"SINGING SOLDIERS."
HIE LAST RADICAL INSULT TO VALOR.
Apropos of the attempt on the part cf
the Jacobin majority in Congress to organ
ize a company of "Kinging 6oldicrs," the
New York Sunday Mercury bas received the
r-uhjo'ried poem from a correspondent, v. bo
states, in an accompanying note, that lie
vis in thirteen geucral act'ons and seven
: -.iia.'.-r en a2cments during the late war.
I If !ct his Tfcft haod at UeltVuurf;, aid j
would, ha says, bo villirg to acriuce hit
rihv in tho Democratic cause, believing that
a victory over Radicalism, next Fall, is as
necessr.ry to the safety of the Republic as
the defeat of the Southern rebellion was five
years aco. The order (for the document
reada like a military rescript) to the crippled
veterans who have been discharged from the
army to organize as an itinerant band of
muiftrrld to sing in Grant, Colfax ami ne
jrro Mupiemacy, is about the moot impudent
dedpe tbat the Cocbtitntion-breaking anarcli
is.'e Lavtf yet attempted. Hitherto the war
bneidrs, shoddy contractors and bondholding
olipaichy have been content to organize the
pal'iprt men whom they gent to the war as
substitutes for thair own cowardly carcasses,
s bundle-carrying ar.d boot blacking aso
riat'ou& ; but now they propose to draft them
into the rank of J:"obinb:ni as a troupe of
u-eludi-Ha mountebanks, pledged to warble
the praises of the very men who have been
evr ','yn their faces fr the last f-ur years;
who give the rffices they have earned a

With your fmpty coat-jleeves come.
Hurry up your shot-torn bodies
At the tap of Shoddy's drum.
Though your limbs, to prop the Union,
You gave freely, that was naught ;

Who were stealing while you fought. j

The "Soldir Mweeugcn" of New York

Jtadienl rnnpollsts. who pay them from $3 to

At the Presidential election of I6G4 the
poldlers' ballots for "little Mac" wers steamed
out of the envelopes by Government spiB, and
, Ltaeoln ballots substitutes' in their stead ;' a it 4
17,000 vetcs, in one batch, were stelen'froin

A. Reminiscence of Gen. Grant,
NOT BY niS FATHSK.
It v:is one of those chill, drear days of
November which Longf.'llow describes as a
day upon which "the Gre wiil not burn upon
our hearths nor in or.r hearts."
A slow, corstant rain had Veen fil ing
since earl' morn, rendering tho atmosphere
po chill and cold that the so'diers gathered
their overcoats more closely about their per
son, or drew nearer their camp fires, tii-n.
Grant sat in his comfortable headquarters,
in Mexico. Mo., awaiting the leturn of a
scouting party sent cut the day before. At
last they came: the muddy hordes bi tiring
their drenched, dripping burdens up to the
very do.r of the room iu whi:h their Gen
eral was seated. They cid not return alone,
those dreaded scouts. They knew too well
what was required at their hands, to return
without prisoners prisoners taken from
their quiet farm-houses, or from their peaci
ful pursuits no matter wleie they must
be broughtin to lend an air of importance
to their shameless raids.
This time they had reaped a rich harvest,
to judge by tho number in citizen's diess,
that were being hurried toward the co'd, com
fortless warehouse that had been turned mtu
a prison.
A week passed on and nothing was heard
from the unfortunate inmates of t hat gloomy
building until ono day a little child was
playing beneath its windows and picked up
a i-mall note that had found its way to the
ground, ar.d took it home. It read :
" W. Garnett, of Lewis county, is seriously
iih For HeavinV sake, tie that he has
medica I asfis tance ! "
The next day, three hvlfes, Mrs O., Mrs.
W. and tho writer of this rude sketch, veiled
General Grant's headquarters.
We found him with a cigar in l is mouth,
and his nit at an elevation higher than h s
head, resting upon a stove. Neither of these
were removed as we enti-rcd.
"General," said Mrs. G.. in her plain,
straight-forward way, "you have a ve;y sick
prisoner down here, in whose behalf we have
ccmc this morning to intercede."
"Ah !' was the response, as he looked out
from uLdcr the fatigue cap that shaded his
eyes.
"Yt s," continued the di-ar rdd lady, "a!:d
we are willing to give bond, if necessary, if
you will parole him f r a few days until he
gets better."
"Ha ! ha ! Ladies, if I s-hould grant jour
request I wou'd be besieged night and day
by tdl the rtbel wcnien in the country nut 1
not one bushwhacker would be ielt in my
safd keeping."
After several arguments were used to no
avail we left the room, feeling that wo were
turning away from a man dead to every fccl
in of humanity and alive to nothing but hi
own selfish interest.
A few days more and another white-winged
messenger found i t -t way to us. confironng
or.r worst fears. Poor, nnknow n prisonrr,
was growing rapidly wor?e, and "coidd cot
held out much longer wbhout relief," so the
note ran, and ur hearts grew f.uiit within
us, iS we thought of the poor pi'.sjitt i t
being permitted to render, him tl.a b'igiiti-t
assistance.
Shouid we make one more etT-rt? Yes.1
s ud Mrs. G , we will try once nioie, he can
but refuse.
The second time our Sttittnpt was success
ful. After ivii.g bot.os j'.r the appearance
of the prisoner, the p-or tuff-rer wtiS per
mitted to be taken to Mrs. fi. hou.-e. A
very handscme man he w;i5, witii Lis l.ut;e,

The best medical as.sistance was secured,
but the physiciau shook his head doubifully,
after closely examining his patient his
disease was pneumonia, had been neglected
too long, and his recover' was doubtful.
We learned from him the address of his
wife, aud wrote to her, breaking the sad
tidings as gently as we cotihl, but rather
urging upon her. if practicable, to visit him
and us, who had taken such an intcrcit in
the stranger.
Alas! were ever words so fearfully po
tent, so fall of meaning, as the words "too
late!"
Even before the letter hud been dispatched,
wo began to discover our patient growing
worse.
It was towards the evening of the second
day after his removal, that we ent.icl his
room, and found his dark eye aglow with a
strange, unnatural the.
"Ah! Maggie," he almost shrieked. "I
knew you would come. It was bard to die

sunk into a deep tie -p.
When he awoke the fearful change wrought

Death had already begun its iuroada upon

Then Mrs. "W. drew near him, and re
ceived messages for tho absent loved ones
awuiing him they Mi&uld bo faithfully de
livered, aod speaking to him of a happy and
glorious meeting in a heaveuly home.
As she mentioned the last word, his pale
lips caught it up. pronounced it long and
lovingly ; his eye brightened for a moment,
then closed forever, while hij Ireed spirit
1 al fled away to "where the dark waves of
eternity break upon an unknown bhore."
His parole was ended, and General Grant,
by his cold indifference to suffering humani
ty, his neglect to provide medical assistance,
rendered one more uuhappy woman a widow
and added one more httle innocent tr the
li.st of helpless orphanage. St. Joseph (Mo.)

to the support of the false and partisan charges

known in history and by its frauds and monopi?
lies it has nearly doubled the burden of the debt
created by the war. It has snipped the Presi

even of his own cabinet. Under its repeated
assaults the pillars of the government are rock

j veinber next and inaugurate its President, we
win meet as a snojected and conquered neop'e
amid the ruins ol liberty and the scattered fra"
meuts of the C jus iiution ; and we do declare
and resolve that ever since the people of the
United States threw off all subjection to the
Uritish crown theprivilego and trust of suffrage
have belonged to the several States, and have
been granted, legulated and controlled e clu
sively by the political power of e .ch State re
spectively, and lh,t any attempt by Congress,
on any pre'ext whatever, to deprive unv State
of this right, or interfere with ita exerei'se, is a
migrant usurpation of power which can find no
wnrrnnt iu the Constitution, and if sanctioned
by the people, will subvert our form of govern
rneut, and can only end in a single centralized
and consolidated government, in which the
separate existence of the States will be entirely
absorbod, and an uuquaiified despotism be es
taidodied in place of a Federal Uuion of co
equal Str.tcs ; and that we regard the reeon

re usurpations, and unconstitutional, revolu
So nary and void.
That our soldiers and sailors, who rarriod

fully reunembeied, and all the guarantees given
in their favor must be fuithlu'Iy carried into
execution.
That the puh!"i2 lands 6hould be distributed

That the President of the United States, An

I am having Boots made of the finest Fiench
Calfskin, and within the past month or two
have had orders pouring in upon me from all
quarters far this kind of work. The material
in these Boots is the best to be found In th
market, and the wcrmauhin, both in newness
and strength, cannot be excelled at any other
establishment in the country.
MY TUAIN ALWAYS ON TIME!
All work will be ready for delivery at the
