Oujtc COUNTRY'S DEAD.
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.
OFT DO WE* FIND.
Oft do vec find the world untrue,
Cold, heartless, l'alsa, and vaia ;
Its smiles ai'nriag to deceive,
And pleasir.g but to pain.
friendship often is assumed.
The better to betray ;
Its language oft the Siren's sng,
Tbnt ilitters bat to slay.
The best affections oft are wronged,
And troth is doubted Bl);
The heart—poor fluttering thing—alone
Knows its own Litter gall ;
Tho* wrong and spurned, it still must beam
It cannot cease to live ;
Too' U has grrua,—and who has ncitt
'Tis filesied to forgive.

Could we bnt feel another's wrong,
And rtgblly judge of men,
We would be loss unkind, severe,
Less Lasty to condemn.
Appearances should not cenTict,
More hidden is the heart ;
Its efforts, trials, p ings and pains,
If known, might gain our part.
The cup of life may sptrkie bright,
Yet po sou Inrk within ;
The fiowor we pluck ia gay delight
May hide the serpent's sting ;

The change in the Cabinet of President LIQ
coin by tbo voluntary withdraw al of the See
retury of War, G-n. 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. Those wbQ

perfect idea uf the responsibilities and duties
devolving upon a War 31iniater ia ibe*" trjing
times, can readily understand why General
Cameron was not unwilling to reltnguish a po n
eiticn which demanded such unceasing toil,
and frequently awakened the envy of foes and
the distrust at' friends. 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.
We Lave repeatedly spoken of Edwin M.

At a festival, on some occasion among tho

"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. If wiil l-e for us, then,
to remember bow Kuglaod was our
enemy iu thj day of our misfortune, aad
to make that reiuembiuncc a d&ik and fearful
page of her hisiory, and an eternal memory in
our own.
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.
