ONE YEAE AGO. \\ hat .stars have failed from our sky ? j hat hopes unfolded hut to die? | W hat dreams so fondly pondered o'er, j Forever lost the hues they wore! | j How like a death knell, sad and slow, , Tolls through the soil, 'one year ago!' : Where is the face we love to greet, j The form that graced the fireside sent, | The gentle smile, the winning way, j That blessed our life-path day by day? ; W here fled those accents soft and low, j I hat thrilled our hearts 'one year ago!' i Ah, vacant is the fireside chair, 1 he smile that won, no longer there; From door and hall, from jtoroli and lawn, The echo of the voice is gone, ; And we who linger, only know How much we lost, 'one year ago!' Beside her grave the marble white Keeps silent guard by day and night. Serene she sleeps, nor heeds the tread Of footsteps o'er her lowly bed; Her pulseless breast no more may know I The pangs of life, 'one year ago!' . Rut why repine? A few more years, A few more broken sighs and tears, And we, enlisted with the dead. .Shall follow where her stops have fled, To that far world rejoicing go To which she passed 'one year ago!'

Perhaps some fair young damsel. Whose looks have ne'er belied her, Will not object to take a swig. When you sit down be—cider. And then if she Indulges, You may have to guide her; But she will say it's owing to The rtuff which is in—eiuer. i When genial grown, remember— If you have never tried her— To pop the question, and be sure The spirit will de —eider. MISGERLARrY". Geu. Butler at Harrisfcurg. By invitation of the Legislature, minus the cops, Gen. Butler, a lite long democrat who the moment lie discov ered that tho object of the Southern j democracy was -disunion, took up arms ' and has never since ceased to denounce them, spoke at Harrisburgon Wednes j day evening last to an immense gath ering of people. Had his energetic mode ot dealing with he and she rebels at Xew Orleans and other places been ; | adopted by our general officers through out tho south, this rebellion would ; have closed with a very different re sult from that which Andrew Johnson •is endeavoring to give it. We give I some extracts front his speech : I return my most cordial thanks ior the high honor and courtesy shown 1110 by this reception. I must attri i bute it, and not in any term of self : abnegation, the loyal feeling you have to tho country, and as s recognition of j an endeavor on my pas tto aid in the struggle which has so lately almost happily terminated. We can congrat , ulate ourselves, gentlemen, if not on 'j tho return of peace yet, on tho cessa tion of all armed hostility to tho Gov i eminent of the Union. For four years j wo have been called upon to send our ; bravest ar.d dearest to the field of bat. tie, there to peril life in bchatf of their I country's honor. That period has j terminated, and if the anticipation to which, during tho dark and bloody struggle, wo all looked forward, bad been realized, that when war would , ceaso peaco indeed would come, and the authority of the Union, as upheld by true loyal men, should bo estab lished, then, indeed, we should feel I that the Wood of ou-r sons had not been I sued in vain. £Applaaso] Therefore, ; I suppose, wo may assume that it is in the hearts of overy one present, as ; iu ray own, to ask oacb ono of us, in words almost like tho cuestion ot the old watchman, 'What cf the hour?' —for each hour creates a new feature iu the political condition of the coun i tr >'- . It is not with anger, but with sor row; not with doubt, but in the reas i enable exercise of judgment that i fc&l bound to say what I believe every truo man will echo, however painful that ; echo ma}' be, that what wo thought j we had gained by the struggle hub not yet come to us; and if not, why not? On the surrender of tho rebel forces, when 16,000 of tho e-neruy were aur | rendered to the victorious armies of I tho United States, numbering a mil. j inion men; with every vestige of armed resistance blotted out; when their great leader, their representative man in the l civil government of the Confederacy i was captured at the head of his fugi tive guards, and when the nation shud ! dered at the most horrible assassina tion of our chosen and beloved Presi dent; at that hour, when we thought j that that cruel deed might possibly be ; avenged, and just retribution, other than the execution (if the poor, half innocent instruments of that crime, in i comparison with the crime of the great I leader, be visited at that hour. I I ay wc saw a condition of things and each man of you will agree with me, i doubt not—we had but to im press the true stamp of our loyalty upon the South and it would have re ceived and retained that impress.— • Jloes any one doubt that at the time I if Congress had been called together, and if the co-ordinate branches of the ' Government had then agreed, as upon | other extraordinary occasions, on a policy ol reconstruction, if reconstruc tion was needful, or a policy upon j which those troubles which now threat en the country might be settled, can any ono doubt that if Congress atul the President had agrerd upon a policy, ; that that policy would have been the settled law ol the land, to which each ; man Xorth and South would have ren j dered willing obedience. Suppose, for | example, that Congress and its Presi dent had agreed at that day, and ! it had been proclaimed by the law | making power, rendered certain by ; Executive concurrence, that the great representative leader of the rebellion, Jetierson Davis, who, having left the Senate of the United States for the purpose of taking the lead of the re bellion, should be tiied for his crime, and if found guilty, convicted and punished, as an example to all others in like case. Or if General Lee, who, ; on the HUh April deserted from the flag and the army for the purpose of taking command of the armed farces : I of the enemies of the United States, i | had been tried and punished, as every j ; soldier who deserts his flag to com mand the armies of his country's one- ; tuies should be punished by everv law, civil, military, human, and, I might almost say, divine. If it had been ; proclaimed that every man who had left the Union army, and every man who had left the halls of Congress of tho United States, should leave his I country for his country's good within ' the next sixty days, and if it should i then have been declared that all men ! who had taken an active part in the j rebellion, and had thereby forfeited 1 their rights as citizens, should there i after remain without any share in the political power of the United States —if that had been done, does anv one | doubt that peace, quietness, and I iyai- | ty would have reigned in every State j in the South? Ifi am right, then we j are not to complain because wo see I now that tho best thing to be done was ! not done; but as 1 have only sketched i before you substantially what the I President of the C niton States, at that ! time, as I understood both from his , public speeches and his private declar , ations, said what was the best thing to i be done. We have a right, in all fair j ncss of criticism of what has happened, 1 to at least regret he had not done j what our judgments now tell us was j best to bo done, and what his judg ment at that time told him, and ho told us was best to be done. Put what has happened tdneo the whole South, which stood ready to receive tho imprint of our institutions, ot our laws, and of our wishes; now, under the hlattfof things which has supervened, have eouio up to claim what they claim to be their rights—their power and their places again in the Congress of the United States, to make laws for us— at id I understand the question to day which divides the country and divides the Presideut and tho majority of those who supported him in this: Shall thot-e me, hcretofcro in rebellion, i without and guarantee that they will r.ot do again what they have done bo fore, bo received back and allowed to make laws for us? and upon that quos tion, my friends, I will endeavor to give you some few of tho ideas which lio uppermost in my mind as the reas on why this course should net be taken for tcpoo. no otiier question is there any division between the President and 1 tho party which put him in power, and between thorn and the opposing party, if so small a fragrant as is re presented in congress can be called * party. The division is this, and 1 think no loyal man and no man who fought in tho tight of the last four years can. doubt whore his p1a.06 is uaw. Shall we rcccivo these men back with out guarantee, without surety, with out repentance, even to places which they voluntarily dosortod? There are reasons why I think every loyal man would say 'Xo.' The first, not in significance, and por hans not in order ; but first " o miv aawas-siwsra saamdw oarasysrir, jKsssr* { discuss is this : What right have they , to come back ; Why, it is said in tho ■ first place that the States of this | Union could not secede from the Union. | That we fought to prevent the States from seceding, and that if tho Stales I are not out of the Union, then these men have their rights in the Union as i tho representatives of those States, i I here are two answers to be made to that; lir.at. that no representative in Congress who represents a State here. . represents a district, and no district as I such, I believe, attempted to rebel, but 1 that would bo a technical answer, and j not one to he favored, and as I may be told by any astute Senator on the floor, j one that would hardly apply ; but the ; broader and wider, more statesman ' like and just ansWer would seem to be that the question to be here decided is ! not whether the .State is iu or out of ! the Union, but whether communities | who were States, who repudiated all their obligations uls citizens of the I United and who took .upon , themselves new obligations to u body ; which they erected, called the Confed erate States. a _ 1 Vol, LVI. No. 16. : cause no man who stood in Congress ! was more honored bv the loyal men of j the ration than was Thaddeus Stevens. . He was here to ask whether Pennsv!- ! vania approved of the appellation of I traitor as applied to that honored Rep resentative ? He asked how did these States go out ? but by this query lie did j not imply that they took a single foot I o! territory from under the jurisdiction , of the United States, or made the dil lereneo ot a single hair in the relations : of the Government, but each seceder had risen in his place and said, 'now | my State has gone out, and I am gw- I ing out of Congress," and then took ; his hat and left, taking care to go by the way of the sergeant-at-arms' office, and to draw bis salary—perhaps thero was neither law nor constitutional ob ligation to prevent these men from do ing that, lint suppose that, having taken themselves out of Congross, and their States bad refused to endorse their acts, would any one say that they should resume their seals before Con gress voted that they were entitled to them ? And suppose that the const ilil- I cuts of a representative who had thus J withdrawn from Congress applauded j bis act and sustained him, then it would be conceded that, as that man himself could not come back into | Congress without the vote of that body, could that constituency at whoso instance this withdrawal had taken place, and another man to take the place of their former Representative before Congress said they might do so, would any man pretend Congress could not properly inquire by what right that Representative came hack? He contended that the arms of the Government had capturod the public enemies, with all their lands, negroes and property ; and why not their eon 6tituth>nal rights, if thev had any? But the South based its claims upon the terras of surrender to Grant and Sherman, which ternrs were that they might go home and live unmolested-, so long an thej- behaved well. No po litical cr governmental right wan giv en thorn i y tli-one terms; but in the surrender ot their representatives in the field the people lately in rebellion had surrendered every right to whi-ch they had ever been -entitled. The great contest appeared to be, whither the truly loyal men of the South or those who had boon disloyal should be represented in Congress A Petrified Australian-. Tho London Daily News says that a petrified Australian male aboriginal had just arrived in England. This singular specimen of petrification was found in one of the stone caverns which abound at Musquilo plains, South Australia. It was lying in a natural position; as if having fallen asleep; and a .Mr. Craig, who was in the colony at the tin\e in search of cu riosities, got possession of the 'black fellow' for the purpose of adding him to his collection. Traveling with his singular burden wrapped in a blanket for nearly ct-.-c hundred miles, he rea-oh ed Mount Gambia, where his move ments attracted suspicion; and the Crown Lands Ranger, ascertained that, his burden was a human being,sought tho advice of a higher power and re lei ved him of his prize. An action of trover was immediately commenced, and Mr. Craig succeeded in obtaining a verdict, with daciagos -one farthing. Tho government, however, refused to give p tR-e 'stone or other material,' which was again placed in the cave.— Mr. Craig, however, again went to work, and despite tho heavy iron bars with which it was guarded and tho hardships he endured, managed to re gain It, and brought it in safety to England.
