Old Glory, waving DER the Islands of the sea,
How proudly do we bow our heads to thee.
Old Glory, waving DER the very brightest

In brilliant colors, most respondent, grand.
Speak to all nations by thy pretty fold,
And give the wisest lesson ever told;
The lesson from the heart of love and
charity,
That noble truth that leads to liberty.
Wave proudly. grandly, DER our ship of state,
Life hope and peace all hutter round thy
Breathe quick or slow in each vicissitude
Most splendid emblem, banner Of the free,
Protect us now as In the days gone by,
Proving to mankind our staple liberty,
And to the world, our emblem ever bright,
That those to every people art a leading
light.
Urged on by Liberty the noble Pilgrims
Leaving behind them comfort, leisure. fame:
All these that human rights might be pre-
And from this purpose not father swerved,
Until Old Glory waves on island, land and

Assuring all mankind Of Liberty.
Comforting and protecting men OF every race
And changing clouds to sunshine by thy
grace.
And now that many noble son has died.
That truth shall make another lasting stride
This price for freedom, so broad, SO deep, SO

Must stand In blazing letters on our book of

And We now blessed with what the veterans

Must not forget the recent battles nobIy

And that Old Glory raised on lands far, far

Furled high by soldiers hands, is there to

retreat: the rebels rode without pause
through the guns and beyond, and rode
on for the Federal right wing again,

One Regimental Drum Corps.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the Or
ganization of regiments in the Union army
in 1861, each company was supposed TO
furnish one ffer and one drummer. If no
one volunteered as such, the Captain could,
and often did, detail person for that
duty In the organization of the regi-
mental non-corlmissioned staff Drum
Major and Fife-Major were appointed by
the Colonel making in all % musicians in
the Regimental Drum Corps. The Drum
Major and Fife-Major were each supposed
to be competent to give instruction upon
his own instrument. No arrangement was
made for bass drums, and l think they were
ruled out by the authorities. Col. John
S. McCalmont, of the 10th PENNSYLVANIA
Reserves, had been educated at West
Point, but had chosen law as a profession,
Court, from which position he was chosen
by Gov. Curtin to organize and command
the regiment. He had notions of his own
about martial music for active service, and
soon ordered the Drum-M jor to designate
five of the ffers, to be instructed in the
use of drum sticks, and made reGuisitiOn
for FIVE additional drums. At that time
the drum corps consisted of the Drum
Major, with his baton and 10 small drums,
the Fife-Major and six fifers, with their
instruments. 1t did not take the new
drummers long to learn the simple time
beats and when the newly-arranged drum
corps did get in its swapping accent it
was fun to see the recruits keep step to
the soul-stirriis strains. 1t soon became
noised abroad that Col. McCalmont had
the crack drum corps in the Potomac
Army.
Indeed, when Gen. Mcclellan held his
grand parade for President Lincoln to in
spect his magnificently organized army he
sent especial request for Col. McCalmont's
drum corps to assist in furnishing music

A WARTIME CONCERT.
(By Capt. Il. X. Beecham.)

Along the vale two armies lay
Beside the purling water;
The boys in blue, the boys in gray,
Injured to bloody slaughter.
Old Rappahannock rolls between
A line of silver showing,
And ranged along each ridge are seen
Ten thousand camp-fireS glowing.
At "ln place rest both armies stand;
They guard their salient borders;
Each waits a leaders stern command
His march or battle orders.
The stars from out silent sky
Ger silent camps are shining,
And every cloud seen fitting by
Is stitched with silver lining.
Now sharply peals from Stafford flights
A strain of martial glory,
And every Union band unites
To swell the old-time story.
Along that war-worn line peals forth
The grand Star Spangled Banner"
And loud the soldiers of the North
Cheer in their wartime manner.
Afar the woods and glens resOund
And all the firm hills CULVER;
Still silent lies the broad camp-ground
Beyond the rolling river.
But Southern ears have heard the cheers
By Northern strains inspired,
And quick the Southern camp appears
With martial ardor fired.
Now far away on Marye's Hight
The Southern bands are playing,
And Dixie Land to wild delight
The Southern heart Is swaying.
And fiercely rings the Southern yell
In strong pulsatiOns throbbing;
Then Ger the valley silence fell
Save Rappahannock sobbing.
But, bark! again from Stafford flights,
A clear, soul-thrilling measure;
1t fills the air, awakes the night
With deep, responsive pleasure.
Home, Sweet, Sweet Home" regards NJ

The hostile camps dividing.
But falls a benson divine,
Peace-crOwned, DER all presiding.
And every band joins In Sweet Home
From aIarye's flights to Stafford;
Such incense under Mars dread glOam
Before was never offered.
From Stafford hills and Marye's flights,
And DER the valleys under,
Swell cheer and yell. far through the night
That roll In echoing thunder.
Confederate yell and Union cheer
In harmony are blended:
