Ml]! City Printer —Official Paper LAHtjESTCITirTIKCILATION. »HU HSDAV = MO RNINO • Aa*. 1«, 1»«« (For the Daht Pun.] They Call U» How a Euined People. BT ANXIR R. BLOCBT. They call us now a ruined people, Our swords within their scabbards rust. Out bravest men have fallen in battle, Our conquered Banner trails the dust. Our dead we mourn —how sadly, vainly I We plant the cypress and the yew, The only -lomfort in our sorrow, They died —thank Qod—to duty true. And still we have our honor left as, We’ll guard It snored till we die; Tho legacy we leave our ohildren. When we beneath the turf shall lie. We have no broad lands now to bequeath them, No thousand slaves to which they are heir, No gold or silver for their dowry, No shadod grounds and mansion fair. Nothing but a Uttered, bloody Banner, And notes no nation will redeem; Tho graves of all our murdered heroes, The fragments of our broken dream. Where are now the troops that marched so gaily ? Their banners streaming in the wind ; With smiles at thoughts of future glory, And tears for those they left behind ? In old Virginia’s blood-stained valleys, Their bones are bleaching in the sun ; On Tennessee’s broad fields they’re sleeping, Those fields their valor vainly won. Alas ! bright eyes grown dim with weeping, And waiting for some fallen brave. Alas ! young heart, whose joy lies buried In some far, namoless soldier-grave ! Where is tho “glory” of your dreaming, The “fame” of your brave “private” now ? The angels know he died for duty. They crowned with wreaths nis victor brow ! Where is your “soldier-boy,” mother, Whose gay-hued sash your fondness tied ? And, sister, where the manly brother, Whose sword you buckled on with pride? In some dark, loathsome Norihorn prison, His pulse grew faint —his cheeks turned pale, And thus he died, whilo some kind comrade Brought to your home the mournful tale. And “when the cruel war” was “over,” And our brave boys marched home again, Where were the honors and ovations We dreamed would meet the coming train ? Triumphal arches ? Sackcloth rather, For ruined hopes and homes like ours ! And ashes—type of desolation, Instead of bays and wreathes of flowers! Are these the “braves” who marched so gaily. To sound of trumpet, fife and drum, In tattered grey—sleeves ragged, empty f Is this the way we dreamed they’d come? With grief-dimmed eyes for comrades sleeping, To wake no more at roll-call, till The Great Creator bids them answer ! Lord 1 ’tis thy doing—heart, be still! Maimed, crippled, crushed, half broken hearted, Shall we withhold our mead of praise ? What if the cause we loved is vanquished? And we’vo no heart to gather bays, Are they—our heroes—less deserving? They failed—but ’twas God’s holy will, Ruined in fortune —poor—defeated, They bear their fate like heroes atill. And ye—oh ! women of our Southland, Who cheered our nobie warriors on, Who soothed the wounded soldier's death bed, And prayed when even hope was gone : Cheer ye the living in their sorrows. Exalt and purify their hearts, Be “ministering angels” truly, In peace, as war, act well your parts. And though we are a stricken people, Our riches fled—our homes bereft, Our lands a waste —our children beggared, All ia not .one—reeve honor left. Thu faded gray—so sacred—tells us Os brave hearts sleeping in its fold ; Taat tattered Flag—of hands that waved it To glory once—now palsied, cold. They preach us lessons of endurance And duty, and the words we’ll heed, Although while toiling and rebuilding At every poro our torn hearts bleed ! May we not hope to reap in gladness, Although we sow our seed in tears ; And hear those words : “The South victo rious,” To thrill our hearts in ooraing years. Notice to Merchants. J.

A CERTAIN CURE For this Disease may be found in tbe uaa of ife PERRY DAVIS' VEGETABLE Pain JKiller, St. Lodi*, Mo., June 14, 1849. Mr. A T. Woodward, Agent of Perry David Pain Killer : Dbab Sib : I feel it a duty I owe to the public, to make known tbe value of Perry Davis’ Pain Killor, and my experience in aeing it for some of the complaint* for which it i* highly recommended. In April last, on your recommendation, I purchased a one dollar bottle of yon for pains with which I have long been afflicted, and made use of it on my trip down to New Orleans, with the most gratifying and beneficial effects. On my return to this city, the Cholera made its appearance among some of my passengers. I made use of the Pain Killor, having no other remedy on board, and, to my surprise and gratification, fouod it gave immediate relief! On my arrival in St. Louis, I called on you and got four large bottles, and stated to you my confi dence in it as an infallible Cholera remedy, and remarking to you that I wanted no other Cholera remedy on my boat. I made use of the four bottles on my trip to New Orleans and back, for Cholera and some other complaints for which it is recom mended, and met with the most astonishing success ; when I ordered from you six more one dollar bottles. Since then I have made two more trips to New Orleans and back; and on my previous tripup I bad more than SEVENTY CASES OF CHOLERA on board, when the PAIN KILLER was immediately used wiih themost astonishing results. In all cases where it was used in time, it gave relief in a very short time ; and I can, with confidence, say to tbo pub lic, that in all the first stages of Cholera, when taken in time, it is, in my opinion, an infallible remedy! aDd after a fair trial with it for several weeks, and lor four trips to New Orleans and back, and using it for Cholera and other complaints for which it is recommended, no consideration whatever would induce me to leave port without a good supply—believing it to be a medicine that no officer of a boat or any family would be without a single day after using one bottle; believing it to be the most valuable family medicine known to the world for all tbe different complaints for which it is recommended. P. S.—Please send me six largo bottles for this trip. J. M. BnOADWELL, Captain Steamer Adriatic. I most cordially unite with Capt. Broad well in reoommendiug Perry Davis’s Pain Killer to the public, having myself been severely attacked with the Cholera, and found relief in a few hours by using the Pain Killer, and have mysolf administered it to more than fifty persons attacked with the Cholera, aud when used in time, a cure was effected in a few hours, and take pleas ure in recommending it to the public as an invaluable medicine, that no individual should be without a single hour. J. F. Boffington, Clerk Steamer Adriatic. Davis’ Pain Killer. —ln to-day’s Union will be found an advertisement of this cele brated remedy. The certificates appended from the captain aud clerk of the steamer Atlantic we know to be genuine, and founded on facts, as they verbally stated in our office the substance of what they pub lish. —St. Louie Union.
