No liudolctl bar his collar bears,
No epaulette or star,
With flitter bright his mind to charm
Amid the din c?!" war!
i SnL ill his soyl the sacred lijrlit.
Of Liberty burns clear ami bright:
A private in the ranks !
Airfl not to win the bar or stripe
lie rushes to the lijjht ;
But strong ol'nrni ami stern ot heart,
fie battles lor the fj;_rht
lie knows no voice but duty's call.
And breasts the bullets?si ami <>r fall,
Tlio private in the ranks ! ?
All, all have conic! the nation's cry
lias throbbed their hearts anions:,
Ami mother, with or maiden lair.
Must "sutler and bo stroiii*;"
The sire with scarce a year to live,
The boy with all his life to tfive,
Are privates in tlie ranks!
And when the quick electric Hash
Proclaims the battle doi,u\
llov many hearts exulting throb,
Anothn victory wan !
And search the death lists eagerly
For ifimes they'd rather die than set,
Of privates in the ranks!
' The meed of praise we gladly j;ive
To all wiit? dare the scars,
And care, but little what they wear,
Coarse jjrey, or stars, or bars; .
Put most our iuvq to tlio-e bcloitirs
Who bravely fieri11. their country's wrongs,
Are privates in the ranks !

The London Meruit/'/ fit raldy of the 2d .June,
. says:
"The Danish Conference met yesterday at;
one o'clock, and sal till live, all the mouthers
being present. We understand that the Cler.
man-plenipotentiaries demand the cession ol
Flensbttrg and Duppel, while the neutral-Lowers
adhere to the line of the Sell lei and the
Datniowor.ko :is the Danish frontier. It is stated
that, the representatives of 1 Icmuark desire
that the (JeVman Lowers and the neutrals
should come to an agreement upon the subject
before calling upon Denmark to give her answer.
A proposal was also made and accepted
ail referendum for the prolongation of the
* i!/!t*i i *
amusiH-i". iiiu'cm <i:iys; ?>n the coieJition thai
no further extension should take plane unless
the basis-of a peace were agreed upon. Tiie
Conference will meet again on Monday." The
Time says : UAI1 account, represent, the feeling
in the. Danish capital us warlike beyond all
former example. Tim Danes (vill not. make peace
on the basis of jiving up everything thateonhl
possibly bo lost by war. They are making the
most of their fleet,they are strengthening theii
defences, and are ready t<> try the chances ol
another campaign. They know that even
non-intervening England and unsympathetic
France can never allow their*country to lu
blotted ont .of the list, of nations, They may
lose much, but they cannot lose all. In these
circumstances it is needless to say that the

The hat was passed roifnd in a certain con

for the purpose of taking up a collection. Aftci
it made the circuit of the church it was handct
to the minister, who by the way, had "exchnng
cd pulpits' with the regular preacher, and he
found not a penny in it. He inverted the ha
over the pulpit cushion and shook it, that it:
emptiness might be known, then looking to
wards the ceiling, he exclaimed with g?ea1
fervor, "I, thank (iod that I got back my lial

Gen. Jospeli E. Johnston.
A correspondent of the Mobile Register,
writing Iron) the front, paystho following just
tribute to the commanding General of the army
of Tennessee:
Gen. Johnston is more than a .match for
Sherman, took at his military career cversiuce
the war commenced?how lie held Yorktown,
with less than 15,000 men against over
125,000 Yankees under McCIc'Han, and when 1
he did retreat look how be turned on his pur- 1
sucrs at Williamsburg, gaining a decided victory
with greatly inferior numbers. Hut for his
untimely accident at Seven Pines, what a signal
and glorious victory he would have'gained
there. With only a handful of men at Jackson
lie could not be expected to do anything, when
he had no transportation, ami tlie enemy were
four times his number. At. I>alton lie offered
battle, am) did everything in his power to bring 1
on an engagement, although the enemy were
very nearly twice his number; had he succeeded
in inducing Sherman to attack him, every <?nu
knows who was at Idallon that we would have (
annihilated their whole army.. I In only evacuated
the town alter the whole of their army
had abandoned our front, and were threatening
our communication \\ilh our rear.' At llesaca
we o!h*red them hatile, and succeeded in bringj
iug on a partial engagement. Who eould witness
the intrepid coolness with which our men |
charged the eiicluv, and douht that we would
he successful ? (due brigade (Clayton's Alabama)
charged over twenty thousand Yankees
in a Ibrtilied position, inflicting great damage
to the enemy and sustaining a severe loss themselves,
and only retired when positive orders
; were received to fall hack.
! .(Iciieral Johnston is the bravest aid most,
I cool 111:111 when under tire that 1 ever saw.
| 11 e is almost reckless with his own- life, but,
j is exceedingly careful with the lives of his men.
| 1 saw some eight or ten Yankee cannon open
on one i?l our batteries a little, to the right of the
little town of Uesaea. They were firing with
great fury and precision, throwing sand skv
high, and had already filled several soldiers at
the <?U 11s of the battery, when Gen. .lobnston
rode up. He dismounted, gave his horse in
charge of his Orderly, ami coolly mounted the
: parapet of the battery, so as to observe the
tiring of the enemy. They could plainly ace
j him, for they were not fverv far distant." Thfcir
! tiring was very accurate. General .Johnston
had not bean on the parapet ever live minutes
w lift a shell buried itself in the ground within j
live prices of him, throwing dust all over his
1 clothes. This did not seem to move him at all;
1 1... 1:1 .1 ? ?
. in-, uiu not notice 11, i?ui stood calmly looking
i at the living of the enemy until it slackened.
For over an hour the shells were falling and
. bursting all around him. It is unfortunate
\ that lie should be. so reckless with his life, for
if lie should be killed or wounded, it would
have a most demoralizing cilcct upon his
troops, who fair!}7 idolize him. General Bragg
had the respect of his tfoops?-I speak of the
; privates?and they had every confidence in
' him, but General Johnston is loved by tbem ;
he undergoes the same hardships as the privates?does
not even have a tent to sleep in.
1 have seen him sleeping on the ground under
' a tree, with only one blanket under him.?
' Think of that, you home soldiers, Joe. John!
ston, the commander-in-chief of one of your
largest armies?one, on whom to a great exJ
tent, depends the fate of the Confederacy?
sleeping on the ground ! Oh, ye street corner
; Generals, who are censuring liiin for falling
hack so far, what say you to this act of true
nobleness? Docs this satisfy yon ? Or must the
man who so freely poured out his blood at
Seven Vinos, be doomed to the same unpleasant
criticisms as it pleased you to bestow on
his illustrious namesake, Albert Sidney John'
ston.

The news I rout James Island during the past two
days has presented no feature of especial interest.
The enemy sceiii.s to retain his footholu upon the island.
and his forces werp drawn up in line of battle all
day Tuesday, confronted by our own troops. Some
skirmishing took place during the day, and a is stated
that we had a few of our men, belonging to the 1st
South Carolina Artillery and 32d Georgia! wounded.
"Wc could learn no names. Two monitors, in eonjunction
with the wooden gunboats in tho Stono, were

At the beginning of the winter they were ,in
conversation, and X being a bachelor, asked
of Y, w!k> was just married?"flow do you

there is nothing like being married. You can-not
imagine how'lwtppy 1 am. When 1 am at
work my wife is at my side, ami at the conclusion
of each paragraph I embrace her. That is
charming.'' "Now I understand," X retorted,
"why your paragraphs "are so short." This
Conversation soon spread, and from that time
'l's articles were consulted by 1he public, as the
thermometer of his conjugal felicity. l.Miring
