The South.
Soft sunny land of heroes brave,
Bright clime of song and glory,
From mountain crag to ocean’s wave,
I heard the thrilling story.
How thine own gallant sons and rare,
The tyrant North defying,
Have raised on high thy banner fair,
And kept it proudly flying.
And now beneath that standard proud,
With star gems gleaming brightly.
Ten Thousand Southern Warriors crowd,
With glorying hearts and knightly.
From classic Carolina’s land,
From every hill and valley,
From Florida's old ocean strand.
Thy brave defenders rally.
From Georgia’s stately city homes,
From all her rural regions;
Foom sunny Alabama comes,
The sound of gathering legions.
From Mississippi’s plain and glen,
Iler rifles true as ever;
Start up with Louisiana men,
To meet the vile invader:
Where Rio Grande rolls its tide,
The tocsin sounds the danger,
And quickly in his strength and pride,
Leaps up the gallant Ranger.
But hark! a sound, portentous, grand,
Swells from the “Old Dominion,”
It passes through the statled land,
On swift electric pinion.
Old “Rip Van Winkle” hears the sound,
Virginia’s matchless thunder!
And with a brave and giant bound,
She breaks the spell of slumber.
The welling echoes onward move,
O'er river, dale and mountain;
They sweep through every orange grove,
And o’er each Southern fountain.
Brave Arkansas and Tennessee,
The stiring chorus bearing,
Have from their vales and highlands free,
Sent forth their heroes daring.
Missouri and Kentucky too,
Have heard the stern alarum.
And fust their noble chieftains flew,
To swell the ranks of Freedom.
“Old Maryland” caught the clarion strains,
And gave one throb defiant;
But now alas, she mourns in chains,
Yet spurns the cravern tyrant.
A legion of her bravest ones,
With all their ancient ardor.
Have sped to aid Vilginia’s sons.
Across Potomac's water.
And myriads more remaining now,
Await the day of vengeance,
When they shall rise ami strike the blow,
For SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE!
And thus sweet SOUTH, thy trumpet call.
Orlando like hast sounded
And forth from cot and palace hall
Thy Paladins have bounded
Marylnd Forever.
Frederick, June 13th, 1861.
An Impoverished Population.
The New York Daily Nears sets forth,
that among the poorer classes in tliat
city the burdens of the war arealready
beginning to press with a fearful weight.
There is no business, no eniployineiit,
no income, no money. The writer pro
ceeds :
The man who witnesses the winter of
1861-62 in this and other Northern ci
ties, will have need for a heart of mar
ble and a face of brass to resist the emo
tions of pity and horror which must
crowd upon him in behoiding the fear
ful scenes that will present themselves.
A ruined and beggared people, strug
gling with destitution and exorbitant
taxation at home, and contending with
expensive and bootless war abroad, has
been described by history unhappily
again and again ; but the terrible spec
tacle is now apparently about to be re
produced here, with illustrations of un
usual poignancy and effectiveness.
The inability to pay rents- in summer
fireshadows a terrible condi'ion of af
fairs when cold weather -shall be upon
us. W hat must bjth ■ state of things
in November or February if this is what
we are to contemplate in August ? It
would be easy, doubtless, for landlords
to evict tenants and re It t tin ir premi
ses, but would the next comers be likely
to do better? The fact is, the war is
ruining New York. Ic is the North,
and not the South, that is suffering the
• fleets ot the present hostiiiti s, as
every clear-sighted financier and states
man predicted, from the beginning,
would be the case. It is we who art
blockaded—not the cotton States
1 iierc is but little suffering, compara
tivcly speaking, in Charleston, Savan
nah, or New Orleans; but there is a
fearful amount of it in New York, Bos
ton and Philadelphia
1 he industry of the South is not par'-
alyzed. The negro still goes to his Cot
ton, rice, or sugar field, aS he did be
fore the war, and returns to dance be
fore sun-down; but our Northern ine
chani •, business man, or laborer—how
does the war effect him ? How does the
capitalist of whom the New York cor
respondent of a Philadelphia journal
tells, whose Augnst rental roll in this
city has shrunk from three thousand
dollars and upw irds to a pitiful ni»ety J
six dollars, like the effects of war? We'
predict he will soon be a peace man, if
he be not already converted ; and that
he will agree, as the whole community
•—contractors and epaulette wearers ex
cepted—will, ere long, with the peace
organ, the New York Daily News, that
this war ought to come to an end.
How an Army Moves.
There are a great many things be-'
sides men and guns essential to an ar
my ; and a commander, about to lead
an army into a hostile country, first se s
that a commissariat is well provided
with provisions, that there are ample
means of transportation, and that there
is a reserve of ammunition and clothing,
and a good supply of hospital stores and
medicines. All the preliminary arrange
ments for the march having been care
fully made, the “order of march” is com
municated to the several commanding
officers of Division, Brigades, and Regi
ments, but not published in orders.—
The troops are distributed according to
the character of the country. In a very
open country, a large proportion of cav
alry would be at the head of the column;
but generally it is distributed through
out the line.
The artillery should be in the rear of
the first foot regiment. An advance of
rear guard of mounted troops—one or
two companies— should be detailed each
day ; and the regiment that has the right
ot the lino one day should be next day
in the rear. In a woody or mountain
ous country, detachments of flankers
and skirmishers are thrown out to the
right and left of the column, at a dis
tance of one or two hundred paces, to
keep a sharp look out.
The column having boon formed at
half or quarter distance, and the bag
gage train assembled in the rear, pro.
tccted by a guard selected from each
regiment for its own baggage, the col
umn is put in motion and the march
commences with the same regularity as
would be observed by a regiment mov
ing in or out of a garrison town, the
bunds playing’, the light infantry with
arms sloped and those of the riflemen
slung over the shoulder, the officers
with swords drawn, exact wheeling dis
tance preserved, and perfect silence ob
served.
After having proceeded a short dis
tance in this manner, the word of com
mand, “route step,” is given by the gen
eral at the head of the leading - battalion,
and passed quickly on to the rear.—
The captains, instead of continuing at
the heads of their companies, draw back
to the rear of them, that they may sec
any men of their respective companies
who attempt to quit the ranks without
leave. The soldiers then inarch and
carry their arms in a manner conven
ient to them, conversation and smoking
being ordinarily allowed.
Public Sentiment in New Hampshire.
Ihe Baltimore N.rehanyc publishes
the following extracts from a private
letter from New Hampshire :
“Men are not so anxious to enlist
now as they were previous to the fight.
A friend of ours assured us last Friday,
that the recruiting sergeant had been
ten days enlis ing ten men in Concord,
and a young man in Concord told me he
had been offered SSO bounty.
The writer adds :
“There is a, great change here in pub
lic sentiment within a month. There
are 20,000 men in New Hampshire op
posed to the war, as at present carried
on to subjugate the South. Our first
regiment will come home next week.—
Most ot them, I learn, have got enough
of the war. T hey complain greatly of
the treatment they have received, and
say that they have been used very
meanly.”
The Concord (New Hampshire) Stan
dard says ;
‘"lt is very doubtful whether another
volunteer regiment can be raised in
this Slate. The people begin to feel
that the war is unjust and cruel, and
that all who engage in it will be looked
upon as fighting for pay and not for
justice ; and that, h iwever much they
may need employment to get a living,
they arc not going to robbing and mur
dering their Southern brothers. They
fol that if poverty should drive them
to commit such crimes, it would be far
better to commit them among the Abo
litionists of the North, who have caused
their poverty ; and that is, doubtless,
their firm resolve.”

Poor men you who depend on your
daily labor for your support, God held

lar a day now, unless we enlist as offi
cers for this plundering war ? \\ here
shall we find our shilling a day if it
continues s : x months longer, when the
frosts ami snows of another winter fall
around us and our families ?

instead of icg'mcnts, and hard material
at that. It would appear from Tele
grams, that they are already resorting
to draft in Illinois.
