The cause is dead for which you bled And you had better own it, You better smother up the fire Lamenting you had sown it; For Uncle Sam is bound to rule From pulf to lakes and oceans, And you must acquiesce to him In spite of conflict notions. Of martyred men, with Southern pen, 'T were better not to mention, Own up the wrong and pitch your song Above this mad contention; For Uncle Sam will have his way ' And you can but knock under, Though on the errors of the past You still persist to blunder. Say not you love the ills of war To rid you from oppression, The world will sigh to hear you lie But pity with confession, And Uncle Sam, too gracious yet, Forbearance may o'erpower And then, beware! to you and yours Will come the darkest hour.

Del. Water Gap, July 14, 1500. THE SIOUX SUN DANCE. BARBARIOUS and horrible rites. Maior-General Curtis, in a letter, thus describes this sickening procedure : "1-ort Sully, June 2, 1SG6. The whole of the three thousand Sioux camp ed about us gave mc early information of their design to have their annual sun dance at this time and place, the season of the year, the trees in full leaf, havinrr now arrived; and they wished to inform Col. Recor, the commander of the sol diers, that however boisterous their de n onstrations might be, they would all be peaceful and of a pious character. "On yesterday, June 1, the dancing was delayed at interval to allow tortures to be inflicted. Two or three men stood over the devotee with needle and knife, very quietly performing penance accord ing to the customs of all these sacerdotal rites, as follows : . " First they cut the arm in several plac es by striking an awl in the skin, raising .it and cutting out about half an inch. This is done on both arms, and sometimes on the breast and back. Then wooden setons (sticks about the thick ncss of a com mon lead-pencil) are inserted through a hole in the skin and flesh. Then cords of ropes are attached to these sticks by one end, and to the pole at the other end, the victim pulling on the ropes till the seton sticks tear out the flesh and skin. I saw one with two setons thus attached to his breast, pulling till it seemed to draw the tkin out three inches, and lit erally requiring nearly his whole might to tear out the seton. One painted black had four ropes attached at once. The pulling out is done in the dance, the pul ling carried on in the time of the music by jerk, jerk, jerk, and the eye, headland front all facing the sua in the form of supplication. One had four setons at tacLed to four dry buffalo head bones. "These were all strung and suspended to his flesh by ropes that raised each head sonic three feet off the ground, lie danced hard to tear them out, but they would not break the skin. One came off accidently, but it was again fastened. Fi nally these heavy weights (each at least twcntvrlive pounds weight), not tearing out by their own weight and motion, the devotee crave a comrade a horse to take hold of the rope and tear out the setons U hue these men were beiug thus tortur ed, their female relations came in and had pieces cut out of their arms, to show their annreciation and valor, and devotion to their kinsmen. Still, as soon as the vie tim could be prepared, the music was re newed, and the dismal dance went on ; the victims' bodies now miuglcd with blood, paint and seton3. "There being several steamboats and many soldiers here, a great crowd of spec tators rather embarrassed the performers, so they concluded the performance at twelve o'clock, having only danced twenty-four hours instead of forty-eight, as they usually do. All the devotees 'gave away all their ponies and other valuables to tlicir friends, had their wounds care fully dressed by attendant medicine men, and sat down to an abundant feast of dog soup and buffalo meat. "So ended the most barbarous and painful exhibition of savage' idolatry. The picture is still deeply impressed on my fcenses, but I cannot give half the horror of the scene, either by pen or pen cil." A Western paper strikes the name of two subscribers from its list because they were recently hung. The publisher says he was compelled to be severe, because lie did not know thero present address. - A countryman wna was qnargeu wim ten gallons of whiskey, which a grocer put in an eight-gallon keg,said he "didn't miud the money overcharged, so much as ho did tho strain on the keg. . i -1 1 Dogs and Drains. When the war in Italy commenced, the Zouaves embarked for Genoa; but as they were going on board the ship they saw a formal order forbidding the en trance of all dogs upon the vessel. -As they were very much attached to their dogs they were stricken with grief. It was not easy to deceive the sharp look-out kept by the intendant, for every soldier, advanced along the narrow gangway one by one, as their names were called. Ne cessity is the mother of invention. The drunimers unscrewed their drums and the best dogs of the regiment were con cealed in the drums, which were screwed up again. When regiments embark, no music is played, cm this occasion the Col onel determined there should be music He ordered the trumpets and drums to take the head of the column and to play a lively tune. The faces of the drum mers every one of whom had a dog in his drum may be conceived ! The trum pets sounded ; the drums were all silent. The Colonel got angry and bawled to know why the drums did not beat. There was but one thing to do and that was to beat. The moment the drums .began to beat innumerable dogs began to howl and bay, to the astonishment of everybody but the Zouaves. Every body looked right, left, backward forward no sign of a dog anywhere : and yet, the more the drummers beat, the more the dogs howl ed. At last a spaniel fell out of a drum, rolled over and over on the ground, got up and took to his heels howling louder than ever. Roars of laughter greeted the explanation of the mysterious howls. The atteudants ordered the drummers to advance on board, one by one, and roll the drum as he came. If a barking was heard, the drums was unscrewed, and the dog put ashore. Only one dog got on board ; this was Touton, who kept quiet through the rolling. It need not be said the Third Zouaves adore Touton. He made his entry into Paris, at their head, a few days since. Paris Letter. A Remarkable Case. One of the most remarkable cases that has ever come under the observation of the medical fraternity, has just transpir ed at the residence of a young man nam ed Abriel, who resides in Albany, N. Y. .Mr. A. is a returned soldier. He has been home something less than a year. When he came home he was suffering from a minnie ball wound through the fleshy part of the right arm. It became so bad that the attending phyiscian talk ed seriously ot amputation. Ihis worked seriously on the mind of his young wife (for he had but a short time previously got married.) She cared for and dressed the arm regularly, and paid every atten tion to it, not wishing to see her husband with only one arm. This was some eight or nine mouths ago. Under the kindly care of his wife, whose whole attention was absorbed in the thought of a one-armed husband, the wound got well, and the arm was saved. Now for the sequel. All this transpired eight or nine months ago. me otner day tne wite ot mt. Abriel jrave birth to a child who had one well developed arm, but the other was a stump, similar to the one with which the poor wife s mind was impressed at the time the surgeons were talking of takiug off her husband's. Amptation could not have produced a more beautiful stump, and what is more, the scar of the bullet hole, so visible on the father's arm, was as visible on the child's arm, at the base of the stump as if really inflicted by a ball. This is the most remarkable case of "child marked" ever known. It has attracted the attention of leading physi cians and surgeons. Tho child is a healthy and beautiful one, prefect in every respect, save the absence of the arm re ferred to. A family in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, have been missingstove wood for several weeks past. On the return of the head of the family a few days since, the case was sta ted, and Sunday night a very pretty strick offuel was left with the others on the wood pile. In the strick were 8 ounces of pow der, for safe keeping. Monday the stick was there, Tuesday the stick was there, and the laugh was now gcttiug on the man who fixed it. Wednesday morning the stick was gone. Yf ednesday forenoon an explosion was heard in a house near, and a kitchen widow was spared no panes. On going to the spot a sight was seen. The stove had joined a piece conference. A kettle of pork and cabbage shot up through the roof like an arrow. A dish of apples that was st3wing on the stove gave the ceiling the appearance of the map 01 Liauioima. j.. vu, ouu un der the stove went through the window as if after the devil or doctor, and has not been seen or heard of since, but a smell of burnt cat hair prevades that house very thoroughly. A flat-iron was hoisted into a pan of dough, a chair lost threee legs, the wood-boi: looks sick, while the roof of tho house looks like a busted applo dumplinr. The occupant of the ruins, says : "Such dunder never comos pe fore, or I puys a lightcnin'rod." A man in Philalelphia has been sued for $25,000 for a breach of promise His defense is and it ought to clear him.- that ho was ready to marry her last win ror hut she kent nutt'ins it off. and as ,v,l -r- r . - , . gDQ wc,rrl13 285 pounds he prelers not marry during the warm weather. 1 j General Cass was estimated to bo worth from four to five millions. SOUTHERN CONVENTION. ADDRESS TO LOYAL CITIZENS OF THE SOUTH THE ISSUE TO BE MET THE TERXICIOUS DOCTRINES OF STATE SOV EREIGNTY TRUE SOUTHERNERS INVI TED TO ASSEMBLE IN INDEPENDENCE HALL. Washington, July 11. The following- is the call for a Convention of South ern Unionists to be held in Independence Hall, in the city of Philadelphia, on the first Monday of September, 1SGG : To the Loyal Unionist of the South : Tho great issue is upon us. The majori ty in Congress and its supporters firmly declare that "the rights of the citizens enumerated in the Constitutions and es tablished by the supreme law must be maintained inviolate." Rebels aud Rebel sympathizers assert that "the rights of the citizens must be left to the States alone, and under such regulations as the respective States choose voluntarily to prescribe." We have seen the doctrine of State Sov ereignty carried out in its practical results until all authority in Congress was de nied, the Union temporarily destroyed, the constitutional rights of the citizens of the South nearly annihilated, and the land desolated by civil war. The time has come when the restructure of South ern State Government must be laid on constitutional principles, or the despot ism grown up under an atrocious leader ship be permitted to remain. We know of no other plan . than that Congress, un der its constitutional powers, shall now exercise its authority to establish the prin ciple whereby protection is made coex tensive with citizenship. We maintain that no State, cither by its organic Iaw3 or legislation can make transgression on the rights of the citizen legitimate. We demand, and ask you to concur In demanding, protection to every citizen of the great Republic, on thebasi3 of equal ity before the law ; and, further, that no State Government should be recognized as legitimate under the Constitution co far as it docs not, by its organic law, make impartial protection full and com plete. Under the doctrine of "State Sover eignty," with Rebels in the foreground controlling Southern Legislatures, and embittered, by disappointment la their schemes to destroy the Union, there will be no Safety for the loyal element of the j fcoutn. Uur reliance for protection is I now in Congress, and the great Union party that has stood and is now standing by the nationality, by the constitutional rights, and by the beneficent principles of free government. For the purpose of bringing the loyal Unionists of the'"South into conjunctive action with the true friends of Republi can Government in the North, we invite you to send delegates, in goodly nunibcj-3, from all tho Southern States, including Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia. Ma ryland and Delaware, to meet at Inde pendence Hall, in the city of Philadel phia, on the first Monday of September next. It is proposed that we should meet at that time to recommend measures for the establishment of such Government in (ho South as accords with and protects the rights of all citizens. Wc trust this call will be responded to by a numerous dele gation of such as represent the true loy ality of the South. That aid of Govern ment which gives full protection to all the rights of the citizens, such as our fa thers intended, wc claim as our birthright. Either the lovers of Constitutional liber ty must rule the nation, .or Rebels and their sympathizers be permitted to mis rule it. Shall loyalty or disloyalty have tba keeping of the destinies of the nation ? Let the responses to this call, which is now in circulation for signatures, and 13 being numerously signed, answer. Notice is given that gentlemen at a dis tance can have their names attached to it by sending a request by letter," directed to D. W. Bingham, Esq., Washington. D. C. W. D.
