My dear Cameron mi will iletin me a,
most remiss correspondent. If you had j
'been enabled to come he:e you would have j
fouud much of interest in answer to the ;
question What of the lb publieutis from ;
your point ol view I
We hae been lying in front of Lee's ;
army now for four mouths, which have by j
no means bten spent in vain, l'loiu the 1
examination of thousands of prisoners and
deserters, and articles in the Southern news
papers, I am certain that these nave been j
that the whole arms bearing population of
months id tleoletloii to the ctoullicin tinny
the States within the' Ktbtl lines have been
exhausted in the Mllorts to ntruit tlitir
forces, and the capability, il not the will,
10 resistance, is last tiwiiiniing uwuy.
ThiConlederate IJongr. s. iu Dtci iiiU r last, 1
posted an act, the tirst section of which is i:i j
these words: "'1 he Coiigre-s of the t'onfetlo 1
rate Sta'eldo enuel Hint nil w bite rtsidenKof
the Confederate. Stales between the ages of 1
seventeen and li It v are iu the service ol the

The act then provide how- farmers, me
chanics und others may be detailed by mili
tary authority to ria-e the provisions and do
the work for the army in the field.
Whal would our Di nii'Ciatie Iricnds who
are so 1 l.itat t over "Lihcoln's tyratiy" say
to such It draft as that on our side? 1
woultt like to see Governor Seymours mild
p oles: against it. I would inn like to hear
VoorbetV denunciations ol it, ior they would
bo vulgnr.
Now, w hen I rend 111 the Kit hniond pa
per clamorous calls that the detailed men
shall be all put into llio rinks, how can I
doubt the united testimony of dcscrlei and
prisoners that the Kehils' means us to the

Nevtr having been n convert t.i the the.i

lYiesfrs. ullnndio-iium, Wood, Scvtnour, 1'en-
dleton, Long, limns. Voorhers, und their
surrouiiders, Noith and South?
Let us see what their platform and their
candidates mean : The war is to be carried
on or is it not ; if not t'.ien a disgraceful and
dishonorable peace, which w ill be no peace,
and w hich 110 trun man wants, ii to be the
result. Or, if curried on, then bolh plat
form und candidates arc pledged to the dis
bandment of two hundred thousand colored
men, now doing duty as soldiers or serving
in the tinny, their places to be supplied
either by volunteers, at the expense ol I11111
dreds of millions in bounties, or by a draft,
which is the grent ground of complaint by
the opponents of the Government. '
Nay, more, if either the Chicago platform
or McClellan's acceptance means anything,
these negroes are to lie- returned to their
masters to fight or labor on the other side.
Does any one doubt, if returned to their
master, they would be at once sent into the
Uebel lines, where alone such property has
any value. Upon the theory of the Chicago
Platfiirtn and McClellan's "constitutional
rights of States," I think it would "ex
haust the resources of statesmanship" to
show u-bv tbostt men rIiouI.1 not be returned
,4o their former masters, as indeed, was the
practice in General MeClellan s tinny.
Still further, does not General MeClellan
twice over in his letter mid platform promise
new constitutional gtiarranttes to the rights
of the South.
Is it possible that all tlhe concessions a re
to be forced from the North by Secession lit
the point of the bayonet ?
That which specially 11 fleets the mind of
the old and true Democracy of the country
in the Ihiltiinore Plat Idi 111 is its declaration
us to the slavery. Iu the view I take ot
this question it seems unfortunate that sui!i
a declaration was made, ns it proves a ttuui
bling block to many.
Why iitit treat the slavery question ac
cording to the fact that slavery dies and is
buried wherever our armies march f . to
political action can aid, no resolutions of
conventions enn hinder that result. The
war if prosecuted to the tnd, will accoui-pli-h
all that the most ardent anti-slavery
man can desire, so that if the war goes on
to the bitter end for the restoration of the
"Union, thin slavery is no "more, and ull
declarations that the war shall or shall not
be carried on for the extinction of slavery
are lutile, nnd whim: than Useless. The war
w ill extinguish slavery whether we wish it
I or not. Nay, it has extinguished slavery,
I by rendering the slaves worthless. In
j Charleston to-day a negro can be bought for
t sJHOOO in Confederate money, which sells tor
1 for one in gold, making the value of the
J negro sJH'O. And this, too, with cotton at
1 vi,! ) per pound in New York. Before the
j war the same negro would tiring $HHM! in
' gold, with cotton ut twelve cents in New
I York.
I Some different system of labor nittt be
! devised for the Southern country in the
tuttire, and pence upon any terms, even tho
acknowledgement ol the Confederacy can
not prevent it. If I am right 011 this view
of the subject and upon this conviction I
have acted since I saw the fact in Louissi
ana in 1SH2 then what is there in the
Baltimore riatform to which Hny true loyal
Democrat, who loves his country, and is de
termined to fight, if need be, for its intt.-g-rity
and honor, can object ? I see nothing.
Hut in the changes so rapid in ailmiuistra-

They would demand indemnity lor losses

We nitist have pevie, not only at Atlanta,

stop (honar that now desolates our once

wo must defeat llio rebel Hrmies that are

which ail must respect nnd obey. To de

to reach them in their recesses, provided
w ith the arms ami instruments which ena

War is cnielty and vou cannot refine it;
and those who brought war on our country
deserve all the curses anil maledictions a
people can pour out. I know I had no
hund in making this wnr, and I know I will
make more saerilie.es than any of you to se

The following magnilicetit prose poem ap
peared in the "Museum," some forty yanre
), and deserves to be treasured with the
noblest poetical productions in our lan
guage. The deicriptivo exordium la all
alive with the tine frenzy of war, while the
apostrophe to the dying soldier breathes the
heart-stirring eloquence of genuine Inspira
tion. Where h the autiquary that can leil
us w ho wrote this ?
Tl e shadows ol evening are thickening.
Twilight close--and thin mists are rising
in the valley. Tin; last charging squadron
yet thunders in the distance ; but it prtjEoa
only on the foiled aud scattered foe; torthia
day the tight is over.
And those who rodo foremost in its field
at morning where are they now ? On the
bank of yon little stieaui there lies a knight
his life blood ebbing faster than its tide ;
his shield is reut, and his lance is broken.
Soldier why faintest thou ? The blood that
wells from that deep wound shall answer.
It was this morning, that the sun rose
bright upon his hopes; it sets upon his
grave. This clay he fed thu foremost rank of
spears, that, in tlieir long row leveled
when they had crossed the toe's dark liue
death shouted in the onset 1 It was the last
blow that leached him. ' Ho has conquered,
though he shall not triumph iu the victory.
His breastplate is dinted; his helmet has
the truce of well dealt blows. The ScBrf
on his breast she would shrink but to
touch it now, who placed it there I Sol
diers, what will thy mistress say ? Sho will
say that her knight died worthily.
Ay, rouse tlieo, for the fight ye't chafes ia
the distance! Thy frieods are shouting
thy pennon floats ou high ! Look on your
crimson field, that seems to mock the pur
pled clouds above it 1 prostrate theyi lie,
drenched in their dark red pool thy friends
and enemies the tlead and dying! the vete
ran with Hie stripling of a day ; the name
less trooper and the leader of a hundred
hosts; friend lies with friend ami f.ies
linked :n their long embrace tlieir first and
hist the gripe of death.
Far o'er the field Ihey lie, a gorgeous
ruiu! While plume and steel uiarinii sa
bre and atagliau crescent und cross rice
vest and bright corslet; we came to the
light us we had come to a feasting glorious
aud glittering, eveu iu death, eucli suiuiug
warrior lies !
His last glance still seeks that christian
banDer ! The cry that shall never be repea
ted cheers on its last charge. Oh 1 but for
strength to teach the field once more to die
in the foes front ! Peace, dreamer ! Thou
hast done well. Thy place iti the close rank
is filled, und yet another wuils for Li who,
holds it.
Knii;iL ! hait thou yet a thought to bind
it on Heaven! Tht past i gom-; the fu
ture lies before thee. Gaze on the gorgeous
sky thy homo should lie bcyoud it !
Life honor lovo they pass to IIiui that
gave them. Pride that cuuie 00 like oceas'a
billows see, round thee how it lic3 mule
and passive. The wealthy here are poor;
the high-born have no precedence! thu
strong are powerless ; the mean, content ;
thc'liiir and lovely have no followers.
Soldier ! she who sped thee on thy course
to-day, her blue eye shall seek thee in thn
conquering isnks to-morrow; but they shall
seek thee 111 vain ! Well! thu it i thou
sliotildst have died! with all to live for.
Wouldst thou be base to Dave thy death a
blessing t Proud uecks shall uiourn for
thee. They that live, envy thee. Death!
glory Jukes out 'hy sting.
The shades of night are drawing on
Soldier, thine eyes are darkening. A last
rim of the sun lies yet upon the distant hill
even us he sinks, tby oul shall follow
hitn.
See how tby tred feed beside thee. Hi
tlark eye falls ou his master, and he pauses.
Poor wretch! thine instinct tees some wrong
yel knows it not. Browse on ; anil Heaven
which guards its meanest Croat uiu send
thee a kind protector!
Wurrior! ay the stream of that rill flows
cool; and thy lip no more shall tsste it.
The uioonliolit that sitters it white foam
thai) glittef on thy corilct, wheu tLiue eve
i i closed and dim.
Lo! now the night is coining; the mist i
gathering rin the hill ; the fox eteal forth
to seek its qtiurry ; aud the gray owl sweep
hurling by, rejoicing irr the stillness. On
soldier how sweetly now sounds the Isily'a
lute how fragrant are the dew spnukled
dower that twine around tle casement from
which she lean ! That lute shall enchant
thee those tlowcr shall dvlighl thee no
more I
One other charge I Soldier, it may not be.
