THE DAILY NEWS. Music in Camp. BT JOHN" H. TH0MP30M. Two armies covered hill and olaia, Where Bappahannock's waters Bah deeply crimsoned with thc stain Of battle's recent slaughters. The summer clouds lay pitched like tents In meads of heavenly azure; And each dread gun of the element* Slept in its bid embrasure. The breezo so softly Mew it made No forest leaf to quiver. And the smoko of the random cannonade Rolled slowly from tho river. And now, whore circling bilis looked down With cannon grimly planted, O'er listless camp and silent town, The golden sunset slanted. When on the fervid sir there came A strain, now rich, now tender; The mu"lc seemed itself aflame With day's departing splendor. A Federal band, which eve and morn Played measures brave and nimble, Had just 6track up with flute and horn And lively clash ol cymbal. Down flocked the soldiers to the banks. Till margined by its pebbles, One wooded shore was blue with "Tanks," And one was gray with "Hebels." Then all was still, and then the band, With movements light and tricksy, Made stream and forest, hill and strand, Reverberate wlih "Dixie." The conscious stream, with burnished glow, Went proudly o'er its pebbles. But thrilled throughout its deepest flow With yelling of the rebels. Again a pause, and then again The trumpets pealed sonorous, And "Yankee Doodle" was the strain To which the shore gave chorus. The laughing ripple shoreward flew To kiss the seining pebbles; Loud shrieked the swarming boys in blue Defiance to the rebels. And yet once more the bugles sang Abovo the stormy riot; No shout upon the evening rang There reigned a holy quiet The sad, low stream its noiseless tread Poured o'er the glist'ning pebbles, And silent now the Yankees stood, And silent stood the rebel". No unresponsive soul had heard That plaintive note's appealing, So deeply "Home, sweet home" had stirred The bidden founts of leeling. Or brae or gray the soldier ECCE, As by the wand of fairy. The cottage 'neath the Uve oak trees, The cabin by the prairie. Or cold or warm, his native ski os Bend lu their beauty o'er bim; Seen through the tear-mist in his oyes, His loved ones stand before him. As fades the Iris after rain, In April's tearful weather, The vision vanished as the strain, And daylight died together. But memory, waked by music's art Expressed m simplest numbers. Subdued tue sternest Yankee's heart Made light the rebels slumbers. And fair the form of music shines, That bright celestial creature, Who still, 'niid war's embattled lines, Gave this ono touch bf nature. Burlingame'* Account of bis Chinese Appointment. The State Department has received the foHowing letter from Mr. Burlingame : . SHANGHAI, December ll, 1867. ?Sir- You will have learned from my telegram from Pekin of my appointment by the Chinese Government as Envoy to tho treaty Powers, and of mv acceptance of the same. The facts in regard to the appointment are os follows : I was in the Percipy, proceeding to the treaty ports of China, to ascertain what changes our citizens desired to have made in, the treaties, provided a revision should be determined upon ; after which it was my intention to resign and go home. The knowledge of this intention coming to the Chinese, Prince Sung gave a farewell dinner, at which great regret was ex? pressed at my resolution to leave 'China, and urgent requests were made that I would1, like Sir Frederick Bruce, state China's difficulties and inform the treaty Powers of their eincero desire to be friendly and progressive. This I cheerfully promised to do. During the conversation, Wensiang, a lead- ? ing man .of the empire said: "Why will you not repr?sent ns officially ?" I repulsed the suggestion playfully, and the conversation passed- to other, topics. Subsequently I was infoimed that the Chinese were most desirous, and a request was made through Mr. Brown. Secretary of the British Legation, that I should delay my departure for a few days, until a proposition could be submitted to me. I had no further conversation with them until the proposition was- made in form requesting me to act for them as Ambassador to ail the treaty Powers. r 1 had in the interim, thonght anxiously upon the subject, and, alter consultation with, my friends,- de tel mined, in- the interests of our conntry and civilization, to accept. The mo? ment tho position was formally tendered I in? formed my colleagues of all the facts, and am happy to.aay that they approved- of the action of the'Chinese, and did all they could to for? ward, the interests of tho mission*. J. McLean Brown; Chin*Be Secretary of the-Brltish Lec? tion, was persuaded, ira th3 common, interest, to act as Post Secretary, to tha . Mission ; and Mr. Dechamus, a french,gentieman, who had aoBOmpaaWd-'-PTarig on a visit to Europe, waa. sol?etelas' SeconCv?ecr?(?iry. .''. ?

I may he permitted to add'that when the oldestma?on in the world, containing one-third of the buman race, seeks, lor the first time, .to come into relations with the West, and re? quests the youngest nation, through its repre? sentative, to act as the medium of such change, the mission is one not to be solicited or rejected. Dr. B. Williams, for the sixth time, has been left in (marge of the United States Legation in China, and is in every respect competent to continue its affairs. . . Permit me to request the government most earnestly not to name my successor until I can ?'ve it information which may be useful in ma? nga selection.

The market, alter advancing, fell back to 23a23?c. Nothing WJs done on Saturday, on account of its being Washington's birthday, and the New York market being closed in consequence. On Monday the market opened steady, with but little demand. Some lair prices were obtaiued early in the day, but the cable advices received at ll o'clock being unfavorable caused buyer; to withdraw, while holder? were more anxious to seU. There waa a mod ar ate demand later in the day, but the market closed duh and unsettled. The^ continued gloomy accounts from abroad causee, the market to open quiet on Tuesday, buyers being very cautious and offering prices below the ideas of holders. Few sales were made until toward poon, when there wa? a little better feeling, and buy? ors were more disposed to accede to the views of holders. An advance of !?c in New York, reported toward the close of the day, caused our mark, t to close Atm. On Wednesday morning a slight advance in Liver? pool causee holders to be more firm. Buyers were out early, and a good business was done tor a rime, but unfavorable a .vices from Liverpool checked transactions, aa holders were nc-t disposed to sell at the prices offered by buyers. To-day the market optned quite firm, holders showing no disposition to realize.

A Pare, Unmixed, Natural Uuano. as Fine as Floor (although not Ground), just In the Condition in which it is Imported from thc Island. THIS GUANO 18 FROM A RECENTLY DIS? COVERED deposit on Rodunda Island, in the Carrtbcan Sea, Wfbt Indies, latitude 16 decrees 56 minutes north, longitude 02 degrees 23 minutes west It has been used for many year* in the West India Islands in the cultivation ol'Sugar Cano and cereals with great success; was introduced for tue first time to the/armers and planters' of tho Unit-d States m tho spring of 1866, and lias met wi h unprecedented success, anthe subjoined reports and testimonials tul? ly coirobonte. The RODUNDA GUANO ia not aminora! phos? phate, re qui r r. g the action of tho Sulphuric Acid to render it soluble; its groat power as a fertilizer is in ita entire solubility, without thc aid of acid, lt is not a "manipulation" or Compound of r ish or Flesh with Mineral Phosphates, tho regularity of which is I always uncertain and dependent upon, and control! ed by the honesty ol tho manufacturer. The ito DUNDA ia a PURE NATURAL GUANO (that term being understood tornean the excremeut of fish-eat? ing birds), as the large per centage of organic mat? ter sufficiently attests, and as found upon the Island of Rodunda, In the very state as imported and sold to consumers. The regularity and uni form tty of the fineness and condition of the various cargoes already import?d by us into the United States, tested by thu analysis of the most eminent Chemists of this country and Eu rope, is sufficient proof of iii origin and a guarantee of our ability to furnish this Guano of the quality and purity represented. The PRICE of the ltODUNDA GUANO ie not the least unimportant ?in these day? ot agricultural com? petition aud pecuniary embarrassment. The very low price at which lt can be sold places it within the reach ot every farmer, and avoids the risk of large loss frequently incurred by failures of tho crops in tue purchase of high priced fertilizers. < In the preparation of lands fer Wheat and other cereals this Guano po?tesses properties that render it moro desirable for these crops than any yet offered to the public. Pamphlets containing tho analysis and experi? ments made bv the m< ?rt prominent Chemists of this country and in Europo, together with innumerable certificates of its entire success' irom farmers and planters, can be obtained at our OfBco, to which we invite attention.
