A patriotic Civil War war lyric urging fresh enlistment with vivid scenes across valleys and farms. The narrator vows to march to Richmond and beyond, honoring fallen kin as six hundred thousand before them are named, with references to New York Post.
In Camden New Jersey last week James W Scovel urged fierce action against the rebellion saying the nation must sacrifice all to save the Republic. He cited Otis Jones and Paul Jones to embolden young men to fight and avenge the dead for liberty and national honor.
The piece questions why enslaved workers on public projects are paid to rebel owners or rebels themselves and asks why the government does not seize these slaves and use their wages to relocate them abroad. It also questions why rebel officials retain office and salaries. It then shifts to a reflected anecdote about a French victory and a critique of learned men.
A philosophical tale follows Memory and Hope as they tour the world testing youth and aging. Hope argues future happiness outshines the past while Memory warns of deception. They meet a schoolboy and a girl named Anne and observe youthful longing before confronting an aged man whose misery recalls past promises.
A wandering pair, Hope and Memory, meet an aged cottage resident who laments lost childhood joys. A passing old man joins and recalls ruined hopes, while Memory admits past deception and reunites with Hope. They vow to wander together. Promptness in duties strengthens resolve, and a deacon’s tale urges gentleness with the wayward.
A penniless British-guarded escapee, William Ruggles, cloaked as a beggar, infiltrates Philadelphia. He seeks aid from his mother, hides in a loft, and narrowly escapes capture after disguising his route with a rope and brickwork. He vows resistance to tyranny as conditions in the army deteriorate.
