MUSTERED OUT.
Hail to the hero mustered out,
Let the black-throated cannon shout,
And fling to the wind the stars.
Rejoice, O ye jubilant bells.
The hiart of the patriot swells,
And tears ovvrBow from their wells.
When we see the soldiers' scars.
We welcome him home from the field,
Untarnished his sabre and shield,
Untainted his laurel crown.
Chumpion of the brave and free,
O w battpirit and dash had he ;
God grant that we may never see
A cloud on his grand renown.
O now let us muster him in,
Where the ranks of the true begin,
To fight for themselves again;
hile he has been striking the blow,
At the rebels, another toe
Hath laid many a brave man low,
Who passed through the leaden rain.
A LIVELY SPEECH.
Tho Rev. 3Ir.GaiI.iher, formerly of Quin
cy, Illinois, ami now pastor of the First Bap
tist Church in Jurcokitn, cot o:i the lol
lowing racy speech at ttie Congregational re
union in Mew l oi k city
Hike re-unions. They ruboff yourdinomi
natkmal angles, they bring us closer togeth
er; they melt that most frightful thing on
earth religiousetique;te an J are to ine like
Sydney Smith, s fiit love kiss, a perp ?tual
remedy against the blues. I suppose I was
invited here because Baptists are looked up
on as a sort of poor relations ox the great
Congregational family relations who pro
tect the faith in a stingy, close-communion
kind ot way cork ins th's nozzle of our bel
lows to save the wind. I read latelv, in Mr.
Tilton's paper, that there were no Congre
gationahsts in thehouth, and it was a mat
ter of gratulaaoti that such was the case. Is
not that 'to be understood in a Pickwickian
sense? Why, there are two million excel
lent Congregatinalists there all loyal all
Baptists and all black. We Baptists are
really good Cngregationalists, on!' a little
more so. As the Irishman told his friend
that in America "one man was as good as
another and better too," so we claim to hold
the principle as well as our neighbors and
a little better tio. You may plate us at a
lower seat at the fainilj' table, below the salt
indeed. We will be content, but still be-lit-ve.
that, "where M'Cfroger sits is the
head of the table." We have met to cele
brate the complete overthrow of the rebel
lion, t is dead, thank God, and this is
part of its joyful funeral. We meet to
sing.
'Believing, we rejoice to see the curse removed."
I know a young fellow who sat out late one
night, and ihe next morning felt badly the
want of some Scidlitz powders. lie did not
tpuite understand how they were to be taken,
so he swallowed first the white paper then
the blu one. The result was a great com
motion inside. Well Sherman went in first
with white papers at Atlanta. Grant next
with a very blue one at Petersburg, and the
result has been such a blow up, that the
Confederacy, like Holmes' one horse shay,
went to pieces at once. The days of South
ern chivalry are gone. What is left ot it
is a perambulating pestilence with a hun-
ureu thousana dollars lor whoever win a-
bate it. It never was letter than a dea
dog. Xo elevation has helped it ; the high
er you iaised it, the wider was its o.ijn-e.
It was a chivalry guilty of robbing Ver
mont banks, of attempting to burn peaeefu
cities, of massaeremg the black troops at
tort billow, of starving and torturing cap
tured soldiers, and its hands are dripping
with the blood of our murdered 1 resident.
It was most cowardly and cruel, and it is
dead. (J fort in Av.s. J low could it
expect to live ? Its crimes cried out asrainst
it. No wonder the Lord put it between the
upper mid neither millstone, called Grant
and Sherman, ami trround it to pieces. If
we catch Davis, what shall be done with him?
"Hang him." Amen up, up with him. I
kuow hanging is the worst use you can put
a man to, but tne worst use is an uavis
is fit for. '
W hen 1 stood in bumntcr, and saw our
flag go up at last, and, from the glittering
tail unfurled, shine like a meteor, stream
ing to the wind, I asked, why is it that the
hand ot-an old man to-day lilts that with
eae to its old home, when all the .North
had not, in four years, thepower to do it?
Ihe answer is tour millions ot bondmen
stood upon it. We ask for the negro the
land he paid for Ions ao if ever sweat
paid for anything; and we ask that the
right to vote the ri2ht to make true your
Declaration of Independence be no longer
withheld from hun. He is not ht tor iree-
dom, you saw True, freedom, like a new
made garment, must be worn somewhat be
fore it tits vou gracefully. What shall we
ay, "Don't go into water .till you learn to
swim f iveep back the ballot box. and vou
keen the nejrro from respecting himself
Vou keep him like flower seed on a shop shelf
from ever growing. If ever russet-cheeked
apple, if ever peach-hanging lucious and
sun-kissed said "Come and eat me, don't
wait till I rot." The negro is to-day saying
to us, "Don't pity me. don't patronize me,
give me my rights ; and 1 II help myseit.
Our patronage is a hindrance now. Liet
them alone. "Is not a patron, my Lord,"
said sturdy Satu Johnson, "one who looks
with unconcern or a man struggling for life
in the water, and when he had reached
ground,eneutubered him with kindnesses?"
And, now, what word shall we send to
our friends over the water? First of all,
that we are delighted at their great disap
pointment, and hope they may have much
more of it no, our first message must be to
Gen. McClellan : "We have the honor to
announce that all is quiet on the. Potomac."
To John Bright.to Goodwin Smith, to Mill,
to Foster, to man v others, wesendour heart j
'thanks fortheirkind words, when, words were
worth something to us. Tell them to come
over and see us, they will be received with a
hundred thousand welcomes. But to those
who laughed at our calamity, who mocked
when our fear came, who slandered and a
bused us, who called our dead President an
awkward buffoon, and our brave soldiers the
sweepings of our wicked city, what message
shall we send to them, to the limes, the
leiegrapii, jjiaclcwootl s Magazine to my
Lords Derby and Broughan,andahost of oth-
rry t lhis, that democracy is not a failure,
nor the great Republic a bubble that is
burst ; that Richmond has fallen, and with
it the rightjot the few to lord,it over the many ;
that slavery "and rebellion, lovely in their lives,
in death are not separated ; that the hideous
pretensions to property in man has vanish
ed with their pet, Jeff Davis ; that we au
swer their taunt of "a mere mob," "impa
tient and fickle," . ''insensate and degener
ate,". by saying that James Buchanan
would not be living to-morrow under like
circumstances in any other nation under
heaven nor Would Lee and Johnston ride
unharmed through other streets ; that
Brother Jonathan is yet but a stripling, and
when he straightens himself up and places
his hands upon his hips, it may be seen that
his elbows cover the one Canada, the other
Mexico, that our beys are coming home vic
torious, and are entirely willing to make
those who abuse us keep a civil tongue in
their heads ; that we are obliged to them
for their sympathy they have lately proffer
ed us, but think it would have been much
more acceptable four years ago, when the
Alabama steamed out of their port ; that
though our best and bravest lies dead, so
does not the cause he died for ; and if he
who uttered "Emancipation" has fallen,
"yet the immortal fire shall outlast the or
gan who louveyd it ; and the breath of lib
erty, like the word of the holy man, will not
die with the prophet but survive him. "
Too Proud to Work.
Some, r cople are ashamed to work. They
are too ilroud to be seeu carrying a market
basket, or helping to wash, or wheeling a
barrow, or putting in coal, or dijging in the
garden. They are afraid to let others see
that they work. And whenever they must
do anything of this kind they wat until it is
night, or go where nobody can see them, cr
they go round the back way. If there are
any boys or girls who take the S'. V. Jles
sfnger, I wish to tell them a story of a great
man who was not ashamed to work.
On one occasion, during the Revolutiona
ry war, ashingto;: was going around in
uisguise, to visit some log torts that were
being built. In the course of his walk, he
met with a company of men who were har
at work under the command of a corporal.
I his petty oluctr, proud of his elevation a
hove the common soldiers, was walking a-
bout. full of the thought of his own im
portance and crying out, every now and
then, "come, work away boys," but he nev
er offered to help them. But Washington,
when he saw that the men had more work
than thev could well do, took off his coat at
once and began to help them saying, "Spring
to it, mv brave fellows! we are working tor
our couutry : let us do it with a good will
In this way he worked with them til! they
had finished ; and then when he was putting
on lus coat, lie asked the ollicer why he did
not help the m;n when he saw that they
h ,d more work than they could well do.
Maiming up straight with a proud look on
his face, the officer replied, "I would have
you know, sir, that 1 am a cortoral. I don
icork." "Oh, are you sir?" said Washing
ton, "you are a corporal and don't work.
w ell, l would have you know that am
General XVashin otoi, Commander-in- Chief t
amt 1 do icorlc.
Don't you think that the corporal mu
have felt ashamed? Now if evet you begin
to feel to proud too work, just think of
Washington and the corporal. S. S. Mes

Over Work.
Unwise above man is the man who consid
ers every hour lost which is not spent in
reading, writing or study, and not more ra
tional is she who thinks even' moment of
her time lost which does not find her sew
ing. We once heard a great man advise
that a book of some kind be carried in the
pocket, to be used in the case of an unoccu
pied moment, such was his practice. He
died early and fatuitous. There are women
who after a hard day's work, will sit and
sew by candle-or gas light until their eyes
are almost blinded, or until certain pains a
bout the shoulders come on, which are in
supportable, and are only driven to bed by
physical inability to work any knger. The
sleep of the overwork ed, like that of those
who do not work at all, is unsatisfying and
unrefreshing, and both alike wake up in
weariness, sadness and langor with an in
evitable result, both dying prematurely.
Let no one work in pain or weariness. When
a man is tired he ought to lie down until he
is fully rested, when with renovated strength
the work will be better done, done the soon-
er, and done with a seit-sustainea alacrity.
The time taken from seven or eight hours
sleep out of each twenty-four, is time
not gained, but the time much more than
lost : we can cheat ourselves but we cannot
nature. A certain amount of food is neces
sary to a healthy body, and if less than that
amount be furnished, decay commences
that very hour. It is the same with sleep,
and any one who persists in allowing him
self less than nature requires, will only
hasten his a rival at the mad house or the
grave. 1 his is especially true ot DrainworK.

! ME. NASBT LAYS DOWN A PLATF0SM
FOE THE COMING CAMPAIGN.
Saint'sRest, (wich is in the Stait )
uv Noo Gersey, June 23, 1S65, j
These is the dark days uv the Dimocrisy
ine misrorchoons that betell our armies in
front of Richmond, the fall uv our kappy
tie, follered by the surrender uv our armies
uranc and onerman nez hurt us. jut
leeders are eether pinin in loathesum dun
guns, inkarseratid by the hevin-defyin, Man
destroyin, tyranikle edix uv our late lament
ed President, or air barskin in the free air
uv Italy or Kanady. We hev no way uv
keepin our voters together. Opposin the
war won t do no good, fer before the next e
lekshun the heft of our voters will hev dis-
ktvered that the war is over. The feer uv
drafts may do suthin in sum parts uv Penn
sylvany and Suthern Illinoy, fer sum time
yit, but that can't be dependid on.
But we hev wun resources fer a Ishoo
ther will alluz be a Dimocrisy, so long ez
ther's a Nigger.
Ther is a uncompromisin dislike to the
iNigger in the mind uv a ginooine Dimmo-
crat. The Spanish bull-fighter, when he
wants to inflame the bull to extra cavortin,
waves a red flag albre him. Wen j'oo de
sire a Dimocrat to froth at the mouth 300
will find that a black face will answer the
purpus. Ther4 the nigger is, to-day, our
best and only holt. Let us use him.
Fer the guidanse uv the faithful, I shel
lay down a few plain rools to be observed,
in order to make the most uv the. cappytle
we hev :
1. Alluz assert that the nigger will never
be able to taik care uv hisselt, -but will alluz
be a public burden. He may, possibly, give
us the lie by going to work. In sich a e-
mergencytue duty uv every uimocrat is
plain. He . must not be allowed to work.
Associashens must be orgenized, plegded to
neether give him employment, to work with
hi;, to work fer enny one who will give him
work, or patronize enny one who duz. (I
wood sejest that sich uv ez hez bin forchoo
nit enuff 2 git credit, pay a trifle on account
so ez to make our patronage worth suthin.)
This course rigidly and persistcnly follerd.
wood drive the best uv them to steelin, and
the balcncc.to the poor-houses, pre ven what
we hev alluz claimed, that they are a idle
and vishus race. Think, my brethren, wat
a inspiriu effeck our poor-houses end jails
"iill uv niggers wood hev on the people! My
i.'it ixpaods ez I contemplait the delightful
vision.
2. Likewise assert that the nigger will
cum north, and take all the good places,
throwin all our skild mekaniks out uv work
by underbidden uv cm. This mite be open
to 2 obgechuns, to wit: It-crosses slitely
Rool the 1, and men mite say, ef ther's jist
enuff labor fer wat!s here, why not perhib
bit furriners fruui cumin? I anser. Its the
biznis uv the voter to reconsile the contra
dikshun he may bleeve eether or both.
Ez to the sekund obgecshun, where is the
Dimocrat who coodent be underbid and stan
it even to starvation, ef the underbidden
wuz dun by a man uv the proud Kaukashen
race? And whpr is the Dimokrat so lost
to manhood ez not to drink blud, ef the
same underbidden is done by a nigger? The i
starvin for work aint the question its the
color uv the cause uv the starvashen that
makes the diffrens.
Nigger equality may be workt agin 2 ad
vantage. All men, without distinckshun uv
seeks, air fond uv flatrin theirselves that
sumbody's lower down in the skale uv hu
manity than "they is. Ef twan't fer niggers
what wood the Dimocrisy do fer sumboddy
2 look down upon? It is also shoor to enlist
wun stiie uv wiinmen on our side. In times
gone by I've notist gushin virgins uv 45,
full J 6 hands high and tuff ez wire, holdin
aloft banners onto wich wuz inscribed, "Save
us from Nigger Equality." Yoo see it
soothed em 2 hev a cnanse uv adveriisin 1st,
That they wuz frale, helplis critters, and 2d,
That anshent and tuff ez they wuz, sum wun
wuz still gom fer em.
Ef ther aint no niggers Sentral Commit-
tis must furnish em. A half dozen will do
fer a ordinary county, ef theyr hustled along
with energy. Ef they won't steel, the Sen
trel Committis must do it theirselves. Show
j'ear niggers in a township in the morning..
an the same nite rob the CiOthes lines, and
hen roosts. Ever willin 2 sacrifice myself
fer the cause, I volunteer 2 do this latter
dooty in six populus countis.
lhese nees, et rollerd, will, no doubt, keep
us together until our enemies split, when we
will reap the reward uv our constancy and
fidelity. May the Lord hasten the day.

The best time to set a hen is when the hen
is reddy. I kant tell you what the best
breed is, but the Shanghigh is the meanest,
It kosts as much to board one as it does a
stage hoss, and you mite as well undertake
to fat a fanning-mill by running oats thru it.
There haint no profit in keeping a hen tor
his eggs if she lays less than one a day. Hens
are very long lived, if they don't contrakt
the thrut disseze. I kant tell exactly how
to pick out a good hen ; as a general thing
the long eard ones are cou ted the best.

Stanton and Buchanan.
Ex-Gox. Washburne's oration at Portland,
on the Fourth of J uly.contains the following ;
"And that no example might be wanting
to illustrate the degeneracy of the times
and the perfidy of the public meu, who at
such a period could alone occupy the high
places of power, it was found that au ad
ministration of the people's choice, and rep
resenting what appeared to be the average
opinion and sentiment of the country, had
deliberately set itself to the work, in concert
with open traitors, of betraying and destroy
ing the Government it had been appointed
and sworn to preserve. And so well were
its plans laid for the accomplishment of this
flagitious purpose that they could scarcely
have failed, if not to accomplish the end
designed, still to have produced such com
plications, and given the rebellion such ad
ditional advantages, as would have rendered
the preservation of the Union, if possible, a
matter of vastly greater difficulty and cost
than it has been, had it not been for one of
those fatal blunders, which, under the over
ruling hand of Providence, men engaged in
wicked enterprises are so apt to,make. We
tremble when we think that the salvation ot
the nation's prestige and honor, if not of
its life, and ot the cause of free government
everywhere, depended upon the accident, as
it seemed, of the accession, in the winter of
1861, of Edwin M. Stanton to the Cabinet of
President Buchanan. He made himself at
once the ruling spirit and th-3 directing pow
er of that false but weak Administration ;
and by his own personal strength, which
was as the strength ot ten by his iron
will and his sublime devotion, averted
that monstrous crime, that unutterable dis
grace, and that last calamity disunion by
consent 01 the Government itselr.
The Guerilla Chiefs.
That the evil effects of slavery are by no
means restricted to those who are the vie
tims of tyranny, has been proved again and
again by the conduct ot the Southern people
in the recent conflict, and is now shown by
the fact that some of the leading guerilla
captains, who are keeping the border-land
between Louisiana and Idas in terror by
their lawless deeds, were, belore the war.
large plantation-holders in Louisiana, and
the masters of large numbers of slaves.
Having sacrificed or lost everything in the
cause of secession, they are now without
home or profession. FeeHng contempt
lor labor, and despising the laborer, they
have no means of support in the future, and
are utterly destitute of capacity for adapting
themselves to the new order ot things.
Perhaps the life of the guerilla, defying law
and living by pillage, more nearly resembles
their old, vicious, and unrestrained hie on
their plantations, amid a cringing mass of
trembling slaves, whose happiness and lif
were at their disposal, that any position in
the new societary arangements which are
being instituted under the influence of
Northern example and regulations, loo
poor to live, too ignorant to learn, too proud
to work, these gentleman have only one

A Significant Census.
The Cincinnati Timet, with a pardonable
elatioi, contrasts the progress made by the
btates ot Uhio and Kentucky. Ihe anise
of the difference need not be stated. Ohio
was settled in 17S8 ; Kentucky in 1775 ; and
the former does not appear at all in the cen
susof 171)0, when Kentucky had a popula
tion of 73,077. Now, let us trace the fig
ures of each succeeding census :
Oh
nu.
Kentucky.
1800 43,365 1800 220,955
1810 230,700 1810 406,511
1820 581,2'.15 1820 564,185
1830 937,903 1830 687,917
1840 1,516,463 1840 779,828
1850 1,980,329 1850 682,405
1860 2,339,511 1960 1,155,684
From the table above it will be seen that.
though by the census of 1800 Kentucky had
a greater population tran Umo by 17o,000,
yet in 1810, while the former had increased
in the ratio of 84 per cent., the later had
bounded forward by the enormous increase
ratio of 408.97 per cent. ; and in twenty
years she distanced her elder rival, her de
cennial increase between 1 SI 0 and 120 be
ing 161.96 per cent. ; while Kentucky had
fallen off 38.82 per cent. ; which dispropor
tion continued until 1860, when Ohio more
than doubled Kentucky.
Exports from France and England.
France exported, during the first four
months of 1865, says the Moniteur du Soir,
merchandise to the value of 892,5G9,000f.,
being seventy-one millions less than for the
corresponding period of 1 864, but in aug
mentation of the same months in 1863, 1862
and 1861. The products represent the larg
est sums in the statement furnished by the
customs returns are silks, 103 millions;
woolen goods, 1 06, and wines 86. The for
eign goods imported show a total amount of
752,126,000f. for the first four months of
1 865. This is an increase on the correspond
ing periods in the four years last past. The
most important sums stand for cotton, 107
millions.
The value of the exports of British goods,
and produce made to'the Australian colonies
has considerably increased this year, having
been 1,837,679 to March 31, as compared
with 1,484,064 in the corresponding period
of 1864, and 1,507,822 in the correspond
ing period of 1864. The colony which con
tributed most largely to the increase was
New South Wales. The demand has also
increased this year for British goods from
Western Australia, South Australia, Victo
ria, Queensland, and Tasmania ; in the case
of New Zealand, it declined, although ib
was still more considerable than in the first
quarter of 1863.
C0EEESP0NDENCE.
For the Kafuman's Journal.
Bcrnside, Aug. 2, 1865. Mr. Editor:
I have read the Journal of the 26th July,
and find on the first page an article headed
"Andrew Johnson's Policy." I have no
fault to find to it, so far ; but I do say, that
the man that penned it ought to be in the
ranks with Bigler and Wallace. When
Christianity was first preached by the Apos
tles, and their followers, it was pure. ; and
when it got to be popular, wicked men crept
into the churches, and alas for the conse
quences. Just so with our Republican gov
ernment. Many pro-slavery higs joined
in with us ; and many more joined with the
Copperheads and v ent into the Southern
army and fought against us to the last of the
present war. There are some ot those old
por-slavery Whigs, I find, in this county.
They are jealous. They think they ought
to have a place in our national couueils ; But
we have tried them and found them rotteu
at the core. (I refer to Mr. Cowan, Sena
tor from this State. ) This would-be adviser
of Johnson and his worthy cabinet, says a
great deal about "fanatics wanting to cor
rupt" our worthy President. Certainly it
would be a hard case if these rebels are dis
franchised and the loyal citizens allowed to
go to the polls. He seems to rejoice when
the President speaks of taking care of the
"poor whites. " That is certainly right. If
any white man is disfranchised on account
of the color of his skin, or his hair, or his
beard, let him have a fair chance, by all
means ; but the author of this jiece squints
towards Congress. He is atraid of that no
ble set of patriots. He is afraid that the
relicl constitutions and congressmen will be
rejected, and that there will be no compro
mising. He fears that Congress will not al
low the loyal citizens of the South to be
tied, hand and foot, by a set of rebels. He
would wish to have a clause in their Consti
tutions, like we have in Pennsylvania, to let
no colored man have a vote. We have ma
ny thousands of colored citizens, well educat
ed, and who are no disgrace to the pulpit or
the bar, who are disfranchised, while many
thousands of priest-ridden Europeans are
led up to the polls, every general election ;
but this defender of Andrew Johnson's pol
icy does not find any fault to this wrong in
our constitution. Mr. editor of the Jour
nal I would like to know the name and resi
dence of the man who wrote that piece. He
is an enemy to the Republicans, and of our
National Government. Let a poor white
man be heard, as well as a rich one. I sus
pect the man that penned that piece doea
not get his living as the Almighty directed
by the sweat of his brow.
Yours respectfully, a friend to both white
and black, George Atcijeson.
The Blacks and Whites of the South.
The principal argument urged in former
times aeainst emancipating, and now against
giving the suffrage to, the blacks, is their
inability to take care ot themselves. In
evidence of this it has been claimed that
the emancipated uegroes of the South are
now living in dependence upon the gov
ernment, and Copperhead journals are mak
ing a irreat hullabaloo over the amount ot
money thus lavishly expended upon a"pack
of lazy, worthless niggers."
hat are the facts r
In Beaufort, S. C, in the year 1864,
there were about three thousand whites and
very nearly the same number of blacks. Of
the blacks, from three to four hundred were
applicants for aid from the government ; of
the whites from twelve to fourteen hundred
or about four limes as many.
In Mobile according to the last figures to
which we have access, the census returns of
1 860, there were 20,854 whites and 8,404
blacks. During the month of June, 18C5,
6S.416 rations were issued to the white in
habitants, and 3,000 to the blacks. In
other words, three and one-half rations per
month were issued to each white inhabitant.
and less than one ration a month . to each
lack. And these are only sample cases.
Had the reverse been the case it would
not have been surprising in view of the fact
that the whites own all the land, all the cot
ton, all the food, all the houses, all the mon
ey, while the blacks are, as a class, thrown
by emancipation entirely on their own resour-
ces, owning no land, no buildings, no iood,
not even the clothes upon their backs. And
vet this newly-emancipated, seli-supporting
class prove themselves tour times less de
pendent than the whites.
lhese are hard tacts tor the rsorthern
Copperheads, who reverence the Southern
chivalry as much as they hate the negroes,
to swallow, but they are true, nevertheless.

Union, is responsible for the following ;
Ihe old proverb that circumstances
alter cases,' had a spicy illustration the other
day at a Boston hotel, and two parties, one
irom this city, and the other, of Boston,
participated therein. A young man, who
is the least bit feminine in his appearance.
parting his hair iu the middle, &c. went to
Boston, and while in that city was taken
with a severe fit of cholic. Stopping at a
hotel, he put himself to bed and sent for
physician. Ihe doctor came, felt bis
patient's- pulse, examined his stomach, and
inquired solemly if his habits were 'regular;'
to which the young man, somewhat sur
prised, answered in the affirmative. The
doctor then cautiously and politely informed
his patient that his symptoms mannested
some probabilities ot an increase oi tne
census in a short time. The surprise of the
cholic-stricken young man at this singular
announcement, was only equalled by that of
the doctor when he discovered the true sex
of his patient. .

eted Major General in the regular army,
