87. a poem for the Times. by John B. Thompson. Who talks of Coercion? Who dares to deny A resolute people their right to be free? Let him blot out forever one star from the sky, Or curb with his fetter one wave of the sea. Who prates of Coercion? Can love be restored To bosoms where only resentment may dwell?-- Can peace upon earth be proclaimed by the sword, Or good — will among men be established by shell? Shame! shame, that the statesman and trickster for-sooth Should have for a crisis no other recourse, Beneath the fair day-spring of Light and of Truth, Than the old brutem fulmen of tyranny — Force. From the holes where Fraud, Falsehood, and Hate slink away; From the crypt in which Error lies buried in chains, This foul apparition stalks forth to the day, And would ravage the land which his presence profanes. Could you conquer us, men of the North--could you bring Desolation and death on our homes as a flood-- Can you hope the pure lily, Affection, will spring From ashe

:--This great and long-standing conspiracy was well known in its outlines to Mr. Buchanan himself. We heard from his own lips, previous to his entering upon the duties of the Presidency, that he had been reliably informed (we think he said by Gov. Wise) that the officers of the army and navy had been polled on the question whether, in case of a rupture between the two sections of the Union, they would respectively go with the North or the South; and that nearly every Southern man answered he would adhere to the section that gave him birth. Here we have proof not only that this conspiracy had assumed its present determinate shape five years ago, and only waited for opportunity; but that Mr. Buchanan was perfectly well aware of the fact at the very time when he took some of the leaders into his Cabinet; and when he was passively aiding Cobb, Floyd, Thompson, and Toucey, in their plans to cripple the Federal Government, and assure the success of the rebellion. --Ohio Statesman, May 25.

wo o'clock in the afternoon the regiment reached Edward's Ferry, in sight of Ball's Bluff where the regiment had received its baptism of blood. Something was not ready and the men rested wearily on the bank until after nightfall, while Adams, Thompson, Donath and Ferris, Rice, Palmer and Charlie Rowe lent voice and wit in speech and song to while away the leaden hours.

e than was expected; they were taken by surprise and many surrendered and some broke and ran. We followed them up the hill, capturing one field officer and several line officers and all the men (450 in all) except a few who went over the hill to their reserve. The rebels had exposed one battery of five pieces in front of the wood and upon this the Second Division concentrated its fire. After the capture of the prisoners, the Major sent out companies K and E as skirmishers and Lieutenant John B. Thompson, who had command of the two left flank companies of the Nineteenth, not wishing to weaken his line, allowed Sergeants Corrigan and Maloney and private Johnson, all of Co. E, to advance to the pieces. They destroyed one gun and brought in two and a limber and four horses. Men were at once furnished from the First Minnesota and Andrew Sharpshooters, who brought in the other two pieces. Sergeant Corrigan limbered up one of those taken by the Nineteenth, mounted the saddle leader a

e right of the road. The firing in front increased. Soon the open ground was reached near Robertson's Tavern, which was entered on the double quick. Occasional shells passed over and a line of battle was formed on the crest of a ridge to support a battery there. It was greeted with minie balls which continued to come for some hours, more or less thickly. They did little harm, however, being aimed too high, but the experience was a trying one upon the nerves. Companies K and E, Lieutenants Thompson and Hall commanding, were advanced as skirmishers for the brigade front. The two companies, loaded with knapsacks, etc. went in on the double quick. Many of the men were nearly exhausted but they drove the enemy across a field and into a wood, in the edge of which they made a stand. The two companies of skirmishers then took a position under the brow of a hill and lay down, all the while keeping up a brisk fire. The enemy made many attempts to break through the line, but were repu
