Who is President I?

Mr. Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania made
the startling announcement in the Republican
Congressional Caucus, Monday evening, that
the modification Of that portion of Secretary
Cameron's report which discussed the policy of
the Government in the treatment Of slaves, was
made by the President, under threat from Gen
Mcclellan that unless it was modified he would
resign. We hope it will turn out that Mr..
Stevens has been misnformed respecting the
facts, although he stated it positively, and with
out qualification. Our Institutions have re,
celved very severe shock in the armed attempts
OF jeff Davis and his conlederates, to dictate to
the majority Of the Nation the policy which
they wished pursued in respect to Slavery, and
If the head of the Union army is allowed to do
the same thing, what have the friends OF Free
dom gained by resisting the domineering slave
holders

Ealing Asleep IN Jesus.

There are two figures OF dying in Tia r..

Our Precious Graves.

DY JAMES BOLTON.
Our p, ecious graves
Those islands midst the long grass-Saves
Those messy mounds kept moist by tears.
Those white stones whispering names and years
How dear the soil,
Once dug by common laborers' toll,
lBut now the halloH.l beds, though hard.
OF sanity forms which angels guard.
We laid them there,
With bleeding hearts and tenderest care,
With words Of hepe and prayers Of pain,
Which spoke Of meeting them again.
And though the clay
Was heapcd upon them on that day.
Yet still! they seemed Within our reach
Within our love, within cur speech.
And oft we 90,
When Summer sunsets fame and glow,
Or when the snow upon them lies,
Like glistening IA ncnt from the skies.
And there we muse
OF tchat they ,csre and that glad news
Which Jesus brought us, when He said.
:" Will restore your darling dead"
And then we smile,
To think how Sin little while.
That sod viii heaye, and from it burst
A blossom fairer than the first.
So precious graves,

and Jesus ao|ds and brings your key.
