A RESPONSE TO TIIE "BLUE JUNIATA."
ir-
Written in the summer of 1865, trhile traveling
j along that -peerless litu river."
The Indian girl has ceased lo rove
Along the wiuding river;
The warrior Brave that won her love,
Is gone with bow and quiver.
The valley rears another race,
Where flows the Juniata ;
There maidens rove, with paler face
Than that of Allarata
Where pine trees moan her requiem wail,
Aud blue waves too are kneeling.
Through mountain gorge and fertile vale,
A louder note is swelling.
A hundred years have rolled around,
The Bed man has departed,
The hills give back a wilder sound
Than warrior's whoop ere started.
With piercing neigh, the iron steed
Now sweeps along the waters, speed.
And bears, with more than wild deer
The white man's sons aud daughters.
The products, too of every clime
Arc borne along the river.
Where roved the Brave, in olden time.
With naught but bow and quiver.
And swifter than the arrow's Sight,
From trusty bow and quiver,
The messages of love and light
Now speed alung the river.
The engine and the telegraph
Have wrought some wondrous changes,
Since rang the Iudian maiden's laugh
Among the inountaiu ranges.
'Tis grand to see what art hath done.
The world is surely wiser; won
What triumphs white man's skill haih
With steam, the civilizer.
But still, mcthinks, I'd rather hear
The song of Allarata
Had rather chase the fallow deer
A!on;r the Juniata
For fondly now my heart esteems
This Indian song and story
Yea, grander far old nature seems,
Than art in all its glory.
Roll on, thou classic Keystone Stream,
Thou peerless little river,
Fulfil the poet's brightest (ream,
And be a joy forever.
As generations come and go,
Each one their part repeating.
Thy waters keep their constant flow,
Still down lo ocean flouting.
And while tby blue waves seek the sea,
Thou lovely Juuiata,
Surpassing sweet thy name shall be,
Forsukcof Alfarata.
PROCLAMATION OF ANDREW JOHNSON-
Washington, April 2, 1SCG.
By the President of the United Slata of
America :
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, By proclamations of the
15th aud lilth of April, ISGl, the Presi
dent of the United States, in virtue oi
the power vested iu him by the Constitu
tion and the laws, declared that the laws
of the United States were opposed ami
the execution thereof obstructed in the
States of South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana aud
Texas, by combinations too powerful to
be suppressed by the ordinary course of
judical proceedings ; and
Whereas, By another proclamation made
on the 10th day of August, in the same
year, in pursuance of an act of Congress,
approved July 13th, the inhabitants of
the States of Georgia, South Carolina,
Virginia, North Carolina, Teunessec, Al

o n J '
and such other parts of that State and
the other States before named as might
maintain a loyal adhesion to the Union
and the Constitution, or might be from
time to time occupied and controlled by
force of the United States engaged in
the dispersion of insurgents, were de
clared to be in a state of insurrection
against the United States; and
Whereat. Bv another uroclaniation of
the first day of July, 18G2, issued in pur- j
- i
suancc of an act of Congress approved separated from the American Union, aud
June 7th, in the same year, the iusurrec-1 that, therefore, each State ought to re

of Virginia designated as West. Virginia,
aDd the ports of New Orleans, Key West,
Port Royal and Beaufort, in South Caro
lina, were declared to bo btill iu a state
of insurrection against the United Slates ;
and
Whereas. The House of Reprwenta
tives, on the 22d day of July, 1864,
adopted a resolution in the word follow
ing, namely :
Resulted, by the House of R.prcscnta
ticet of the Congress of the United .States,
That the present rtuplorable civil war has
been torccd upon the country by the
disuuionists of the Southern States, now
iu revolt against the constitutions! - gov
ernment aud in arms around the capital
that in this national emergency Congress,
banishing all feelings of mere passion or
resentment, will recollect only its duty toj
the whole couutry, that this war is not
waged on our part iu any spirit of op
pression, nor for any purpose of confjuest
or subjugation, nor purpose of overthrow
iu-z or interfering with the lights or es
tablislied institutions of these States, but
to maintain aud defend the supremacy of
the Constitution, and to preserve the
Uuiou with all its dignity, equality and
rights of the sever.'il States unimpaired,
and that as soon as these objects are ac
complUhed the war ought to cease; and
Whereas, the Scuate cf tho United
States, on the 25th day of July, 18G1,
adopted a resolution in the words fallow
ing, to wit :
liesoletd, That the present deplorable
civil war has been forced upon the coun
try by the disunionists of the Southern
States now in revolt agaiust the constitu
tional Government and in arms around
the capital ; that in this national emer
gency Congress, banishing all feelings of
mere passion or resentment, will recollect
only its duty to tho whole country, that
this war is not prosecuted on our part in
any npirit of oppression, nor for any pur
pose of conquest or subjugation, nor
purpose of overthrowing or interfering
with the rights or established institutions
of those slates ; but to defend and main
tain the supremacy of the Constitution
and laws made iu pursuance thereof and
to preserve the Union with all the dignity
equality and rights of the several States
unimpaired. As soon as these objects are
accomplished the war ought to tease.
Whereat, These resolutions, though
not j oint or occurrcot in form, are sub.
stnntiaily identical, and as such may be
regarded as having expressed the sense of
Cougres upon the subject to which they
relate; aud
Whereas, By my proclamation of the
loth day of June last, the insurrection
in the State of Tennessee was declared
to have been suppressed, the authority of
the United States therein to be undisput
ed, uud such United States officers as had
been duly commissioned to be in the un
disputed exercise of their official func
tions ; and
Whereas, There now exists no organ
ized armed resistance of misguided citi
zens or others to the authority of the
United States in the States of Georgia,
South Carolina, Virgiuia, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Florida, aud the laws can
be sustaiued aud enforced therein by the
proper civil authority, State or Federal
and the people of the said States are well
and loyally disposed and have conformed,
or will conform in their legislation to the
condition of affairs growing out of the'
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States piolubitiog slavery within
the limits and jurisdiction of the United
States , and
Whereas, In view of the before recited
premises, it is the manifest determination
of the American people that no State, of
its own Will, has the riirbt or the nnwnr
to go out of or separate itself irom, or be
. ' ' r
before mentioned States have, ia the man-
ner aforesaid, given satisfactory evidence
that lhoy acquiesced :u this sovereign ana I
(important revolution of national unity;
and
Whereas,- It is bcliered to be a funda
mental principle of government that the
people who have revolted, and who have
been overcome and subdued, must either
be dealt with so as to induce them volun
tarily to becom9 friends, or rise they
must be held by absolute military power,
or devastated so as to prevent them from
ever again doing barm as enemies, which
last-named policy is abhorrent to human
ity and freedom ; and
Whereat, The Constitution of the
United States provides for constitutional
communities only as States and cot as
territories, dependencies, provinces or
protectorates ; and
Whereas, Such constituent Sia'es must
necessarily bo, and by I he Constitution
aod law of the United States, are male
! equals and placed upon a like footing as
to political rights, immunities, dignity
and power with which they are united ;
ami -
Whereas, The observanced political
equality as a principle of right and jus
tice is well calculated to cocourajre the
of the afore8,id.StBte, t0 Le and
become more aud more constant and per
severing in their renewed allegiance ; aud
Whereas, Standing armies, military
occupation, military la, military tribu
nals and the suspension of the privilege
of the writ of habeas corpus are, in tiuiu
of peac, dangerous to public liberty, in
compatible with the individual rights of
the citiaon, contrary to the genius and
spirit of our free institutions, and ex
haustive of the natural resources, aad
ought not therefore to be sanctioned ot
allowed, except in cases of actual necess
ity, for repIling invasion or suppressing
insurrection cr rebellion ;
And yrhcreas, Tne policy of the Gov
ernment of the United States from the
beginning of tha insiirroctioa has been in
conformity with the principles herein set
forth and enunciated ;
Now, therefore, I, Androw Johnson,
President of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare that the insurrection
which heretofore existed in the States of
Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana,
Aikausas, Mississippi and Florida, is at
an end, and is henceforth to be so regarded.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
Uuited States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, the
second day of April, in the year of our
Lord one thousand euht hundred and
sixty-six, aud of the independence of the
United States of America the ninetieth.

A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR PAINT.
For the benefit of our readers, both in
town and country, we publish the follow-
ing recipe for making a wash for build
... . -, . i . . , i . ii
lugs, venten is saiu to loot aunusi as u.i
as paint. We quote from the Chemical
Haze tie :
'Take a clear water-barrel, or other
suitable ca:k, and put in'o it a half bush
cl of lime. Slack it by pouring water '
over it, boiling hot, and in sufficient quan
tity to cover it five inches deep and stir it
briskly till thoroughly slacked. When
slacking has been affected, dissolve iu
water and add two pounds of sulphate of
zinc and one of common fait. These
will cause the wash to harden, and pre
vent its cracking, which gives an unsecm-
insly appearance to the work. If dc
girable, a beautiful cream color may bs
communicated to the above wash, by add
ing three pounds of yellow ochre, or a
good pearl or lead color by the addition
of lamp, vine or ivory black. For. fawn
color, add four pounds of umber Turkish
or American tho latter is the cheaper,
one pound of Indiau red and one pound
common lampblack. For common stone
color, add four pounds of raw umber and
two pounds lampblack. This wash may
be anplied with a common whitewash
brush, and will be found much supperior,
both in appearance and durability, to
common whitewash."
Burns. By layiug a piece of char
coal upon a burn the pain subsides im
mediately. By leaving the charcoal on
one hour, the wound ia healed, as has
been demonstrated on several occasions.
The remadv is cheap and simple, and Cd-

A TENNESSEE CONGRESSMAN ON RECON
STRUCTION. Colonel Stokes, a loyal Tennessecan,
who raised and commanded a regiment
which did good service in the Union army,
aud who is one of the members of Cun
gress elected by his State, has -recently
been earnestly advocating the election of
General Hawlcy, the Union Governor
elected iu Connecticut. In a speech de
livered at Fairhaven, during the late cam
paign, he ably defended the action of
Congress on reconstruction, as will be seen
by the iollowing extract ;
"Jiut it is said a radical Congress will
net admit Union men of the South. I
am oue cf those men, and an applicant
for a scat iu Congress. I believe when
the proper time comes Congress will do its
duty in regard to Tennessee and any oth
er State that takes the same position -Why
is it not doue now ? We have had
a war for four or five years. You cannot
expect Congress to heal all these differ
ences in a few days. It was their duty
to examine the cooditioq of the govern
ment of those States, to examine their
constitutions and laws, and when their
loyal government is properly established
to recognize it, and then one point is set
tled. After that comes the question as to
the qualification of members. Congress
had a right to prescribe a test oath, and I
say here that I would sit in my scat until
1 froze to death before I icould ever rote
to repeal that oath vnfil the Southern
people and their papers show a different
tone towards the Union men of Ike ovth.
Now the President has said himself that
Congress must declare the Sta'e govern
ment properly established before it can
become valid. Why. then, arc these States
not admitted ? Because they have cot
complied with the President's own requirements-
But Tennessee has ; why is
she not admitted ? I will tell you. Con
gress asked for evidence as to these States.
It asked for the proclamations, constitu
tions, documents, laws. The President
never sent them to Congress until March.
But meanwhile it bad been gathering
proof from other quarters, and at length
it was just ready to admit Tennessee.
Then one branch of the Legislature was
disorganized, and the rebel element, cot
being willing to submit to the rule of the
majority, sought to break up and destroy
the government. They left the House
without a quorum, and it is etill without a
quorum. And I say while the gov
ernment was in that condition, there is
not a man 0f you who would think
that State should be recognized. We
therefore do not complain ot the doiay.-
We kiiuic that adinisfion now tconld de
stroy the Union element oj those iilates.
Congress is doing right in holding them
back. When the rebel armies first sur
rendered, there was everywhere a disposi
tion toward loyalty, but I stand here to
night to say that there is now a feeling a
deep and bitter toward the Union men of
the South, as there ever was in 1800 or
! ISGl. And the facts have Droved that
Congress, in its cool and deliberate treat,
meut of the matter, deserves the thauks
of all Union men in giving opportunity
fur rebels to show their bands.
Time will show that Congress was ri"ht.
But all these things will be settled wisely
and safely, aud when loyal men get con.
trol of these governments, there will then
be no difficulty, aud all these questions
will be satisfactorily settled. In Tennes
see Wu shall elect new members to make a
quorum, on Saturday next, then the fran
chise bill, securing control to loyal men,
will pass, and then I have no doubt that
Congress will act promptly aud rightly."
fekfThe Eldora (Iowa) Ledger gives
an account of a powerful men Jiving in
Hardin county, who, though uukoown to
fame, passcsses far more strength than the
celebrated Dr. Wiudship, His name is
Walter Hadlock, and be resides at Hardin
city. He was a member of company C
of the Sixth Iowa infantry. In the march
of Sherman's army to the sea, Mr. Had
lock lost his right arm, in a skirmish near
Macon, Ga. It was amputated near the
shoulder. He seems to sutler but little
inconvenience from the loss, and chops
wooi with his siugle left arm as well as
many having both these members. It
costs no unusual effort for him to cut and
cord two and a half cords per day, and he
will wager fifty dollars that he can, with
bis remaining left arm, split 039 hundred
Mi fifty rails for diy.
WnOLE .NUMBER 939,
A STRANGE SPECIMEN OF HUMANITY.
Twelve years jio, a family, named
Sawyer; living in the town of Westbroot,
were surprised to find that a very superior
new milch cow, carefully kept in their
stable, was "drying up." This continued
uutil some time after, Mrs. Sawyer discov
ered the prints of human ficgers is the
soap-grease barrel in the stable. Commu
nicating this discovery to her husband, be
procured help from one of the neighbors,
aud a thorough search of the stable fol
lowed. An examination of the hay-mow
disclosed a small hclo, which, being fol
lowed up by pitching away the hay, led
to a sort of a den-like place in the inte
rior of tho mow. Here was found a
strange teia a man apparently about
twenty-fuur years old. half clothed in rags,
shockingly filthy, and having no feet.
Oue foot was missing just above the ankle ;
the other was gone a little higher up, tho
stump terniiuatlug in an oblong way, and
in a manner showing that it was not tha
woik of a surgeon, nor had it teeeived
the attention of a surgeon when lost
His face and head were of average intel
ligence, hut not a word could be got from
him. He lived there a number of weeks,
subsisting on the milk cf the cow and the
grease. He was turned over to the town
authorities and placed in tho Poor House,
where he now is aud has been for the past
twelve years.
All attempts to solre the mystery con
cerning this strange being have proved
futile. No one has been found yet who
ever saw or heard of him, and during the
whole twelve years he has never uttered a
word. Various expedients have been tried
to loose his toDgue. On one occasion he
was given a bottle containing a pint of
whisky. He seemed to understand ex
actly what it was, tor he placed it to his
lips and drank the whole at a draught,
but it had no perceptible effect upon hisi.
In manner, habits, &c, he is like a wild
beast. In the summer he is kept in a
sort of a wooden cage-like structure in
the yard. He is very shy of strangers,
and will hide his head in his blaukets
when they approach. His quarters are
comfortable, and it is impossible to give
him better for sanitary reasons.
Where the creature came from is cer
tainly a mysterious matter. He could
not have walked from a distance, as ho
crawls upon his knees very slowly. The
only theory attempted is this : A few
weeks before the man was discovered the
steamer Sarah Sands arrived at this port
from Liverpool, with a large number cf
immigrants. It is conjectured that this
being might have been a burden to some
oue over the waters. Mr. Sawytr (since
deceased) hauled a load home from the
steamer's wharf at that time, and it is
reasoned that the man might have been
clandestinely added to his load, and from
thence have crept ictj his stable. Port
land (. ) Argus.
Discouraged. The New York Her
ald, a Democratic paper, is saddened and
disheartened with the result of the New
Hampshire election. It is satisfied now
that the Democratic party can never again
be successful that is ia effectually ''done
for," and that the sooner it disbands and
gets np another organization the better.
'In fact," ays the Herald, '-from its ob
noxious peace affiliations and peace move
ments during tho war, the Democratic
party has lost the confidence of the people
who carried through the war. The party
must take a new shape and a new name
before it can expect to accomplish any
important revolution. The party record
of the war has killed it as dead as the
Bourbons."
3TThackeray tells of an Irish woman
begging alms of him, who, when she saw
him put his hand in his pocket, cried out,
"May the blessings of God follow you all
your life" but when he only pulled out
his snuff-box, immediately added "and
never overtake ye."
