The Chalmette's batteries next we take — the river now is clear-- We spike their guns, and give three cheers, and for the city steer; From each mast-head throughout the fleet the Stars and Stripes do fly, The city's ours, the fleet comes to, and off it we do lie. So here's success to Farragut and all the Union fleet, Which by their bold, undaunted pluck the rebels did defeat; A grateful country long will mourn the loss of those who fell Defending of their country's flag from traitors' shot and shell. And here's to brave McClellan, he'll break secession's coil, And only one flag soon shall wave upon Columbia's soil; He'll beat the rebel forces wherever they may be, The Union still shall be preserved we'll let all nations see. So to conclude, there's one thing more I'd have you understand, Our ship, she's always ready with secesh to try her hand; And when the war is over we'll all go North once more, Having bravely done our duty in the Brooklyn sloop-of-war. U. S. S. Brooklyn.

Sharpsburgh, a few days after the great battle of Antietam, in company with several gentlemen from Philadelphia, I was favored with a personal interview with Gen. McClellan, during which our attention, while in his tent, was drawn to a large number of colors taken from the rebels in the battles of South-Mountain, Antietam, and Shepherdstown Bluffs. As they possessed great interest to our party, Gen. McClellan very kindly gave us a great deal of information in regard to them, and by his permission I made the list and descriptions of them herewith appended. As will be seen by a reference to the General's official report of the battles, this list comprisesheadquarters, and though only partial, may, nevertheless, possess an interest for your readers. 1. We were first shown the battle-flag of the rebels, which Gen. McClellan informed us had been generally adopted by them, in lieu of the regular confederate or national rebel flag, which was the only one carried in the earlier perio

m Batesville to Cape Girardeau, Mo., a distance of two hundred and forty miles, was accomplished in ten days, some of the men being obliged to travel barefoot for the last sixty miles. This gives an average of twenty-tour miles per day; and when it is remembered that the regulation day's march is fifteen miles, we can readily accord the honor for rapid locomotion to the soldiers of the South-west. The day before the battle of Pea Ridge, a detachment from Curtis's army, under Colonel Vandever, marched from Huntsville to Sugar Creek, forty-one miles, with but two halts of fifteen minutes each. Few of the soldiers in the armies under McClellan and Halleck have undergone hardships equal to those incident to a campaign in Missouri and Arkansas. It is a significant fact that there have been proportionately fewer deaths by disease in the armies of the South-west than in those which, month after month, lay dormant along the Potomac and the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.--Chicago Tribune.

ce which I have had of war, I never saw the most experienced and veteran soldier exhibit more tranquil fortitude and unshaken valor than was exhibited by that young man. I was concerned at the needless risk which he invited, and told one of my aids to order him in our rear. Presently, all my aids had left me, on one service and another; whereupon, turning to give an order, I found no one but this young stranger at my side. I then asked him if he would oblige me by bearing a despatch to Gen. McClellan, and by acting as my aid, until some of my staff should come up. He rode off with alacrity, through a most exposed position, returned with the answer, and served me as an aid through the remain der of the fight, till I was carried from the ground. And his name, General? He was a young man, recently from college, named George W. Smalley, and I am writing to him now! Those who know the noble nature of Gen. Hooker, will therefore wonder but little that one of his first acts, when placed
