Just Before the Battle, Mother.
Just before the battle, mother,
I'm thinking most of you ;
While upon the field we're watching,
With the enemy in view ;
Comrades brave are round me lying,
Filled with thoughts of home 85 God ;
For well they know, that on the morrow
Some will sleep beneath the sod.
Cnougs.
Farewell, mother, you may never
Press me to your heart again ;
But oh, you'll not forget me, mother,
If I'm numbered with the shin.
Oh, I loll s to see you, mother,
And tkloving ones at home ;
But I'll never leave our banner,
Till in honor I can come ;
Tell the traitors all around you,
That their cruel words we know,
In ev'ry battle kill our soldiers,
By the help they give the foe.
Ilark 1 I hear tho bugles sounding,
'Tis the signal for the fight;
Now may Cod protect us, mother,
As He over does the right ;
near the "Battle-cry of Freedom,"
now it swells upon tho air;
Oh, yes, we'll rally round our standard,
Or we'll perish nobly there.
A Thrilling Incident,
The records of ancient or modern
history may be traced' in vain for a
more remarkable instance of heroic
fortitude, sublime patriotism and un
wavering faith in the Almighty arm
than that - which we relate below, the
particulars of which aro furnished by
the Rev. Mr. Startzman, formerly a
resident of Hagerstown, who wanes
nod the closing scenes of the occur
roue°. -
Mr. George Blessing, n farmer, re-
siding near Myersville, Frederick
county, (lid.,) when it was learned
that the rebels were prowling thro'
the neighborhood stealing horses and !
committing depredations generally,
was importuned by his family to re
move his stock oeyond the reach of
the marauders, which ho declined do
ing, avowing his purpose to defend
hits property to thrlast extremity.
He bad ten guns in his house, which
ho proceeded to load and put in readi
ness, in the event of Anecessity Ari
sing for using them.
At noon ; on the 2d of July, ho ga
thered his family about him and read
aloud the 91st Psalm---"I will say of
the Lord, Ile is my refuge atd my
fortress; my God! in Him will I
trust."-,-when he engaged in devo
tional worship, imploring the Most
High to shield and protect his house
hold from the assaults'and rapacity of
the enemy who were laying waste his
native soil, and seeking to overthrow
the best Government ever devised by
the wisdom of man, pleading God to
uphold and sustain the old flag of his
fathers.
Taking two guns, he repaired, with
his son, a lad yet in his teens, to his
barn, from which ho descried a squad
of rebels approaching on horseback.
Handing his son a gun, ho ordered
him to take a certain position, and,
should the squad dismount and at
tempt to break open the doors of the
stable, which were fastened by locks,
he should fire upon them. The rebels
advanced to within a short distance of
the stable, when one of the number
threw himself from his horse and com
menced the work of demolishing the
stable door. At that moment the old
man and his son fired simultaneously
upon the offender, both balls taking
effect in his right arm. The balance
of the party scampered away, leaving
their wounded comrade behind, and
, swearing vengeance upon tho resis
tants. Before they had escaped be
yond the reach of Mr. B's gun ho fired
a second shot at the fleeing Soo, but
with what result ho could not toll.
The rebel at.whom be aimed fell for
ward on his horse, evidently wounded
but ho managed to getaway.
Mr. Blessing's neighbors, :learning
what he bad done, waited upon him,
and, by every argument they could
advance, endeavored to dissuade him
from his purpose to 'stand his ground.'
They tried to prevail upon him to
leave the vicinity and seek refuge
from tho infuriated rebels, who would
return with reinforcements, and not
only destroy his property but would
murder him and his son. The brave
old patriot was immovable in his pur
pose to defend his property, whether
in the event his life should be forfei
ted Ile expressed infinite confidence
in his Shield and Buckler, assured that
needed strength would be given him
in the unequal contest which might
ensue.
The guns were reloaded, and father
and son resumed their former posi
tions and awaited the return of the

foe. They were not long kept, in sus
pense. Twenty mounted rebels, ac
companied by four citizens •of Myers ,
Ville, with whom Mr. B. was acquain
ted, were advancing on his premises.
When within a short distance of Mr.
B's barn the citizens wore ordered in
front of the rebel squad, as a protec
tion to them from the bullets which
the cowardly laud pirates knew were
ready to greet them. Undismayed,
Mr. B. warned his acquaintances
against moving a stop forward, assu
ring them that should they do so they
would meet with swift and certain
death.
Intimidated and bewildered, there
the rebels stood, hesitating what to
do. Every shot fired in the dirdction
where they supposed the 'Yankee sol
diers' were secreted, was promptly and
vigorously answered. 'What should
they do.?' reasoned these baffled, thie
ving sons of Mars. Evidently they
were fighting superior numbers, and
would not hazard the chances for. suc
cess with their present force, but w'ld
go back for artillery. As they were
wheeling their horses to retrace their
course, Mr. B. shot the leader of tho
band through the head, killing him in
stantly.
A second time Mr. Blessing's neigh.
hors waited upon him and urged him,
in the most earnest language they
could employ, to desist from the haz
ardous course he was pursuing. Their
entreaties were unavailing. He was
determined to fight to the bitter end,
severe as the consequences might
prove to him. Would God permit him
to kill ono more traitor he was wil
ling to die.
Momentarily expecting the marau
ders to return with artillery, Mr. B.
shouldered two pp; and posted him
self in a clump of trees on a lane lead
ing from the paillie road is his resi
dence. lle had been there but a short
time when ho observed heavy clouds
of dust rising from the road; some dis
tance off. A large body of horsemen
wore moving toward him. In the ad
vance ho noticed what lie conceived
to be a rebel scout. In an instant the
old ma. • • • r 3 lune in ihn
act of firing, when the object of hie
aim fell back into the main column of
soldiers riding rapidly up the lane.
Ho now recognized the Blue Coats,
who, having heard of the heroic con
duct of the dauntless old patriot and
his worthy son, were hastening to
their rescue. The scone which follow
ed can better be.hnagined than descri
bed.
Mr. Blessing is upwards of seventy
years of ago, enjoys good health, and
is brimfull of the spirit of '76, He is
an elder in the • Myersvillo .Lutheran
Church, over which Mr. Startzman
presides.
Information in Relation to the Com-
ing Draft.
Troluntcers, Substitutes and Drafted Men.
Althoufrh we have heretofore given
'consideration to the rights, duties and
inejdents arising under the enrollment
laws, we are admonishe - d by frequent
communications and inquiries that
there aro many citizens under exor
cise of mind upon the subject, who
have riot yet paid sufficient attention
to the matter, or properly understood
that which has ken said about it. We
therefore give the following synopsis
of the requirements of the law, embra
cing some things hitherto touched up
on, and others not.yet noticed.
First. The exemptions of the origi
nal act, to fathers of motherless chil
dren under twelve years of ago, to
some members of families in which
others aro in service, to sons who aro
the support of aged and destitute pa
rents, and for other similar causes, aro
no longer allowed.
Second. The commutation clause,
by which a person who was drafted
might be released upon the payment
of three hundred dollars is repealed,
with a single exception in the case of
persons conscientiously opposed to
bearing arms, who may commute up
on payment of three hundred dollars,
or otherwise bo considered as "non
combatants," and if drafted be hold to
service for hospital duty, or in the care
of freedmen. Persons physically in
capable of duty• are exempted upon
surgical examination.
Third. The division of citizens ihto
two classes, the second class not being
liable to service until the first class
was exhausted, is abolished, and all
citizens liable are enrolled in the same
class and may be hold to similar ser
vice.
Fourth. The age of liability to the
draft is between twenty and forty-five
ME
Fifth. Volunteers may be received
who are between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five years. Youth between
sixteen and eighteen years may be re-
ceived with the consent of their pa
rents or guardians. The enlistment
of boys under sixteen years of ago is
a military offence in the officer who
recruits them, who may be punished
therefor.
Sixth. Volunteers, whether white
or colored, receive the GovernMent
bounty, according to the time for
which they agree to servo. For one
year, $100; for two years, $200; for
three years, $3OO. These amounts are
paid in installments. To a one year's
volunteer, when mustered in, $33,33;
to a two year's recruit, 866,66; to a
three year's recruit, $lOO. Two oth
er installments are to he paid to the
volunteer or his representatives du.
ring tho term of service.
Seventh. The monthly pay of a pri
vate, either volunteer, substitute or
drafted man, is sixteen dollars a month
Non-commissioned and commissioned
officers receive an increased pay be
yond the rates which were allowed be
fore the last session of Congress.
Eighth. Drafted men receive no
bounties from the Federal Govern
ment, and we presume they will not
receive any from the town or county
to which they belong.
Ninth. Substitutes for drafted men,
or for men liable to draft, furnished in
advance of the draft, receive no boun
ties from the Government. In Phila
delphia, if they go for three years,
they will receive two hundrod'and fif
ty dollars, and for a lesser term in pro.
portion.
Tenth. Representative substitutes
for persons not liable to draft, are con
sidered as volunteers, and receive the
Federal and municipal bounties, and
whatever their principal agrees to pay
them.
Eleventh. Volunteers and represen
tative substitutes may be mustered in
for ono, two, or three years, as they
may elect.
Twelfth. Substitutes for- drafted
men, or men liable to draft, '.may be
accepted for ono i two, or three years,
according to the time that the princi
pal would have to serve, or as be may
engage them.
Thirteenth.
affirfor persons norTiZiT to draft,
may be persons who are liable to
draft.
Fourteenth. Substitutes for persons
liable to draft, 'furnished before draf
ting, must not themselves be liable.
They may either be aliens, veterans
or sailors who have served two years
and been honorably discharged, or the
citizens of tho States in rebellion, or
slaves of rebel owners.
Fifteenth. The principal shall be
exempt, from draft during the time
that the said substitute is not liable to
draft, not exceeding the time for which
the substitute shall be accepted.
Sixteenth. Tho United States no
longor pays premiums for the procu-
ration of recruits.
Seventeenth. Men furnished under
the call of July 18, 1864, whether en
listed for one, two or three years, as
well as all e:cess or deficiency of three
years' men on calls heretofore made,
will count as man for man. The equal
ization of tho amount of military ser
vice rendered by the different States
and parts of States will be effected
hereafter.
Eighteenth. A substitute for an en
rolled man is 3redited, and, therefore,
deducted from the quota of the
ho enlists in.
Nineteenth. An enrolled man fur
nishing au alien as a substitute is ex
empt for the time of service of the sub
stitute, unless the alien becomes a cit
izen, or declares his intention to be
come so, in which case the substitute
is liable to draft, and his principal
likewise.
Twentieth. A man may enlist in
the army or navy for three years as a
substitute. If in the navy, he must
be twenty three years old.
Twenty-first. Recruiting agents in
Rebel States must have a letter of ap
pointment from the State Executive - .
The particular field of a . Stato in which
the agent is to operate, is to be speci
fied in the letter of appointment. All
recruiting agents will be subject to
the rules and articles of war. It is
made the duty of the commanding of
ficer of any department or district in
which recruiting agents operate, and
of commanding officers of rendezvous,
to order back to his Slate or arrest
and hold for trial, as ho may deem
best, any recruiting agent who shall
commit frauds upon tie Government
or recruits, or who shall violate the
instructions issued to govern this re
cruitment, or be guilty of any offence
against military law. No man shall
be recruited who is already in the mil
itary service as a soldier, teamster, la
borer, guide, &c., or who is so employ
ed by the military authorities as to be
of importance to military operations.

Twentpsecond. If it is desired to
put any of the volunteer recruits from
the rebellious Slates into service as.
substitutes bofore• or after the draft,
they must bo sent without expense to
the Government by the recruiting
agent to the district in which the prin

who is drafted or liable to bo drafted

Androw Johnson's I 4 etter of Ao
ceptance,
The following is "the letter .of ion.
Andrew Johnson accepting the nomi
nation of the National Union .Conven
tion for Vivo President of the United
States:
•fal - mtvrr.mt, Tenn., July 2, 1961.
Hon. Win. Dennison, Chairman, and
others, Committee of the National Union
Convention—GENTLEMEN : Your com
munication of the 9th ult., informing
mo of my nomination for the Vico
Presidency of the United States by
the National Union ConventiOni held
at Baltimore, and enlosing a copy of
the resolutions adopted by that body,
was not received until the 25th ultimo.
A reply on my part had boon pro
viously made to the action of the Con
vention in presenting my name, in a
speech delivered in this city, on the
evening succeeding the day of the ad
journment of the Convention, in which
I indicated my acceptance of the dis
tinguished honor conferred by that
body, and defined the grounds upon
which that acceptance was based, sub
stantially saying what I now have to
say. From the comments made upon
that speech by the various presses of
the country to which my attention has
been directed, I considered it to be re
garded as a full acceptance.
In view, however, of the desire ex
pressed in your communication, I will
more fully allude to a few points that
have been heretofore presented. My
opinions on the leading questions at
present agitating and distracting the
public mind, and especially in refer
ence to the rebellion now being wag
ed against the government and auth
ority of the United States, I presume,
are generally understood. Before the
Southern people assumed a belligerent
attitude [and frequently since] I took
occasion most frankly to declare the
views I then entertained in relation
to the wicked purposes of the South
ern politicians. Tho have Since un
dergone but little, if any, change.
Time and subsequent events have
rather confirmed than diminished my
confidence in their correctness.
At the beginning of this great stqug
glo I entertained the same opinion' of
it I do now, and in my place in the
Senate I denounced it as treason, wor
thy the punishment of death, and
warned the government and people of
the impending danger. But my voice
was not heard or councol heeded un,
til it was too late to avert the storm.
It still continued to gather over us
without Molestion from the authorities
at Washington, until at length it broiro
with all its fury upon the country.
And now if we would save the govern
ment from being overwhelmed by it,
we must meet it in the true spirit of
patriotism, and bring traitors to the
punishment duo their crime, and by
force of arms crash out and subdue the
last vestige of rebel authority in every
State. I felt then as now that the
destruction on the government was
deliberately determined upon by wick-

cd and designing conspirators, whOse
lives and fortunes wore pledged to car
ry it out, and that no compromise,
short of an unconditional recognition
'independence of the Southern States,
could have been or could now be pro
posed which they would accept. The
clamor for "Southern rights," as tho
rebel journals wore plea Sod to desig
nate.their rallying cry was not to se
cure their assumed - rights in the Union
and under the Constitution, but to dis
rupt the government and establish
an indeliondent'organization baSOd up
on slavery, which they could at all
times control.
The separation of the Governmonthas
for years been the cherished purpose
of the Southern loaders. Baffled, in
1832, by the stern, patriotic heroism
of 9ndrew Jackson, they sullenly ac
quiesced, only to mature their diabo
lical schemes, and await recurrence of
a more favorable opportnnity to exe
cute them. Then the pretext was the
tariff, and Jackson, after foiling their
schemes of nullification and disunion,
with prophetic perspicacity, warned
the country against tho renowel of
their efforts to dismember the govern
ment.
In a letter dated. May 1, 1833, to
the Rev. A. J. Crawford, after demon
strating the heartless insincerity of
the Southern nullifiers, he said :
"Therefore the tariff was only a pre
text, and disunion-arid a Southern con
foderey the real object. - The next
pretext will be the nogre; 'or slavery
question."
Time has fully verified this predic
tion, and we have now not only "the
negro, or slavery question," at the pre
text, but the real cause of the rebell
ion, and bothinust go down together.
It is vain to aitompt to reconstruct
the Union with the distracting ele
ment of slavery in it. Experience has .
demonstrated its incompatibility With
frOo and republican governments, and
it would be unwise and unjust longer
to continuo it as ono of the institutions
of the country. While it remained
subordinate to the Constitution and
laws of the :United States, I yielded
to i t my support,- but IvheiLit_b_ecame
rebellious and attempted to riso above
the Government and control its action,
I threw my humble influoneo against
it,
The authority of the Government
is supremo and will admit of no rival
ry. No institution can rise above it,
whether it bo slavery or any other
organized power. In our happy
form of government all must he subor
dinate to the will of the people, when
reflected• through the Constitution and
laws made pursuant thereto—Stato or
Federal. This great principle lies at
tho foundation of evory government,
and cannot be disregarded without the
destruction of the government itself.
In the support and practice of correct
principles we can never reach wrong
results; and by rigorously adlicaring
to this groat fundamental truth the
end will be the preservation of the Un
ion and the overthrow of an institu
tion which has made war upon , and
attempted tho destruction of the gov
ernment itself..
The mode by which thisgreat change
—the emancipation of the slave—can
bo effected, is properly found in the
power to amend the Constitution of
tho United States. This plan is effec
tual, and of no doubtful authority;
and while it does not contravene the
timely exorcise of the war power by
the President in his Emancipation
Proclamation, it comes stamped with
the authority of the people themselves,
acting in accordance with the written
rule of the supreme law of the land,
and must therefore, give more gener
al satisfaction and quietude to the
distracted public mind.
By recurring to the principles con,
tallied in the resolutions so Unani
mously adopted by the Convention, I
find that they substantially accord
with my public acts and opinions here
tofore made known and expressed, and
aro, therefore, most cordially endorsed
and approved, and the nomination,
having been conferred without any so
licitation on my part, it is with the
greater pleasure accepted.
ln'accepting the nomination I might
hero close, but I cannot forego the
•opportunity of saying to my old friends
of the Democratic party_ proper ; with
whom I have so long and pleasantly
been associated, that the hour has now
come when that great party eau just
ly vindicate its devotion to true Dem
ocratic policy and measures of expedi
ency. Tho war is a war of groat
principles. It involves the suprema
cy and life of the GoVernment

the other hand, the Government is

enduring,. and its career of honor find
glory just begun. • In a great contest
like this for the existence of free gov
ernment, the path of duty is patriotiam
and principle. Minoy considerations
and questions of administrative policy
should give way to the duty of first
preserving the Government, and then
there will be time enough to wrangle
over the mon and measures pertaining
to its administration.
This is not tho hour for strife and
division among oUrSolies: . Such dif
ferencesof opinion only encourage the
enemy, prolong tho war, and
,Wiisie
the country. Unity of action and
concentration of power should bo our
watchword and rallying cry. This
accomplished, the time will rapidly
approach when their armies in the
fieldthe great power of the rebellion

gallant ofilcors and bravo soldiers, and
ere long they will return to their
homes and firesides to resuneo again

proud consciousness that Ahoy have

4ff Davis Speaks for Himself.
There lately went to Richmond, in
a rather curious way, CoI..TAOtEs and
Mr. GILMORE (otherwise efEdmund
Kirke"), to have a talk with. Jur. DA
VIS. It was going to. the head foun
tain to talk about peace, and the re
sult of tho interview capitally illustra
ted the Niagara Falls conference.
Concerning JEFF Ciews, Mr.
GILMORE, in a letter to the Boston
Transcript, says : "JEFFERSON DAVIS
said to mo last Sunday, (and with all
faults I believe him a man of truth):
'This war must go on till the last:of
this generation fidls in his tracks, and
his children seize his musket and fight
our battle, unless you acknowledge
our right to self-government. We are
not fighting for shivery. -- .T - We are
fightin« for
.independence, and that
or extermination we Will haVe.'".
Hero we see how 'Much sineerity
there was in the professions of peace
by the rebels convened'on the border.
It is not an uncharitable conclusion
that what they wanted most was, to
got to Richmond. To accomplish this
they undertook to pull the wool over
the eyes of "Old Abe," Their success
should teach them a lesson.
4IT DAVIS, speakin g for himself,
says ho wants not and will not consent
to peace that does not acknowledgo
the independence of the South. This
ought to be satisfactory so far as he is
concerned. There is proof, however,
that he does not speak for tho south
ern people. He knows that for him—,
the arch-traitor—there can be no fu
ture. Not so With the people; led at
first but now driven and
.despairing.
For them there is a standing offer of
pardon. They have but to accept it
to have their ardent desiro for peace
gratified. For DAVIS and his fellow
conspirators, there is nothing possible
but to fight on—thero can bo nothing
worse than peace ; whereas, the pooplo
of the South realizo that there can
be no state so bad as that under which
they are groaning.
It may be of no little service to
know that DAvis is as unyielding as
ever. The loyal people of the North
have undertaken to put down the
rebellion of which be is tho head.
Two.thirds of tho territory. it first in
cluded has been wrested from it. Its
armies have been continually beaten
for nearly a year. All there is left of
the rebellion is represented by the
armies of LEE and that which SLIER
mAN has driven from nearly every
stronghold in tho State. of Georgia.
The condition of the entire South is
deplorable and really hopeless. Hat
such a moment there • exists not - the
disposition to yield, there of course
is but ono thing for the Government
to do, which is, to make a finish by
hard blows, and that, too, speedily.
We perhaps ought to thank JEFF. DA
vis for giving us tho best elan reasons
for filling the ranks in responses to
the President's call. There is nothing
else that we can do, except to consent
to the destruction of the. Government,
confess tho superiority of the rebels,
and submit to the terms imposod by
them. VALANDINonAm and a few oth
ers may be prepared for that, but not
the people of the North, who will go '
through with this war as they ever do
with what they undertake.
We commend the testimony of Mr.
Gilmore, toughing Jeff. Davis's peace
ful and lamb like disposition to the
Copperheads, who are continually de
nouncing the war. You see, gentle
men, what the alternative must be, if
