A   JOLLY   POEM.    ,
The following humorons poem—though its chief
merits consist in its local witicisms, will read well
everywhere—was written in celebration of the
late astonishing Democratic victory in Storey
oounty (Virginia City,) Nevada Territory. The
production Is attributed to tbe facile pen of W. H.
Rhodes, better known to the literary world as
"Caxton" and "Pym:"
THE BATTLE.
Come gather 'round me, Democrats,
And listen to my tale,
I'll tell youhow our gallant boyg
Made Lincon's cohorts quail;
'Twas the seventh of September
That we met tbem on the field,
.   And ere the glorious eon bad set,
We made old shoddy yield.
Behold our gallant Bradford I
Rushing headlong on the foe,
And with a Democratic sword,
He strikes a fatal blow:
It cleft the skull and broke the ribs
Of their mighty warrior, Fitch—
His Pizzaringiuui's down, my boys,
He's buried in a ditch.
Next, mounted on an Arab steed,
Democracy by name,
Jake Clark comes prancing on tbe field,
To strike for glorious lame:
With spear in rest he aims a blow
Full of Patiiot's rage,
And pierced the guunt bread basket
Ot blue-bellied Stephen Gage.
Ha! ha! make way for Herman bold,
Be dashes through the fight,
And like Napoleon's eagles old
Puts every loe to flight;
And what heroic daring done
By Lucien, would you know, sir?
Behold, here lies old Driscoll's head,
And yonder lies his Toe Sir. [Tjzer.]
. The battle ragee fierce and long.
Our foe with stock and barrel
Sent Easterling and Buckingham
To flank aur brave O'Farrell;
But never yet did Erin's blood
Turn pale where there waa danger;
O'Farrell laid those heroes out
Two dead dogs in one manger.
But hark I I hear the thrilling peal
Come up from glen and valley,
Make way for Gold Hill's Phalanx bold,
Round Vesey's'flag they rally;
Charge! charge! whoever dores to face
Our Phalanx is a gone»er—
Alas! for every acaley Fish
And Abolition Warner.
But lo! behind our breastworks high,
Far in tbe distant rear,
The Abolition horde attacks
Our line with black Feusier—
They strive to gaio our money cheat—
Our country's precious* cargo—
Their battle cry Root, hog 0: die,
And die they did by Fargo.
Behold their wavering column halt,
They dread the fiery ordeal—
Hastings is slain and^ Dohlman dies.
Poisoned by Cherry Cordiell—
Their greatest Engineer, George Hunt,
Threw up the sponge to Mason.
The field is ours, we've captured all,
Each haversack aud caisson.
Young Hoover's blood has flowed in vain—
An erobryotic lawyer:
While Justice holds her visor np
To show tbe face of Sawyer;
There miniBtering at his side
We recognize no blackey,
But Feeney holds our banner up   ,
And tramples on a Lackey.
Two thousand prisoners grace the day,
And spoils—we've taken all—
And last, not least, we've crucified
The great Apostle Paul.
Then give three cheers for Little Mac-
Three groans for Lincoln green—
And let our Democratic Flag
On every hill be seen.
J. B. Crockett on the Crisis.
On the 3d inst., a grand mass meeting and barbecue took place at Santa Rosa, Sonoma county,
where five thousand Democrats assembled. Tbe
following patriotic letter from J. B. Crockett, a
well known and leading member of the Sau Francisco Bar, was read upon tbe occasion :
San Fraocisco, September 2, 1864.
Thomas L. Thompson, Esq., Secretary : Dear
Sir—I regret exceedingly tbat a serious illness
deprives me of tbe pleasure of meeting the Democracy oi Sonoma at Santa Rosa, to-morrow. I am
now in the bands of my physician, and cannot go
wiihout incurring serious peril to my health, I
regret this tbe more, because it will be the first
numerous assemblage of the Democracy of this
State, since we were informed of tbe action of tbe
Chicago Convention. - So far es I am individually
eoncerned, whilst General McClellan was not my
first choice for tbe high office to wbich be haB been
nominated, I am, nevertheless, prepared to support
him. witb all my mind and strength, and Bhall do
battle under his flag from now till the election,
wbicb I am convinced will result in a glorious
triumph of tbe Democracy. Io such a contest aB
that in which we are engaged—involving tbe fate
of tbe nation—our Individual preferences must be
sacrificed to the publio good. In my opinion nothing but the zealous and energetic action of tbe Democratic party can rescue tbe Republic from the
Imminent perils in which it has been involved by
the frauds, fanaticism and flagrant usurpations of
the Abolition Administration for more than three
years past. We are to choose now between another four years of blood shed, rapine, oppressive taxation and flagrant abuse of power under Lincoln,
and an honest and jnst administration under McClellan, in wbich an effort will be 'made, in good
faith to settle our national difficulties, by amicable adjustment on tbe basis of the Constitution.
In whatever particulars George McClellan may
have erred, this at least can be said of bim, that
from the beginning he bas consistently opposed
Mr. Lincoln's insane theory of subdividing sovereign States into petty municipalities ; of robbing
them oi their rights, and reducing  tbem to  tbe
condition of territories ; of attempting to set four
millions of slaves free by a proclamation ; of
a general and widespread confiscation of property
out side of tbe Federa 1 lineB, tbat it may be divided among his soldiers ; and of a war prosecuted,
not to restore the Union, but in the interest of
Abolitionism, to exterminate slavery, which is
distinctly recognized and protected by the Constitution. Witb these guarrantees in his past conduct, and with tbe belief tbat, if elected, he will
surround bimself with able, well-tried and lifelong Demoorate, and tbat be will live up to the
principles announced in the Chicago Platform
(every one of whioh meets my cordial approval,)
I am prepared to yield him my hearty support;
and I will do so the more zealously, because I believe bim to be a man of scrupulous integrity, of
pure patriotism, an of great vigor of mind and
character, who will reBtore tbe Government to its
power and purity, and redeem it from the flagrant
corruptions which have marked its history for
more tban three years past. It behoves us of California to enter into this contest with no luke-
warmness or want of zeal. Everything that we
have or prize, as oitizens or patriots, is at a etake
on tbe issue ; and I am convinced that it requires
only concerted, vigorous action on our part to
give a rousing majority for McClellan and Pendleton in November next. Let California send back
a triumphant response to tbe shout of victory
wbich is to reach us soon from New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ooio aod the great Northwest.
Respectfully yours, etc.,
J. B. Crockett.

The Horrors of the 'War In  Missouri.
Brunswiwick, July 25, 1864.
There is considerable excitement in Cha'iton
county at present, owing to murders and outrages
committed on citizens at their homes. On Monday evening last a Mr. Stratton, living in tbe
north part of tbis county, was shot dead, his money taken, and bis family turned out on the cold
charity ofthe world. A man by the name of Vincent had his house burned and contents destroyed.
Stratton was a Southern sympathizer, but was a
very quiet inoffensive man. Vincent was a South
ern sympathizer, and fled from bis borne wbile
Truman was in (his county shooting and hanging
unarmed citizens, and has ever since been in Randolph county at work. We know not wbo are the
authors of this diabolical outrage, but it is charged upoo Captain Crandall's command, stationed
at Brookfield, in Linn county. Two nights afterwards Holtzc law visited tbe same neighborhood
and executed two or three Union citizens in retaliation.
You will perceive tbat two bouses have been
consumed, two families turned out of homes, and
four good citizens murdered in cold blood, and
God only knows where tbis brutal matter will
stop. Wbe have on all proper occasions raised
our voice against such conduct, and it is manifest
to us unless General Fisk puts a stop to Federal
soldiers killing, at discretion, no citizen will be
safe. To say that any considerable portion of tbe
citizens of Chariton couoty are in sympathy witb
bushwhackers, is an absurdity; and it is Btrange,
indeed, tbat any man of character would make tbe
assertion. Yet we bave here croakers daily making such assertions, and advising soldiers to make
war upon unarmed and helpless citizens. We are
glad to know that the better class of all parties in
this couoty are opposed to such wholesale murder
and destruction of property. Is there no way to
put a stop to tbis most infamous conduct? Would
it not be right to put out of office, all officers who
tolerate such conduct on lbe part of their men, and
appoint men in tbeir places, wbo will protect the
citizen.and make vigorous war upon bushwhacker^
Tbat tbe country is iufested to some extent (and
it will continue to be the case untill tbe suppression of the rebellion) with bushwhackers and assassins, is evident to all discerning minds, and
when citizeus are, from a mere supposition of
sympathy with them, murdered In cold blood, it
is clear to our mind tbat men like the bushwhack
ers, wbo recognize no law, will retaliate.
. We have seen enough in this county siboe Truman's raid to satisfy us that a small gang of wel'
organized men at tbis season of tbe year, can
evade the Federal troops and commit the gravest
excesses upon any neighborhood, by taking lile
if they choose. In your city it is different, but in
tbis brushy and broken oonntry all we have said
is true. We have spoken in plain and unmistak-
adle terms because we wish to be understood.
Tbe great body of tbe Union citizens
of this county are with me in entering a
solemn protest against allowing subordinate
officers or men to shoot or hang citizens without
trial or even cause. Io every instance, the citizens who have been murdered by Inman's ga ng
or by Captain Crandall's meD, or tbe outlaw,
Holtzcl'aw, bave been either taken from the bosom
of their families or from their farms. Not a single
bushwhacker or armed man bas been seen by tbese
gallant troops. They seem to have wonderful skill
in avoiding a collision with armed foes, but are
terrible on unarmed and quiet parties.
Thurlow Weed says: "Abolition influences, in Congress and in the Cabinet,
have doubled the millions of dollars and
deepened the rivers of blood, spent knd
shed in a war which, so long as such influences and counsels sway fhe G-ovesrn-
ment, promises nothing but an interminable doifflict or an inglorious termination." According to Mr. Weed, "the
re-election of Lincoln is a cheerful prospect for our country. Can Weed vote
for his re-election, after this frank confession ? Is it nol a crime to vote to
continue such an Administration in
power ?
The Hangman's Party.
The most significant and appropriate vignette
ever adopted to represent the seniiments ofa party,
is that displayed on the advertising wagon of the
Jacobin League in this city yesterday—a large canvass.painting representing a man banged to the
limb of a tree. The gallows is as appropriate an
emblem of the Jacobins of this day as was the guillotine of the Jacobins of the French Revolution,
and the Loyal League is identical with the French
organization. To complete the parallel, the meeting in the evening was presided over by Dr.Rowell,
who recently offered hia services as chief poisoner
for the League. The animus of the party is illustrated in these significant indications. If the courage of these midnight conspirators was only equal
to their wftl, our streets would run with the blood
of their political opponents, and hanging, stabbing,
and poisoning would be a common pastime witb
tbem.
What a mockery of free government is that
wbere the gallows Ib adopted as tbe Insignia of a
political party, the members of wbich are bound
by secret oath to obey the orders of their superiors
and to protect and defend each Other in the commission of any crime against their political opponents,
and to carry the election by force if necessary;
where their public epeakers invoke mob violence
and justify assassination for party differences!
This is the entertainment to wbich the free citizens
of this country are invited by the Loyal League.
This is called "fighting for freedom," and "saving
the Union." It is the freedom of the gallows, a
union with hell, and a covenant with death.—Democratic Press.
The Negko Soldiers.—Whatever
doubts there may have been with regard to the courage ofthe negro troops,
must have been dissipated by the result
ofthe disastrous assault upon the defenses of Petersburg. SNearly all the
correspondents who have described
the repulse ofthe Federal forces agree
in sayihg that they are not to be relied
upon hereafter as soldiers, while not a
few attribute the defeat of the 30th Hit.,
to their cowardice. That these unfortunate creatures should have been employed in assailing almost impregnable
defenses will doubtless excite considerable surprise, but it is said it was absolutely necessary, as the white troops decline any longer to be buchered. We do
not, however, attach any credit to this
report, but are rather of the opinion
that the negroes were led to the assault
in hope that they would establish the
claim to bravery set up by their friends.
Despite, however, of their failure in sustaining the reputation for courage which
has been made up for them, Massachusetts is busily engaged in filling np her
quota from sueh stuff. If the war is to
be fought out by the blacks it will be of
short duration.—Metropolitan Record,
Aug. 13th.
A Definition of the Term "Copperhead."—The New York Times, in an
article on Fremont's acceptance,  says :
"It was needful not only to accept but
to give reasons. They are very vague.
Words lie so thick about them that it
is not easy to make them out. But we
gather that his acceptance is necessary
because Mr. Lincoln has violated personal liberty, and the liberty of the
press, and especially the right of asylum ; because his foreign policy has been
feeble and without principle; and because tho war has been managed with
incapacity and selfishness, with 'all the
abuses of military dictation, without its
unity of action.' These every one sees
at once, are Copperhead reasons, pure
and simple."
A "Copperhead," then, is a man who
believes in personal liberty and the liberty of the press, and the right of asylum, and who is unwilling that the nation should be disgraced by a temporizing and unprincipled foreign policy, and
ruined by a war needlessly protracted
by "incapacity and selfishness." There
.are handreds of thousands of American
citi-xens- who intend to be freemen, and
to take legal steps to depose the present
Administration and reassert the Con
stitution of the United Stated as the
fundamental law of the land.—Buffalo
Courier, a
The Confederacy on Gen. Banks.—
The Mobile Evening News, contains the
following remarkable order:
Adjutant and Inspector General's Office,
Bichmond, May 21,1864.—Special Order.
Owing to the inestimable service ren-
dered to the Confederate States by
Major-General SN. P. Banks, TJ. S. A., all
officers and men in the service of the
Confederate States are hereby prohibited from harmiDg a hair of his head, and
are especially ordered under all circumstances to allow him to escape: By
order, S. Cooper,
Adjutant and Inspector General.
The Democracy Must Triumph.
The intelligent, thoughtful man is the
one who watches most closely the progress of events. Who of that class of
persons can fail to perceive that the only hope of peace, quiet and reconciliation is in the triumph of the Democratic party? It is admitted by the ablest
statesmen of experience and judgment,
that the Union can be restored and preserved only by the Democratic party.—
All sections have confidence in its wisdom, patriotiesifi and fealty to the
Constitution. Its history proves that
it is national in sentiment and patriotic
in feeling. Its principles have received
the sanction ofthe ablest and best men
of our country. The same men who
wrote our Declaration of Independence
wrote the Democratic platform. They
are both from the plastic intellect of the
illustrious Jefferson. The Democracy
inflexibly adhere to both. Under the
mild, and liberal, and national rule of
the Democratic party, the country flourished, civil liberty was maintaind, and
no citizen was arrested and imprisoned
for expressing sentiments inimical to its
ereed. It claimed and permitted the
"largest liberty," and in times of war
did not molest the infamous traitors
who gave "aid and comfort" to a foreign
foe. The descendants of the tories of
the Revolution and ofthe Hartford Con-
ventionists, the abolitionists of our day,
have adopted a different course, and call
call all men traitors who refuse to endorse their treasonable purposes. No
American, who appreciates the freedom
of speech, thought and action, will sustain a party which is endeavoring to
deprive him of this inestimable privilege.
The Democracy, now as ever, are the
foes of tyranny and oppression, tha
friends of civil liberty, and therefore,
must triumph.—Mountain Democrat.
Acient and Modern Distances.—It ia
hard for us in modern times to adjust
out great lenses to the scale of magnitude on which this marvelous drama
was acted out. Thus, by singular good
fortune and skill, Athens early succeeded in annexing Elousis, ten miles off,
and Salamis, across an easy ferry, and
obsorbing into a sort of great township
its continental possessions of some
t iventy-four miles square. But iEgina,
that lay pleasantly in sight over the bay,
was the home of "alien enemies," and
was only held under by the iron hand.
Megara, at twety-five miles, was the
standing pet hostility of Athens; while
Sher most generous act of foreign policy
was in steadily upholding Platsea at
thirty-five miles, against the hateful
predominance of Thebes, atforty. The
eternal rivalry with Sparta reached over
an interval about as great as that which
separates New York from Philadelphia;
while the disastrous expedition to Syracuse, which bewildered the Attic imagination no less by the daring of its distance than by the splendor of its equipment, traversed a world of waters rather less than from the Chesapeake to
Port Boyal. Yet these narrow limits
were enough for the great passions of
patriotism, ambition, jealousy and international hate. The intense pride of
every Athenian citizen in his own splendid capital, this fond recalling of its gen"
erous liberties and its grand memories,
in exile, or disaster, or • times of peril
and fear, is familiar to any one who remembers the soldierly summons'of Xe-
nophon on his retreat, the touching appeal of Nicias to the forlorn hope at
Syracuse, the fond tone in Plato's dialogues, or the ringing harangue of De-
mosthenese when the shadow of Mace-
don began to darken the pass of Thermopylae
"Had Douglas lived," exclaims a Lincoln newspaper, "he would still stand
where he stood at the time of his death."
At the time of his death he ssiid that
when the war should become a war of
emancipation, he would'fly tothe assistance ofthe South. He said that in one of
the last two speecheshe ever made. Why
do not the Abolitionists resurrect his remains and send them to Fort Lafayette ?
—Chicago Times.
