applause which an intelligent and honest peo-
pie always render to distinguished merit. The
plan of financial policy which you have inltia,
ted by your acts, and developed in your oftlclal
reports, and which has thus far received the full
appreciation of the Representatives OF the Peo-
pile, will, ultimately, trust, be carried INTO com
plete operation; and its beneficial effects on
the currency of the country, and the best inter-
ests of society, will be, in all future time, more
than an adequate compensation for the momen-
tary injustice to which you have now been SUBJ
jected And as it is the martyrs in any cause,
whose memory is held most sacred; so the VIC
TINS in the great struggle to redeem our Repub-
lie from the corrupting domination of a great
moneyed power, will be remembered and hon
ored, in proportion to their services and their

ALEXANDRIA:
SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE %, 1884.

1t is laid down in the books that Metaphors
should seldom be drawn from objects which are
disagreeable or nauseous and that whenever
they are introduced, the mind should not be sui
fered to dwell upon the subject" Longlnus
makes line from Hesiod in violation of this
rule, the occasion for sharp criticism. Cur
ran,-when he spoke Of the corrupt judges I'M
der James H. and Charles II. who, said he, lay
ut the bottom of the stream of corruption, like
drowned bodies, while soundness or sanity re-
NAMED in them; but at length, becoming buoy
ant by putrefaction, rose as they rotted and
fioated to the surface of the polluted stream, y
&C. &c.,-was declared to be guilty of sin
against good taste and correct style. Public
speakers and writer's in this country are apt to
fall into the same error.

renewed their hostiites, and that fresh outra ges

town last evening under the command of Maj.
E. L. Finlay, for the scene of vioenCe-for the
purpose of putting stop to further outrage and
of arresting the parties implicated in these law
less acts. 1t is full time their further progress
was arrested by the constituted authorities.
The work of preserving the supremacy of the
laws will be the more easy, in consequence of
the subjoined compact, or treaty OF amlty,
which has been signed by certain individuals
on behalf of the beligerent parties. We trust
the treaty may be duly ratified, and that it may
result in a general and lasting peace. For this
important step in the work of pacifcation, the
community (and the parties) are chiefly indebt-
ed to the earnest and perSevering eXertons of
the Rev. Mr.. MElroy, in whose presence the
signatures were affixed. " BLESSED ARE THE
PEACE MAKERS"
On the Gath June, 1884, the subscribers, in the
presence of the Rev John M'Elroy have re-
spectively and mutually agreed to bury forever
on their own part, and on behalf of their re-
spective sections of country, all remembrance
OF feuds and animosities, as well as injuries sus
tanned. They also promise to each other, and
make sincere tender Of their intention, to pre-
serve peace, harmony and good feeling between
persons OF every part of their native country
without distinction.
They further mutually agree to exclude from
their houses and premises, all disorderly ner-
sons of every kind, and particularly habitual
drunkards: They are also resolved, and do in

Our Jackson friends are hunting up all the
harsh things that have been said by English po-
lticians against the Wings of that country. o.
Connel Charles Butler, and McCauley, have
all abused the English Wings. But, then, this
proves nothing. The Wings on the other side
of the Atlantic may have erred-no doubt have
erred frequently; but it is their boast always to
have been the friends of Liberty and the Peo-
ple-always to have opposed arbitrary power
always to have exerted themselves for popu-
lar rights. Party abuse can never destroy the
affectionate interest an American must take in
the name Of Wing.

upon you in the recess of the Senate, and now
renqushed in consequence of the refusal Of
that body to confirm your nomination, has been
received
cannot refrain from expressing on this oc-

your retirement from that important Office nor
paying just tribute to the patriotism, frmness.
and ability which you have uniformly exhibited
since your introduction into my cabinet. Know
ing that such station was not desired by you.
and was in opposition 10 your course of life
could not but feel grateful to you, when, in com
pance with my invitation, you exchanged the
independence OF your professional pursuits, for
the labors and responsibilities of the office of
Attorney General of the United States. This
sentiment was greatly and deservedly increas-
ed, during the last year, when upon becoming
acquainted with the difficulties which surrounded
me, and with my earnest desire to avail myself
of your services in the Treasury Department,
you generously abandoned the studies and avo-
cations to which your life had been devoted,
and encountered the responsibility of carrying
into execution those great measures which the
public interest, and the will of the People alike
demanded at our hands. For the prompt and
disinterested aid, thus afforded at the risk of
personal sacrifices, which were then probable,
and which have now been realized / feel that
owe you debt of gratitude and regard, which

official relations which connected me with your

thanks for the many and continued proofs of
kindness and confidence, which have receiv-
ed at your hands. | shall always bear them in
grateful recollection, and am, sir, with the high

When every sound save Natures voice is

Mute Shepherds song pipe-mute the harvest
An holer tongue seems given to stream and

Old men climb silent up the cottage hill,
There ruminate, and look sublime abroad
Shake from their feet as thought on thought

The dust of life's long, dark, and dreary road,
And from this gross earth rise, and give them
selves to God
The warning bell hath DER the parish rung,
Grove, glade, and glen, sound with the solemn

Wide at the summons every door is flung,
And forth devout walks many hoary swain,
Their meek wives with them; WHILE gayer

Young men, like lambs, upon Springs sunny
Come, light of foot and heart, to seek the house

glen,
"
For all the land pour'd forth its stately men,
Its matrons, with staid steps and holy book.
Where'er cottage smok'd, or flowed brook,
Or rose hall, or tower'd castle grey,
Youth left its joys, old age its cares torsook,
Meek beauty grew and look'd sedately gay,
Nor at her shadow glanced as she went on her
way.
Lo! see yon youth-clad as the seasons
clad
In homely green-he loves with aged men
To come conversing-hears sedately sad
Tales from their lips, which Escaped historic

And linger still in dale and pastoral glen
much they talk upon their kirkward way,
Ofhoy martyrs, who, by flood and fen,
Fell meath the prosecutors sword prey
They point towards their graves, and seem in
thought to pray.
And see yon maiden, beauteous as beam,
Stray'd from the sun upon creations morn;
Pure as the daylight in yon crystal stream
By which she walks-pure as the bladed corn
Begemm'd with dews, and ripening to be
shorn-
Her looks the 'greensward tighten all, her feet
Seem winged things, and from the ground
Birds sing new songs such loneliness to
greet
She's lovely, and in love-which makes her
doubly sweet

The sacred page to gaze upon her there;
Young hearts with awe were for the first time
struck,
And even the preacher in his parting prayer
Shut his grave eyes, and warn'd them to

Ofbeauty. Midst them like star she Shone,
Or pure lily born in dewy air;
Or rose the moment of its opening-None
Could look on her, but wish'd TO look on her
