Townsend, chairman of the TramboJJ County Republican Ce-, tral Committee, and first published on April 21, 1878, In the Western Reserve Chronicle, a staunch Republican newspaper: Ah! Jamie, lad, sic' news I hear, Sic Democratic taunt an' sneer They ca' the names that grate the ear, - - Like Tiliain, thief. Whilst down my beard tear chases tear, Wi very grief. In days gone by, wl' muckie pride, Wl' holy speech an' pious stride, I've seen ye rankit, side by side, Wl godly men; An' fame was peddlln' far an' wide, Your praises then. An' when upo the battlefield. Tour klntra's sword ye delgu'd to wield. We a' expected batter'd shield, An' broken spear. Ere ye an inch o' gran wad yield, For lore or fear. An' when, again, wl' load huzzas, We sent ye"aff to mak' our laws, An' show yoursel' i' Congress ha's, We tho't, l sooth, Te was as firm as granite wa's, For Rlcht an' Truth. Like Atlas, wl' his poad'reus load, Thro Legislative ha's ye strode, While, seeming, on your shouthers broad, The nation lay; An' weal an' woe stood at yoar nod To go or stay. But then, alas, we'd cause to fear That golden monster, Mobllier; That gulf d sae meay there an' here Like ane possess'd, Till doubts arose, If ye was clear, Or like the rest. And when ye saw the Treasury door An' lust ayont the shisln' ore, Wl' horse-leech greed, demandln more, Te could na stop; -But grip't the gold and drop'd your pow'r, A woefu' swap. Ah! Jamie, 'twas a luckless day, Whea ye made up your min' te stray Frae honest paths sae far away An' clutch wl' greed That 'cursed retroactive pay, Like ane In need. Now, tak' a Men's advice, keep calm, Get the right side of Uncle Sam, An' ask a mission to Sam, Or some sic' comer. Absence frae hame may prove a balm For wounded honor. Sae fare ye weel, the Lord be wl' you, An' muckie comfort may he gie you. An' frae the greed o' mammon free you, An' in the en', Frae Satan's clutches safely see you, Amen! Amen! STATE NEWS.

"Yes, I receive a great many letters," remarked the general to his group of attentive listeners, "and some very cu rious ones. I am very careful not to betray confidential correspondence, but a letter to which I am about to ref r does not come under that bead. It is a conundrum, in fact a Confederate colonel's conundrum." WI hope you were able to answer the conundrum," interrupted ona of the party. "I will tell the story," continued the general. "It is the conundrum and the answer together. The fight at Reams's station was a severe one, and lasted from morning trhtil night The enemy outnumbered us about three to one, and had it not been for this fact I probably would never have had this story to tell. It resulted in the capture of one of my staff. He was a brave man, none more so, and an able man ; very few in intellectual accomplish ments surpassing him. My only regret is that I did not know him better at that time, as I could then have engaged him to write my reports. .The fact is, I didn't have time to get acquainted with him so as to fully appreciate his merits, he was so persistently getting captured or wounded. Well, after his capture he was taken to Petersburg, and, with other prisoners, put in a tobacco shed for safe keeping, until he could be tak en to Richmond. He managed to stow himself in a tierce and, was left there. while his co-compatriots were marched Poff to the rebel capital. In the dark ness ot the night he stole away, reached in safety the banks of the Appomattox, divested himself of his clothing, plunged into the water and made for the opposite shore. It was destined that he should see Richmond before coming back to my camp. Instead of landing beyond the enemy's picket line, as he had calculated, he landed inside of it and was recaptured. Now, my Confederate correspondent, who had the good luck to capture him, has writ ten him asking me to give him his name, as he wants to renew his ac quaintance and apologize for the suit he then presented him." "Did you give his name t eagerly asked one of the listeners, whose curi osity in the denouement was such that he did not wait for the general to fin ish. 'Why, of course I did, and I have no objection to telling you gentlemen. It was my Adjutant General, a rancis A. Walker." "What, the superintendent of the census?" "None other." "The Yale College professor?" "The same." iflur r n'.f minaif Tt --H ' JifttraeutjL Mu.iA. fid...: po::, nrua Hagort' h:. r..-t VIA 30 taim2fsfdVifJi&sBW.itksr jaiL . bv the Grant' men on the committee reveneeToxhisireatmencIast winter, ivben the committee sat ? down on hiw heavily l '4: the Hey panotnej vetyjime eyer election of secretary, but finally , J, arjri wasjehosen Albert Mag j seeker alter tug nonoT, out tlmtl. aliong -faoeiout in the Qsbotnj: Munter, coiodt:ir8s . - . l A 1 ' S :' M.

My Dear Colonel : Inclosep find five dollars subscription for one year of Pro gress. I have just been reading the three last numbers. It will be a most valuable and powerful auxiliary to General Hancock. I feel more heart in this contest than ever since 1860, when I bore the flae for Douglas and local self-government, in the grand old days of the Republic, which folly con verted into a lonz and dreary nignt. The soldiers of thelforth Carolina Fifth will to a man vote for Hancock, for they feel themselves to be associated with his first victory, he said or tneir fight at Williamsburg: "North Caroli na ought to write Immortal on the ban ner of the ifth." I -wish the reunion of the Soldiers of America toay take place at Gettysburg. The Fifth will be sure to be there. Williamsburg and Gettysburg made the base and apex of the Hancock pyra mid.
