that day the prisoners were required to cast
lots for the selection of two Captains, who were
to be executed. Capt Sawyer, of New Jersey,
and Finn, of Indiana were the fated men, who
were notified to prepare for death as they were
taken to the dungeon below Added 80 the
gloom cast over the brave band of men in that
dismal place, the Richmond newspapers Of that
day came TO the prison with flaming headlines
Gen. Meade defeated at Gettysburg with a
loss of 10000 prisoners! His army fleeing to
the mountains
But few can imagine what this meant. Only
( those who have suffered such torture can under
stand 1t. But more terrible was the announce
ment in the same paper: Grant repulsed at
llck5burg! The siege raised The campaign
closed n disaster F." That was dark day. Hope
sank in all hearts. The place was SILENT aud a
pail deeper and darker than death had settled
upon it. But faith realizes that At evening
time it shall be light" So To these men there
came a sudden revelation. An old and trusty
servant who helped to police the prison, upon the
pretenseO movingsomo vessels late in the even
ing came into the prison. Concealed beneath
his coat was an evening Richmond paper upon
which the ink was scarcely dry. Like an
electric flash 500 men in that prison were in
one place: one man to read, 199 to listen, while
the old col0red man, in sp2sms of JOY, rolled
upon the floor Adjt Knaggs read Grant
has captured Yicksburg with $1,000 prisoners
Meade has defeated Lee at Gettysburg 1900
killed and wounded
A moment of silence and then, with Chap.
AlcCabe leading, 500 voices sang as men never
sang before:
Nine eyes have seen the glory Of the
Coming of the Lord;
he IS trampling out the vintage where
The grapes of wrath is stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning Of
His terrible swift sword,
Ills truth IS marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat;
lie Is sitting out the hearts Of men
Before his judgment seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him,
BE jubilant my feet;
our God IS marching on
In the beauty Of the lilies Christ
Was born across the sea,
With glory in his bosom that
JranStgureS you and me;
AS he died to make men holy,
Let us die to make men free,
While God IS marching on.
The gentle zophyrs of evening that bore away
the last echoes of that song, bore also the gloom
of that dark day, and the foul air of that prison
was made sweet and pure as the fragrant breath
of the mountains. Julia Ward Howes Battle
Hymn Of the Republic may be sung by many
millions of voices in coming years, but that
singing on the banks Of the James on that Sum
mer evening was realization of Adelaide
PrOctOr's lines; for it
Flooded the crimson twilight
Like the close of an angels psalm,
And it lay on their feveFed spirits
With the touch of an infinite calm.
And it quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife
II seemed the harmonious echo
From out disCOrdant life.
II linked all perplexed meanings
Into one of perfect peace,
And trcmbled away in silence
As if it were loath TO cease.

Oh how bad ! feel,
Down in Charleston. South Carlina,
Praying for a good square meal.

Of the war songs, Rally Round the Flag,
Boys" was one Of the most sOul-cheering. |
have seen the struggling columns Of army,
tootsore aud weary, very many times closed up
in solid phalanZ, with every man in ranks,
marching TO the tune of this enthusiastic song.
WEAKNESS would disappear, sore feet were for
cotton, while companies, regiments and bril-
gades all would join in one glad chorus OF this
song.
A Confederate soldier pays this tribute to
the song and to those who sang it: " l shall
never forget the first time l heard Rally
Round the Flag, Boys. Twas a disagreeable
night during the seven days fight before
Richmond in 1862 / was on picket, when Just
before tattoo some fellow on the Yankee side
struck up that song, and others Joined in the
chorus until it seemed to me the whole Yankee
army was singing. | said to my companion
who was with me, What are those fellows made
Off Here we have beaten them in battle every
day for six days, and now on the eve of the
seventh hear them sing Rally Round the Flag
From that moment l felt it would be impossi-
BILE to conqucrsuch men with such songs This
song was written by Geo. f. Root, Of Chicago.
No song of the war of 1863 is SO securely
enthroned in every part OF the Union as
Marching Through Georgia" The veterans
sing it with more of the real enthusiasm, which
the spirit of the war song awakens, at the
banquet, on the march, around the campfire
yea, wherever men congregate now, both Union
and Confederate, this song is sung 1t was
written by Henry G. Work
oteadman was more of prophet than he sup
posed, when in 1859, during the time John
Brown was awaiting execution, he wrote
Ossaw0tamie Brown" Some of you remember
how it runs and how we sang it IN the early
part of the war;
