We since know, that after the battle they did take care of our wounded, and treat them well: let all justice be done. Almost every man we tallied with belonged to a different regiment from the last. They were chiefly from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin--I did not see any soldiers from Maine--New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, or Pennsylvania; but of course I speak only of our part of the road. Their accounts seemed to harmonize, especially in two points, namely, that our men held their ground sturdily until three o'clock; and whenever they came in actual contact with the rebels, they drove them back; and secondly, that many of our officers were grossly inefficient, and some evidently showed the white feather. Orders seemed to be scarce; the men fought on their own hook. Sever

sant excursion, enlivened by music from the Boston Brigade band, they were received at the wharf of the fort by Comp. D, and escorted to the parade ground, where, in behalf of the school, the standard was presented by S. H. Virgin, of the 2d class. After an eloquent and stirring allusion to the causes of the war and the spontaneous uprising of the North, paying a just tribute to the zealous enthusiasm of the young men in this fearful crisis of our nation's history, when from the wilds of Maine to the plains of Texas, from the rockbound coasts of the East to the murmuring shores of the Pacific, there swells up to heaven the deafening chorus Fiat justitia ruat coelum, he continued as follows:-- As a school we have endeavored to express our sympathy with the Government and its defenders in a substantial way. You already know what we have done for you. Your noble, energetic, and gallant captain, being a former honored graduate of our school, we have felt a peculiar interest in this

They had a farm, and kept a lumber yard. Since the troubles broke out that part of Arkansas has been in a most lawless condition. Union men were hung, shot, or cut down wherever found.

He fled in the night, intending, if possible, to make his way to Maine, and directing her to settle up affairs and follow as soon as it could be safely done. Since then she has heard nothing set out from home, which were those they wore when the secessionists broke in upon them. She had only $2 to take her to Maine, and provide for the children and herself on the way. Supt. Nottingham gave her passes on the Lake Shore Railroad, and so

orn, Will curse you to God's holy face! Heaven holds no pardon in its grace For cowards. Oh! are such as ye The guardians of our liberty? Back, if one trace of manhood still May nerve your arm and brace your will! You stain your country in the eyes Of Europe, and her monarchies! The despots laugh, the peoples groan; Man's cause is lost and overthrown! I curse you, by the sacred blood That freely poured its purple flood Down Bunker's heights, on Monmouth's plain, From Georgia to the rocks of Maine! I curse you, by the patriot band Whose bones are crumbling in the land! By those who saved what these had won!-- In the high name of Washington!” Then I remember little more. As the tide's rising waves, that pour Over some low and rounded rock, The coming mass, with one great shock, Flowed o'er the shelter of my mound, And raised me helpless from the ground. As the huge shouldering billows bear, Half in the sea and half in air, A swimmer on their foaming crest, So the foul throng beneath me

h, of course, she succeeded in delivering to the rebel authorities without trouble. Her friends boast of this performance; and there are still left in Washington scores of females of like stamp, who are ready to decamp in a similar way, and for similar purposes, who delight in thus furnishing aid and comfort to the enemy.--N. Y. Times, July 1. the feast of doughnuts.--The ladies of Augusta, Me., some time ago distributed over fifty bushels of doughnuts to the Third Volunteer regiment of Maine. A procession of ladies, headed by music, passed between double lines of troops, who presented arms, and were afterwards drawn up in hollow square to receive the welcome doughnation. Never before was seen such an aggregate of doughnuts since the world began. The circumambient air was redolent of doughnuts. Every breeze sighed doughnuts-everybody talked of doughnuts. The display of doughnuts beggared description. There was the molasses doughnut and the sugar doughnut — the long doughn

u, But you'll find our courage true! For, by the Eternal God we swear To crush your rebel crew! We know our cause is holy; We will keep our powder dry; And fight, as did our noble sires, For Freedom-or we'll die! We march as loyal patriots! We are bound with iron bands! Our trust is in a righteous God! Our swords are in our hands! We march to conquer Treason; Our purpose is our might, And we do not fear the issue, For we know that we are Right. We bear the glorious Stars and Stripes, That never knew defeat; We'll drench with blood your Rebel Rag, And tread it 'neath our feet! We'll sweep this land from end to end; We'll burn from sea to sea; Till earth and heaven alike shall know America is free! And when at last we conquer, And the deadly strife is o'er, The Stars and Stripes shall light the skies, And float from shore to shore! And from Oregon to Texas, And from Florida to Maine, Shall peace and plenty crown the land, And truth and justice reign! Cambridgeport, May 27, 1861.

the traitorous band. We'll let them alone, when the cannon's loud thunder Shall cease to be heard on the smoke-covered plain, And the army of traitors is driven asunder, To rally in future time never again. We'll let them alone, when the contest is ended, And the fall of Fort Sumter is fully avenged; When the Stars and the Stripes every stronghold shall cover, And the fires of treason forever are quenched. We'll let them alone, in their dark shame forever, When every nation with scorn shall review The ruin of those who had thus dared to sever The proudest Republic the world ever knew! We'll let them alone, when our cannon have written In deeply-carved letters, on Sumter's thick wall, The story of how the mad “biter was bitten,” And who lost the day in the great game of ball. We'll let them alone, when from Maine to the waters Of grand old Pacific, the paean shall ring From millions of Freedom's proud sons and fair daughters: the Union forever — no Cotton is King! Easton,

arch, the battle, Where the noble, fearless died-- Wild around the cannon's rattle, Waiting angels at their side-- By our children's golden future, By our fathers' stainless shield, That which God and heroes left us, We will never, never yield! Hear it! ye who sit in council, We, the People, tell you so! Will you venture “Yes” to whisper, When the millions thunder “No” ? Will you sell the nation's birthright, Heritage of toil and pain, While a cry of shame and vengeance Rings from Oregon to Maine? Compromise-then Separation-- Such the order of the two; Who admits the first temptation, Has the second's work to do. Compromise — the sultry silence! Separation — whirlwind power! For a moment's baleful quiet, Will you risk that rending hour? Who would sail the Mississippi? Who the mountain ranges hold? Win Ohio's fertile borders? Sacramento's sands of gold? Whose would be our banner's glory? Who the eagle's flight would claim! Whose our old illustrious story, Patriot graves, and fiel

e. Ben. Butler, my boy, It gives me much joy Of your brave words and acts to hear; So prompt and so quick, You are truly a “brick,” Knowing not the meaning of fear. As a lawyer bold We know you of old, In many a “hard knotty case ;” But now on the field, Convinced you'll not yield; You are just the man for the place. Be true to your trust, And bring to the dust The rebels, where'er they are found; Inform them, dear Ben, They've mistaken the men, If they think the North is not sound. We know you are right, Wherever you fight, In upholding the Stripes and Stars; We know they are wrong, Where'er they belong, Who follow the Stripes and Bars. See to it, our flag Displaces that rag, Symbolic of despot and slave; From Georgia to Maine It must wave again, “O'er the land of the free and the brave.” We will anxiously wait To hear of your fate, Entreating God's blessing on you; For one thing we know, “Come weal or come woe,” To the Union you'll ever be true. --B
