WHERE THEY REST
In a little valley hollowed
From the mountain's verdant crest,
Far above the ocean's level.
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.
There a little streamlot glidoth,
Smiling on like something blest;
Arid the fresh winds front the mountain,
Joining with that sweet-voiced fountain,
Singing a ceaseless song above them,
Ear. all nature seemed to love them,
In their rest.
mu
Now the little Pleasant Valley"
In a pure white robe Is dressed:
And the winds, In solemn measures,
Chant their 'lrge—and, wentrous treasures—
Ermine robes and gems in keeping
IVibter coots above the sleeping :
Still they rest.
Then, are but the caskets, folded
In the valley's sheltering breast;
But, by faith, we see the shining,
Of the crowns of peace, entwining,
:.—Splrit,browttnll..w-hite-and-pearly,
Of the loved who left us early—
Seeking rent.

LOVE vs SHOULDER STRAPS,
" Why do I treat Ellis Benedict so
cavalierly, and devote my time to petting
Lii ut. 31organ, did you ask, Lou? '1 hat's
rather a saucy quilstiou, via. belle„but as
you haYe censtitufcu yourself' my father
confessor, 1 sup; osc I must e'en answer
it, though I wonder that you ask such a
simple thing. Didn't you know that a
soldier's uniform was, and ought to be,
an irresistible attraction to a sensible and
patriotic girl such as your friend is sup
posed to be ?"
" 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,

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. What
he read there -deponent sayeth hot,
but -it seemed , very satisfactory to him,
judging from the look of happiness , that
swept over his face, and the little - hand
that lay on his was clasped more
tightly in his, but it was under the lioayy'

spent in conversation, but very much was
said in those short moments, and when
the whistle blew, and the cry-of "All a
board" rang through the depot, Gracie
was folded tightly in his arms for a mo
ment, and then he sprang upon the car
steps with a radiant face, not very much
like the one with which he entered the
depot.
A year has passed since then, and Cap

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.
We see the result afterwards when the
same girls become our servants and the
wives of groops and porters. , The fo-

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

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

space to classify. The Countess of, Bel=

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.

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:
