The Harrisburg Telegraph, in a long article, last week, on the Riot Dam age bill, labored hard to cause it to ppear that because the State author ity failed to 6ave the property at Pittsburg frum the fury of the riot fers, therefore the State is liable for the damage.1. It says that because the State f iled to save the property from destruction, u it is no wonder that people of solid judgment, of fair discriniiruitiwti and impartial justice unhesitatingly declare that the State is responsible for the results, respon sible for the destruction of property, for the pecuniary loss thns enfaiiled, r.nd the collateral inj.iry inflicted or the people."

Hannah Forward Clark, of E.-st Granby, is now in her ninety-fifth year, and yet tells with grim humor a quaint tale of the olden time when it was the custom to "line hymns in meeting." The deacon ad justed his spectacles, raised his psalm book and incidentally said, "I'm al mo:--t blind," and the congregation took up the irords and s;mg them as s. live. The dii&con, gre:;tly annoyed, explained, " I can scarcely see at all," but this also was sung in solemn mea sure. In holy indignation the dea con raised both hands and exclaimed, ''Yjn're all bewitched !" au 1 this, too, was rendered into praise ; whereupon the deiCon vociferated loudly, " The devil's in ertry one of you !" Such a chango in the sen linen t as well as the metre, brought the Gingers to a standstill, and after some confusion, they sang the jrujer p-alm. 2 Tbe following is the leader of the Okolona (Miss.) South, for tbe last week of March: O, how fit bow parsing &t it was that the 1 la ii -ul p:irty should breathe a final Lisa at our Confederate Presi dent as its dying carcass was borne from tbe Senate chamber of the Stit8 Union. Hating all that is good, and pure, and grand, and true, it wus peculiar ly proper that it should hate Jeffer son Davis with a deathless hate. Its history was one long lie and crime. It flung our country into war ; It murdered three hundred thou sand gallant Southrons, like the com mon cut-throat that it was ; It g&ve our homes to the torch, like the common incendiary that it was ; It plundered our pockets and cof fers, like the coffers, like the common thief that it was ; It sent its jail-birds to lord over us, and imprisoned the purest patriots of the North, like the common tyrant that it was ; It corrupted a whole generation, like the common pimp that it was ; Finally, with Lloody hands and pockets bulged out with stolen mop eys, it fell lfore the wrath of an in dignant and outraged jeoplehoo6L But its mah'gnnnt spirit was strong in death, and while the rattle was 60iuiding in its slimy throat it man aged to utter a farewell bins at our , illustrious chieftain. Let this fact be forgetless. It ci ntributes one more shining leaf to the splendid laurel-crown of glorv that circles the brow of our grand old Confederate President. It intensifies the immortal love and honor for our second. Washington. We have captured the Capitol, and the name of Jefferson Davis will here after be spoken with reverence in its historic halls, while his picture will yet grace, and his memory will yet glorify the place forever. Following the above are a number of brief items under the general head "Powder and Shot," some of which will be found very interesting. They are as follows : The Yankees are being driven to the last ditch. One more campaign and the world will hail the Confed eracy as the conqueror. n. It may become the imperative duty of President Davis to accept the United Stites senatership, whether ho wants it or not These Yankees must be taught a lesson. Til. Down with the reconstruction laws!

"It is probably eeuerally remember ed that some years ago in 1873 Congress passed a law providing for tbe erection of durable headstones over the glares of soldiers of tbe regular and volunteer forces of the L'uited states wnose remains are interred in the .National Military Cemeteries. This law has been carried out, and the graves of the Nation's dead in these cemeteries are now permanentU marked. At lbs instance of tbe War Department, Congress has recently authorized tbe erection of similar head stones over the graves of tbe Union soldiers who are burned in private and village cemeteries. This will be done as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. In tbe meantime the Quartermaster General, at Washington, wiil at ouce proceed to collect tbe nec essary information as to where these headstones are required. All persons having any knowledge of tbe burial places of soldiers in pri vate cemeteries whese graves are not marked, are requested to communicate tbe fact to the Quartermaster General and give regiment, company, and date of death of deceased, if known. Simi lar information is desired from parties in charge of such cemeteries. Of course it is not ioten led to fur nish headstones for graves over which monuments bave already been erected by relatives or friends of the deceas ed."
