They are all in the army,-.
My three brave, gallant boys;
They're changed the peace of home life'
For martial pomp and joys.
It tore my heart-strings sadly
To see them march away.
lint When their country called them,:
I. could not say them nay.
There's one that grasps a-true sword,
Commissioneil to command;
There's one within the ranks found
'With musket in his hand ;
There's one; and he my youngest,
Whose stirring drum doth beat •
The fatittless, martial measure
,For proudly stepping feet.
Their father fought before them
On many a bloody plain—
At Erie and at Chippewa,
At York and Luudy's Lane,
0, may his ,spirit, nerve them
tilien in the battle's brunt;
For should they fail, VII know then
They bear their wounds in front. 1
God shield my three brave darlings
Throughout these crimson - Tarsi
God help them in defending
Ottr good old Stripes and Stars!
God =peed thein on their naission
, To quell the Rebel foe f
With strength; that each arch-traitor '
May need no second blow.
'And when my youngest boy beats
The loud long roll at night, .
That tells of foes advancing,
And bids them arm for fight,
God give unto my other boys.,
Amid the battle's flame,
-To one—a dashing soul to leak;
To one—unerring aim.
•The list of slain end wounded
I'll read with trembling breath,
TO'see how many darling sons
Have Met untimely death.
And should mite be among them,
And fell the there like braves,
I would not wish them holier death,
Nor ask them prouder graves!

Peter Cartwright is known throughout

ter to his fellow veteran, Dr. Elliot, edit
or of the Central Advocate, he writes :
" rf your own money is dead, bury it, and
preach its funeral sermon, but do not
charge the expenses to me, but to the se--
eessionists. I hope Gen. Lyon will catch
Tory Jackson, and hang Min on the first

arm - themselves from head to heels, and:
shoot down every traitor they come to.

to be .destroyed, I hope the Lord wilt do
it, and not give us into the power of to

Our exchanges throughout the State
giiie the most flattering accounts of the
crops. All through Pennsylvania., the
wheat crop is more.,than an average' one,
pod is being harvested in good condition.
The bay, although not heavy, is of an un
usually good quality. The corn and po
tatoes are somewhat backward, but they
lot& well, and' the recent genial showers,
will insure a good product. , With the'
exception of fruit, there wilLbe in Penn
sylvania more than an average crop this
year.
The crops in Kansas are represented to
bo in a most flourishing 'condition. The

of the farm and prdetv, .promise anabun

which prevailed in that , country only a

gratifying.
