BUSHWACKER LITERATURE.
We lately published a long poem, writtin in
Pennsylvania German, which, we are informed,
was from the pen of Bev. Mr. Harbaugh, a dis
tinguished clergyman of the Lutheran Church,
now residing at Lebanon, Pa. A comspondent
of the Builafin, who says the poem "produced a
wonderful excitement among thoie who were
so fortunate as to comprehend the meaning of
it in the original," sends us the following ex
cellent translation :
Mom the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
THE OLD SOHOOL-HODOD ON THE OBZIK
(Dot Alt SeAuthaiu on der Irriok.)
[A free translation from the Pennsylvania Dutch]
To-day it is just twenty years
Since I sought northern lands.
Now, living still, I come to seek
The quaint old school-house on the creek,
Near Arty's house that stands.
In hundred houses I have been,
Of marble, stone or brick,
Yet of those mansions grand and tall,
I'd any day forget them all,
For the school house on the creek
He who forsakes the good of home,
In peace rd let him go:
Still, let me say, ere he sets forth,
It is all humbug in the North,
Aa he full soon will know.
To evbry corner I have been,
And traveled, well or sick,
But ne'er in any spot have found
Such joy as caused my heart to bound,
In-the school house on the creek.
Sweet home-joys here I always had ;
New as I stand and gaze,
Old Scenes before my mem'ry wave,
Old forms arise as from the grave—
The ghosts of vanished days.
The stream plays by just as of old,
When I too blythely played,
And where yon elder shades the stream,
The little fish still gladly gleam ;
Time yet no change has made.
81111 stands the white-oak by the door,
And shades the old roof tree,
The old grape-vine, too, still is green,
AndloOk I the swallow's nest yet green I
A strange thing seems to me.
Over the fields the swallows play
Their game of "first is best;
From gable end so quaint and old,
4 house of straw and dirt behold!
a l sWallow's nest ! •
There lie the young birds very mill,
In sleep : all scattered round ;
Wait till some worms the parent brings,
Then far their shrilly twitt'ring rings,
Till distance hears the sound.
Yes ! all the scene is as it was,
When here a boy I ranged,
Yet dearer things no more axe here,
And all must change and disappear
I too, myself, have changed.
Like Ossian, by hie desolate hall,
I watch the clouds flit by,
And half in joy—in sorrow half,
My tears come trickling, yet I laugh,
Your hearts can tell me why.
I used to go to this old school,
When but an urchin small ;
There was the master on his stool,
There was his switch, and there hie rule,
I seem to see them all.
The desks, the 'clothes rings on the wall,
The shool mom's ample bound,
And on this aide'the girls sat, •
The boys, (not half so coy,) on that,
See how they peep around.
The master's eye is on them now,
They'd better have a care ;
The chap who writes the billets-doux,
And he whose tricks the boys amuse,
And you lad laughing there !
For big and little, one and all,
Ate neath one equal rule, ,
Which is moat just, for who doth break
That canon, must a licking take,
Oi get timed, out of school.
Inside, around the cosy stove,
Sits all the little chaps,
They study.very hard, you see,
For who shall miss his A B C,
His ears shall meet hard raps.
Uneasy are the' benches high,
Which keep the feet from floor.
One's back feels often strained and sick,
In that old school-house on the creek,
And just about right sore.
Poor little souls, ak I there they sit ;
Just think 1 how ill at ease !
It is no wonder, I declare !
They learn so little, perched up there,
On forms so high as these.
With all the drawbacks, anyhow,
It was a first-rate school,
For pedagogue in vain you'd look
Like ours—he's schyphered through the book,
-And never, skipped a rule.
Cross was he ; yes ! I c a n't deny,
He flogged us all around :
Yet he most equal rules observed,
Who felt the birch, the birch deserved
Completely be bound.
At dinner time, when school was out,
' We felt "so good" just then,
And some the flying ball did chase,
While some amused them in the race,
And some played soldier men.
I The big girl's swept the school-room out,
The boys hung round the spot,
I'Pretending but to help about, '
But soon the master drove them out,
The rules allowedit not.
The girls did "Copenhagen" play,
On yonder
the
so green, '
But when the big girls crossed the ring,
Why then (it was a curious thing),
The big boys, too, "pitched in.
Big Ik e did alwiLys big gills tag;
Apd small ones Await mile,
llow.sllif Htey,np A r .s*.doWn r
1 'And thie you' nyli depend upoi
Who WoA—ald earned him.
On Christmas was the right .good time,
With memories gay 'Us bleat ;
When we did bar the master out,
From door and sill, with timber stout :
"Now, master! gifts Present!"
Then did he struggle mightily,
By force to burst within,
But while he knocked, 'neath door so stout,
A written treaty we thrust out,
Sign this ! we'll let you in !
Then out the master launched his gills,
With Sheepish looks,—but be
Chestnuts and apples, and much more,
spread out our joyous eyes before ;
We swallowed them with glee.
Oh i where are now my school mates all,
Who studied hare of yore ?
Ah 1 some have wandered far away,
With some did fickle fortune play,
And death took many more.
My heart is swelled with thankfulness,
Yet grief my voice makes thick,
Could weep o'er memories of the past :
And yet, a joy it brings at last,
This school-house on the creek.
Oood bye 1 old school-house I echo's voice
"Good bye good bye !" calls back,
Oh ! school-house 1 school-house ! must I go,
And leave you standing lonely so,
You school-house on the creek ?
Oh ye 1 who'll live when I am gone,
Yet once more hear me speak ; •
I beg, entreat you hear my prayer,
Oh take forever kind, good care,
Of the school-house on the creek.

A letter has been received by Capt. Charles
Candy, Assistant Adjutant General to Lander's

setts regiment now a prisoner at Richmond.
Col. Lee states that he and the other imprisoned
officers have been very kindly treated, and
makes enquiries as to the disposition made of
the enemy captured at Ball's Bluff. The rebels
say that fewer of the Massachusetts officers
would have been killed had they not been too
proud to surrender.

liiiw Yoss., Nov. 19
A letter from Charleston dated October 3rd,
sent by Havana to a gentleman in England and
thence remailed to .this city, was received here

of affairs as deplorable. Business was prostra
ted, provisions at starvation prices, and no
prospect of a change for the better.
A Simms Dugs.—The Duke of Argyll re
cently made a speech at Invereary, in wroth he
discussed American affairs in a just and liberal
spirit. We extract a passsge :
"In fairness to our American friends we ought
to admit that no more tremendous issues wete
ever submitted to the dread arbitrament of war
than these which are now submitted to it upon
the Anterican continent. Ido not care whether
we look at it from the northern or from the
southern point of view. Take the mere ques
tion of what is called the right of secession. I
know of no government which has ever existed
in the world which could possibly have admitted
the right of secession from its own allegiance.
There is a curious animal iu Loon Fyne, which I
have sometimes dragged up from the bottom of
the sea, and which performs the most extraor
dinary and unaccountable acts of suicide and
sell-destruction. It is a peculiar kind of star
fish, which, when brought up from the bottom
of the:water, and when any attempt is made to
take hold of it, immediateiy throws off all its
arms, its very centre breaks up, and nothing
remains of one of the most beautiful forms in
nature but a thousand wriggling fragments.—
Such undoubtedly would have been the fate of
the American Union, if its Government had ad
mitteu what is called the, right of heceasion.
"Gentlemen, I think we should admit, in
fairness to the Americans, that there are some
things worth fighting for, and that national ex
istence is one of these." [Cheers.]
A FIGIIIII2NO Nsoao.—A correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, describing the battle of Bel
mont, says :
"During the thickest of the tight the body
servant of Gen. laCiernard, a mulatto named
William Stains, of Decatur, exhibited conspicu
ous courage. He was close by the General, du
ring the whole
.engagement, cheering the aol
diem and swearing that he would shoot the first
man that showed the whit& weather. Many of
us laughed heartily at the fighting darkey,
while the bullets flew like hail about us.
; "In the course of the fight, a captain of one
of the companies was struck by a spent
which disabled him from walking. The mul
atto boy, who was mounted, rode up. to hint
and shouted out, 'Captain, if you can fight any
longer for the old Stars and Stripes take my
home and lead your men.' He then distnotinted
and helped the wounded officer into his saddle.
When he was walking away, a rebel dragoon
rush forward at the officer to take him prisozier.
The darkey drew his revolver and pat a ball
through the rebel's head, scattering his brains
allover the horse's neck.
relate these little circumstances so that
merit may be justly dealt with, even if the hero
is a 'nigger' as some people would call this
brave fellow."
