You have no courage, I shall burn, and slay, and lay waste, and-- Paul--Suppose you try it.

rapet of the fort, when a shot struck him, and he fell backward, and was seen no more. Now was Charlie indeed bereaved — his teacher, captain, friend, father, lover, dead on the battle-field, and even the poor satisfaction denied his friends of burying his remains. His letters after this event, are one long wail of sorrow — he could not be comforted — and yet, always thoughtful for others, he writes: Oh! how I pity his poor mother Months passed, and the Eighth Michigan was ordered to Vicksburgh to reenforce Grant, who had beleaguered that doomed city. Battle after battle ensued--nineteen of them--in all of which Charlie more or less participated, often escaping death as by a miracle. Something of the fierce life led by this regiment may be inferred from the fact that one thousand six hundred and fifty-three men have enlisted in it since it first took the field; of these, only four hundred survive to-day, all but eight of whom have just reenlisted. Through all battles, all marc<

General Grant--A little incident.--The Nashville correspondent of the Chicago Journal relates the following: Speaking of Grant's campaign, I wish here to put on record a little incident, which I have never yet seen in print, and which was communicated to me by an officer some time since, and which might have been contraband once, but is not now, since the plans of the Eastern campaign have been developed. While General Grant was in front of Vicksburgh, he was conversing with several officers on the subject of the capture of Richmond. Can it be taken, General? asked one of these. With ease, was the response. By the Peninsula? continued the querist. No, replied the General. If I had charge of the matter, I would want two large armies; one to move directly on Lee, and the other to land at City Point, and cut communications to the southward. Lee would be then compelled to fall back, and the army from the North could press, and, if possible, defeat him. If he would

tised one deception after another upon us; they have told us lies--horrible lies — to induce us to become their Abject slaves! Among the innumerable lies promulgated by these unmitigated scamps, we call your attention to the following: They told us that the war would not last three months; that foreign nations would recognize us as an independent people and help us fight; that the Yankees could not fight; that one of us could whip ten Yankees; that Chattanooga could never be taken; that Vicksburgh could never be taken; that the Peace party of the North would force Lincoln to make peace with the South; that we soldiers should be discharged as soon as our time expired; and that we would not be heavily taxed. These are but a few of the many hypocritical lies proclaimed by those conspirators who have precipitated us into irretrievable revolution. Shall we submit to be beguiled by these unpardonable Usurpers, and permit our families to starve to death, through want of our labor at ho

State, was appointed to fill a vacancy in the Naval School at Newport. The following extract from a letter written by Major-General Sherman to Secretary Stanton, detailing an incident which transpired during the assault upon the rebel works at Vicksburgh, on May nineteenth, doubtless secured the boy's promotion: When the assault at Vicksburgh was at its height on the nineteenth of May, and I was in front near the road which formed my line of attack, this young lad came up to me wounded anVicksburgh was at its height on the nineteenth of May, and I was in front near the road which formed my line of attack, this young lad came up to me wounded and bleeding, with a good, healthy boy's cry: General Sherman, send some cartridges to Colonel Malmborg; the men are nearly all out. What is the matter, my boy? They shot me in the leg, sir, but I can go to the hospital. Send the cartridges right away. Even where we stood the shot fell thick, and I told him to go to the rear at once, I would attend to the cartridges, and off he limped. Just before he disappeared on the hill, he turned and called as loud as he could: Calibre 54. I have not se

ousands flock to see him, and he is fast becoming famous. And the flash of his fierce, majestic eye Outshines the bayonet's gleam; And over the soldiers' battle-cry, And the hiss of the shells that scream, And the roar of the fierce artillery, Rises the eagle's cry, As if the Genius of the Free Inspired his voice and eye. The brave Wisconsins hear that cry And answer with shout and cheer, “'Tis the voice of the Genius of Liberty,” And they fight on without fear. Thus from the banks of far Osage, To Chickamauga's shore-- 'Mid Donelson's relentless rage, And Vicksburgh's thundering roar-- On many a conquered battle-field, Unshadowed by defeat-- As State by State the foemen yield, From field and fort retreat-- The Eighth Wisconsin marches on, By danger undeterred, And one of them bears on his right a gun, On his left the noble bird. And his dream by night is a vision sweet, Of a far Wisconsin glade, Where he meets with his first and last retreat, Outflanked, right and left, by a ma
