Oh ! a wonderful stream is the river Time, As it runs through the realms of tears With a faultless rhythm and a musical rhyme, And a broad'ning sweep, and a surge sub- . limn I That blends with the ocean ot years. How the winters arc drifting like flakes of j enow, And the summcrd like buds between, And the year in the sheaf so they come and they go On the river's breast, with its ebb and flow, Af it glides through the shadow and sheen. TIhtc's a magical isle on the river of Time. Where the softest of airs are laying; There's a cloudless t-ky, and a tropica! clime, And a song as sweet as a vesper-chime, And the Junes with the roses are straying. u Hciortf tlic cna ot uieyc.ut i" And the name of this Isle is "The-long-Ago;" should be restored upon the basis of na A:id we bury our treasures there; : tionality and freedom.

I mean by being restored properly, that they ! there never were issues more distinctly 'submitted for settlement than these an tagonisms of Recession and slavery upon ! one side, and nationality and freedom, i upon the other; issues submitted to the with freedom. Then the issue was fair- ly made up, aud, after mauy victories, fairly won.

The I most practical way to enforce it is the : thing desired. Aud herein arise a mul titude of opinions.

Passing over Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana. I come directly to those States which have taken no steps towards reor ganization.

Iu each of these States military Gov ernors should be appointed. Small de taebmcnts of troops should be stationed at different poiuts as a police force mere-, ly.

Corbett once worked for a hatter in Broadway, but disagreed with him, and finally declined to work m his shop any longer for the following reasons; It ap pears that the hatter was in the habit of purchasing old hats, dressing them neat ly, and selling them as new articles. Corbett objected to this proceeding, and remonstrated with his employer, telling him he had no right to dispose of hats worth three dollars and fifty cents for five dollars. The hatter persisted, and Cor bett left. " In the earlier stages of the .rebellion Corbett took strong grounds in favor of maintaining the national authority. lie thought it right to shoot traitors wherc cver they could be found. Some female members of the church with whom he associated differed from him as to the propriety of such language ; besides they did not thiuk it right to kill under any circumstances, and a charge was made a- gainst him, though in indefinite forms of having done that which was "inconsist ent" with Christianity. When he in quired for particulars, he was answered that he had aunounced ins wiuiugnes3 to I . . . 1 1 1 i "'shoot men like dogs.
