Far above the 'world's gay revel, Just beneath lho vaulted heaven, Where its first pure breath la given, There they rest. In the spring the wild bee murmurs. O'er the sod above them pressed; And the humming-bird Is darting, Pausing, humming, sipping, starling, Sipping nectar front the clover And the roses bending over, they rest.

" Yes, Gracie, when the uniform cov ers a true heart, but as brave a one way 1)(0, under a citizen's coat. You know it is m t Ellis Benediet's 'link that he is not a soldier. Ile was 'the only son of his mother, and she a widow,' but now she has at last gone to her rest, I think Ellis will not remain long away from the post he has so often wished to fill. Gracie Ilueston absently turned the leaves of the book she had been reading for a few moments, and then drawing her friend's head down into her lap, she said ; " Lou, Fniust ten you all about it. I always liked 'Ellis, from the time we went to District School together and learned our letters from the same spel ling book, and I know he loves me. He is a good and noble boy,—but---Lieut. Morgan has asked me to be his wife. I told hint I would consider the matter, and —on the whole—l think I'll take him l" Lou ' s eyes filled with tears as she drew her friend lovingly to her, and said : " God bless you, Gracie, whoever you may choose, ano make your life-path as pleasant a one as you deserve;" and there upon the two commenced a confidential girliSh chat into which we will not in trude. But a little introduction is needed to bring the characters of this little sketch before the eyes of the reader. Gracie llueston was a gay, warm-hearted girl, full of generous impulses, with a dash of romance in her disposition, and patriotic almost to a fault, if such a thing were possible. Lou Osborne needs no other mention than simply that she was Gra cie's dearest friend. Lieut. Morgan was a member of the "Grand Army," who had seen a campaign or two—received a slight wound in one of them ; just suf ficient to throw a halo of heroism around him quite irresistible to one of Gracie's enthusiastic temperament.. As for the rest, he was gay, faseinatim , ,--but su premely selfish, which little fault had not become apparent to Gracie, whose fancy was captivated by Morgan, but certainly not her heart, which, after all, was more nearly in Ellis Benedict 's keeping than in the Lieutenant's, but Gracie never mis trusted :hat fact.. As for the former, it is Only necessary to say that he was one of those noble, self sacrificing souls of whom one mews so few in this cold world, and fully worthy or any true woman's love. That evening, in Gracie's home, a`lit tle group was gathered, composed of all the individuals connected with our story. Of the four,- Lou was thoughtfu),—Gra• cie full of her usual gay spirits, with a brighter light in her eyes, if possible, than generally shone there, and a deeper rose tint on her cheeks, Ellis was very grave and sad and the Lieut. appeared at per fect peace with himself and the rest of mankind. "'Three hundred thousand more treops called fori" said Lou, taking, up a daily paper that lay near her, avid lancing over its columns in a pause that occurred in the conversation; "'suppose we shall lose you soon, Morgan. Your patriotism will never resist a call like that, of course ?" " Yee," he replied carelessly, "I shall go as soon as I can got a commission." " And not before ?" said Gracie, turn ing quickly toward him, " Not 1." " And why not, pray ?" questioned she, with a rising flush on her cheeks. '0 Why?"said ho, with a little shrug of shoulders ,_"that's not a hard ques tiqn to answer When' one has his choice pf _positions, that of an 'officer is vastly inore agreeable thad that of high priVate Ito say--nothing of the,low asscciatioqs connected with the latter position." "And you ?" said, slip, turning to 4111 i, On. eat Tt4 compressectliTs, listenirm • FIK: ,( 1 1. to Tili.% jt‘ '. etor to the conversation, "when do you think of volunteering for glory ?" " I join my regiment at D—to mor row," was his simple reply. " You 1" exclaimed Gracie, while her heart gave a great bound that soot the blood from her face, and her voice tretn bled slightly as she asked, "and what rank have we to assign to you ?" " High private," he answered, some what bitterly. " My country needs the help of my arm in her hour of trouble more than I any honor she can bestow upon me, and now that the last tie that bound me to my home is broken, I shall go to her aid, as I should have gone long ago, had not a higher duty de tained me at home," and liaAtily rising, Ile said the good-byes he had come to speak, and, notwithstading the efforts made to detain him, took his departure. Lou soon rfter left, the room, and what took place between Gracie and the Lieu tenant that military individual never told, but lie followed in the footsteps of Ellis before an hour had passed, his general appearance being anything but that of an accepted lover,—looking, in fact, con siderably astonished, and not a little crest-fallen. Gracie entered Lou's room shortly af ter, and throwing herself down by her fr . lend:,s.side, "There's patriotism for you. How blind I was to imagine him superior to 'Ellis Benedict," and Lou, for answer, only kissed her lovingly, and whispered in her ear,." Fin so glad, Gracie l" The great Central Railroad depot in the city from which.the —th Regiment took its departure from the State, was filled to overflowing with a busy crowd on a certain autumn evening in that year of 1363 Officers, sashed and plumed,' promenaded up and down- the-length - of - ' the building, with their swords clanging martially at their heels am rig the crowds of blue uniformed privates who swarmed everywhere. Wives clung to their hus bands' arms for the last time,—mothers, with-tearful eyes, bade fare del. to their sons—and all those sad scenes were en acted Which have been repeated and re repeated so many times in these terrible years of war which have conic upon iv. Amid the mingled tones of many voices, and the heavy tramp of feet, that wild chorus of " Glory—Hallelujah rang out from a hundred throats, and floated up to the arched roof in strange wild har mony. It was a time and scene to thrill the dullest heart. Apart from the restless, surging crowd, with his military cap drawn down over sad 'eyes, and brow contracted by some deep and sorrow.ul emotion, stood a sol dier closely muffled in his blue overcoat. --It was -our-1M friendv Ell is-Benedict-TIM& and as he razed on the scones around him, wild, despairing thoughts rushed through his heart. fle was alone—all alone—no eyes grew dim at meeting his farewell glance—there was no hand to hold his own in a long, lingering clasp, which might be the last—in all this broad earth no one cared for his going, and no heart would leap for joy to greet him should he ever return, and a gleam of fierce joy shone in his eyes as he thought how soon he might be at rest in some nameless gravc, on some bloody bat tle-field to which he was ha s tening. lie had visited his mother's grave for the last time—it was the only link which bound him to his borne—how mad he had once been to dream of another—and as a vision of that fair young face he had so loved to gaze upon rose up before his mind's eye, his lips grew white, and hot tears, none the less bitter that his man hood would forbid them to full, filled his eyes. Just then a light touch emirs Inn startled and he turned to meet he laughing face and blue eyes of—Gracie fluest.m ! Everything grew dim before the evidence of his senses. But it was her own gay voice that exclaimed. . "That's a desperate look fur a soldier boy just off to the. wars! Was it put on fur the occasion ? Why are you not circu lating around, saying good bye to your friends, instead of hiding yourself in this dark corner?" " Friends !" repeated he, bitterly, "who cares for my going or coming?" "Who ? Very many—Gracie Hueston, for one." "You would better go and console Lieut. Morgan. He will appreciate your parting words—l am ap•tonished at your leaving him at such a time." Lieutenant Morgan has a Captain's commission," returned t Iracie 'carelessly, "which is doubtless sufficient for any griefs he may suffer—but you are rude to me, Ellis," she continued, while her face grew sad and tears crept into her eyes, "I did not think to hear such . words from "Forgive me, Gracie.," he exclaimed, seizing her hand and drawing it within his arm—"l am 'mad—wild—and I do not know what I say Do you not know lOW I lose you, Gripie, and that it is kill ing me?" '‘_flow should know ?" said she, de murely, with, her ..eyes on the ground. "You never-told me !" 'You seemed to scorn me, laraoie, and I could not. But now you do know, , what you say to me ? Answer ine quickly, if you have any pity for 1110." Gracie said never a word, but raised her eyes to his for a second, then drop ped them quickly as she met his intent, eager gaze fixed upon her face.

M. E. C. —Rural New Yorker. The Chimney Corner ' The old chimney corner! It is en deared to the heart from the earliest rec ollections. What dreams have been ' there ! What stories, told ! What bright hours passed 1 It wag a place to think in, a place to weep in, to laugh in and much the coziest place iit the house to rest in. It was there where dear old grand mamma used to sit at her knitting, I warming her poor rheumatic back against ,the-warni-wall-; =where- -grandpa---used—tu fall asleep over his newspaper; where mamma used to place her spinning wheel and papa used to sit Hero too, and read in the great arm chair. I t was there you used to read fairy tales in your childhood, folded all sowing, and warm, and cosy, in its great warm lap while the wind of a Winter's night was whistling without. Your favorite plumb cake was never so sweet as when' eaten there, and the stories you read by the ! -- sitting roein fire Side were never half so fascinating as those read in the chimney corner. If. you were sad you wept_ there to cry. If you were merry, you, with your broth ers and sisters, nestled there to have a right merry time. 'Even puss and the housedog loved the old chinthey.9orner ! Look blietPto the old house, where every room, every nook is so full of pleas ant recollections—the family sitting room, where were so many happy meeting your own chamber, with its little window, " where the sun came peeping in at morn " Mother's room, still sacred with her presence. But, after all, brightest memories cluster about that chimney cor ner You long to bu folded io faithful, old bosom again i as you wet); in child hood, and have a good cry over all those past happy times It is desolate now. The bright faces diusierEd — tifere yore will never come back again. Black and digny are the loved walls, and the smoke from the kitchen fire never makes them warm any more. But still memory sets up some of the holiest and most beautiful statues of her carving in the old chimney corner. A MoTuElt'S GRAVE.—Earth has some sacred spots where we feel like loosening the shoes from our feet, and treading with holy reverence ; where common words of pleasure are unfitting ; places where - friendship's hands have lingered in each other, where vows-have been plighted, prayers offered and tears of parting shed. Oh, how the thoughts ho ver around such places, and travel back through immeasurable space to visit them. But of all the spots on the green earth, none is so sacred as that where rests, waiting the resurrection, those wo once loved and cherished. Hence, in all ages, the better portion of mankind have chos en the loved spots they have loved to wander at eventide and weep alone.— But among charnel houses of the dead if there is one spot more sacred than the rest, it is a mother's grave. There sleeps the mother of our Infancy—She whose heart was a stranger to every other feel ing but love, and who could always find excuses for us when we could find none for ourselves. There she sleeps and we love the very•earth for her sake. ENGIASII AND AMERICAN SCIIOOL GIRLS —Anthony Trollope, in his new book on America, thus speaks of our school girls; 1 do nut know of any contrast that would be more surprising to an English man up to the• moment ignorant of the mutter than that which ho would find by visiting, first of all, a free school in Pennsylvania. The Female pupil at a free school in London, as a rule, is either a ragged pauper or a charity girl; if not, degraded, at least stigmatized by the badges and dress of charity. . We En glishmen know well the typo of each, and have a fairly correct idea of the amount of education which is itnpirted to them.

From the Pittsburg Gazette. Woodward and Curtin, and °urea- yes Our ' , remarks about the Woodward speech in apology for the rebellion, seems to have touched the Pittysburg Post upon the raw. Its answer is, that:the speech was made on the 18th of December, and four months before the rebellion broke out ; and this it thinks is a triumphant one. It. cannot, however, escape in that way. South Carolina was already out, and the other Cotton States threatening to follow her example, and just at this particular juncture, when a little encour agement only was required, and STE PHENS, of Georgia, was insisting at home that there was nothing to complain of, .Judge Woodward made his speech to show 'how much they had been injured, and what abundant reason they all had for cutting loose from the Union. What dif ference did it make whether Sumter had then been fired upon or not ? Apologies for crime are not unapt to pave the way for its commission, and the guilt is only the• great er,.when the apology precedes the act which it has encouraged. Judge WOODWARD'S Speech was, no doubt, used by way of answer to STEPHENS, for the purpose of showing the States still hold itig back, that they were deeply injured, and ought to secede with impunity. "lire PittslsiierrPOSTffcti sel - tlreegrrdiT date, however, by informing us that the meeting was called by the conservative citizens, and presided over by a Republi can ;Major, and that the speech was made at the urgent solicitation of "leading cit izens," and "applauded by all who wish ed to avoid the bloody civil war that is now upon, us." W }tether it was so called and organized or not, can make no difference, if the peec h_ itsel I,,was_ a (Vestrnetive. o should like to know, however, the name of the "leading citizen," who could have . had so little sense or loyalty, as to ask a man of his opinions to speak at all on such an occasion—or the names of the men who wishg...toevoid a civil war, that applauded au effusion traitorous in it self, and so well calculate to bring it on. We think we can say, from what we know from people who were there, that there was no truly loyal man within the hear ' ing of that speech, who was not sickened and disgusted by it. But the way to settle this matter is to hive us the speech, and allow it be judged by itself. We have tried in vain to get our hands on it. We. doubt, however, whether the Post will venture to repub lish just now, but we shall take its re fusal as a confession that it was all we have said of it. Inasmuch, however, as the Post refers to some of our remarks in relatien to.the public acts of Governor CURTIN, we take occasion to say, that while the matters mainly objected by us are precisely those which are denied by such of its coadju tors as the Greensburg Repub/ica`it, and Mich it will not venture to publish or af fit in itself, even with all the temptations which a desire for party success may of ter to it, there is no amount of objection which can be imagined against Governor CuttrlN, that could render him half so obnoxious or dangerous, at a time Ike this, as a man like GEORGE W. Wool,- Nil,kan. if it were a question of personal honesty only, the conduct of the latter in the Allegheny Bond "Cases, wherein he presided as a judge, while ho was per sonally interested in securities 'of the same kind, would have stamped him with in infamy equal to that of Jeffries him self'. But with his record upon the ques tion of the war and the known opinions of' convention which nominated him, we can imagine no greater calamity to the - Union, and to ourselves as a State, than the elec Lion of such a man as Governor, in a crisis so full of danger-as the present. If our objections to the renomination of Gov ernor CuitTiti had been tenfold greater, we would rather have taken him, with all his faults, that undisguised apologist of the rebellion, whose success would not only imperil the Republic, but perhaps involve us in a bloody war at home, like that inaugurated by Governor SEYMOUR in New York, and so happily checked at the outset by the valor of a loyal police, and the armed intervention of the Gov ernment troops. A merely local Admin istration the most unsatisfactory in its economic conduct and policy, if uncon ditionally pledged to contribute its aid to the active and earnest prosecution of the war, wit,out pause or respite, or negotia tion, so long as there was a rebel in arms within our territory—would be a small evil in the comparison, with one prepared, like BRADBURY the' Copperhead candi date in Maine, to withdraw our troops from the field, so soon as the Governor of New York shall be prepared to set the example.- The great point just now is fidelity - to the National Government, and to the cause of the Union. It is in that direction only that our peace and liber ties can fib endangeredat present. Other errors may be tolerated, or corrected and punished, if, necessary; but -this is ono that may 'convulse us with anarchy 'at home, and place us under the feet of that scoundrel despotism, which has flooded the land with blood, and week's to found_ a pew empire on - the rains of private and popular liberty. We would about as soon see Benedict Arnold' himself—if he could --reappear on earth—elected to- the GeV 'tiimorship of this State, us the Judge who has publicly declared, in. a premeditated and carefully studied harangue, that the South is all right, and the North all wrong; and it; is' precisely because we would dread - this result, as, the worst and greatest of hunittn- ealantities;• . ,that we were anxious tcilavoid.all ,risks, and . de-, siren's to. Secure.a candidate who was ea..' tirely free froth local i involiretnent,OiStatti.: objections Of, any sort whatever,...sY have failed -in achieving our objeet,' it leaves us with no choice, except as be tween a Copperhead, with the cunning, and malice, and abilities for mischief, of the original serpent—whose election would be taken all over the world, as a declaration of want of confidence in the government, and would so far weaken its hand4—and a man whose position in sures at least his loyalty to the Union, and whose election, if unpopular in him self, would be only the higher testimony to the depth and intensity of that Union feeling, which is the guaranty of the na tion, and has already sent more than 200, 000 of our own brave youths into the field, at the exp_nse of disfranchisement by such patriots as WoonwAtto and Low- RIE. Whatever may be our objections to Gov. CURTIN, WO shall not allow them to prevent us from bruising the head of the snake, when we find him coiled up in our road, sweltering with deadly venom, and ready to strike at the heel of the first heedless traveller, who comes within his reach. We shall not spare him, be cause we could not be suited with a club of our own choice. We can forget the candidates—the mere personalities of the conflict—in the opinions which they re spectfully represent. And now, but a few words more on this topic, since we have drifted into it. Wlipm.we..protested-against—the..notui-.- nation of GOV. CURTIN, it was only a question between loyal men—between himself, and any othor sincere Union man—whether Republican or War Demo crat. Overruled, as we were, then, the controversy has assumed another aspect. It is a question now only between a loyal man, and a Copperhead. Between two such men, we can find DO Common term of comparison. They are quan tities incommensurable.• It' the former was -- evc - rr tlid - Vvo - rSt; object ion able, because, for that reason, the weakest man in our ranks—although we •might deplore" the choice, and regret the risk which it involved—we would regard him as along way preferable to the foremost of the disloyalists—as we would take the lowest of the angels, who adhered to his fidelity, in preference to the lost spirit, who led in the revolt, and won for him self the applause of pandemonium, and the choice, among his fallen companions, of sovereign in hell. We have done all we could, in the conscientious discharge of our duty, to strengthen the hands of the loyal men of the State, in this great hour of their trial. having said nothing untruly, so far as we know, and believe, we have nothing to unsay, or take back, until we are shown to liave been wrong. But even that would be unnecessary.— The Westmoreland Republican, the ablest, by far, of all the Democratic papers in th-e-State, -- has - pulatiely -- declared . that the must serious of our objections to the can didate—all, indeed, but the apprehen sion of possible weakness, arising out of those objections—are without founda tion—while the Post itself' condemned theme front the beginning, and will not venture to repeat them now, for reasons which it can perhaps _explain. We shall continue when over-ruled—as we should have done under mach greater discour agements—to aim at the same results. We had made up our minds long since, and have acted on that principle through out, that if misfortune should overtake the country, it should be through no fault of ours. if we have even augured evil, we are not of those prophets who would save their own credit, by endeavoring to verify their own predictions. We would rather avert the blow, if possible, like those greater ones, who denounced woe upon the transgressor ' and then inter ceded to conduct the bolt, which they had themselves invoked, harmless into the earth. There is, with us, at least no question of merely personal pride, or wisdom, that can outweigh the highest I.}nd dpurest interests of the land, which IS the country alike of our pride, our in terests; and our affections. False and True Smiles Thank heaven ! there are a goodly number of people who smile because they can't help it—whose happiness, bubbling Up from their heart, runs over in smiles at their lips, or bursts through them in jovial laughter. And there is a differ ence between the false and the true sym bol of joy, that enables the keen observer readily to distinguish one from the other. The natural expressiori of delight varies with the emotion that gives way to it, but the counterfeit smile is a stereotype, and the tone of whypoorite's laugh never varies. The crocodile, if the scaly old hypocrite he is represented to be, should be accredited with smiles si s s.well as tears. False smiles are, in fact, more common than false tears. It is the easiest thing in the world to win the smile, while only a few gifted individuals have sufficient command - of their eyes to weep at Few great tragedians, even, have the knack of laying on the water of affliction impivmptil ; but who ever saw a super nntnerary,bandit that could not " smile and smile, and be a villian," or a chorus singer or a ballet-girl, that did•not look as if she had been. newly tickled across the lips with a strati , 7 -01 artificial smiles, there are a greater number than we have space to classify. The Countess of, Bel= gravia has her receiving smile, a superb automatic effect. Count Faro, the distin guished foreigner, who is trying London this year because Baden-Baden does not ,agree with him, shuffles the eardSwith a smile that . distract otrery body's httention ,from 'his „fingers. ..

In short, smiling is a regular business acconiplishment i .of - thousands of people whose souls have no telegraphic communication with their lips. AN ITEM TOR THE HOME CIRCLE.- Somebody -says, and truly.too, that there are few families, anywhere, in which love is not abused as furnishing the license for impoliteness. A husband, father, or brother, will speak harsh words to those he loves best, simply, because the securi ty of love and family pride keeps him from getting his head broken. It is a shame that a man will speak more impolitely, at times to his wife or sister than he would to any other female, except_n low vicious one. It is thus that the honest affec tions of a man's nature prove to be a weak er protection to a woman in the family circle than the restraints of society, and that a woman usually is indebted 'for the kindest politeness of life to those not be longing to her own household. These things ought not to be sq. The man who, cause it will not be resented,• inflicts his spleen and bad temper upon ,those of his hearthstone, is a small crowd and a very mean man. Kind words are circulating mediums between true gentlemen and ladies at home, and no polish exhibited in society, can atone for the harsh lan guage and disrespectful treatment too of ten indulged in between those bound:to gether by God's own ties of blood, and, the more sacred bonds of conjugal love. NO. 38. THE CONDITIONS PRECEDENT OF RECONSTRUCTION. The question of reconstruction is not to be discuss e d and settled by a handful of wealthy slaveholders, who have tried rebellion and have grown tired of it. It is to be discussed and settled with the help of the whole people of the-Southern States. Let us hear what these have to say ; let us know what the poor whites, the nomslaveholders, the workingtn en of the South, want. It is for them to lift up their voices. It was. by silencing them that Davis and Yancey succeeded in "precipita ting the Southeri States into revolution." We must reverse the spell and "reconstruct"._ all . g . i . Vingthein [Tack their voice and influence. Twelve southern gentlemen, slaveholders, come to Washington, claim to represent Lonisana;and ask the President to restore civil government in the state. Their supporters here urge that they are men of predominant influence, and ought therefore to have their wish granted. But if they are so influential plain men reply, why did they not use their influence to put down the se cessionists in 1861 ? Why did they suffer their state to be dragged into rebellion no torionsly against the will of a majority of its peolde ? Before we can "reconstruct" we must re store liberty of speech, freedom of the press, safety to property and to personal rights in the South. We must by force of arms res cue the people of that part of the Union from the malignant power which has too long op pressed them. We must give them breath ing time, remove their fears of rebel ven geance, and enable the whole people to speak and to take part in rearranging their affairs. But to do that we must first defeat and disorganize and dissolve the rebel armies; a e must expel or imprison the rebel chiefs ;we must enable every private soldier,fin the re bel ranks to return, if he wi- bes, to his home and obey the laws ; or cause him if he is con tumacious, to leave the country. We must drive out the noxious swarms of hangers-on to the rebel chiefs—the vagabond preachers, stump !speakers and penny-a-liners, whose( -trade is rebellion, and whose appeals incited this vast mob in the South. Have we 'done that? Not yet. It will need some hard blows be fore this undertaking is completed. Our arm ies.aro. doing- well,- they .are-com manded by rn,•n of genius and energy i and our vet erans are inspired by the consciousness that they have met the enemy and beaten him on many fields. But they demand the support of the count y ; they are uneasy when they hear, after every victory of their arms,"only the growing clamor of empty and useless dis cussions in the free states. They say, "Stop your qitarrels about matters which are of no immediate motmmt ; the thing now in hand is to beat Davis, to crush the rebellion, to liberate half the Union from an infernal ty ranny. Let the future take care of its 'lf ; af fairs will right themselves without the tinker ing of damagogues ; the American people are not foe's. But let ns hurry to beat the rebels beforc. , we have foreign governments on our backs." And they are right. We busy our minds with angry discussions of reconstruction, to the great delight of the en emy ; and, meantime, that which goes be fore reconstruction, slips insensible from the popular mind—which ought to be engaged constantly with the one thought, How shall we rescue the Union from the perils which ,still surround and threaten it—perils which grow. greater every day that European schemers gain for their plots iu aid of the rebels? The Government is doing -well'; no fault can be found by the most exacting man with the conduct of the war in the last six or :eight mouths. It has reined victories. But the government is not all, in a free state; the people must support the government— not necessarily be praising it, but by showing equal spirit, determination and zeal with the administration —New York Evening Post. FROM A SOUTHERN UNION To tho Editor of the New York Tribune Sat : Nut long since, The l'o.'t published a set of suggestions as to how to edit a " con servative" paper, which appear to have been acted upon by all the questionable newspa pers in the Country ever since. One of the suggestions (in substance) was that imme diately upon any great disaster to, or any gre• t success of our arms, they should put forth feelers, enlarging upon the loss of life, expense, and delay; should ask if this cruel war is never to cease, and should hint an ariiiiStice, with a view to negotiating for peace on iii t e most magnanimous terms to the So cessiouists, especially if they were badly de feated. AB, O the Rebels are now almost crushed, it is to 'be expected that their fellow-traitors at the North will at once act upon this sugges tion with their usual unanimity and energy that they will even drop their programme in regard to "free speech," a "free press," and the Ounstitulion, to do so. Lest any feeble-minded Union man of the North should be misled by this, conceited outcry, allow me to call the attention of your readers to the following facts: 1. The loyal men of the South want-no armistice, comproinise, or terms of any sort, and will listen to';none that will be devised to screen traitors. 2. No man that has shown himself un flinchingly true to his country iu civil life, or-who has borne arms in her behalf, asks for or. will tolerate'anything of the sort. We of the South who have been,.ai-e, and always expect t:y be for the,Union, demand that the brave man 'who are putting down this wicked Rebellion, and not the coward 3 and traitors who have been impeding them, shrill be permitted to finish the job, which. they are its a'fair•way of completing, in - the only way that it ought to be finished—by force of arms: DYSPEkEIIA is said to be the remorse of a guilty stomach.
