Suggested on reading an eulogistic poem
on Jeff. Davis, from the Charleston
Aeic.
(TCNE : YANf ilE DOODLE.)
BY A. B. BURRELL.
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.
Oh not a word then let be heard
(Since Dixon now is broken)
Eulogizing Davis, Lee,
Such stuff must not be spoken ;
The cause a failure, they the same,
Dig deep the whole together,
Build up the new, tuild up the true
The Union live forever.
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. -

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."

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.
