I am weary oi' living below. To the realms of bright glory my spirit would go, Where the flowers of friendship and love ever bloom, And •>'beaaty immortal" sinks not to the tomb. Where the sanctified' dwell in the hewers'of rest, O may I bo like thee and with tlFni be blest, Wbcro the gales of'contention and sorrow no more, Drive the billows of life to the "surf beaten shore," Where the zephyrs ambrosial Sit :i!eht!y past And the "noontide of glory" forever shall last; Where the curse of inconstancy never can harm, And where friends are devoted, and truthful, and warm, From a world of .jecei'fuluess. sorrow and pain, A release for my soul nosy I seek not rrs v dr.; And may I be wafted by itr-pbitus heme, Where deceit and inconstancy never can come- There, bright o'er the plains of eternal repose, The driver of liic" irrc-ist'ibly flows; Them. Uooiamg Ip beauty tha ; ite of life".' .ads. Whose fruit? are for healing all nations aad laud.*: There spirits congenial we ever shall find, To suit all the different classes of mind, The streets are ill paved there with crystalline go'd, And heaven new glories shall daily untold; ' Our hearts shall be gigd in that bliss! ug abode, The home of the blessed, tto city of God.

Tbo motive which has gath- I ered that ariay together never befors was pre*. ! sentfel to the eye of history. It was oongre- I" gated by nojdeapotic order; it was the volun J tary wish, the motive potfe-r, of every mau i ooHiposing it—the power "of meo rushing, as with one purpose, to eeinstate the fiag of cur Union and save the Republic. Tint, soidiers, is your mission; aud you have a coiumauder who, with lightning speed, will lead you to conquest, and with equal speed will transmit the glory of your labors to tha roosoteit cor ners of our country. And now, permit trie though tho shades of night are Tall lug upon j us, to indulge in a few words as to tho cause j of ibo war, aud the means by which it is to ! be brought to a successful termination. The j sid I havo already adverted to; the j motive pojwor remains to be commented upon, j Oa tbe one side you hare the Confederate ar- j myon the other side you have tho grand [ Union—the Federal aruay. Now, the differ- ! effeo between these two words, in their 00111- j moo fleeciiUtiou, is the cause for which tuese two are fighting. It i Secession against F.-d- j erstioo; Federation against Secession. Na- j tionality against disunion; confussion against I order; anarchy against a good, free, and lib- j eral Govornaicmt—a Government made equal, j by tie Father# of the South and the Fath- ' eta of the North. We arc ia a revolutionary ! period. The South contendn for the right of ; revolution. Wo admit tba right; but while j we aim t it, wo invoke the solo umpire which may be invoked oa such occasions—tba umpire Cf the sword, jtbo umpire of force, tha Ultima; ratio, that last effort to which men a : when taey hava differences otherwise irre'eun- i cilnble. TKef —the Sou!h--hav resorted to ' arms, ftDd they have compelled a# to the same resort, and if they claim that, it is a t w.ir of ! self preservation on their part, it is equaHy a j war of jKif-pwervstion cn ours, sud if we j arc io controversy for very existen-o, tbea I 1 conteud that all tbe resouroo?, all the tnosns ' within curielves, individually, collectively, i aud nationally, must be roacrtsd to and adopt- : cd.
