COMPROMISE.
Tits veriest spawn of the "Father of Lies"
Ic that creeping creature called Compromise
A slimy thing in villainous guise.
With the pompous title—Compromise
The tool of the weak—the scorn of the wlao,
Oh 1 men I beware of Compromise I
Crooked and dark the pathway Iles
Before the fiend named Compromise
Avoiding the gleam of good men's eyes,
Characterless crawls Compromise.
Two cowards et war—one of erlex,
"Let's settle the matter by Compromise!"
fie, wrapped In a sereen that detection defies,
In stalk!" the umpire—Compromlee.
Two thieves who grasp at a stolen prise,
Divide the spoils by Compromise—
A country groans and a nation sighs
Wheel the leaden turn to Compromise
Though fools may hops to strengthen ties
lly Cotton bands of Compromise.
It you wish to see a uatlon rho,
Daro to speak or Co[ripromlse I
Accursed be he who nulls or buys
Ills country's honor with Compromise!
Hang him high, and otter he dies.
Write on his tomb-stone Compromise!
Can ye never a plan devise
To save your land but Coinpromiset
Come to your serums! Up! Arise
Bre ye strike one rock of Compromlee!
THE BATTLE.
A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION'
[Frotl the New York World
The Heat of the Contest
It was noon, and now the battle com
menced in the fierceness of its most Pk'
tended fury. The batteries upon the dis
tant:hill began 'to play upo'n our own, and
upon our advancing_ troops, with hot and
thunderous effect. Carlisle answered for
us. and - Sherman for Hunter's Division,'
while the great 32-pounder addressed
itself resistlessly to the alternate defences
of the foe. The noise of the cannonading
was deafening and , continuous. Converse
ly to the circumstance of the former en
gagement, it completely drowned, at thin
period, the volleys of the musketry and
riflemen. It blanched the cheeks of the
villagers tit Centreville, to the main street
of which place some of the enemy's rifle
shell were thrown. It was beard at Fair
fax, at Alexandria, at - Washington-itself.
Five or six heavy batteries, were in op
eration at once, and to their clamor was ad
ded the lesser yell of twenty thousand small
arms. What could we civilians see of the
fight-at this time ? Little; yet perhaps
more than any who engaged in it. How
'Anxiously we strained our eyes to catch
the various movements,„ thoughtless of
everything but the spectacle, and the suc
cesses or reverses of the Federal army.—
Our infantry were engaged in woods and ^
meadows beyond our view. We knew
not the nature or position of the force
they were fighting. But now and then
then there would be a fierce rush into the
open prospect, a gallant charge on one
side and a retreat on the other, and we
saw plainly that our forces were gaining
•'nd, and - ldily - kg their ad-
Ivement, which

ley ilea from
into the open
geld. Then - we saw our own Sixq-nititli
and Seventy-ninth, corps annimated by a
chivalrous national rivalry, press on to the
support of the more distant column. We
could catch glimpses of the continual ad.
vances and retreats ; could here occasion
ally the gunt of a battery before undis
covered ; could guess how terribly all this
accumulation of death upon death must
tell upon those undaunted men, but could
also see—and our cheers continually fol
lowed the 'knowledge—that our forces
were gradually dri'ing the right of the
enemy around the second quarter of a cir
cle. until by ten o'clock the main , battle
was raging at a paint almost directly- op-
posite.one"standing - Oace—the road at the

All eyes were directed to the - distant
hill-top, now the : centre of the fight. Ali
could see the enemy's Infantry ranging
darkly against the sky beyond, and the
first lines of our men moving with fine
determination up the steep slope. The
cannonading upon our advance, the strug.
gle upon the hill-top, the. interchange of
position between the contestants, were
- Watched by us, and as new forces rushed
in upon the enemy's side the scene , was
repeated over and over again. It must
have been here, I think, that the Sixty
ninth touk and lost a battery eight times
in succession, and finally were compelled,
totally exhausted, to resign the comple
tion of their work to the Connecticut re.;
giments which had just come up. The
Third Connecticut finally carried t hat sum
tnit, unfurled the Stars and Stripes above
it, and paused front the fight to cheer for
the Union cause.
Then the battle began to work down .
the returning half of the circle, which the
enemy described during the day, driven
before the desperate charges of our troops,
until they reached the very point where
Tyler's advance commenced the action.
Down the hill, and into the valley thick:
eta on the left, the Zouaves, the Connecti:
cut and New York Regiments, with the
unconquerable Rhode [slanders, drove the
continually enlar g ing but always van;
quished columns of the enemy. It was
Only to meet more batteries, earthwork
sue ,coding earthwork, ambuscade after
ambuscade. Our fellows were hot and
weary; most had drank no water during
' hours of dust, and smoke, and insufferable
heat. Nu one knows what choking the
battle atmosphere produces in a few trio
!nous, until he has personally experienced
it And so the conflict lulled fur a little
while. It was the middle of a blazing af
ternoon. Our -regiments held the posi
tions they had won, but the enemy kept
receiving additions, and continued a flank
movement toward our left—a dangerous
movement for us, a movement which those
in the rear perceived, and vainly endeav
ored to induce some general officer to
guard against
- Here was th , great blunfler, or misfor
tune, of the battb. A misfortune, that we
had tie troops in reserve after the Ohio
regiments were again sent forward, this
time to assist in building a- bridge across
the run on the Warrenton _road, by the
side of the stone bridge knovia t 9 be
mined. A blunder, in that the last re
serve was sent forward at all. It should
have been retained to guard the rear of
the left, and every other regiment should
have been promptly recalled over the
route by which it had advanced, grdered
only to maintain such positions as rested
on a supported, continuous line General
Scott says, to-day, that our troops had al
,
ready accomplished three - days' - works and
.should have rested long before. 'But Mc-
Dowell tried, to vanquish the South in a
single struggle, and the sad result is be
fore us. - ,
As it was, Captain Alexander, with his
Sappers and Miners, was ordered to cut
through the abattis by the side of the
mined bridge, in the valley directly before
us, and lay pontoons across the stream.—
Carlisle's Artillery was detailed to protect
the work, and the Ohio and ‘Visconsin
reserve to support the artillery. Mean
while,•in the lull which I have mentioned,
, the thousand heroic details of Federal
valor and the shamelessness of rebel treach
ery begun to reach our ears. We learned
the loss of the brave Cameron, the wound
in,'e' of Heintzelinan and Minter, the fall
ofllagerty and Slocum and Wilcox.—
We heard of the dash of the Irishmen
and their decimation, and of the havoc
made and sustained by the Rhode island
ers, the Highlanders, the- Zouaves, and
Connecticut Third; than of the intrepid
ity of, Burnside and Sprague•-. , - , how the
devoted and daring young Governor led
the regiments he had so munificently e
quippe-d- again - and atrain - to - victorious
charges and at last spiked, with his own
hands, the guns he could not carry away.
The victory seemed ours: It was an hour
sublime in unselfishness, and apparently
glorious in its results.
At this time, near 4 o'clock, I rode for
ward through the open plain to the creek
where the abattis was be'ng assailed by
our engineers The o,hip,,,.connecticut,
and Minnesota regiments were variously
posted. thereabout; others were in distant

"you Must leave with the rest." "3'll
be d-.-d if I will," was his sullen reply,
and the splendid fellow rode book to make
his way as best he could. Meantime, I
saw officers with leaves and eagles on
their shoulder-straps, majors and eolonelsil
who had deserted their comrades, pass
one galloping as if for dear life - No, en.

which crowded it. Only one field officer,
so far as my observation extended, seemed
to have remembered his duty.
Lieutenant Colonel Speideb aoreigner
attached to a Connecticut regiment, strove
against the current for a - league. I pos,
itively declare that with • the two excep
tion's mentioned all efforts made to check
the panic before Centreville was :reached
were confined to civilians. I saW a man
in citizen's dress, who had thrown off his
coat., seized a musket, and was trying to
rally the soldiers who came by at the
point of the bayonet. In reply tonAues

Hon. Mr. Kellogg made a similar effort.
Bath these Congressmen bravely stood
their ground till the last monientp and
were serviceable at Centreville in _assist

other civilians did-what they-could,
But what a scone! and how terrific the
onset of that tumultuous retreat. For
three miles hosts of. Federal troops—all
detached from their regiments, a/I min
gled in one disorderly route—were fleeing
along the road, but mostly through the
I lots on either side. Army Wagons .sut
lets' teams, and private carriages choked
the passage, tumbling against each Other,
amid clouds of dust, and slekebing sights
and sounds Hacks, containing unlucky
spectatoys of the late affray, were smashed
like glass, and the ocoupante went lost

lery, such as was saved, came thundering
along, smashing and overpowering every
thing The regular cavalry, 1 record it
to their. shame, joined in the. melee,
adding to its terrors, for they rode down
footmen without mercy. One of the
great guns was. overturned, and lay amid
the ruins of n caisson, as I passed it.. I

The carriage bounded from the roughness
of a steep hill leading to a creek, he lost
his hold, fell, and in an instant the great
wheels had crushed the life out of him.
Who ever saw such a flight? Could
the retreat at Borodino have exceeded it

of strength, was covered with - the frag=
ments of its retreating forebs, chattered'
and panic stricken in a single day. From
the branch route, the trains attached to

past groups of straggling fugitives, to
Fairfax - , where Colonel Woodbury was

movement of the enemy, and on again to
Long Bridge and the Potomac. But the
van of the runaway soldiers had made
such time that I found a host of them at

sentinels to allow them to cross the bridge.
To-day we learn of the safe retreat of the
main body of the tinny; that they were
feebly followed by the rebels as far as

OUR FAT CONTRIBUTOR IN THE
ROME GUARD.
The moment the Flag was threatened,
large bodies of men were called upon to
rally in its defence. Being a large-bodied
man, I rallied, and enrolled myself with
the Home Guards. The drill is very se
vere on me this hot weather, although I
am constantly allowed an, attendant with
a fan and a pitcher of ice water.
I am constantly reminded that one of
the first requirements of a soldier is to
throw out his chest and draw iu his stom
ach. Having been burned out several
times while occupying rooms in an attic,
I have had considerable practice in throw
ing out my chest, but by what system of
practice could I ever hope to draw in my
stomach ? I can't "dress up"—it's no
use trying. If my vest buttons are in line
I as fur in the rear, and if I toe the mark
fearful - bulge indicates my position.—,
(Tlieti is-no room for'argument in regard
to my sentiments—everybody can see at
a glance just where 1 stand) One eve
ning we had a new drill sergeant<who was
near-sighted. Running his eye down the
line, he exclaimed sharply:
" What is that man doing in the ranks
with a bass drum ?"
He pointed at me, but I hadn't any
drum—it was the surplus stomach that I
couldn't draw in.
I am the butt of numberless jokes, as
you may well suppose- They have got a
story . in the Guards that when I first heard
the command, " Order arms !" I dropped
my musket, and taking out my note-book
began to draw an order on the Governor
for what arms I wanted. They say I or
dered a Winans steam gun, with a pair of
Dahlgren howitzers for side arms! Base
fabricators ! My ambition never extend
ed beyond a rifle cannon, and they knew
it.
Although in resptct to size I belong to
the "heavies,' my preference is for the
light infantry service. My knapsack is
marked, light infantry. One evening the
spectators seemed convulsed about some
thing, and my comrades tittered by pla
toons whenever iny:back was turned. It
was all a mystery to me until I laid off
my knapsack Some wretch had erased
the two final letters, arid I bad been pa
rading all evening labelled " LIGHT IN
FANT !" The above is one of the thous
and annoyances to which I am subjected,
and nothing but4ny consuming patriot
ism could ever induce me to submit to it.
I rallied arthe call of my country, and am
not to be put out by the rallying of my
comrades.
I overheard a spectator inquire of the
drill sergeantone day:
" Do you drill the whole of him at
once ?"
"No," he returned, in an awful whis
per, " I drill him by squads !"
I would have drilled him if I had had
a bayonet.
Specifications have been published in
regard to my uniform, and contractors ad
vertised for. '1 he - making will be let out
to the lowest responsible bidder. In case
the Guards are ordered to take the field,
a special commissary will be detailed to
supply my rations. That reminds me of
a harrowing incident. On last drill night,
an old farmer who dropped in to see us
drill, took me aside, and said he wanted to
sell me a yoke of powerful oxen.
"My ancient agriculturalist," said 1,.
smiling at his simplicity, " I have no use
for oxen."
" Perhaps not at present," quoth ho,
but if you go to war you will want
hem."
"For what ? said I, considerably an-'
noyed.
" Want 'em to d'aw your rations!"
. The Guards paid me a delicate compli
ment at the last meeting. They elected
me "Child of the Regiment," with - the
rank of first eorpulant, and the pay of
chief" Blowyer." - was about to return
thanks in a neat and appropriate specok
when a reporter who was present assured
me it was no uhe—he bad got the whole
-
thing in type, ape °oh and all,Ated I could.
read it in the evening paper. He said
they
,kept a'"neat nd - appropriati speech"
standing in type continually. r I - got his
views, and held my peace. •

A Pen Portrait of Mr. Lincoln.
The most careful .observer must. bare
noticed in the face of the President a very
singular combination of mirthful humor,
of keen appreciation of the.ludieromii with
a saddened, dreamy. abstract expression
which somehow impresses one with mel
ancholy. - Mr. Willis in his last letter i to
the Rome Journal analyzes and defines
this two-fold outlook, as follows:
" There was a momentary interval (at
flag•raisin ,, in Washington) - Whilh the
band . playecrthe "Star Spangled Banner,"
and, during this, brief"waiting for the
word," all. eyes - , of course, were on the
President's face,' in Which (at leas for
those near enough to see it well) "there
was the same curious problem of ()nuts
sion which has been more than once no
ticed by the close observer of that singu
lar countenance--the two-fold Ivoillitig of
the two-fold nature of the man. Lineeln
the westerner, slightLy_humorous- but
thoroughly practical and sagacious,- was
measuring " the chore," that was to be
done, and wandering whether that String
was going to draw that heap of *stuff
through the hole in the top of the pavilibn
—determining that it should, but-ageing
clearly that it was mechanically a badly
arranged job, and expecting the difficulty
that did actually occur. Lincoln the
President and statesman was another na
ture, seen in those - abstract and ierioits
eyes, which seemed withdrawn to an inher
sanctuary of thought, sitting in judgment
on the scene and following its far reach
into the future. A whole man, and an
exceedingly " handy" and joyous one was
to hoist the flag; but an anxious ancirev
erent and. deep thinking- statesman--and
patriot was to stand apartwhildit'wentuf, -
and pray God for its long waving-and sa
cred welfare. Completely and yet separ
ately, the one strange face told 'both sto
ries, and told them well.
" I Was pleased though not surprised to
find that the same impression of the Won
li derfully distinct and two-fold nature of
of Mr. Lincoln had been 'wide upork an
eye full of genius which saw . him >for the
first tiMe today. In a converiation
Miss Stebbins, the inspired sculptrese of
the " Letus-eater,” this evening, I heard
her express the same thought as to the
strong and honest good humor of the
physical nature, combined with the stand
ing apart expression of the serious and far.
seeing eyes."
THE SAILOR ASH THE ACTRESS.
" When I was a poor girl," said the
Dutches of St. Albans, " working very)
hard for my thirty shillings a week, Twent
down to Liverpool during the holidays,
where I was always kindly .received. I
was to perform in a new piece, something
like those pretty little affecting dramas"'
they get up now at our minor theatres;
and in my character I represented ponri:
friendless orphan girl, reduced to the
most wretched poverty. A heartless trades.,
man prosecutes the sad heroine foi a heavy
debt, and insists upon putting her pri-,
son, unless some one will be bail for her.
The girl replies, then I have no: hope.
I have not a friend in the world.' , What,'
will no one be bail for - . you, to save you,
from prison 1' asks the stern creditor. 'I.,
told you I have not a friend on' eartli,'-,
was my reply. But just as I was uttering,
these words", I saw a sailor in the upper
gallery springing over the railing, letting
himself down from one tier to. Another, ,
until he bounded clear over the orchestra
and footlights, and placed himself beside
me in a moment. Yes, you shill have. , •
one friend, at least, my poor young
man,' said he, with great expression in',
his honest, sunburnt countenance. 'l4
will go your bail to any amount. And ,
for you (turning to the frightened actor,),',
if you don't bear a hand, and shift - your ,
moorings, you lubber, it will be worse for
you when I come athwart your bows.'—.
Every creature in the house rose; . the up.;
roar was indescribable; peels of laughter ; ;
screams of tetror, cheers from his mess i
mates in the gallery, preparatory scraping
of the violins from the orchestra,, and
amidst the universal din, - there stood - the ,
unponseious cause of it, sheltering me;:••':
the poor distressed young woman,' . :and:• ,
