CBMEN '1' ROOFING.
THIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience of years has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing in use.
We call attention to the following facts :
lst-It is fire and water proof.
2d—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d—It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4th—Thc cost is only about One-Half that
of Tin, and it is twice as durable.
It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing the shingles, which is a
great desideratum to parties who do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru-
ined, while repairs are being made.
Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily rc-
paired with Gutta Percha Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof
for many years.
Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

THE EARLY DEAD.
The nation mourns her dead-—
The gallant and the brave—-
Who in the bloom of manhood’s dawn
'Have died, their land to save.
N cw England il'om her looms
Her busy hands has stayed,
And sadly, weeping, on her heights
In sackcloth sits arrayed.
The blooming prairied West,
With harp of myriad strings,
By sighing zephyrs gently swept, ,
Her deep affliction sings. ’
The smitten Empire State,
And all her sister train,
Take up the piteous wail of woe
And send it back again.
Atlantic deeply groans
And lashes in his rage—
The land whence Death has come to blast
Youth, before ripened age.
Pacific‘s gentle tide
Purpled by setting sun——
Chants soft their requiem, whose course
Is so untimely rnn,
Weep we the early dead—
And History’s truthful pen
Unite with poet’s lyric, to praise
These brave but fated men.

John Pierpont’s Last Poem.
—J. G. D.
We have received the following patriotic lyric for
publication from its author, Rev. John Pierpont, It
proves that the unwearied fire of genius still glows,
undimmed by age, in the soul of an honored Ameri-
can poet, whose first production was published half
a century ago. Mr. _Pierpont is seventy-six years
old, and his poem has “the "spirit of "76." As re.
gards mere age, however, time practices on us a de-
ception in regard to him, for his form seems to grow
more erect, his gait more vigorous, his mind more
vivid and creative, as he advances in years:
“E Pluribus Unum.”
The harp of the minstrel with melody rings
When the muses have taught- him to touch and to
tune it;
But though it may haven full octave of strings,
To both maker and minstrel the harp is a unit.
80 the power that creates
Our Republic of States,
Into harmony brings them at different dates ;
And the thirteen or thirty, the Union once done,
Are “L'Pluribus Unum“-—of many made one.
The science that weighs in her balance the spheres,
And watched them since first the Chaldean began it,
Now and then. as she counts them and measures
their years,
Brings into our system and names a new planet.
Yet the old and new stars—
Venus, Neptune, and Mars,
As they drive round the sun their invisible cars,
Whether faster or slower their races they run,
Are “EPluribus Unum”—of many made one.
Of that system of spheres, should but one fly the
track,
Or with others for a general dispersion,
By thigriat central orb they would all be brought
ac ,
And held, each in her place, by. wholesome coer-
clon.
Should one daughter of light
Be indulged in her flight,
They would all be engulfed by old Chaoa and Night;
80 must none of our sisters be suffered to run,
For, “E Pluribus Unum"—we all go if one. A
Let the demon of discord our melody mar,
0r Treason‘s red hand read our Union asunder,
Break one string from our harp, or extinguish one
star,
The whole system’s ablaze with Lightning and
thunder.
Let the discord be hushed!
Let the traitors be crushed!
Though “Legion” their name, all with victory
flushed!
For aye must our motto stand, fronting the sun:
“E Pluribus Unum”—though many we’re ONE.

The Eagle Bride.
BY GENOA GREY.
The Alpine roses were in blossom all over
the lowering hills of the glittering Glam-
iscli. The chamois were feeding beside them
on the brows of a hundred cliffs. ‘
In the little valley of the Linth, three
thousand feet above the level of the sea,
lived the peasant Gutknecht, a hunter of
chamois, with Ulrich, his son, and his young
daughter, Katherli.
Over the deep ravine, or chasm as it may
he more properly termed, dwelt Max Burkli,
with his son Hans, who was alad of mighty
stature; but whose foot was as sure as that
of the mountain bird. As a boy Hans Bil!"
kli had laughed at the avalanches, o.- caught
young eagles for playthings,
Wilhelmine, the lurk of the home of the
Eulkli‘s had lain under the Alpine snows
and the Alpine roses for two long, shadowy
summers. She was the betrothed of Ulrich
One day she climbed the glowing snow—hills
in search of the timid geulihu that swings
itself on rugged olifih higher than the feet of
Wilhelmina ought ever to have ventured.—
That was a dangerous day—a day in which
the mild air of spring was softening the
snows, and loosening the little olifl‘s; alas
that was a dangerous day. How could the
love that was ever so vigilant have been so
reckless then ?
Onward and upward climbed the lovers.
The soul of the maiden went up nearer
Heaven with every footfall. In one hand
she held a bunch of wild flowers and wild
Alpine geraniums, and out) little pale gem
lion-01.19 only.
“Conic. dearest. let us return,“ said Ulrich.
“You are weary; the roses are faded on
your pretty cheeks, my blrc .”
“See there, Ulrich,” said the maiden.—
“Thero is a bright blue gentian on the rock
above us—it is as blue as the skies beyond,
and the little Katherli must have it for her
flower-book. Come, let us get it, Ulrich;
then we will go home.”
The eagle looked down from, his cyriemnd
a shadow passed over the sun in the heavens.
The BEDS of the house of Burkli would sing
no more beside the blossoming of earthly
roses. She held the heaven-blue gentian in
one hand; the other was clasped in that of
her lover. And the eagle looked down from
his eyrie. '
Alas, for the p09}: More Burkli, and the
prosperoiigpggsont Gutknechtfor the daugh-
gorw'ould never more be heard within the
home-walls of one, and the wing of the an-
gel of sorrow was overshadowing the other.
In the deep valley under the cliff they
found the lovers. A ray of life still flickerw
ed in the bosom of Ulrich, but the lamp had
gone out from the heart of the minded
They buried her in the cleft of" the rock,
where nature had hewn a sepulehre. ‘ The
higher :4;- ehamois, together with his moun-
tain neighbors—carvers of wood and hunters
of ibex—fasteucd a great stone at the en-
trance to this sweet-scented cave, whose
coffin, and the gentian blossomed above her.
Ulrich never climbed the wild mountains
any more; he was tlienccforward unable to
move about much; buthe would sit by the
dark door that shut him out from the face of
his beloved, through all the long, soft sum-
mer hours; and when the voices of winds
swept over the sepulchre, or the breeze tink-
led the blue bell of the gentian, the music of
the voice of his beloved arose in his soul,
above the sound of their swinging,and above
' the melody of winds, saying, “Then we will
go home.” She was at home already, he
would go there to meet her by and by.
So Ulrich worked on, skillfully carving all
curious things in dainty wood; and the lit-
tle Katherli began to dream her beautiful
young dream of love.
“Hans Burkli is a Winsome lad, my Kath-
erli," quoth peasant Gutknecht; “but the
lad is crazy to think of marrying thee, thou
chicken. Thou art good for nothing save to
eat honey and knit the family stockings. I
should not have been more astonished if the
boy had asked me for the kitten playing with
thy ball of yarn, than I was when he asked
me for thee.”
But Katherli pouted, Peasant Gutknecht
smoked his meerschaum, and laughed a lit-
tle contented and amused kind of chuckle.
Katherli covered her face with her apron.
“What is the matter with it '2” questioned
the proprietor of the meerschaum.
“I want to marry Hans.”
Peasant Gutknecht emptied the ashes from
the mecrschaum, and looked out of the win-
dow. Hans Burkli was approaching the
house with Ulrich leaning upon his strong
shoulder. The peasant sighed.
“He is a clever lad, Katherli, but thou art
not much better than a baby; What can the
boy be thinking of- to want such a dumpling
for a wife ?”
“I am as old as my mother was when she
married you. If she was alive she would be
good to me, she always was.”
Here Katherli sobbed.
“That is true, child; don’t cry, you shall
have the boy sometime—when you are a lit-
tle bigger. When he has earned a thousand
francs for the wedding, he can then have
you.”
“He can never do it in the world, in cut-
ting wood and hunting Chamois-you know
he cannot."
“ Let him try, love can do anything.”
“Can it ?" questioned Katherli.
‘ “Of course; but children like you must
not think about such things. Mind your
knitting, child, the kitten is running off with
your ball. There are some flowers in my
coat pocket that I gathered for thee on the
mountain.”
“I don’t want flowers—I don’t want any-
thing if I cannot have Hans.”
Butterfly,” mused the peasant.
Hans Burkli was missing among his moun-
tain haunts on the next bright morning.—
Katherli cried a little, but she looked very
wise. Hope has a wondrous lamp forever
burning in the heart of youth. Before many
days I think good peasant Gutknecht; missed
him also; the liuntings must have been a
little solitary for the old man,now the strong
arm was gone that was always ready to car
ry the game. I think the peasant missed
him, but he said nothing about it, and Kath-
erli smiled and knitted away, and the kitten
played with the ball just the same. Ulrich
worked diligently on his curious wood car-
ving; and the peasant Gutknecht smoked
his meerschaum in the evening, and looked
gloomy, and scolded a little sometimes; he
said Katherli was stupid—that Ulrich was a
dreamer—Max Burkli, the good, genial soul,
he called an iceberg; and he swore that the
kitten was possessed of seventeen evil spir-
its. Katherli smiled and knitted away.
A party of wanderers! Katherli was glad
to see them at her little threshold, and she
did not much care if she was alone,although
she would like it very well if father and Ul-.
rich would happen home just then.
The travellers 'consisted of two gentlemen
one very young and imperious; the other,
an elderly man, with a kind voice, and still
kinder smiles, and two mountain guides,who
immediately wandered away within call, un-
til their services should be needed in the des-
cent.
The younger person was a French baron,
who was spending the summer among the
Alps, with his guardian, in order to “keep
cool” as he expressed it, Katherli’s hospita-
ble coffee, brown bread, and delicious honey
was appreciated by her guests; perhaps not
less than the veritable Katherli herself. It
is certain that the young gentleman cast
many a glance toward his pretty hostess that
would have killed half the belles in Paris
with jealflisy. Ulrich soon returned, and
found a liberal purchaser for many an artis-
tic little ornament of his own beautiful car-
ving.
“One thing more I want from these Alps,”
said the chevalier, as they were about going
away, and looking askauoe at Katherli;
“what do you think it is, pretty maiden? I
want a mountain bir .”
“An eagle ?” inquired she,in the innocence
of her heart.
“A dove,” he answered in a lower tone.—
“Yes, an eagle; (louder) if any one will
bring me a young eagle to the town of Gla-
rys, where I am staying for a month, I will
give him a thousand francs.”
“Will you ‘2” said Katherli. “And if I
bring it ‘2" ‘
“I will give you twelve hundred.”
Katherli scarcely slept that m ht. As she
was milking the pretty white goat the next
morning she became aware that Hans had
come home again. I will not say how she
learned it. Peasant Gutkneoht was crosscr
than an Alpine hear; he did not know that
Hans had returned.
Ulrich worked quietly on as usual, and
the naughty Katherli was away over on the
other side of the chasm in less than an hour
after the snow-white goat had been allowed
to wander away in search 0f violets and
mountain daisies.
“I have earned fifiy francs already, Kath-
erli,” said Hans; “and I shall have fifty more
when I take the chamois skins to the mer-
chant in the valley.”
“That is wonderful 1 I wish 'I had an ca-
gle, Hans."
“I hope you will have one by and by; if I
only had wings, Katherli—but what does
my dove want of an eagle f”
“I want an eagle very much, Hans; but I
am not a dove—that doesn’t mean anything.
I do not know. How do they look? How
funny you look at me. But do not call me
names any more. I will always be Katherli
to you,and nothing else; but I want a young
eagle.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“You shall have one.”
“Don’t get harmed, Hans ;” and Katherli
darted away.
It was her womanly heart that prompted
her to caution her lover against being rash.
She never for a moment supposed that any
accident could befall him. A true woman,
however timidly she may speak, never
thinks her beloved can be in danger. She
believes he can stand at the very cannon’s
mouth, unscathed.
"I must go to the valley, to-morrow. Kath-
erli," said Hans, on the evening of the same
day, “and if I find anything to do there I may
not be home as soon as I would like; don’t
be anxious about me. I tried to get you an
eagle 10-day, but the old birds were as furi-
ous as the Folin. I killed one, at last, how-
ever, and brought you some of her feathers,
and an egg from her nest, which I managed
to take. There was but one egg there; will
that do until I come home again?”
“Yes,” she answered, rather mournfully.
Hans kissed her soft, plump hand, and
bounded away.
As Katherli was about to lie down upon
the pillow that night, her rosy face brighten-
ed. She never slept so sweetly before in her
life, for there was a treasure in her bosom-—
a treasure that she guarded and kept as sa-
cred as all young ladies in love can keep a
secret, although no one gives them credit of
it. Was she not beloved 'by Hans? What
was there in the world holicr than love; and
who on earth was so beautiful to love as
Hans? Thus the maiden slumbered, and
Hope sang sweet lullabies to her heart; and
she was happy.
Beneath the laced bodice of the pretty
crimson kirtle she kept her secret. It was'
warmed and nourished by the glow of her
heart, and nobody knew that the mountain
maiden ever dreamed of such a thing as a
secret; not even Ulrich guessed it.
“Father,” said Katherli, one day, “you al-
ways said I might go to the valley of Glarys
sometime with'vou. I want to go when I
get my new kirtlc done; perhaps we can
take some of Ulrich’s beautiful cliamois and
Switzer houses, and sell them there.”
“ Shall we ?" asked the father of Ulrich.
“If Katherli wishes, it would please me
very much.
When was not the loving creature pleased
with anything that gave his sister pleasure.
“Well, my young lady, I am at your com-
mand, when shall we go?” said the father.
“I don’t know. I will tell you when my
new kii'tle is done. The old one has got to
be too small. I do not like it any more.”
“Nonsense," muttered the peasant.
On the morning of the third day after the
promise, Katherli appeared in her new kirtle,
and announced herself ready; so bidding an
affectionate good-bye to the dear boy and
brother at home, they started on their long
walk down the mountain, and after four
hours they found themselves on the outskirts,
of the pretty town of Glarys. They stopped
beside a bubbling brook, took a cold draught
therefrom, each eat a semmcl, which they had
brought with them, and, after resting awhilp
moved on. '
"N ow,” said the peasant Gutknecht, “I
will put you in this inn across the way,wherc
you can stay and rest until I come back.—
You are not afraid, are you ?”
“Oh, no, I like to stay here," answered
Katherli.
No sooner had the good peasant ,quitted
the house than the same kind-looking old
gentleman entered the room, who had no-
companied the Chevalier on his visit to the
mountains.
“ I am glad to see you sir,” said Katherli,
advancing towards him and extending her
hand. “Is the other ' gentleman here still?”
“Yes, he is here; he has been sick, and un-
able to leave the house, otherwise I fear we
should have made you a second visit.
“I should have been glad to have seen you.
Can I see the young gentleman now?”
“Why, my dear young lady—I regret--if
you were my daughter I should advise you
not to see him.”
“ Is he so dangerously ill that I might get
the fever, too? I should not like to take it
home to Ulrich. I do not care for myself.”
Here the door opened, and the Chevalier
entered, wrapped in an elegant dressing-
gowu of fawn-colored silk, lined with crim-
son. Hc snatched the velvet cap from his
head and dashed it to the floor.
“Pardon, madamoiselle, I am really over-
joyed by this unexpected honor."
“I never was so glad to see any one in my
life,” said Katherli, “as I am to see you.—
Oli, I am so happy.”
“I kiss your hand," answered the chem-
lier, bowing nearly to the earth, as though
he had been in the presence of the empress
herself.
“You said you wanted a bird sir?”
“ I do, my angel.”
“My name is Katherli.”
“I want a bird, sweet Katherli—indeed I
do. Have you come to say that my Paradise-
plunied minion is awaiting me.”
“I don’t know what that means.
S‘Jld you wanted an eagle?"
“I want an eagle, sweet charmer.”
“You said you would give a thousand
francs for an eagle ‘2”
it} did, my sweetest.” .
“And twelve hundred if I brought it to
you ‘3"
“I said those very words, my gentle mad-
emoiselle.” ,
“Here it is,” whispered Katherli, and un—
fusteu'ing the throat of her bodice, she ten-
derly took from her warm bosom something
which she carefully placed in the hand of the
Chevalier.
“Mon Dieu I” slirieked he, letting it fall to
the floor with a crash.
A hundred little pieces of egg shell lay at
his feet, and a small bird fluttering beneath
the long skirt of his dressing-gown.
The elderly gentleman took it up in his
hand.
“Fairly won," said he. “Shall I pay over
the money to the lady ?”
“Yes, and mountain lasses be confounded,
they are too much for me."
“And now I can marry Hans l” exclaimed
You
father. for all I care,” growled the chevrlicr,
turning away and moving off toward the
window.
This gracious permission was unnoticed
by Katherli, however; for peasant Gutknecht
entered, followed by Hans, whom he had
met returning from his small mercantile, ex-
pedition, and invited to walk home with
them, which invitation the astonished lad
Was only too happy to accept. Katherli
sprang forward, and throwing her arms
around the neck of her lover, exclaimed:
“Here I am, Hans; you can have me
now; we have got a thousand francs, and
more, too. Didn’t I know we should have
it, Mr. Father ?—kiss me, Hans—are you
not pleased ?"
“What is it ?” asked Hans.
"What is the matter ?” said the father, “is
the girl bewitched ?”
“No," answered the elderly gentleman,
with the beautiful countenance and kindly
voice; “but this young gentleman, here,was.
Never fear, Hans; you ought to be a happy
man, and you will be.” ,
“I am, sir.”
“The gentleman has bought your on gle-
thc one you gave mc—you know, Hans."
“No, I don’t, Katherli. I never gave you
any eagle.”
“Well, you gave me the egg.”
“And she has carried that egg in her faith-
ful bosom untii—here it is,” said the elderly
man, holding out the small bird in his hand.
“My young scapegrace‘wanted an eagle, and
he told Katherli if shé’would bring him one
he would pay her twelve hundred francs,and
she. has earned her money.”
“The money belongs to Hans,” said Ka-
therli, looking anxiously towards her fa-
thcr.
“And you belong to him, too,” said the
father; “you deserve each other, for you
have complete] y outwitted me.”
“And me, too,” muttered the Chevalier.
“Love can do anything, father.”
“I never supposed you would remember
that, child. I was foolish to say it to you.—
Girls are as quick as cliamois,” said peas-
ant Gutkuecht, addressing the elderly gentle-
man,
“ When shall we have the wedding ?”
demanded the chevalicr, somewhat molli-
fled.
It was speedily arm. ngcd.
Ten days later the bells of the little Church
of Linthal chimed forth a wedding chorus.
The bridal party entered the church under
arches of flowers, and the bridal pathway
along the aisle was a carpet of loveliest flow-
ers, whose fragrance grew sweeteh' beneath
the foot-fall of the bride of the mountain. -—
A wreath of orange-blossoms. adorned her
head; her green silk gown waslooped about
the skirt with roses,& :1 bunch of white roscr
buds nestled among the folds of her snowy
chemz'sette, above the close-fitting kirtle of
crimson velvet—the gift of the ' beautiful
bridesmaid, whose brother, the” chevuliery
was groomsman. Ulrich had been brought_
down the mountain to attend the nuptials in
a sedan chair, sent by the elderly gentleman
for that purpose. The bridal party dined
together at- the chcvalier's hotel. Katherli
felt as rich as a queen with her very pretty
bridal gifts. Never had any mountain mai-
den so grand a wedding; and never was
there an Alpine maiden who was so beauti-
ful a bridcas Katherli, the daughter of the
hunter of cliamois. Max Burkli is prouder
than a king of the young Frau Burkli.
PUNS STRUNG ON A FISH-LlNE.—.Prenl.lce
of the Louisville Journal, in his delight over
the noble vote of Kentucky for the Union,
runs over with fun. The followmg para-
graph on his secession neighbor of the Louis-
ville Couricr. combines as fine a string of
puns with a vein ofgood-naturcd sarcasm as
one often lights upon :—
“ Our neighbor Bob McKee, the very smart
editor of the Courier, as soon as he learned
the result of Monday’s election, started off
on a fishing excursion. When the twelve
disciples were in great trouble and perpleXity
as to what they should or could. do next,
Simon Peter with his usual facility of re-
source, said, “I go a fishing,” and Bob said so
too. He was so appalled by the popular vote
that he at once bounded‘froni_ poll to pole.—
Finding that in political conflict he was out
of his element, he went to see whether he
couldn’t hand a few pike, bass, and catfish
out of theirs. Realizing that he could no
longer cheat the people, be lowered his pre-
tensions materially, and undertook to retrieve
his self-esteem l y fooling the poor Simple
fishes. Unable to lead voters‘by the nose, he
thought he would try to pull fishes by the lip.
His present employment is deCidedlythe less
scaly of the two, and we hope he Will have
few hills and mountains to scale, and a good
many fishes, It is highly probable that his
tinny victim will swallow his bait more read-
ily than his readers have swallowedhis state-
ments. lVe protest against his usuig‘ nets;
let him take his fish as his southern friends
took their torts, arsenals, mints and revenue
cutters- -by booking them. We commend
him to the fishing-rod, and we commend the
rod to him, for we know of no editor that
more deserves it or deserves morcof it. In
case he drops a line to a fine pike Just to tell
him he would like to see him to dinner, he
may, if his liquors are good, drop us a line of
like import. If at any time the question
shall be whether he shall pull a big fish out
or the big fish shall pull him in, both parties
will please remember that we_are a strict
neutrality man. If he shall get into the river
and be devoured by the inhabitants of the
flood, we hope he will agree with them better
than he has ever agreed with any patriotic
party. We presume, however, there is no
danger of his drowning, else there is no truth
in old adages. If he does-not repeat of his
sins amid the calm and quiet scenes of nature
the worst we can have the heartto Wish him
is that that the musquitocs, ticks, sand flies,
and cross dogs may bite, and the .fishes not.
And please remember, dour Bob, in all your
fishing experiences, that the devil is the chief
of fishermen, and that you are his Bob.”

THE MCCLELLAN FAMILY.—\Ve have been
shown a writ, issued at Woodstock, Conn,
March 27, 1816, and signed “John M‘Clellan,
Jus. Peace." This was the grandfather of
the present heroic commander of the depart-
ment of Virginia. It is somewhat curious
that a sight of the latter’s signature, attached
to some document not long since, here such
a strong resemblance to the handwriting of
his grandfather, that our informant was at
once reminded ofthe family relation. The
family name was also spelt as above, without
the small “c.” The possessor of this relic
knew well the father and grandfather of
Gen. McClellan, and he thence derives the
utmost confidence in his bravery, sagacity
and indomitable perseverance, if “blood”

WThe Fourth Connecticut Regiment, is
in many respects a model regiment. The be-
haviour of the men has been such, that they
make warm friends wherever they go. They
have managed their supplies so admirably
that they have not only had enough, but
have saved about one hundred dollars per
week in provisions. From the following it
seems that they have commenced saving
their cash.
From the Washington Star.
Sotninns’ SAVINGS BANKs.—The follow-
ing letter from the chaplain of the Connecti-
cut Fourth exhibits a plan which-originated
and has been successfully carried out in
that regiment, to accomplish a most desirable
purpose. A similar plan is strongly recom-
mended for general adoption: , _
Camp Abercrombz'e, near Hagerslown, Md.,
August 12, 1861.
Dear Sir—Your letter of inquiry with re.
gard to the savings bank in our regiment is
at hand. The plan of the enterprise is very
simple. An agent is appointed to receive de-
posits from the men, and to forward the same
to the savings bank in New Haven, where
the money is put on six per cent. interest
from date of deposit. .
The name and address of each depositor is
given in full, as also the name and address of
some relative or responsible person, who can
serve to identify the depositor, or, in the
event of his death, make disposition of his
money. These names and addresses are for-
warded to the bank in New Haven, the
amount deposited by each person being care-
fully credited to him.
When a sufficient sum is collected to make
it worth while to forward to the bank, the
agent purchases a. draft on New York,.which
can generally be bought at some neighboring
bank at par for gold, and forwards it by mail
to the bank in New Haven. '.In case we
should be obliged to forward the specie by
express, this would still be done without sac-
rifice to the depositors, as the'omcers of the
regiment stand ready to contribute the trifling
amount necessaiy for this purpose.
The usual bank books are made out at the
bank for each depositor, and kept there for
him subject to his order.
Although this enterprise was not started
until some weeks after the inemreceived their
pay, the amount deposited was so great as to
demonstrate the entire success of the under-
taking. Its iufluence in correcting the pro-
fligatc habits of the camp, in recommending
habits of economy, and in securing the mon-
ey thus saved to the families or friendsof the
Soldiers cannot be overestimated. I would
earnestly recommend that a similar underta-
king be set on foot in every regiment. If
properly systemaiized and carried out, it,
would not add much to the labors of the
chaplain. _
I an), very respectfully, your obedient servant

Bverett on the Peace Men.
Edward Everett does not believe in such
free speech in time of war as will aid the en.
emies of the country in their wicked purpo-
ses. He says, in the New York Ledger,
that is the duty of the Government to sup-
press all attempts, through the Press or by
speech, to aid the cause of the rebellion. He
remarks upon the extraordinary spectacle of
tolcration exhibited by our Government in
this respect. Newspapers throughout the
loyal States are permitted to - denounce the
endeavors of the Government to protect its
own existence. Members of Congress were
allowed openly and defiantly to defend the
action of those who were waging W1" upon
the Constitution and the Union. The Gov-
ernment, from its regard for freedom of
speech, has tolerated the open advocacy of
measures which, if successful, inevitably in-
volves its own destruction.
The “peace" presses seem to make no dis-
tinction between a time of war and a time of
peace, when they prate about “free speech.”
Their free speech in these times is worth
more to the sccessionists than 50,000 ment
armed in the rebel cause. Mr. Everett not
only utters the words of true patriotism, but
doctrines. which l1:l.\_'(‘._,ll,ir?lljlhest cnnnm-o :»
