E SONG O E A
The following exquisite poem, relating to a
well known incident, was written by Bayard
Taylor, during the protracted siege of Sevas
topol. I is one of the finest things in the
language:
Give ua.a song the seldier cried,
The otter trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camp allied,
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scoff,
Laj grim aud threatening under
And the tawny mound of the Malakoff
Nd longer belched its thunder.
Thpre was a pause. The guardsman said
We storm the forts to-morrow
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow.
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon—
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks ol Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame
Forgot was Britain's glory
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sung Annie Laurie."
Yoico after voice caught up the song,
Until the tender pasMon
Rose like an anthem rich andstreng—
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dare not speak,
Yet as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldier's cheek
Washed off the stain of powder.
Beyond the darkening oc»an burned
The bloody sunset's embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot and burst of shell,
And bellowing of the mortars.
Ami Irish Nora's eyes arc dim
For a singer dura and gory
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of "Annie Laurie."
Ah. noldier to yo honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing
The bravest are the tenderest—
The loving are the darinsr.

MY DEAR Sm Your kind "note of

for your remembrance of me and

putting down the rebellion. This is no

You know I would not have voted for
Mr. Lincoln. I am a Democrat and
expect to die one. There is no hope
for us—only in the supremacy of the

greatest stake ever offered to the

the only hope for humanity throughout
the world. We have enemies at home

in circumstances which stamp it

SCENE FOR A PAINTER.
The following from a Knoxville,Ten
nessee rebel journal, describing a se
cret meeting of thirty or forty Union
ists, called together by a well known
patriot, David Fry, admirably illus
trates the "idolatrous love*' for thediamond.
Stars and Stripes, and suggests
a subject worthy the highest in
spiration of our best historical paint
er:
Fry drew forth a United Stales flag
and spreading it upon a table in the
centre of the room, called upon his
followers to surrouud that emblem of
the Union, and take with him the oath
of allegiance. This was late in the
uight, aud after the whole plot had
been lully nnderstood,the conspirators
surrounded the table in groups, and,
by direction of the leader, placed their
left hands upon the folds of the flag,
raising aloti their right hands, and
swearing to support the Constitution
of the United States, to sustain the flaw
there spread before them, and to
doby
that night whatever may be impressed
upon them by their chief. The oath
was taken by all except two or three
in solemn earnest, aud in silence the
darkness relieved alone by tho dim
and flickering light of a solitary can
dle. The scene was impressive—the
occasion was full of moment—and
E O N S I I O N A N E N I O N
S VICTORIES PA »T OF
GEN MCCLELLAN'S A N S
Nearly three months ago, i. e, long
ere new influences were brought to
bear on the campaign, and the names
of new candidates for public favor
misused by the partisan press nearly
three months ago Gen. McClellan un
folded to Mr. Lincoln his plans (Mc
Clellan's—let no one seize his laurels!)
of the gigantic concerted movement
which is now smothering the enemy to
death. The President gave it pro
found attention, and with admiration
equally profound, indorsed its length
and breadth. Both Mr. Lincoln and
the Cabinet, with the popular impa
tience and the danger of foreign inter
vention pressing upon them, then wish
ed to know the limit of delay prior to
the commencement of the real cam
paign. Gen. McClellan, putting him
self into close communication with
Halleck, Buell, Butler, Wool, Sherman
Burnside and others, found that an at
tack from every quarter could be made
"on or before the 22nd ol February."
All promised, himself including, to get
ready for their several allottments of
the programme on or before this date.
Yon know what has been done. The
whole country rings with it. I doubt
not but that each Genenal who has
not struck his blow is quite as ready
and as able as those who have. I
know that still greater news will spee
dily reach you from the mouth of the
Mississippi River. You can also rest
assured that, if the enemy has not en-he
tirely evacuated Manassas before an-
other week has closed, his /etreating 2 3 5
the north'and east, as hitherto, but also
on the south and west.4 And thus the
plans of McClellan cannot be rendered
abortive.
Who, then, can help admiring the
firmness with which the Commanding
General, during this last terrible or
deal—the last trying fortnight—has
refused to move his column without
posiiive orders He has resisted, in
patient scorn of all the contumely heap
ed upon him by the same fickle mind
ed partisans who have, within a year
ruined an army, impeded the adminis
tration, and are now easting all their
chances of regaining lost popular con
fidence upon the throw of a sinde
le.
I am yet a believer in McClellan's
star. He has a noble head a coun
ten.'inc.' as honest and as loveable as
its lineaments are full of concentrated
thought. All the lines of his face
converge to the space between the
eyebrows, thus giving him that far
seeing, much embracing aspect which
has ever stamped the visage of a great
commander. W thought this, and
more, as, sitting yesterday in the House
gallery, we marked the double score
of epauletted brigade and division
Generals at whose head he entered the
hall. People seemed to gaze at himyoa
as never before. Each phase of hisenemy."
features was scrutinized. And from
all his compeers, though shorter than
many by a head, he would have been
chosen as the kingliest, like Saul.—

PILLS. —We were handed a few days
ago a box of "double-back-action Wild
Flower Sugar Coated Pills," with a re
quest to notice. These pills are now a
big thing—introduced to the public

companying the box, we learn that this
great medical discovery was purely
accidental—the inventor having been
shipwrecked on the coast of lower
California, while an infant, was washed
ashore in the basket in which ho was
sleeping, and taken prisoner by a she
grissley" and by her snckled until he
was twenty-one years of age. While
with his bear mother, being a close
observer, he saw what herbs and roots
the grissleyV resorted to when they
felt unwell and thus the Eruka was
found. After the inventor became of
age he took up his abode among the
Flat Head Indians, in which country
he discovered an immense cave, in
which he put up his labratory, and is
now engaged in compounding these
great pills, in limited quantities, fire

E DAVI S E E E A S AGO
In looking over our files We find in
the Courier, of Oct. 29, 1858, some
remarks made by Jeff. Davis, at
theLadder's
Maine State Fair, with comments of
our own, all of which must be interest
ing to our readers at this time.
The following is the article, as it
appeared in the Courier, ot the date
above mentioned
NOBLE S ENTiMErfts—The Hon. Jef
ferson Davis was present at the Maine
State Fair, held a few days ago at Au
gusta, and in response to a call, and
without preparation, made a,speech
which is spoken of in terms of com
mendation by the papers in that State.
The following extract, which is all for
which we can make room, will show
that it was a Union speech in the best
sense of the term
From the different iuterests of the
North and the South some pretended
to see reasons why they should be di
vided. But he saw why, particularly
for this, they should and would be
united. The North, with its leaping
rivers "and mechanicnl genius would
be a manufacturing section, and the
South would be a producer of staples.
Behind this selfish interest, which
formed a bond of union between the
States, there was the pride of being
an American citizen,—the greatest
country in the world not reckoned
by its armies and navies, but by itsOur
resources, the genius of its people, and
their will and power to do what will
become a free man. The whole is
my country," said the speaker, I
it with all my heart." [Tumultuous
applanse.]
But," said he, if 1 had no love
for any State but my own, still I should
be interested in the welfare and pros
perity of Maine, for it will act and re
act on Mississippi. The hand of na
ture set the seal of unity on the country
our fathers saw it and embraced it, and
patriotism made them one forever.—
New England was celebrated for its
manufactures, so much so that inge
nuity had become a Yankee character*
The name of Yankee was now
a synonym of enterprise and intelli
which was once a term of re-has
proach. And, said the speaker, you
may well be pround that you are Yan
kees—in the school house, in the public
assembly, in the workshop, and oncriminal
every sea. New England was cele
for the power of mind over
matter,which makes our people great."
—Rutland (Vt.) Courier.
DEFENCES, OF NEW ORLEANS,
I notice in recently published ex
tracts from Southern papers, that New
Orleans is "throughly fortified." I
have, I think, good reasons for believ
ing these reports to be false. Since
25th of January I have been in
al-dead
most daily personal communication
with a gentleman of high standing,
who was, on the 11th of January driv
en from New Orleans on account of
his Union sentiments. This gentle
man ha3 been a constant resident of
New Orleaas for more than fifteen
years, and all the while connected with
large public interests, and he says that
no attempt has been made to fortify
New Orleans, and that the city will
surrender without a blow upon the fall
of the two forts at the mouth of the
Mississippi and further that he be
lieved that a large part of the more
substantial citizens will hail the ap-arrangement,
pearance of the star and stripes."—
Without any desire to obtrude my
name upon public notice, you may say
this communication is from Col. T. B.the
Thorpe.—JVT Y. Commercial Adv.
Gov. W I S E has recovered from his
illness now that the battle is over, and
is again on the rampage. As his three
thousand soldiers surrendered as soon
jas a baker's dozen had fallen, he gave
them a little advice in the following
terms:
"If the enemy's gnus reach further
than yours, reduce the distance, meet
them foot to foot, eye to eye, body to
body and when you strike a blow
strike home. Your true blooded Yan
kee will never stand still in the pres
ence of cold steel. Let your aim there
fore be to get into close quarters, and
with a few decided vigorous move
ments, always pushing forward, never
back my word for it, the soil of Vir
ginia will be swept of the vandals who
are now polluting its atmosphere."
A Abolition convention was re
cently held in Boston. At this meet
ing Stephen Foster, in one of his
speeches, said they had something else
to do besides giving the negro his free
dom, and added:
W most put him in the Senate and
admit him in oar social circles. W
have got to swallow the negro whole,
with all the wool on him. When we
can do that, then wo shall have the
millenium, and not till then. If we
are not prepared to do this, we hadcorning
better fight on the Confederate side.
I weald not support tho Government
its present position. I have endeav
ored to dissuade every young an 1
could from enlisting, telling them that
they are going to fight for slavery.

of Gen. Halleck to send forward the
Fourth Regiment and other Minnesota
soldiers forthwith," has been some
what modified. Quartermaster Saund
ers received orders yesterday to make
no contract tor transportation except
by boats. No time will be lost by this

COAL. C. S. Bryant, Esq., of this
place, has left at our office a specimen
of the coal recently found along the
Cottonwood river, this side of New
Ulm. Itis rather light, but makes a
geod fire in a close stove however,
there seeins to be an iron or other min
eral substance in|it, which depreciates
its value for furnace fires. The vein
is about 15 inches in depth, and has
been traced about 15 miles in length.
W learn that coal has also been dis
covered in the Blue Earth valley, in
larger quantities than along the Cotton
wood. A party is now organizing in
New Ulm to make extensive explora«
tions as soon as the weather will per
