O solitary shining sea,
That ripples in the sun.
0 gray and melancholy sea,

Breaking with moan and strain—
I, like an humbly chastencd child,
Come back to thee again :

Upon the quiet sands.
And twist the cliff convolvulus
Once more, round idle hands.
And look across that ocean line,
And o‘er life‘s summer sea,
Where many a hope went sailing once
Full-set with canvass free.
Strange, strange to think how some of them
Their silver calls have furled,
And some have whltely glided down
Into the under-world.
And some, dismastcd, tossed and torn,
Put back in port once more,
Thankful to ride, with freight still safe,
At anchor near the shore
Stranger it is to lie at ease. _

More light and wandering than sea-birds
Between the waves and sky: '
To play child‘s play with shells and weesfi.

A Challenge. , .
The rebellion of the Southern traitors
against the Union and the Government,
is a rebellion against the democratic
rights of the people, and an attempt to
destroy true republican institutions, and
build up an aristocracy or monarchy
upon the ruins. In proof of this,.read
the declaration of the leading traitdr of
South Carolina. John C. Calhoun said:
" That we are esaentially aristocratic,
I cannot deny, but we can and do yield
much to the democracy. This is our
sectional policy ,- we are from necessity
thrown upon and solemnly wedded to
that party, however it may occasionally
clash with our feelings, for the consuma-
tion of our interests. It is through our
afiliatiou with that party in the Middle
and Western States that we hold power,
but when we cease thus to control this na-
tion, through a disjointed Democracy, or
any material obstacle in that party? which
shall tend to throw us out of that rule
and control, we shall then resort to the
dissolution of the Union.” i
J. Quitman Moore, a leading traitor
of Mississippi, scorned the true demo-
cratic doctrine of “the greatest good to
the greatest number,” and denounced it
in these words :—
“ Those pestilent and pernacious dog-
mas—‘the greatest good to the greatest
number’-—‘the majority shall rule’-‘-—-are,
in their practical application, the fright-
ful source of disorders never to be quiet-
ed—philosOphies the most false, and pan-
sions the most wild, destructive and un-
governable.” -‘ '
The design of the leaders is to estab-
lish an aristocracy or a monarchy. The
Southern Literary Messenger, a promi-
nent Magazine published at Richmond,
in along article advocating these views,
says :— .
“ We would not be understood as uni-
ting in the belief of the impossibility of
a. successful Republic, that we cry out
. for the re-establishmeut of royalty in this
free country, whose noble sous daily: at-
test their detestation of tyranny in- all
its forms, by those terrible libatious which
it is the habit of liberty to exact from
her votaries. We have no special objec-
tions to royalty, when restrained by con-
stitutional barriers.”
The traitors intend to prevent foreigu'
are from enjoying the rights of citizen-
ship, and propose to reduce them to the
level of serfs and slaves. Adopted Citi-
sens l Read the plans of the censpirs~
tors against the rights of the people as
advocated by the leaders in Richmond:
“ But no foreigner who comes among
us after the struggle is over should ever
enjoy the elective franchise. If we can-
uot check the spread over our territory
of that spawn of ignorance and crime,
which flows in endless issue from the
prisons and dens of corruption in the
mart of Europe, we can at least shut out
its cankering effects from the vitals of
our bodies politic.”
These are only a few of many witnesses,
who prove beyond a doubt, that the re-
bellion is designed to overthrow the
rights and liberties of the people.
I challenge Hon. Fernando Wood,
Hon, Nelson J. Waterbury, Hon Samuel
J. Tildeu, Prof. Mason, and the Com-
mittee of the Society for the Diffusion
of Political knowledge, to disprove or
deny the correctness of these quotations.
Those things being true, I told that it is
to the best interest of every workingmau,
and it is his first duty as scitizcn, to
stand by the government until the one-
mies of the Union and the enemies of
democratic principles are overthrown:
that any man, who resists the govern-
ment, and interferes with the vigorous
prosecution Of the war, is helping the
worn enemies of workingmen: that we
must put down the rebellion by a united
strength, restore peace by crushing the
public enemy, and win prosperity by a
reiteration of the Union.
I challenge the editors of the N. Y.
Tribune, and the World, the Horaldmnd
the Times, the Evening Post and the E2-
press, the Journal of Commerce and the
Commercial Advertiser, the Sun and the
Daily News to disprove or deny my su-
thoritieo, or the corrrectness of my cou-
clssious.

Small birds chase each other about in
play; but, perhaps, the conduct of the
crane and trumpeter is the most extraor-
dinary. The latter stands on one leg,
hops about in the most eccentric manner,
and throws somersets. We call it the mad
bird, on account of these singularities.
Water birds, such 'as ducks and geese,
dive after each other, and clear the sur-
face of the water with outstretched neck
and flapping wings, throwing abundant
spray around. Deer often engage in a
sham battle, or trial of strength, by twist-
ing their horns together and pushing for
the mastery. All animals pretending vi-
olence in their play, stop short of exerci-
sing it. The dog takes the greatest pre-
caution not to injure by his bite; and the
ourang outang, i wrestling with his keep-
er pretends to throw him, and makes
feints of biting him. Some animals carry
out in their play the semblance of catch-
ing their prey; young cuts, for instance,
leap after every small and moving object,
even to the leaves strewed by the autumn
wind; they crouch and steal forward,
ready for the spring; the body quivering,-
' and the tail vibrating withemotion, they
bound on the moving leaf, and agdin

position. Soon after his arrival, he wrote
to his wife enclosing a certain sum of mon-
ey to enable her toproceed to New York
to join him. The letter was sent to his

left thecountry. Her husband, in the.
course of time, married a second wife in
New York; he was succeeding well in bu-
siness, while his wife in Amsterdam re-
garded him as dead, and was making ar-
rangements for her second marriage.
That event however, never occurred,- for
the second lover died a few days before
the day fixed for the wedding. Her bus-
band, meanwhile last your lost his New

GREAT BATTLE IN GEORGIA!
CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 22.—-The battle
on the 19th resulted Well for us, we hav-
ing held our own as established on the
left,.and concentrated our forces during
the day, and on Sunday morning held a
handsome line, with our right on a ridge
works of logs thrown up during the
night. Our left rested on the east side
of Rossville and Lafayette, about four
miles south of Rossville. ,«
In the fight of the 10th, we had lost
about 600 killed and 2,000 wounded,
and were ahead three pieces of artillery,
and the men were in splendid spirits-
The engagement was resumed at 9
o’clock; on the morning of the 20th,
by the attempt of the rebels to storm
Gen. Thomas’ left and front They were
severely repulsed several times, with
heavy loss to them and very little to us..
This fight lasted an hour and a half, and
was the most terriffic of the war—a con-
tinuous fire of musketry and artillery
being kept up with deadly efi'ect. Du~
ring this fight, our right centre was not
engaged—our skirmishors keeping up a
halting fire. .
The enemy, finding this assault vain,
maneuvered to the left with the intention
of throwing a force on the ’Rossville road,
and attacking Thomas (in the left flank.
Atthis juncture, Thomas ordered Gent;
Brannon, who had one brigade in reserve,
and two with ' Reynolds, holding the key.
'Of the position, which was Thomas’ right;

vigorous attack on that part of the line,
piercing the centre, cutting ofi' Davis and
Sherideu frOm the left, and driving the
centre into the mountains—both, right
and centre being much scattered, without
very serious loss in killed or wounded.
The right and centre ' gone, Thomas’
right became exposed to a‘most'terrific
flank attack, and Reynolds and Brannon,
and the right of Thomas’ line was swung
around, his extreme left being as at first,
This also fell back a short distance on
the Rossville road. Parts of the centre
were gathered up and reported __to Them-
as who made several stands, but was un-
able to check the rebel advance, until
thearrival of reinforcements.
At one o’clock, Gen. Granger, with
one division of reserves, Come up, and
'was at once thrown into the centre, dri-
ving the enemy handsomely from his po-
sition on a strong ridge, with heavy loss.
The fire from one of Granger’s batteries
mowed them down like grass. This fight
lasted about half an hour, with slightloss
to as. Captain Russell, Gen. Granger’s
Adjutant, was killed before he had been
ten minutes in the fight.
After this bloody repulse, the enemy
remained quiet until 4 o’clock, persisting
howover in maneuvering on both flanks.
Their full and correct information regard-
ing this country enabled them to dose
with facility. Having-gotten again on
our flank, the enemy made a vigorous at-
thckL. and a fight ensued which has no.
parallel in the history of this army.
Col. Harker’s brigade and Gen. Wood’s,
division distinguished themselves.
Gen. Wood, Col. Barker, and Gen.
Garfield were present, and with the
remnant of Gen. Johnson’sdivision held
the left, and covered themselves with glo-
ry on the right and center.
Gens. Brannon, Baird, Reynolds and "
Palmer, with their divisions, fought most
gallautly, while Gena. Steadmau and _
Granger held the reserve, and drove the
enemy back from every point where they
came in.
At 5 o’clock Gen. Thomas was still
triumphant, and on the left held his/line-
of the morning, but with the right of the
enemy nearly back to his line, nearly at
right angles with that of the morning.
Two lines of retreat were open to Gen.
Thomas to Oh attanooga--on one of which
he fell back to ROssville during the night.
Our losses have necessarily been heavy,
but the list of killed will be surprisingly
light, and in the two days’ engagement
we have not suffered more in men than
the enemy.
In the charge by Gen. Thomas on the
first day, the enemy lost as many in killed
as we did on the whole day. Our kill-
ed will reach l200; our wounded to about
'lOOO—most of them slightly wounded.
Among the general Ofiicers killed * arc
