My Sweet, Sweet Home.

Stands our humble, low-roofed cot,
"Where the wild rose clambers above the door,
And the swert forget-me-not

While the gargling song, and rippling laugli,
. well up from the streamlet mgu.
Here the wild birds sing at early mom.
'Mong the whispering forest leaves;
And the seented breath of the flowers is borne,
Along by the grateful breeze;
And the sunbeams, gay, come streaming in

Through our open cottage door,
And light the room with a beautiful smile,
As they lie on the oaken floor.
I think, sometimes, the goddess of spring
Brings her sweetest gilts to me,
For abroad I see no lovelier flowers,
Than here, at my home I see,
And I deem the rippling of the rill.
And the warbliDg of each bird.
And the music of the wind, and leaves,
Sweet songs, as ever I heard.
The, when Autumn eotnej in russetgown,
I think, as I've thought before,
That she brings to us of golden gifts.
The choicest and best of her store :
Perhaps this is only a vain conceit, ;
Be that as it may it will come.
And I still will cling to the things I lore,
And to this my eweet, sweet Home.
The Wife of the Volunteer.
I taew by the light in his deep, dark eye,
When he heard the beat of the mustering drum
Tbst he never would fold his arms and sigh
Over the evils that were to come:
I knew that the blood of a patriot sire
Coursed through his veina like a stream of fire:
So I took his hand,
! . And bade him go,
But he sever dreamed.
' That it grieved me to.
Two fair-haired children lie left with me.
Who lisp his came at eventide
The very hour when upon his knee I
He used to fondle his pet and pride; I
Alas! they may never again be blest
By a father's care in the old home nest:
. And he never again
May hear the tones.
Or kiss the lips
Of his little ones.
I know he lias answered his country's call;
That his breast is bared at a high command;
But my heart will break, I know, if he full
In the battle's front, by a traitor's hand;
Yet I murmur not, though my tear wet eyes
Attest the worth of the sacrifice:
'Tis a wife's free gift. .
Two lives in one
In the name of God
And of Washington.
Perhr.ns when the mapleleaves are red,
And the golden glories of harvest come
I shall wake some morning to hear his tread,
And give liim a warm heart's welcome home;
To kneel with him in fervent rraver.
Thanking our God for his watchful care,
. - In shielding his heart
' From the rebel's brand,
- Who honored the flag
Of our cherished land.

The following is an extract from a pri
vate letter from an oflicer engaged in the
bombardment:
Our success has been complete, and ter
ror runs over the whole country. The no
grots arc wild, and arc plundering their
master's houses. The whites have been
driving the negroes away by force and
shooting them down, but they still come
to the gunboats. The moment Gen Day
ton took to his horse on the panic of the
7th, his 200 servants went directly to the
Wabash. This is worthy of notice, as
putting down the nonsense that the slaves
were ready to fight for their masters.
They surrounded Capt Ammen in crowds
at Beaufort one of them calling out in the
joy of his heart "I didn t think you could
do it Alassa.
After a careful reconnoisance off Tort
Ioyal Bay it was ascertained the rebels
had three field works of remarkable
strength, garrisoned and covered by three
gunboats, besides strong land forces, which
the rebels were concentrating at Charles
ton and Savannah. It was deemed proper
to first reduce the fort ' on Hilton Head,
though to do this a great or less fire might
have to be met from the batteries on Bay
Point At the same time our original
plan of co-operation of the land forces in
this attack had to be set aside, in conse
quence of the loss during the voyage, of
the greater portion of our means cf disem-
barkmcnt, together with the fact that the
only point where the troops should nave
landed was five or six miles from the an
choring place of our transports, altogether
too great a distance for successful debarka
tion with our limited means.
It was, therefore, agreed that the place
should be reduced by the naval force alone.

Success of the Great Expedition.
We arc in constant receipt of favorable
intelligence confirming the good news of
the last few days and creating intense ea
gerness to get at full particulars. The re
ported success of the naval expedition in
effecting a landing at Tort Royal reaches
us through so many different sources, and
the different accounts so tally with and
support each other, that there has ceased
to be any anxiety to know whether the
main fact is true, and we arc all consumed
with curiosity to know the precise extent
of the advantage which the rebels arc tak
ing such evident pains to conceal from us.
In their alarm, they arc hurrying troops
from Virginia to the southern coast, and it
i3 probable that they will make a desper
ate caort to drive lacs Ueneral Sherman
before he'gct3 firmly established. But
having securely effected a landing, and
having all tho time to fortify his position
which must intervene while troops are col
lecting to oppose him, there is every rea
son for confidence that he will hold all he
has gained. The fleet carried an enormous
supply of intrenching tools, and, besides
the thousand negroes who make a part of
the expedition, the strong-handed and stout
hearted sold crs can do yeoman's service
with a spade. Forty-eight hours would
suffice for throwing up earthworks of great
strength; and within that time the rebels
cannot have assembled a very formidable
force. Gen. Sherman csn strengthen his
fortifications more rapidly than they can
collect reinforcements, and, in the absence
of detailed information, we have no hesita
tion in concludiug that he has established
a permanent base of operations in the neigh

To-morrow, a slight reverse may occur and
this same jubilant public, begin to grum
ble at the imbecility of our rulers and
talk of compromise and uselessness of at
tempting to carry cn the war, if we arc
always doomed to bo defeated. The great
consideration which is to win us the victo
ry is an untiring zeal in the righteous
cause a patriotism that will not yield to
discouragement nor flinch at disaster.

entirely and overwhelmingly successful
then it were better that we give up at once,
surrender our country, and close the fight
by an ignominious yklaing to the traitors

anything else among our northern commu
nities, is a spirit of dogged determination,
a perseverance that will do and dare, de
spite disaster and defeat till our glorious
cause is successful. The enemy, having
the advantage of long preparation, being
ready for offensive operations before we be
gan to move, have far more cause for dis
couragement than we have. They have
gained, as yct no material advantage.
" Our real strength lies in the pertinacious
courage and endurance cf our people. It
is an endurance under defeat, a courage
that rises superior to every discouragement
that will show the true patriotism of our I
people. Vic must take the bad with the
good. We may meet with severe cheeks.
Dut we snail sometimes be conquerors, if
we persevere. But we cannot defeat the
enemy if we give way to every adverse in
fluence and offer to give up the strife after
every little repulse. Ours must bo a no
bler courage. We have not yct begun to
fight Our armies a re only just organized,
they are not yct half full; our home re
sources for obtaining money have only just
begun to be drawn upon, while our adver
saries have as large an army in the field as
they can possibly raise and are already ad
mitting that they can get no more money.
Every day's delay makes the government
stronger while it renders the rebels weak
er. It is of no use to abuso our government
officials or our Generals. We may borate
Lincoln, or Cameron or McClcllan or Banks
or Fremont, but it will not help matters.
We must school ourselves to take what is
in store for us, standing ready with endu
ring energy and indomitable pluck to raise
another army as soon as one is destroyed,
