HV COL, E. D. HAKDIi. A tributo to the memory of the Illinois soldiers who died of disease.jand wereburied Vu the banks of the Ilio Grande, during'tho Mexican war. En. Where rolls the rushing Uio Grande, Uure peacefully they sleep : fc'ar frotu their native northern land, Far from the friends who weep. So rolling drum disturbs their rest, Ueuenth the sandy sod Te mould lies heavy nn each brcast, The spirit is with (iod. Thev heard their country's call, and caiiia To battle for her right ; Each bosom tilled tvitii martial flamo, And kindling for the light. Light was their measured footstep wlicti They moved to seek the foe. Alas filial hearts so liery, then, Should soon be cold and low. They did not die in eager strife, Upon a well-fought tL-ld ; Not from the red wound poured'.their life, Where cowering foemeu yield. Death' ghastly shade was slowly cast Upon eauh manly brow ; lint calm and fearless to the last, They sleep in aileiice now. Vet shall a grateful country give Her honors to their name ; In kindred hearts their memory lives, And history guards their fame. Not unremembered do they sleep Upon a foreign strand. Though near their graves thy w ild' waves sweep, Thou rushing Hio Grande. Old Biiock'sSl'ccss: o t. We omitted tenotice among the events of two weeks ago, that the Dixie Democratic Committee, fire called tojjotncr by James II. Slater. Old lirouk, their Chair Man, having run away, Slater states that some body must attend to it, and so ho pipes out the Call. If they were a band of fugitive slaves, on it dark night, Slater could probably whistle them together. The proposal to hold it convention of the supporters of Breekenridge while that per sonage is bearing a sworj ag linst his country, strikes us ns rather a bold one for this latitude, nnd in a loyal State. How much moro loyal to the Union is this lircckenridgo Convention to be than the outlaw, the cut-throat, the barn burner Is that body to be more loyal than Claib Jackson's Legislature at Neosho, or the loafers at any other rebel camp, North or South? We are to have these lireckeuridgo conventions here in our midst, nnd, perhaps Breekenridge liimself will call in at some of them with that musket he got in exchange for his seat in the Senate. These men have nil nlong invoked the success of the rebels ; they have d ,pidt and opposed the Union ; several of their fiu. &'. have taken up arms in Confederate regiments, nnd now, under the name of supporting Breeken ridge, and of course the nrmy ho is in, they call tin organized Breekenridge meeting. This call is made tarty, nnd is intended to unite only the " destructive " element ; compromise, or any dilution of treason, being just what they don't want. That convention is intended to consist exclusively of the sharp set, wire-edged, traitors, unalloyed by nny mixture of conservative men, timid men, or honest men. It is designed to be a Breekenridge convention, nnd wi 1 bo worthy of the name. Does this spawn ofnn irregular faction, this bolting BreekeuriJgo commi.tec Assume to cill n convention of the democracy of Oregon ? If the democracy of the nation name candidate fr the Proideney in 1 SGI. does anybody suppose that he will be nominated by a convention called by the " national "Breeken ridge committee, of which Ild Stevens is Chair Man Does nny ono suppose that the loyal democracy will respond to such a call ? More titan half he members of that cmnuttee are tn opt it rebellion and more than half the voters they ' . . .i . i . i... represented iinoso oi me seceuen ouuesj are with them. And yet, tho Oregon branch of this ' abominable, piratical and traitorous ors.miz.ition, whose candidate, leaders, and rank and file are in the rebel army, have the impudence to call " democratic convention," and ask democrats who are not traitors to act and vote with them. That Oregon Breekenridge committee, of which (he absconded Brock was chairman, has no more right to call a convention of the democracy of Oregon than tho republican committee. The democracy supported the democratic candidate, Douglas Breekenridge, beside being a traitor riM a bolter. It his committee ana aectples in Oregoa wish io call a convention, tlio place to o 'i ' wncre nrecKennuge is, in xisic. 3,u(r. Wn. i V learn that parties from Victoria have con- traded with the steamer Jonathan," for ai bonus of 14,000 per month, f.r six months, to! run direct from San Jrrancisco to ictona and not touch at I ortland. In less than three months the will find inducements to break that; contract without Portland giving hor one cent, bonus, Mirk the pre 'i.-tion ! Times. no wotLD u is Tim Okeatest Losers is a War between the two Countries'! The French press is perfectly correct in saying that no .htiglisliman would willingly choose the present moment to inaugurate a war with Amer ica. In fact, it would require a provocation con siderably beyond the common range ot events to make such a war go down with lsntain, lor, say what you will of John Bull, his instinctive love ot fair play makes him recoil Iroin a quarrel with a country nlready so involved as the North; and if Mr Seward is ns calculating and unprin cipled as his enemies say ho is, ho probably reckons on tlio comparative impunity his misfor tunes give him. It is a dangerous game to play, und every American not blinded by pats'.on or prejudice must see this, it ho fairly allows him self to calculate the odds. Let it be assumed, for instance, that it is true, as is often stated, that Northern politicians count on a war with Britain as a means to end the secession by driving the South into united action in defense of the country. But what if the South should not join tho North against a foreign enemy There certainly seems but little encouragement to that notion in the present aspect of ullliirs. Might not Britain if driven to hostilities, make common cause with tho South by acknowledging its nationality, nnd thereby secure its co operation ? So far as its trade is concerned, Britain has but little to lose by a war with the North. Already we sutler as nuchas wo would be likely to do in a state of actual war, for our trade with the South is at nn end, and tho trade with tho North has fallen 00 per cent., at least, with small prospect of im proving so long as tlio Morrill taritr continues in force. In the event of tho war, and of the South refusing to act with tho Federal Govern ment as it is almost certain it would the great maratimc forco could without much difficulty end the blockade and re-open tho cotton trade. I am only giving you arguments that arc p itcnt enough, though they have not been hinted at by any but the Tory writers of great Britain, for as 1 have already said, such a war n to the last degree repugnant to the common feeling of Eng land, nnd it is therefore with deep regret, not unmixed with astonishment, that .hnglishmcn note tho angry tone of a largo section of tho Northern press nnd politicians toward this coun try. Britain is just about ns likely to carry fire and sword unprovokingly among its own subjects in Canada at present, us to invade the United States ; nnd ns every well informed American knows, such an invasion would bo profitless in the last degree for Britain, and contrary to nil her precedents and principles, tit least to all of modern date, he may calculate tor lnmscll tho precise vuluo of Mr. So ward, s proposal for a largo outlay on what seems to thinking men on this side of the Atlantic a very needless and very useless preparation ngainst fancied enemies. - Lieut. Cjl. Wistar, of tho California Regi ment, who behayjd so gallantly nt Bull's Blutr, has returned to Philadelphia. His surgeon be lieves that ho will recover from his wounds with but tin loss of a limb. His report will be made out as soon ns his health permits. Col. Wistar was a personal friend of tho lamented Co!. Baker, was with him in California, and joined him in Philadelphia to raise the regwnent of which he is the Lieut. Colonel commanding. Tho death of Baker is peculiarly distressing to him, and tho morj because ho is forced to the conclusion that that gallant officer, in his praise worthy desirj to conquer lha enemies of his country, exceeded tho orders of his command ing General. All deplore, with Col. Wistar, the sad loss of the patriot soldier and statesman, nnd no word of reproach is called for ngainst tho brave officer, who backed his judgment by his life. But justice to the living demands tho un biased relation of facts. It is rumord that the Administration w ill pro pose to Congress the adoption of a new fiscal system, whereby the independent treasury system will bo substantially abandoned, and a national paper currency, founded upon the credit of tho Government, be created. Treasury notes, payable to bearer, of the denomination of five dollars and upwards, will probably become a substitute for local bunk paper. Tub National Loan. Tbo National loan ac cording to San Francisco papers, is ns follows: In Sin rrancisco, a little less than $300,000; in Sacramento, a little over $80,000. From our own observations, when in tho mines and from what we have since learned, we are luliy ot tno oelier mat not lesitlian tliree millions; of dollars in gold dust was extracted from thejerjed to Richmond, and there surfl-red an ntn Nez Perces and Salmon mines, between the 1st i r.t.,finn nf .n f hU Il r-umn hr.KI.Hnrr day ot June and the last day ot December, lSlil, and tins was done ty the actual personal labor I .i .tiki .a .- .. i l ui icss uuui miners, unu uou aerage time at work on their claims in mining would no' exceed three moi.ths.

Scott left Washington for New York, where ho was received with much honor, the fol lowing scene occured nt the cars: Gen. McClellan, nt tho head of his staff pro ceeded to an inner room occupied by Gen. Scott and, removing his hut from his head, bowed before the veteran chief whom he had just suc ceeded. Gen. Scott, sitting, from inability to rise, extended his hand to his successor, nnd they talked for some minutes with hands clasped. In this position, Gen. Scott, drawing McClellan nearer to him, said : "General do not allow yourself to be embarrassed by men who do not comprehend this great question. Carry out your own ideas, act on your own judgment, nnd you will conquer, and tho Government will be vindicated. God bless you." Tho young chief- aiu's only reply wns : "I thank you, General, and I will not forg.:t your counsel. May you bo restored to health, and live to see your proph ecy fulfilled. God bj with you. Farewell." The way our naval officers on board of the blockading squadron receive news from Ntw Orleans is thus referred to in a communication from one of tho vessels otF that port : " The ofli cers and crew of tho blockading squadron wish to thank their friends in New Orleans, and on the Mississippi, for tho news sent to them in bottles, sealed and floated down tho river, and can best do so through tho New York Herald, which is so much read everywhere. Now that we know the bottles are coming, we nro constantly on the lookout for them. They bring us lato and wel come news. L,ioit bottles are tho best, such us claret, hock or champagne, which may be filled witli slips from newspapers nnd letters, nnd if properly sealed, they reach us safe nnd dry. We would ask nil our Union friends in New Orleans, Cairo, and in Commodore Foote's squadron, to send us news in bottles, floated down tho river, and wo may, at times, co-operate with them in giving' firo to fire eaters,' those unfortunates of .IC-.lt, rt 1 t mo oouui,' wno suiiereu so mucn irom our op pressive Government.' " Neoro Regiments in Virginia. Tho negro regiment in Virginia id thus described by the Washington Republican : " We learn by a gen tleman direct from the upper Potomac, that Gen. Jackson is now at Winchester, Virginia, in com mand of a regiment of negroes j that they ure fully armed and equipped, nnd nro being thor oughly drilled. This information comes to us from a source entitled to credit, and from recent developments in other slave States, we apprehend that arming tlio lu-groos against US IS now tho settled policy of the reoels. From the first these men have been used for tho benefit of the rebel nrmy, either in building its fortifications, supplying it with tho means of sustenance, in working their guns, or doing the drudgery of the camp, and now, when they can be of moro service under arms, they are enrolled into regiments, to become apart of their fighting element." Negro Conduct at Beaufort. The following is an extract from a private letter from nn officer engaged in tho bombardment of Port IJoyal : " Our success has been complete, nnd terror runs over the whole country. Tho negroes are wild, nnd nre plundering their masters' houses. Tho whites have been driving the negroes nway by force, nnd shooting them down, but they still come to tho gunboats. The moment Gen. Dray ton took to his horse in tho panic of the 7th, his 200 servants went directly to tho Wabash. This is worthy of notice ns putting dow n the nonsense that tho slaves are ready to figth for their mas ters. They surrounded Capt. Anunen in crowds nt Beaufort, and ono of them called out in tho joy of his heart, I didn't think you could do it, massa. The Richmond Whin says that the Confeder ate arm in Virginia is recognized. The State is constituted a department, comprising tho three armies off tho Potomac, tho Valley and Aquui, under the chief command of Gen, Johnson. Gen. Biauregard commands the army of the Potomac ; Gen. Thomas Jackson that of tho Valley, and Gen. Holmes, Aquai. Tho army of the Potomac comprises four divisions ; tho first, including tho Valley, under Gen. Dorn ; second, G. W. Smith ; third, Gen. Longstrect ; fourth, Gen. Kitby Smith. O.vg Leo More for His Countrv. During the recent visit of Secretary Cameron to New York, a member of the 79th Ilcgimont, w ho was in the battle of Bull linn, and near Col. C.imeron when he fell, called upon the Secretary. l hd l-nn Roverr-.lv wounded, t.iken nrisimi-r. jllt0 the Secretary's room on crutches, and be"- 0 ,e permitted to en to war a"ain savin" . . ' .... . ' that he thought ho could still be of service to the country, even on crutches. Mr. Cameron did not question his capacity, but told him the first preliminary was to get a mate to his remaining extremity. Tho man said he coiil In't afford that, and insisted on the validity of crutches. Mr. Cameron then told him to go to a limb seller's and buy the best i he could find, and send the bill to him. The wounded soldier went his way rejoicing. We lenrn from thn Denver nanrrs that the Legislature of Colorado Territory has passed a bill locating tho Capital of the Territory at Col- orado city Ihe Ooverner nas not yet approved the bill Ciiasce for a Diviiiksd. The New Orleans Picayune says the heavy growth of grass in some of the streets of that city " would pay the mower for his trouble." As the creditors of New Orleans have not teen paid a red for six months, we advise them to raise the wind as the owners of a N-w Jersey canal did. Tho only : dividend they ever mad.-, was when thr-y mowed the tow path nnd divided the Iny. A Happy New Year! FrlenilyOreetlng to Old Friends'and Patrons ! READ," HEED, r AND ! REFLECT!
