"AIUSTERED OUT." Let ine lie down, -Just here in the shade of the cannon-torn tree, Here, low in the trampled grass, where I may see The surge of the combat ; and where I may hear 1 he glad cry of victory, cheer npon cheer; Let me lie down. Oh, it was grand! Like the tempest we charged, in the triumph to share ; The tempest its fury and thunder were there; On, on, o'er the entrenchments, o'er living and dead, With the foe under foot and our flag over head ; Oh, it was grand ! Weary and faint, Prone on the soldier's couch, ah how can I rest With this shot-tattered head and Eabrc-pierced breast ? Comrades, at roil -call, when I shall be sough Say I fought where I fell, and lull wher;j I fought Wounded and faiut. Oh, that last charge ! Right through the dread fire of shrapnel and shell. Through, without faltering, clear though with a yell, Eight in their midst, in the turmoil and gloom Like heroes we dashed at the mandate of doom ! Oh, that last charge I It was a duty ! Some things are worthies.', aad some others bO good, That Nations lu fccy them pay only in Hood ; For Freedoc ard Union each man owes his pait. And bore I pay my share, all warm from my heart ; It is a duty 1 Iyiug at last ! My Mother, tlr iuoiir. with mwk, tearful eye, Farewell! and God bless you, forever and aye ! Oh that 1 new lay on your pillowing breast, To breathe my last sigh on th,e bosom first pressed ; L'yir.g at last ! I am no saint, But, boys, say a prayer. There's one. that begins : 'Our Father," and then says : '-Forgive us our sins :" Don't forget that part, say that strongly, and then I'll try to repeat it, and you'll say, Amen! Ah, I'm no Saint 1 liar's ! ther's a shout ! Uuise me up comrades 1 wo have conquered, I know ! Cp, up, on my feet with my face to the foe.' Ah, tueie flies the flag, with the star spangles bright, The praise of g'.ory, the symbol of right! N ell they may shout ! I am miisiered out ! 0 God of our Fathers, our freedom prolong, Aud tread down rebellion, oppression aud wrong !

Mr. President, gentlemen of the Con-'(len vention and fellow citizens, I meet you under circumstances that 11 my hert with the deepest emotion and the pio- ! fouudeit. awe, and Jaknow of no lan- guage by which 1 can adequately express j to you the feelings which this s:gnal and ; most emphatic manifestation of your fa- j rvor and confidence has impressed n;c. I And indeed 1 thiuk 1 would be wanting in the great characteristics of our nature if I were not deeply affected. If a stranger had entered this city to day, he would scarcely have failed to be impressed by the enthusiasm and earnest ness with which the deliberations of this Convention have been characterized. The enlivening strains ofumsie, ' the tn multuour cheers of the crowd, the -xul-tant roars of artillery, and the general euthusiasm which has everywhere per vaded the people around uj, may well be taken as indicative of the general en dorsement which the people of the State at large will accord to your action. And among your own assemblage, as well as in the streets of this city, you may readily recognize many of the men who have done battle for the country and her insti. tutious amid the curling smoke of well contested fields. Under all these circum . stances, you, gentlemen of the Conven tion, induced, no doubt, by considerations which you considered satisfactory, have chose cic as the standard-bearer of the great Union Xatiouu1 Republican party iu the comiug contest for Governor of Pennsylvania. Great applause. And I you have thus selected rue from among the niauv worthy, honorable, patriotic and intelligent gentlemen who were my competitors ior tuc cumioation genue- mcu whose patriotism in intelligence no one can doubt. I feci, therefore, that you have imposed upBn me a debt of gratitude which long years aye, a life time devoted to tbe public service and the interest aud honor of Pennsylvania cau never caucel. 1 have to ask, in all humility, that I may be made fully sen sible of the gre-t responsibilities whieh devolve upon me, and that I may be strengthened with sincere, determined purposes to advance all the true prinei- i i)!es 'jf humanity aud the best interests of the country iu every worthy, honor able aud patriotic enterprise. I'rofounuly sensible of, and grateful for so distin guished aH evidence of your esteem and confidence, with a firm and .unwavering determination to sustain the gteat princi ples of equal justice which underlie our rcpublicau institutions, with a hearty en dorsement of the principles embodied iu the platform, I accept the nomiuation. Applause I accept it, not in the be lief that iu my own person I possess any intrinsic merit, or have rendered any ser vices to my country which entitled me to receive the nomination, but I accept it as a matter due to S50.000 soldiers of Pennsylvania, who have done battle for their country and have rendered servi ces whose value can never be estimated, and to whom we are indebted for a home aud a country. On their account, as one selected by them to accept and re ceive this matter at your hands, and view "trig it as a compliment to them, I thank you most heartily. And I assure you, my fellow-citizens and gentlemen of the Convention, that as far as I possess the ability, aud with the aid of the powerful and eloquent Union men of Pennsylvania, the comiug grand political battle shall be fairly and honorably conducted to its le gitimate termioaliou aud still grander victory. I beg to again return you, fellow citi zens and gentlemen of tbe Convention, my unfeigned thanks for the honor you have conferred upon me. REMARKABLE ESCAPE. The following beats all the stories of remarkable escapes which we remember ever to have seen : "On the passage of the ship Anaxander from New Orleans to Xew York, a young !ad, ahout fourteen years of age, from a naturally frolicsome and mischievous disposition, because so troublesome in his pranks that ha was j threatened by the capuia, if they wen ' continue J, that he woald confine htm in ' water cask. Our youngster took no ho an he in th(, which WM ; a h b hoIe for the ,d. is;orl 0f air. That night the ship en- countered a violent stora), and, in a sud- )Wi:,t tne cask containing tbe boy ; roIled over into tbe sea. Fortunately, j the CSl ftruck bung up, ana Coated j oQt thirty hours, when it was thrown Lp0n the Leach at St. Bias. Here tha boy desperate efforts to extneata himself from his prison, without success, auj ja despair, gave up to die. Some COw, however, strolling on the beach, were attracted to the cask, and, in walk ing round it, one of them, it being fly time, switched her tail into the bung-hole-which tL lad grasped with a desperate resolution. The cow bellowed, and set off fo: life, and after running some two hundred yards with the cask, struck it against a log on the beach and knocked it to smash. The boy was discovered by some fishermen on the Point, and takea into Appalachicola, where, a small col lection being made for him, he was en abled to proceed on L13 journey home ward." TENNESSEE. Col. W. B. Stokes, elected Represen tative ia Congress, was presented in Nash ville with a gold headed cane on the 8th inst., prior to his departure fur Washing ton. The presentation took place ia the Senate chamber of tbe Capitol Governor Browniow, Gens. Tbomos, Fisk, 3Iilroy, &e., being present. In referring to the presentation address by W. B. Shane, ho said : "I am again on my way to Washington, to help the Union men to restore law and order ! 1 am regardless who deviates to the right or to the left. If some men choose to go astray, even if they be high In authority, I hava taken no oath to fol low any man. iour JrifU'ls in htthuij t'jn are the Lilian men in Congress. Some times they are termed Radicals. I don't earc what name you call tl.cm. I can Lc called a Radical as easily as I was called a Liaconite and Abolitionist in 18C1. TLa Radicals are your friends, I repeat. Soma of them are a little extreme in some of their views, but still you must remember that these Union men are the ones who saved our Government in 1801, when it required all the energy and courage of man to meet the dreadful crisis. Are they no the rren whom you should trust now with the reins of Government ?" yTho Boston Herald has a long ac count of the discovery of the murder of the two children, Isabella N. and John S. Joyce, in Busscy's wools, West Rock bury, on the 12th of June, 1S'15. He was found to be a convict in the Stata prison, who had been sont there for a bur glary committed in Worchester county, shortly alter the murder. His sfrango conduct when arrested led the officer tr think he was a hardened criminal, and his boastings afterwards of large deeds per formed by himself, together with some of unguarded expressions, gave the cluo which, being followed by two Worchester county officers, has fastened the murder alluded to almost undeuiably npon him self. His partial confessions, with tha corroborative evidence obtained, leave no doubt in the mmd3 of the officers of his guilt. His sobriquet is "Scratch G ravel." His right name is Charles Aaron Dodge. How to TAKE up Trees, One of the speakers, at a recent meeting of ag agriculturists in New Haven, Conn., gave the following sensible directions for tak ing trees from nurseries. He said : "An enormous amount of money .. is annually lost to tree purchasers from the rude and unskillful taking up. Trees are torn up by the roois, as if tha trunk and branches! were the one thing necessary, and tha roots superfluous. The proper way is, to ope n a trench on each side of the tree with a common spade, keeping the edge toicard the tree, so as uot to cross a root. These trenches should be far enough from the tree to avoid the main roots, and deep enough to go below all except the top root, which, may bo cut off. This being done, the tree may be palled up with its roots entire." JSflt is easy to ssy grace but not half so eay Id possess it. tfcj-A crow is a brave bird he never th'i ': tha Trhite leather.
