Nature decked in gayest beauty, For 'tis summer's last good-bye Wliyshould all things fair in nature Don their livelist tints to die J Why upon the loftiest branches Should the leaves be blushing so To impress us with their beauty, And to conquer 'ere they go! Borne have chosen scarlet drcsseg, Some are decked in green and gold. Others v.crc their summer garments, Though, the winds are growing cold. All are happy, all arc joyous; 'Tis perhaps their gala day, And they meet with blushing beauty Ere they hasten far away. Ah ! but listen, is that music 1 Are there greetings gay or sad! Do they tremble now for sorrow Or because they're gay and glad ! 'Tis not music that we're hearing. It is but the north wind's breath As he issues forth his orders, And their sentence now is death. Look upon the moss green sward, It is not their gala day ; They are drcsed in gold and crimson, For they're hastening to decay, And the blush we're so admiring Is the forerunner of doom; Like the hectic flush of beauty, 'Ere it shinks inlo the tomb Or the rosey hue of even, That is glowing in the West, When night impatient seeks to reign, And the sun sinks to his rest. On the little Miami Railroad is a station called Morrow. Anew brakesmen on the xoad, who did not know the names of the t:itioi:s, was approached by a stranger the other day, while standing by his train at the depot, who inquired ' Does this train go to Morrow to da)-!" -1 i'o," said the brakesman, who thought ihe stranger was making game of him, " it :goc.s in day. yesterday, week after next.

You can go to-morow or any other day you pic; se." "Won't you answer a civil Question civi lly ? Will this train go to-Jay to Morrow !" " ATot exactly. It will go to-day and come Lack to-morrow.'' As the stranger who wanted to go to Mor row was shout to leave in disgust, another employee, who knew the station alluded came along and gave him theriquried infor mation. Big Orchards.

My Dear Sir : I was so much impres sed with our conversation of last Tuesday, i that I returned immediately to my room j and wrote down such of the points made f as I could remember, and having ponde ' red them all the way home, am to-day, I more than crer, convinced that, if cor rected by 3'ou and returned to me for ! either public or private use, it will "0 far to promote a good understanding between you and our leading men. It will also unite the public mind Iu favor of your plan, so far at least as you would carry it out without modification. You are aware that 1 do not associate much with men in politial life, but rath er with those who representing the ad vanced moral sense of the country, earn estly labor for the good of our people, i without hope of, or even desire for office or other immediate reward. 1 lie latter lass desire earnestly to understand your C administration. I think the publication of your pro- j cess of reconstruction, with the reasons . for your father iu it, will commend it- j self to their candid judgment, and, as I , told 'ou, inspire our whole rsorthern peo ple with confidence in your administra tion, j The report is meager and unsatisfac- tory, but 1 think it couvej's. for the most part, the spirit of our conversation. Therefore, although thc whole tcuor of your words led uie to believe it was not , intended to be kept private, 1 have re frained from answering the specific in quiries of anxious friends, whom I met on my way home, lest I might, iu some ; wa leave a wrong imprcssiou on their minds. Truly your friend, Ocorgc L. Stearns The President of the United States Washington; D. C, Oct. 3 IU a. m. 1 have just returned from an interview with President Johnson, in which he talk ed for an hour on the process of recon struction of Rebel Suites. His manner was as cordial, and nis conversation as Tree, as in 1863, when in Nashville. met him duilv His contenance is healthy, even more so than when I first knew him. I remarked, that the people of the North were anxious that the process of reconstruction should be thorough, aud the' wished to support him in the ardu ous work, but their ideas were confused by the conflicting reports .constantly cir- ulatcd. and especially by the present position of the Democratic part'. It is "iudustriously circulated in the Demora tic Clubs that he was going over to them. He laughingly replied. "Major, have you never known a man who for many years had differed from your views be cause you were in advance of him, claim them as his own wheu he came up to your stand-point ?" I replied, I have often. He said, So have I, aud went on : the Democratic party finds its old position untenable, and is coming to ours; if it has come up to our position, I am glad of it. You and I need no preparation for this conversation; . " - we can talk freely on this subject, for the i thoughts are familiar to us; we can be , perieciiy trauK wun eacn otner. tie men commenced with saying that the States are in the Union, which is whole and in divisible.

Y'ou could uot have broached the sub iect as equal suffrage, at the North, seven years ago, aud we must remember that the changes at the South have been more :.l tlm-j tinvo hnnn nVilifrnrt fn !lfi- i cent more unpalatable truth than the North has : we must give them time to h jarge affair3 be comprel1eodtia and digested at once. We must give them time to understand their new position. I havo nothing to conceal in these mat- tcrs, and have no desire or willingness to take indirect courses to obtain what we want. Our Government is a grand and lofty structure ; in searching for its foundation we find it rests on the broad basis of po pular rights. The elective frauchise is not a natural right, but a poiitical right. Iam opposed to giving the States too much power, and also to a great consolidatiou of power in the Central Government. If I interfered with the vote in the Re bel States, to dictate that the negro shall vote, I might do the same thing for my own purposes in Pennsylvania. Our on ly safety lies m allowing each State to control the right of voting by its own ,aws- and we have tne power to control the Rebel States if thev 20 wroncr. If they rebel, we have the army, and can control them by it, and if necessary, by legislation also. If the General Govern ment controls the right to vote in the States, it may establish such rules as will restrict the vote to a small number of per- sons, and thus create a central despostism. My position here is different from what it would be if I was in Tennessee. 'There I should try to introduce negro suffrage gradually ; first those who had j scrved iu thc army J thosc who coultl read and write, and perhaps a proper qua tion for others, say $200 or 250. lifica- It would not do to let the negroe have universal suffrage now; it would breed a war of races. There was a time in the Southern States when the slaves of large owners looked down upou non-slaveowners be cause they did not own slaves ; the larg er thc number of slaves their masters owned, the prouder they were, and this has produced hostility between the mass of the whites and thc negroes. The ou rages are mostly from non-slaveholding whites against thc negro, and from the negro upon the-slaveholding whites. The negro will vote with the late mas ter whom he does not hate, rather than with the non-slaveholding white, whom he hate. Universal suffrage would create another war, not against us, but a war of races. Another thing. This Government is the freest and best on the earth, and I feel sure is destined to last. Rut to secure this, we must elevate and purify the ballot. I for many years con tended at the South that Slavery was a Polltlcal weakness, but others said.it was political strength ; they thought we gained thrcelifths representation bv it: I con iwuucu m.ic nu iusi, tu-uiLu.s.

At Corry we gain the first realizing sense of thc magnitude of this trade by an inspection of the large oil refinery of Mr Samuel Downer, wnicti nas a daily- refining capacity of 500 barrels.

Here, again, we observed the same state of abandonment, in a less degree, as be fore. Cherry Run has had its day, and now, out of 2,000 wells put down, less than 200 are paying expenses. Thc der ricks iu some places stand as thick as masts in the North River. There are two or three refineries on tire creek. Prom Rouseville, which is at the mouth of Cherry Run, to Oil City, we continued down Oil Creek. Oil City, at the junc-j tion of the latter stream with the All lle- ghany, is principally important as a point for shipping oil in flat boats down the riv er to Pittsburgh. It is like the rest, a wretched little place perched up under the brow of a steep bank, consists of one long, wretched street, and several large store houses for oil. A good deal of this trade will no doubt be diverted from the place by the railroads now building. RENO, A CITY OF TIE FUTURE.
