Beside where broad Potomao sweeps tUII on
ward to the sea,
Our must'rlng hosts are gath'rlng for Truth
and Liberty I
Our csuso la Just and holy, and with our flag
unfurled.
We'll never yield tho contest till Freedom lights
tnewonui
The gleaming word of Justtco, that has de
layed so long,
Shall fall with mighty power, and smite the
rebel throne:
Columbia shall be free the soil our fathers
trod
Man cannot, dare not pull that down, which was
ouni up uyuoai
From fr New Hampshire's granite hills, a
band of Iron men
Comes forth unto the contest, from many a glade
I
. I
ana gien;
"ft i
In tones of rolling thunder, their voices onward
sweep,
Across hill, vale, and river, and o'er the tossing
deep;
While o'er the Alleghanles blue, and Rocky
Mountain peaks
The soundof coming battle, with clanging trum
pet speaks,
Until the thoughts ot every heart In one wide
channel flow,
From bleak, yet staunch and loyal Malno, unto
Pacific's flow.
On Kalorama's tented height, with waving cedar
crowned,
I stand, and view the martial hosts, on mount
and plain around;
Thick a tho stars on brow of night, or sand
upon the shore,
Embattled, on my wond'rlng view, they clothe
the prospect o'er:
While as the booming uannon roars, from out
tne smoKy aun,
And bristling lines of bayonets flash within the
Eleamim: sun.
And while the tramp of countless ranks smites
on my list'nlng ear,
My swelling heart Is filled with pride for all that
man nnms aear.
Woe to the traitor foes, that dare to rend those
ties in twain
That hitherto havo bound the States In peace,
from main to main I
For, conscious in our saored cause, before our
stern array.
The puny strength of all their host shall quickly
fado away ;
Ayo.lt ere Just that vengeance dire should
surely come at last
Upon the haughty Southern land, for all the bit
ter pastl
For not a breeze has fanned her heart, through
many gloomy rears.
But has been filled with suff'r's sighs with
crime and blood and tears!
Her sunniest spots seem sad with sorrow for
an tne galling wrong
That has been stealing o'er her skies, with tem
pest wing so long;
And now the angry storm must burst, in all its
fearful might.
And rage until our land tsfree, injustice, truth,
ana rignt.
Bo with us, God of Hosts 1 and lead our armies
conquering on I
Be thou our noble Chlof tain's guide our second
Washington!
Grant that his heart it) ly lo'in on Thee, in this
momentous hour, ,
And .-trenxthen Thou bis arm to crush the guilty
traitor's power!
UleMall our rulorsl in the Cabinet may they
ever bo,
Like lir.ivo MrClellan In Iho field, men not
ashamed of Thee;
vi sliill our own, our native land, from this
d irk hour arise.
And shine upon the world, a stariT hope within
the sl-.les;
So hall our legions ecr sweep to glory and to
lame,
And lasting, fadeless laurels crown Columbia's

Duel Between Pickets,
A Washington correspondent of the Detroit
Ti ibant tells the following ysrn :
A good story lslncliculationhere, hut which
has not yet got into the papers. As It is too
good to 1,0 lost, 1 put it In Bhape for print, for
the benefit cf whom it may concern:
One of the Michlganders being out on ad
vance picket duty, a few days ago, came In
right ol a South Carolina rebel, alto on similar
duty, when thn following dialogue and duel
took place:
Michigan "UUo, South Carolina, how Bre
you to-tiay7"
South Carolina" Pretty well, thank y(.u ;
how are all the Yankees! "
M. " So, so. What's the news over in
Dixie?"
S. " Nothing in particular, only we've got
some rifies now that will outshoot your Yankee
guns all hollow."
M. " Don't believe the yarn. You seceshers
brag too much. Can't fool your pap on that
trigger."
b." Suppose, then, you and I just take
few private passes at each olher to settle this
little question. What ear you 7 "
M. ' Agreed. Forty rods and three shots
eacn."
The (mention then arose as to the prelimina
ries, &c , there being no parties present to act
as seconds. These were, however, soon settled
by South Carolina giving Michigan a gold
dollar for Ihe Qrst three shots. The parties
then took their positions, and South Carolina
blazedanway his three shots at Michigan, who
Blood erect and pointed out to South Carolina
the direction each of his shots bad taken. Mich
igan escaped unhurt, and now came his turn
to fire. South Carolina, to his credit be it said,
stood erect and received Michigan's first shot
in the thigh, which brought him down flat on
the ground.
" Hello, old lellow, none or that," Bald Mich
igan; " no dodgiog the question. Stand np
like it man, will you? You owe me two more
it u good shots, and you must pay them, m'nd
that, or no more bragging about chivalry."
Hut South Carolina, having one lez broken
already by a shot from Michigan's unerring
Mlnie musket, could not stand en both pegs
of bis chivalry, and therefore "squatted," and
cheuu-il our honest Michlgander out of " tiro
1111 ijom siots," and thus ended this funny Im
prnuptudud.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
The underslgnod commenced, In the monh of

weoKiy newspaper, cuuea too ivuitonai iiepuo
lican. It Is printed on a large sheet, twenty-sovon
by forty-two inches, and la furnished at tho lew
prices mated below.
It will contain all the original matter of the
dally iVdlionnl Jicpubliran, with the exception
of local netra not intorostlng to country sub
scribers. It will give full reports of the proceedings of
uongress, unci ot tne outer aepartinenu oi tne
National Government.
It will contain all tho news of the day, foreign
and domestlo, markets, Ac, Ac, as well us an
original correspondence from all parts of the
country. The miscellaneous department will
receive spocl.tl attontion, and. In all respects,
the effort will bo made to establish the charao
tor of the Xatwnal Republican ns a Family
No8pnper.
Washington being now the central point of
the current military operations, great attention
nlll bo paid to furnishing the readers of the
JViiltonal Republican with lull, and especially
with accurate, accounts of Iho progress of Ihe
war for the Union.
In politics, tho nunet will be ReDubllcan. sus
taining tho Administration of Mr. Lincoln, but
disclaiming, nnwevor, any pretension to bo the
organ of the President.
The Is no other Republican paper in tho Dis
trict of Columbia, or In the viclnltr of it. and
it Is bellevod that recent events have opened tn
Kiicli a paper an important sphero of useful
iflort. The time has come, when the actual
administration ot the Government uponllepub
llcan principles will explodo the misrepresen
tations which havo made those principles so
distasteful to the South.
But It is not only here, and In this vicinity,

f." CRSELS7, ProjTMort, Boston
THE OBJECT of all medicine Is eitber tn pre
vent disease, or to assist Nature lu restoring
the various organs ef tho body to a lealthful
action, and that mediolno Is certainly tho beat,
which will perform those offices thoroughly,
yot mildly, and without endangering the vital
forces of the system, by whoso normal condi
tion alone health and strength oan be presorvod.
Most of the BlttorS that havo heretofore been
brought Into popular favor, have only served
tho purpose of temporarily stimulating or ox
citlng tbe organs into a condition resembling
hoalthful action, without any remedial effect,
and goner.illy followed by a return of the dis
ease, or a prostration of a nervous energy more
disastrous than though Naturo had been left to
take Its cwrt oourse.
Dr. Grcelay's Bitters are a preparation of tho
nutritive properties of tbe grain of tho fields In
combination with tbn.actlvo principle of many
simple alteratives and bitter tonics, and It Is a
ploasure to the proprietors to atate that Its use
fulness Is being generally acknowledged by the
largely-increasing consumption In thoso sec
tions where it Is best known, and by the testi
mony ui many eminent physicians, who nave
not only mado trial of It, but oontlnuali- pre
scribe the Bitters lnthote oases for which it f
recommended.
AGED PEOPLE, AND ALL WEAKLY
PERSONS,
Consumptive patients, and others, whose con
stitutions lnve become imp.irod by timo, or en
feebled by disease, and in whom the procoss of
digestion does not ropl.ice tho fat and tissues ol
the body as fast as they wasto, will find these
Bitters at once nourishing and strengthening,
and happily adapted for their use The great
advantage the Bitters pos-tess over ordinary
stimulants usually proscribed In treating lung
complaints nnd kindred diseases, is the fact that
they combine many safe and certain healing
properties lu connection with tho best known
stimulant.
DELICATE LADIES
Will dorlve great benefit from it. No unpleas
ant effect will evor result from taking tho Bit
ters, If tho directions are followed. For those
who suffer from nervous debility, languor, want
of rest, oxbau8tin, and in all cases of weak
ness, the Bitters are not oqualled.
As nu agreeable Btomachlo, it is much ad
mired; it sharpens tho appetite, brightens tln
intellect, and inl uses new life aud vigor. No
one who uses these Bitters can he subject tn an
attack of I'EVKIt and AOUE, or DlABBIiaiA.
Of all tbe Ills that alllict men and women, fow
are so agonizing as Dyspepsia. It is a sort ot
combination of many dlsoascs. Thanks to
sclonco and Da. Giikklkv, a spiciflc has now
been obtained. Gleklky's Bouhbon Uitthko
take straight hold of tho disease, and begin a
cure. Thousands of well-attestod cases ot
cures of Dyspepsl i, Indigestion, aud Fever and
Ague, even of the most dusporate kind, arc In
the possession of the proprietors.
Not a few people, everywhero, oomplain of
Weakness or Debility. This is the gentle hint
of nature for a little help In tho way of Invlg
oratlon. The hint should not be neglected.
"A stitch in time save" nlno." (Jet a supply of
Oitf.ELEV'H Boukbon BiTTKits, take them regular
ly, and our word for It you will feci better, llvo
longer, be stronger, and think and aot with very
much more satisfaction Tho Bitters arc h
tonio, and of a nature never beforo attained in
any medicine. It will mako tbe weak strong,
tho desponding hopeful, the Blck well. For any
complaint of tho Stomach, Liver, or Bowels,
tbore isnothlng comparable with this medicine.
In America, the Liver In tho tail abused ol all
the organs in tbe body. It is made the saddle
of all other organs. As a consequence, it Is
often out of order, and not uufrequontly nearly
Inoperative. This need not bo; on the con
trary, It is qulto unnecessary. A little common
sense, aud a sufficiency of Oheelet's Bodhbon
BiTTxas, will keop tho Liver right, and mako
man a man, and wunian, now miserable, quite
happy. The Bitters reguiato and strengthen
tho Liver, no less than purify It.
Tho Increase of Norvmia Disorders, at the
present day, is one of tho most alarming Indi
cations of tho age, or rather, would be, were
it not that a most admirable euro had been
found. There is not a phase or nervous dis
ease, whatever it may be, that these Blttors
will not act upon favorably, and in the most
efiloient manner. All who are unfortunately
afflicted with oomplalnts of thlB nature, or with
Indigestion, or any dlseasos of tho Stomach,
should not fall to make use of Oukklet's Bona
son Bitters.
Chills and Fever. In many portions of the
United States, this terrible disease seizes its vic
tims as naturally as water seeks its level. Tlioi
system, In a particular ooudltlon, invites It..
The right medlolne tn prevent and euro thl
nmU'y, wo unhosltatlngly say, Is Oueklki's
Bouubon BitTKKSi It breaks up the fever,
drives it from the system, and will keep it at
bay, If taken In aocodance with directions on
the boltlo. Tho Bltmne purify and enrich the
blood, und this in rewn strengthens tho con
stitution. As an agreoablo tonic, these Bitters
have no equal.
Qreeloy'a Bourbon Blttars are meeting a sale
unparalleled In the history of popular medi
cines. In all diseases of the Stomaoh and
Bowels they are a sovereign cute, Tho worst
oases of Dyspepsia and Indigestion yield to the
remarkable potency of tho Blttors, whloh is as
agreeable to the taste ns It Is speedy and un
failing in lis goon ououie.
