Among the former is that gallant and esti

Of this city, who was reported among the
list of wounded last week. This will be
sad news to the relatives and host of devoted
friends the deceased had. He was origi
nally a member of the Union Guards, Ist
Pennsylvania Reserves, and participated in
the battles under Gen. McClellan before
Richmond. He was honorably discharged
the service on account of being completely
prostrated in health. But having regained
the same, he re-enlisted last Spring, and
was appointed a First Lieutenant in the
203 d Regiment, P. V. He was a brave and
gallant soldier; fearless and prompt in the
discharge of duty, and his loss will be deep
ly felt in his regiment.

A QUEER.. Jtir!.Y.—The Grand Juries of
this county do a great many queer things
sometimes; but the strangest of all their
proceedings which have come under our
observation is that of the present body
ignoring the bill—the Commonwealth vs.
P. Hoover et. a violent and unpro
voked assault upon Philip Huber, formerly
of West Cocalico township, but now of
Reading. The evidence of the prosecutor
was abundantly corroborated in every par
ticular by six. or seven of the most worthy
citizens of the township, who witnessed the
outrage upon a peaceable and unoffending
citizen, and yet, strange to say, this testi
mony was all cast aside, as unworthy of
credence, and the ruffians who committed
the offence were set scott free! Verily,
this is administering justice with a ven
geance! The only possible reason for such
conduct on the part of the Grand Jury, is
the fact that the prosecutor, Mr. Huber, is
a Democrat, and his assailants are rank
Abolitionists, andthat nearly all the Jurors
are of the same black politimli.stripe. But,
is it possible that a Demiierat has no longer
any chance of protection or, even-handed
justice from our Grand Juries and Courts?
It would really appear so; for nobody
doubts but that if the parties had been re
versed and Mr. Huber been the defendant
in the case, a true bill would have been
found against hint without a moment's hesi
tation, and the full penalty of the law
visited upon his head. If this is to be the
rule hereafter, we advise our Democratic
friends not to brig their grievances, grow
ing out of polities, into Court. They had
better try and Afend themselves as best
they can at home, if abased and maltreated
as Mr. Huber was. They cannot expect
justice before a Grand Jury of Lancaster
county.

1 - Mu have received the commendation of
his Excellency, the President of the United
States, for your glorious deeds in the vari
ous conflicts around Nashville on the 15th
and llith ult. You have also received the
commendation of the ('t .mmanding lioneral
of the forces engaged in those conflicts not
only ft,r your splendid achievements on the
field of battle, but for your cheerful imlur
once of privations and hardships, ill the
most inclement woollier, during the long
and vigorous pursuit which followed the
rout of the encfuy ill We vicinity of Nash

As your actual oanniander on the field
and in the pursuit,l desire to add my emu
mentlation to the high enconiums you have
already received, and to tender you my
grateful thanks for your soldierly conduct,
Loth on the field ii battle and in the trying
pursuit.
Without faltering, at the command of
Your di:leers, you repeatedly assaulted the
enemy's strongly entrenched positions and
drove hint from them in confusion and dis
may. When he was utterly routed and no
longer thirst confront you in battle, you at
0110 e commenced the vigorous pursuit, con
tinued it more than a hundred miles at the
most inclement season of the year, over the
most Inisenthle roads and across deep and
difficult streams, which were passed by
your late :done, and until the enemv was
driven in utter disorganization across the
Tennessee river.
The substantial fruits of these glorious
deeds were twenty-four pieces of Artillery,
five Caissons, several; stands of Colors,
many thousand stands of small Arms and
two thousand four hundred and eighty-six
prisoners. Such noble services entitle you
to the lasting gratitude of the Nation.`For
tunately this great success was achieved
with comparatively slight loss to the Corps.
Seven hundred and fifty killed and wound
ed will cover the entire casualties.of the
Corps in the two days conflict.
To the friends of the gallant dead and to
the wounded—and I am sure you will join
me in this tribute of Colltradeship, I offer

periods of a peaceable man's life more de
serving the proverbial name of "1171. ma um I's
quay( el' hritre - than the space of time he is
beguiled into spending in a photographer's
studio. Of itself, the attempt to select your
own best expression of countenance is a
perplexing effort, and the consciousness
that the face you put on, whatever it may
be, will he the One by avhich in all future
time all who look into your friend's album
will knoW you, does not diminish the em
barrassment. You have it vague impres

a fear of looking sly. You wish to look as

the effort to do so lills your mind more

they are terribly aggravated by the well
known interposition of the photographer.
To prevent a tremulous motion of your
head, which the bewildered state of your
feelings renders only too probable, he
werkes it into a horrible instrument called
head rest, which gives you exactly the
appearance as if somebody was holding on

Our Army Correspondence.
Interesting Letter from ...Ajax."
SAYAN/St - AXE, Ga., January 5,1885.
Mnssas. Enrrons: It is natural to infer;
from my long silence, that yourselves and
numerous readers have been under the con
viction that Geist, editor Express , and ex
minister to the Court of Harrisburg, had,
by his ungentlemanlyand dastardly attack
so effectually 'FORGED the chains of submis
sion upon your humble scribbler, that Vul
can himself could not tear them asunder !
or that "Justice," (Godsavethe mark,) cor
respondent • from this wing of the army,
had bound me so tight—a is Prometheus—
to Raccoon Mountain, that "Army Buz
zards," and their names are legion, instead
of gnawing my vitals, rolled logs or stones
on my fingers, so that I could not write.
This impression, by the perusal of my
letter, you will find a mere ruse, for Ajax is
still " alive and kicking," unfettered and
unbound, breathing freely the hostile as
well as pestilential air of Savannah, mingled
occasionally with a snuff of Gulf breeze
from the bosom of the Mexico. The latter
is quite exhilirating. I wish some of your
brave, loudmouthed, stay-at-home heroes,
advisers and dictators—slanderers and villi
fiers—were here to inhale it. It is an infal
lible cure for declining constitutions, and
other hereditary diseases so prevalent and
contagious these piping times of war.
I feel myself under great obligations for
your manly defence. The exposition of my
political complexion I could not have de
fined more clearly or accurately. Ever
have I been a firm, unwavering supporter
of Whig and Republican men and mea
sures. Never have I deviated or even hesi
tated, save on two occasions, when I sup
ported the present efficient Mayor of Lan
caster. Why, I even voted the anti-masonic
ticketwhen Geist was " muling and puking
in his mother's arms."
" 011, for a tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason like a cleanly blight, ex."
Enough of this. Geist knew full well
whilst ulditit ' • the article that it was a
base and cowardly falsehood—a fabrication
destitute of the least shadow of truth, and
bearing upon its very front the impress of
unblushing rascality. As to my loyalty, I
leave that for an appreciating, generous
public to decide. A laennic reply, or rather
a few timely questions to "Justice," and
I've done with this dirty subject.
"Justice!"—What an ass-urnption of ar
rogance is arrayed in this appendage. Pre
posterous signification! "Shoulder knot-"
must assume to if6cotne popular, and in
prospective of a seat in the Legislative
lfalls,—a more appropos "sig.," for it is in
compatible and conflicting with his style of
doing business. Or if he desires to con
tinue under the same cognomen, permit me
to suggest, for his benefit in future, the
study and practice of the mond contained
in the following lines:
Let lustier at the scales preside.
And strictest truth the case decide
The fact is these letters are not written in
the army. 'rite material in its green state
is forwarded to a certain Jeweler's store,
West King street, where it is revised, cor
rected, framed, shaped :Ind dished out to
suit the political atmosphere so congenial
to a certain clique,—trumpeting forth deeds
of valor never perforined—a kind of pulling
machine for a few "higher in authority"
than they cat be if their own merits were
the test.
If Ajax, as he asserted, was " two miles
in the rear,'' where was "Justice" at that
critical period? Was he where he ought to
have been—where his oath of fidelity and
ditty called hint? Or, was he not snugly
ensconced in a retired spot, shadowed by
pines anti cypress, far away from the
" plunging shot," and within a stone's throw
of where Ajax was perforating his assigned
duty? These simple questions are easily
answered, and when answered, 1 beg to
propound some others.
on the morning of the filth of November,
after demolishing all the railroads running
into "Gate City," blowing tip depots, en
gine houses and store houses, tiring interior
and exterior, we bade adieu to the lurid
flames, smouldering ruins, weeping moth
ers, houseless children and snarling canines
of the once. boasted city of Atlanta, and with
knapsacks astride our shoulders—not cars
—we sallied forth, no one knew whither.—
The raid was mysterious, dark, deep, un
decypherable. Prognosticators predicted
Augusta, Wilmington or Charleston, sure;
whilst others, less prophetic, would propose
Savannah or M illedgeville. Speculation as
to our destination ran high, as we had to
depend solely anti entirely for subsistence
on the country for man, horse, mule, jack
ass, jenny, tugger, and divers other little
things; and this, hum, on and through the
"rifest of the rile - enemy's dear home.—
Starvation at the very threshold "stared us
in the face, - but taking into consideration
the text of our g,allant, invincible and tut
terrified Sherman, " Ent.: is NO SUCH
wont) AS I , Al L," we launched into the vor
tex with buoyant hearts, ready to meet any
emergency. For the first two days all was
well, but on the third shades of darkness
erspreati our bite's, and well they might,
for tiurkness was visible in ~very haversack.
" I lard-tack and "sow-belly" had run
out to our souls' discomfiture. What was
to be done? Strangers in a strange land,
without food or raiment, sore feet and heavy
knapsacks. I I,re was a dilemma not to be
sneered at. Relief, however, soon came to
our aid, in the shape of orders from Gen.
Sherman "to forage any and every thing
outside of houses —inside being strictly
prohibited under a heavy penalty. Never
were military mandates more cheerfully
received and promptly obeyed. Mounted
foraging parties, shoeless and hatless pe
destrians, with the "old flag" streaming
in the rear of their inexpressibles, could be
seen striking out in every quarter.
.1.11 was lovely and the goose hung high
The country was thus ransacked for miles
and miles, and thousands of porkers—here
they spring up spontaneously in the woods,
—were charged and forced to surrender, not
withstanding their:pitiful lamentation. The
Constitution, von know, had to be supported
and upheld, or the whole fabric would be
buried in the sandy soil ofGeorgia. "Sweet
potato holes" were ferretted out, probed to
their bottoms, contents extracted and de
voured with a perfect gusto. Torkies,
chickens, geese, ducks and guinea fowls
shared the same unmerciful fate. Bad luck
to their quackery For upwards of twenty
days was this tyrannical crusade on bristle
and feathery tribes, carried on successfully
and vigorously. This mode of warfaring
wax a decided treat to the boys," and the
way they. "picked up" was delightfully no
ticeable in their bold fronts, and soldierly
attitude—" throwiNg out the chest." Horses,
mules, jacks and jennies were also bagged,
of course, not in greasy haversack—"press
ed" into the ti Wiled States service, without
question as to owner,proprietonq ualification
or nature of beast whatever. But to cap the
climax, the most fantastical and ludicrous
sight ever beheld by human age, was the
rapid increase of "colored pop i lashun" as we
plodded along. Passing through towns
and villages dozens could lie seen congre
gated in groups—from the hoary-headed
baboon (IOW!' to the suckling ape,—male
and female, almost:in a perfect state of nu
dity, with their "worldly possessions" on
their heads, grinning from ear to
ear, showing their ivories advantageously,
with lip sufficiently large enough, (as Pat.
says,) for another row of teeth. On our
approach, they would throw up their hands,
assume an imploring position, and clinic
out "hail to sur'licerers, the year ofjubolnnu
surely cunt," anti as the last section filed
by, would "turn in" and with a ghastly
smile follow up the music, to the great
merriment of the "Yanks." They even had
the audacity to salute officers and privates
as " brodders." By the time we readied
Ebenezer river their number exceeded live
thousand. Ilene I ant sorry to say, on ac
coma or`tiwir feeling "brofide'nv - :it home,
who hay( nothing else but " nigger on the
brain," their "proud waves were stay
ed" and some five or six of the "fairer sex
met with watery graves. A guard was
stationed at the bridge, (pontoon,) pre
venting all colored people from crossing,and
when the last live 'Yankee stepped on shore,
the pontoons were taken up to the• great
horror and amazement of the Expre.s.s-ed,
abandoned Africans. When the plot was
discovered—their forlorn situation nakedly
revealed—their cries were shrill and long,
for the beacon light of hope,—Liberty—un
rest rained priyileges—had unexpectedly
fled, leaving but a tinge of ray in the dis
tance. A retrOgade movement could not
be thought of, as Wheeler, with fifteen
thousand cavalry in the rear was an eye
sore, and a "home-thrust." To stern the
maddened stream, whose very bosom foam
ed and lashed whenever the dark protcn
lions clouds hovered ne'er its brink, would
be meeting death half way. Sad 'predica
ment, but their own fault. Soine in their
frantic zeal plunged heedlessly in,—females
at that,—and were swept by the current
into oblivion. I hayesince ascertained that
the whole Brigade, by constructing rafts,
crossed in safety, following up ut "double
quick."
Annals of history,—ancient or modern,—
do not record
. a campaign so hazardous,
long and weary and that too, in the very
heart of " .S'ecesit," crowned with such re
splendent sucbess. It is veritably a blood
less victory, purchased by priceless strategy.
Think over three hundred miles, through
dismal swaps, almost impenetrable cypress
and pine forests, constructing bridges, and
corduroying roads for rules, and finally
taking the City of Savannah, with one hun
dred and fifty pieces of artillery, any amount
of ammunition; and twenty-five thousand
bales of Cotton, driving the enemy across
the river into " South Carolina's sultry
clinic." Well done, thou good and faithful
Sherman. On the very morning of evacua
tion a charge was to lie made through an
alligator swamp,—which was the obsta
cle of postponement, and partially shel
tered the city for the time baing—on the
enemy's breastworks, the undaunted 70th,
as a matter of course, on the skirmish line,
ready to meet their old acquaintance,
" Johnny Reb.," or form an intimacy with
their amphibious neighbors " Bob Alligator,
Jeff. Crocodile," (or any other•monster that
dare obtrude their path, be it Moloch :him
self,) when the' news of the evacuation was
announced.
The 79th Pennsylvania and 69th Ohio, of
the 14th Corps, in conjunction with two reg
iments of the 20th, were the first Yankee
troops to enter its unhallowed precincts and
disturb its equilibrium. They found the
the citizens—for few, very few indeed, had
left the 'city—"flesh and blvoci," and their
hospitalities beyond conception. Tables
were set, groaning beneath theirweight of
good things, and the "0. B. Joyful" flowed
copiously from spouts of an hundred Over
pitchers. Being a strong member of a Tem
perance Society " down East," I Express-ly
declined the proffered bowl! Hah
Savannah City' is decidedly and unequiv
ocally (to my taste) the handsomest city I
have ever met with. The citizens are affa
ble and obliging. Being a commercial port,
navigable to Augusta, an immense trading
business was'carried on in its halcyon days,
but now, alas, a mere spectre. Better times,
however, will loom up again, and the day is
not far distant. In my next, which shall be
speedily forthcoming, I will endeavor to
give you a "taste of its beauty," and why
it is so. appropriately called " Forest City."
Prompted by curiosity I stepped into a
public school—a model at that—and found
all the books, dc., necessary to conduct such
an institution, neatly arranged . on desks,
children absent—perhaps playing truant—
and worse than all, the " Master abroad,"
I presume. Taking advantage of his non
presence, I picked np the birch to proceed
to business, when the following poetical
lines, written legibly on a black-board,
struck my eyes:—
A nation has sprung into life,
Beneath the bright cross of the South;
And now a loud etdtto the strife,
Rings out from the shrill bugle's mouth ;
They gather from morass and mountain ;
They gather from prairie and mart
To drink at Young Liberty's Fountain,
The nectar that kindles the heart.
Then hail to the land of the Pine,
The home of the noble and free,
A Palmetto wreath we'll entwine
ArotMd the altar of Young Liberty.
Comment is unnecessary, but I
couldn't help thinking 'twas learning the
~young idea how too shoot," and of course I
backed out.
Perambulating a little further I described
rising majestically in spiral form, a massive
column of marble, and on approaching
found it to be the Pulaski Square situated
on Bull (what a name) and Gordon streets.
The square itself is an ornament and re
flects credit to the City, as well as meritori
ous gift to the noble Pole whose name it
bears, and for whose sake the proud colossus
was reared. The square is full three hun
dred feet long, each way, studded in paral
lel rows with that much adnared and famous
shade and ornamental tree, "Live Oak."
The location of the monument is central,
occupying about forty square feet, enclosed
with a neat iron railings entwined in laurel
wreaths, supported by cannon posts. The
massive pile towers about sixty feet, taper
ing gradually until it reaches its given
point. The base is substantial sandstone,
four feet high, when the polished marble
takes its place. Here four pillars (cannon)
support a beautiful slab, with an offset on
which is perched—larger than life—the
American Eagle resting firmly with one
foot on the shield containing Temple of
Liberty, and with the other grasping anoth
er shield bearing (as I supposed) the repre
sentation of four friendly powers, festooned
beneath with fig branches in full bearing.
Below this the Godhess of Liberty with
book and pencil in hand is seated on a ledger'
of rocks, apparently in deep meditation,
and a Polish Lancer opposite in full equi
page, with lancer "resting at ease" and
sorrow depicted on his countenance. [The
taste and design is beyond my description.]
Between them as hung on a sign for public
gaze in raised letters, is the following simple
but feeling epitaph:
MOEN
The Ikroie Pole, who Jell mortally wounded fight
fog for American Liberty, at the siege of
" Sewoonah, October oth, 1770.
un opposite side Pulaski is mount
ed on a tine steed, in la nalitaire—expressive
in feature and position (falling,) his dying
moments, or the moment when the mortal
wound was inflicted. Above, on a project
ing ledge, the bare name, " Pulaski." Be
tween this and pinnacle the intervening
spla,e is decOrated by a row of stars and
mourning draperv, alternately, when the
the Goddess of Liberty crowns the whole
structure, holding in one hand a wreath anal
in the other a staff surmounted with the Cap
of Liberty. The work was executed by
Robert E. Launitz, New York, and for de
sign, taste anal neatness cannot by excelled,
only by—l lowell.
The 79th Re , intent is encamped al,out a
mile:from the city. :111 well, save a few new
recruits who have not vet become accli
mated. Col. Hambright has gone home on
furlough. Nothing of interest or import

Look out for Wilmington, N. C., or Charles

In conclusion, if any Lancasterian feels
disposed to visit Savannah, three days' ride
will land him plumb on the Levee, and if
inclined to call upon Ajax, will find him
tented in Chathafn Square, with jocular
Jehu John, from near Ottawa, Illinois, orig
inally a native of the Keystone State, hail
ing from foot of the Allegheny mountains,
better known as "Frosty ,SZniS of Thunder,"
whose gentlemanly deportment is a guar
antee of his excellent qualities. My better
half—l mean toy sleeping mate at present—
" Pat, is of musuem notoriety—who has
breasted the iron rain - so manfully, that
a bullet entering back of his ear, anti pene
trating through roof of mouth, could not
lay him low ; nor the loss of right arm affect
his ardent love and patriotism for his adopt
country. By the assistance of these two
gentlemen, I felt assured, the entertainment
will be agreeable. John E—, of our city,
is still connected with ambtdance train,
doing a SMASHING business occasionally.—
Hoping you had a merry Christmas and
happy New Year, I close.
DO_ The disposition to lay up trea
sures is not wanting in the brethren of
Mr. Beecher's church, as we see from
the following advertisement in the - New
York Evening Post:
"The surplus income .of Plymouth
Church for the present year will be de
voted to the payment of a dividend on
the scrip. As soon as stocks begin to
pay dividends, money can generally be
borrowed on them at the banks, and
they become promising subjects of spec
ulation."
It is comfortable thus to secure the
priceless benefits of religion, and at the
same time lay up the desirable posses
sions of this world. We suppose we
will have Plymouth Church stock now
quoted regularly, along with petroleum,
gold, &c., in the markets. The faithful
will, of course, graduate their nearness
to eternal bliss by the rise in stock, and
encourage their piety by fat dividends:
What will not Beecher and his congre
gation do next?
Release of Governor Jacobs
Governor Jacobs, of Kentucky, has
been unconditionally released from ar
rest by the President. In his letter,
dated yesterday, to him he says :
"You are at liberty to proceed to
Kentcuky, and to remain at large, so
far as relates to any cause now past. In
what I now do I decide nothing as to
the right or wrong of your arrest, but
act in the hope that there is less liability
to misunderstanding among Union men
now, than there was at the time of the
arrest."
The fur trade of St. Paul Mimi., has
grown from $1,400 in 1844, to $300,000 in
1864.

IlousE.—On motion of Mr. Arnold, oflll.,
the Committee on the Judiciary was in
structed to inquire and report whether any
legislation is necessary for the better secu
rity of travellers over the railroads of the
country.
On motion of Mr. Farnsworth, of 111., the
Committee of Ways and Means was in
structed to inquire into the expediency of
removing the tariff on all materials used in
the manufacture of printing paper.
Messrs. Beaman, Rollins, N. H. Robin
son, Baldwin of Mass., and Townsend, were
appointed the special committee to investi
gate the circumstances attending the assault
on Judge Kelly.
The I fonsc; resumed the consideration of
the question of privilege raised by Mr.
Brooks yesterday, based on General But
ler's letter to him, asking an explanation
concerning Mr. Brooks' attack on him in
debate.
Mr. Boutwell, of Mass., who represents
the district in which Gen. Butler resides,
said when Mr. Brooks made his attack he
regarded it in harmony with the oft-repeat
ed declarations made by the Secessionists
and their Northern 'sympathizers. Before
Gen. Butler sent his note to Mr. Brooks,
but on the same day, he addressed a letter
to the Speaker of the House, asking for an
investigation of the charges against him.
He desired to put to issue every act of his
public life affeetiS his integrity or personal
honor, so that, if guilty, he (Butler) might
be prosecuted in the Courts, and, if not
guilty, the House might take action to
vindicate its dignity by the punishment of
the public calumniator. As to the note of
Captain Clarke, who delivered it, had he
been dressed in grey, the gentleman would
not have been so affrighted.
Mr. Boutwell first took up Mr. Brook's
charge that General Butler was a gold rob
ber, and had the report of a commission
read, and also letters from Butler to show
that the firm of Smith & Co., from which
the Fio,ooo in gold were taken, were dis
covered to be bitter, active, and unrelenting
rebels, who refused to take the oath
of allegiance so long as General Butler
was in command of New Orleans. It
further appeared from Butler's letters
that he used the money to pay off the troops
who had long been without funds,this money
was repaid to him and he was ready tohand
it over to the War Department, provided he
could be released from all claims of Smith
Lit Co.
Mr, Boutwell in concluding appealed to
Mr. Brooks, in view of the mass of evidence
he had adduced, either to reaffirm or retract
his slander on General Butler. Mr. Bout
well claimed that Butler had now been
thoroughly vindicated.
Mr. Brooks proceeded to reply, first no
ticing the remarks made yesterday by Mr.
Stevens, which he said did not even rise to
the dignity of par4argentary blackgaard
tir,o.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24
The Force of Habit
The Abolitionisti have become so ha
bituated to fraud in elections, that they
cannot avoid it even where there are
do political opponents tobe cheated. . To
vote early and often Is a part of their
political creed; it was one of the pre
cepts of the old KnoW Nothing lodges,
and is an injunction of the Loyal League
platform. And so faithful are the
" black rascals" to it thatthey vote dou
ble when there is no necessity for it.—
For instance, in the organization of the
Massachusetts Legislature, where there
is no opposition party; the candidate for
Speaker had more votes than there are
members of the House, although a num
ber were absent. And in the Republi
can State Convention here recently,
there were some forty more votes cast
than theie were members. This is the
way the blacks carry elections ; they
vote early and often. Indeed, fraud is
the chief characteristic of that party.
So remarks the N.H., Patriot, and very
truthfully too.
ige" - The new ten cent shinplaster is
to be printed on paper made of corn
husks. The Newark Journal says:
As this issue bears the same relation to
genuine money, that the husk does to
the golden grain, the quality of paper
selected is very appropriate. The old
saying, "not worth shucks," ought to
come in vogue again.
Our Consul in Havana haS com
municated the intelligence that the re
bels are engaged in improving the har
bocof St. Marks, situated on St. Mark's
river, on the west coast of Florida, for
the purpose of opening there au exten
sive blockade-running trade. St. Marks
is connected, by a railroad twenty-six
miles in length, with the capital of the
State of Florida, Tallahassee, of which
it is the port. The harbor can be enter
ed by vessels drawing eight feetof water.
The following statement of the
numerical strength of the rebels was
made in the Confederate Congress on
the 14th instant:
" Mr. Foster, of Alabama, said that he
had made a calculation that there were
enough of men in the Confederacy be
tween the ages of eighteen and forty
five years, to protect this Uovernment
against any .enemy for forty years to
come. There were seven hundred thou
sand persons in the Confederacy between
eighteen and forty-five years of age."

H. CASSIDY, DI. D.
He sleeps, he sleeps, the sleep of death,
Our friend from earth is riven,
Gone is that never-dying breath,
Which God alone has given.
He died resigned as Christians die,
And longed for bliss unfurled,
To meet his better fate on high,
In yonder spirit world.
As we are now, so he has been,
He saw what we now see,
He sees what eye has never seen,
Is what the blest shall be.
