FREEDOM'S BATTLE.
Rrothers though ye strive full bravely,
In the fierce and bloody fight,
God will never let ve conquer,

When ye wriM upon your banner's

Tyrant hordes will feel the fury
Of the storm that they have braved
What.! and shall a nation glorious
BAs these proud United

Have a plague-spot, on its forehead
In the sight of heaven's own gates
Have a brothr's blood forever .
Crying" upWrard from the sod,
And not feel the

Of a sin-avenging God?
What I and shall a people conscious

Cringe, and never once look upward

she made every eye fill ; yet'her color rose
not, and' the softening influence of the
sweet sounds 'never seemed to touch the
musician:. .
To, me, this torturing coldness became,
at length, almost maddening. I dared
not speak my, love, for her. wit was often
sarcastic, and dreaded .d ;stinging re
fusal.......
One evening, shall I ever forget it? I
fouhd her at .hoine,'alone. ,Tt was a rare
privilege, and I was. tempted to give voic3
to the love filling my soul. The piano
stood open, and I the vacant stool.
"Do you play, Mr. Lee ?" she asked.
'Only by ear. Shall I slag for You ?"
She lejt. her seat and came slowly to
the instrument: Leaninc , upon it and
facing - me i -sle said quietly, "Yes, sing ?"
I 'rethernbered an old-fashioned love
song than - found amongst 'my mother's
music, aid, After a simple symphony, be-,
gan to sing. t My whole heart went forth
with the tender words, and I sang fer
vently, passionately. My'eyes were fired
on her face, and, for the first time, I read
deep feelinithere. Paler• she could not
be; but the full lips beerahe ashy-White
the large eyes dilated with some deep terJ l
ror or horror ; and the whole frame shook
with violent emotion. I finished the first
verse before she spoke ; then in a hoarse
\vhisper she said :
"Stop !do not sing any more. Stop for
pity's sake !"
Clasping her hands together she stt'oct
ere t, and then fell forwar upon herface
I s no. to raise her, brit, she slowly rose
herse f, motioning me back. Staggering
to a chair, she beckoned we to come near
her. I took a low seat at, her side.
"You love me," she said, in a low
voice. "I have known it for a long time,
and ',have parnestly tried to-chill your
unhappy paision. I can never be your
wife; I can 'never, never love you. You
are wrong to let that look of grief come on
your face, ;Rather thank God that lam
frank with you."
"In time—"l began.'

her hands' clenched with, her terrible

After awhile she resumed.
"Go ! leave me now. Bat when you

I tried to speak; bnt she only repeated,
"Go !go 1" And I left her.

prhe Pe4ce
The intriguing politicians MI6 are seek
ing to prevent a vigorous prosecution of
tie xiar, forget that we are not living in
ordinary times when their chief mission
is merely to put an Administration on
trial but that { the existence of, a nation,
and all the great interests and future Pros.-:
perity of milliens of theieconntrYmen are
;at state. No matter what men may filia
-1 of tfie past, or! what criticisms they, may
feel tnclined to make upon the Mighty
events transpiring'around us, the first at
- entton of every good citizen is due to the
stern realities of the present, and his high
est duty is to stand gallantly by. the ;Gov
ernment which, in this crisis, is the rep
resentative of the majesty, the honor, and
the Power Of the American people. FOr
the War suddenly forded upon us - by the
internal enemies of our country, weisiere
almOst totally - Unprepared, and it'was,ut
terlY impossible at the outset of the Con
flict:to foresee every contingency, to guard
agianst every error, and to do everything
in the best manner possible. 'But no ra
tional or impartial man who scrutinizes
the (course of events, can deny that an
earnest and resolute effort has been ,made
to zra" pple effectively with the extraordi
nary difficulties and embarrassments that
have unexpectedly arisen, and that when
ever experience demonstrated that any
particular regulation was eroneous or prej;
udicial, it bas been speedily corrected. -
And now, looking all the dangers which
menace us and the exact position of ' our
country as fully in the face: as posSible,
with all the light that the experience of
the , last eventful four months affords, who
does not see that the highest interests of
the loyal section of this country demand
a'vigorous and earnest suppers of the Ad
ministration in its efforts to
,suppress re
bellion, and to roll back, the tide of war
upon the wild horde that threatens to pre
cipitate itself upon the capital, that is
even nod seeking to gain possession of,
Missouri, and that boasts that it Will soon
be able to invade Pennsylvania, .tO cap
ture Philadelphia: and New York; and to
burn Boston ? We are well aware that
this is only.aia idle threat, but what a ter
rible reproach upon us it is to reflect that
.more than twenty millions of loyalpeople
should be thus persistently . and uncease
inly taunted by 9. - band of traitors, who
are not sustained by a white population'
of more than a few millions—and that
our capitol is daily and hourly threatened
by them ! We must remember that, no
matter what may be the final termination
of this struggle, our character and posi
tion in the scale of nations is now fairly
at stake, and that if we fail in a contest
where the odds are apparently so strong
ly in our favor, our doom is sealed' hence
forth and forever, and we will be regard
ed by every vigorous and intelligent pee
' pie as the veriest helots an - d cowards that
disgrace the earth. If we fail in the dis
harge of our duty, not only will the
Union be forever broken and the demons
of anarchy and discord, or of tyranny and
despotism, rei g n supreme over_ our fair
land hereafter, but all -our rights will be
ignored, our power destroyed, oar self
respect sacrificed, and our future destiny
will become as miserable, hopeles, and
disgraceful as our former history has been
glorious, prosperous, and honorable. Those
who prate to us of peace when there is
no peace, seek but to lure us to leternal
shame, misery, and disgrace. They are,
indeed, the men who are doing Enost to
protract the war and to prevent the ,re•
turn of the old state of security and pro's
perky among us, because they are seek
ing to paralizo the energies of the nation
and to destiny its capacity to crush the
rebellion that has produced all our pres
ent calamities. The only safe and true
road to a lasting and honorable peace is
that which leads to ` the overthroW , and
dispersion of the insurgent army.;! War
was caused by the traitors first commenc
ing a series of unprovoked assaults upon
the, Southern forts of the nation and by
their efforts to place a large army in the
field to . capture our capital. Peace .can
only be produced .by the overthrow of
their army and the triumph of the Gov
ernment over those who have wantonly
and wickedly assailed it. There cadbe
no other peace which would afford us se
curity, or that would not cover .us with
disg7. There is no limit to the ex-
trava nce and injustice of the demands
of the traitors ; and if the loyal portion of
this country, far superior to them in num=
be - rs,.should be weak enough to yield un
'des the pressure of threats and the power
of the insurgent aril confessions - which a
sense of justice and propriety impelled it
to deny it could never hope 'to cope in a.
struggle with a powerful foreign country,
or' to guard itself against unceasing; fu
ture'aggressions..
It therefore becomes the' true friendS
of peaCe to assigin the vigorous prosecu
tion of the war. The policeman, who at
tacks a gang of rioters and seeks to arrest
them, does so, not to fight foi the sake of
fighting, but to restore order; and the
man who tries - to-persuade him not to do'
his dfity,or who endeavOrs 'to prevent a
body of policemen : sufficiently_ 'large to
riot,; from reaching. the scene of
disorder, is really a foe to the best!inter
ests of society, and an enemy of peace,
although he, way pretend that his chief
desire is to avoid a collision.between the
violators of• the la* and aslsupporterS.
