SWEET TO BE REMEMBERED.
O ! 'tis sweet to be remembered
In the merry days of youth,
While the world seems full of brightness,
And the soul retains its truth—
When our hopes are like the morning beams
That flash along the sea,
And every dream we know of life
Is one of purity—
'Tis sweet to be remembered,
As the spring remembers earth,
spreading roses in our pathway,
Filling all our hearts with mirth.
0! 'tis sweet to be remembered
In the summer time of life,
Ere we reach the burning summit
With our weight of woe and strife—
To look backward through the shallows .
Where our journey first begun,
And the golden flowers of mem'ry
Turn their faces to the sun—
'Tis sweet to be remembered
As the breeze remembers day,
Floating upward from the valley
O'er the weary pilgrim's way.
OBE tin =ea ttata-utacuitreica;
---- " --- Whert•our me
And every morning sun we meet
May taste us at the tomb— .
When our youth is half forgotten,
And we gnze, with yearnings strong,
From a world where all are dying,
To a deathless world beyond.
"Tis sweet to be remembered, '
As the•stnm remember night,
Shinning downward through the darkness,
With a pure and holy light.
CALL TO BATTLE.
Arise! for the day is passing,
While you lie dreaming on,
Your brothers are cased in armor,
And forth to the fight have gone
Your place in the ranks awaits you,
Foich man hte a part to play ;
irpast and the future are nothing
. n the face of the stern to-day.
Of gainirig a hard fought field,
— Ol storming an airs fortress,
Of bidding the giant yield ;
Your future has deeds of glory,
Of honor, (God grant it may,)
But you arm will never be stronger,
Or needed as noaw—today.
Arise! if the past detain you,
Her sunst•ines and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to hold you
As those ofa vain regret,
Bad or bright, she is lifeless ever,
Cast her phantom arms away,
Dior look back, save to learn the lesson
4)f a nobler strife to-day.
Arise ! for the hour is passing;
Those rounds that you dimly hear
is your enemy marching to battle,
Rise! Rise! for the foe is near!
Stay not to brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will sttike at. last.
And from dreams of a coming battle
You will wakeu and find it past.

LETTER FROM BROWNLOW.
WHAT THE PEOPLE DEMAND
The people are far ahead of the Govern
ment and - the heads of our army in their de
sire to crush out this rebellion. They are
clamorous-tor a more vigorous prosecution of
the war, and the most loyal men in all the
country are complaining bitterly that more
vigorous measures are not adopted. They
are willing to furnish men and money; they
are willing .to pour out their blood and
treasure upon the altar of their country ; but
they want to see returns for those great and
patriotic outlays, in the shape of victories
au4 successes, that will tell upon the dosti.
mes of those vile conspirators tgainst this
Government. The people say, with one
voice, call out more men, rush upon rebel
dorn, overwhelm the traitors, and put and
end to the war in that way. And my word
for it, no settlement of this controversy will
.ever meet the approval of thepeople that
does not require an unconditional surrender
An the part of the Rebels, and the restoring
'of the Stars and Stripes over every seceded
tat on the continent. •
The moderation and forbearance of our
government towards this infernal 'rebellion,
and the tenderness with which our Generals
in command deal with Rebel leaders and
their fine houses and other property, are
matters of bilidf''complaint everywhere.—
The 'tenth is the people are not disposed to
tolerate it any longer. And among those
whose kindred and friends have fallen in bat
tlei now past, and whose houses and homes
are threatened with insolent invaders from
the South, feelings of nn utterable
Sion are entertained against those who sym
pathize with the rebellion, and by words and
deeds give aid and comfort to the murderers.
And this is not to -be won,dered at. flow
.could they feel otherwise ?
Such a state of feeling is now ,being en
gendered, and such a storm is coming as will
sweep from the loyal States all who dare set
:up for rebellion and that, before a ;great
While. The North is full of these traitors,
meaner, in all material respects, than the

2nd. The slaves thus freed by the act of
the government, and solemnly ensured of
its protection, will not run away from free
dom. It is only the negro who is compelled
to escape from slavery, that seeks an asylum
in the north. The southern negro, free,
and secure in his freedom, has no desire to
come north, will never come north, but on the
contrary, as long as the National Govern
ment protects the free negro, just so long
will negroes emigrate to, and settlement in
the south continue. Thus the practical re
sults of this polies will be to drain the north
of its negro population. Climate, habit of
living, facilities for procuring - support, are
all in favor of the negro hi the south, so that
by physical and social causes, he will be im
pelled to seek a home in that direction. It
is this fact that induces the border states to
hold on to slavery. It is not that slavery is
profitable in 'Maryland, in Kentucky, in Mis
souri, that it is maintained in those states,
but it is the fear that, the moment it is abol
ished, such states will become the asylum of
all the free negroes in the country. This is
_true -actually and substantially true. If
Deleware, Maryland,, Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama were
free states to-day, before the first of January
every negro that could raise the money, now
free and living in our free states, would seek
a home is such localities. Again, we repeat,
that the people of the south know and un
derstand this fact, and hence their opposition
to emancipation at any description.
These are two of the most important points
contained in the proclamation of the Presi
dent. We submit them for the considera
tion of our readers.—Pcnnsyluaniu Tele

and attempted to give it notoriety by inritiug
the co-operation of Secretary Seward and of

"Wilkes' Spirit of the Times," whose editor
is a staunch and well known democrat, by
the following stinging remarkS:
"Those sensitive patriots are very fond of
directing attention to the almlithnist.
They would have us believe, perhaps, that
it was the abolitionists who passed the Le

the demcioratie party by nominating Breckin

who seized the arsenals in a time of peace,
stole the public treasury, fired upon Sumter,
and sent forth red-handed pirates to sink

Early Life in Oregon
It was in the summer of 1843 that a young
chief of the Walla Wallas one day entered
the fort and appropriated to himself some ar
ticles of little value—a piece of wood, from a
lot of which, lying. therm, the Indians had
been in the habit of taking pieces wheniver
they chose, for the purpose of making whip
handles. The practice had been strictly for
bidden, as the wood was of a particular kind,
and of service_ to the company. It was in
an expostulation with the young chief that a
young clerk in the company received a sig
nal affront, in which occasioned a rencontre
and the chastisement of the Indian. At
this time there were perhaps a dozen whites
at the fort, and although the buildings were
enclosed by stockades yet there were no
means of effectually securing the entrances.
The stockade was of a recent construction,
and the gates had not been made, nor were
they till a.year after. Consequently it was,
compiratively speaking, a defenceless posi
tion. •
On the next day the Indians, some of each
tribe, crowded into the establishment to re
venge themselves in the death of Mr. T—.
Talking could achieve nothing; every consis
tent means was resorted to in vain to appease
the turbulent multitude. The men belong
ing to the fort were at work in the field, even
could their presence have effected any good
in the issue.
The Indians wore brandishing their weap
ons, and seemed to be fully aware of their
summary manner. Already had. Mr. Mc-
Wally suffered indignities; and young T—
was defending, himself as well as he was
able, when Mr. MeKinly started froth the
crowd that surrounded him, passed into the
adjoining store-room, seized a keg of powder,
a steel and flint, and returning, placed the
keg in the centre of the room and knocked
in its head.
"Now," said he,,"kill Mm if you will,"
pointing to T—,"but at that moment
I Kill you all! Two of us can die when
there are many braves to die with us."
The proposed slaughter was on too ex
tensive a scale for the Indians; a panic seized
them; they turned in dismay and rushed
precipitately from the house.
United we Stand
Says the 'Pittsburg -Chronicle: "IC is
high time that the line of demarkation should
be distinctly drawn betty een the warm friends
and the open foes of the- Union. Those who
are the secret or avowed 'abettors of the
rebellion should manifestly either remain
neutral and quiet, or else leave the loyal
North and go Southward. While here, they
have no option but to render a lawful obedi
ence to the "powers that be.' The only ob
stacle to our complete and triumphant suc
cess in the present struggle obviously lies in
tile schisms and dissensions which are sought
to be introduced in order to divide our
people and paralyze their efforts to put down
this hell-born rebellion. So long as we remain
united and in effective harmony so long must
we prosper against foreign and domestic foes.
But as soon as the demon of discord enters
into our councils and efforts, then comes
trouble and weakness and despair. The man,
therefore, of whatever - party ho be, who at
this time essays to foment discontent and
bad feeling; who endeavors to stir up old
political prejudices; to divide those , who
should be inseparably united awl to obstruct
the necessary measures of Government, is
as much the foe of his coantry as if he were
in the •ranks of her open an armed foes, and
he should be treated as such. The political
passions, animosities and prejudices. which,
under the directions of artful and interested
wire-pullers from both-- prties, are - now
sought to be revived, shoul be avoided at
t ,
the. present time 'as,fraughy with• exceeding
peril to onr, coil men eonotry. ,

Last week two cases occurred in which
soldier were brought to Washington, from
the battle field—one ill and the other woun-T

lars from them. They died and the hospi
tal authorities were deprived of the opportu
nity of apprising distant relatives or friends
of their decease. In another instance'—a
fine lad was killed in battle--all hope of tra-

his mother was found between the cloth and

History proves that nearly every , war which
has desolated our globe, has originated in
the same cause which is now - de - Solating our

and the poor. This last conflict ended, and.
though there may be a lingering skirmish
yet to come, we h'we essentially peace.

After a pause, addressing himself to us,
he put the following interrogatory :—"Do
