Baptist Church, O care for them tenderly, gently, for know Thai the tears of the North for her slaughtered sons flow; Bring them back, bring them back, let them sleep 'nenth the sod Where Freedom first poured her libation to God Bring them back, bring them back to the loved ones who weep, Let the home of their childhood their dear ashes keep, We wait for their coming to honor our dead. Bring them back, bring them back, ere the life-look be fled. Bring them back, bring them back, that the trumpets may wad, And our death dirge float out on the sweet summer gale-Bring them back, bring them back, let our muffled drums beat, The death volley rattle, the minute gun speak. Bring them back, bring them back, that the flag ol the free May float half mast high o'er the land and the sea Bring them back, bring them back, ere the Spring flowers bloom, That our soldiers may sleep in their world hallowed tomb. Bring them back, brine; them back, that the mother may weep O'er the face that she gazed on, a babe in its sleep. Bring them back, bring them back, that the father may see Tho child wha ouco climbed a boy on his knee. Bring them back, bring them back, as our fathers once wept O'er the dead who at Concord and Lexington slept Wo sorrow, yet smile, for the clouds break away, And the night of angtiibh gives placo to the day Though the forms of raiityrs must rest 'ncath the sod, Their ppirits abide with patriot's, God, i et treat the clay tenderly touch it w ith care tiring them back, bnn,' them back, for they cannot sleep there.

In these 'piping times of war," says the Scienlifio American:, wo sea a grout deal in print and hear much nonsense talked about the Enfield ami Minnie rifles It is most generally supposed that the Enfield and Minnie are peouliar riflus, the one trench and the other English, both invented by men whose names have been given to those firearms. The Enfield de rives its name from the place whoro it is made, namely, the p-overnmont armory, at Enfield, England, and it is in most respects like the Amirican Army rifle, mado at UpringheU, Miss. The barrel of it is formed of the best charcokl iron; its length is 39 inches, bore .680 of an inch; it has three grooves, 1-16 ol an inch wide and fifJOth of an incbJoep The pitch of the grooves is 0 feet bodi es. A hollow conio il ball, with a plu of boxwood plnced in the bnst, i used in this rifle. A graduated back sight, set for ranges from 230 to 1,000 yards, is bxed on all H,nhelds. The Minnie rifle derives its name from Lieut. Minnie, of the French Infantry, who brst applied the hollow expwhn bu let to the army rifle, and by w'.oso exertions it was first brought into actual use. the trench rifles have four grooves, .02758 inches in width, ,00788 in depth and one turn in 6 feet. The bullet is hoi. lov and conical, and weighs 434 graing; no wedge is now us.'d. Formerly, elevating sights" wore fixed on all the trench army rifles, but these have been dispensed with so as to render the arms more simple. The back sight of the rifle elevated .78 of an inch above the barrel. A French soldier of the line aims at the waistband of the foe, and with hi fix :d rillj sight ho is sure to s'.riks him within 280 yards distant. When filing at a greater distance, he uses his thumb nail for a back sight, by placing it across the b rrel, and by long practice in judging of distances by the eye, h obtains wonderful precision in his aim. The special corps of Chasseurs and Ziu&ves have elevating Bights on their rifles, Lieutenant Carttor. We received a call thi morning from Lieut. Canter, ju t from the Sabine, now lying in the Pensacola ofB.ig, ready to act in concert with For'. Pickoiu.

Ha says we may daily look for the report of a battle at Pensnxola, for on last Monday, our ships of war and Fort PicVeus were to make a demonstration on the gathered rebels on the shore. Gen. Bragg has about 7,00!) troops, but the Federal powers are determined to take the town, andjLieut. Cart-ter is confident that it will be done with a Bbout. Mr. Cartter is ordered to report himself at Washington, but takes Cleveland in his way, to pay his respects under the paternal roof to Ilin, D. K. Cartter aid family. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Col. Ormsby, of Vevay, Ind-, hands us the following extract from a letter received from n friend in Pittsburg: An engineer came up here from New Orleans ind relates the following; A good many Southern lire -eaters were on the boat, and while coming up the Mississippi they boasted that the Southern man could easily whip six Northerners. When the bo it reaohsd Cairo, they came to the comolusive tbat three of those fierce Illinois chaps would be enough at one time. Finally, while coming by rail through Indiana, the cars passed an encampment, where the Hoosiers, about six feat three in hight, were building common board tents. These men would reach down and with ease shoul ler a bund e of boards, (about as much as a jackass cju'd carry,) and th n tret off with them. The engineer quietly touched one of the southerners on the shoulder and asked, "What do you think now?" He replied, "I would hate to be the fellow to attack one jf them." Consionsd to Old Abb Tnere passed through this city yesterday, in tho care of the Adams Express Cimpany, an emissary of Lincoln's, who had been forced to leave Augusta, Ga. Deeming his presence offensive, the good people of that patriotic city shaved one-hall of the rascal's head," labellod him lo Old Abe, Washington, D. C, and then paid the Express Compiny to transport him through. The delicate toasori.il operation which had been performed gave the poor creature a strikingly novel appearance, tbat attracted universal attention. He says he has seen enough of "Dixie. " Petersburg (Va.; HfXpresa. A correspondent of the Illinois State Journal writing from Cairo, gives tha following: Among the passengers are rainy southern men who are seeking saloty lor themsolves and families from th tyranny ol the Kubols and Traitors who now reign in that UjJ lor saken region. Ona of tha passengers on this boat (tha Mjinphis) inform) ma, that it i well understood in New Orleans, that the bloodless "victory at Fort Sumter, was all gtmmon." He says, "Bkauuioabd lost oveh 1,100 men!" Can this ba true? A worthy sister of Gjv. Magoffin has sent to the Luislatura a petition for the Union signed by eight bundrad Udias of Mercer county.

The New York Tribune says; Twenty-five thousand Minnie rifles have been purchas ed in Canada for the United States Government, and more ean be obtained, it is aid. Of course, the United States can obtain, for cash, every spare Minnie rifle in Canada. About 40,000 can be spared in all, we are informed. A Njw Way to Pay Old D jbta. The followiug is copied from a letter addrcssod t a business firm in Ntfw York. It explains itself, and shows the) m inner in which the Southern Confederacy raises money: Mobile, April it, 1861. Messrs' -" Co., New York: Gentlemen; I called at tho Mobila Bank to-day to take up my notj for $674 04. Mr. Green the cashier, said it was not there. So I took it on mysolf to invest the amount in Confederacy bonds, and will deposit tho;n in the bunk, subject to your order. Tncse binds draw eight per cent, interest, and will always sell at a premium, as their payment is predicated on the export duties on cotton. I hope this arrangement will be satis tory as I am sure you are willing to invest something to help us to whip the Black Republicans, whose avaricious nnd grasping policy has ban the cause of breaking up this once happy Union and our trade and com.nercc-, and sent us abroad for our goods. . Shall I invest the balanoo I owe you in same way ? The Soorot of Secession. There is a s-cret spring to this Secession movomcnt in all the Sm'.hern States that the pcple have nit considered, or thought about. Merchants, Railroads, and others largely indebted to the North, are most clamorous for Secession. The Statos that first went out of tho Union, had in view the ridding themselves of their just debts, and to consummate the villainy they put the old Mississippi Bepudiator at the hea l of their G ivern iient. Whon ever a Merchant is lound largely indebted to the North, and wherever the sons of Bankers are found, they are throwing up their hats for Jeff Davis. Many men of a very different character are Secessionists, many who have woalth and capital, but look out the bankrup's, an 1 tha nun indebted to tho North beyond their ability to pay, and they are ail f-ir goin r out of the Union. Parson B ownlow. Tho Fir3t Fruits of Secession. Tile CumberhnJ, M try in J, Telegraph Bays: We are gathering the first fruits of Se cession. Oan any man look at them without a feeling of iu.ligna ioa at those sub verters ol our (jovernment, who for their own selfish ends have destroyed our peace and happiness? Six months ago our por- ons and property were) safe, and now we are compelled tu arm in self defence, while privation and want, in nil probability, may causo our country to swarm with bands of desperato men, rendered lawless by the destitution of their families The laborer is out of employ n 'nt, the mer chant sits idle in his counting room, our mining interests are completely prostrated, and in a short time our railroal may be compelled to suspend its operations and our canal become useless. Who has brought this ruin UDon us ? Not the Gor-crnment of the United States, but those who have endeavored to subvert that Oovernraont. Upon them rests the fearful responsibilits of the slaugh-er, ruin and devastation tbat may ensue. Let the people hold them in rigid reckoning Circular, IlEAB QtJABTBRS 0. MiLITIA & Vol.. M.

B. Carrinoton, Adjutant General. The Secession Flao Sritccn. Thj Secession ft ig no longer w ives nt the corner of Eifth and Pine s'rje s. It was removed Monday evening nt the instance of Gen. Harney U. S. A. Wd trust that the f.-iends of that fl ig will recover their proper 'ove for and confidence in the good old flag of the country a flag which stands for the only principle on which a free Government is possible, which is that the people of the country can safely bo truited to govern the country. The secession flag denies this, while the stars and stripes affirm it. Hurrah for the "stars and stripes. St. Louis Demo ctat, 15. h. The fear of famine constantly haunts the rebels. The Georgia papers are calling upon the planters in the state to plow up thoir crop of cotton and plant the same land in corn. A Macon paper say:: "A short crop or a failure may be our ruin as a people , for we can not starve and fight. A scanty com crop is far more to be dread d than anything our enemy can do to in jure us. lho planter who is insanely neg- lec ing his corn orop for cotton now, is unwillingly fighting the battle of Lincoln." The squadron, in accordance with in structions, had put a stop to the landing of vessels from Mobile and New Orleans with supplies for the rebel army, being a complete blockade. It appears the rebel troops have been almost wholly supplied with provisions from these two porta. The stopping of tl ese supplies at t lis time will, it is thought, operate most disastrously to the troops, as they were but poorly supplied before. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. Wa-iiinqton, Miy 15. The Times' speoial says Secretary Cameron ha ten dered to Simeon Draper a Coloneloy of a new regiment of dragoons. Mr. D holds the proposition open for future consideration. The Ilcnil l's Washington correspond enco says that it is understood that the rebel States have made proffers of pur chase of English and other European vessels, but our Government has notified the Diplom'.io Corps thut no such purchase ill be respected, no matter what flag that covers them." The language used on this occasion was unequivocal and decided. It has also notified tho Diplomatic Corps if any Commissioner from the rebel States be received by any European power, this Government wiil not hesitate to declare an iustnnt breach of all diplomatic rtla tions with said offending power, and not miy recall the M nister of the United btatcs, but dismiss from Washington the Minister of said power. It was remark ed that the entire diplomatic body was present at the Military Soiree of the Sec retary of State last night. The Times' correspondent says all work upon tho Capitol was suspended today by the commissioner of public buildings.A messeng-ir was sent tj the Comman der of the Pawnee, J mw off Alexandria with gnn3 pointed at tho town, and it is understood the Sccjssi.mflig now fljating over that cwy will soon come down. A schooner was seizid to day at B il. timore having on board two boxis ofMin ie Rifles an I three boxas of ammunition. Some of the Baltimore Police have been detected taking boxes of Minnie Muskets from a waiehouse with the evident purpose of necreting them from the Government.
