With trumpet's cry and roll of drums,
This way the tide of battle comes:
All the vast spaces of the hills
The thunder of the cannon fills;
Nearer 1t comes ! And who are these,
Like broken waves of stormy seas
Long lines of shattered blue, that meet
In rout, confusion and defeat?


Up the long road the columns fy,
And still tho fierce triumphant cry
Pnrsues, aud yon dark cloud of gray
comes surely, swiftly on this way.
Its rolling thunder louder grows,
It's deadly lightning leaps and glows,
And these who fly, our friends, and those Wit


chase-our foes


Now for that crushed and ruined host
Is victory forever lost


Northward it flies and Northward comes
The roll of Early's rebel drums;
our banners IN his ranks are flying
his march Is on our dead and dying:
Northward he comes, and who shall STAY
His swift, resistless lines of gray,
But one stern face is Southwark set;
But one man is not beaten yet
Not get, though all besides should fly,
Not get, though faithless victory
Perches on rebel flags forever
The Corps is whipped-the General never!
Lo! It's an army that hath fed,
And none are heroes but the dead.
When riding down the valley far
He brought soul into the war.
Swift came the trampling steed, more swift
The riders spirit as he came


His voice went forth before his sword
And slew the fears of men with shame,
Then when he met the mighty rout
W hat was his order ," FACE ABoUTr'
As flame through flame the order ran;
Southwark they faced, yea every man
Faced South-then cheered for Sheridan.
Ah right well Jubal Early knew,
no hurled that avalanche of blue;
He knew whose hand had turned the flight,
And struck full in the face his van;
Too well he'd felt in many fight
The strong right arm of Sheridan.
And he who led our legions onward,
And bore their darkened banners sunward,
Notless in peace than war was great
But as he marched an army, ruled State
straightforward pausing not, nor turning,
All his great soul within him burning,
To do the right thing and to do it we'll
What mattered it to him who should oppose?
lie loved his country better than his place,
And those who hated her-he held his foes.
This was cur crime, o Sheridan tlat you
When bad men traded in their country's sin.

Defeated? Yes, but glorious such defeat.
Conquered? Aye, only when the Right is slain.

And as principle shall rise again.

time? Was the hdbeas corpus filed by them ?
Was the defendant entitled to issue it
Was his decision in accordance with the

Heydt had them in custody. Judge
Frazier had TO determine between
the men in custody and the man who held
them in custody. He had no feeling in it
at all, or only feeling that he regretted
having to act in a case like it. Judge
Frazier had to determine whether they
were properly held by the Sergeant
on the authority of a resolution of the Le-
gislature They claimed and maintained
that they were not, inasmuch as they were
held by less than quorum Of the Legis-
lature, not entitled to exercise the func-
tions pertaining to the Legislature itself.
Section l46 of article 1st Of the coDstitu-
ton provides that "two-thirds of each
House shall constitute quorum to
do business, but a smaller number may
adjourn from day to day, and may be
authorized by law to compel the attendance
of absent members" What does any man
understand that to mean, without explana-
ton or argument? Unless the Assembly
had passed an act that they might, with a
smaller number than two-thirds, send out
an officer to command the attendance of
absent members, they had no right orpower
to enforce the attendance of absentees. As
it stood, they had no power to do any
thing except adjourn from day to
day. The gentlemen on the other
side very coolly and confidently as
sumo a certain state of things to
exist, and then proceed on that as
sumption. They say the Legislature had
the power to do so and 50. But what is the
Legislature? 1t requires two-thirds TO
constitute a quorum in either House, and
less than that number can perform none of
the functions of Legislature except ad-
iourn from day to day. If less than two
thirds can do more than that, they can do
anything else.


The court then adjourned to 9 o'clock to-
morrow morning, when Judge Brien will
continue his argument.

THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.-The following
concerning this little craft is from the London
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette:-


"DovER, March 3.-The little ship Red,
White, and Blue which put in here on Friday
evening, sailed this morning for Havre. It
was blowing hard from the eastward, with q
heavy ysea-nevertheless the little craft behaved
nobly and went away steadily under fore and
main topsails and fOretopmast staysail. Her
behavior under canvas had the effect of very
much altering the opinion of many seafaring
spectators as to her having actually sailed
across the Atlantic.n

he arose and was greeted with loud and pro-

a speech, but would offer this sentiment: "No
State of itself has the right under the Con-
sttution to renouhce its place in, or with
draw from, the union; no- has the Congress

degrade the people of any State by reducing
them to condition Of Territorial dependency

the other is consolidation and an exercise Of

disastrous than the one of February. 1865.

Overaowed. and took fire. He dropped the
can on the floor. and the FIRE was rapidly ap-

who was present, and who retained his
presence of mind, took his hat and beat out
the flames as they approached the can. Had
it not been for this boy. the fire would have
reached the oil before assistance could have
been rendered. and the building would as
suredly have been destroyed, and with it a
number Of other wooden buildings adjoining.
In this hot weather. when every wooden

failed to agree 1t seems that upon the
first vote after going out they stood eight
for acquittal and four for conviction, and
chat during the entire time they were out,
about three days, no one had abandoned
his first position. This was very properly
regarded as dispelling all hopes of an ulti-
mate agreement, and they were discharged.
Thus ends this remarkable trial which has
dragged its slow length along over Pc
riod Of two months. The result will sur
prise no one, as it has been evident for
some time that SURRATT could not be con
victcd of murder. The expense of this trial
to the people is only 100000.

Villas & Co.'S WOODEN Factory
No more important event has taken place
in the history of our county-if we consider
its bearings upon the interests of our own
people-then the speeding of the first shut
tie through the first web of wooden cloth
ever woven by mechanical power in this
vicinity, at the woolen mill of Messers.
Villas Co. during the past week. This is
step Of progress not easily over-estimated,
affording market at the very doors of our
wool-growers developing one Of the most
important manufactures known to civiliza-
ton bringing producer and consumer
right together, and thus effecting great
saving to the community, while at the same
time supplying employment to mechanics
and laborers. We take great pleasure in
calling the attention of our farmers to this
event, and we need scarcely urge them to
consult their own interest by patronizing
what ought to be proudly considered by
them their own mill.


The owners of the mill arc men well
known to the community, and need no
recommendation at our hands to entitle
them to the confidence of the people, but it
is proper perhaps that We should say that
those who are in charge of the various
departments arc n.en who thoroughly
understand their business, as is fully
proven by their first products, which are
said to be, by good judges, of the best
quality of workmanship and style.


The machinery in this mill is all new and
of the most approved pattern, and every
thing about the establishment is of that
high character that must ensure success
and give ample satisfaction to all who may
have dealings with it. We heartily wish
the ent erprising owners large reward out
of their new undertaking.

the bleeding ceases, then rinse the beak out
with vinegar and water. Fowls killed in
this manner keep longer and do not pre sent

diately after death, and the fowl stuffed; as
they do in France with paper shavings or
short cocua-nut librcs to preserve their shape,
they will keep much longer fresh: Some
breeders cram their poultry before killing

injudicous plan, as the undigested food soon

pS. Our exchanges record the fact that the radical party of Pennsylvania and Ohio IS hopelessly defeated, while ip IIas|wsa Iowa the Democracy have gained largely in almost every precinct. In Ohio the Democrats have 8 majority in the House of 9 or 10 on joint ballot ; thus defeating Ben Wade for the United States Senate. In Pennsylvania the Democracy are largely victorious. We must confess that we are not SO jubi- lant over their victories, as are some of our friends, for we cannot see that we are particularly benefited thereby. That of which we are glad, Is the de- feat of. the radical party, for we do think that when this party is dethroned and the. people have time to think, that their deliberatibns will create another party, having more wisdom than either party now in existence, and out of this new party shall come the salvation of the country, if indeed we can hope to be saved from national ruin.
