Dearest love, do you remember When we last did meet, How you told me that you loved me, Kneeling at my feet! Oh! how proud you stood before me, In your suit of blue, When you vowed to me and country, Ever to be true. CHORUS—Weeping sad and lonely, Hopes and fears how vain— When this cruel war is over, Praying that we meet again. When the summer breeze is sighing, Mournfully alone, Or when autumn leaves are falling, Sadly breathes the song ; Oft in dreams I see thee lying On the battle plain. Lonely, wounded, even dying, Calling, but in vain. CHORUS—Weeping, sad and lonely, &e. If amid the din of battle, Nobly you should fall, Far away from those who love you, None to hear you call. Who would whisper words of comfort I Who would soothe your pain ? Ah! the many cruel fancies Ever in n>y brain. CHORUS—Weeping, sad and lonely, &c. But our country called you, darling, Angels cheer your way, While our nation's sons are fighting, We can only pray Nobly strike for God and Liberty, Let all nations see, How we love the starry banner, Emblem of the free! g CHORUS—Weeping, sad and lonely, &c. NAPIER TP., July 25, 1863. • FRIEND MEYERS: # I notice in yesterday's Ir&pilrcr an article headed: ''The This is a" confession. The curse now restiag rip on the party in power is a.gr&akbprftufa.t o us all. But it appears to me tlifft tJie au thor wants to produce an effect thatlie darcsj not express, namely: Democrat# should ni: longer regard party obligations , but vote with what he styles the Union party. A bout. here we have no such Democrats. We all know that their sham Union party is nothing more r.or less than the Abolition party, dressed up, spread out and fed by Government patronage —by your taxes and mine. The fact of seeing two or three such ar ticles lately makes me think that there, might be some Democrats in market; but I can't think that we have any intelligent Demo crats who are so short-sighted; for, woe be tide that Democrat who now fails to do his whole duty. The cry of Union party by the Abolitionists, is a foul sham—another gull-trap. The people in the country can think as well as the people in town, and the leaders of the Abolition party in Bedford, may as well quit; for the people arc tired of them and won't be deceived by them any longer. It used to be "the blind leading the blind," but those who lead have stum bled so often and blundered so much that the people are going to take their own course. If there be any men in our party who are for sale, or who carry water on both shoul ders, we want you to name them out in your paper, whenever and wherever found. We want to "lay out" all such fellows, if there are any, and be done with them. W c can do without them and now is a good time to get rid of them. We feel that the only safe ty for this Republic is in the Democratic party. The history of the last sixty years —if not of the last two alone—establishes this, and the sooner and more decidedly we put down the ruinous party now in power the better. He who can't go into this work with his whole heart, is no good citizen— certainly no Democrat —and has no busi ness in the ranks. The Union party dodge is "played out"—the humbug is too trans parent and the Abolitionists must get a li on's skin of another color to cover the car cass of the Abolition ass.

EDITOB:— WiII you allow me a small space in your columns to define what, in my judgment, are a few of the characteristics of -a true Democrat ? 1. The political creed of a true Democrat is founded upon the doctrines of Jefferson and of Jackson, which, embraced among other things, an acknowledgment of the capacity of the peo ple for self-government, civil and religious lib erty, and a strict interpretation of the Consti tution. 2. A true Democrat has an abiding faith in the ability and disposition of his party when in power, to manage successfully our domestic and foreign relations, to administer justice to all in terests and all sections, and to infuse a spirit of economy and enforce a rigid accountability in all the departments of the government. 3. A true Democrat is always ready manful ly to defend the measures and policy of his par ty when unjustly assailed or misrepresented by its enemies, and when an error, in his opinion, has been committed, to frankly acknowledge it, as he is not foolish cnougli to claim infallibility for anything human. 4. A true Democrat never has recourso to the lies and calumnies of a pensioned and prof ligate opposition press for missiles to hurl at the heads of those whom his own vote.has helped to put into high positions, and thus injure and demoralize his own party. 5. A true Democrat never permits his per sonal disappointments to interfere with his po litical fealty ; and if he has failed in his appli cation for office, lie consoles himself with the hope that a better man has been selected to till the place. G. A true Democrat may bo opposed to slave ry in the abstract; but believing this Govern ment was created by and for white men, ho is not willing to sacrifice the great interests of twenty-five millions of the Caucasian raco for the sako of the "nigger," by engaging in a sense less Abolition crusade agaiust the South, which must, if not promptly arrested, terminate in the disruption of the Union. 7. A true Democrat makes it his business to attend and particijiate in all the primary meet inga of his party, to the end that good und faith \ ful men may be chosen to fill tho various offices WHOLGIVMBER, 3068 VOL. 6, NO 52. within the gift of the jieople, and to see that the old creeds and platforms are re-attirmed and en dorsed. 8. A true Democrat always attends the elec tion and deposits his vote, conscious of the sav ing influence of the right of ballot, and believ ing, with Jefferson, that "the price of lilierty is eternal vigilance." 9. And finally, a truo Democrat entertains a "religious hatred" of all trading and huckster ing politicians, and all political guerillas and renegades, who "sell their birthright for a mess of pottage," or for "thirty pieces of silver." JACKSON. THE WASTE OF WAR. The Pension office at Washington litis lately recorded the nineteen thousandth application of wives made widows by this war oetween the Northern and Southern States. What a shocking proof is this of the awful work of war! Nineteen thousand wives made widows by these battles during the last twenty four months! and this number, frightful as it is, is far from complete, while it only represents , one side in the fratricidal strife; there are at least us many more desolate homes in the South. The whole number of those who have been made widows by this sectional contest certainly can not be less than 150,000. It is un appalling thought; but this number falls far, far short of the actual loss of life that has been occasioned thus far. Multiplication of these figures must be resorted to, if the whole extent of the mor tality alone is to be arrived at. It is estimated that the total casualties number nearly a mil lion. Has the sun ever shone on a scene so sad, so terrible, in all earth's circling seasons, as that which our planet has presented, in this once happiest country on its surface, during its two last annual journeys in its orbit? The evils resulting from the injuries suffered by hundreds of maimed and crippled men; from the unloosing of the floodgates of vice and im morality, which must always necessarily occur to some extent in u time of war, but never to such a degree as in civil war; the blow that has been inflicted upon the great material inter ests of the country; the suffering in other lands; and the extent to which the world's progress has been retarded, if not actually reserved, by this lamentable contest, cannot, of course, now be correctly estimated. How strange it is, that ere our peace was yet broken, men were found, on both sides, who were zealous fur the accomplishment of every- | thing that made for war.—Hartford Tunes. THE INCOME TAX. The income tax imposed by the act of Con gress is about to be assessed, and becomes duo and payable on or before the 30th of this month —June. All incomes not exceeding SGOO are exempt from tho tax. The following article from an exchange will explain several impor tant provisions of the law. The income tax is imposed upon a certain proportion of the in come of these two classes, viz: 1. Every person in tho United States, and every citizen residing abroad who is in the em ployment of the government of the U. States. 2. Every citizen of tho United States resid ing abroad, and not in the employment of the government of the United States. Every person in the first class will-be taxed at the rate of three per cent, when his or her annual gains, profits or income exceed S7OO, and §IO,OOO. Every person in the first class will bo taxed at the rate of five per cent, when the annual gains, profits or income exceed SIO,OOO, after the following deductions are made from the gross amounts returned : 1. The SGO(> allowed by law. 2. Other national, State and local taxes as sessed for 1862, and paid. 3. Bent annually paid for the dwelling house or estate occupied as tho residenco of tho per son assessed. 4. Necessary repairs to property yielding the income, or insurance thereon; or pay for hired laborers, and their subsistence, employed in con ducting his business; or interest on incumbran ces upon tho property; or all, as tho case may be. Every person in the second class will be tax ed at the rate of five per cent, whatever may be his or her annual gains, profits, or income from property, securities, and stocks owned in the United States, without other deduction than numbers 2 and 4 above stated. Whenever the taxable income of a resident in tho United States, ascertained as above, ex ceeds SIO,OOO, and upon a portion of said a mount three per cent, has been withheld by the officers of companies, corporations and associa tions, from interest or dividends therein due him, such income will be subject to a tax of 2 per cent, additional upon BO much thereof as may have been prcvionsly subjected to a duty of three per cent, by the officers of the compa nies, corporations or associations aforesaid. But in no case, whether a person is subject to a tax of three or five per cent, is a higher rnto of tax than per cent, to ho collected from that portion of income derived from inter est upon notes, bonds, or other securities of tho United States. Where a husband and wife live together, and their taxable income is in excess of S6OO, they will l entitled to but one deduction of SSOO, that being tho average fixed by law as an esti mated commutation for the expense of maintain ing a famdy. Where they live apart, by di vorce or under contract of separation, they will be taxed separately, and bo each entitled to a deduction of SOOO. the sweetening required in rhubarb pics, a Pittsfield lady gives tho follow ing infulliblo rule : "Throw in sugar as long as your conscience will let you ; then shut your eyes and throw in one handful more."

Conscription Law Unconstitutional. The New York Herald of the 15th contains the following highly important decision: # In the matter of the complaint against Wm. L. Stephens, an enrolling officer, who arrested Ilenry lJiesel for an alleged resistance to the draft, Judge McCunn is of opinion that the en tire act is clearly unconstitutional, for it not only violates the rights of the people and creates a distinction among our citizens, but is in direct contravention of the fourteenth and fifteenth sub-divisions of section eight, of article one of the Constitution of toe United Stales. The Constitution in authorizing Congress Ho raise and support armies,' provides only for the stand ing armies of the country, and not for the vol unteer and temporary forces which any emer gency may demand liecausc the fourteenth sub division of the eighth section of article I, au thorizes Congress Ho provide for calling forth the military to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and rebel invasions.' And article 11. of the amendments provides: —'A well regulated militia being necessary to tho security of a free State, the right of the peo ple to keep and bear arms shall not be infrin ged.' And for the purpose of using this militia force the President is not only made the com mander-in-chief of the array and navy of the 11. States, but also of the militia of tho several States when called into the actual service of the United States. And, therefore, as this Con scription law docs not make the force it creates a militia force of the States, nor is it part of the standing armies of the United States, it. is clearly not authorized by the Constitution. Tho standing army of the country could be increas ed by an act of Congress, and tho sub-division referred to authorizes Congress to provide the means for raising it; but Congress, having ne glected to do this, the only force tho President is authorized to use, exclusive of tho regular army and navy is the militia and volunteer for ccs contributed by the several States when call ed upon. The Judge deeply regretted that the people had not patience and patriotism enough, under the operation of the Conscription law, to wait until the courts had fully determined this question; that the courts were able and equal to the duty of sustaining the rights of tho cit izens ; and it was through the courts alone that their rights and safety in the end were fully and properly protected. A Few Fossils. Dean Trench says of words that they are' 'fos sil history," and Lincoln has tried to impress it upon the public mind that we are all of us hard at work "making history" to day. Wo have made so much already that a good deal of it has begun to fossilize and pass into speech. For . the benefit of the next edition of Webster's Dic tionary or Bartletts "Americanisms," we hast en to pick up and shelve a few of the most re markable results of this double process as well in the way of phrases as of single words givo ing proper credit in each case to the maker either of tho fact or of the "fossil" which em balms it.

Now read 'em the resolutions tho General and me drew up last night." Adjutant reads the puff of the administration and threats against the "copper heads." "Now, my men, you are to vote on these resolutions. All of you who oppose them step four paces to tho front. Como out here, you copperheads." No candidate rash enough to step forth.
