UNTIL DEATH.
BV FLORENCE FEBCV.
Make me no vows of constancy, dear friend—
I To love me, though I die, thy whole life long,
; And lore no other till thy days shall end—
Nay —it were rash and wrong.
j If thou ean'st love another, be it so;
I would not reach out of my quiet grave
• To bind thy heart, if it should choose to go-
Love should not he a slave.
My placid ghost. I trust, will walk serene
tn clearer light than gilds these earthly morns.
Above the jealousies and envies keen
YV hich sow this life with thorns.
Thou would'st not feel my shadowy caress,
If, after death, my soul should linger here :
Men's hearts crave tangible, close tenderness,
Love's presence warm and near.
It would not make me sleep more peacefully
That thou wert wasting all thy life in woe
For my poor sake; what love thou hast for me
Bestow it 'ere I go.
Carve not upon a stone when I am dead
The praises which .remorseful mourners give
:To women's graves—a tardy recompense-
But speak them while I live.
Heap not the heavy marble on my head,
To shut away the sunshine and the dew:
Let small blooms grow there, and the grasses wave,
And rain drops fitter through.
Thou will meet many fairer and more gay
Than I—but trust me thou canst never find
One who will love and serve thee, night and day,
With a more single mind.
Forget me when T die ; the violets
Above my rest will blossom just as blue,
, .N.r iniss thy tear?: ev'u Nature's self forgets :
But while I live, be true.
ADHAOAJI LINCOLN.
Oh, slow to smite and swift to spare,
Gentle, and merciful, anljust!
Who, in the fear of God, did'st bear
The sword of power—a nation's trust.
In sorrow by tby bitr we stand,
Amid the awe that bushes all,
And speak the anguish of a land
That shook with horror at thy fall.
Thy task is done—the bond are free—
We bear thee to an honored grave,
Whose proudest monument shail be
The broken fetters of the slave.
| Pure was thy life, its bloody close
Hath placed thee with the sons of light,
Among the noble hosts of those
Who perished in the cause of right.

GRANT'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
The following is General Grant's reply to
the nomination of the Chicago Convention:
WASHINGTON, P. C., MAY 29, 1868. —
Got. JJS. R. llatclcy, President National
I /uon Republican Convention: —ln formal
ly accepting the nomination of the National
Union Republican Convention of the 21st
of May iust., it seems proj>er that some
statement of my views Vx>youd the mere ac
ceptance of the nomination should be ex
pre-ed. Hie proceedings of the Conven
tion were marked with wisdom, moderation
and patriotism, and I believe express the
feelings of the great mass of those who sus
tained the country through it- trial. I in
' dorse their resolutions. If elected to the
; office of President of the United States, it
will be my endeavor to administer all the
i laws in good faith, with economy, and with
j the view of giving peace, quiet and protec
; lion everywhere. In times like the present
; it is impossible, or at least eminently im
proper, to lay down a ] ujlicy to lie adhered
; to. riirlit or wrong, through an administra
, tion of four years. New political issues, not
i foreseen, are constantly arising; the views
: of the public on old ones arc constantly
i changing, and purely administrative officers
! should always be left free to execute the
i will of the ]>eop!e. I have always resected
I that wiil and always shall. Peace, and uni
versal prosperity, its sequence, with ccono
i my of administration, will lighten the bur
' den of taxation, while it constantly reduces
ihe national dtflt. Let us have peace.
With great respect, your obedient servant.

COLFAX'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
WASHINGTON, May 30, 1868. — Ron. .J.
R. Ilicle>j, President of the National Union
' RepvMican Convention: DKAH Slß:—The
j platform adopted by tlic patriotic Conven
| tiou over which you presided, and the reso
lutions which so happily supplement it. so
entirely airree with my views as to a just
national policy, that my thanks are due to
the delegates, as much for this clear, con
spicuous declaration of principles as for the
nomination with which I have been honor
ed. and which I gratefully accept.
When a great reliellion. which imperiled
the national existence, was at last over
thrown, the duty of all others devolving on
those entrusted with the responsibilities of
legislation, evidently was to require that the
revolted States should be admitted to par
ticipation in the Government against which
j they hn<l warred, only on such a hasis as to
i increase and fortify, not to weaken or en
danger. the strength and power of the na
' tion. Certainly no one ought to have
claimed that they should lie readmitted un
; der such rule; that their organization as
States could ever again be used, as at the
opening of the war. to defy the national
.authority, or to destroy the national unity.
This principle has been the pole star of
those who have inflexibly insisted on the
Congressional policy your convention so
cordially endorsed. Baffled by Executive
opposition and persistent refusals to accept
any plan of reconstruction proffered by Con
gress. justice and public safety at last com
bined to teach us that only by an cnlarge-
I nient of suffrage in those States could the
desired end lie attained, and that it was
even more safe to give the ballot to those
who loved the Union than to those who
had sought ineffectually to destroy it The
u-.-ured success of this legislation is being
written on the adamant of history, and will
lie our triumphant vindication. More ele&r
, Iv, too, than ever before does the nation
i recognize that the greatest glory of a repub
lie is that it throws the shield of its protec
tion over the humblest and the weakest of
its i>eo] le, and vindicates the rights of the
poor and the powerless as faithfully .as those
of the rich and the powerful.
I rejoice, too, in this connection, to find
in your platform the frank and fearless
avowal that naturalized citizens must be
protected abroad at every hazard, as though
they were native bom. Our whole pc ;ic
are foreigners or descendants of foreigners,
and our father- •• tablished by arms a right
to be called a nation. It remains for ns to
establish the right to welcome to our shores
all who are willing by oaths of allegiance to j
.3 ILocal atth ©tneral JBtctospaper, Drbotrb to jtolifag, education, Utrtaturr anh JFtovals
i become American citizens. Perpetual alle
; giance as claimed abroad is only anoth r
name for perpetual bondage, and would
make all slaves to the soil where first they
'saw the light.
Our rational cemeteries prove how faith
fully these oaths of fidelity to their adopted
land have been sealed in the life blood of
thousands uj>on thousands. Should we not.
then, be faithless to the dead, if we did not
protect their living brethren in the full en
joyment of that nationality for which, side
by side with tlie native born, our soldiers of
foreign birth laid down their lives?
It was fitting, too, that the represents-1
tives of party which had proved so true to
national duty in time of war should speak
so clearly iu time of peace for the mainte- !
nance untarnished of the national power,
national credit, aud good faith as regards it
debt. the cost of our national existence. I
do not need to extend this reply by further
comment on a platform which has elicited
Mich hearty approval throughout the land.
The debt of gratitude is acknowledged to
i the brave men who saved the Union from
! destruction, the frank approval of amnesty
based on repentance aud loyalty.
The demand for the most thorough econ
omy and honesty in the Government, the
sympathy of the party of liberty with all
throughout the world who long for the liber
ty we here enjoy, and the recognition of the
sublime principles of the Declaration of In
dependence, are worthy of the organization
on whose banners they arc to be written iu
the coming contest. Its past record cannot
Ixi blotted out or forgotten. If there had
been no Republican party slavery would to
day cast its baleful shadow- over the Repub
lic. If there had been no Republican party
a free press and free speech would be as un
known from the Potomac to the Rio Grande
as ten years ago.
If the Republican party could have been
stricken from existence when the banner of
rebellion was unfurled, and when the res
ponse of no coercion was heard at the North,
we would have had no nation to-day. But
for the Republican party daring to risk the
odium of tax and draft laws, our flag could
not have been kept flying in the field till the
j long hoped for victory came. Without a
Republican party the civil rights bill, the
guarantee of equality under the law to the
humble and the defenceless as well as to the
; strong, would not be to-day upon our nation
; al statute book.
With such inspirations from the past and
j following the example of the founders of the
I Republic, who called the victorious general
| ofthc Revolution to preside over the land
j his triumphs had saved from its enemies, I
I cannot doubt that our labors will be crowned
with success; and it will be a success which
i shall bring restored hope, confidence, pros
jx-rity, and progress South as well as North.
West and East. and, above all, the blessings
under Providence of national concord and
peace. Very trulv. yours,
BCHI'YI.ER COLFAX.

"Why," sed I to Randall, who sat moody ,
and alone, "don't yoo and the President j
share in the gencial exileration? He doesn t
seem to be the least eggseited."
"Why shood we?" retorted he. "Doth ;

The Black Crook is rather startlin to the j
beholder from the front, but to the mana
ger who contracted fur the legs at so much
a pair, and arranged the tabloo, it aint so
startlin.
"Tbinkst thou the new programc will
result ez the President hopes?"
"No, the new party can't succeed, no !
more than our last veneher did. It ain t
made up uv the rite material. There,s
more intellect than sole in in it —more i
bowels than heart. There's Chase, Fessen- j
den, Trumbull and Grimes. Chase hez j
ambition, Grimes hate, and Trumbull and i
Fessenden dyspep,-ia, making the ingregen
cies in the new organization half ambition;
and hate and half dyspepsia. Never trust a j
uian whose stumick is out uv order—take
no stock in him whose bowels is unsound.
Intelleck is nothin, heart is nothin, unless
there's a stumack under them on which to
build, Chase hez no conshence, Trumbull
and Fessenden no gastric joose. Sieh men
alluz conspire and alluz fail. Still, I'm glad
the thing's occurred."
"Ef it amounts to nothin, why glad?"
"Becoz it lets Johnson and meout. When |
Arnold went back on his countrymen, his
countrymen forgot Joodis Iskariot; when
Aron Burr ariz, they to wunst forgot ■
Arnold; Pierce drove Burr out of the public j
mind. Bookanan, made em forget Pierce,
Johnson made em forget Bookanan, and
now Chase and Trumbull will make em 1
forget Johnson and me. That's what i
I was drivin at. Under the storm I j
shell leave for my quiet Wisconsin j
home and live in peecc, for beside these |
later cusses I sheis iouui uu iuiu eotnt •*, I
tive respectability." Good nite. All is 1
well." •
At a late hour I retired to my virchus
couch, and fallin into the deep sleep which
only visits the pillers uv them whose
ohonshences aint bothered much, uv whom I
am wich, ez my conshence sheds convick
shen uv wrath to come ez a duck does spring
rain, 1 dreamed a most curis dream.
Methawt the Presidenshel course wus reely
andtrooly a race course, and the candidates
hed to run that course, the winner uv the
race to be glorified. At one end uv the
track wuz a weighiu stand and at the other
the winner's posr, which wuz the While
House. The runners wuz to carry the can
didates for Vice President and sich other
weights ez their backers shood put onto cm.
The Republicans hed Grant on the:
ground promptly and ready for the race.
He come up splendid. He wuzn'tso mighty
immence, but ho wuz clean limbed, decently
developt all over and showed first-rate in
the back and loins. His trainers pulled off
his shoulders a few little dead weights which
some uv his iujoodishus backers hed chuck t
onto him, sposin he cood carry everything.
Wade vaulted onto his shoulders and he
wuz ready.
Our people lied some difficulty in sclectin
a man to run agin him. Pendleton wuz
trotted out, but Belmont pcrnounced bim
unfit; McClellan next, but Vorhees objcctid.
Finally Chase wuz selected to run the ap
pintid race, and he wuz brot to the weighin
stand. To the naked rye he wuz a splen
did specimen, and he came up to the stand
-o gallant that notwithstanding he carried
in his hand a silver pitcher wich the niggers
uv Cincinnati give him fordefendin a fugi
tive from Kentucky, our people cheered
vociferous. Tall, strong and muskier look
in, in good flesh, deep chested, broad-shoul
dered, strong backt. he wuz ez perfect a
specimen ez I ever beheld, and all felt con
fident that he would hev no trouble in beat
in his opponent out uv site. He come up
to the stand gorgeous, accompanied by
Trumbull, Fessenden, Grimes, Johnson,
and sich, who hed him in tow.
At this pint Vallandygum, Peers, Vor
hees, Morrissey and Wood, who hed charge
uv our arrangements, took him in hand,
"We must prepare our man," sod they.
"Take orf this ahlishin coat." sed Voor
hecs.
"And this imparshel suffrage vest," sed
Morrissey, "the nigger hezn't the moral
qualifications for the ballot."
"And this free soil shirt," sed Wood.
"And that anti-fugitive slave law wig,"
sed VoorLees.
"And them ckal justis shoulder-braces,"
sed Feerse.
"And them humanitarian pants," shreek
ed Wood.
"We can't abide none uv these things,"
yelled the crowd. "Peel! peel! AH uv
these you got from the ablishnists, free-soil
ersand Republicans. We'll noneuv'em."
The silver pitcher he carried in his hand
they trampled into the mud. and one by
one the obnoxious garments wuz pulled off
from him. Heavens! Wat a change. Fz
they wuz removed he shrunk. When the
coat wuz taken off be wuzn't so broad and
massive; when the vest wuz gone he wuz
positively flat chested; when the shoulder
braces wuz removed he became humpback
ed: and when the pants wuz snaked off he
stood afore us the merest skeleton I everbe
held—a weak, shaky whrezin skeleton. Our
folks looked disappointed, but it wuz too
lute to change. A loose two sided wrapper
was thrown over hiin, Governor F.ngli-h
eiiincd into his shoulders, Vallandygum
jumped into one pockit and Fernandy Wod
into the other, the brass band tooted, the
crowd yelled, he made one oonvuisir start,
but in vain. The stuffnin wuz all out uv
him. His poor week knees gave way, his
back doubled up and he came to the ground,
every boae in him rattlin cz he fell, while
Grant made the race serenely.
sed Morrissey, looking at the
poor wreck, ' what he got from the ablish
nists wuz all ther wuz of him, after all"
At. this pint I awoke, and wuz saddaned.
There's where our trouble lies. We hev to
strip these fellows when they come to us uv
ali that give em any strength. Chase with

CONSPIRACY IN TIIE SENATE.
The editor of the New York Independent,
who throughout the impeachment trial was
a close observer of the proceedings, in the
following manner gives his opinion of the
seven recusant Senators:
The storm of indignation which rages in 1
VTashingtori against Fessenden and Trum
bill is not on account of their votes against
inpeachment, but on account of their con
cealment and deception previous to those
*otes. No just man would condemn either
♦f those gentlemen, or any of their associ
ates. for rendering a verdict according to
his individual conscience, however such a
verdict might be out of harmony with I
popular sentiment. But never in the j
legislative experience of the oldest Senator ■
has such a trick been played on the Senate '
is that by which Fessenden deceived his
own colleague, Morrill; Trumbull his own
jolleague, Yates; Henderson is own col
league, Drake: and Ross his own colleague,
Pomeroy.
After the close of Bingham's argument, a
majority of the court desired to proceed,
after a brief consultation, to a final vote.
To this Fessenden objected, in a speech
which, for a man of his unvelvety tempera
ment, was unusually and unconstitutionally
blani—asking for a delay on the ground
that he had not yet made up his judgement;
that during the whole trial he had endeav
ored to keep his mind open; that Bingham
bad presented several points which were
novel and worthy of further consideration,
and that he wished an opportunity, quietly
and at home, to re-examine the argument
and evidence. After this speech, Morrill,
his colleague, went round from desk to de.-k
in tlie Senate Chamber, and privately begged
for this indulgence to his colleague, ex
pressing at the same time great confidence
that Fessendcn's views would be found not
much out of harmony with the views of the
majority of his friends. A brief delay was
accordingly granted; after which, on Mon
day, May 11, the Senators were to compare
views in secret session, and on Tuesday,
May 12, to vote in ouen con" During
.'luuuaj's eompari.-ou of views, to the
amazement of all the impeaching Senators,
but to the perfect knowledge of the Copper
heads and their allies, Fe.-senden delivered
a manuscript speech—voluminous, elaborate
and technical—one of the most pains-taking
and long-wrought papers which he ever pro
duced —a piece of composition which, in the
judgment of his brother Senators, must
have taken him many days to prepare, re
fine and polish. This unexpected document
instantly produced upon the minds of his
cm peers the painful but unavoidable con
viction that he had solicited a delay, not for
the -like of settling his mind, lut for the
sake of polishing his periods. Such a piece
of sharp practice had not been expected from
a man possessing as much pride of honor as
Fessenden; and it filled his associates with
mingled surprise, sorrow and iudignation.
Meanwhile Trumbull had been playing a
similar game. Alter telling his colleague,
Yates, that he had prepared nothing at all,
he rose twenty minutes afterward aud gave
one of the moet elaborate of his speeches,
delivering it with such tremor in his voice
and such pallor in his countenance as to be
tray an unwonted and almost unnatural ex
citement. A thunderbolt falling through
the glass roof of the Senate Chamber would
not have more thoroughly surprised the
Senate than Trumbull's announcement of
his position. Down to the very last mo
ment. he had successfully cajoled his most
iniiniate friends amongthe Illinois members
of the Lower House, who, aftei his speech,
were so shocked by his deceitful behavior
toward themselves that they almost entirely
forgot the greater injury which he was in
flicting on the country.
Ross, of Kansas, repeatedly and solemnly
assured his colleague, down to the very last
day before the vote, and repeated this assur
ance to various other Senators and members,
that he would vote for conviction on the
first, second, third and eleventh articles—a
pledge which he so suddenly and strangely
broke by aeqitting the President that the
whole city of Washington, on Saturday last,
was in three hours filled with charges of
his positive and downright corruption for
money.
Henderson, as we learn, is to be confront
ed with affidavits alleging that he had
positively agreed to vote for the eleventh
article —a promise by which, if he had kept
it, he would have delivered the nation from
its chief incubus.
Fowler, who ha.* lately worn the counte- .
nance of a man more crazy than sane, led
his Tennessee friends (except Patterson) to
suppose, down to Saturday morning, that ;
he might vote (or conviction. Certainly no j
man in the nation was more fierce for im- :
peachment than Fowler in January last.
Nor has any other Senator, by his Saturday's
verdict, so thoroughly, absolutely and
irredeemably stultified himself as this
wretched man.
Van Winkle, of West Virginia, prepared ,
and read to three Radical Senators a speech j
in support of the eleventh article, and yet
voted against the article.
It is difficult for people at a distance to
understand the intense lecling which now
prevails in Washington, except in view of
the dishonorable conduct which we have
thus described. The old veterans of the
Senate Chamber have been as much accus
tomed to losing as to winning battles. The
10.-s cf the eleventh article, if it had been
heaten honorably, would of course have cx-
I GREAT •: IOW, but no indignation.
S ito! - have just a. much right to rote
against as to vote f "a iiiea.ure. Hut the
Senate lias ken cruelly and basely deceived
by men whom •' had trusted aod honored.
It is for this reason that the present wrath
rages. Better let the Radicals lose a thou
sand impeachers than achieve a single one
!-y imitating the unworthy means which
their opponents employed to secure last
Saturday's victorious shame.
TIIE "WORLD" ON~ GEN. GRANT.
A DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF HIS "SOLID
PUBLIC SERVICES," THE ".STEADINESS
AND STAUNCHNESS OF HIS PATRIOTISM,"
AND THE "UPRIGHTNESS" OF HIS CHAR
ACTER.
General Grant's temporary acceptance of'
the ar Department causes a stir in the
Republican party, which confuses the cal- |
culatious of those Republicans who, five !
weeks ago, counted securely on his nomina- ;
tion as their candidate for the Presidency.
1 hose Republican newspapers, therefore,
which, like the Timet, are trying to identify
General Grant icith the Republican parh/, |
are oppooing a strong presumption by the 1
thinnest and feeblest of shadowy inferences.
Gen. Grant, to be cure, favors the execution
of the Reconstruction acts , but so also does
President Johnson. As they do not differ
on this point, they probably differ on Done
which is pertinent to the present posture of
affairs. President Johnson would indeed
have had no such laws passed as he feels
constrained to execute; nor is there any evi
dence that Gen. Grant ever favored, or tried
to promote their passage. President John-:
son concedes that Congress has practical
control of reconstruction by consenting to
execute the laics U has passed on that sub
ject; and Gen. Grant finding these laws in
force, recognizes their authority, without
going behind them to inquire whether they
ought to have been enacted. There is no
evidence that the President and Acting
Secretary of War differ on any important
practical question. The fact that the Trib
une and other Republican journals object to
Gen. Grant that lie has never signified his
assent to their principles, deserves notice
and consideration. Of the steadiness and
staunchness of Gen. Grant's patriotism, or
the uprightness and the soliditt/ of his char
acter, no man in the country doubts, nor af
: fects to doi.bt. The most perfect loyalty,
then, may stand with the most absolute in
difference to those objects which the Repub
i liean party regards as supreme. Or, to ex
, press the same idea differently, devotion to
! Republican shibboleth is no test of devotion
jto the country. On the score of loyalty and
j solid public services, no man in the country
! eon aone into competition icith this illustrious
, soldier. But measure him by the usual
; Loyal League standards, and it requires a
magnifying glass of very extraordinary pow
er to discover that he has any merit of pa
j triotism at all.
The Tribune is c-lamorous to have Gener
; al Grant show his colors and take sides in
i the party squabbles of the day. We rejoice
' that there is one man in the country who is
1 above the necessity of such belittling partisan
ship. We trust that Gen. Grant loves his
whole country; that be desires the good of
all its citizens, without regard to any divi
ding lines—whether they be lines of party,
ior sccUvu, or latv, or color. It is the no
blest reward of great services liko his, that
it exalts the character of this high level;
that it enables a man to act nobly witbout
appearing to be pretentious. Gen. Grant
is under a moral necessity of respecting the
great renown of his past services. It is be
neath him to play any common part in vul
! gar politics. The Presidency can be noth
ing to him; he has a more valuable office,
j But if in the hands of Providence, he could
I be an instrument for tranqnilizing the o:>un
• try, that is an honor for which he could af
: ford to sacrifice ease, congenial pursuits, and
I the responsibilities of greater fame as a sol
! dier.
God forbid that he should descend into
the arena of party contests. If he cannot
be elected President without such a decent,
he can do no good in the Presidency. Our
torn, lacerated, exasperated country needs
soothing, needs pacification, needs oil on
the troubled waters, which still toss aod
dash after the recent tempest. We would
no more have General Grant become a par
ty politician than, if we had lived in Wash
ington's time, we would have wished him
to give aud return party blows. As Wash
ington was elected and re-elected on the
strength of his character and services, with
out pledges either asked or given, we trust
that General Grant will beelectal, if at all,
in the same way, and with the same gener
ous confidence. Having rsstored the author
ity of the Government, wc hope that he may
add the highest civic to the highest military
fame by restoring long lost cnrdialily of feel
ing.—From the New York World.
Ol'R GREAT MEN.
The question is often heard, where are
our great men? Political hypochondriacs
point back despairingly to the times when
the policy of this or of other nations was
shapied by one or a few minds; when one
thinker's words were received and followed
by all men, more because they were his
than because they seemed to be wise; and
they call our days by contrast the days of
little men. They despair of the future, be
cause the intellect of a Webster is no longer
heard in the Senate, the fierce resolve of a
Jackson no longer rules the people from the
White House, and the dictatorial judgments
of a Marshall no longer frame judicial legis
lation on the bench.
There is a shadow of truth in all this. No
one man now is such a centre of the nation's
political life as was Washington. Jefferson
' Jackson in his time. On no man is the
hope of a great party built, as it was, even
! within a generation, on Silas Wright or
Henry Clay. All our habits of thought, all
; the tendencies shown in our contemporary
history, forbid us to expect such times
| again.
Indeed, a great people are always jealous
of great meu. He who gains prominence j
among them is seen in the same '"fierce i
light that beats upon a throne," his great- ■
ncss exposed, his greatness lessened by
standing in sharp contrast with our noble
noble ideals. Hence the proverb that "Re
publics are ungrateful." Not that they
l will not appreciate and reasonably reward
; real service, but that they will not, like na
j tions still in their infancy, accept ability for
i service and prostrate themselves in the en
larged shadow of greatness,
j Whatever raises the standard of manhood
! diminishes both the numbers and the prom
i inence of those who rise above that stand
ard. The nations which accomplished most
for humanity arc not those which have the
i longest record of the most eminent names.
It is in comparative barbarism that deini
"'ts arise; that one man absorbs the glory
| ami the power of a people. It is iu that
millennial future to which, though it still
i lies beyond the very horizon of thought.

, Europe reproaches democracy as the
mother of imperialism. Absolute govern
ment by the people tends, they say. to be
come absolute government by a chieftain.
They point to the two Caesars and two Na
poleons as historical proofs. Tliey prove
only that a nominal republic, corrupted by
generations of unjust spoil and fired by un
scrupulous ambition that makes soldiers and
emperors, has no existence. Ctcsar is as im
possible as Attila. Napoleon would he as
powerless as Mabommed. Neither the pas
sions which make such leaders, nor those
which follow them, are ever awakened. Was
Alexander born in Athens? Did Philip IT
learn tyranny in Antwerp? Is it fear or
laughter that is moved in ns by a threat of
usurpation in TVashington.
The need of the nation is not great men,
but greatness of purjxise and of action. Not
a few leaders cau shape this people's future;
but a steady movement of the mass, with
growing intelligence, patriotism, and charac
ter. towards the lull development of its men
tal and material power; and it may not be
long before all will recognize in the declining
prominence of our foremost names, as the
people become more capable of thorough
deliberation and wise action, one of the 1
most beautiful of those harmonies which
everywhere characterize the history of eivil
zation.—JVi Y. Pott.

AUSTRALIAN TREES AND ALGE
RIAN DESERTS.
The The Pall .Vail Gazette says: 'Tn
traveling through Spain and the centre of
I France there is nothing sadder than to draw
a contrast in the imagination between the
I present treeless tracts and the vast forests
: which once covered the land. In Spain
| miles and miles of tawny, monotonous coun
! try go by for hours, as you sit in the rail
j way carriage— Ungne* large* for an artist,
I bat melanchoily to a thinker, as telling of
- baking suns and freezing winds, dangerous
1 floods, sudden and violent changes destruc
' live to humah life.
"The great question of replanting forests
is DOW very much considered in Europe;
and it is a most important question. Not
only does the vast quantity of wood which is
consumed in modern civilized life make it
so, the question also involves climate and
health. Those great inundations which
cause such terrible suffering in France would
be much mitigated, if not prevented alto
gether, if the hills and valleys were covered
with forests; the seasons themselves would
be less intense, the summers less burning,
and the winters less freezing. To those who
know the north coast of Africa it is clear
that there is nothing more likely to rouse
genuine enthusiasm than the prospect of
clothing the hills with vegetation, and thus
mitigating the terrible effects of sirocco,
rendering that beautiful country more
healthy in the plains giving it the shade
which it requires, absolutely producing rain
falls, and increasiug the supply of water from
the springs; in one word, changing the me
teorological phenomena, and adapting it for
men and civilization. Dr. Budicbou insists
that Africa has a deteriorating effect upon
men principally owing to the irritating ef
fects of the dry air and of the sirocco. And
he moreover adds in his book that there the
ground has done its part and that the tree
must now begin its work.
"There is in Australia a wonderful tree,
the Eucalyptus or gum -tree, which will
probably be of enormous benefit to Algeria
in this particular. It grow? there as well as
in Australia, and has this valuable quality,
that, though it is a tree growing with extra
ordinary rapidity, its wood is of extreme
hardness, and much esteemed for building
and for the construction of voxels. It over
tarns all our ideas of the supposed relation
between slowness of growth and hardness of
wood. The Eucalyptus globules at fifteen
years of age is as valuable as an oak tree of
one hundred years. One seed planted near
Algiers four years ago is now a tree tbre e
feet in circumference at the base.
"Mr. Trottier, a practical man, has him
self planted several handred thousand of
these trees, knows that there is absolutely
no difficulty in the operation. TVe have
ourselves visited his plantations, and knew
also that many trees transplanted from his
nurseries to the high hills above Algiers are
growing marvellously. The Emperor of the
French is greatly interested in the work,
and has written to thank Dr. Muller, of
Melbourne, Mr. Wilson and M. Itamcl, for
the efforts which they have taken to supply
Algeria with seeds "
THE LAND OF PROMISE.
Dozens of young men write us to this
effect: "You exhort young men (and older)
to quit the over-crowded cities and find (or
make) homes in the broad, free country;
but where f" —What section do you consider
most inviting for those who take with them
little more than stout frames and willing
bands?"
To all such, we desire to say, once for all,
there is no section which seeuis to us de
cidedly preferable to all others. T\ c have
seen prairie and timber as well interleaved
in Missouri (along the North Missouri Rail
road) as we could wish ; and the whole re
gion seemed just about enough diversified
in altitude and the timber quite good. So
throughout Eastern Kansas, but especially
as we traveled southward from Wyandot
and Lawrence, it seemed to us doubtful if
there could be a better country than we then
saw. We have seen as good land in Min
-1 nesota, and in different parts of Wisconsin,
as we ever want to see. Fart of TT cstern
Michigan is still open to pre-emption, and is
especially desirable for the timber that now
' covers it and fruit that it will readily pro
duce.
For young men who arc worth fl.OOO;

the Carolinas as very inviting. Twenty !
such may buy for SIO,OOO an estate large!
enough to cut up into twenty good farms, |
and then have half their money left for im

••heri.-hing a fraternal spirit, they may di
' minish hy one half the amount they must

together, buy an estate judiciously located,
cut it up, start a store, a blacksmith shop,
a common school, Sic., ami they wiil double

KIT CARSON.
Dispatches from St. Louis announced that
a letter received their from Fort Lynn, Col
orado, said that the renowned Kit Carson
died at the post on the 23d inst., of a rup
ture of an artery in the neck. Kit Carson
was one ol the most noted of that intrepid
race of mountaineers, trappers, and guides
that have ever been the pioneers of civiliza
tion in its advancement westward across
the Western continent. He w;is horn in
Madison county, Kcntuckey. December 24,
1809, and while he was a mere infant, his
parents emigrated to what is now Howard
county, Missouri, but what was then an al
most unbroken wilderness. At the age of
fifteen he was apprenticed to a saddler,
with whom he continued two years, after *
which he joined a hunting expedition, and
thus commenced the pursuit he followed
during the remainder of his life. For eight
years he wasonthe plains leading the adven
turous life of a trapper, which he relinquish
ed only on receiving the appointment of
hunter to Bent's Fort, where he continued
eight years more. At the expiration of his
time he paid a short visit to his family, and
on his return met, for the first time, Gener
al, then Lieutenant John C. Fremont, by
whom his experience in the backwoods was
at once appreciated, and by whom, also, he
was engaged as guide in his subsequent ex
plorations. In this position he was eminent
ly useful, and to him is probably duo much
of the success of those explorations. In
1847, Carson was sent to Washington as
bearer of dispatches, and was then appoint
ed Lieutenant in the Rifle Corps of the
: United Ftates army. In 1853 he drove
6,500 heard of sheep over the mountains to
j California, a very hazardous undertaking at
that time, and, on his return to Laos, was
j apj-vitrtcj Indian Agent in New Mexico,
j Since this appointment he has been largely
instrumental in bringing about the treaties
between the United States and the Indian .
and on a mission of this kind he visited
Washington a few weeks ago in company
with a deputation of the red men, and made
a tour of several of the Northern and Has
tern cities.
THF. PROMISE KEPT.— The following,
from an exchange, is worth reading: A
mother on the green hills of Vermont, was
holding by the right hand a son, sixteen
years old, mad with the love of the ea.
And as she stood by the garden gate me
! morning, she said: "Edward, they tell roe,
for I never saw the ocean, that the great
temptation of a seaman's life is driuk.
Promise me, before you quit your mother's
hand that you will never drink." "And,''
said he, (for he told me the story,) "I gave
her the promise, and I went the broad globe
over, Calcutta, and the Mediterranean. >an
Francisco, the Cape of Good Hope, the
North Pole and the South. I saw thcui all
in forty years, and I never saw a glass filled
with sparkling liquor that my mother's form
by the gate did not rise before me; and to
day I am innocent of the taste of liquor."
Was not that sweet evidence of the power
of a single word? Yet that was not half.
"For," said he, yesterday there came into
my counting-room a man of forty years, and
asked me,'Doyou know me?' 'No.' 'Well,'
said he, 'I was once brought drunk intojyour
presence on ship-board; you were a passen
ger; the captain kicked me aside; you took
me to your berth and kept me there till I
bad slept off the intoxication, you then
asked me if I had a mother. I said I had
never known a word from her Hps. You
told me of yours at the garden gate, and to
day I am master of one of the finest packets
in New \ ork; and I came to ask you to
come and see me."'
