POET I C A L.
NOMICIIOOV N IAKFA.
The following exquisite little poem was written
by Mia Maris Lacobtb, of Savannah, Georgia,
ana originally published, we think, In the Southern
Ithurrftman. It will commend Itself, by its lonoh
tng pathos, to all readers. The incident which it
commemorates wns unfortunately too common in
both armies :
Into a ward of the whitewashed walls,
Where the dead and the dying lay
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls
Bomebody't darling was borne one day.
Somebody's darling ! soynnngand so brave,
Wearing still on hit pale, sweet face.
Boon to be hid by the dust of the grave,
The lingering light of his boyhood grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of gold
Kissing the snow of that fair young brow,
Fair are the lips of delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from the beautiful, blue veinod face.
Brush every wandoring, silken thread ;
Cross bis bands aa a sign of grace
Somebody t darling is still and dead.
Kin htm once for Somebody11 sake,
Murmur a prayer soft and low,
One bright curl from the cluster take
They were somebody's pride, yon know.
Somebody's hand hath rested there ;
Was it a mother's soft and white?
And have tbe lips of asistor lair
Been baptised in those waves of light ? '
Qod knows best. He was somebody's love ;
Somebody's heart enshrined bim there;
Somebody wafted his name above.
Kight and morn on the wings of prayer.
Somebody wept when be marched away,
Looking eonandsnme, brave and grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay ;
Somebody olung to bis parting hand.
Somebody's watching and waiting for him,
Yearning to hold bim again to her heart;
There he lies with the blue eyes dim,
And smiling, child-like lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Pausing to drop on his grave a tear ;
Grave on the wooden slab at his bead
"SomtJiody's darling lies buried here."

TRIUMPHAL PROCIRKSS OK J. DAVIS FROM
FORTRESS MONROE TO RICHMOND.
TU "SjwtUicood," IlkUmond, Va., )
May 13, 1807. f
In caHin a retrospective glance bnekerd
over the pathway uv the past, I kin see
many mistakes wich I her made. I lievn't
alluz made the most uv oportoonitics I
hev doubtid when doubtin wuz a crime.
and I- hev stood shivrin on the brink and
feared to land) away, when on the totucr
side uv the Jordon wuz pelf and profit. Our
foresite isn't alluz ez our hindsite. The
great error uv my life wuz in not ulunrin
headlong into the war cz a Confedrit Major
General, distinguishin myself for crooclty to
Fedral prizners, and bein at the close uv tbe
tratrisiille struggle reseevd and embraced ez
a long-lost brother by tho Northern people
(lettin em kill fattid calves for me), aud uv
coorse bein the objeck uv sympathy cz a
mnrter by the Southern people. In this
sitooasben a man hez two strings to his bow.
He brings to his support the two extremes.
He fetches together Horris Greely from tho
one side and Genral Boregard from tbe
tother they embrace, and standin onto
both their sboldcrs he hez wat may be called
a soft thing uv it.
I wuz led into these train uv reflections
by tbe experience I have bed witb our sain
ted cheef, Jefferson Davis. I wuz sent hith
er by the President to sue that everythin
wuz done for the comfort uv the illustrious
man that cood be done, on the occasbun uv
his contcmplatid trip to Richmond. Par
tikelerly wuz I charged to see that every
thing Ciilkelatid to jar into bis sensitive
feelius be removed everything wich cood
wound his sense uv benrin, seein or smellin.
The grute man had consented to go. He
bed bin, be felt, illegally deprived uv liber
ty uncoustooahnclly in fact and ef he
shood consult his own feclins ho wood re
manc, but to forgive wuz diviuc. Viewin
these perceedins iu the lite uv an apology he
wood go.
The day bed arrived. The steamer wuz
at the Fortress, carefully prepared to receive
its illustrious Imrdi-n. It hud been thorough
ly cleaned and fumigated, the cabins bed
bin nooly furuisht, and speBhl altcrashcns
mado for the President and party. There
wuz Yoonited States officers and soljers
aboard, but out of respeck for the fcelins uv
their illustrious "prizner," ez he is technical
ly called, they kep tbeirselvcs carefully out
of bis site, that the color uv their uniforms
might not awaken onpleasant rcflechena.
So pcrfeck, indeed, woz the arrangements,
that the railin nv the boat, which was ori
ginelly bloo, was kivered with gray cloth,
and tho eagle finger-head uv the craft wuz
sawed off. This wuz sejested by a eminent
conservative of Koo York, who hez a large
Southern trade wicb he) didn't prejoodis by
bis course dooring the war. Tbe ladies'
cabin wuz originclly assigned to the party,
but a female passenger lied no more regard
for the comfort uv the marter than to die on
the passage, and they were deprived uv it.
The Conservative merchant insisted that the
corpse be chucked overboard, but Mr. Davis,
wim a magnauimity wlncli wuz alluz char
acteristic uv bim, refuozed. "No," said be,
let her rest there. I kin endoor the incon
venience, severe as it is. It i but: one more
attempt to break my spent." . ; ,'
ah tne way up ther wuz the meat f etch in
deference shown bim. At every landin the
people were assembled to greet bim, wich
lie acknowledged it with a condesenshen I
never saw off the stage. He conversed but
little on the passage up. Ez the boat was a
sweepin majestically past pints made hiator

ness, into wicb we seeled ourselves, and wuz
driven off at a dignified pace to that resort
uv the aristocracy uv Yirginny the Spotts
wood. Here more considerasben wuz shown.
Mr. Davis bein averse to walkin up stairs, a
suite uv rooms bed bin prepared for him on
tha fust floor, and the presence uv General
Burton, uv tbe Fedral army, bein obnoxshus,
be wuz assigned by the ex-President room
at tho further end uv the corridor. ''His
nerves bain vry sensitive, heavy mattio was
lata aown an the balls, and tha servants uv
the bouse wuz especially directed to wear
list slippers, aod to walk on their tip toes.

Only wunst wuz his buzzum wrung, and
that the Government cood not prevent. He
wuz a standin at the winder, gazin out upon
Richmond, his mind revertin to the time
when it wuz the Capital uv his Confedracy,

There wuz sum triflin legal formalities

to bail. There wuz a stir in the court.

I coodent restrme myself no more. Bust

contained us and rent the air with cheers.
We reacht tbe hotel, and after embracin his
wife, a season of religious exercises wuz
held. The clergyman who bed excloosivo
charge of Davis' piety dooring the war, waz
present, and be offered prayer. He prayed
fervently that the Lord wood forgive the
people of the Korth for the wrong they ted
done our sainted head, that ho wood forgiv,
cf possible the late bead, uv the Fedral Go
vernment who bad opposed him and the
glorious coz, and ef Divine mercy could
stretch so far that be wood forgive the Col
onel uv Michigan cavalry wich bed hunted
down the Saiut who wuz now in our midst,
and made uv him a captive. He prayed for
forgiveness for the reckli'EB men of the
North who invaded Yirginy ; for the noose
pnper condiikters who had aboozed bim
who is now with us, and particklerly Horris
Greely, who bed this day iu some measure
atoned for his previous wickedness. He
prayed that th6 blessius uv Heven might
rest, first, upon the city uv Richmond, then
upon the balance uv Virginy, and afterward
upon the rest uv the Southern States, and
wound up with a fervent appeal that the
Ethiopians, wich coodent change their skins,
might see the error of their ways and return
to their normal condishen.
After this the President received his
friends.
I am not Permitted to give more uv the
President's plans than tljis: He will re
main iu secloosion, and will take no part
whatever in politics until after his final ac
quittal in November. He don't feel at liber
ty to take bold uv the Government so long
ez ther is even a techniklo charce arrinl,im
Our friends in the Northern States, wbo ex
pected him to take the Btump in their be
half this fall, will be disappinted. I return

A comely face and pleasant address are

they fear for them. A romp of a girl, the
boy-girl of our school days, seldom canses
uneasiness at homo. She protects herself by
her abandon, and learns modesty in fearless

In large cities like our own, young ladies
cannot be too careful to inquire the ante
cedents of a gentleman before admitting
bim to their homes. Meeting a stranger at
a fashiocabje party is far from proving him
a gentleman. He may be a waif first seen
by your friend amid the flotsam and jetsam
of some summer resort, or bis acquaintance
may have commenced by the assiduity with
which he picked up falling gloves, or the
steadiness of bis stare at the church door on
Sundays, which would admit only of recog
nition or insult, and the former wn nr.f,..
red as the least of the evils. Tbe probabili
ty is that an agreeable and well informed
stranger is a geutleman, the chances are that
ho is a rasca!. The fact thut a man's name
is Brown, and that he is well dressed, la nnt
sufficient. It must be ascertained whether
his parents were named Brown, bow they
subsisted, how the present Brown subsists,
and whether his chances for future subsis
tence are unclouded. A prudent man will
invest in neither bouse nor land until the
title of such be clear. A prudent woman
snouia can no man trend or acquaintance
until bis title to the name of gentleman be
ns cicar as nonesty can make it. There may
bo romance in new acquaintances, but most
romontic young men desert their inamoratas
when romance ceases to be profitable.
Brothers and fathers owe it, no less a duty
fo their Bisters and daughters, than to them
selves, to find out the character of the young
uicii mui ircquent uicir nouses, unly ras
cals would object to this, and honest men
would seem all the brighter for the investi
gation. Had this been done by one of our
city pnysicians, perhaps to-day be would
have been happier, and not see a daughter
broken hearted at home, and his son-iu-law
occupying a felon's cell.
If daughters would be more careful in the
selection of their friends, there would be
fewer divorces and desertions, seductions
and bonrt breakings in this wido world, and
we might therefore have a great deal more
of sunshine and much less of shadow.

The battle of Arbela was the eloquence
of daring on the part of the young Ma
cedonian Kiug. That of Tbermopylru was
the eloquenco of patriotism on tho part of
Leonidas nnd his Helots. Tho battle of
Austerutz was the eloquence of bravery
on the part of young Corsica. The scone
of Valley Forge was the eloquenco of fait K
on the part of Washington. Tbe scene
after the battle of the Wilderness com
bined all these elements, and added the
eloquence of silence.
The well known result of that fierce
conflict was adverse to the army of the
United States. Gen. Leo had flung one
wing of bis army between our forces and
tho base of their supplies, which would
require another battle to regain them.
Each division and corps commander knew
this sad condition of affairs. They were
all summoned to a council of war, to be
had at one o'clock at night. They were
the saddest steps ever taken by that band
of devoted hearts. Fifteen thousand brave
soldiers, dead or dying, or wounded, were
lying on the field hard by.
One after another entered, and after mn
king a noiseless salute silently took their
seats. Generals Schoficld, Meade, Burn
side, Sickles, Howard, and others, I be
lieve were there. Not a word was spo
ken. A full half hour thus passed by,
Their emotions were too deep for utter
ance. Hopes of millions bung ou the de
cision of that council.
At lengtn uenerai urnot asked cacii one
in succession if they hod any advice to
proffer. Each one answered with a sad
monosyllable, no.
The commnadcr then wroto a few lines,
and handed the slip to General Meade, and
be retired. This was repeated until all
were gone, and tho General was left alone.
One ot the staff of a division commander,
who was sick, was the last to retire, and ho
is authority for the above.
' All were Ignorant of each other's order.
They felt assured that retreat had been
directed. Any other alternative would
have been believed to be madness. Had
tbey known that the order had been given
to advance, instant and universal mutiny
would have been raised. That eloquent
silence for which be lias ever been noted,
was the key to Jus success there.
The next morning each corps moved, and
General Lee, tbe instant he perceived it, with
vehemence exclaimed : "Our enemy have a
leader at last, and our cause is lost 1" He
bad bid his officers the night before to let
their soldiers sleep long. But now he saw
tbe army be thought utterly defeated mov
ing round between him and the base of his
supplies.
Ho hastened to begin retracing bis course,
and confessed to an artilliery officer of the
Confederate army that the doom of their
cause was scaled.

"Leaning back in a deep chair, no one

Important to Fanners,
The Commissioner of Internal llevenne.
has given the following instructions to As
sessors relative to tbe income tax, which
our farmers will read carefully :
x irei ino iarmer s profits from the sales
of live stock are to be found by deducting
from the gross receipts for animals sold, the
purchase money paid for tbe samo.
Second No deduction can bo mado by
the farmers for the valve of service rendered
by his minoi children, whether be actually
pays for such servico or not. If his adult
children work for him and receive compen
sation for their labor, they are to be regard
ed as other hired laborers in determining
bis income.
Third Money paid for labor, except such
as is used .or employed in domestic service,
or in the production of articles consumed
in the family of the producer, may be do
ducted. Fourth No deduction can be allowed in
any case for the cost of unproduced labor.
If house servants are employed a portion of
melt nine hi iirouucuve i a nor, sucu as mak
ing of butter and cheese for sale, a propor
tionate amount of the wages paid them may
be deducted.
Fifth Expenses for ditching nnd clearing
new land are plainly expenses for permanent
improvements, and not deductable.
Sixth The whole amount expended for
fertilizers, applied during the year to the
farmer's lands may be deducted, but no de
duction is allowed for fertilizers produced
on the farms. The cost of seed produced
for sowing or planting may be deducted.
Seventh Farmers will not be required to
make return of produce consumed in their
own immediate families.
Eighth If a person sells timber standing,
tbe profits are to be ascertained by estimat
es; the value of the land after the removal
of the timber, aud adding thoreto the amount
received for the timber, and from the sum
thus obtained deducting the estimated value
of the land on the first day of January, 1802,
or oo tbe day of purchase," if purchased since
that.
Ninth A farmer should make return of
all bis produce sold within the year, but a

A New Nconrfte-Whole Field of
CJrnln Iestroyed by Plgeonn.
We learn from rellablo sources that the
furmers of many of the western counties are
much troubled with pigeons; in fuct, these
birds have become a perfect scourge. Vast
flocks have made their npperatice, the air in
many places being usually darkened j nnd,
having migrated a long distance from the
south, tbey are very voracious. These flocks
alight upon tho fields of new sown grain,
and rolling over nnd over like the waves of
the sea, pick up every kernel of grain In
sight. It is impossible to drive them away
they aie unmindful of the firing of guns;
throwing of stones, Bhouting of men, or
barking of dogs, and it is au easy task to
kill any number of them with a polo. One
farmer residing two miles east of Indepen
dence had sown threo acres of wheat, and
was preparing to harrow it in, when the
pigeons made their appearance and gobbled
i 1 j n-"ivi ucuuc no uuuii.1 gei ii cover
ed. Some fields containing forty acres were
absolutely covered with pigeons, and al
though the sportsmen waged an incessant
warfare against them, and killed great num
bers, their places were soon supplied with
others. Hunting pigeons has lost the charm
of novtlty, and the main question is how to
save the grain. With the present high price
of Beed wheat, and its scarcity, this becomes
a question of serious consideration.
A great number of fields will have to be
sowed a second time, and we hear of some
farmers who are doing it the third time.
P rom all accounts, tho main depredations of
the feathered scourge appear to lie confined
to the region of country bordering the Wap
stpinlcon, as but comparatively little damage
is reported along tho Cedar river. Dubunvt

A German paper thus describes the ap
pearance of Count Bismarck in the North
German Parliament :
" He usually enters tho Chamber a short
time after tho debates have opened, bows
shortly to the president, and then sits down
on the ministerial bench, where be occupies
the first place. His neighbours on the right,
who are mostly generals, nobles, and high
officials rise when he comes to take his scut,
but their example is scarcely ever followed
by the Poles and Catholics, who sit on his
left. His speeches are very uncouth in style,
and his voice is sharp and grating. When
excited, he loses he thread of his discourse,
and not unfrequently commits faults of
grammar and const ruction. At the same
time there is an epigrammatic inrisiveness
in his short, sharp sentences, and a pictnres
queness of expressions in his style, which
go far to redeem his oratorical defects ; and
if the form in which he clothes bis ideas is
somewhat harsh and repelling, there can be
no doubt as to the value and effect of the
ideas themselves. His snpprli or A full nf
