ler of the Universe grant that the rulers of the two sections of our country may follow the example set by the patriotic actors in this scene. A detachment of the Federal troops were stationed on the northern bank of the river. On the opposite, or southern bank, were stationed a detachment of the Confederate troops, all within hailing distance, (the river not more than one-quarter of a mile wide at this point.) A challenge was proclaimed by some two or three of the Federal troops to meet the same number of the Confederate troops in the middle of the river, (which is fordable below the ferry,) shake hands and drink each other's health. The challenge was accepted, and divesting themselves of their arms and a portion of their clothing, they met, exchanged salutations and drank together in mutual friendship. These troops had been skirmishing across the river some six or eight days previous, with cannon, rifles, and musketry. Yours, &c., B. B. P. Sugarland forest, June 25, 1861.

. O Liberty! the sweetest blessing Bestowed on man by hand Divine! Shall we, such priceless boon possessing, To slavery's power thy rights resign, While friendly nations hither turning With pitying eyes behold our shame? No! we will keep undimmed thy flame Upon our country's altar burning. chorus — From wrong, &c. Who seeks our “Union's” stars to sever, Not unavenged the crime shall be; For 'neath its folds, glorious as ever, We'll boldly march to victory! We'll bear the flag of Freedom shining, Crowned with fresh laurels by the brave, Till every “star and stripe” shall wave With peace and liberty entwining. chorus — From wrong, &c. What though our bravest sons are falling, By treacherous brothers basely slain; Pale not our hearts at duty calling, But Freedom and the Truth maintain! And bards will celebrate in story The noble song of liberty, The heroic deeds which made us free, And starred anew our country's glory. chorus — From wrong, &c. Saxonville, mass., June 25,
