A QUESTION WHICH MAJOR-GEN. HALLECK WON'T ANSWER.
If, before Corinth, you laid ninety days,
Pleasing the foe with masterly delays,
Failing, at last, to beat 'em;

How long should you have given "Little Mac,"
To make all ready for a grand attack,

From the day he won "Antietam ?" RIBS.

Extreme religious bigotry indulged for more than two centuries, and constant intermarriage have impoverished the Yankee blood, until the Yankee mind has become diseased and filled with innumerable "isms." On the contrary, though the South has preserved its great English features, a healthy admixture of the blood of other races has kept it from degeneration. Besides, our people were from the start tolerant and well-bred, haters of Cromwell and his whole cropped, steeple-hatted race, and its accursed cant, and worshipping another God than mammon. They have held honor as the highest excellence, and cultivated the refinements of civilization.

There is no safety in any thing short of the bayonet. Hope of something turning up, of the gradual omnipotence of a peace party, of the West separating from the East, of a resistance to the onerous taxation of the Lincoln Government, have too long deluded the public mind of the South. All such hopes are fallacious. The sober mind at last turns back to the bayonet as the only peace-maker.

The battle of Gloutta was fought on the twentyseventh of March, by eleven hundred Texans under Colonel Scurry, and over two thousand Federals, under Colonel Slough, of the Pike's Peak volunteers. We whipped and utterly routed them after six hours' hard fighting. They left five hundred and seventeen dead and wounded on the field. Their loss, however, is now learned to be over seven hundred. Victory was gained by the loss of the brave Majors Roguet and Buckholts, of the Fourth, and Major Shropshire of the Fifth; our loss in killed and wounded being sixty-seven.-Texas State Gazette, April 28.

NORTHERN WOMEN AND THE WAR.-The sufferings of our sick and wounded soldiers have drawn forth freely all the noble and benevolent characteristics of the women of the North, hundreds of whom have flocked to the hospitals east and west, and are cheerfully acting as angels of mercy to the poor fellows who are suffering there with wounds and disease. Conspicuous among these philanthropic women is Mrs. Henry Baylis, the wife of a merchant of New-York, who, as chief directress of the Women's Relief Hospital, has left a home of affluence and ease, and is now devoting her whole time and energies to the relief of our sick and wounded soldiers at Yorktown. She has not only volunteered to endure the privations and discharge the disagreeable duties of hospital life, but she has studied the profession of surgeon and nurse, so that she can care for a wounded limb equal to any of the surgeons of the army. The memory of such a woman should be cherished by the whole nation, and she is richly entitled to a fame equal to that which Florence Nightingale has so justly earned.-New-York Atlas.

CURTIS HORSE SURPRISE.-W. D. Gleason of Wy oming, Jones County, a member of the Curtis Horse, and who was in Major Schaeffer's command when surprised by the rebels, relates the following incidents in a letter published in the Anamosa Eureka:

"Just before sundown the alarm was given, and we were ordered to saddle as quickly as possible. We did so, but were hardly in time. I saddled my horse as quickly as possible, but when trying to bridle him, he stubbornly refused to open his mouth. I finally forced the bits into his mouth, untied him, and mounted.

The enemy were then close upon us, and when I reached the road, they were within two and a half rods of me, and yelling like fiends. They called upon me to surrender, and as I gave no heed to their cries, fired; but luckily for me, their aim was poor, and I escaped without a wound, although one shot went through my blouse. After reaching the road I put spurs to my horse and flew like lightning along the road.

REBEL OFFICERS IN BATTLE.-The following is a rebel official circular, and accounts for the fact that the National loss in officers in battle is oftentimes so much greater than that of the enemy:

WAR DEPARTMENT, ADJUTANT AND INSPECTOR-GENERAL'S OFFICE, RICHMOND, June 3, 1862. Officers of the field are permitted to wear a fatigue dress, consisting of the regulation frock-coat, without embroidery on the collar, or a gray jacket, with the designation of rank upon the collar. Only caps such as are worn by the privates of their respective commands may be worn by officers of the line.

Mounted officers are ordered to dismount in time of

action, whenever they can do so without interference with the proper discharge of their duties.

Officers of all grades are reminded that unnecessary exposure in time of battle, on the part of commissioned officers, is not only unsoldierlike, but productive of great injury to the army and infinite peril to the coun try. They are recommended to follow, in this particular, to a reasonable extent, the excellent example set them by the enemy.

By command of the Secretary of War.

THE KEEPER OF THE RICHMOND BASTILE.-Capt. T. of the confederate States military prison, known as the D. Jeffress, C.S.A., has been assigned to the command "Libby," corner of Twentieth and Cary streets. Capt. Jeffress was attached to the Fifty-sixth Virginia regiment, and was with Gen. John B. Floyd in Western the battles of Gaines's Mills and Frazier's Dam, around Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and also served in Richmond, where for gallant and meritorious service he received honorable mention in the brigade report. -Richmond Examiner, October 3.

JOE PARSONS, A MARYLAND BRAVE.-A correspondent of the Boston Transcript, writing from the hospitals of Alexandria, Va., relates the following anecdote: Joe enlisted in the First Maryland regiment, and was plainly a "rough" originally. As we passed along the hall we first saw him crouched near an open window, lustily singing, "I'm a bold soldier boy," and observing the broad bandage over his eyes, I said: "What's your name, my good fellow?" "Joe, sir," he an"I ran about a mile and a half, when my horse swered, "Joe Parsons." "And what is the matter jumped into a mud-hole and fell, unhorsing me and with you?"

across his face, destroying his sight forever. He was but twenty years old, but he was as happy as a lark! "It is dreadful," I said. "I'm very thankful I'm alive, sir. It might ha' been worse, yer see," he continued. And then he told us his story.

[ocr errors]

"I was hit," he said, "and it knocked me down. I lay there all night, and the next day the fight was renewed. I could stand the pain, yer see, but the balls was flyin' all round, and I wanted to get away. I couldn't see nothin', though. So I waited and listened; and at last I heard a feller groanin' beyond me. 'Hello!' says I. 'Hello, yourself,' says he. 'Who be yer?' says I-'a rebel?' 'You're a Yankee,' says he. So I am,' says I; What's the matter with you?' 'My leg's smashed,' says he. 'Can't yer walk? 'No.' Can yer see?' 'Yes.' 'Well,' says I, 'you're a rebel, but will you do me a little favor?' 'I will,' says he, 'ef I ken.' Then I says: 'Well, ole butternut, I can't see nothin'. My eyes is knocked out; but I ken walk. Come over yere. Let's git out o' this. You p'int the way, an' I'll tote yer off the field on my back.' 'Bully for you,' says he. And so we managed to git together. We shook hands on it. I took a wink outer his canteen, and he got on to my shoulders.

"I did the walkin' for both, an' he did the navigatin'. An' ef he didn't make me carry him straight into a rebel colonel's tent, a mile away, I'm a liar! Hows'ever, the colonel came up, an' says he, 'Whar d'yer come from? who be yer?' I told him. He said I was done for, and couldn't do no more shoot'n; an' he sent me over to our lines. So, after three days, I came down here with the wounded boys, where we're doin' pretty well, all things considered." "But you will never see the light again, my poor fellow," I suggested, sympathetically. "That's so," he answered, glibly, "but I can't help it, you notice. I did my dooty-got shot, pop in the eye-an' that's my misfort'n, not my fault-as the old man said of his blind hoss. But I'm a bold soldier boy," he continued, cheerily renewing his song; and we left him in his singular merriment. Poor, sightless, unlucky, but stouthearted Joe Parsons.

SONGS OF THE REBELS.

BATTLE ODE TO VIRGINIA.

Old Virginia! virgin crowned
Daughter of the royal Bess,
Send the fiery ensign round,
Call your chivalry renowned,
Lineage of the lioness.

You have thrown the gauntlet down,
Pledged to vindicate the right;
Bid your sons from field and town,
Through summer's smile and winter's frown
Make ready for the fight.

Now that you have drawn the sword,

Throw away the useless sheath,

Hear your destiny's award-
Drive the invaders from your sward,

Or lay your heads beneath.

In the field with conflict rife,

None must falter, yield, or fly;
Honor, liberty, and life,

All are staked upon the strife,
You must "do or die."

Let your daughters shed no tear,
Though their dearest may be slain;
None for self must hope or fear,
All with joy their burdens bear,
Till you are free again.

By the consecrated soil

Where your Washington had birth, Keep your homes from ruthless spoil, Keep your shield from spot or soil, Or perish from the earth. *

A MOTHER'S PRAYER.

Father, in the battle fray,
Shelter his dear head, I pray!
Nerve his young arm with the might
Of Justice, Liberty, and Right.
Where the red hail deadliest falls,
Where stern duty loudly calls,
Where the strife is fierce and wild-
Father! guard, oh! guard my child!

Where the foe rush swift and strong,
Madly striking for the wrong;
Where the clash of angry steel
Rings above the battle-field;
Where the stifling air is hot,

With bursting shell and whistling shot,
Father! to my boy's brave breast
Let no treacherous blade be pressed!
Father! if my woman's heart-—
Frail and weak in every part—
Wanders from thy mercy-seat,
After those dear roving feet,
Let thy tender, pitying grace,
Every selfish thought erase!
If this mother's love be wrong-
Pardon, bless, and make me strong.

For when silent shades of night
Shut the bright world from my sight;
When around the cheerful fire
Gather brothers, sister, sire,
Then I miss my boy's bright face
From the old familiar place,
And my sad heart wanders back
To tented field and bivouac !

Often in my troubled sleep,
Waking, wearily, to weep-
Often dreaming he is near,
Calming every anxious fear-
Often startled by the flash

Of hostile swords that meet and clash,
Till the cannon's smoke and roar
Hide him from my eyes once more!

Thus I dream, and hope, and pray
All the weary hours away;
But I know his cause is just,
And I centre all my trust
In thy promise-as thy day
So shall thy strength be alway!
Yet I need thy guidance still;
Father! let me do thy will!

[blocks in formation]

If new sorrow should befall,

If my noble boy should fall,

If the bright head I have blessed,
On the cold earth finds its rest-
Still, with all the mother's heart,
Torn, and quivering with the smart,
I yield him, 'neath thy chastening rod,
To his dear country and his God.
-Richmond Dispatch, Oct. 18.

THE REBEL IN THE WOODS.

The winter is gone and spring has come once more
The rebels rejoice that winter is no more
For it is spring and the leaves are growing green
The rebels rejoice that they cannot be seen.

CHORUS.

Then home soon they will be

Home, dearest home to this our country

Where the rose is in the bud and the blossom on

the tree

And the Lark is singing home to North Missouri.

We have taken up arms in defense of our farms

And if the Federals trouble us we will surely do them harm

For we have declared that our land shall be free
But if they stay away how quiet we will be.

CHORUS.

From home, home we will be, &c.

The rebels from their homes are compelled to go,
And stay in the woods where the bushes are thick and
low;

For if they do go home and there attempt to stay,
The Feds will come and force them away.

CHORUS.

Away, away they will be,

Away from their homes in their own country.
Away from their sweethearts they have to be,
And lay in the woods by night and by day,
And for fear of Alton penitentiary,
Still from their homes they have to be.

For if by the Feds they should captured be,
They will be carried to the penitentiary,
And there be confined in cells dark and low,
Away from his home in his own country.

But for the sake of still remaining free

CHORUS.

Then away, away I will be,

Away from my home and away from thee.

When the war is over I will return to thee,
We will get married if we can agree,
And when we are joined in wedlock's happy band,
Then we never more will take the parting hand.

But if by you I should rejected be,
Then my happiness can never completely be,
But if my bride you do consent to be,
Then we'll live together in love and harmony.

Captain Z y K has eighteen in command
The Feds do fear him whenever he makes a stand
For they do make such a gallant charg
The Federals always thinks therr force is large.

CHORUS.

Then away the Feds will be, &c.

General Guitar if a fight you do crave
Attack co. Z y K & they will send you to your grave
For their men are brave and true & all you have to do
Is to bring on your force and they will put you through.

The girls of Terrapin encourage us to fight,
They say by driving the Feds away we'll surely do
right,

Come out you new militia we'd like to get a whack We will make you run and shoot you in the back.

NEW-ORLEANS, Oct. 10.-A case of some interest to the "cullered population" was decided, yesterday, by Judge Kinsman. It appears that a free colored man named John Montamat was married to a slave woman, by whom he had two children, one of which died; the other, a little girl about eleven years of age, a bright mulatto, quite fair to look upon, still survives, and was the subject of the present legal proceedings. Montamat, at the time of his marriage, determined to purchase the freedom of his wife from her owner, and, in furtherance of that object, had paid six hundred dollars. In order to secure the freedom of his surviving child, he sent her to Cincinnati, where she was baptized into the Catholic Church. Montamat, the father, subsequently became involved in debt in this city, and mortgaged his daughter as a slave to secure his crediThe mortgage was foreclosed in February, 1862, and the child of this father was sold to a Mr. Slavoie, at sheriff's sale. In the present case, Montamat applied for the freedom of his child under the circumstances above detailed. Able counsel had been re

CHORUS.

Then home, home we will return

The bloom of health from his cheeks will be gone
But when he is released and set at liberty
He will return to the land of the free.

Troops from those States will, until further orders, be received into the confederate service under the act passed by the confederate Congress prior to the act above referred to, and the execution of which is suspended."

STONEWALL JACKSON ADMINISTERS THE SACRAMENT. On the morning of a recent battle near Harper's Ferry, after a sermon by one of his chaplains, Stonewall Jackson, who, by the way, is an elder in the Presbyterian Church, administered the sacrament to the church members in his army. He invited all Christians to participate in this ceremony. A Baptist, the straitest of his sect, thoroughly imbued with the idea of close communion, was seen to hesitate; but the occasion, and the man who presided, overcame his scruples, and thus it has happened that the prospect of a fight and the eloquence of Jackson made a Baptist forget that baptism is the door into the church. all Jackson's army an oath is rarely uttered. ligious enthusiasm pervades it, which makes every and blood for property.

They answered: "The Third South-Carolina. What do you belong to ?" "The Tenth Virginia," answered Garrabrant, and made off in the opposite direction, when he soon met some Federal soldiers. He is now lying in a hospital at Baltimore.

NEW REBEL SEAL.-The rebel Congress could not settle a seal for the confederacy. The two houses could not agree upon a device, and a committee of conference failed to settle the matter. The following was the Senate's design:

An armed youth in classic costume, standing beneath, a woman is clinging. The whole is surrounded by a margin of rice, cotton, tobacco, and sugar-cane. Motto, "Pro Aris et Focis."

GENERAL GRANT received the following communication from a rebel. The letter was written on three leaves out of a memorandum book, about four by three inches in size :

GENERAL SUMNER had a son, a captain on his staff, who is but twenty-one years of age. During the battle of Antietam, when the bullets were whistling around the General's ears, he found it necessary to send the young man upon a mission of duty to a certain portion of the field. After giving him the requisite instructions, Gen. Sumner embraced him and said: "Goodby, Sammy."66 Good-by, father," was the response, and the captain rode forth upon his mission. On his return, the fond father grasped his hand, with the simple remark of "How d'ye do, Sammy?" The spectators of this filial scene were much affected.
