counties to issue bonds in payment OF ponds
shortly to fall due. In doing so he states that
he was induced to approve similar bill last
year on the understanding that peculiar and eX-
ceDtional reasons existed which made the enact
ment of a special law proper He adds that MS
chief objection TO the present bill is based upon
the fact that if the postponement OF the pay
ment of the bonded Indebtedness of county
is deemed proper it can be accomplished under
the general law which was passed in 1878.
We are glad to see the Governor take this
stand against special legislation thus early In
the session. 1t is an evil, as TIE TRIBUNE
lately pointed ont, which the passage of con-
stitutiOnal amendment, aimed at it, has by no
means suppressed. Too large a proportion OF
the constituents Of our lawmakers seem TO
labor under the impression chat there Is special
virtue in a special act, and hence they are not
content with availing themselves OF general
laws. Every such veto tendstO remove such an
impression. Since the constitutional amend
ment referred to went into effect the laws relat-
ing to boards of supervisors have been objected
to a thorough overhauling and revision, in order
TO obyiate the necessity Of just sucl laws as the
one that is now vetoed. The Constitution pro-
vides that the Legislature shall pass general
lawsin all cases which in its judgment may be
provided for by general laws. 1t has provided
general law in relation to the issue OF county
bonds.
There are many able and experienced Sen
ators ana Assemblymen in the present Legisla
ture. We trust they will keep sharp lookout
for these local or special bills. An unnecessary
law is in the nature of a nuisance.
