The Democratic Watchman , now that
our three months soldiers are about to re
turn, is beginning to tremble in its boots.—
The Editors cannot conceive how to look
those honest potriotic men in the face after
abusing tbo cause for which they were fight
ing for the last three months. " A Black
Republican war," " Old Abe Lincoln's war"
&0., &c., are some of the expressions used by
this paper in regard to the war. Now as we
before said fearing the indignation of the
returning soldiers, tbty seek by hypocracy,
and lying, to shift the resposibility upon the
Centre DEMOCRAT and Central Press. You
eannot do it Gentlemen. You cannot cow
cover up your balf-heartedness in support of
the best Government the world ever saw.—
You have written a record against yourselves
tbat nothing but the end of time can obliter
ate. The people will bold you in a strict
account. Even the honest Democrats of the
County refuse to endorse your lying and
treasonable paper.
An Interrogation.
.Will the Editors of the Watchman please
tell the honest people of Centre County what
favors they are expecting trom the hands of
Mr, Vallandigham the traitor Congressmen
from Ohio ? Mr. V refures to vote men
and money to aid Mr. Lincoln, the constitu
tional head of the Government. The
Watchman endorses hie course, calls him a
bold and fearless champion, no demagogue,
an honest man Sea., while all parties in the
loyal states, —except perhaps the New York
Day Book— unite in writing him down not
only an ASP, but a perjured TRAITOR of the
deppest dye. Do the Editors of the Watch
man wish to be classed in the some catego
ry with Mr. Yallandingham ? Gr do they
thipk the people are fools that they can
not understand his and their course ? Do
think that they c&n abuse the war and the
constitutional Government and then ask the
people to consider them patriots ? We leave
you gentlemen in the hands of an intelligent
and patriotic people.
God help yoa, when their time comes, to
visit you with their honest indignation.
Ail Imposition.
On Tuesday last the news of a Great Battle
was telegraphed to this place and as a mat.-
ter of course every body was wonderfully ex
cited and eager to hear the news. It was a
long dispatch and aecessariily took some
time to telegraph it. During this time the
people waited patiently tor the news. But
when finished, the crowd was told the die
patch would not be read to them, neither
would it be placed upon the bulletin board,
hut that Mr. Kurtz of the Press would print
it as soon as possible, when they could get it
by paying him for it. Then it was that the
ire of the populace was aroused. They
must wait an hour or two longer to hear the
details of the fight, said to have been so dis
astrous to our forces. A previous dispatch
said that the fourth Pennsylvania Regiment
to which Capt. Snyder's company, of this
place, was attached, was in the fight. Per
haps this dispatch for which we were wait
ing had news of the death of some of our
neighbors; Mr. Kurtz knew but he would'nt
tell. We must wait a hour or two more to
BSO if it were so—to see if any of our hus
bands, our brothers, or car children were in
the fight, and if any of tbem bad fallen. —
And why ? To give Mr. Kurtz a chance to
make a little loose change. He said it was
to pay Mr. Green for his timo and trouble
in telegraphing the news. This was not ne
cessary as the crowd was willing to pay Mr.
Green, amply for his trouble, if he asked it,
but he did not ask it, or, a9 we heard a doz
en men say, the amount would have been
raised immediately. Everybody condemned
the act and bui very few purchased the ex
tra, as the first one that came out was read
aloud to the crowd.
Death of Col. James Cameron.
In the midst of the congratulation and
enthusiasm created by the triumph of tbfe
federal forces yesterday, during the batile of
Bull's Run, the announcement of the death
of Col. James Cameron, of the New York
Seventyxninth (Highland) Regiment, cast a
deep gloom over the city ot Ilarrisburg, and
filled the hearts of his friends and relatives
here with that poignant sorrow felt onlv
when the gallant andt he brave are cut down
while serving their country and their race.
Col CaniPron was a native of Pennsylva
nia, the next oldest brother of the Secretary
oi War. He waß born, we believe, in May
town, Lancaster county, learned the printing
business, and studied law with Ex-Presi
dent Buchanan in Lancaster city. In the
profession of the law, he had but little taste
or inclination to its dull routine of business,
but was particularly brilliant and powerful
as a journalist, in which enpity, had ho di
rected the energies that he afterwards
brought to bear in positions where it was
not possible for him to gain distinction, no i
man in this country could have boasted a
fairer reputation than that which James
Cameron might have achieved with his pen.
During Governor Portei's administration,
Col. Cameron was appointed superintendent
of motive power on the Philadelphia and
Columbia railroad, and after serving in that
position for several years, be retired to a
farm in Northumberland county. There he
lived and enjoyed the confidence and re
spect of his neighbors, both for the integrity
of his purpose and the hospitality and gener
osity of hia character. When the war of
rebellion was inaugurated, be left the retreat
of his home, to serve his country, and vras
chosen almost unanimously as the Colonel of
the New York Seventy-ninth regiment.
The blow or the bullet which dealt death
to Col. Cameron, deprived the country of one
who adored its glory and was devoted to its
prospetuitv. lie was an American in all
his impulses—while all his impulses were
frank, brave and indipendent. Those who
knew him best, will not refuse to yield to
bis memory this just meed of praise ; and
e?en those who were the least acquainted
with the man, will admit that in James
Cameron there tvere mingled those qualifica
tions of head and heart which are essential
in the character of a gentleman and a sol
dier.— Harrisbnrg Telegraph.

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, 3 :50, P. M.
Our courier has not yet returned. Quar
termaster Barton, of the Second regiment of
Michigan, has just passed, and says that of- ,
fkers, men and citizens at Centreville, say a |
general engagement of the whole line has
taken piace three and a half miles this side I

Fairfax, 4:45 P. M.—Two of our couriers
have returned, but were unable to communi
cate in person with Gen. McDowell. He says
out troops have taken three masked batter
ies and forced the rebels to fall back*to Re

THIRD DISPATCH.
The most intense excitement is eyerywhere
| existing to hear further from the field of bat
| tie. Every returning spectator of the events
, is immediately surrounded to relate bis ob
servations. The demand for intelligence is
unsatiated. Man} unauthorized rumors pre
vail, which serve to confuse the truth. The
smoke of the" battle could be seen from emi
nences in Washington.
A number of members of Congress, and
even ladies, went to the neighborhood of
Bull Run to witness the battle. One of them
reports Col. Hunter of the Third Cavalry,
act'ng as Major General, as seriously, if not
mortally wounded. It is stated with confi
dence in all quarters that' Col. Cameron, of
the Seventy ninth regiment, brother of the
Secretary of War, and Col. Slocum, of the
Second Rhode Island Regiment, were killed.
FOURTH DISPATCH.
A most severe battle was fought to-day at
Bull's Run bridge. The conflict was desper
are, lasting over nine hours. The programme
as stated in the first dispatch, was carried
oat until the troops met with a succession of
masked batteries which were attacked with
vigor and succes after severe loss of life. —
Our truops advanced as follows :
Col. Richardson, who distinguished him
self in the previous engagement, proceeded
on the left, with the four regiments of the
Fourth brigade, to hold the battery hill on
the Warranton rtad in the vijinity of the
place where the last battle was fought. The
Hank movements were described in the first
dispatch. Scfineck's and Sherman's brit
gades, of Tyler's division, advanced by the
I \ arranton road while Heintzleman's and
' Hunter's divisions, took the fork of Warren
: 'on road to move between Bull Run and
Manassas Junction. Key's brigade remain
ed at Centreville.
Information was received by Tyler's com
mand of the existence of the enemy's battery
commanding the road. Our troops were then
formed in battle array, the Second New
York and Second Ohio on the left, the Sec
ond Ohio, and Second Wisconsin and Seven
ty-ninth, Thirteenth and Sixty-ninth New
York on the right. Col. Miles' division fol
lowed in the rear.
The first range gun was fired by Sherman's
battery at ten minutes of seven. The rebels
did not return his shot until an hour and a
half afterwards. When Hunter's division
camo up another battle became general.—
Col. Hunter's movement to gain the rear of
enemy was almost a success, The enemy's
position opened on by several of Carlisle's
howitzers, followed by slight skirmishing.—
The rebels rapidly received reinforcements
from Manasses Junction after the attack was
opened.
ibe battle consisted in a succession of
fires from masked batteries, which opened in
every direction. When one was silenced its
place was supplied by two, and in the daring
charges of our infantry in unmasking thoin.
The Sannuel Ohio and Second New York mi
litis were marched by flank through the
woods by a Dew made road within a few
miles of the main road when they came on a
battery of eight guns wiih four regiments
flanked in the rear.
Our men were immediately ordcied to lie
down on either 6ide of the road, in order to
allow two pieces of artillery to pass through
and attack the work, when this battery open
ed upon us, and killed, on the third round,
Lieut. Dempsy, of company G, New York
Second, at.d Mr. Maxwell, a drummer, and
seriously wounding several others.
Our troops were kept for fifteen or twenty
minutes under a galling fire, not being able
to exchange shots with the enemy, although
within stones throw of their batteries. They
succeeded in retiring in regular order and
with their battery. The most gallant charge
of the day was made by the New York Sixty
ninth, Seventy ninth and Thirteenth, who
rushed up upon on one of the enemy's bat
teries, firing as they proceeded, wi-h perfect
eclat and attacking it with the bayonet's
point. The yell of triumph now seemed to
carry all before it. They found that the reb
els had abandoned the battery only taking
one gun, but the success was acquired only
after a severe loss of life, in which the sixty
ninth severely suffered ; and it was reported
that the Lieut. Colonel was amongst the first
killed.
The Zouaves also distingusked themselves
by their spirited assault on the batteries at
point of the bayonet, but it is feared that
their loss is immense. Up to the hour of 3
o'clock P. M, it was generally understood
that we had hemmed in the enemy entirely
and that they were gradually retiring, that
Ilubter had diiveo them back in the rear,
that Heintzleman's command was meeting
with every success, and that it required but
the reserves of Tyler's division to push on to
Manassas Junction.
A Mississippi soldier was taken prisoner
by Hasbrouck. of the Wisconsin Second. He
turned out to bo Brigadier Quartermaster
Pryor, cousin of Roger A. Pryor. He was
captured with bis horse, as he by accident
rode into our lines. He discovered himself
by remaiking to Hasbrouck, "We are get*
ting badly eut to pieces." " What regimeDt
do you belong to?" asked Hasbrouck. "The
Nineteenth Mississippi," was the answer.—
"Then you are my prisoner," said Has
brouck. • -
From the statement of this prisoner it ap
pears that our artillery has created great hav
oc among the rebels, of whom there is from
thirty to forty thousand in the field under
command of Beauregard, while tbey have a
reserve of seventyfive thousand at the Junc o
tion. Ho describes an officer most-promi
nent in the right distinguished from the rest
by his white horse as Jeff. Davis,
He confirms the previous report of a regi
ment of negro troops in the rebel forces, but
says it is difficult to get tbem in proper disci
pline in battle array.
The position of the enemy extended in
three lines from a triangle, the apex front
ing the centre of our column. The erea seems
to have been filled by masked batteries. At
seven o'clock this evening guns were still
heard firing at short intervals.
WASHINGTON July 22-
Cur troops, after taking three batteries
and gaining a great victorv were eventually
repulsed and commenced a retreat on Wash-
I ington. The retreat is in good order, with
I the rear well covered by a good column.—
Our loss is from two thousand five hundred
to three thousand. The forlifvcations around
Washington are strongly reinforced by fresh
troons.
Further Details of the Battle.
After the latest information was received
from Centreville, at half past seven o'clock
last uight, a series of events took place in
the iDtensest degree disastrous. Many con
*fused statements are prevalent, but enough
is kuown to warrant the statement that we
have suffered in a degree which has cast a
1 gloom ever the remnant of the army, and
excited the deepest melancholy throughout
Washington. The earnage has been tremen
dously heavy on both sides, and on ours is
represented p.b frightful.
We were advancing and taking the mask
ed batteries gradually but shurely, and dri
ving us back, wheD a panic among our troops
suddenly occurred and a regular stampede
took place.
It is thought tbat General McDowell un
dertook to msike a stand at or about Centre
ville, but the panic was so fearful that the
whole army became dem >ra izod, and it was
impossible to check them either at Centre
ville or Fairfax Court House.
Gen, MoDowell intended to make another
stand at Fairfax Court House but our forces
being in full retreat he could not accomplish
the object. Beyond Fairfax Court house the
retreat was kept up until the men reached
their regular encampments, a portion of
whom returned to them but a still larger
portion coming inside of the line of entrench
ments.
A largo number of the trcops in their re
treat fell on the wayside from exhaustion
and scattered along the entire route all the
way from Fairfax Court House. The road
from Bull's Ruu to Contreville was stewed
with knapsacks, arms, &c. Some of the
troops deliberately threw away their guns
and opportenances the better to facilitate
their travel;
Gen. McDowell was in thG rear at the re
treat exerting himself to rally his men, but
with only partial effect. The latter part of
the army, it is said, made their retreat in
good order. He was completely exhausted,
having slept but little for three nights. Ilis
orders on the field did not at all times reach
those for whom they were intended.
It is supposed tbat the force sent against
our troops coneisted, according to a prisoners
statement, of about, 30,000 men including a
large number of eavalry, He futhcr says
that owing to the reinforcements from Rich
mond, Strawsburg and other points. The
enemy's effective force was 90,000 men.
According to the statement of the Fire
Zouaves they have only about two hundred
men left from the slaughter, while the Sixty-
Dinth New York regimeDt has suffered fright
fully in killed and wounded.
Sherman's Carlisle's and the West Point
batteries were taken by the enemy, and the
eight seige thirty-two pound rifle cannon.—
The latter being too cumbrous to remove
they were left two miles the other side of
Centreville. Such of the wounded as were
brought to the Centrevilie hospital were left
there alter haviDg their wounds properly
dressed. The surgeon in attendance there
was Frank H. Hamilton,
The panic was so great that the attempt
to rally them to a stand at Centreville wa9
entirely in vain. If a firm stand bad been
made there, our troops could have been rein
forcid and much disaster prevented.
General McDowell was thus foiled in his
well arranged plane. It is sufficient that all
the provision trains belonging to the United
States Government are saved. Some regi
mental wagons were overturned by accident,
or the wheels came cff, and had therefore t 0
be abandoned. Large droves cf cattle were
saved by being driven back in the advance
of the retreat.
It is supposed that Gen. Mansfield will
take command of the fortifications on the
other side of the river, which are able, it is
said by mili'ary engineers, to bold them
against any force the enemy may bring.—
Largo rifled cannons and mortars are being
rapidly sent over and moan ed.
An officer just from Virginia at half past
ten reports that the road from Centrevelle to
the Potomac is strewed with stragglers. The
troops are resuming the occupation of the
for tifications and entrenchments on the line
of the Potomac.
Col. Marston, of a New Ilamshire regi
ment, reached here this morning. He was
wounded. Col. Heintzleman was a'3o wound
ed in the wrist. In addition to those repor
ted yesterday it is said that Col. Wilcox, the
commander of a brigade, was killed. Also,
Capt. McCook, brother of Capt. McCook of
Ohio.
The city this morning is in the most in
tense excitement. Groups are everywhere
gathered, inquiring the latest news. * Wag
ons are continually arriving bringing dead
and wounded. Soldiers are relaiing to greedy
listeners the probable events of last night
and early this morning.
Both telegraph and steamboat communica"
tion with Alaxandria are suspended to-day
to the public. The greatest alarm exists
throughout the city, especially among the
female portion of the population.

WASHIMGTON, July 22.
The Rhode Island Battery was taken by
tfie Rebels at the bridge across Ball's Run,
where their retreat was cut off, all the horses
being killed.
It is reported that the Rebel Black Horse
Cavalry made an attact on the rear of the
retreating army, when the latter turned and
fired, killtog all but six ol the party.
The Seventy-first Jiew York lost about
half of their men.
The following regiments were engaged in
the fight:—First, Second, and Third Oonnec
tiout; Second Maine; regiments of Regu
lars, composed of companies of the Second,
Third and Eighth and Fourteenth New York
Militia; First and Second Rhode Island;
Seventy first New York; SecoDd New iiams
pshire ; Third Massachusetts ; First Minne
sota ; First Michigan ; Eleventh and Thir
teenth New York; Twentieth Maine; Sec
ond, Fourth and Fifth Maine, and the Sec
ond Vermont, besides the several batteries.
The following is a partial list of the killed
and wounded.
Officers.
Killed.— Captain McCook, Capt. Gordon,
Company 11. Eleventh Massachusetts ; Capt.
Fov, Company 11. Second Rhode Island;
Colonel Siocura, Second Rhode Island ; Col.
Colquin, Twenty s;cond New York ; Colonel
V/iieox, of the First Michigan.
Wounded —The Colonel of the New York
Second ; Colonel Farnham, of the Fire Zou
aves ; Colorel Hunter, Colonel Corcoran,
Colonel Clark, of the Eleventh Massachu
setts ; Captain Recketts, of the Artillery.
Two New York Regiments have gone over
to Virginia.
It is also reported that 4000 cf our troops
have been sent back towards Fairfax, from
the other side ol the river.
It was the remnant of the Fire Zouaves
that was attacked by the Black Horse Cav
airy, and repulsed them, leaving but six of
tbem to return. This gallant regiment now
numbers bul a couple of hundred.
It i§ probable that the number of killed
and wounded is magnified, by tho large num
ber who are missiDg—probably wandering
through the woods.
It is represented in many quarters that the
Ohio Regiments shared the greatest conster
nation, probably from the want cr confidence
in the officers. It is.known that on the day
previous to the battle a large number pub
licly protested against being led by General
Scßenck. It wr.s only through the importu
nities of Col. McCook, in whom they placed
confidence, that they were prvented from
making a more formidable rebellion.
•The Pennsylvania Fourth was not in the
battle, having left for home on the morning
of the battle, their time of service having ex
pired.
It was known to our troops at the time of
the battle yesterday, that Johnson had form
ed a connection with Beauregard on the night
of the first action at Bull's Run. Our men
could distinctly hear the cars coming in to
Manassas Junction and the cheers with which
the Confederates hailed their newly arriving
comrades. They knew that the enemy was
cur superior in numbers and in their own
positioD.
These facts were further confirmed by pris
oners taken, deserters and spies, but were
not probably knawn at Washington, and the
officers, in leading our men into action, only
obeyed orders.
Gen. SchencU, as well as other field offi
cers, acted admirably. He collected his for
ces and covered their retreat, aud up to.the
last minute, was personally engaged in the
endeavor to rally his men to make a stand
at Centreville.
It was the arrival of fresh reinforcement*
to the eneroy, in cumbcra, that ti'-n_
ed the scale of battle. The enemy, before
uu, might, perhaps, have more to boast of,
it they had followed up their advantage last
night.

WASHINGTON, July 22.—Received 9 P.M.
—'lhe estimated number of killed and woun
ded al the battle of Yesterday, is gradually
decreasing by arrivals from the woods and
surrounding country. Six hundred of the

It is now understood that Col. Wilcox, of
the First Michigan Regiment, acting Briga
dier-General, is not dead, as reported, but
badly wounded.

REBELS REPORTED
WASHINGTON, July,' 23.
Up to this time the War Department have
refused ali flags of truce, for the purpose of
bringing off the dead and wonnded.
Col. Cameron lies on the field where he
died at the head of his column, as they char
ged upon a battery.
A gentleman from the Valley of Virginia
says that Gen. Johnston left Winchester on
Thursday noon, and reached Manassas Junc
tion during the battle on Sunday, with a
force of 29,000 strong. He left behind only
his sick, to the number of 1800.
It was cocfidenrly asserted at Winchester
that General Jshnston and Col, Hunter were
killed at the Junction, and it was rumored,
but not confirmed, that Gen. Jackson was
also killed.
Our lines are ROW drawn in to the original
points from which the enemy advanced to
Fairfax. They only run two miles from Al
andria. Our pickets and outposts will no
doubt be fearfully harrassed and butohered
by the rebels.
The heavy seige guns to throw balls sev
en miles will now doubtless be turned upon
us, but Washington can bo held against any
force the rebels can bring.
Col. Wilcox commander of the Second
Brigade, Third Diuisioa is a prisoner and
is hut slightly wounded.
President Lincoln drove over the Potomac
and visited the camps. He spoke a few en
livening words to each regiment and re
quested all to remain for th 9 present. They
all voted unanimously to stay.
Col. Einstein, of the Twenty-sixth Penn
sylvania Regiment, returned to the field of
battle at eleven o'clock on Sunday night, and
brought off six pieces of artillery, which he
delivered to the commanding officer on the
Potomac yesterday evening.
Col. Einstein reports that the field was
thin clear, and not an enemy in sight.
The President and Secretary of War are
vigorously at work re-organizing a powerful
army.
Within the last twenty-four hours over
60,000 fresh treops, with a number of batter
ies, have offered their services and been ae
cepted.
A number of regiments have arrived, and
every day will bting immense reinforcements
to Washington.
Ten new regiments will be in Baltimore,

Preparations for offensive operations are
going on vigorously.
Gen. McDowel has returned to his head
quarters at Arlington Heights, and the reg
iments comprising bis command will resume
their positions. " t
Last night some three hundred Wagons
came to Fairfax Court House with wounded
and others on horseback were taken to Al
exandra. The rebels charged with great
inhumanity upon the wounded soldiers on
the battle field, killed the wounded and fired
into the hospitals. We had not sufficient ar
tilery on the field which is much to be regret
ed as it would have changed the aspect ma
terially.
At the battle yesterday tbe Massachusets,
Rhode Island and the New York Regiments
were tbe most cut up.
The Sixty ninth. Seventy-ninth and Sev
entyfhfit New York Regiments, aod the
fire Zouaves were severely dealt with.
Tne loss on cur side is something over
two the thousand.
Col. Earnam of the fire Zouaves was slight
ly wounded.
It is rumored here that the New York
Seventh Regiment have tendered their ser
vices again.
FROM HEADQUARTERS OF~ THE ARMY.
WASHINGTON, July 21st—received 9 P. M.
—The orders to Gen. McDcwell to move for
ward at G o'clock yesterday, were suspended
until early this morning. Our troops in the
meantime were employed in cutting A road
through tne woods, in order to flank iiie
enemy's batteries.
The Secretary of War has received a dis
patch that the fighting was renewed at Bulls
Run this morning. Our troops engaged the
enemy with a large force, silenced their bat
teries, and drove the Secessionists to the
Junction.
The city of Washington is wild with ex
citement and joy. The fireing was distinctly
heard here in the direction of Bull's Run,
from eleven until three P. M. At seven this
evening the reverberation was still audible.
A gentleman who arrived hero to-night
says that at three this afternoon the Second
and Third New J- r ey Regiments were or
dered to march forward from Vienna, first
sending baek their baggage to 3amp Tren
ton. Other troop- were hurrying forward to
the scene of hostilities. There is great, mil
itary bustle and excitement in the direction
of all the campr.
For the Democrat.
The Next Treasurer.
The people have a right to say who shall
he their public servants, and it is, therefore,
for them to decide who shall be the next
County Treasurer. The people of Milesburg
ar.d Bald Eagle Valley beg leave to recom
mend to their fellow citizens of Centre coun
ty, C. G. Ryman, as a candidate for that of
fice. Mr. Rvman is a reliable man in every
sense of the word. Starting as he did, a poor
boy, without fritnds, without money, with
out what some people call a good name, he
has made for himself tbe proud character of
reliability, integrity and the strictest hones
•y of purpose in all his dealings with his fel- 1
low meD.
He has always been one of the strongest ,
and most energetic friends of the RIGHT, and
we bold that he deserves from his party the j
highest reward. Take care of your working
men, is a good motto for any party, hut more '
especially the Republican, which claims to .
be, and really is, the poor mans party, in fa- 1
vor of free homes, free labor and free speech. (
If the workingmen of Centre county would 1
honor themselves, and make out for them
<
selves place and power, we hold that instead | ,
of being devided by party politicians they
should stick together and vote for men of their
own class. By so doing they will soon have
their wrongs made right, and their own |
claims to posts of honor and profit acknowl
edged by those who now ignore them. We
hope that the claims of Mr. Ryman will not i
be overlooked in the Convention by the work
ingmen, farmers and mechanics of Centre
county. BALD EAGLE VALLEY.
The movements of the Secretary of
War, as will be seen by the following para*
graph, which we clip from the account of the
battle of Bull Run, in the New York Evening
Post of last night, are prompt ami extensive,
end perfectly characterises of the vigorous
labor of the man:
" Much to the surprise of all, the Secreta
ly of War arrived at Bull Run this (Satur
day) morning, having left Washington last
evening and halted for the night at or near
Fairfax Court House. He came attended by
one or two officers, and by a hazardous route.
Indeed, his trip is accounted very venture
pome. At ten o'clock, in company with Gen
McDowell, Gen. Tyler and Gov. Sprague, he
reviewed the brigade under command of Col.
Keyes, stationed half a mile east of this
place, and after repaired to see the Seventy
ninth, of which bis brother is the Colonel.
He will probably return to Washington this
evening.

A world offers homage to thee.

When borne by the red, white, and blue.
When borne by the red, white, and bine,
When borne by the red, white, and blue,

The ark then of freedoms foundation,
Columbia rode safe through the storm.'
