When the cloud of treason darkened,
Freedoms light in Sumpter's sky,
Bravely stepped they forth to battle,
There to conquer or to die.
Left the plow within the furrow


Left the OK within the stall
Left the corn leaves sprouting upward,
To resound to freedoms call.
Left the grass unknown to wither,


And the golden grain unstored;
Left the anvil for the bayonet,


And the sickle for the sword.
Men are wanted-true men wanted


To defend a nations flag
Hearts may wither in their sorrow,


Yet the spirit never lag.
Forth they come--a host of freemen
From the setting of the sun
Every hand was a thousand


While in hearts they were as one.
Soft Lamine had seen their coming
Sweeping Usage heard their cry,
As they struggled in the battle,


Meath the summers sunny sky.
Cleaned their camp fires as thousand
On the darklng Tennessee
Where the mistletoe was clinging


To the aged cypress tree.
Like the avalanche descending


Like the rolling of the flood,
They have swept the field of battle,
Aud have bathed it with their blood.
They have met the foe and conquered,
On the mountain and the plain;
They are reaping with the harvest,
Though thousand are the slain.
Long shall wave that starry banner
That they bore 80 brayely on;
Long shall freemen point in triumph
To the battle they have won.

From the rational Intelligencer.


Among the correspondence recently found
on board OF a captured rebel vessel was a
letter from prominent citizen of South
ern State to his wife, who is sojourning at
q distance from home. The writer OF the
letter had just returned from visit of week
or two at Richmond, and was writing bis
wife what he saw there. The bitterness
with which he condemns the rebellion and
bewails the misery and desolation of his
once happy and prosperous section OF the
Union is poured out with all the fervor of
sincerity, and we doubt not that he expresses
the feelings and hopes of thousands of others
who, like him, dare not speak openly. The
letter is dated the 30th ultimo. He says:


"This accursed attempt of one section to
set up an independent government must,
sooner or later fail, and full igaominiously.
| am bound in duty to share in the burdens;
and to do what I may to alleviate the suffer
ings which the attempt has brought upon
those among whom | was born, but will
take no office in it--the highest would be no
iDducemept--nor will l share in the terrible
responsibility. No words can depict the
horrors which l witnessed both at Rich
mond and upon my journey there and back.
The deaths then occurring at Richmond
were fully equal to one hundred and fifty a
day. More than seventeen thousand sick
and wounded are now in the Richmond
hospitals The recent seeming success of
our arms will only serve to accelerate the
downfall Of our short-lived Confederacy."

made.


You may be sure that | did not ask
about the father of that child nor could
l, just then, have come to any other conclu-
sion than that the system of slavery was
one that, in practice, overleaped the bounds
of domestic virtues and invaded the domains
of most infamous harlotry and amalgama-
ton. All this, too, the spirit of noble
wives must bear, and with bleeding hearts
yet smile, though beautiful slave entices
unwittingly the heart, or, at least, passions,
of her husband. Southern wives would
have no reason to deplore it if the necessi-
ties of war should grind to powder the
whole system of slavery, with its attendant
vices, provided they held martial obliga
tions as sacred as did the Roman matron.

strength of the falsehood that he was con.

THE LADY DOES NOT LIKE GEN. MITCHELL.


She delpored the present condition of at.
fairs; hoped that compromise could soon
settle our troubles; thinks the Cincinnati
E9squirer is a most excellent and ably edit,
ed paper; would much like that the western
states would separate from the eastern, and
join the Southern Confederacy; don't see
why the Enquirer and Mr.. Vallandigham
do not say more about that, for the South
would willingly accept union with the
West. Her husband did not like General
Mitchell; he was kind enough to place q
guard at their house for four weeks TO keep
the soldiers from annoying, but then his
policy of making the people take the oath
who never had been to war was very bad,
especially those who have conscientious
scruples on the subject.
