From Zion's Herald
I DREAMED OF HOME.
The Pun had set beneath Virginia's sky,
The gloom of eve bad risen from the east,
The stars peeped forth from out the vault on high,
Shedding-their lustre o'er earth's mosey breast.
So calm! so silent! Not a Round was hoard,
Save now and then the chirping of a bird.
'Twas then I lay me down upon my pillow,
A soldier's pillow—a knapsack hard and warn,
Beneath the shelter of a drooping willow,
To nest my weary limbs till break of morn.
Thu• on my earthly couch 'neath heaven's bright
dome,
I fell asleep, end sleeping, dreamed of home
I dimmed my soldier labors all were o'er,
Service expired, and homeward I dlid his
To that loved spot whore I should meet once more
The dear ones I had left In days gone by.
The train sped swiftly on its homeward track,
As if in baste to bring the soldier back.
Home! home! I see it as i round the turn,
The head grows dirty and the pulses leap;
Impatient, mixed with joy-0 how I yearn
To meet those loved ones—how I laugh, then
weep.
Home! Yes, 'tis home; father and mother there,
Sister and brother to my bliss to share.
There is the hillside ; wh, ro T used to play ;
There is the brooklet, that I loved so well;
The same cld rocks of gneiss and granite gray
And there beneath lies the mossy dell.
Yet best of all there is my edttage home,
Thither I'm lusting, nevermore to roam.
The old church bell It strikes upon my ear!
How oft I hastened at its plaintive cull
WiOlin those waits so sarred; there to hear
The story of our saviour's love to all.
fling out, old bell! Your tones are sweet to me,
Jlltit uow 1 ask no richer melody.
My journey o'er. I hasten up the street,
ith nimble steps travel the wall-Worn lane;
Knock at the door—•" 0 happiness complete !"
The loved returned, the lost Is found again."
"0 blessed hour! What ocstacies, what joy,
0 welcome, wsLoisa, WELCOME home, my boy!
I felt my mother's hand upon my head,
I saw tears flowing, and I thought she spoke;
I forward bent to catch the words she sold—
, Just then the bugle enuuded—l awoke.
The mot n had dawned, my pleasant dreams were o'er,
I found myself a soldier as hoC ro.
1 had but dreamed, yet moments happy those,
I woke with courage, hoPeand trust within;
Resolved to firmly bear my sold for woes,
Till comes the welcome—" home again:"
I slung my knapsack, seized nip trusty gun,
Lad ere the sue mot", we were marching on."

On Saturday evening, under the auspices
of the National Union League, the hall was
filled to it capacity, notwithstanding the in
clement st.•ate of the weather, on the occasion
of an address by General John Cochrane, of
New York. The staging was prettily dee‘'s.
rated with the star-Tangled banner. The
West Philadelphia Military Hospital Band
was present and discoursed most eloquent
music.
At the appointed hour General Cochrane,
flanked right and ln. by General Cameron
and Morton McMichael, Esq., was conduct

remarks. [Great applause.] ° j

The venerable chairman of the U nion
Executive Committee of the State, General
Cameron, being thus introduced, said that
he had come to the meeting to-night to in
troduce General John Cochrane, of New
York. [Applause.] It gave the speaker
infinite pleasure to say that be had known
him for years as a public man, and of all pub
lic men, he knew of no one actuated by more
solid or disinterested potriotism than he.
[Great applause.]
It so happened that in the early period of
the rebellion he, the speaker, had something
to do, because of an official position that he
then held. Ile had his own views, the same
as any other man. At that time General
Cochrane, then a Democrat, called upon him,
and offered his services to assist in crushing
the rebellion. He speedily raised a regiment,
and in a short time was ready on the field,
Hundreds and thousands of men offered
-there was an uprising throughout the land.
ltmay be said that the country was overrun
with patriots ready and anxious to resent
the insult given to the flag of the Union.
[Applause.]
Gen. Cochrane's;views and my own agreed
as to the method of squelching the rebellion.
A carte blanche was given him, and in a
short time ho responded with twelve or thir
teen hundred men. Gen Cochrane, in that
titan of excitement, calmly viewed the con
tending elements, and in progressing with
the war be made certain suggestions, or pro

now proceeded to show the great importance
of standing shoulder to shoulder in this con
test; with a full reliance on Divine Provi

election of President Lincoln. [Long con
tinued applause.] The country at. this time
can get no other man to do better than Abra
ham Lincoln. [Applause.] As the war
progresses we are the'better enabled to speak
from experience, and he was free to say that
the President is too sagacious not to take
notice of the signs of the times ; he felt free
to say that when he is re-elected he will call
around him a new set of teen, tt•ho will give
him the required support, and bring the re
bellion to a speedy close, and a lasting,
honorable peace. [Tremendous - and long
continued applause.] NeW men who will
willingly assist him. [Renewed applause.)
This is the feeling in the State, and with
this feeling we renew our efforts, and that he
will be triumphantly elected there can not
be a single doubt among intelligent men.
[Great applause.] General Cameron now
alluded to a tour that he had just taken in
parts of the State, and he assured the im
mense audience that, in all his experience as
a public man, he never saw such enthusiasm;
the tires of patriotism are burning brightly
on the mountain and in . the vale; the old
flag floats in the pure gushing breeze of the
interior, cheering the heart of every patriot,
and making hint feel anxious for the day to
come when he shall cast a full vote to sustain
that glorious emblem of our nationality by
supporting all its standard-bearers. We
shall have . increased strength in the Legisla

rqpresentation in Congre , s. [More ap
plause.] Remember there never was a
time that the November election did not in-
OW vote over that polled in October
then let us prepare for the State contest,
carry our ticket, and the vote for President
Lincoln and Johnson in the following month
will be so overwhelming as to break down
the already crushed spirit of the rebellion
and the leaders. [Enthusiastic applause.]
General Cameron now very handsomely in
troduced General Cochrane, amid the
wildest applause from every part of the

CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14,,1864.
It has occurred to me, therefore, to detain
you but a short while, with a running com
mentary upon the position to which we have
attained; not the material position of war
merely, the position which principal requires
that you should establish.and decide. With
out this principle you arc at loss, floating and
buffeted upon a tempestuous ocean. What
is the issue ? As I have been taught to be
lieve, party issues are buried, obliterated,
effaced. Ask yourselves what issue is there
now prevailing that once decided and dis
criminated between what was formerly a
Republican and Democratic party. None.
Both claim to be Union lovers ; both claim
to be Union preservers. The great issue
upon which westand divided had neVer been
dreamed of ; certainly had never protruded
out above the barrier of party politics. Sud
denly the detonation of arms was heard ;
suddenly the explosion of war stunned your
ears; The din of marching myriads was
heard ove the hind, and now after nearly
four years of conflict we stand here this night
with that ideiltical issue thus created, and
thus prepared for you to accept, discuss, de
termine. What is the issue ? My fellow-cit
izen, is it nut singular that here upon the
eve of a great election circumstances should
warrant the propounding of such a question?
—and is it not very singular that however
plain and transparent events may be, there
are those among US who are altogether be
wildered, if not entirely benighted, upon the
one subject which constitutes the force and
efficacy of this occasion', - Why, the i.•sue is
plainly and definitely Union on this one side
and disunion no the other. [Applause.] Pre
cipitated, as I have already declared to you
to war, the inquiry arises, how was the issue
prepared ? Why, 1 am answered here and
there throughout this vast throng, that the
main pre p aration has been front the founda
tion of our Government ; from the period of
its recognition of the institution of slavery.
This, fellow-citizens, in many respect is true,
but it requires sonic discussion in order to
present pnlwrly the hearing and true im
port of the proposition upon the theory of
which 11101 TS this war. I, for one, believe
this: That the situ pie issue of Union and
disunion i , the issue as between superior and
L inferior civilization. It is, in truth, II war
between incompatible forces. Now do not
he alarmed with the iniaginatisin that I trill
to I ‘ll . glige in and present to yon illi abstruse
argument here this eVenin . , . Nothing i 4
further from my intention ; but I. may say
this : That from the moment within the
bosom of one comtitutedcgovernment two
system.: of labor were introduced—namely
lay: , labor at the South, and paid labor
at the North—two incompatible and ex
plosive elemeuta were permitted to en
ter that ultimately inu4 have produced the
very war in which we are engaged. [Ap
plause.] It is immaterial whether the imme
diate cause of this war was that your fiery
Southerner was not giatilled with the pro_
t ,, etion Of slavery in We Territories, nor is it
of all y moment whatever that he bud or had
11111 all llll_• constitutional guaranteeg that he
claimed. It is of con-equctlen, however, for
me and all of you to determine that the eau,
which ha, effected this divergence of the two
sections of the country and ultimately pro.
duced 0 , 11 IE I I, WIN n cause located far back

Two contending armies—one for the Uziion,

Cessation of hostilities now on our part 'is
disunion. The Chicago men declare other
wise. They go into conclusive hysterics
over the word Union ; but let us see what
construction is put upon this language by
sympathizers more honest than they.
The London Times is in favor of the Chi
cago platform. The London Post (the or
gan of the aristocracy of Great Britain, who
looks upon us as upon a viper fanged) declares
that the Chicago platform is the platform for
the Union, So with the Journals of France.
And then, what is more, the rebels them
selves declare that if they can but continuo
this war until the November election' the
success of the Democratic party will have
achieved for them what their arms have been
unable to accomplish. These are the certain
tests by which to apply the term " Union''
employed by them in their platform, and the
language also used in the letter of their can
didate in his acceptance. Now, fellow citi

like myself, belonged at one time to the Dem

difficulties were precipitated upon us, rose,
as we supposed, above the barriers of party,
and arrayed ourselves under the standards of
our country, [Applause.] I will be frank
with you to-night. You supposed it was
possible to engraft upon the party creed of
that glorious traditionary body, the instincts
and declarations of war. Tho serious and

LA MARSEILLAISE ;
Genius, Despair, and 'Triumph
It was during the early days of the great
Revolution of liM 4 9, in the year I7tw, when a
young officer in delicate health took up his
quarters in the city of ...Marseilles fur the six
months of his leave of absence. It seemed
strange retirement fur it yinlllg mnu, for is
the town he know no one, and in the depth
of Winter ..Marsei'les was no tempting resi
dence. The officer lived in a garret looking
out upon the street, which had for its sole
furniture a harpsichord, a bed, a table and a
chair. Little but paper ever entered that
apartment, where food and fuel both were
scarce; and yet the young man generally
remained in-doors all day, assiduously writ
ing, or rather dotting something on paper,
an occupation,he alternated with 11111,le.
Thus passed many months. The young
man grew thinner and paler, and his leave
of absence appeared likely to bring no con
valescence. But he was handsome and in
teresting, despite his sallow hue. Long hair,
full beaming eyes that spoke of intelligence,
and event genius, frankness of manner, all
prepossessed in his favor, and many a smile
and look of kindliness came to him from
beautiful eyes that he noticed not, nor eared
to notice. In fact, he rarely went ma, but
at night, and then to walk down by the boom
' ing sea, which made a kind of music he
seemed to love. Sometimes, it is true, ho
would hang about the theatre when the operas
were about to be played, and look with long
ing eye within ; but be never entered ; either
his purse;or ; his inclination failed him. But
he always examined with care the name of
the piece and its author, and then walked
_away to. the_sca-shore, to muse and Meditate.
Shortly after his arrival in Marseilles, he
visited, one after another, all the
musicsell
ors and publishers in the town with a brindle
of manuscripts. Some bad detained him a
long time, as if estimating the value of the
goods he offered for sale; but these were no
more tempted, than others to try the sale
able character of le commodity. The house
ho lodged in had attached to it a large gar
den. By permission of the landlord, the
young man often selected it for hls evening
Walks, and, despite the cold,- would some
times sit and muse in a rude and faded bow
er under a wall at ono end of the gables.—
Here he would occasionly oven sing, in a low
tone, seine. of his own compositions. It hap
pened once or twice that when he did so, a
female head protruded from the window, and
was seeming to listen. The young man at,
length noticed her.
"Pardon, lady," said he one oveuing,
"perhaps I.disturb you? "
4 4 Not at all," she replied, " I am fond of
music, vary fond, and the nits you ,hum are'
new to me. Pray, if not a rude Question,
whose are they ?"
"Citoyenno," he answered, diffidently,
"they are my own:"

of glory and renown—the day-dream of all

Scarcely had he left the house, than a lady
!Ladled in a cloak and hood, entered it ; and
after a somewhat lengthened conference with
his conceirge, ascended to his room, and re
mained their about an hour. At the end of
that time she vanished. It was midnight
when the composer returned. Ho entered
with difficulty, the Cerberus of the lodge be

room. He had left it littered and dirty,
without light, tire or food. To his surprise
a cheerful blaze sent its rays beneath the
door. Ile opened it, not without alarm, and
found his apartment neatly ordered, a fire
burning, a lamp, and on table a supper.—
The young loan frowned and looked sternly
at the scene.
\Vho dares thus insult my poverty ? Is,
it not enough that I am starving with cold
and hunger, that I am rejected by the world
as a useless and wretched thing, incapable
of wielding either sword or pen, but I must

And the invalid officer sat down to the
first hearty meal he had eaten fnr weeks.
He had left home because his friends wholly
disapproved of his making music a profes
sion, and wished him to employ his leave of
absence in learning another occupation. His
mother so pressed Min, that ha saw nu re
source but a soldier's last chance—a retreat.
For two worths no t.raco of the fugitive had
been seen—two months spent in vain efforts to
make his chosen career support him ; and
now, doubtless, his mother had found him
out. and had taken this way of respecting his
Arecy, and punishing his pride.
Next morning the young man awoke with
an appetite unknown to him of late. The
goui•rous food of the previous night had re
stored his system, and brought him to n
natural state. Luckily sufficient wine and
bread remained to satisfy his craving, and
then he sat down to think. Ali his efforts
to get his nuisic sung, or played, or publish
ed, had been in vain. Singers knew him
not, publishers declared hint unknown, and
the publieseemed doomed never to hear him;
because they never heard him; a logical con
sequeiwe very injurious to young beginners
in literature, poesy, music and all the liberal
arts. lint he was determined to have one
more trial. flaying eaten, he dressed and

the world, his rent was in arrear, he knew
not how to dine that evening, unless, indeed,
his mother cam , to his aid—an aid he was
unwilling to receive. His soul repunged
from it, for he had parted from her in anger.
II is mother was a Royalist, he was a Repub
lican, and she had said bitter things to him
at parting. But most of all, the composer
felt one thing ; the world would never be
able to judge him, never
,be able to decide if
he had or had not merit 4; and thivwas the
bitterest grief of all.
That day was spent in moody thought.
The evening came, add no sign again of his
secret friend, whether mother or unknown
:-ympathiser.
Towards night the pangs of hunger be
came intolerable, rind after numerous parleys
with himself, the young man ascended to the
room with a heavy parcel, His eye was wild,

"Go thyself," said the composer, in a low
husky voice, and he went up stairs.
Having gained the room, the unhappy and_
misguided young man sat silent and motion
less for some hours, until at length hunger,
despair and his dreamy visions had driven
away every calm and good thought from his
head, and then he dared quietly proceed to
carry out his dreadful and desperate intent.
He closed carefully the window, stuffed his
mattress up the chimney, and with paper
stopped every aperture where air could en
ter. Then he drew forth from his parcel
charcoal and a burner, and lit it. Thus bad
this wretched man determined to cud' lips
sufferings. He had made one last effort, and
now, in that solitary, dismal garret, he laid
down to die ; and poverty arm misery, gent-,
us and death, were huddled aloso together.
Meanwhile, anaid a blaze of light, the even;
ing's amusement had begun at tho theatre.
A new opera from Paris was to be played,
,and: the prima donna was the young, lovely

M. Dupont frowned, for the air .and song

silence ; while the niusicians, roused io an

all the purity, feeling and energy of her
mirable voice, plunged her eyes into every
corner of the house—in vain. At each coup
let the enthusidsm of the people beaded
greater, the anxiety of the singer more in
tense. At length she concluded, and never
did applause more hearty, more tremendous,.
more uproarious, greet the voice of a public,
songstress. The excitable population
Marseilles seemed mad.
NO, H.
When silence was restored, Claudine
spoke. Citoyons and citoyennes 1" she
exclaimed, "this song is both' written and
composed by a young and unknown man,
who has in vain sought to put his composi
tion before the public. Everybody has re
fused it. For myself, I thought this the
greatest musical effort of modern times; and
as such I practised it to-day; and, unknown
to manager or author, I and the band pre
pared this surprise. But the author is not
here. Poor and despairing, he is at home
lamenting his unappreciated efforts!—Lot
us awake him ; let him learn that the gen
erous people of Marseilles can understand
and feel great music. Come, let all who
have hearts follow me, and chant the mighty
song as we go." And Claudine, stopping
across the orchestra, landed in the pit, and
bare-headed, light-dressed as she was, rushed;
towards the door, followed by every specta
tor and by the musicians, who, however,
put on their hats, and even threw a cloak
and cap on the excited and generous young
songstress.
Meanwhile the composer's dreadful re
solve "was being carried out. The horrid'
fumes of the charcoal filled the room'; soon
they begun to consume and exhaust the pure
air, and the wretched youth felt pangs of
coming Death. Hunger, exhaustion and de
spair kindled a kind of madness in his brain:
wild shapes danced around him : his many
songs seemed sung altogether, by coarse
husky voices, that made their sbUnd a pun
ishment ; and then the blasted atmosphere
oppressing his chest, darkening his vision,
his room scorned tenated by myriads of in
fernal and deformed beings. Then again
he closed his eyes, and soft memory stealing.
in upon him, showed him happy visions of
his yeah, of his mother, of love and joy;
of green fields and the murmuring brooks,
which had drstrevealed melody unto his soul ;
and the young man thought that death must
be soon come, and that he was on the thresh
old of a bettor world.
But an awful shout, a tremendous clamor,'
burst on his car ; a thousand voices roar be
neath his window. The young man starts
from his dream : what is this he hears?
" Aux. armec 1 cityens,
'Formez von battallioun," Lc.
• What is this?" he cries, nay Song of the
Rl ine
listens. A. beautiful and clear voice is
singing, it is still his song, and then the ter
rible chorus is taken by the people; end the
poor composer's first wish is gained, be feels
that be is famous.
But he is dying, chocked, stiff' with char
coal. He lies senseless, fainting on his bed
but hope and joy give him strength. He ri
ses, falls rather than darts across the room,
sword in hand. One blow shivers the
panes of his window, to atoms; the broken
glass lets in the cool sea-brooze and tho
splendid song ! Both give life to the young
man ; and when Claudine entered, the com
poser was able to stand. In ten minutes he
had supped in the porter's lodge, dressed and
come out, to be borne in triumph back to the
theatre, where that night ho heard, amid re
newed applause, his glorious song sung be

Ten days later, Rouget do L'lsle -was mar

to her and her countrymen, changed the
