The House then again went into COM
mittee on this subject, Mr.. Baidzain in
the chair.
Mr.. Holmes, of Massachusetts,, re.
aumed the floor, and occupied about two

he commenced yesterday, against the
proposed restriction.
Mr.. Smyth, of Virginia, followed on
the same side, but had not proceeded
far in his argument, when he gave way
Tor motion for the committee to rise.
The committee rose accordingly, and
obtained leave to sit again; and
The House adjourned to Monday.

General in other cases, ofwhich extracts
are enclosed, pointedly disapProylng
whipping, it appears that he makes dis
.;ncf;on between co668 and Strihes and
toahea." which last are only mentioned
in the act of May 10, 1912, repeating a
mart of the 87th article of the rules and
articles ofwar.
1t also appears, that, soon after the
neace, two General Courts Martial, Or
dered by General Macomb, sentenced
several soldiers to receive .ffy ia8heS
each, which sentences were approved by
the General, and ordered to be carried
into effect. AS such sentences have not
since occurred, it is presumed that an
impression prevailed in that command,
at that time, that the act fixing the peace
establishment, by generally repeating
the laws enacted during the late war,
restored the provision which authorized
punishment by stripes and lashes before
the war.
These are the only cases I have been
able TO find on the records; and 1t Will
be observed that all, except that OF MAJOR
McClassin, were within the jurisdiction
of the commanding generals, and never
came up to the War Department, but as
a place of deposit for the records OF
courts, 10 the end that the persons en-
titled thereto may be enabled, upon ap-
plication, to obtain copies thereof. " In
this case, the sentence of the court was
approved by the President, and the Ma
1or was accordingly dismissed the SER
vice.

feet respect, your obedient servant,

POETRY.
sTANzAs.

Oh fain would my rowing thoughts restnln
From wandering careless DER these hee,ing
scenes;
Bid them reject whatever here is vain,
And fix where nothing trif1ing intervenes
OF the dread time when lie shall fade away,
When the brief lamp, expiring, fails to burn
When all our boasted mental powers decay,
And this poor frame to primal dust shall turn.
How the mind pauses at the thought OF death,
And dweIls with sadness on the final bed,
The last adieu that fills the ling'ring breath,
Which friendship calls for, ere the springs are eo'
The solemn contest with the last OF Foes,
The fickering strife of being for control
The painful prelude to the graves repose,
The body's awful severance from the soul
And, ali The transit to the duli, cold tomb,
Where the slow worm shall banquet on my clay J
NV friends will leave me in the earth's DARK womb
And turn them from my charnel-house away
No nause in nature will our parting mark,
but all the world viii hold It's us''a round
Time with as swift foot his course will track
Nor stay his progress when we're under ground
Winters cold blast viii bring as deep gloom,
Stern and unfeeling as it oft has been;
Breezes as mild, andAowers as sweetwl bloom
On the springs breast, and wait the season ln'
The summers solstice, with as warm glow
win scatter its fertility around;
And autumn's leaves, when her keen air shall biow
B,jghted and scar, will vither on the ground
From orient skies the sun will usher day,
No raw the less will beam in radiant light,
And the pale moon viii wend her silent way,
Needless Of him who mark'd her course by night; |
Thril'd into poetry; the noon OF night
When all the noble feelings of the heart
Seem'd the fit hour when genius would impart
Her inspiration, and breath forth her light.
The lovely lawn, enamefd with the dew'
Yon wild and lonely summit of the hill,
Scenes where my infancy to manhood grew,
viii be as lonely and as still.
With the fond tear BY love or friendship shed,
The mournfuI eye but short time is wet;
And those whom purest principle had led
To grasp the warm hand--eyen they forget.
But hark what seraph strain breaks on the ear,
Through the chill horror ofthe darksome grave
REIIe1oS's voice dispeIs each gloomy fear,
ProcIaims to man he has soul to save.
Bids him its preeepts as reyeaId to scan,
Pursue the path in which the Saviour trod;
To do his duty to his fellow man,
And trust his welfare to the living God.
