IXsI0NFIoAEcEo oV INDIvIDUAIs.-An East
ern exchange, referring to the late reported
death OF jeff Davis, remarks:
We are not sure that the King Of the re-
belliOn is dead or alive. Time will deter
mine the question. But whether ailirma'
lively or negatively Is Of little consequence
comparatively, The evident satisfaction,
however. with which the news is received,
proves that the public mind is attaching an
undue Importance TO Mr.. Davis. lie may
be very clever person, but be Is not the
only mau, nor, perhaps, the greatest man IN
America, or even 10 the Southern portion
Of America. Individuals are not, never
have been, aud never will be, socially inde-
spensible. The world does not rev0lve on
80 small pivot. History shows that the
great movements Of nations are not depen'
dent on single minds or wills, however SUI
periOr, but In the masses of society and 1t
shows also that critical social exigency will
always produce, or call forth, genius fully
equal to its demand. To suppose, there
fore, that Mr.. Davis is the "bc all aud end
oil" Of this rebelliOn-that he is the axis on
which the fate of this great empire Of free,
united States must depend, is ridiculous.
II he is dead or is alive. we should accept
the fact, either way, at its real value,
aud not allow it undeserved importance.
The danger Is, that If we Ovprestimate men
on the side Of the REBEL on, we shall be ant
TO overrate them on our own side. Suppose
President Lincoln or General Mcclellan
should die suddenly. we conclude,
therefore, that this great contest for consti-
tntiOnal government, in which we are en-
gagged, was terminated with the life ofeither
Of the persons named Certainly not. Let
us, then, not imagine that Mr.. Davis or
Mr.. Stephens, or Beauregard, or johnson,
involves 10 his individual person the issue
OF the war. They may, respectively, be OF
no small value to the cause they have es.
poused. But the loss Of either would not
decide the controversy. The necessity
would bring into prominence men oflike OF
superior abilities. The war ip to be deter
mined by hard lighting, and the victory at
last viii be found on the side of the slong-
est battalions.

Uoes no silent, inward light,
Softly breaking. fall on theei
Does no dream on quiet wing
Float moment mid that ray,
Touch some answering mental string,
Wake note and pass away!
When thou watchest, as the hours
Mute and blind, are apeeding on,
Der that rayless spot where loweis
MufIled midnight, black and lonci
Comes there nothing lowering near,
Thought or half reality,
Whispering maryels IN thine car,
Every word mystery
Chanting low an ancient lay.
Eye-y plantive note spell,
Clearing memory's clouds away,
Showing scenes thy heart loves well
sopos forgot, In childhood sung.
Airs In youth beloved aud known,
Whispered by that airy tongue,
Once again and made thine own.

From the feeling, it's thine ownf
All thine own; thou need'st not tell
What bright form thy slumbsr blest--
All thine own; remember well

Nothing look cd upon thy bed,
Save the lonely watch-lights gleami
Not a whisper, not tread
Scared thy spirits glorious dream.

Breathed q moan aud then was stihi
Seemed the spell Of thought to fail,
Checked by one ecstatic thrills
Felt as all external things,
ROBBED in moonlight smote thine eye
Then thy spirits waiting wings

And sought 10 reach n home divine.

And again In sadness dreaTy
