Our time honored flag, without sadly re•

The fate of a people who sold their birth

And behold now the sun of their liberty
setting?
And the tax we now pay (near two millions

Gives proof that fanatics and tyrants bear

W bile the :1 ar•S pangled Banner in mockery
waves,
Over Isnslholding tyrants and to:•ridden

The brave soldiers who fought amid trials
so sore,
As they thought—lor the Constitution

And hoped they would see when their perils
were o'er,
The States all united in friendly commun

But now they behold from our rnion of
old,
Many States stricken out and by "niggers"
controlled,
While the Star-Spangled Banner deridingly
waves,
O'er a country destroyed by fanatics and
knaves.
0, what would our sires, who for liberty
bled,
Think to sea their homes sunk in such
vile degradation?
The South ruled with bayonets, powder and
steel,
And the North under bonds of most gall

Could thev rest in their graves while their
children nee slaves,
To those shoulder-strapped tyrants and
bondhohling knaves?
While theStar-Spangled Banner doth taunt

O'er these war blighted realms of liberty's

The black Mongrels say they will fore.: the

To accept "manhood suffrage" and "mis

For %idiout it they know that their party

And down goes all hopes of our Mongrel

But it is not the white men of the South,

observe their own purposes. Arkansas
Ima two Senators—one ovum front Wieeon
sin, and the other from Minnesota. South
Carolina has a Governor from the army,
and so in other of the reconstructed States.
They pick up a fellow llysm anywhere and
make a Senator, or a congressman, or a
judge of him, no matter what his State.
We become accustomed to this state of affairs
and laugh at it, and it sounds like a good
joke on the rebels, but let me tell you it
will make trouble in the future ; it is but
the entering wedge of similar operations
here at home, and you yourselves may some
day feel its effects. I say here, that could
this state of things have been foreseen in
1864, when the men of the regiments whose
term was shout to expire were asked to en
list for another period of three years, to
stand by the government awhile longer—
could it then have been known that such
governments would be established, that such
poor, helpless wretches as we had turned
into Washington from Culpepper, along the
Hammes road, and Orange Court-House,
should be allowed to vote, and the white
men be prosetibed, not a veteran would
have taken the oath of re.enlisittient.—
Bounties and furloughs would have been
rejected, and all along the Rapidan would
regiments and divisions of men have
turned their back upon the enemy, and
marched away from the conflict. The long
lines of true men, who raised their hands
on Isish in renewed obligation, would have
mined their films homeward, and abandon
e I in disgust the bloody struggle which was
to have for the fruits of victory such wrong
and such injustice, I speak now what I
know, and I see men around nut now who
know it as well as I do, and who will tell
you the same thing.
General Grant now mends on the Repub .
lican ple,fos in as the exponent of the Re
pu;slieatt party, and es against hint I have
nothing to say. I sewed under him too
long 10 speak with disrespect of' him now.

is the test of merit. lie may have commit
ted errors, but it is too late to go over the
ground now to point theist out. I honor
bins as a soldier, and deem him highly fit for
the position he now occupies. But he has
peen nominated, not because he was the
choice of the !cadets of the Republican
patty, but because he was the best man to
fall back on. The leaders did not want him,
but they thought that you the people want
ed him. and tlitough him they would gain
your vat-.. 5. They are afraid of him, and
he is stuck up as a mere puppet and thr the
purpose or blinding the issue. I have no
objection to Giant, but I believe if he is ,
elec.ed, Washhurne would in fact be Presi-
dent, with Colfax as an alternate—Grant
would be President by brevet, with the
honor and emolument, and should he dare
thwart their plans, at once meet Johnson's
fuse, and be sttai3htway impeached and
thrown overboard, Ile has been used as
the tool of men who have ruined you—
ruined, I say, or why, with an incense of
live hundred millions yearly, during three
years of peace, should you he burdened
wish a debt increased two hundred and thir
ty millions more? And here lays the secret
of their desperate and unscrupulous effort
to carry the election—they have squandered
too much money fur which they cannot ac
count—they cannot afford to go out of pow
er and give an account of their stewardship.
The private records of the War Office bare
been destroyed. Stanton, who is a vaga
bond, a villain, and a murderer—who is re
sponsible for the horrors, the sufferings and
the deaths of Andersonville—dared not
leave behind for investigation the black
record of Isis misdeeds. His life would
have been in danger should they ever come
to light.
But the Republicans say that if Grant is
not elected, there will be another war and
another rebellion. But now who is there
to rebel, who is there to make and carry on
a war? Is it the Democrats here North?
Why should they rebel? They will have
elected their man, and they will be satisfied
and will want no war. Is it the men
at the South who rebelled before who
will do it? I think not. They will be the
last men ever to rebel against this or any
other government. They have bad enough
of' it, and there is not a man there who will
shoulder a musket in any such quarrel.
I saw the feeling and disposition of the
southern army at Appomattox Court House
during the four hours of truce, and while
each army lay in sight of each other, with
pickets thrown out, awaiting the result of
the negotiations. The officers and men of
both armies mingled with each other and
interchanged sentiments and feelings. I
rode through the rebel lines and among
them. They were whipped and badly
whipped. They acknowledged it, They
were worse than whipped ; they were stare
cd, and starvation soon subdues an enemy.
I saw the feeling of submission that was
exhibitee there—the same feeling that has
prompted obedience since—that has kept
down gum Alla bands, and mimed the order
there has been there since. We divided
our rations with them ; my own commissary
fed them, and the very men who but an
hour before had been training artillery for
a desperate struggle shared all they had
with their oonqueted enemy; and did it too
with a manliness and good feeling that
would have made the men blush with shame
who since then, have tried to !vaginae the
question there settled, and who always found
it cheaper to talk than fight, and not half
so dangerous. The man who talks about a
revolution with pas Is a fool or a knave—
there can be no rebellion there while the

memory of the hut ono remains. Who,
then, is there to rebel, if neither the Demo
orate nor the South ? The South rebelled
because they were defeated, and could not
succeed in their plane. There are none to
inaugurate rebellion and war except those
same "truly loyal" men who now talk about
war. Nobody but this same valiant Re
publican party to raise a rebellion to satisfy
their thirst for revenge at their disappoint
ment and loam of power, and to cover up the
traces of their misdeeds. It will be with
them alone to introduce a strife which will
be fiercer and bloodier than the last.
The election of Seymour and Blair will be
of immense benefit to the country. They
will come to the administration of public af
fairs endorsed by the people—their election
will check usurpation, prodigality and waste.
Their election will afford a chance for the
investigation of what has become of all this
money, of all these thousands of millions of
dollars. The Democrats do not fear it, for
the last eight years, and their skirts are
clean. But somebody has been stealing, and
stealing a good deal, and the people want to
know who it was, and the search that will
be made hereafter in that direction will be
sharp and dose."
The Condom of Darnlna the
Dead In Japan.
A letter from Japan says : The burning
of the dead is largely Factioed among the
Jnpaneme ; end of the alkyls() different
forms of worship piecticed here—all equally
false—but two demand burial in preference
to ineremation. My acquaintance with their
mode of burying the dead is limited to two
funerals, which casually came before my
notice. On one occasion I was returning
from a walk, and my path led beside one of
the little mummies near Kobi, in which a
small pariy was gathered. It was the hour
of sunset. a fitting time for an event of
tender morrow. The mourners were dressed
entirely , in white, which contrasted with the
gaudy robes of a small group of priests.—
The corpse, in its enclosure, lay upon a bier,
and en offering of green titre and of towers
ass made as though to the manes of the
dead. Then cane the beating of bells and
the clang of cymbals. The receptacle which
contained the corpse was shaped like a half
band, and in this the dead was placed in a
sitting posture, and all vacant places were
filled with combustibles,
The I. iewls now all gathered round it and
commenced a low, plaintive chant, so monot
onous that it seemed merely the repetition
of a name, which I suppose to have been
that of one of their dietics. They then
separated, and only a few remained to at
tend to the final service. The receptacle or
ergot was placed over a stone trough and
covved with a heap of fuel. All gathered
in a close eitele, and the nearest of kin (in
this instance a wife) applied the torch, and
as the flames ascended the monotonous chant
and the sound of cymbals were renewed in
mournful colleen. Excessive A, ier was de
cently restrained, except iu the ease of a
little boy about ten years OA, who wept
ps~innnly, and was taken aside to be Com
forted. The group broke, and one after the
other departed, leaving the wife above re
ferred to atone, the image of sorrow, and
apparently unable to tear herself from the
ashes of her husband.
A Distant Relatlou.
Au incident occurred some time ago at
Cincinnati, on Ward the shunter Buckeye,
just as aho wad about to depart for New Or
leans.
A tall countryman, carrying a pair or sad
dle-bags on his arm and covered with pers
piration, and who looked as though be
couldn't tell his head from a bunch of shin
gles, iu-led into the cabin, calling at the
top of his voice :
`Naar isColonel 'Mclntosh? Is Colonel
Mclntosh on the boat?"
No one answered.
"Well, then, whir is the c.ap'un ? I must
see Colonel Mclntosh."
On being informed that the captain was
on the hurricane deck, our inquiring friend
passed through the crowd in that direction.
"Haul in the planks and shove her off I"
sounded in his ears just as he reached the
deck.
"Stop her, eap'un—atop her I lam not
going to Now Orleans,"
"Run out the plank I Ashore with you,
then, quick 1" shouted Captain liartahorn.
"I say, cap'un, I want to see Colonel Mc-
Intosh. I must see him."
"I don't know hint, sir," quickly answered
the old sea dog. "We can't wait—go
ashore. Haul in the plank, I say,"
"Oh, cap'un, I must see the kernel—he's
a distant relation of mine, and I never saw
him in my life."
Now Captain Hartshorn is a warmheart
ed man, as every one knows. The last ap
peal touched his feelings, and he kindly in
quired
"How:near of kin are you to the gentle
man you are seeking?"
"Why, cap'un, ho's the father of my first
child l" •
"Cut off that hawser and let, her go,"
were the last words heard. And the boat
and the man that was in search of his rela
tive wended their way to New Orleans.
A NEGRO tax oolisotor down South, called

The TOME Witness.
A little girl, nine years of age, was a wit
ness against a prisoner, who was on Biel for
a orime committed in her father's house.
"Now, Emily," said the counsel for the
prisoner, upon her being put in the witness
box, "I desire to know If you understand
the nature of an oath."
"I don't know what you mean," was the
simple answer.
"Mere, your Honor," said the counsel,
addressing the court, "is there anything
Amber necessary to show the force of my
objection? This witness should be rejected.
You see she does not know the nature of an
oath."
*let us see," raid the Judge. "Come
here, my little girl."
Assured by the kind tone and manner of
the Judge, the child stepped toward him and
looked up confidingly in his face, with a
calm, clear eye, and in a manner so artless
and frank, that it went straight to the heart.
"Did you ever take au oath?" inquired
the Judge. The little girl stepped back
with a look of horror, and the blood man
tled in a blush all over her face and neck as
she answered--
"No, sir."
She thought he meant to inquire if she
bad ever blasphemed.
"I do not mean that," said he, when ho
saw his mistake. "I mean, were you ever
a witness before?"
"No, sir ; I was never in a court before,"
bhe answered.
Be handed her the Bible—open.
"Do you know that book?"
She looked at it and answered, "yes, sir;
it's the Bible."
"Do you over read the Bible?" asked the
Judge.
"Yes, sir; every evening."
"Can you tell me what the Bible is?" in
ed he.
"It is the word of the great God!" she
answered.
"Well, place your hand upon this Bible,
and listen to what I say ;" and be repeated
slowly and solemnly the oath usually given
to witnesses,
"Now," said he, "you have sworn as a
witness. Will you tell mo what will befall
you if you do not tell the truth ?"
"I shall be shut up in prison," answered
she.
"Is there anything else?" asked the
"Yes, sir ; I shall never go to heaven,"
she replied.
"Ilow do you know this?" asked the
Judge again.
The child took the Bible, and turning
tepidly to the chapter containing the coat
mandinents, pointed to this one—" Thou
shalt not bear fal.e witness against thy
nciBhbor." "I learned that before I could
read."
"Has any one talked with you about your
being witness in court hero against this
niiu ?"
"Yea, sir," she replied. "My mother
head they wanted me to be a witness, and
last night she called me to her room, and
asked me to tell her the ten commandments;
and then we kneeled down together and she
!ward that I might understand how wicked
it was to bear false witness against my
neUtbor, and that Clod would help me, a
little child, to tell the truth as it was before
Him. And when I came up here with fath
er, she kissed me and told me to remember
the ninth commandment, and that God
would hear every word that I slid."
"Do you believe this?" asked the Judge,
while a tear glistened in his eye, and his lip
quivered with emotion.
"Yes, sir," said the child, with a voice
that showed her conviction of its truth was
perfect.
"God bless you, my child," said be;
"you have a good mother. This witness is
competent," he continued. " Were lon
trial for my life, and innocent of the charge
against me, I would pray God for such a
witness as this. Let her be examined."
She told her story with the simplicity of
a child, as she was; but there was a direct
ness about it that carried conviction of its
truth to every heart. She was rigidly cross
examined. The counsel asked her many
troublesome and awkward questions, but she
varied from her first statement in nothing.
The truth so spoken by that little child
was sublime. Falsehood and perjury had
prcceedcd her testimony, but before her tes
timony falsehood was scattered like chaff.
The little child,' for whom a mother had
prayed for strength to be given her to speak
the truth as it was before Clod, broke the
cunning devices and matured villainy to
pieces.
I need not say that the man was found
guilty, and that be was sent to prison for
nearly two years. I hope he was a better
man after he came out.
A PENNSYLVANIAN KILLED.— Cincin
nal4 Sept. B.—Yesterday afternoon about 5
o'clock, a man named Thomas Lindley, a
stranger in the city, came to his death from
the effect of a pistol shot through the tem
ple. It is thought to be the work of his
own hand, and yet as the affair occurred in
a disreputable house, and as indications of
foul play are not wanted, there is a suspi
eion that other hands may have fired the
pistol that did the mischief. Mr. Lindley
had papers on his person that showed that
during the war he had been a member of
the First Pennsylvania Cavalry. Ho ap
pears to have been about twenty-five years

The following beautiful poem we copy
from the Memphis Dulictin. It is rarely
we find such eontirbutions to the columns
of a newspaper. It is sweetly, beautifully
said :
Raise my pillow, husband, dearest,
Faint and fainter comes my breath ;
And them shadows stealing slowly
Must, I know, be those of death.
Sit down, close beside me, darling,
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustain ed me,
To the borders of this land.
For your God and mho—our Father,
Thence shall ever lead me on ;
Where upon a throne eternal,
Sits his loved and only son ;
I've had visions and been dreaming
ger the past of joy and pain
Year by year I've wandered backward,
Till I was a child again.
Dreaming of girlhood, and the moment
When I stood your wife and bride,
How my heart thrilled with love's ttiumpb,
In that hour of woman's pride.
Dreaming of thee and all the earth chords
Firmly twined about my heart
-011 l the bitter, burning anguish,
When I first knew we must part.
It has passed—and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend ;
He that's more than friend or brother,
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow o'er the portals,
Leading to my heavenly home—
Christ has romised life immortal,
And 'be lle that bids me come.
When life's trials wait around thee,
And its chilling billows swell,
Thou'lt thank Heaven that 1 m spared them,
Thou'lt then feel that "all is well."
Bring our boys unto my bedside ;
My last blessing let them keep—
But they're sleeping—do not wake them ;
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them ofien of their mother;
Kiss them for me when they wake ;
Lead them gently in life's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling,
This, the last nilht of my life ;
For tomorrow 1 shall never
Answer when you call me "wife."
Fare thee well, my noble husband,
Faint not 'neath the chast' ning
Throw your strong arms 'round our children,
Keep them close to thee—and God.

Voters of the Thirteenth Congressional
District, you have placed in nomination for
the office of Representative in Congress, a
gentleman who is truly a Representative
man. Having worked his way up along the
arduous avenue of life unaided ; gaining
that practical education of men and businss
that comes only by the most stubborn attri
tion, and subtile observation—he stands be
fore the people to-day—the peer of any
collegian, the second to no man in versatility
of talent and rare forensic ability, in North
ern Pennsylvania.
In Victor E. Piollet, you have a man
capable of defending your interests before
any tribunal. With the moral courage, and
positive force to stand up and do battle for
the rights of the tax-ridden masses, by
speech and protest in language unequivocal,
ith-ficaul of silently voting or mysteriously
cliluppeni ;nu, when que4tiotut of ,clouldfill
popularity aee to be acted upon !
Fartneis, you have in hint a defender of
your calling ! one who has followed the
plow "foam early morn till dewy eve," and
eaten !mail in the sweat of his face, through
the long, hot days of summer—feeling that
rich consciousness of duly well performed,
that only ho can feel, who has "caused two
blades of grass to grow where only one had
grown before."
Business men of all kinds, we call upon
you to look to the men who are to shape
the destiny of your future. See t 9 it that
they are men who are interested in advanc
ing the poluctive intlustiy of your country.
Discountenance the men who would array
labor against capital by levyi'tg unequal tax
ation, or by the exemption of any one class
of standord values, from the payment of
their just proportion of the national indebt
edness, equitably resting upon all interests
alike.
Begin a system of retrenchment and re•
form.
Curtail the vast expenditures, each year
growing greater—labelled miscellaneous and
inctiltstni. Set your faces against corrup
tion, and give your support to a party of
equal taxes and just laws, whose advocate
and representative stands boldly forth, in
the person of the man who heads this ar
tiele.—/Irculford Argus.
RADICAL patriotism pays well. The pres
ent loyal Congress will have bad not less
than seven sessions, when it shall adjourn,
to the joy of the people, on the fourth of
March, 1860. Seven sessions secure the
mileage of every loyal member no less than
seven times; and the matter of mileage
alone costs the people for this Congress not
less than a million of dollars. For seven
consecui ive visits to Washington the Radi
cal member of Congress puts his hand into
the treasury of his beloved country seven
times, with unctuous thanks to Heaven that
he is no copperhead. The salary of a mem
ber of the Fortieth Congress will not be less
than ten thousand dollars a year, inclusive
of mileage for those even who are ()caper.
tively near the capital. For the Butlers and
Washburn, the Ryes and Pomoroys, who
dwell at a distance, it will bo more than
double ten thousand Why then should
not these patriots make frequent adjourn
ments and draw much mileage? It is the
only way they can be compensated the their
great service in siring the oilmity.
