A IIALLAD—ROT BT CARNULL.
A horseman, from Manassas bound,
Crita “ soldier, noble soldier I
I'll give to thee a pollen pound ^
To ‘ pats' me o'er the border.
11 Now, who be ye, so tketred and wild,
Would cross ibis puirded river ?"
'• 0, I’m l lie Thunderer’* faxrile child
’Most dead to reach a l iter.
“ J,ff. Dirts' horse behind pursues,
Around my rear they hover,
Hi* * Tg*rs,’ what would they not do,
Should they my tracks discover *
*' Ten henra before these desperate men,
I've spated nor spur nor leatl er,
For should they find me in the glen
My blood would stain ihe heather."
By l> ia the hosts csroe on a pace—
Cemu bellowing, shouting, th-iikirg,
And as he heard, the horseman's luce
Grew pale as he was speaking.
Out spokn the tardv Lined iite :
“I'll paaa yon Dae—I’m ready—
I is net for that tuvertiyn hrigtit
But for your sovereign lady.
“ And by my word ard by my sword 1
. Vou shall no bnger tarrr,—
I'll takt you pa-1 each picket yuard
Durjtar you utiykt mitearry."
Yet still as wilder surged that flood,
And as the night grew drearer,
The soldier at bis p ist still stood,
Trantfixcd with mortal terror. ”*
“ 0, haste thee, haste," the horseman cries,
*• Though it shout I rain arid thunder,
I’d in et the raging of the skies, r
But not J.ff. Davis' anger.”
The twain have left Virginia’s shore,
Sad Mary laud receives them,
Th* soldier vows that never tncro
Shall fanatics deedro him.
Says /sl'erman with mournful smile,
“Southward no more III ro.ni,
I’ll steer my bark to Erin’s Isle,
For Erin is my home.” P. II. D.

These is sn old picverb tbuut tin Jat ger to incspirt
persons of ha' U mg edge-tools. It is illustrated iu the
attempt of the Yankee to phy soldier, and use tire-arms.
Tbo following paragraph from a Wa-hingion letter-wri
ter shows that in this attempt they kill nearly as many
of each other as of thdr enemy :
“ The cv lsssncss in the usa of fire-arms by the Fede
ral troops is most aaiouishing. Since the commencement
of the war cot leas than three hundr d meti have b. cn
killed or severely wounded by the accidental disobag'
of fire arms in the hands of real o- nmiUur soldiers —
Th > apparent incredulity that person* who nro Rrotn in

Uted civil law, i statistic4 military rule and martial law,

liberties and property of thtir citixena at the mercy end
in the hands of a lew upstart military chieftains, who
govern tho country without regard to individual right.-,
justice or the public good.

On which side, then, U the government revolutionixjd?
Which petpb are crj jying’the benefits of the institu
lions founded by Washington and his compatiiota*—
Which party is standing by the old landmarks of Anglo
i Saxon liberty? Which con-.try is the nfogo, the
1 guardiau and the liopo of freedom, order and self-gov
ernment?
' A Si'USTpTpTi roK Con**.—Tne following eitract
from VRough:ng it in the Bu-h” by lira. Moodie wiil be
r.ad with interest at this time :
The first year we came to this country, I met with an
aocouut of dandelion ct fi'-e, published iu tbe New Yoik
Albion, given by a Or. Uurrl-mu, of Edinburg, who cai
rns ly recommends it «s an article of general use.
' li possesses," he Fays, “si! tb» fine flavor and exhib
ratiug proportiia of celts', wirhoul any of its deleterious
effect. The plant being of a srpsrifb nature, the ccff.e
made from ii when drank at night produces a tendency
to sleep, instead of excitii g waktlulm fp, and maybe
tafrlv us d ss a cheap and whnlcscm* substitute fer ti e
Arabian be rry, being e qual in substance and fi evor to the
best Mocha coffee.”
I tried the experiment and found it quite successful.
It it prepared iu the following manner:
I carefully washed tbe roots quite clean, without de
priving them of the fine brown skin wbnh covers them,
and which contains tho irsmuic flivor, which so nearly
res -mbles coffee that it is difficult to distinguish it from
1 it while roasting. I cut my rccts into Fmall pieces, the
1 sixe of a kidney Dean, and roasted them on an iron ba
king-pan, in the etovcwwen until they wore as brown
! and crirp as roft'eo. I then ground and tr.n feircd a
i small cup full of the powder to the coffee-pot, pourii g
upon it scalding water, end hoilirg it for a few momenta
b'iF'kty over the fire. Ths w suit wss beyord my expec
tations. The oeffee prov. d exe silent—far superior to tho
ommon ooffee we procured at the stores. For years we
ined uo o her article Experience taught me that tho
root of the dandelion is uot so good, when applied to,
this purpose, in the spring, as It Is iu tho fell. Tho time
of gathering lo the potato crop is the beet suited for col
lec'ing and drying the roots of the dandelion. Those
who want to keep a quauti'y for winter une may wash
and cut up tbo roots, and dry them cn boards in the
sun. They will keep for years and can be rotated when
required.
GEN. ALBERT SYDNEY JOHNSTON.
The fame of this m litary chieftaia i‘, us the Memphis
Appeal says, immediately associated with ihesucce-ssod
the pr Btigo of American arms. The high rank assigned
him in the Confederate army, sicca his re'ura from the
Pacific, biings him again piomiaoully before tie public
rye, when very naturally no little anxiety is manifested
by an admiring and confiding people to be made acquaint
ed with his antecedents.
The Houitou Ttltgraph fills this desideratum in a
I sketch of his career, which, being of interest, we lake
advantage of io compiling the following editorial eunima
! *}■
Aa is well known, Gen. Johnston is a native of the
8 ate of Kentucky. When quito young he i n errd as a
' cidetat Wmt Point,where as a cotemporary atudrnt with
Jrfl'snon Davis, he received a thorough mil ittry educa
tion. The unbounded confidence of Preaid nt f avit in

th « appointment Uuly conferred upon lim, than linn
and again iu his pubi c acta, when he was Bictitary of
' War u ider the old Eedrral govo-ament, as well as wbeu
a member if the Senate. Afiir giui.i.atior, Mr John

i Upou tho elec lien of Gou. Tayicr to the Presidency

people.
Alter this he was appointed to the r< sponsible com

the breaking out oi bu-liliiiis b tween the two Govern

Tetas, had parsrd the ordinance of secession, and erst

p^itian in the Foiier.il service, and began to make pre
parations with the view of at oncer moving to the South,

knowledge of Gen. Johus’oa, induced h m to tali 'the

He now ranks, by epjKiinttucnt, second only to Adju

THE INDIANS WEST OF ARKANSAS.
A Texas journal (the M> Kinney M<waengcr) contains
a letter from Hop. Albert Pike, Cciiimisdoner of the
Ouuftd rate States to ihe.Iudians west of Atkansas, in
which ho pays:
1 have this diy settled tho terms of conventions be
tween the Restrvo Indians, and the chiefs of the No co
ni, Ta-uel-wch, Ya-pa tih-ca and Oo-cho-tihoa bands of
the Comancbrs.
I am entirely ratified that the chiefs and their people
are amine in eood laith. Those four htuds agree to come
in and settle upon the Reserves. reaco 1, mtdo with
them, and the chiefs ate to go and curry the talk to the
other bat ill and induce them to come in airo, auJ meet
me here when the leaves fall.
Thn'moM perfect O Mifi l-1 oo is now felt by these Indians
in our good faith, and 1 have enti-e confidence in theirs.
Their confidence has been iu a gnat measure produced
by the fact Hint 1 have an escort of Or-.ik and f aminelc
mounted volunteer*, and that the principal chief* of the
Creeks and Semiuol-s are here with me, aud have given
a*suraLces that my promises w.ll be kept.
Col. 1’ike appeal* earucs'ly to the pt-cpla of the f oa
tier of Texas to s .conJ his elfirfi to r.store a..(l pre
serve friendly relation# with these children or the forest,
and adds:
lu the exercise of the powers vested In me, I have
stipulated that sli the Texas troop;shall be withdrawn,
and their place supplied by companies of Choctaw and
Caickasaw troops, and have giveu ulvioe of Ibid to the
Gov. of Te xas and to Col Ileury MoCnihv h.
I shall give the Cointnehe chiefs white flags and letters
of aafrguttd for themselves aud all the persons cf their
binds To tiolate these letters would be to dishonor the
R-public, and be who does it will commit a high crirai.
I: is my most anxious desire to effect a permanent
peace with the Com tcehcs, and their s -ttlcmeut upon
reserves. With the aid of the poc.pl • ot Text* I can do
it. Let them not liatiu to lying reports, set on foot, to
oos knows by whom, and at'iibuitig to tho Comanche*
all the villainies of the Cai a-was, who have r< fused to
make peace, when that w»n insisted on by the Couiauck
•u, and demanded of them the Peacemaker of the re
i *erve Cotnauches, that they might kill him.
The letter com lades aa folio »8:
The Confederate Sates know the cost of an Indjtn
war, and how very far the liv.-s of our people outweigh
in value tho«e of the few Indians that, from time to time,
we succeed in killing at immens; cost. They wish fer
peace on the frontier, that all our means, men, and en
ergies miy bo devoted to the maintenance cf cur l.ber
ties and honor iu the great strugglo iu which wo are eD

I whom the Northern officers in New Mexico have lately

which are Ptartling the inhabitants cf the tvhofe Conftd.
eracy, l suggest, us a basis of operations, this plan:
1.
A Surgeon (irneral, with the rank of Brigadier 0an

’ compute the chief Mcii-al Bureau, located in Hi. lunoiid
1 This Hurra'; shall provide medicines, surgical iuslrutni ntr,

If.
Each Divi ion sbr.il have a Surgeon and Phyric'ai
with the rank cf Colunel, appointed by tb« Ontial lit',
reiu ; who shall order all the in dical stores and aurgea'
appliance* from tbo Central Duresn; aid the Geurrt|
eomiuaudiog in tho selection ef camps; aelrcs the Irra

and remove all unworthy medical c UK ers, by and nth
tbe consent of the Brigade Bed cal Othoors, ami appo nt
those cflic.rs. .
III.
Each Brigade shall b-t supplied witii a Surgeun and
Physician, with ire rank of L!c'i:< naut Colo: e , and two
Aaiistauta, with tl.e rank of M.jor. Trie last two to i.e
appointed by the lirst two.
IV.
Eacir Regiment shall b? supplied with a Surgeon, w'th
the rank of M jor, and two Assistants, wi h the rank o*
Captain. Tito first to be appeinted by tiro Div'rion
Staff, upon the recjmnieula’.ion of tl.e Brigade Staff, and
the las: two upon the recommendation of the Regiment
Surgrci. and Brigade S’r.ff.
SPECULATIONS.
The Central Bureau to be appointed try the P.eiii'ent
—they to appoint the Division Medical Stall', only after
a thorough examination of their qualifications. The Di

quired to piss an examination before tbe Division and
> lir gtce sn it oetore tjtir appoimnit tit. alu in oraer to
promote the ttlieiency of the M> di:al corps, let the Di
vision and Brigade medical effieets be at once appointed
as above, and require all tubirdinatrs to undergo an ex
amination aa soon as passible—those rtftuing, to bo
discharged—those patting, to be confirmed.
V.
For each division of the Army there shall be 2 genera
hospi ale—one for fever patients, the other ftr th
! wouuded.
VI.
Each R’gimenUl 8trge>u, irerides his Asrit tent >, shall

the Ambulance, to bo carried to the Brigade Hospital by
1 the remaining Aid, accompanied by tbc Surgeon. One
Asiistant to occupy a salable pUcoof deposit, »nl afford
such aid as tbc wcuaded may immediately require, and
| aid in placing them in the AtnbaUtoc.
VII.
1 The Brigade MeHoal s iff shall rnnain at the Brigade
Ho'pital, and operate on, and dress thc'wounded, as they
arrive.
VIII.
During battle the Division MeHoal SUIT, ihould visit
eicb Hospital in their diffe-cntjBrigades, and distribute
the medical staff, ai necessity may require.
IX.
There shou'd be connected wi h each Division a large
ambulance fully provided with all i ecu varies, which
should follow the army, in case the batle ihould bo
fought at a distance from any Hoapital, in oVer that all
ofcrrtions requiring Immedia'e a'.ten'ion, might be per
formed, before the wounded t-bould be removed 'rom the
field. Kttrg tetund ihould he drtued, if pcttille, mlh

X.
Every Amhularance should bo supplied with Instru
raents, Tourniquets, Biodages, Stimulants, Anodynes,
and an abundance of water. And every Medical Ofiber
sheul I have such of theso articles on Lit person, during
battle, aa be cau conveniently carry.
The number of Physicians, Surgeons, and Aids we
have recommended above may seem to bo Urge. But
the number suggested, and their equipments, do not reach
by a great deal, the requirement! of Um ataadard adopt
e<3 by tbe great Biron Lairey, coihg tbe iwmiy c<ti

Of coarse nothing further could be done. 1 will only
add that while waiting for this note, I—I say “I," for Dr.
Cuahing was iuoue ot hia ailed mood:—had long con
vernations with Col. Finny and Mejcr Uounsel. on a va
riety of topics, not ignoring the cue great topic at kaue,
and found them both mis: accomplished, cultivated and
courteous gentlemen. Before the note came it grew
dark when Co!. Finney tock us to his headqtt irttrs, two
miles further toward Cross Lanes, without having us
blind-folded. There be gave us a sumptuous supper,
and lodged us till 3 o’clock A. M , wbeu we were sent
out of the I nis back, not blind-folded. I must also say
that in all our intercourse with the Babul cHirers aid
insu, I did not hear one abusive or tauutipg word. We
oould do; have been treated with moie kindness or con
sd-iilion.
The messenger is just Raving.
