trusted each as well. They spurn the pleasant homes they hold: The old, old peace they ruthly broke, And wandered vainly after gold Far up the stream of Roanoke. Those savage times have waned apace, The piney isle no red men tread, Their wigwams and their wives are dead, And war has blackened all the place; For treason left its thousand farms, And broke the calumet in twain; And called across the stormy main A host of loyal men at arms. Thy pines De Monteuil's death bemoan, Thy surge brave Russell's requiem measures, And delving for forbidden treasures, Thy traitors dig but skull and bone. Two awful days the foemen met, And when the third all glorious woke, The spangled flag we worship yet, Curled all its stripes o'er Roanoke. The corpse half buried in the sand, The far-off friends that wait the shock, The raven brooding on the rock, The hungry sky, the lonesome land, The blood, the tears, the sons, the sires-- Oh! these too well the triumph note, Though ringing from the nation's th

Incidents of Roanoke Island.--Col. Russell, of the Tenth Connecticut regiment, fell dead from his horse at the head of his regiment, while marching against the enemy. Strange as it may appear, not a scratch was found upon his body when examined, and his death must have come from the wind of a cannon-ball or from excitement. Lieutenant-Colonel De Monteil, who volunteered in the assault upon the rebel battery, received his death-wound while heading the advance, and while in the act of shouting: Come on, boys! We'll show them how to fight! In the course of the action a shell burst on the United States gunboat Hetzel, and set her magazine on fire. Lieutenant Franklin, her executive officer, ordered the men to the magazine to extinguish the fire; but seeing that they hesitated, he took the hose in his own hands, and sprang down and extinguished the flames before they reached the powder. A similar occurrence took place on board the Ceres, from the bursting of a gun, when Acti

53. on the Death of Zollicoffer. The spirit of Felix K. Zollicoffer wrote this in the hands of the medium, Lucretia Russell. He lay upon the battle-field, His lips gave not a sound, He fought with brave and — manly aid When on the battle ground. His aged mother bent her knee In one most fervent sound, He lay there-looked like marble white-- With mourning friends around. Brave Zollicoffer called his men, I'm dying, men, cried he, And from this day for evermore, I never shall happy be. Tell my mother not to weep for me, Nor give one lingering sigh, For when I fell from off my horse I never flinched to die. Another General gave command, I could not hear that sound, But off they ran and left me there Dead-lifeless on the ground. Louisville Journal, February 10

othing it contained, and also took his horse. In Wayne, near the line of Russell County, they violated the person of a Mrs. Dean in the presence of her father-in-law, an infirm old man aged ninety, and left her nearly dead, and committed a like fiendish act upon two sisters named Harris, and treated them so barbarously that they have since died, or rather Mr. Green has heard a report of their death. In several of our border counties half of the male inhabitants are in the Union armies. Russell, with a voting population of nine hundred and fifty, has sent five companies to the field, and about seventy more men are scattered in other commands. There are no more loyal people in the State than in the counties of Russell, Cli<*>ton, Cumberland, and Monroe, the four counties having furnished at least two thousand five hundred soldiers. These men have all been withdrawn from the protection of their homes, so that rebel marauding parties are ravaging the counties without a single soldi
