KISS IX A TILIXDEK ST0KJL I rambled out on a suinnier day, With Sofic loved most dearly, Vlio needed hut an angels. wings To ho an angel really, A storm came tin, the rain came thncn And we a tree went under : And most terrific grew the storm, j and loudly roared the thunder. ' I At length there came a stunning peal, And then a flash of lightning, With terror to a maiden's heart, 31 y fair companion fright'ning. 1 ler eyes closed, her lips khxul; She did not seem to wonder, iSeeausc, no doubt, the smack was riot So noisy as the thunder. j The storm rolled by, the years rolled on, i And Snlic dear T married, j . And we oft speak of that wild storm I When 'neath a tree we tarried. J And of the storms of life, whitTi ne'er j Shall rend our hearts asunder, j Nor drown the meni'ry of that kiss, i When Solio feared the thunder. i From lite Fourth Ohio. Cam i' Ni:.ut Fai.moi.tii. Ya.. ) February, I'.'th, ISO:!. )' Eu. liKI'rm.li'AX: Having a leisure moment, I thought I would drop you a line, asking you to give publicity through the columns of your valuable paper, to a j few ';i(fim.s'' which relate more particu- j larly to the appointments md promotions i of some of your fellow citizens. i: With our new commander, !en. Hooker, the boys are delighted; for in him they recognize a true soldier, a man of undaunted courage, strict integrity, and a will that knows no doubting. The word foil was long since stricken from his vocabulary, lie is here known by the rough cognomen of "lighting Joe." With such i leader then, new hopes and fixed pui-poses have sprung up and took deep root in the ranks of the Army of the Potomac; and I confidently believe when the "spring time comes," gentle reader, this army will be found in good shape, ready for ony emergency. Though the 4th Ohio mi Acred severely in the late battle of Fredericksburg, those who survived arc ready iind willing to follow where duty leads the !! Col, John S. Mason, who took a conspicuous part in the battle of Fredericks-burg, as commandant of the brigade af-ier Gen. Kimball was wounded has been 'promoted to Brigadier General. No man in the service is more deserving. At Winchester, as Chief of Artillery, lie done 'much to aid in the brilliant success which attended kour efforts on that occasion. And yet, Gen. Shields, in noticing the fact, passed it over (unintentionally no doubt) with the simple remark that much credit was due the artillery, whom lie had placed "under thecharge of an tipcrlrnrcJ officer." The Fourth have lost a valuable ofllccr in Tiis promotion; yet if lie remains in his present position, commandant of the Urigado, -He will be near enough to keep . -faithful eye over tha Fourth and attend to the lirigado iu tho bargain. . Next 1 come to notice a ppecimen of Immunity, which I wonder Parnuin has not got holt1 of long ugr; for certainly he is one of.the seven wonder.) of the age Lieut. Israel Underwood. He is the first, hut, aud only man in all my acquaintance who ever nuscd (and sent tnek with proper dignity, of course) a Captain's commission, especially w:hcn that was a promotion! Strange as it may appear, it is nevertheless true, ,hat"Isracl," when the commission of Captain vi Co. 13, was handed him, looked ut it a moment, big drops' of sweat Mood like kernels of corn on his brow, then us if some outrage had been perpetrated at his expense, burst out with an exclamation something like this:'-la-vid Tod is a very good man, be appreciates his friends, and is anxious to discharge his duty impartially; but, great heavens, he has made a sad mistake this time," and despite the importunities of his friends, he very gracefully enclosed the rnmuiisdnii in an envelope ami fur-warded it "Intel:' to the Governor, with his compliments. .Now your readers will hardly understand why ho acted thus, for I assure vou his most intimate friends were unable to fathom the mystery. Put to one who has watched him, and who knows the workings of his brain as well,'is I think 1 do, it was not so much a mystery. I call it an excrebe of good sense; and why'' licrauso hu is by nature peculiarly adapted to the Quartermaster's department; he was (lieu Quartermaster of the regiment, doing more good than he could iu any other rapacity, lie had assurance within himself that he, like many of our christian brethren who lead and take care of tho thick, was called to attend to the particular duty for which the God of Nature had fitted him; and to place him out of his element, would be as embarrassing to him, as it would be ' to a Quaker to be drawn up iu "battle array" with bristling bayonets ami polished steel blades. It is well known here that he was cut out for a (JuartermasttT, and although Lieut. Lip-pitt was as good a Quartermaster as ever tilled the oilice, and had the good will of all, both nlhccrs and men many felt disposed to censure Lieut. U. for resigning and accepting of a commission to recruit, (not only his own health, which was very much impaired) for the Hegimont. To show that all was right on the part of 'Israel," it is only necessary to mention the fact, that as soon as Lt. L. went home sick, be was appointed acting (j. M., which oilice he filled until Captain Collins was temporarily called away, when nothing would answer the commandant of the Brigade, Gen. Kimball, but that he must act as Brigade Commissary, which he did until the 1st of Pecemlier last, when Captain Collins returned to duly. But the moment the death of Lieutenant Lip-pitt was announced in camp, which was sad news for ail. Lt. Underwood was pointed to as the permanent Quartermaster of the liniment; on the first of the pros-cut year he resumed his pint. :;: .Many may think strange that, a "Pehi-ware man'' was made Captain of Company l. To a man coiiwr.sani. with iho history or atiairs iu the army, (Iiis-Iimiks tar more reasonable than to an outsider. Lieut, l uderwood gracefully declined the honor due lii in; the lot foil on Lt. Jones, of IV la-ware, he being the ranking lit. lie is all that can be required, and J have my doubts whether the buy of company ii. will be abbs to retain him long, because of his fitness for a position several grades higher. In a word, he is model unassuming, yet firm and resolute in all he undertakes; asid this is what will prove his great suecc.'S. On assuming command id' company B, he promoted from the ranks !ryant Murphy and .lohu ('uiiiey. as Corporals Sergeants George ilrophy and John .M. I'llii-lap. were from the rcromiucii-lation ol'Col. Mason, for meritorious ,-ervices at tho battle of Fredericksburg, promoted from Sergeants to 1st and Jtl Lieutenants, a position they can and will fill with credit to themselves and to the satisfaction of all concerned. :;: J f 1 was hi express what I know of the men, 1 could not but say that the promotion was deserved, they are prompt, active, and ready at a moments warning, to do a soldiers duty, Long ere this you have learned that Major Carpenter, is the commandant of the 4th Ohio. lam not finuilinr!; acquainted with liim, therefore I cannot speak of him only as I hear from officers under his t inland, lie is then, a "red tape man,'' iu every particular essential to the discharge of his duty; not that h takes on himself any honor he may have won at the battle of Fredericksburg, after the fall of Lt. Col. Codmali, not that he considers himself any better than "any other man," but for the reason, be believes the llegulations of the army were printed for a purpose, and that it is his duty as an officer, to see that they are enforced, to sec them carried out as fir as lie can. without compromising the health and life of those whom ho should protect. A large portion of tho 4th Ohio, are still at Camp Ohio, a convalescent camp ner Washington, under the charge of Surgeon McAhee. I learn that at least two hundred will soon be ready for active service. So then I can s.-jy that tho 4th Ohio, with all herhnishaps, will be able to go into the Spring campaign, with more men than she clcscd up with after tho light at Fredericksburg. Iu justice to all concerned, I must say that the Hospital here, is in good' hands. When I say this, 1 mean it, 1'or I speak from experience, having been on the Victor's hands a week or more myself. It is in charge of J)r. T. W. Morrison. Asst. Surgeon, who loses whole nights of sleep, lest hie patients may sutler, ami I must not forget to mention Mr. Charles Kuapp, Company If, 4th (). X. I., acting Hospital steward, who would be "very much distres'd in his dreams," if lw thought my inmates of the llo.-piial was sufiering. Xow Mr. Editor. I guess you w ill think this n "long song for the money," yet I hope you will call out what relates toyour nnighhors, and '.'put in print," for the benefit of them who read. IXl'L'X.

The Governor was very happy iu his re-, ! marks, and was loudly midmost cnthusi-i astically cheered. We give below the ma-I terial portions of his speech: Governor Toil lir.-t. expressed his grati-I tilde at being so kindly received ami allu-I ded to his efforts iu the administration of i Slate iili'airs and in Mist'iiiiiii'j: the National ! Governments iu the contest in the field i with the slave power of tho South. An intimation from the gallant soldiers in the : field that, they would like a response to their efforts from home, was enough to induce him to leave his duties for the hour laud participate iu this Convention. After lallu-'.ing to the justice of the cause in which we are engaged that oftliJ independence of the "Confederacy" is acknowledged, away goes all cll'ort at self-government he said: Jicferenee has bweii made here, my friends, t.i the.

If any one man iu Ohio has a right to speak for the IVmocratic party iu Ohio, the humble individual that addresses you has that right Laughter and applause J. speak however, for that good old IVmocratic party, cheers for the party id' which Jackson was the acknowledged head, cheers and not fur thia bustard Democratic party of theso days, laughter and applause whoso members have taken to themselves the name of Democracy, made honorable by better men than they are.

I was chairman of its little township meetings, cheers I was honored with invitations to go out and speak to tho people on the great questions of tho titty; I was honored by an appointment as a committee to go out to collect funds to pay expenses, laughter ami cheers I was finally, to clap tho climax, honored by the chairmanship of the last, National Democratic Convention, which was held at llaliimori!. No man, then 1 say, up to IStil, stood higher, or had a riirht to stand higher in the Detno- jcratic party than the humble individ-! nal now addressing you. laughter and applause i 1 said i had something to do with lixine; the time when this rebellion should break out. 1 was honored by I lie Northeastern district of (he State the Joshua 11.

I their met Yancey, the loader of the rebellion. I'hey said to us emphatically, that they would remain in ihe Union only on two conditions. These condition', said Air, Yancey iu answer to a question from me, are "1 That you acknowledge that the Constitution of the United States of itself, extends Slavery over the Territories ofthe United States, there to remain by constitutional provision, uulil the States come into fhe Union. "2 The other is that you nominate either Jell' Davis or John C Drccin-ridgc for President ot tho United States." Said I to Mr Yancey, ''I can go neither. The hard yeomanry of Ohio who go out to their future homes, must have a voico in lixing tho domestic institutions of the Territory-And my candidate for tho Presidency, so far as my video is concerned, is Stephen A. Douglas." Prolonged applause"Well," said he, "wo will secede, and thus inaugurate a Government of tho seven cotton States." I said in substance what my brother for he is a swearing man would have said had ho been there; "'.Secede and bed d." Laughter and rapturous applause Yell, they seceded. Now, 1 have heard the name of the Enquirer whispered out here, laughter and applause t take it that you mean the Cincinnati Enquirer, owned and conducted by James J Earan and ouo Washington McLean, (hisses and cries of ;-yes, yes',) That Cincinnati Enqnirerwas represented at that Convention, and that was in 1800 only two or three years back and most cordially endorsed the position that I and others from Ohio took. .That was the Enquirer then what tho Cincinnati Enquirer is now, I know only from your hisses, (cheers and hisses) I doiit soil my lingers with it.

I am aware that influences of tho most discouraging and treasonable character. wclhValculated and designed to render you dissatisfied, have recently been brought to bear upon some of you by professed friends. Newspapers, containing treasonable articles, artfully falsifying' the public sentiment at your homes, have been circulated in your Camps. Intriguing political tricksters, demagogues, and time-servers,' whose corrupt deeds are but a faint reflex of their more corrupt hearts, seem determined to drive our people on to anarchy and destruction. They have hoped, by magnifying the reverses of our arms, basely misrepresenting the conduct and slandering the character of our soldiers in the field, and boldly denouncing the acts ofthe constituted authorities of the (iovernment as unconditional usurpations, to produce great demoralization in the army, and thereby reap their political reward, weaken the cause we have espoused, and aid those arch traitors of tho South to dismember our mighty liepublic nnd trail iu the dust the emblem of our National unity, greatness aud glory. Let mo remind you, my countrymen, that we arc Soldiers of the Vkdkkai Union, armed for the preservation of the Fedku.vl Constitution and the maintenance of its Laws and Authority.

We give below an admirable letter from a soldier in the Slst Ohio.

'Thank tied, all .slaveholders aiu liot'lo be recorded in this category; for I have met men in Kentucky, owning slaves, who are better, and who say, "tiive us our country, and it's nil right." And some of the best soldiers in the iestcrn I army are Kentuckiaiis, fighting for the j country, and their tillicers are principally owners of slaves; and they are the very men who denounce the policy now being inaugurated by that infernal traitor Vallau-dighain. And if my old friend Sam Cox. coincides with him in his views. 1 denounce him with the same vehemence. I don't believe that the intelligent people of r'raiiklin county are willing to have the men withdrawn, who have whipped their enemies in every encounter that we hav had any chance in, ami will do it over again. What! are my brothers in arms, some, college bred scholars, better rai.ed. who have been carrying knapsacks and rilles with the Flag ofthe country floating over them in almost every encounter, to get down on our knees, niul go and beg pardon for defending our country against a pack of ignorant men,, whose equals in ignorance you might in vain search for in any civilized country, I mean the unfortunate poor white men in the rebel rank'-. And, Lord, but I have lic.in them, when prisoners of war, invoking heaven's direst curses on their cruel musters! , And win! would be your condition if ibe.-o musters were you? v.hit h is just pit cisely what M r. Vallaudigham's policy would bring you to. Was there ever, in the history of any nation, a war but what one party or the other has sued for peace? but here we have a few politicians, who have drawn their thousands from their country's treasury under the fair name of Pcmoeracy, selling or endeavoring to sell their constittuent liberty under the fair pretense of peace. When the infernal rebels call for peace, then hope we will all listen with patience to what they have to .siy. l'e.ice is easily obtainoil, if they will lay down their arms and c;o home and become good citizens of the United States.

Another Shot From Ihe Army. The Chicago Tribune says that the soldiers of Illinois and Indiana are boiling owr with rage and iudigiMlinn ul dm di.-iiuioii peace proposals of the Copperheads in the Legislatures of those Stales. An ollicer of a cavalry regiment writes, saying. lur regiment will uliiiiiuoitsly 'agree to extend their term of enlistment "twelve until I lis, for the privilege of being "sent to Illinois one month to help cut the "throats of the infernal Copperheads who "are opening a lire in tho rear ol us, J ho ' Democrats in our regiment arc even mad "del- ut lliein than the liepublieiiiis." At a meeting held iu .Jackson, Tennessee, on the oth of February, of the ollieers of the (ilid Illinois liilaiitiy. a number of resolutions were adopted respecting tho stat j ofthe country; among them were iho two following scorchers:'' y.V.o.'' il. That we denounce the wickedness and baseneis of those citizens of tha North who, by disloyal speeches or otherwise, imparts cotilidcnce ami hope to rebels in arms against their government, who encourage 1'uioii soldiers to desert, nnd threaten armed resistance to their recovery, mid who by letters, speeches or acts, endeavor to promote disaffection in the army, the last hope of the nation; that wo appeal to our fathers, our brothers, and our friends at home to discountenance, oppose and put down those ba.se aud infamous wretches, who. while breathing tho free air of Illinois, sympathize with treason, and denounce the government which has given them peace and security with liberty from their childhood, flow struggling almost in a death agony, and who, from motives of ambition, or for their own personel aggrandizement or advantage, would lend their aid, however indirectly, to reduce Illinois to the unhappy situation of these rebel Southern States, the seat of blighting and desolating war. .' ?(rrt(t That wc abjure all partizan issues, prejudices and strife; that wo arc for our government, and the flag of our fathers, first, last and all the time, before a ad above all institutions, organizations and sv.-leins, and against all enemies and oppo-sers whatsoever; that we will lend our support to the government in the prosecution of this war until its power is known and felt throughout the whole world, and tJie Star-Spangled lianticr waves again over every foot of American soil. That's the right talk, I Joys! Let 'em rij It is death to the copperheads ' I The genuine Democrats are all right, in the army and at home. It's the Copperheads only that "gnaw the file," Fashion kills more women than toil or sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a greater trangressiou of the law of woman's imtore greater injury to her physical mental constitution, that! fire hardship of poverty nml neglect. The slave woman at her task will live and grow old and see two or three generations of her mistresses fade and pass away. The vash-v,o!nn. with scarce a ray of hope to cheer her will live to see her fashionable sisters all die round her. The kitchen maid is hearty and stronger w hen her lady has to lie nursed like a sick baby. It is a sad truth that fashion pampered wiy.noi are almost worthless for all the great ends of human life. They have but little force of character; they have still less power of moral will, and quite as little physical energy. They live for no great purpose in life; they ecoiMplb;h no worthy ends. 'They are only doll forms "iu the bauds of milliners and servants to he dressed and fed to order. They dress nobody; they feed nobody, they set no examples of virtue and womanly life. If they rear children, servants, and nurses do all, save, conceive and give them birth. And when reared what are they? What do they ever amount to, but weaker scions ofthe old stock?
