The following pleasant paragraph is
from the Western Star, published at
Coldwater. 1t shows that peace and
harmony exist in Comanche county:
The hell-hounds at Nescutunga never
rest. We understand they are now cir
culating a petition among their motley
crew" to place before Gov. Martin,
charging the census taker, Mr.. Taylor,
with ''partiality," simply because Cold
water got one-third more votes for the
county seat than Nescutunga and Avilla
both put together. They are for any
thing to heat Coldwater, and It doesn't
make any difference how low they have
to stoop 10 accomplish their ends. The
people of Nescutunga that are doing
this dirty work are not fools enough to
think that Nescutunga would ever stand
a ghost Of show to get the county-seat
at their little hamlet. They know that
when Coldwater gets the county seat it
will kill their skinny little town as dead
as a mackerel-and that's what hurts. -

The IrrepreSsible Sparrow.

So the sparrow is doomed in Amer
lea! Says Professor RidgWay. Our
eXasperattd cousins are to rise in
force and drive the impudent invader
from their shores. All | can say is,
let them try. Adverse resolutions in
ornithological societies may kill pro-
fessors, but the sparrOws, now that
they have got footing, will go on
adding to their number forever and
ever. AS for gunpowder, poison, eats
and traps, they flourish on them.
That other yagabond, the street Arab,
never sees the poor sparrow without
lifting stone, yet the sparrows could
eclipse the lights of London if they
gathered in a covey. When the
farmer fires his blunderbuss at one,
the result is only to startle into life
halfa hundred more. A bogie in
the potato-fieId may send the crows
in alarm to new pastures, but the
sparrow builds his nest out of it,.
Learned professors, with their theo-
ries of determination, talk as it the
Bohemian of birds were some darl-
ing of society, and had not had to
thieve for an honest living since the
days when professors were not,-N.

NUMBER 10.
The Seven Days Fight.

- ~FoANS'
From Gen. Longstreet's cOntribus
ton to The Century War Series, in the
July number, we quote the follow
ing;
1.-The Federals withdrew after the
battle and the next day 1 moved ON
around by the route which it was pro.
posed we should take the day before.
l followed the enemy to Harrison's
Landing, and jackson went down by
another route in advance of Lee. As
soon as we reached the front of the
Federal position we put out our Shir-
mish lines, and l ordered an advance,
intending to make another attack,
but revoked it on Jackson urging me
to wait until the arrival of Gen, Lee.
Very soon Gen. Lee came, and after
carefully considering the position of
the enemy and their gunboats on the
James, decided it would be better to
forego any further operations. Our
SklrmiSh lines were withdrawn, we
ordered our troops back to their old
lines around Richmond, and Il month
later McClrIlans army was with
drawn to the North.
1.-The seven days. fighting. although
a decided Confederate victory, was a
succession of mishaps. If Jackson
had arrived on the 26th-the day of
his own selectiOn-the Federals would
have been driven back from Mechan-
lcSYille With0utia battle. His delay
there, caused by distractions placed
in his road by the enemy, was the
first mishap. He was too late in en-
tering the fight at Ganes's Mill, and
the destruction of Grapevine bridge
kept him from reaching Frayser's
Farm until the day after that battle.
If he had been there, we might haYe
destroyed or captured McClellan's
army. Huger was in position for the
battle of Frayser'5 Farm, and after
his batteries had misled me into OPEN
ing the fight he subsided. Holmes
and Magruder, who were on the New
Market road to attack Federals as
they passed that way, failed to do so.
"Gen. McClellan's retreat was suc-
cessfully managed therefore we must
give it credit for being well manag-
ed. He had 10000 men, and insist
ed to the authorities at Washington
that Lee had 100000. In fact, Lee
had only 10000. Gen. McClelan's
plan to take Richmond by siege
was wise enough, and it would have
been a success if the Confederates had
consented to such program. In
spite of McClellan's excellent plans,
Gen. Lee, with a force inferior in
numbers, completely routed him, and
While suffering less than McClel-
Ian, captured over 10000 of his men.
Gen. Lees plans in the seven days
fight were excellent, but were poorly
executed. Gen. Mcclellan was very
accomplished soldier and very able
engineer, but hardly equal to the po-
sition as a military chieftain. He or
ganized the Army of the Potomac
cleverly, but did not handle it skill
fully when in actual battle. Still
doubt if his retreat could have been
better handled, though the rear of
his army should have been more pos.
itively either in his own hands or in
the hands of Summer. HeintzIeman
crossed the White Oak Swamp pre-
maturely and left the rear of Nc
CleIan's army exposed. which " ould
have been fatal had Jackson come up
and taken part in Magruder's affair
of the Goth near Savage's Station"

COME TO ME, DEAREST


Come to me, dearest I'm lonely without thee
Daytime and nighttime I'm thinking about
thee;
Nighttime and daytime in dreams / behold
thee;
Unwelcome the waking which ceases to fold
thee.
Come to me, darling, my sorrows to tighten,
Come in thy beauty to bless and to brighteni
Come in thy womanhood, meekly and lowlyi
Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy.
Swallows will fit round the desolate ruin,
Telling of Spring and its joyous renewing;
And thoughts Of thy love and its manifold
treasure
Are circling my heart with promise Of pleas
ure.
o Spring of my spirit o May OF my bosom
Shine out on my soul till it burgeon and bios
som.
The waste Of my life has a rose-root within it,
And thy fondness alone to the sunshine can
win it.
Figure that moves like song through the
even;
Features lit up by a reflex Of heaven;
Eyes like the skies of poor Erin our mother,
Where the shadows and sunshine are chasing
each other;
Smiles coming seldom, but childlike and
simple,
Planting in each rosy cheek a sweet dimple.
Oh thanks to the Saviour, that even thy
seeming
Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming
You have been glad when you knew was glad
den'd;
Dear, are you sad now to hear am sadden'd
Our hearts ever answer in tune and in time,
love,
As octave to octave, and rhyme unto rhyme,
love.
1 cannot weep but your tears will be flowing
You cannot smile but my cheeks will be glow
ing;
1 would not die without you at my side, love-
You will not linger when shall have died,
love.
Come to me, dear, ere die of my sorrow;
Rise on my gloom like the sun of tomorrow;
Strong, swift and fond as the words which
speak, love,
With a song on your lip, and smile on your
cheek, love.
Come, for my heart in your absence is weary
Haste, for my spirit is sicken'd and dreary;
Come to the arms which alone should caress
thee;
Come to the heart which is throbbing to press
thee. JOSEPH BRENNAN.
