'Olaggie, lass ! come in ! 'Tis too late
for Roger to-day," and you are at the door
all the day long."
"Nay, only when the work is all done
nr. father. I -can see Roger so much
sooner, and my heart Is heavy waitiDg for
new3.
"You heard last m6nth "
"Last month ! Yes, early in May', and
'tis now the last of June. O, father, the
days are Jong, when the ocean rolls be
tween Martin ad me 1"
' 41 You think he will send tor you soon,
lass!"
"If it were not for leaviDg you, I should
say, I hope. so. lut when 1 think ot you,
and Annie here " And Maggie's voice
faltered as she bent over the babe in her
arms. -
4Well, well, we must get on as best we
can. There, my iron is hot, and I must
stop chatting.
The heavy clang of the falling hammer
filled the blacksmith s shop ; but Maggie,
who had been hushed to sleep by such
niusie from her babyhood, mused, unheed
ing the clear, ringing sound.
She was very pretty, this lowly heroine
of mine, of the true English type, with
rosy cheeks, and a complexion pure and
white as ivory. " She had dainty rows of
white even teeth, which, with a pretty
winsome mouth, made ncr smile very
beautiful. Her brown, waving hair was
the true chestnut, throwing back in the
sunlight rays of golden threads as bright
as those or the invader who brought them
into sight. She was the eldest child of
Mark Lee, the blacksmith of the pretty
hamlet of Landsdale, and one of the belles
of the village. Yet, with the beaux of
the whole neighborhood at her feet, 3Iag
gie's constant heart had clung to the first
love of her childhood the wooer of her
girlhood, Martin. Hayes. Martin was her
cousin by courtesy, and as handsome an
English boy as ever drove a plough, or
made his bow at beauty's shrine. It
would have been a difficult matter for
either of these young lovers to tell when
they first loved. lYorn the time when
Martin, soue five years old, was first per
mitted to hold his baby cousin in his
arms, his life's devotion was hers, and she ;
gave him a sincere, earnest love in return.
So as they grew to maturity, they learned
how sad life must be to either wore they
parted, and with. the. same trusting love !
that had submitted her baby -steps to his
sturdy little arm, Magzie gave her wo- j
man's heart to his honest, manly care. j
They were very young when the black
smith opened his large eyes wide at their j
love story; but he gave them his hearty i
consent, only stipulating that Martin h
should have something wherewith to sup
port a family before he took a wife. Now,
as Martin was the eldest of nine children,
and the son of a farmer not very well to
do in liiV, this condition cost hiui many
an anxious hour. His time was. valuable
to his father, so like a dutiful son he
worked .away, hoping for a turn of For
tune's wheel, until he came of age j then,
leaving two brothers to his place, he bade
adieu to Maggie, and emigrated to Amer
ica to win the right to claim his wife.
Poor Maggie 1 It was the beginning l
of sorrow for her when Martin pressed the f
farewell kiss upon her lips, with a prom
ise to send for her as soon as the New
World had given him a niche to' place her
in. The winter which followed his dopar?
ture was a hard one, and the blacksmith's
wife died, leaving a baby only a week old
to Maggie's care. She had never had
brother nor sister before, aud this wee
burden became to her tender heart a sore
weight. She loved it passionately, but
this, very love added to her fear lest thro'.
her ignorance it should sicken, perhaps
.die. Mark wstthed with a father's love
both, worried, too; lest Maggie should tire
of her charge, or the babe suffer in such
young, inexperienced hands. Yet, as the
child grew older, and every steamer
brought good news from Martin, the old
Iislit
came back to
M aggie s
eyes, the
smiles to her lips, the roses to her cheeks!
.Martin wa3 in a pleasant situation in the
large wholesale store of feymmes & Rro.,
New. York. He had entered into their
employ as porter; but his honesty, intel
ligence, and good parts had made his
6crv ices "more valuable till he was admit
ted as confidential messenger of the coun-ting-hou?e,
respected and trusted, with a
salary that would soon warrant his sending
for Maggie to join him in America. This
was the news in his last letter, written
just two years after his departure from
England, and Maggie sat in the doorway
of the blacksmith's shop musing over it
all, thinking proudly of her Martin, ten
derly of his love, regretfully of her father,
and oh! so a&xiomd of the little sister
ou br knee.
Sometimes raising her soft, dark eyes
from Annie's laughing face, the looked

longingly down the sunny road, as if her
very wiahes could bring Roger's red coat
and go!d-bandedhat in sight. Roger was
the Queen's mail from Landsdale ; and
Roger was a boy lover of Maggie's. He
dearly loved to tease her about the 4etters,
certain that his reward for bringing one
would be the sweetest dish of fruit and
best glass of ale from Maggie's cellar.
Tho long summer afternoon was fast turn
ing to twilight, and Maggie had determi
ned to go in, thinking her hope and
watching over for the day, when Annie,
sitting up, clapped her hands to greet
Roger's pony as it came down the road on
a fu.l gallop.
"ltoger ! . Father ! He is
coming
Mark looked up, gave a little grunt of
approval, and then resumed his hammer
ing. "No letter for roe, Roger ?" askd Mag
gie, half crying, as he made a feint of
dashing past.
"Letter for you, Miss
Macie
Leti
tcr for you ? O, now you mention
it,
I think there is a letter for you. -
"Quick! Oh, Roger, how long you
fumole in that bag ! Give it tome."
uCan't. It's against orders to" trust the
mail out of our own hands. Ah !" and
he slowly dismounted and stood leaning
against a tree, just out of reach of Mag
gie's impatient hand. . '
"Oh, Roger, give it to me I"
4Mis3 Maggie Lee," read the provoking
Roger, "per Asia's mail. America oh,
pshaw ! it can't be for you. You have no
beau away out there."
"Oh, Roger, don't tease me ! Come
eive me the letter, ana vou shall have a
drausht of the old ale vou like so well."
"You are sure it is for you ?" he said,
holding it out, and Joaking with mischie
vous eyes into her smiling lace, lighten
by th'e pleasant certainty of her auxiously,
expected letter being there ac last.
"Give the lass her letter, saia Mark,
gruffly, looking up from his eternal ham
mering j" and, with a comie affectation of
extreme terror, Roger tossed the letter
into the baby's lap, sprang upon his pony,
and was off lik a shot.
There was a long, long silence. Annie
had let the soft white eyelashes falfover
her blue eyes : the long shadows were
falling around the house before Maggie
raised her eyes from her letter. Then her
father's 44 Well, 3Iaggie !" roused her.
44 He wants me to return in the Asia,
father ; or, if that is too soon, to write bv
bef at what time I can come."
"-Well, Maggie," for her voice had fal
tered, and.her eyes filled.
"Oh, father I you and Annie
"You expected it, Maggie. .You are
all ready."
"Yes; but"
"Rut you think the lassie and I will
miss vou. cjo we win, no aouet ; lor
ou've been a jrood trirl, Majrjne ; but I
ave been waiting ibr that "letter to tell
you a piece of news."
"News I and she looked up wonder-
injriv.
"1 never would have placed a step
mother over you, Maggie, for you've been
housekeper and mother; but a? you are
to go away to I pray and tract a happy
home, I am going to marry again."
"Yes she crasped ; "yes who? .
"Mrs. Lawrence. She "
. -"Oh, father 1" cried Maggie, joyfully.
"You are willing to trust Annie and me
to her'r
"Annie would have died in the first
month of her life if Mrs. Lawrence had
not been so kind to her, and so willing to
tesch me. O, father, she is so good, so
gentle ! Oh, you mrrst be happy ; only,"
and she laid her head lovingly on her
father's arm, "she must not make you
forget Mnggie."- - .
"Nothing can n:uke me forget Maggie.
Sue has been too long the sunshine of my
home for that," said her father. "Writo
to Martin -by the Asia that you will leave
in the next steamer, for you must stay to
the wedding lass."
It was a quiet, happy wedding a few
days later ; and accompanied by her fath
er, sister, and the new . mother, - Maggie
went to Liverpool. The parting was sad;
but that once over, the young girl would
let none but happy, hopeful thoughts fill
the hours of a long voyage across the
Atlantic. She was going to Martin.
Fifty times a day she looked into her
little mirror to see if she, was as fair as
when. Martin left her, and the little locket
that contained his picture was cousulted
as often, with speculations as to where
and how the past two years had changed
him. An old Irish woman, who was on
her way to iin her "two gurls, shure in
Ameriky,"0 became Maggie's especial
friend and confidant; and many an hour
was spent in telling her old frieud of her j
true-hearted manly lover. !
"You'll see him at the landing ; heMl
meet me there. I'm euro he'll meet me
for I wrote by what steamer 1 wo-'d come." I
At last the long, weary voyage was
over, and the vessel arrived at the port of
New York. Maggie's heart beat high ;
but she kept near her friend, Mrs. ' Mi
chaclhenny, watching from the deck for
the face and form she was sure she could
distinguish even in that confusing, crowd
ed'mass of human beings.-.' Mrs. Michael

latter leaning on the arm of " John Mur
phy, my husband," as Bhe proudly
introduced him, good-naturedly waitiug
with the pretty English girl, cheeringher
with hope, as her heart grew heavy with
long, weary waiting. The long day drew
to a close; and all, the passengers had
left the vessel; the wharf was cleared of
its-bustling crowd, the heavily laden drays
had "rolled off with their burdens, hacks
full of smiling friends had claimed their
relations or visitors from the steamer and
driven away, yet Martin did not come.
"Come home. with us the night' urged
Nora Murphy, "and y&u'll have the clear
day to-morrow to hunt him shurs. Johu

"Rut I am strange to you," faltered
Maggie.
"Never mind that," said Nora kindly ;
"you can stay the one night, at any rate.
Perhaps he is extra busy, and can't get
off."
Rut poor Maggie could not admit that
coinforting assurance. She felt sure that
no trifle would keep Martin from meeting
her at that time, and his employers, of
whom she had had many accounts, were
not, she was certain, the men to detain
him. With a very anxious heart, she
accepted the kindly offered hospitality of
her new friends, passing a wakeful night
full of sad fotebodings. He must be sick ;

too.- I suppose that before this reaches
you that you will have been in another.
From what you say, I suppose it is an
awful sight to see the slaughter of men.
You undoubtedly know of tho heavy
draft that is awaiting us. The people t
here are all of one mind that is to resist ;
the draffs They all say that they will
rebel against it. I don't know hew that
will work, but if they do I am in. Do
you think the soldiers will fight us if
they were brought up here to take us ? I
don't. I think they would be wise if
they would throw down their arms. Rob, j
we' had a big Democratic meeting in Ham-
llton, yesterday, and the speakers all said
they would have big fighting here soon.
One. said that Lincolu would be out of-the
White House in less than three mopths.
Rob, there must certainly be some rough
times here before long. Rob, you may
know that us boys had big times in Hutu-'

Mu.rfreeseoro, April 2, 1863.
John Your cowardly and disgraceful
letter is just received. You can better
imagine than I can define my disgust at
receiving such a contemptible and treas
onable letter from one claiming to be a
citizen of the American Republic. A
man raised and educated under tho
auspices of the best Government ever
enjoyed by any people, who has so de
generated in the scale of morality and
love of country, is an object of contempt
rather than of sympathy. I blush to
think that one of my former associates,
who but a short time since, boasted of
love for hia country and her freo institu
tions, is to-day, from motives of cowardice,
cringing in the attitude of supplication
at the shrine of the Southern Confederacy.
What has so recently come over the spirit
of your dreams, that you can thus meanly
repudiate both your God and your coun
try ? The sentiments which you express
javor very much of human depravity.
Have- you lost all tho pride of manhood ?
ILsve you become eo demoralized, as thu3
to ackuowelcdge yourself at once a traitor
7J 1863.
and a disgrace to the free institutions of
the country which gave you birth ? May
God, in his infinite justice, prosper the
glorious cause for which the Federal arms
are contending; while to the wretched
torment of fire and brimstone, in the
deepest gorge of hell, consign, not only
the rebels in arms against our govern
ment, but also and three fold mere deserv
ing the unprincipled and cowardly wretch
es who openly. avow themselves traitors,
but who have not the moral courago to
take up arms in favor of the rebellion for
which they profes? so much sympathy.
If such men as Vallandigham and his
followers expect to receive mild treatment
at the hands of the soldiers in this
department of the army, they are laboring
under a most woeful delusion. .The
scorching flames of hell would be to them
a welcome Relief if they should be unfor
tunate enough, to-fall into the hasds of
our justly indignant army. You greatly
mistake the loyalty of those who so freely
jrave their blood at the battle of Stone
River, if, for a. single moment, you
entertain the opiuion that we would justis
fy you -ia resisting the draft. We will,
with one accord, lay down our lives in
support of the cause for which we enlisted,
but never, till the last armed loe expires,
will we inloriously lay down our arms,
as intimated ia your letter. We will
return home-for uo other purpose than to
bayonet and, if need be, exterminate "all
such contemptible treason-mougers as you
have described. This letter will no
doufct conclude our correspondence, to
whien I do not object; and, since you
have taken the liberty to write such an
insulting letter to me, I.propo'se to deal
plainly with you, and, in doing so, allow
me to say that all your boast about resist
ing the draft is mere cowardly bombast.
You and. all of your stripo lack the cour
age to resist the draft. You will, no
doubt, purchase a revolver, and talk loudly
about resistance, as all cowards do ; but,
mark me for the expression, you will
never use them. I despise a coward as I
despise the Devil, and forever henoe you
arc in my humble estimation, a cringing
coward, .of the lowest order. Only think
for a single-moment of a spirit so con
temptible as to express the- viish that we
might desert the graves of our brethren
to the desecration of rebels. Go on in I
your mad career of opposition to the war,
but remember, that the day is fast
approaching when you will gladly give
jour right arm to be able to recall the
treasonable acts of the past. If you
desire to know how your letter was receiv.
ed here, you can readily determine from
the following. One of the boys present
when it was read, remarked that "If you
were here your skin would be taken off
and twisted into whip-lashes, with which
to lash your soul to llell." Ail denounce
th'o author of such a treasonable letter as
a mean, contemptible coward, who daro
not fijcht for or against his country.
With every sentiment of profound dis
gust, I subscribe myself, forever, the
enemy of traitors at homo and rebels in
in arms, whilsi I am unalterably for the
Union. R. M. M'COV,
Co. F, C3th Rcg't. OLio Volunteers.
Inciter from Mr. Chase.
The following is a correct copy of the
letter of Mr. Chose to the Loyal National
Lepgue, in response to their invitation to
attend the Sumter meeting :.
"Washington, April 9, 13G3.
"Gentlemen : Imperative demands on
my time compel me to deny myself tho
gratification of attending the meeting to
which you kindly invife me.
"You will meet to send words of cheer
to our brave generaia and soldiers ia the
Geld ; to rebuke treason in-the panoply of
war ; to maintain inviolate the integrity
of the national territory and the supremi
cy of the national constitution and laT.vs ;
to strengthen the hands and nerve the
heart of tho President for the great work
to which God and the people have called
him. For what worthier purposes can
American citizens now assemble?
"It is my fixed faith, gentlemen, that
God does cot mean that this American
republic shall perish. Notwithstanding
all the violence and all the machinations
of traitenrs and their sympathizers, on this
or thc-othcrsidc of the Atlantic, our coun
try will lire. ;
"And while our country lives, slavery,
the chie? source, aud cause, and agent of
our ills, will die. The friends of the
Union in the South; before rebellion, pre
dicted the destruction of slavery as a con
sequence of secession, if that madcess
should prevail. Nothing, in my judg
ment, is more certain than the fulfilment
of these predictions. Safe in the States,
before rebellion, from all federal interfe
rence, slavery has come out from its shel
ter, under state constitutions and laws, to
assail tho national life. It will surely die,
pierced .by its own fangs and stings.
NUMBER 32;
44 What matter, now-how it dies?
Whether as a consequence "or object of
the war what matter ? Is this a time to
split hairs of logic ? To me it seems that
Providence indicated clearly enough how
the end of slavery must come. It, comes
in rebel slave states by military order,
decree or proclamation ; not .to be disre
garded or set aside ia any event' as a
nullity, but maintained and executed with
perfect good faith to all the enfranchised;
and it will come in loyal slave states by
the unconstrained action of the people and
their legislatures, aided freely and gen
erously by their brethren of the free states.
I may be mistaken in this, but if I am
another better way will be revealed.
"Meantime it seems to me very necessa
ry to say distinctly what many yet shrink
from suying. The American blacks must
be called into this conflict, not as cattle,
not now, even, h contrabands, but as men.
In the free slates, and, by the proclama--tion,
in the rebel states, thev are free men.
The Attorney-General, iV an omnion'
which defies refutation, has prono'unced
these freemen citizens of tho United
States. Let, then, the exampleof Andrew
Jackson, who did not hesitate to opposo
colored regiments to Rritish invasion, b
now fearlessly followed. Let these black?,
acclimated, familiar with the country, ca
pable of great endurance, receive suitabla
military organization, and do their part.
We need their good will, and must make
them our friends. We must "have them
for guides, for scouts, for all military
service in camp or field for which they
are qualified.. Thm employed; from a
burflen'thcy will become a support, and
the hazards, privations, and labors of tha
white soldiers will-be proportionably di
minished. "Some will object, of course. There are
always objectors to everything practical.
Let experience dispel honest fears and re
fute captious or disloyal cavil.
"Above all, gentlemen, let no doubt
rest cn our resolution to sustain, with all
our hearts and with all our means, the
soldiers now in arms for the republic.
Let their ranks be filled nn? ihrl
supplies be sufficient and regular; let'
uieir pay ce sure. .Let nothing ba
wanting to them which can inara
activity and efficiency. Let each brave
officer and man realize that his country's
love attends him, and that his country's
hopes hang upon him; and inspired by
this thought, let him dare and do all that
is possible to be dared and done.
"So, gentlemen, with tho blessing of
God, will wc make a glorious future sure.
I sec it rising before me how beautiful
and grand ! There is.net time to speak '
of it now ; butfrom all quarters of the land
comes tho voice of the sovereign people,
