TIKS SONG OP THE FLIINE.
BY HRS. A. M. SCHULTZ.
Awake, awake! for, the flaming east
Is red with the coming day,
My struggling breast disdains its rest,
And I baste o'er the hills away,
Up from the valley!—up froni the plain!
Up from the river's side! -
Fort come with a gush, andatorrent's rush,
And therell wealth in my swelling tide.
I am fed by the melting rills that start
Where the sparkling snow -peaks gleam;
My course is free, and with greatest glee
I leap in the sun's broad beam,
Though torn from the channels deep and old
I' ave worn through the craggy hill,
Yet I flew in pride as my waters glide,
And there's mirth in my music still.
I sought the shore of the sounding sea
From the far Sierra's height,
With a starry breast and a snow-capped
crest,
I foamed in a path of light;
But they bore me thence in a winding way—
They fettered me like a slave,
And as serfs of old were sold for gold,
i t , So they bartered my soil-stained wave.
Through the dim tunnel, down the dark
shaft
,
Search for the shining ore;
Hoist it away to the light of day
Which it never has seen before!
Spade and shovel, mattock and pick—
Fly them with eager haste;
For my golden shower is sold by the hour,
And the drops are too dear to waste.
Lift me aloft to the mountain brow;
Fathom the deep blue vein!
And I'll sift the soil for the shining spoil,
As I sink to the valley again;
The swell of my swarthy breast shall bear
Pebble and rock away,
Though they brave my strength, they shall
yield at length,
But the glittering gold shall stay.
Mine is no stern and warrior march,
Nor stormy trump and drum;
No banners gleam in my darkened stream,
As with conquering step I come;
But I touch the tributary earth,
Till it owns a monarch'Ksway,
And with eager hand, from a conquered
land,
I bear its wealth away.
Awake! awake!—there are loving hearts
In the land you left afar;
There are tearful eyes in the homes you prize,
As they gaze on the western star,
Then up from the valley!—up from the hill!
Up from the river's side!
For I come with a gush and a torrent's rush,
And there's wealth in my swelling tide.
Pennsylvania Military Agency
We take the following interesting facts
from the report of Col. Fr. Jordan, Military
agent of the Commonwealth, at Washing
ton, for 1865:
The act of the Legislature, making it the
duty of this agency to collect the pay, bounty
and pensions, for our soldiers, and for the
relatives of such as are deceased, free of
charge, was approved on the 4th of May,
1864. As soon as practicable thereafter, I
prepared the books, forms and blanks neces
sary to the organization of this branch of
duties. The first claim was filed on the 6th
of June, 1864; and a total of 729 applications
had been entered at the date of my last
annual report.
Since then one thousand nine hundred
and twenty applications have been filed for
arrears of pay, bounties, ke., and one thou
sand and seventy-five have been audited,
and' certificates issued, or money paid, as
follows :
To fathers of deceased soldiers,
385, amounting to, . . . $87 4 141 66
To mothers of- deceased soldiers,
88, aring to . . . 18,762 16
To wl o of deceased soldiers,
149, a x n:F ounting to . . 31,327 22
To brothers and sisters of deceased
soldiers, 8, amounting to . .
To widowed mothers and wives
of prisoners, 14, amounting to 1,407 36
To discharged soldiers, 431, _ _
amounting to
Total, 8222,571 28
Of the total number of these claums filed
this year and last year, one hundred and
two have been rejected, and one thousand
three hundred and thirty remain yet undis
posed of.
In addition to the above,three hundred and
fifty-three applications for pensions have
been prepared and filed. One hundred and
twenty-six have been allowed, and certifi
cates issued therefor as follows:
To widows, 74, amonnting to, . $9,458 84
To mothers, 4, 66 . 1,397 59
66
To invalids, 48, . 2,090 63
Totals, 126 ' $12,947 06
Of the total number of claims filed for
pensions this year, and last year,three hun
dred and fifty-nine yet remain to be finally
acted upon by the pension office, . ; : One
_hundred and ninety certificates for pay and
bounty were received from soldiers and
their representatives, and the money col
lected upon them and paid over,amounting
to forty-five thousand one hundred and fifty
one dollars and eighty-five cents.
Thirty-five pension vouchers were also
received and collected for the parties entitled
thereto, amounting to two thousand one
hundred and eighty-three dollars and sixty
two cents.
Thus making the total amount collected
by this agency, during the fiscal year, two
/tundred and eighty-two thousand eight
hundred and fifty-three dollars and seventy
six cents.
During the past year transportation has
been issued by this agency, as follows:
For the remains of deceased soldiers, 313
For persons to accompany the same, 331
For other persons, . . . . 250
Total, 894
The excess of persons over bodies trans
ported is accounted for by the fact that in
some cases the parties failed to recover the
remains, and in other cases the parties were
female relatives, and out of money, when
transportation would be issued for twl.
The transportation for persons not in
charge of bodies, was nearly all for sol. tiers
discharged from Pennsylvania regiments,
some sick, some wounded, and all without
the means to get home.
PROMPT AND HONORABLE Acrrox.—We
clip the following handsome notice of the
prompt way in which some of our Phila
delphia Insurance Companies do business,
from the Crawford Democrat, Meadville, Pa.
As our readers well remember, the front
of Messrs. Gill &Shryock's hardware build
ing, which is one of the best in town, was
greatly damaged by the fire of the 26th of
last month. The building being insured in
the Philadelphia Enterprise Company, Wm.
McLaughlin, Esq., the agent of that com
pany, called on Messrs. Gill & Shryock the
morning after the fire, and authorized_ them
to have the damages repaired. As the large
panes of glass in the windows had nearly
all been 'broken by the heat, and as they
,were of a very costly kind, some necessary
delay was occasioned before the glass could
be brought on from. New. York. However,
about one week ago the work of repairing
was completed, the bill made out and. Placed
in the hands of Mr. McLaughlin, the agent
for the Enterprise, who at once forwardedthe same to Philadelphia for approval; and
in just four days from the mailing of Mr.
McLaughlin's letter,j Messrs. Gill & Shry
ock received a sight_ ; l draft covering their,
claim. There was no halting or grumbling,
or higgling on the part of the agent, or the
company, Vat the money W 4 Paid promptly
and honorably at the earliest possible day.

wrist. fetz was too weak to admit of
probing the wounds, and accordingly, after
stimulanta were administered, he was taken
to his residence. Two persons, named Thos.
Whitney and John Ahern, were arrested,
charged with being concerned in the affair,
and taken to the Fifth District Police Sta
tion, where Ald. Tunison held them to bail

Commission and present the evidences of
his service to the country. Re has the
privilege of pointing out any other man in
the yard who has claims less strong than
his own; and if he sustains those claims he
will be reinstated in his employment. The
Board is now performing its rather disa
greeable duty with great faithfulness and
patience. A number of cases have already
been acted upon, and a large number yet
remain to be considered.

JEWELRY.—With the approach of Christ
mas the demand forjewelry becomes very general.
The objector each person who intends purchasing is
to buy the best artic. eat the lowest possiole rate. But
as the cumber of jewelry stores in Philadelphia is le
gion, inexperienced parties are quite at sea to know
where and with whom to deal. Din kind of business
offers such inducements for extortion as that of jew
elry. Very few can distinguish the real from the
counterfeit diamond, and fewer still can guard against
the dishonest dealer in the precious metals. Unhesi
tatingly we reccommend Mr. John Brennan, No. 13
el. Eighth street. as a businesp man of the highest in
tegrity.. His stock is most varied and select. It con
sists of the rarest goods, offered at reasonable prices.
His selection of diamonds, precious stones, gold aod
silver watches,plated ware and fancy articles is really
beautiful:„ and if any reader, intends purchasing a
Christ mug present he should first pay a visit to Brea
nun's No. 13 S. Eighth street.

CAPITAL IDEA.—Messrs. C. Somers dr. Son, No. QS
Chestnut stieet.under Jayne's Hall. u ith commendable
liberality, have reddced the prices of their elegant stock
of ready-made clothing, so as to place them within reach
of all. If the benevolent will bear this in mind in
spending their money, and take those to whom a new
suit of clothing would be a blessing to this popular old
establishment and have them suited lit a needed gar
ment, they will be doing goon to others and find real
pleasure in the act of giving, which .does not attach to
the bestowal of mere articles of taste and fancy.
CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR.—
The great holidays is near at hand, and it behooves all
men to make proper preparations for it. There is as
great a diverslt) of tastes is the mode of observing the
day as there is diversity ofcharacter and diapoeitlon In
the observers. But it is conceded upon all sides that
shabbiness and discomfort are not conducive to a pro
per observance of tke day, and to that end we should
provide ourselves and our growing Sons and nephews
with new and elegant suits at the Brown Stone Cloth
lug Hall of Rockhill & Wtlson, No. 603 and 605 Chest
nut street, above Sixth.
