PERSONAL.
—The -. Troy Times says The wife of General
Seymour has received several letters from her hue
band, who if , ntw in Oharieston, under the order of
General Jones,' ;aligning Federal prisoners to
localities inflamed to the fire of our shells. General
Seymour states that he is in good health and spirits,
and speaks of a recent order he has seen, instructing
the Coniodorate °dicers to treat him humanely
during his stay there. The order was countersigned
by Davis, and was prompted in consideration of
Seymolir'S humane treatment of the rebel wouktded
alter the battle of SharpSburg.
The day after the recent light between Win
cheater and Martinsburg the wife of Col. Mulligan'
Itiding at Cumberland, Md., received a telegram
announcing her husband's and brother's (Lieut.
Nugent) fate. At the time she received the message
all ral.road communication east of Cumberland (or,
with Martinsburg) had been discontinued. Learn=
ing this; Mrs. Mulligan on the same day set out In
open buegy_to travel a distance of seventy odd
"iniles to hear something definite of her husband, or
perhaps seek out his whereabouts. Such is the force
of feeling. At tee time sho startedh too, it had Just
ceased raining (the end of a heavy shower), and the
sky threatened "one more of the same sort. left"
for immediate use.
—lntelligence of the death of General McPher
son was telegraphed to General Grant on Sunday.
The war-worn hero, anal —finishing the reading of
the despatch, retired to his tent weeping like a
child, and, with tears streaming down his bronzed
cheeks, declared that the country had lost its ablest
soldier, and he his hest friend.—Cor. Tribune.
Governor Paxier, in Temporise to o letter asking
his opinion of General MeOlellan, and his fitness
for the Presidency, says: "I always considered hies
a patriot, and to be the possessor of military talent
of a high order ; but I have recengy come to the
conclusion that he is a man of great ability in other
respeots. I hope 'he will receive the nomination,
although I fear efforts are being made in some
quarters to deteat,hitn.”
Before the Alabama went into action Semmes
Made a little speech to his men, perorating with the
words " England expects every man to do Isis duty P ,
—more euphonious certainly, than "G. S. A. ex
pects" or "Dixie expects." Truer, too. For the
Alabama was a British ship, and manned chiefly by
British seamen. It was England that indulged in ex
pectations, as °apt. Semmes well knew, and she has
not yet got over her disappointment.
The St. Joseph (Mo.) Prfbune, of Sunday last,
Says that It learns that Major General Pleasanton,
known as the great cavalry officer of the Army of
the Potomac, but now on duty in that Department,
will succeed Major General Fisk In the command.
The Department Is called the Northwest.
THE FREEDMEN'S SONGS.
OnIGIVAL NEnttO MINSTRELSY or THE WAR—
JOYFUL NED MOCIINFUL MELODIES.
(From the New York Evening Poet.)
The war has brought into publicity a new and
quaint species of hterature, heretofore almost
wholly - unknown. - We have now is curious collec
tion of genuine negro songs, composed, set to music,
and sung, by the negro himself. In their plaintive
and mournful sweetness, their Invariable spirit of
devotion, and their wild and irregular melody, they
are Improvements upon those composed for our white
s' negro minstrels. , The latter, no doubt, surpass
these originals in meaning and in wit, but It wilt be
noticed that the most popular of the so-called negro
3nelodles are thus popular because they possess some
of the peculiar characteristics of those that cor
respondents and educated Northern men, penetra
ting to tho dwelling of the Southern negroes, with
in the last two years, have noted for the amusement
of loyal readers. Whittier caught the spirit and
tried to Infuse it into his own composition in his
song of the negro boatman at Port Royal, beautiful
ly prefacing it:
" For dear the bondsman holds his gifts
Of music and - of song,
The gold that kindly nature sifts
Among his sands of wrong."
There 'was a great deal of cheerful music in the
song "The Kingdom Coming," which a little while
ago was sung throughout the land :
" Say, darkeys, bare you seen de master
'With do muffstach on his face,
Go long de road some time Ws morning,
Like he gwine to leave dis place 7
He seen a smoke way up de ribber,
Where de Llnkurn gunboats lay ;
He took histat and lef berry sudden,
And I spec be run away—
Be clarkeys laugh He ! he P
De darkeys laugh Ho ! ho! ,
It must be now de kingdom coming
Au' de year o' Jubilo-o."
Here is one of the grandest-sounding hymns sung
at Port Royal. A congregation of three hundred
men and women, at the Baptist Church on St. He
lena Islaud, often join in it with the greatest enthu
siasm :
I , Little children sitting on the tree of life,
To hear when Jordon roll ;
Oh, roll, Jordan, roil ; roll, Jordan, roll ;
We march the angel march; oh, march the angel
march ;
Oh, my soul is rising heavenward, to hear when Jor
den roll.
Oh, my brother, sitting on the tree of life,
To hear when' Jordan roll, etc.
Sister Mary, sitting on the tree of life,
To hear when Jordan roll," etc.
Here is another often sung:
" I no weary yet,
0, I no weary yet:
Lord, I hab a witness in my heart,
I no weary yet,
I no weary yet ;
I hab a hebben to tnalotain,
I no weary yet,
I nu weary yet ;
What dat shine upon my track,
I no weary yet;
De bands of faith are on my soul,
1 no weary yet ;
Old Satan toss a ball at me,
I no weary yet -,
He tot do ball would hit my soul,
I no weary yet;
De ball to hell and Ito hebben,
I no weary yet."
When any member of the congregation becomes
agitated with a desire for religion, the following,
tr something like it, is joined in by all prosent—snp
losing the person now to be sister Sarah :
II Sister Sarah, do you want to get rellglonl
Sister Sarah, do you want to get religioni
Go down in de lonesome valley - , -
Go down in Ile lonesome valley ;
Sister Mary got do letter,
Sister Martha read do letter,
To meet my Jesue dore ; •
Go down in de lonesome valley
To meet my Jesus dore."
Here Is a snatch of another hymn :
g , Oh, Lord o. Israel,•
Sanctify my soul!
Oh, Lord o' Israel !
Sanctify my soul !
Sinner o' man, you better begin,
Do gatesql be shut, an' you can't come In ;
Oh, Lord o' Lsrnel,
Sanctify my soul h"
Sometimes the hymn breaks forth in this strain
"Do Lord am coming, yah, yah,
To take me right long home, ah, yah ;
I feels his bandlin, yah, yolk, ,
To pull this chile along, ah, yah.
Den yah, oh yah, yah,
Glory, come along;
Don't you see the chariot
Yoh, oh yah, yah.
Why, look right over yonder,
Yah, yah
And don't you 'gin to wonder,
Oh yah.
For while you sinners here are musin',
l's gwine to Father Abram's bosom;
Oh yob,
Den yah, oh yah, yah, etc."
And even still more joyously thus :
ti The Lord am in his chariot car,
Glory, hallelujah !
He's come from a distance very far,
Glory, hallelujah
So jump aboard, and to glory let us glide,
While we help to swell the chorus as we ride,
Glory, hallelujah
The children in the freedmen's schools have a
hymn which runs through many verses, commen
cing
" follow in Jesus' ways,
No man Mtn hinder me!
PIT do what Jcsus says,
No man can hinder me
A person writing from New Orleans says the fol
lowing, with-many variations, Is a favorite at the
meetings of the contrabands in that vicinity :
" If you want to make ole Satan run,
Oh jes git out do gospelguni
Oh play on de golden harp !
I went down to tie gates oh hell,
An' dere I bid um all farewell,
Oh play on de golden harp !
" I look my face down to do groan',
I ask do Lord to turn me ruun',
Oh, play on de golden harp t .
I turn my taco up to de sky,
I ask de Lord to kick one high,
Oh, play on de golden harp !"
It Is only necessary to examine the songs sung ha
bitually by the negroes to see the fallacy of the ar
gument so often nand, that the nAgrneA are Uniformly
happy, unthinking, light-hearted, and contented
in the Condition of slavery. Through a majority
of their melodies there breathes a mournful spirit—
s moan of crushed hopes and weary experiences—
a wail of the longings out of the depths of the soul,
not utterly silenced by despair. liere is a wild
burst:
" Oh! bo mournin', mournin', mournin',
Oh I dar'll be mournin',
De judgment seat of Christ
Pore ole slave der, Jesus toll—
Massa didn't use he well ;
Christ send masoy down to hell—
De judgment seat of Christ !"
Here is a weary song, with the inevitable and
undying faith in the justice which Is always ex
pressed:
0, Oh, we'll join the forty tousand by-and-by,
So wo will I so we will
We'll join de forty tousand upon de golden shore,
And our sorrows will be gone forevermore, more,
more,
So they will
My way is dark and cloudy,
Su it tat no it is
My way is dark and cloudy,
All do day
Tho story of Moses and Pharaoh possesses a pc
culler fuse nation for tiao negro mind ; why It is so It
is not hard topon. 'A song having reference to it
was brought North, veralfied,and sot tO music. Tho
following is the tint verse :
" The Lord by Moses to Pharaoh said,
Oh, let my people go I
If not, Pll smite your first-born dead,
Then let my people go!
Oh, go down, Moses,
Away down to Egypt's land,
And toll King Pharaoh
To lot my people go."
Hero is a philosophical effort at a consolatory line
of meditation, which bears pretty good evidence of
being written by a white man :
" What are the joys of the white man herel
What aro his pleasures, say? _
He great he prowl, he haughty, fine,
I
While my banjo play.
He Bleep all day, he wake all night,
He full of care, his heart no light,
Ho great deal want, he little get,
He sorry so he fret.
• "Me envy not the white man here,
Though ho so proud and gay,
Ho great, he proud, ho haughty, tine,
While I my banjo play.
Me work all day, me sleep all night,
Me have no care, me heart Is light,
Me think not what to-morrow bring,
Me happy, so mo sing."
A. curious little song which the negroes have about
death Commences as follows :
" Old massa Death.
• He's a very little men,
Ho goes from door to door ;
He kills somo souls,
And he woundeth some,
Good Lord, remember me ;
Good Lord, remember inn;
Remember me as the years roll round,
Good Lord, remember me."
The following, which iksaid to ben very great fa
vorite with tho freedmen of the Mississippi States,
indicates a very accurate Hawn' fatten of the differ.
cmt,positions occupied by master and slave:
" Mars'r had a big black cat,
Go in, go in,
Mars'r had a line wool hat,
Go in, go in—
Darkoy had some possum fat,
Next go in,
Yellowal sweet as honey,
Go in, go in—
Nigger do do work and marerspond de money,
Nost go in."
And the following indicates a livoly perception of
the most immediate method of changing that posi
tion:
" Me got a wife, and rye got a baby,
Way up north, in Lower Ganady
Won't they smile when they see oid Shady
Comm', comin , —
Ball, mighty day!
"Good-bye, htassa Jeff ; good-byo, Massa Stephen,
Excuse die darkey for tahln , his
Guess by-and-by you'll see old Aby
Cumin', combo , —
Hall, mighty day !"
The following Is remarkably hilarious In Its char
acter, and Is said W be you popular at Fortress
Monroe :
Wake up snakes, pelicans, and sosh'nors,
Don't you hoar 'um condn',
Conlin , on do tun ;
Wake np. I tell ye, nit up JelTerson,
Bobolltion's
!,'
We wi!l closoivlth a specimen which, unless it has
some deep and inysterious significance, possesses
considerably more melody than meaning:
" Walk along walk along,
In the Indies' garden;
Walk along chalk slang,
In the ladies' garden.
" Old Ben Cusick layin' on do groun',
In the ladles' garden,
Ono eye peepin' up, Pother people , down,
In the ladles' garden.
41 Storr back, storr back, gentlemen,
In the ladies , garden—
Storr back, storr back, gentlemen,
And let the ladles walk."
It, Mai* ever, inculcates a lesson of gallantry, if
nothing else.
PAPER intim VEGETABLE Finita.—The National
Intelligence) , says the Hon. Immo Newton, the Com
missioner of Agriculture, has just received from
Austria a package containing the most remarkable
results of the manufacture of Indian cern fibre. It
embraces paper apparently equal to the finest linen
paper ' . and evidently superior in point of durability.
some of IL Is thought to be a good substitute for
parchment. Specimens of. colored paper arc re
markable for their evenness and delicacy. Tissue
paper, very light and transparent, is included ;
tracing and drn wing_pa papers , preferred by artists to
those of English and ranch manufacture; ciga
rette papers, black and brown, flower paper. in
beautiful colors, for the making of artidelal flow
ers ; silk paper of several qualities—in all sixty
samples of paper, thick and thin, white and
colored, substantially useful and delicately or
namental. They . constitute a wonder of inge
nuity, and illustrate the power of invention
to create now forms from common materials, and
the utility of patient effort In developing the perfec
tion of skill in industry. Nor is this all. Bleached
and unbleached crash, of.several kinds, are exhibi
ted, from the same material, the fibre of mun husks,
or the outer covering of the ear, called in our South
ern States "shricks. ,, But perhaps the most 'Suc
cessful result, in heavy fabrics, Is oilcloth for floors,
of which two different colors are shown, both appa
rently of superior durability. The process of paper
making has been for years in development. The
spinning and weaving of maize fibre was commenced
late in 1882. Both processes have been patented
In Austria and other European countries, and in
this country. These results have been attained un
der the direction of Br. Chevalier Auer de Weis
back, director of the Imperial printing establish
ment at Vienna, and Superintendent of the Impe
rial paper mills at Schitegelmuhl, Austria. All
flortions of the husk are converted into paper stuff,
spinning stuff or husk meal, which is mixed with
common flour. Nineteen per cent. of paper fibre.
ten of spinning material, and eleven of feed stuff
are obtained, together making forty per cent., leav
ing a refuse of sixty per cent., much of it fine
fibre and gluten, which may yet be filtered and
utilized.
A NOVEL PLEA.—A judge relates the following
incident that occurred in his practice : lie was try
ing a potty case, in which ono of the parties was not
able to pay counsel tees, and undertook to plead
his own cause. But he found, in the course of the
trial, that the keen and adroit attorney who man
aged the case for the other party was too much fur
him In legal strategy, evidently making the worse
appear the better cause. The poor man, Mr. A.,
was in a state of mind bordering upon desperation,
when the opposing counsel closed his plea, and the
case was about to be submitted to the justice for
decision. "May it please your Honor," said the
man, "may I pray 1" The judge was taken
somewhat by surprise, and could only say that
ho saw no objection. Whereupon Mr. A.
went down upon his knees, and made a
fervent prayer, in which he laid the merits
of his case before the Lord in a very clear and
methodical statement of all the particulars plead
ing that right and justice might prevail. "a Lord,
thou knowest that this law yer has misrepresented
the facts, and thou knowest that It is so and so"—to
the end of the chapter. Arguments which he could
not present In logical array to the understanding of
men, he had no difficulty addressing to the Lord,
being evidently better versed in praying than petti
fogging. When he rose from his knees, Esquire W.,
the opposing counsel, very mach. exasperated by the
turn which the case had taken, said: "Mr. Justice,
does not the closing argument belong to me 1" To
which the judge replied: "You can close with
prayer if you please." Esquire W. was In the habit
of praying at - home, but not seeing the propriety of
connecting his prayer with his practice, wisely for
bore, leaving poor Mr. A. to win his case, as he did,
by this novel mode of presenting it.
Ax ECCENTRIC WlLL.—Senor Joachim Machado,
who died in 1861 in Paris, where he was attorney to
the Portuguese embassy, left a curious will, which
had seventy-one codicils, and involved a lawsuit
only now settled. Here aro some parUcrilars of his
will :
I leave to the Athenreum of Paris 10,000 franca,
the interest of which at 5 percent. will be 500 francs.
Half of this interest to be paid to a professor of na
tural history, who shall lecture on the influence of
colors and patterns of dresses on the character of
animals. Again : My funeral shall take place at 3
P. M. the hour when the rooks of the Louvre come
home to dinner.' The Portuguese attache was de
voted to tame birds, and he desired that many
stuffed specimens should be placed In his coffin—that
his servant should entry to the ceremony 'one of
say favorite birds In his cage,' that certain birds
should be lot loose in the Bois de Boulogne on the
day of his funeral ; also that his horses should follow
the procession, but not draw any carriage. There
was another droll codicil: , niay.oc,-rerre—nuo-wea=
they, and
_I cant int.:nit, so./ will do a little good. I
leave hi. derChevalter 10,000 f. and I increase the an
nual pension of my servants I,ooof. a head.' Senor
Machado had, during his 111 e, erected his own tomb,
on which were engraved a sun, a bird, an ox, a dog—
an egg 'proper , surmounting them. Beneath was in
scribed : s Here reposes the author of ' The Theory
of Likeness.' This was one of his crotchets. He
was born a stammerer and short-sighted, and he
died blind. Passer-by, admire the bounty of na
ture., ).

. .
, .
The METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY will reach every
epot that inedlcluee will reach, and thousands of place,
bei,idos.
In consequence of the prejudice existing in regard to
Patent medicines, and the low estimate at which they
are held by people in general, it is my earnest desire that
my Metaphysical Discovery should not be received and
classed with patent medicines of the age you ask me
why. I answer, Is came it is a SCIaNTIFIC Era:l
- differing in application,tendenctes, and results.
from all other medicines and preparations which have
ever gone beforeit; and further, bemuse the Metaphy
sical Discovery is the result of inherited power to trace
effects to their firstcan.se. This may be styled originality
of thought; therefore, let it be understood that the Me
taphysical _Discovery is not only the result of inherited
power, but also the •
esult of a lif uneatenrehilosophical
research, and that. too, in antrack. The
mind of the discoverer could not be satisfied with any
development less than the first cause of disease. This
kind of knowledge, and this alone, is what a rational,
sensible, and enlightened people demand. Nine-tenths
of the physicians of the age are totally unfit for their
positions as toe power to trace effects to their cause be
lento oil , to the few.
Thisbo d assertion require.: no proof. Every home in
the land has the proof within its own doors. Disease
reigns and triumphs in every house, and is transmitted
from parent to child, and from genetratlon to generation,
thus entailing on our loved ones a life worse than death.
how correct Is the sentence—"My people pertah
want of knowledge." Awake awake ye slumber
ing world, and 'betake yourselves to thought Think

ONLY ONE ROOT.
There ie but one root in the human body which gives
birth to and sustains the life of disease, It is no matter
what name is given to disease: no matter where how
located in the system; no matter how long standing, or
whether it be hereditary or not. I might call the dis
eases which the body is subjected to, from tgnoranceof
the first canes, LEC lON. Remember, I do not treat dts
ease ; I treat the CAUSE. And there is but one cause.
Everything overlaying that is an effect. Were Ito
treat effects, I should only be hastening the patients, to
their long resting-place, in the lone churchyard, where
theyare now carried in thousands daily.
Reader, stop drugging and boring ! Betake yourself
to thought. Use your common sense and reason. you
Will find that every attempt to prevent and remove dis
ease from the human system has signally failed, up to
the present time.. Now, I say, with confidence, to the
world, try my Metaphysical Discovery. No matter
what the disease is that has taken hold of yon or your
children, test this medicine. It will annihilate the
root, scattering the effects to the four winds.
Remember, the Stomach and the Liver have nothing
to do with the ranee of disease. Tee treating of these
organs, for the cense. has sent millions to an untimely
grave. With confidence, I 'say, to the world that my
Metaphysical Discovery is the only remedy ever offered
to the world which will thoroughly annihilate the root
of disease. The discovery consists of three distinct
preparatiot s, one for the scalp, one far the eyes, and
one for the ear. These work in conjunction, and strike
at the root °fail disease. When I say all, I mean every
disease that ever infested the human body.
