A Terrible Tragedy.

A terrible tragedy occurred in Exeter,
Otsego county, New York, last week. Levi
Thomas and bis wife had recently returned
from Ohio, bringing with them two of their
three children-girs of twelve and fourteen
years of age. On the morning in question
these girls were awakened by their father,
who came into their room. He kissed
them both, and spoke of two men who be
said owed him small sums of two and three
dollars each; after which he returned to the
chamber where Mrs. Thomas was sleeping
and stepped on the foot of the bed, whence
he deliberately fred one shot at her head
from revolver. The ball grazed her cheek
and she spraDg up and grappled him as be
was preparing to fire second time. The
little girls, alarmed at the noise, jumped out
of bed and entered the room in time to see
him get their mothers head between his
knees and shoot her through the back. He
then released her and she turned over when
he shot her again in the breast. Immedi-
ately afterward he placed the muzzle of the
pistol at his left ear and shot himself
through the head. He died Immediately,
but his unfortunate wife fingered about
half an hour. Thomas was man of sus-
picious disposition, and was always disposed
to doubt bis wiie's chastity, though by
everybody else she was believed to be inno-
cent OF any disloyalty to him, even in
thought.

ON THE DEATH OF A FRIEND.
BY FITZ.GREEN HALLECK.

He hath been mour2ed as brave men mourn
the brave,
And wept as nations weep their cherished
Dead
With bitter, but proud tears, and o'er his head
The eternal flowers whose root is in the grave,
The flowers of Fame, are beautiful and green !;
And by his graves side pilgrim feet have been,
And blse sings, pure as men to martyrs give,
Have there been breathed by those he died to
save.
Pride of his country's banded chivalry,
His fame their hope, his name their battle cry;
He lived as mothers wish their sons to live,
He died as fathers wish their sons to die.
If on the .grief-worn cheek the hues of bliss,
Which fade when all we love is in the tomb,
Could ever know on earth second bloom,
The memory of gallant death like his
Would call them into being but the few,
Who as their friend, their brother, or their son,
His kind warm heart and gentle spirit knew,
Had long lived, hoped, and feared for him
alone;
His voice their morning music, and his eye
The only starlight of their evening sky,
Till even the sun of happiness seemed dim,
And life's best joys were sorrows but with
him;
And when, the burning bullet in his breast,
He dropped, like summer fruit from off the
bOugh,
There was one heart that knew and loved him
best
1t was mother's-and is broken now.

important Political Movements i'm
California.

FORT KEARNEY, June rs.
The Pony Express passed here at eleven
o'clock yesterday morning, bringing the
following for the Associated Press:
SAN Francisco, June 16.-The Breckin.
ridge State Convention adjourned on the
18th instant, without making any nomina.
tion. The result was unexpected to the
members of the party, and seems to have
been brought about by two causes: FIRST,
the hope of uniting large portion of the
late Douglas and Bell. Everett parties when
they meet again on the 23d of July, upon a
common basis of opposition to the Admin
lstration, it being a general impression
among them that reaction will take place
in popular sentiment within the next four or
five weeks, which will array powerful
party in the North against President Lin
coin and his new policy.
Second, an inability to fix upon at pres.
ent standard bearer for the coming con-
test. A copy of the platform of the con-
ventiOn and tender on the nomination was
telegraphed to Governor Downey at Los~
Angelo, and bis reply was an emphatic re-
fusal to accept OF the nomination. The
substance of their platform is "The Union
and the Constitution, but disunion rather
than war;
The Irrespective Union Convention called
by men wishing to ignore all past party
names, and to unite all the uncertain men
OF the state in one party, met at Sacramento
on the 18th instant. The attendance of
delegates was rather slim-not sufficient for
the transaction of business, so the Conven>
tlon adjourned to meet again on the 10th
July. This failure seems to settle the fact
the Union men of California do not intend
to abandon their partizan organizations eith>
er as Republicans or Democrats.

OUR ORDERS.

Weave no more silks, ye Lyons looms,
To deck our girls for gay delights!
The crimson bower of battle blooms,
And solemn marches fill the nights.
Weave but the flag whose bars to-day
Dropped heavy Ger or early dead,
Aud homely garments, coarse and gray,
For orphans that must earn their bread |!
Keep back your tunes, ye walls sweet.
That pour delight from other lands
Rouse there the dancers restless feet,
The trumpet leads our warrior bands.
And ye that wage the war of words
With mystic fame and subtle power,
Go chatter to the idle birds,
Or teach the lesson of the hour!
Ye Sibyl Arts, in one stern knot
Be all your offices combined!
Stand close, while courage draws the lot,
The destiny Of humankind
And if that destiny could fail,
The sun should darken in the sky,
The eternal bloom of Nature pale,
And God, and Truth, and Freedom die

GEN. SCOTT'S POLICY.
Defence of the Old Generals Plan of
the Campaign.
Correspondence OF the Ciucin All Commercial.

Correspondence OF the Ciucn All Commercial.
WASHINGTON. June %.
Gen. SCOTS anaconda moves his giant
coils but slowly. All Virginia, as all the
country by this time, understand the policy
of Gen. Scott. 1t is to run no rsks-tO
use all the energies of the Government in
deliberately crushing rebellion-making the
war one not of great battles, but of posi-
tions, and a question not of one bloody field,
but of resources, of capacities of enduring
the strain of war. For instance The ana
conda is now coiliDg himself especially
about the State of Virginia. His head is
fixed fast at Fortress Monroe. He has a
tremendous coil at Washington. There is
Col. Stones command on the Potomac,
west of this city. Gen. Patterson's COM
mand in the Harper's Ferry region. The
troops that have penetrated Western Vir,
ginia, along the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. And lastly, Gen. McClelan's Ka
nawha Expedition. At the present moment
the secession States have emptied into Vir-
glnia their population capable of bearing
arms and getting away from home, and are
devouring the substance of the State. 1t is
believed that for the present the Confeder-
ate forces are about equal to the Federal
forces, inand bearing upon Virginia. But
this cannot last. The Confederate horde
must soon advance or fall back. If it adj
vances, it is upon destruction. If it re-
treats, the generalization and disintegratiOn
of the army follows as matter of course.
The fatal dogma of secession will have its
way with the COntederates. Once roll back
the Confederate army even beyond the Rap
pahannOck, and it must roll the rest of the
way to the Gulf with constantly accelera
ting velocity. Suppose Mcclellan should
reach and hold Lynchburg, and occupy the
railroad there, which is the spinal cord of
the Conlederacy, long enough to render it
unavailable, and should 60 as far as Knox
vile, Tennessee, where there is powerful
Union sentiment-the only line of retreat
Davis would have, would be through the
CHASTITY woods of North Carolina.
The Federol force here is very great, as
it appears to US. To look at it, it seems
competent Tor any military exploit. And
yet, the Confederate armies in Virginia
doubtless seem to the people of that State
as aoundanty able to destroy all the
Northern invaders" who may be mustered.
SO let us dspassionately examine the re-.
sources of the parties in this contest.
For the present, the Southern army is
tolerably we'll clothed and ftd; but the men
are wearing their old clothes and shoes, and
are fed by making exhaustive levies upon
the surrounding country, by eating the
cattle and the grain, the pigs and poultry,
by wholesale. This cannot last. The old

their masked batteries, and falling before
the steady, systematic and overwhelming
advance of the army of the Union, whose
momentum must demolish all opposition.
Gen. Scott must be dealt with dec idedly.
He must be entrusted with the entire con-
troll OF operations, or all responsibility for
them must be withdrawn from him.
The President has determined to trust
him in war matters most implicitly and
though great deal may be done with Mr..
Lincoln, and sometimes by personal impor-
tunity, he is the most obstinate of men when
he is convinced that be is right; and he
would not bulge an inch if the whole coun-
try should howl, and even the Chicago
Platform give forth symptoms of decay and
suffering.
1t has been insinuated that the Presi-
pent and Cabinet were losing confidence in
Gen. Scott. With perhaps the exception
of one Cabinet officer, Mr.. Blair their
opinion is embodied in the following words,
which were employed within the last week
by one of them: "It is perfectly certain
that General Scott's plan will be success
ful. The only objection is that it takes an
enormous force, and more time than the
country is willing to spare. The Lieuten>
ant Generals anaconda will do his work.
The only objection is it eats too much.
Some other plan might have more speedy in
execution. None other would have been
so certainly executed"
SCOTS system Of wearing out and crush
ing down the Southern rebels is, beyond
doubt, precisely the sort of warfare that
they hold most heartily in detestation. II
they have wild spree of a campaign, full
of encounters and adventure, they might get
along with it, with some spirit and cheer
fulness But to be slowly pulverized under
weight they are incapable of lifting, is in.
tolerable. They feel that between the
blockade and the Federal army they are in
mill that, though it grinds slow, makes
fine work, and they are becoming desperate.
The cost of the war will be enormous
no doubt of that-and the Secretary of the
Treasury is maturing bis policy for provid-
ing the means. Can state with authority
to propositions. First-that be will bor-
row the money from the people, instead of
going to the banks fOrit. Second, that the
tariff will be modified so as to yield the
largest possible revenue. The smallest
treasury notes issued will be of the denom-
ination of twenty dollars, and all will bear
seven per cent and fraction interest. Each
note will have endorsed upon it statement
of the sum of interest it draws for day, so
that every plain old farmer or mechanic, or
other person not accustomed to cyphering
up financial mysteries, who may loan the
Government money, can tell at glance how
much interest the Government owes him
every day. The agents of the Government
who will serve in this extraordinary fnan-
cial emergency will probably be the Post
masters or County Treasurers.

rousing fire. Before leaving l went into

the poor fellows looked at me as they saw,
