FRET NOT THYSELF.
Marianne Farningham, in Woman's Journal.
So wearily the fe9t may move
When the heart is not at rest;
God keeps His chiidren in His U vo,
And He knows best.
So tedious is the path of life
When the care is borne alone;
But God, amid the greatest strife,
Quiets His own.
No road is sunny all along,
But the shadows thickly lie;
Yet reason is there for a song
Since God is nigh.
No heart but has to bear its pain,
Yet the trouble goes at length;
The fading hope is bright again
When God gives strength.
Oh, child of God, be calm, be still,
Let the past bo what it may,
Live now as for the Father’s will,
And Him obey!
And lot the tumult and the rush
And the doubts and questions cease;
Give God thy care, and know the hush
Of perfect peace.

LAUREL HILL AND RICH MOUNTAIN-
Battles of 1861, and Commencement
of Retreat from Laurel Hill.
Transcribed from a Soldier’s Diary for the
Home Journal.
July IItii 1861.
MorniDg again dawns gloomily
over Laurel Hill, to find our little
army still in the muddy ditches,
since 11 o’clock the previous night,
momentarily expecting an attack
from the enemy. Some standing,
some sitting ou the ground, some
reclining against the edge of the
entrenchment, while others are
actually sprawled out in the mud,
trying to catch a “cat nap.”
TJie scene is one that would
seem to smack of the ridiculous,
but as natural as the necessity
of the occasion which brought it
about.
The clouds are lazily, but heavi
ly floating around as if preparing
to give us a repetition of the even
ing before—another flood of rain
and naturally no one seems to be
in a friendly frame of mind.
Yet apparently, all is now quiet
in a our immediate front; not a
puff of smoke from the sharp
shooters rifle, nor other signs of
menace upon us. But the guns ol
the enemy,“occasionally heard some
ten miles away, toward Rich
Macon,
Georgia.

Mountain, the key to our position,
would now arouse the suspicion
that McClellan had indeed been
milking, and was yet making a feint
or diversion upon us; the better to
enable him.to scoop down on, and
capture Rich Mountain. Which,
once in his possession, would let
him in our rear, forcing either a
precipitate retreat, if not indeed an
unconditional surrender to his so
largely over-preponderant army.
Anxiety holds its unmistakable
mark upon the countenance of ev
ery soldier, and the couriers of our
general, Garnett, rushing back and
forth, do not fail to heighten that
anxiety, or to keep up that suspi
cion.
Every eye in the entrenchment,
and in the camps, holds a sharp
watch over every movement on the
pikes leading to ■ and from our
camps to Rich Mountain.
The still occasional boom of can
non, as the day^ wears on, indicates
where probably the storm will first
spend its force, or complete the de
struction so much affecting us.
It is well known that we are
confronting a worthy and compe
tent foe, as a leader, with many
times our number of soldiers to ex
ecute both his plans and com
mands.
It is known too, that our camps
are stricken with many sick sol
diers from measels and typhoid fe
ver, which means not only an en
cumbrance, but-death in many in
stances, under a sudden aud pre
cipitate retreat
It is fiftther known that the
country is a ragged and mountain
ous one, and the. few roads are al
most impassable after so much
rain, which had continued to pour
day after day upon ns.
Qlt is also known that we have
little or no supplies, and if cut off
from pur base, most dire conse
quences must inevitably follow.
And no matter how competent oar
commander may be, his opponent
is his equal, with a large and well
.equipped army, compared to ours;
and with Rich Mountain in his
possession, would hold tlie trump
card or shorter side of the triangle.
Again, it is known that the route
through Beverly is the 'only),one
open to us for supplies and rein
forcements now straining every
nerve to reach us, south of and
over the Blue Ridge and Allegha
ny mountains. And that the ob-
loDg triangle formed by Laurel
Bill, filch Mountain and Beverly,
. , ~ -A
with Beverly as the apex, and
Laurel Hill on the .longer side or
several miles further off than Rich
Mountain, that the alertness and
competency of onr clever opponent,
(McClellan) would not fail to hold
the coup de etat, or fu|ly possess
himself of whatever advantage hi
strategy might make him master
of.
The high order of intelligence
among the greater portion of even
the private soldiers now compos
ing the first volunteers of the. war,
makes them fully cognizant of all
the surrouudiugs, or the perhaps
fateful future and difficulties
overhanging our gallant command
er, Garnett.
The sun has now reached aud pass
ed the meridian, and yet the guns
reverberate more frequently over
hill and dale, which seems still to
tell that Rich Mountain is indeed
being invested by perhaps a heavy
force, while another confronts us
perhaps only to annoy and mis
lead.
The day still speeds on, ’till late
in the evening, when suddenly
bursts forth more vigorously the
cannon, now indeed of Rich Moun
tain, iu reply to those of McClellan
surely and furiously hammering at
its gates for admission. Now
swers back ours from Laurel Hill,
which tell them that we too, are re
fusing admission to McClellan, but
cannot render them any succor
more than to hold our own position
Again and again, in consonant re
sponse the position and its key
make the welkin ring, ’till finally
Rich Mountain guns die away to
sound no more. But just uow the
thunder from the clouds, which
had been gathering from between
the two, opens over us as if to dis
semble and deceive, or lead us yet
to believe that perhaps Rich Moun
tain had not'fallen.
Bat soon is seen a courier in the
distance, winding around the pike,
coming as if on the wing3 of the
wind, hatless and with disheveled
hair, to say to Garnett that Rich
Mountain indeed has fallen
Excitement now runs high as the
boys stand iu the ditches, - in the

the mountains of great aud grand ; they were good soldiers; through j indutrial organizations assembled
old Virginia, is no fiction, but was I the mild and rain on the march, to | fn conference for that purpose:
a “dread reality,” equal in gray- j the wheels of the cannon and wag-! “That m view of the great so-
ity to the portrayal of the best pen j ons, aud in’ battle, -during ;.the j cial, industrial and economical rev-
that may ever undertake it, ex-1 whole four years of war, say ou | olution now dawning upon the civ-

durance, courage and suffering, j file closer misstated the facts: and
stooping,half whispering, each says
to ’himself and to the other, Rich
Mountain has fallen! Intuitively
passes all-along the lines, Rich
Mountain has fallen! And as in
tuitively the mind of each and ev
ery soldier alike is made no to
whatever fate may befall him.
While yet the rain pours in tor
rents, and night is beginning to
draw down around us, can be seen
Gen. Garnett’s -orderlies hurrying
hither and yonder in the camp and
along the intrenchmeuis, giving
ordej# to strike tents and prepare
to move at a moment’s warning.
Bnt what must now become ojt
the sick and almost dying soldiers
to be thrown out in the drenching
rain! What, or who can answer?
Soon the whips are popping, and
the baggage wagons are hurriedly
driven up, into which men and bag
gage alike are stored away as on
ly best can be done for humanity’s
sake,'and among the many in our
one company alone, George Kill-
en, John Graves and Simon Gray,
lie desperately sick with ' typhoid
fever. While Ren and Boss Ken
drick, Jack Davis and many others

ment on, with a passage of nearjy
thirty years between, would note
the fact that only two of this num
ber yet live to testify to the first
night’s ride; aud the still worse
fate on the retreat that followed,
Suffering between life aud death,
with the choice of the latter as a
panacea for the living torture at
tending and surrounding , them.
George Killen cannot testify, for-
I well remember he was uncon
scious the greater portion of the
time, fighting - his battles alone,
without medical attention, without
nourishment, aud without” hope.
But Ben Kendrick, who sprang
from the sick wagon with Boss, his
brother, at the battle of Carrack’s
Ford, aud who wtided and swam
Cheat river with measles thickly
broken out on them to avoid cap
ture, mnst now stand alone to tes
tify to the death ride from Laurel
Hill.

Brit again back to. the scenes
around the wagons, tenderly lift
ing our men oneby one, and bag-
gage, piece by piece, till the whole
is finished; when uow the knap
sacks and empty haver sacks and
and canteens are hurriedly
strapped around each soldier, in
his own way and in his own mis
ery looming up before him.
Night draws on, and has now ful
ly enveloped ns, and the excite
ment consequent upon such an oc
casion settles down (o sullen oi
stolid indifference as to whatever
fate may indeed befall the soldier;
when finally, several hours later,
the army, company after edmpany,
aud regiment after regiment be
gins to move out in the black dark
ness, sometimes almost knee-deep
in mud and water; now over rocks
and other obstructions, and again
floundering in the mud aud water
to regain the musket which had
slipped even the soldier’s desper
ate grasp; now imprecations, but
not a single prayer.
Aud just here, or in order that
some of the inside amusements and
hilarity,^>r ups and dows that some
times unexpectedly creep through
eveu the thickest and darkest
clouds upon the soldier’s life, may
be fully realized, I quote directly
lrom and in the exact language of
my diary.
“In the initial movement out- of
camps from Laurel Hill, and be
fore we are fully straightened out
in line of march, a great shout of
IHPgmu UUga uui, uum l
head of company, and in a mo
ment word comes whispering down
the lines, Clint Duncan has fallen
in a well; and to use his own ex
pression (now scampering and
scuffling with his musket finally
across the top trying to swing him
self out), ‘a thousand feet deep.’
For a moment all begin to bemoan
the sad fate and loss of this wily
and clever old soldier. Bat to our
great relief and gratification, in a
moment more the word comes
down agaiu that he is. out, but mad
enough to refuse even to speak to
his closest friend, or indeed in this
dripping, dilapidated predicament
to use his gun on the first fellow
in reach, with eveu a smile on his
face, as if enjoying the fun of his
mishap. And I was told afterward
by his file closer ‘that Clint came
up out of the well like some great
water sprinkler, or spitting and
spluttering like a steam-gauge
throwing off steam, and muttering
a muddled conversation to himself,
which sounded to him very much
like imprecations, or down right
cuss words.”
This however, I do not vouch for
as being in full the whole truth,
being myself of lower; statue, my
position was too far down the line
to either hear his eloquent speech
or see the antics cut up, with wa
ter just under his chin, all in the
dark, and all in the well by himself.
And again I quote from diary,
which was penned for the truth,
now nearly thirty years ago.
I stumbled over the end of a
log protruding near the side of the
snpposable road and fell sprawling
length-wise iu a mud hol^, deep
enough and big enough, not only
to hide,,but saturate me from head
to foot; losing my gun in the
scramble, which to find again- am-
forced to dive vigorously with
hands and amrs; and while doing
this some of the rear files run over
the same-end of log aud fall over
me without mercy. On the other
side of the road, or from the oppo
site file the same moment, George
Paul or Louis Betchold, l am una
ble to say which, and now too mnch
worried or excited to care- which, is
heard rattling away in. German at
such a high speed and so rapidly as
to be construed both into impre
cations and cuss words inextricably
mixed.”
And a3 an addenda, or now com
menting on what was penned in
that eventful .past, and on that oe-
ou the second part 1 ' (Paul) that it
was Louis Betchold, and not him
self.” Bat as both the file closer
aud Betchold are lo.Ag since dead,
and as a living pricipal ns a wit
ness against a dead man, I believe
stands as naught in law, these two
gentlemen can only appeal to my
liberality for the benefit of a doubt;
that I either misunderstood the
report of the file closer, or mistook
Betchold for Paul. It is their
privilege to explain as best they
can of their conduct to their own
children and throw off on me; bat it
is still the privilege of the public
to draw its own conclusions accord
ing both to the standing of the
witnesses and all the evidence
touching the question.
But while these little escapades
and mishaps are continuing to
mix back and forth with the sol-
diers, the column has not failed to''
beat its way forward on the march
when and where to end no one can
say. On through the darkness, and
in mud and rain, the race is run
between Garnett and McClellan,
the' one to pass, the other to pre
vent by the interposition of his ar-
my. - '
Now the artillery, then the' wag
ons stall-—now the weary soldiers
place their shoulders to the wheels,
and still the column moves slowly,
but surely on toward Beverly, the
apex of the triangle, and the ob
jective point of both Garnett and
McClellan, the former ou the long
er side, the latter on the shorter,
but which to win? Morniu
now closely drawing near, and
Beverly yet some eight miles away,

The following platform of the I
People’s Party was adopted at Ciii-; Mr. John W. M. Hall, a member
cinnati on the 20th inst., the new f of a large lumber exporting firm of
party having been formed by rep-(Boston, in a conversation a few
days ago with a representative of
the Boston Herald, said: “I nev
er would advise a man to go west,
with the opportunities now open
ing at the sonth. It is the coming
country, and the garden spot of the
United States.” Mr. Hall has
spent a great deal of time during
the last few years in different
parts of the south, and he is,there
fore, qualified to speak authorita
tively with respect to the south
and her future. There is one
thing iu the south that has im
pressed him greatly, and that is its
intense Americanism.
It is true that no other section
of the country is so distinctly
American as the south. The Irish,
Germans and other foreigners form
a laige part of the population of
the eastern states, and the Ger^
mans and Scandinavians are iu a
big majority in the western states.
In the south, however, there are
comparatively few foreigners.
There are not enough to furnish a
congenial soil for the ideas of an
archists and socialists.
And there are no marked iudi-
cations that immigrants from En-
ropo will settle in the south to any
great extent. They prefer the west.
The immigrants which the south
gets are nearly all from the north
ern states, and the most of them
are the descendants of native
Americans. If the south should
continue to receive immigrants of
this kind she will remain wbat she
is now—the most distinctly Ameri-
can part of the nuioD.
The genuine Americans, those
If the farm will not now pro
duce the crops that were once eas
ily grown upon it, begin at once to
apply the remedy. Restrict your
acreage, cultivating half the land,
or even less, and concentrate all
your manure upon that portion.
Soon the crops will be larger than
you have been procuring from the
whole, less expenses' will be in
curred, aud the portion that is un
used will improve by the rest given
it.
An-experienced horseman says
that diluted foods will prevent
horses from having colic. He rec
ommends chopping 'up corn and
cobs together as a part oE the an
imal’s diet, so that it will swallow a
portion of the cob. A mixture com
posed of wheat, bran aud oats
ground with corn is highly rec
ommended when fed with bay that
has been chopped and moistened.
Revenues are said to be greatly
diminished in the Canadian treas

States has been somewhat restrict
ed. Some sort of amicable arrange-:
ment for promoting a freer inter
change of commodities seems to
be essential to the health of the

whose ancestors for generations
were Americans, have made this
country what it is. And they will
make the south the richest part of
the country. Their energy and
genius will develop the south’s
mineral and agricultural resonrees
and build railroads and establish
factories. Already the south has
more than recovered from the ruin

world.
Mr. Hall, therefore, is right in
advising young men of the New
England states to settle in the
south instead of the west, b cause
the south has much more than the
west to offer them. And the time
is close at hand when they will
find more satisfactory surround

south they find very acceptable.
In the matter of educational ad
vantages the south may be behind
the west somewhat, but she will
not be so long. Her people appre

colleges, and they are doing their
utmost to raise the standard of
them and to bring them within the
reach of all. Their poverty • for
many years after the war is their

their schools. Bates their mate
rial condition improves—and it is

west.

weU directed effort, or with the
amount of success‘tbey achieve.

of his puts it m this way: “Has
it ever occurred to you that by re
ducing the size of postage stamps
Mr. WanamaKfer has saved to the
people of this great republic the
n?cessity of licking two and an
eighth acres of surface on everv
100,009, P00 stamps used annually?”
After all, Mr. Wanamaker has
been of some service.
The entering wedge of a com
plaint that may prove fatal is often
a slight cold, which a dose or two
of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral imgTif
have cured at the commencement.
It would be well, therefore, to keep
this remedy within reach at aS
times.
