Peace to the ashes of the dead Who for their country (lie ; •Disturbit not; 'tis sacred dost, Tutir names shall never die ; Deep grttveu on tne nation's heart. Firm shall they ever stand ; A patriot bind whoso praise shall sound, Throughout this much-loved land. Clow gently, breezes of the night, Softly your requiem sing ; Guard them, ye starlight watchers bright, Your tsr sparkling beauties bring, And weave around theii resting place A halo fliled with light, Fit emblem of their peaceful rest, Culm, and serene-ly bright. Angels have baited each spirit fair As from its mangled corse. It soared beyond the kings of aarth Norknew the pang, remorso ; For they had acted well their part, Died fighting for their land, Their native lrnd they loved so well, Long may she ever stand.

Cameron, ami the appoint or.nt of Hon. Edwin 31. Stanton, of Pa., though for fomo years past a resident of the j District of Columbia, is su event of more tbso . Oidinury significance. It will ixaite surprise io many quarters and may leal to tome im i portat results. The fact that Gen. Cameron ws nominated as the American luiuiiter at the Court of St. Petersburg, simultaneously with the nomination of Jlr. Stanton to too, War I? paitment, indicate* that in leaving toe Cabinet ti? carried with hito the confidence and good wishes of President Lioooin.

That he leaves Lis Department without a stain upon his good name, Dd with the confidence of thousands who uever knew bis high qualities before he entered it, is, perhaps, the proudest eoosoU tion be eooid desire.

"Occasional,' the Washington correspoc* flout of lb# Philadelphia Press, commenting on the Mason-Slidel! sff-iir, says: If we do concede the dcoisnds of England, however, it will only be because we desire to crush 'Lis rebellion—as a duty we owe to uric* kind. It will be bee.use we prefer to master the great evil, and do out wivh to be aiieutted troui <-ur duty by an international and compar atively unimportant quarrel; it wiil he because we prefer national solvation to the gratification of any feelings of national pride. It wiii be a great act of self denial. Put wheu we cotoo from this rebellion, it wiil be with a magnifi cent army, educated and organized, auci with the seiiso of tois wrong weighing upon them. It will be with a navy competent to meet any usvy up a the globe.

HOW WE TREATTLIEIFTDEAD.—A Port Royal correspondent tbus writes : A flag of truce came a few days since for the body of Doctor BairJ, who was killed in the fort ou the day of the fight. Ilis brother and two otb*r officers came with the fl .g.— They found ihe holy placed in a neat coffia; oil his effects, surgical instruments, bis wateb, ■ud the tiifles found in bis pockets were taken charge of end handed to the bro'her. Great was the surprise of tbeso officers when they found i bat the vandals of the North cared so little for plunder. The Deat bead board at the grave, with tbe doctor's nam-', and "killed m battle oo November 6, 1801 " proved to ! them that our army was not vindictive; and wLen they found that guards were on tbeir prcpeity, to prevent its pillige by their own j r.'grue, they began to reabzs that wa aft fighting for a government, and not for spoils.
