BT CLDBIDOI WRUOI, Tho drum's wild roar awakes th land, lh or is cillme shrill: Ten thousand Starr banners bltie on town, and bay, and bill. Our crowded streets are throbbing with the soldiers' measured tramp. Amo-'g our bladed corn-fields gleam tho white tents of the cihd, The thunders of tho rising war hush Libor's drowsy Hum, And heavy to the ground the first dark drops of battle come. The souls of men flime up anew; the narrow Heart expands; And woman brings her patient fait!) to nerve Iter eager bands. Thank God! we are not buried yet, though lonjr in trance we lay. Think God! the father- need not blush to own their sons to-day. OL! sad and slow the weeks went by; each -held his anxious breath, Like one who traits, in helpless fear, some sorrow great as death. Ohl scarcely was there faith in God, nor any trust in man, Whi'e fast along the Southern sky the blighting shadow ran. It veiled the stars, one after one, it hushed the patriot's song; And stole from man the saored sense that ptrteth right and wrong. Then a red flash, the lightning across the darkness broke, And with a voice that shook the land the guns of Sumter spoke; Wake, sons of heroes, wake! The age of heroes dawns again; Truth takes in band ber ancient sword, and Gills her loyal men. Lot brightly e'er the breaking day shines Freedom's holy star. Peace cannot cure the sickly time All hail, the healer warl That call was heard by Plymouth rock; 'twas heard in Boston biy; Thin up the piny xtreams ol Maine spod on its ringirg way. New Hampshire's rocks, Vermont's green hills, it kindled into flame; Rhode Island felt her mighty soul bursting ber little Irame; The Empire City started u,i, her golden fetters rent, And, meteor-like, across the North the fiery message sent: Over the breezy prairie laoJa, by bluff and lane it r n, Till Kansas beat his arm, and la u. bed to find himself a man; Then on by cabin and by camp, by stony wastes ana Bands, It rang exultant down the sea where tho Eol- 1 . 1 ucn .'iiy stanas. And whercsoe'er the summons came, there rose an angrr Uln, " - As when upon a rorky coast a stormy tide comes in. Strrightway the fathers gathered voice, straightway the sons arose. With flushing cheek, as when the East with day's red current glows. Hurrah! the long despair is past; our fading hopes renew; The fog is lifting from the land, and Io, the ancient blue! We loam the secrets of the deeds the sires have handed down. To fire the youthful soldier's seal, and tend bis green renown Who lives lor country, through his arm feels all her forces flow. Tis easy to bo brava for truth, aa for th rose to blow. Oh! Law. fair lorra of Liberty. God's light is cn thy brow. Oh! Liberty, tbou soul of Law, Ood's very sen art tnou. One the clear river's sparkling flood that clothes tb bank with green; And one the line of stubborn rock that holds the water in Friends, whom we cannot think apart, seem ing each other's foe; Twin flowers upon a single stalk with equal grace that grow. Oh! lair ideas, we writ your names across our bannei 's fold ; For you tb sluggard's brain is fire; for yon, th coward bol l. Ob! daughter of the bleeding Past! Oh! hope the propbels aawl God give us Ltw and Liberty, and Liberty in Liawi Full many a heart is aching with mingled joy and pain. , For those who go so proudly forth and may not com again; i And many a bearl is aobing . for those it leaves behind, As thousand tender histories throng in upon the mind, Th old men bless the young men snd praise their bearing high; Th women in th doorway stand to wave them bravely by. O.i threw her arms about her boy snd said, "Uoodiby, my son Ood help the do th valiant deeds thy fath r would bar don." On held op to a bearded man a little child to kins, And said, "I shall not b alone, for thy lova nd this."

Experi ments with incendiary cannon balls, invented by M .

Soplember 16, 1861. j Mr, Rawskv; Quite an excitement was produced in our camp on Saturday eve ning, 7th inst., by the arrival of tiro men from Greenland, bringing the news that eighteen of the home guards had been taken prisoners by the Secessionists sta tioned at Petersburg; the particulars of which are, that the home guards, having been on duty for three or four days and nights successively, and being hungry, tired and sleepy, laid down to rest, when most of them fell asleep, and they were surrounded by secession oavalry, one being killed and eighteen capt red. lbe two men above mentioned hur ried on to the fort, and begged the as sistance of some of the forces there to help release the lost comrades. The Colonel detailed companies A and K to go to Petersburg. We left our camp about one oVock at night, and traveled about twelve wiles before sun up. when we received a lunch for our breakfast, at a farm house, and proceeded on nine miles furthjr where we halted until next day, when we resumed our march towards Petersburg, traveling over the mountains in order to elude their vigilant and watchful pickets, but when about three miles from the town our advance scouts returned as fast as their horses could carry them, pursued by some cavalry, when we quickly formed in line f battle in the woods, and as soon as they made their appearance over the brow of the hill our men opened fire on them. killing one, when the others wheeled their horses around and retreated. We followed Hum up until two miles moro were passed, when we discovered their forces drawn up in line of battle, and outnumbering us three to one. Captain Brown, who was in command, considered it impossible to make a very big fight with on'y a hundred men, and we retreated and were followed by the cavalry. We again formed in line of battle and waited their approach, but instead of charging on us they occupied a large hill about five hundred yards distant. We again opened fire oa them killing two, after which they retreated to Petersburg again. Our forces then fell back to the plaoe we hai quartered the previous night, and sent for reinforcements. On Thursday morning early, reinforcements amounting to two hundred men, including one piece of cannon, eighty cavalry, and one more company from the regiment arrived, making our forces 300 strong. About 8 o'clock Thursday morning we again started for Petersburg, and when within two miles of the town we were halted for a rest previous to engaging the enemy, which w re about five hundred strong. After half an hour we were ag tin called into ranks, and marched about one mile when it became apparent from the activity atound the secessionist's camp, that they were aware of our close proximity; and our oannon was brought to bear upon the cavalry as they were seen on top of the hill in front of Petersburg. The roar of the cannon seemed to strike terror to their hearts, and before the fourth shot was fired they were scattered in every direction. While this was going on the companies were sect out on the right and left of the road, companies A and F and the home guards through the woods on the right, and company K . on the left. In thus disposing of our foices we almost surrounded them before they were aware of of it. Considerable firing was done by the scouts in front, but very little by our forces generally. As soon the cannon ceased firing, the cavalry obarged on them up the road, and the infantry coming up double-quick on either side, we were soon in possession of the town. Not a man on our side having been hurt so far. But after the battle was . over and the victory gained, a young man by the name of Mo-C'jy, who had come on a visit to company E, and who had volunteered to go to Petersburg, was shot. He had two prisoners in bis possessioa when tired at from a cornfield. It was supposed at first that he was mortally wounded, but it is reported now thai he is in a fair way for recovering, He served in one of the first Ohio regimen s and was at the battle of Bull Run. We oaptured thirty head of horses and five wagons on their way from Rominey to Monterey, ltden with provisions, their tents and camp equipage. A great many valuables were left behind. The property oaptured amounted to about $1 1,000 or 15.000. We eeitainly suffered a great many hardships whil on this expedition. We were out one week witho it wagons, tents, and almost, without prot isions. ' But I don't think the hardships of a soldier were ever endured mora willingly than by tho two first companies that s tarted. During all the time we were gone, I never heard a murmer out of a man that went in either company. ,' We also captured six prisoners, some of whom were in tha battle of Rich M.nt tain and took the oath of allegiance at Beverly. The expedition was under the direction of Major Godman of tha Fourth Regiment. Petersburg is a village of about 600 inhabitants, and is situated on the south branch of the Pctomao river. The river divides the town about the center, the houses are 'very neat, mostly consisting of cottages, presenting the appearance of woalth, luxury and happiness. Everything was ljfl as we found it, with perhaps the exception of a few boxes of cigars and some very nice light breal aad butter. The town upon our approach was left al most without any person in it. Out of five hundred inhabitants I don't suppose there was orer five families remaining. It is reported here to-day that 2,000 se cessionists have arrived at Petersburg. If that is the case you may expect to hear of an attack on Fort Pendleton before long. Yours, COMMA. BY TELEGRAPH. Kansas Gilt, Sept. 17. Considerable excitement was created here on Saturday, the 14th, by the appearance of the Confederate scoutB oo the opposite bank of the river. A comptny of twenty mounted men were sent over from this place in the morning, who discovered a Rebel camp of from 200 to 300 men, some six miles dis tant from thd river. An additional force was detailed in the afternoon, who killed seven of the Robels and took six prisoners, with the same number ot horses, and destroyed their barracks. Only one of the federal troops was wounded. Yesterday a largre foroe of rebels, bud posed to be a part of the band recently encamped in Kt. Joseph, made their appearance four miles bolow on the opposite shore, and attempted to cross the river in an old fl it-boat, sending a part of their force to attract the attention of the federals by firing into this city and Wyandotte. They were, however, repulsed, and the boats sunk. It is believed tbey succeeded in crossing at the Sibley Ferry, 15 miles below, which they have posse -sion of. Last evening the city was alive with skirmishes of both pariies. Several shots were heard but no damage done. Ibonton, Mo. Sept. 18. A skirmish occurred on Thursday at Black River, 12 or 15 miles South-west from here, be tween three eompanies of Indiana eavalry, under Major Govitt, and a body of secessionists under the notorious Bjn Talbot, in which five of the rebels were killed and four taken prisoners, and thirty-three horses and a quantity of arms captured. The balance scattere 1 in all directions, and being familiar v. iib the country they eluded pursuit. ITiw York, Sept. 19. This evenint'j comercial says, we think. We have suffi cient authority Tor saying that, s fares a movement of the National troops is concerned ; mere is no probability oi an engagement within thirty days. Ol course, ifj attacked, thore will be a general and severe battle. Oar troops are well prepared to meet any number the enemy may bring, but for perfecting the arrangements for the onward movement, it is deemed best to accomplish certain things which may not be effectually done in less than thirty days. These matters have no ra'erence, we believe, to the raising of mors men, the Government bsing satis fbii that it has all that it will require. JxrrKRSOK Cm, Sept. 19' On Monday afternoon Gen. Price sent word to Col. Mulligan, at Lexington, demanding a surrender. Col. Mulligan's reply was, "Go to hell." An attack was immediately made by first opening v,ith artillery and making an advance under its cover oa the town, rnce was repulsed with heavy loss. Lane with an estimated force of five thousand Kansas troops, is reported to be within forty miles of Lexington, rapidly advancing to reinforce Col. Mulligan. Other Federal troops are rapidly eon-verging from St. Joseph and other points to reinforce Col. Mulligan. The 18th, 22d, 24th and 26th Indiana regiments hare gone by steamer to Lexington.
