In spite of the shot and the shell BiscrSers kept ringing around ns, A s clear as the C ity Hall bell, Ee said all he could to encourage A-jd lighten the hearts of his men, Until he was bleeding and wounded, And nary dried up on it then. While two rifle regiments fought us, And batteries tumbled us down, TUm cursed B L ack Horse fellows charged us, Like all the Dead Rabbits in town. And that’s just the way with them rebels, It's ten upon one, or no fair, But we emptied a few or their saddles— You may bet all your soup on that air. „ Double up!’’ says our Colonel, quite coolly, When he saw them come riding like mad, And we did double up in a hurry, And let them nave all that we had.

The Brooklyn Fourteenth was another, Aud them Minnesota chaps too; But the odds were too heavy against us, And but one thing was left us to do : We had to make tracks for our quarters. And finished it up pretty rough ; But if any chap says that they licked us. I’d just like to polish bim off I America in Europe. Bayard Taylor, now in Europe, thus closes an interesting letter to the N. Y. Independent: One only thought disturbs the peace and seclusion of my mountain home. I do not need to close my eyes to see that long, imperia] street, transformed into an avenue of banners —to see the sudden blossoming of national colors from ev ery roof, every church-spire, every hill top —to see the “sun-burst” of Free dom spreading southward in a mighty arc, slowly driving before it the black cloud of tyranny and treachery. I see my noble countrymen, God biess them 1 creating a race of heroes, refreshing our •low commercial blood from the foun taina of subiima self Eaerifieo and purest patriotism ; I wait for the tardy messa ges which reach me across the Atlantic, and with every new instance that a great people is thoroughly in earnest, with ev ery illustration of bravery and endu rance, and devotion to the good cause, I hear a voice saving, like Henry of Na varre : “ Pends-toi, brave Crillon: nous atom combattu, et tu n'y etois pas I” My consolation is, that if “ they also serve, who only stand and wait,” in the present crisis they who are afar from the field of action may yet make them selves echoes of the battle-trumpets—in terpreters of the war-cries, to these mil lions of European spectators. Yes ! Here, at this distance, I see truly the significance of the struggle.— sere, where, in years past, I have com batted hostile opinions, grappled with tough monarchical prejudices, and ex tawl myself in endeavors to make our political system clear to minds which otherwise well instructed, had not the least comprehension of its character— my present difficulty is, not to show that the rebellion should be suppressed, but to show how it could possibly have arisen. The fatal imbecility of Buchanan’s ad ministration has seriously damaged our prestige abroad : any hesitancy, any tampering with treason, any failure on tte part of our rulers to press the war boldly and vigorously to a conclusion, would complete the mischief. In Enrope, it is our republican form of government that is on trial. A despotic assumption power would injure us far less, in the present instance, than an exhibition of weakness. As an orthodox believer in Sc.f-government, my constant prayer is: “God preserve us from the shame, the ■neiadicable infamy of Peace on any Other terms than the 'unconditional sub mission of the traitors 1” Republican Convention. It is perfectly competent for the Con vention, when it comes together, to tako such action as it pleases. We hope, then Ms action will be governed by the appa rent fact stated—that in this emergency all those truly loyal to the Government should be united in action. They may easily be, in our judgment. First, by taking men in whom all tho people will ha\e confidence as to their honesty, in ■pgr;ty and qualifications ; and secondly, by dividing them judiciously between the »ate parties. This done, all excuse for division among the true friends of the Government will be effectually done away ted little or no division among such will United action is highly desirable, Wi by this mode, which is certainly not 5 ,! y unobjectionable, but commendable, ft niay be secured.— Milwaukee Senti nel. Sitting vp Late.—The Washington correspondence of the Times says xou will hardly credit that many of e rebel residents of Washington re a:r,ed up all last night, waiting for the ck of Johnson and Beauregard.— vt i a? 8 A*® f* ct ’ they were very n c Gjsapp O i n t e( i this morning at tho the a i’P e *rance of those gentlemen on B ide.* b What Our Soldiers Should be. The following is an extract from an ar ticle in the Atlantic Monthly for Sep tember. It is especially necessary for our men, unaccustomed to the profession of arms, and entering at once untried upon this great war, to take a just and high view of their new calling: to look at it with the eyes, not of mercenaries, but of men called into their country’s service; to re gard it as a life which is not less, but more difficult than any other to be dis charged with honor. “Our profession,” said Washington, “is the chastest of all; even the shadow of a fault tarnishes the lustre of our finest achievements.” Our soldiers in Virginia, and in the other Slave States, have not only their own reputation to support, but also that of the communities from which they come. There must be a rivalry in generous ef forts among the troops of different States. Shall we not now have our regiments which by their brave and honorable con duct shall win appellations not less noble than that of the Auvergne sans tache, “Auvergne without a stain”? If the praise that Mr. Lincoln bestowed upon our men in his late Message to Congress be not undeserved, they are bound to show qualities such as no other common soldiers have ever been called to exhibit. There are among them more men of char acter, intelligence, and principle than were ever seen before in the ranks.— There should be a higher tone in our service than in that of any other people; and it would be a reproach to our insti tutions, if our soldiers did not show themselves not only steady and brave in action, undaunted in spirit, unwearied in energy, but patient of discipline, self-con trolled, and forbearing. The disgrace to our arms of the defeat at Bull Run was not so great as that of the riotous drunk enness and disorderly conduct of men during the two or three days that sue ceeded at Washington. If our men are to be the worthy soldiers of so magnifi cent a cause as that in which they are engaged, they must raise themselves to its height. Battles may be won by mere human machines, by men serving for eleven dollars a month: but a victory such as we have togain can be won only by men who know for what and why they are fighting, and who are conscious of the dignity given to them aud the re sponsibility imposed upon them by the sacredness ©f their cause. The old flag, the stars and stripes, must not be the symbol in their eyes of past glories and of the country's honor, but its stars must shine before them with the light of liberty, and its stripes must be emblem of the even and enduring lines of equal justice. How McClellan takes liis Ob servations. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Washington, says;— “We may, perhaps, meet a man in a broad straw hat, and without his tale-tell ing shoulder straps, riding slowly thro’ the camp, looking intently at the men, and noting every item of their accommo dations, and overhearing, without seem ing to listen, every word of their much or little grumbling. Unless he happens to be personally known, few take notice of . him, and the utmost of recognition he re | ceives is from the wid-awake sentry, who demands bis authority for passing the lines. Yet if this man were to aopear in all the gaudy paraphernalia with which the articles of war entitle him to bedeck himself, the musket of every sentry would be at the “present,” and the hand of ev ery officer would visit his cap with respectful military salute—for this un ostentatious man is an officer of high rank, on a quiet tour of observance. lie may be a brigadier general, or even a major general, or it is not impossible that it is the now universally-trusted McClel lan himself. For this young commander,never fond of show,but ever,save on State occasions, wearing the blue blouse of the Sturges Rifles (his body guard.) in preference to the more showy hablimcnts to which the regulations of the service entitle him,has many a time reviewed a regiment when they were utterly unconscious of his pre sence, and has passed through many a camp, which bad been in Egpytian dark ness as to the rank of their quiet guest. She Regretted It.—The following anecdote is going the rounds. “An elderly lady who attended a meeting of the First Vermont Regiment, arose full of enthusiasm, and said she thanked God that she was able to do something for her country; hertwosons, all she had in the world, were in the reg iment; and the only thing she had to re gret was, that she could not have known it twenty years ago—she would have fur nished more.” The Whole Story Told.—The Lon don Spectator has this paragraph under its heading of “News of the Week”: “The American Congress has voted the men and the money required by the President, and twenty per cent, more,and the house of representatives has affimed by 92 to 55 that it is “ no part of the du ty of officers to capture fugitive slaves.” The hand moves slowly on the dial, but it moves, and when the fingers pass the hour, the knell of slavery will ring out with a clang that will startle Europe. The Courier advicos Kentucky, in deciding which way she will go. to “look before she leaps.” We say let her look and then not leap at all. X3T A horse at Dover, N. H., was lately stung to death by wasps. He trod upon their nest and wasn’t able to tell them it was an accident. When we see a young lady wav ing the war flag of the South, we con clude that she is anxious for an engage ment with some good-looking Union man.— Louisville Journal.
