PRAYER DURING BATTLE.
From the German of Korner
Father I call to theet
WrapM in the battle-clouda bellowing sound,
Midst volleying lightnings that hurtle around;
-Leader of battles, I call upon dice,
i . ' Father, direct -thou me !
i
Father, direct tbou me!
Lead me to victory lead me to death
Lord, I acknowledge thy sovereign breath j
Lord, as thou wilt, I will follow thee,
God, I acknowledge thee!
God, I acknowledge thee!
Midst the rush of the leaves whert the autumn
1 winds blow,
Alike in the thunder of battle, I know
The fountain of Grace, and I call upon thee!
Thou father, shadow me !
Thou father, shadow me !
My soul I commend to thy guardian sway,
Tia thine, for thou gavest and canst take it away ;
In life or in death, pour thy spirit on me,
Father, I hallow thee !
Father, I hallow thee !
Wc fight not for conquest, we fight not for gain,
Our swords are laid bare for the rights we maintain;
Thus falling andiriumphing, praise be to thee!
God, I submit to thee !
God, I submit to thee!
When the thunder of war bows my spirit in death
And my veins pour my life-blood away with my
breath,
My God, still submissive, I bow me to thee,
Father, I call to thee.
Anecdote. As Messrs. Webster and Ewing
were wending their way to Circleville, when
about seven miles from town, their passage was
intercepted by a tree, which had recently fal
len across the road, and which an honest yeo
man was leisurely cutting out. They surveyed
the premises, to see how the difficulty might
be overcome. Our knighfof the axe, not know
ing 'either of the distinguished Senators, con
gratulated himself on the timely arrival of two
such hale and able bodied men to his assis
tance; and very frankly advised them, as the
best means of escaping the difficulty, to get
down from their carriage, and aid him in the re
moval of the obstruction. Pleased with the
republican plainness of the suggestion, and find
ing the man's strength inadequate to the task
in hand, thev followed his advice. Mr. Ewing '
first took the axe, and wielded it with effect as
he does his arguments in the Senate and at the
Bar. He was relieved by Mr. Webster, who
was less familiar with chopping logs from the
road, than with removing the obstructions ol
chop-logic from - the wheels of government.
His enorts were so iaoorea ana menectuai, as
to attract the notice of the woodsman, who de
clared to him, "you are not doing vour best
now, sir? you must be "playing the possum !
You don't bend your back enough sir." The
tree cut off and the way cleared, our travellers
resumed their journey and left the country-!
man blessing his stars that thev had been di
rected that way, (which was off the main road,)
at that propitious hour.

(N the late conflagration of the Treasury
. building, nearly all the correspondence ot
the Secretary of the Treasury, from the estab
lishment of the Department to the Hist March,
was destroyed including, as well the
original letters and communications addressed
to the Secretary of the Treasury, as the records
of the letters and communications written bv
him. Witli a view to repair the loss, as far
as may be practicable, all officers of thetnited
States, are requested to cause copies to be pre
pared, and authenticated by them, of any let
ters (excepting those hereinafter alluded to,
which they may at any time have written to)
or received from, the Secretary of the Treasu
ry; and all those who have been in office, and
other individuals throughout the United States,
are ipvited to do the same. That this corres
pondence may be arranged into appropriate
books, it is requested that it be copied on fo
lio foolscap paper, with a sufficient margin on
all sides to admit of binding, and that no more
than one letter be contained on a leaf. It is
also requested, that the copies be written in a
plain and distinct or engrossing hand. Where
the original letter can be spared it would be
preferred. The reasonable expense incurred
in copying the papers now requested, not ex
ceeding the rate of ten cents for every hundred
words, will be defrayed by the Department.
The correspondence which has been saved,
and of which, therefore, no copies are desired,
are the records of the letters written by the
Secretary of the Treasury to Presidents and
Cashiers of Banks, from the 1st October, 1S19,
to the 20th February, 1833; all the correspon
dence relating to Revolutionary claims under
the act of 15th May, 1828, and to claims of
Virginia officers to half pay, under the act of
5th July, 1832; and to applications for the bc
nefits of the acts of the 2d March, 1631, and
14th July, 1832, for the relief of certain insol
vent debtors of the United States. Copies of
some circular letters and instructions, written
by the Secretary, have also been preserved:
and it is requested that, before a copy be made
of any circular letter or instruction, wrmeu uj
the Secretary of the Treasury, the date and ob
ject of the circular be first stated to the Depart
ment, and its wishes on the subject ascertained.
