The maid who ninds her warrior' sash,
With smiles that well ber pain dissembles.
The while beneath her drooping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles. ;.
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
Aud fame shall never Jtnow her story,
Her heurt has shed a drop as dear
As ever dewed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husband's sword.
'Mid little ones who weep or wonder.
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
W hat though her heart be rent assunder
loomed nightly iu her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the plain of battle '
The mother who conceals her grief.
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God,
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedom's field of honor!
Patriotism of the Lutheran Church.
The General Sj'Dod of the Lutheran Church
of the United States hold its biennial ses
tsion in. York, Pa., during the lust ten days.
A committee on the state of the country,
consisting of one member from each Synod
represented, wasj appointed, of which Kev.
W. A. Passu van t, of Pittsburg, was Chair
man. The following patriotic resolutions
were reported hy the committee, and unan
imously adopted, on a call of the yeas and
nays. It will he .seen that they take strong
ground in support of the Government, and
most emphatically condemn the pytem of
American slavery as a sin against God, and
as the cause of tho rebellion. They also re
buke the attempt of JJifihop Hopkins, in
liia celebrated letter, to prove that slavery is
a divine institution. By the adoption of
these resolutions the Lutheran Church of
the United States places itself fairly on the
.ide of justice and right. We bespeak tor
them the careful perusal of our readers :
liesoh-cd; That having assembled a sec
ond time during the prevalence of civil war
in our land, this Synod connot separate with
out solemnly re-afltnuing the declarations a
dopted at our last Convention in reference
to the originating cause of the rebellion, the
necessity of its forcible suppression, the
righteousness of the war which is waged by
the Government of the United States for the
maintenance of tho national life, and the
consequent duty of every Christian to sup
port it by the whole weight of his influence,
his prayers and his efforts.
itemized, That we acknowledge with
profound gratitude to .Almighty God, the.
various.important successes which have thus
far crowned our arms ; the merciful inter
position ofProvider.cc in delivering us from
the invasion of the enemy.and in protecting
our homes, our churches and our institutions
from the desolations of war ; and the cheer
ing progress which has been made by the
Government and the Nation in the reeoirm-
tion of the laws of God and the rights of
man in the measures which have beeu adopt
ed for the suppression of the rebellion.-
Resolved, That rec-ogniziug the sufferings
and calamities of war as the righteous j udg
rnent of a just God visited upon u3 ,for our
transgressions, we call unon our nastors and
churches to unite with us in the confession
of our manyand grievous individual and na
tional sins, and in fervent supplications for
the Divine forgiveness, that as a people we
may break off sins hy righteousness, and do
justly, love mercy, and walk humbly orith
God. -
Iif-solred, That as persistent efforts are
making among us by professedly christian
writers to prove, from the Holy Scrip
tures, the Divine institution of American
slavery the principal cause of this wicked
rebellion we, the Delegates of the General
pynod ot the Evangelical .Lutheran Church
in the United States, hereby express our
unqualified condemnation of such a coarse,
which claims the sanction of the merciful
God and Fat her of us all for a system of bu
marj oppression which exists only ... by vio
lence, under the cover of iniquitous laws.

Deaths in Battle and by Diseaee.
B. F. Taylor's last letter to the Chicago
Journal contains the following : -i . v
Let me give you a suggestive fact which
possesses a deep significance : From No
vember 24, 1863, to the 15th of the present
month, out of one thousand and twenty-six
who have been laid in the Soldiers' Kest at
Chattanooga, one hundred and sixty were
killed on the field of battle. When, with
my finger running down the long list of
names, 1 came to the end of the roll f hon
or, and my thought rested at one hundred
sixty-seven, will you believe that I could not
credit the count, and went over all the pa
ges again, pure that 1 should find a few
more, opposite whose names current cola
nw with a running pen, and a flourish now
and then the clerks had written the three
words, "killed in battle.'' But the sixty
eight was not there ! There it was : one
hundred and sixty-seven fell on the field ;
five hundred and seventy-eight died from
wounds, five hundred and forty m all, from
rebcljbullets; only titty-three per cent, of the
thousand and twenty-six.
And what of the four hundred and eighty
one 1 Hardships, exposure, the wasting
fever, "the slings and arrows" of rheuma

stands wide open in the midst of camps, but

time. The battle ended, the surpeon's du
ty done, now does the work of physician and
Sanitary Commission rise almost -to the dig
nity or the army's salvation ! In him, the
faithful, skilled and true in them, la'den
with the blessings, so many beautitudes from
home is the soldier's hope, after all. Get
generals, wise and brave, if you can, but,
ch, be sure that the physician is equal to
the trust: let no man "try his prentice
hand" on our grand journey-man in bluel
Let the women of the North love and labcr
on. Their gifts are angels in disguise. As
I have told you before, the battle te the red
blossom of war, but the roots, dark and bit
ter, run beneath ten thousand tents and
cabins, creep through unnumbered wards of
hospitals, and feel their way like the fingers
of a hand in all this ground we tread upon,
save that great, solemn acre, rich in soluiers
dead, the acre of the living God.
The Fight at Newmarket. ' '
A correspondent of the. New York Herald
gives the following account of Sigel's re
pulse at Newmarket :
General Sigel advanced his command,
consisting cf about ten thousand, to the.vi
cinity of Newmarket, which is in the lower
end of Rockingham county, and about fifty
niaes from Winchester." The valley of
Virginia opens out about Woodstock into a
broad, level expanse,' presenting the finest
picture of mountain and valley to be found
in the country. Jn Friday General Sigel's
advance encountered the enemy's advance,
and slight skirmishing was had. On Sat
urday there was considerable skirmishing,
ani ou Sunday the enemy became trouble
some. General Sigel, however, continued
to advance and get his forces into a position
to receive General Breckinridge's forces,
who towards noon, threatened an attack.
AUmt three p. m., General Breckinridge
boldly daehed upon our forces, who with
stood the attack about half an hour, and
fell back somewhat iu disorder. This retro
gade movement was continued about seven
miles, having crossed the Shenandoah river
and taken position near the town Mount
Jackson, which is the present terminus of
the .Manassas Gap Railroad. JThe distance
form Newmarket to the Shenandoah, where
Sigel eorssed, is six and three quarter miles,
an-.' from the river to Mount Jackson one
and one quarter mile. A good wooden
bridge spanned the Shenandoah at the point
referred to before the war commenced : but
it was burned, I believe, in lSf2. Breck
inridge did not pursue, and , Sigel, having
rallied his men, moved down the valley to
Cedar creek, near Strasburg, where he now
is in a strong and secure positiou. The im
pressiorTis general that it was a disaster to
our arms. Sigel's loss exceeds seven hun
dred, including many officers. The Fifty-
lourtfi I'ennsylvama is reported to nave suf-
fered heavily. Sigel lost several gurs, a j
considerable number of small arms, and was j
much crippled. Breckenridge is believed
to have had not less than 8,000 men. '
f letter from an officer of the navy, at
Newbeme says "the iron-clad ram of the
rebels is of that build that she can close her
ports, and is thus impenetrable and can
make her wy wherever she may heed, for
yesterday she was crossed and rc:crossed,
around and around her the fleet steamed,
firing into her as fast as possible from their
100-pound rifles with steel-pointed halls and
9 inch Dahlgrens, but availing nothing more
tnao turning her back into the river.
Extravagance is the rule, " and economy
the exception in California. 'Easily got,
easily spent," says the miners. The San!

who were poor, and not ashamed of it, with

without a blush, that they cannot live on
$10,000 a year. :

More McGleflan. Correspondence A Letter
from the President
' In the . Hon. Henry. J. .. Raymond's new
volume. "A History of President Lincoln's
Administration," occurs the following hith
erto unpublished letter of Mr. Lincoln to
General McClellan: . -.7 . , iu
Fortress Monroe, May 9, 1862.
My Dear Sir have just assisted the
Secretary of War in forming the part. of a
despatch to you, relating to " army corps,
which dispatch, of course, will have reach
ed vou long before this will. I wish to say
a lew words to you privately on this sub
ject. I ordered the armv corps organiza
tion not only on the unanimous opinion of
the twelve generals of division, but also on
the unanimous opinion of every miliiiiry
man I could get an opinion from, and every
military modern book,, yourself" only accept
ed. Of course, I did not on my own judg
ment pretend to understand the subject.
I now think it indispensible for you to know
how your struggle against it is received in
quarters which we cannot entirely disregard.
It is looked upon as merely an effort to pam
per one or two pets, and to persecute and
degrade their supposed rivals. I havo had
no word from, bumner, Hointzelman or
Keyes. The commanders of these corns aro,
of course, the three highest officers witn you,
but I am constantly told ' that you have no
consultation or communication with them ;
that you consult and communicate with no
tody but Fit z John Porter and perhaps Gen.
Franklin. I do not say these complaints
are true or just ; but at all events it is prop
er you should know of their existence. Do
the commauder8 of the corps disobey your
orders iu anything ? , . : .
When you relieved Gen. Hamilton of Lis
command tho other' day, you thereby lost
the confidence of at least one of your best
friends in the Senate. - And here let me say,
not as applicable to you personally, that Sen
ators and Representatives speak of me in
their places as they please without question ;
and that officers of the army must cease ad
dressing insulting letters to them for taking
no greater liberty with them. But to return,
are you strong enough, even with my help,
to set your foot upon the neck of Sumner,
Heintzelman, and Keyes, all at once? This
is a practical and very serious question for
you.. Yours truly, , . A. Lincoln..
7 How Mr. Mechi Ploughs. " ""!:
Mr. Mechi, the great English farmer.is as
earnest as to the effect of deep cultivation
as in most of tLo ether subjects he advo
cates. He says that his neighbor. Dr. Rath
bon. of Rivenhall, once pulled up a parsnip
with a vertical root 18 feet. 10 inches lontr.
besides the farther piece left by its breaking
off. This was in ' a bank of earth 20 feet
deep, that fell over loosely when exe&vated. "
As a general rule, the Aklerman does, not,
therefore, advocate ploughing a rod or so in
depth t but he wants farmers to imitate
more closely than they do the practice, of
successful market gardeners,, who 'always
cultivate much deeper : than is, done with
field crops. As to his own practice, he says :
"From sixteen to twenty years ago I broke
up much of my land, by six - horses follow
ing in the track ot the plow, drawa by three
horses, aud in this very year I could see the
great contrast in a part of the field where I
had omitted to do this. To-day lam follow
ing the two-horse plow, with four horses at
tached to an iron plough without the breast.
The sub-soil breaks up, boils over, and in
termixes with the top-soil and manure, and
as it flows over you see the strong roots of
old weeds torn from their hitherto safe resi
dence, but condemned now to destruction" or
removal. "j . . .
The "Biggest" Oil Well.
The Hammond Well on the widow Mc
Cliustock farm, which was struck a.' few
days since, is now the- biggest thing iii ' oil
dom. The Register says : ; "At first; 'eo
great was the amount of water, that ' t&ere
was considerale trouble in exhausting it.
But now it is flowing oil, and clearing it
self nicely from the water. It is estimated
to flow nearly 600 barrels of oil ner dav. and
over 750 barrels of water and oil, with a fair
nrosnwt ot an incrrasn . Thia. tnolrM it
01 an increase. This
the larcest producing well in the oil region :
The Noble well is producing scarcely 500
barrels per day. The Manle Shade scarce-
ly 150 barrels of oil." The principal own
er of the new well, Mr. Hammond, has been
laboring in the oil district for year. with
very indifferent success, but now his per
severance will be handsomely rewarded.
A very pleasant interview is said to have
taken place, a few mornings ago between
Preasident Lincoln and the schoolmaster
w ho taught him the rudiments wien a little
boy. Mr. Lincoln gave a warm -grasp to
the hand that once wielded the birch across
his juvenile trowsers, and the "Jolly Old
Pedagogue" was delighted with the cordial
reception he met with. The schoolmaster
is about ten years elder than his former
pupil. . ". ' .
