THE QUESTION OF RECOGNITION.

The Herald treats with contempt the Tribune's
assertion that the recognition of the Southern Con-
federacy is forcgone conclusion in Europe and
says, $50 far from having any intention of inter-
fering in concerns, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the contrary is the case" The opinion
of neither paper is entitled to much weight
William Ii. Seward has sent circular to the
ministers abroad, conveying the astounding infor-
nation that the aggressive movement of the rebels
is arrested" and announcing the appearance of Lin
coins proclamation as follows:
In the opinion of the President the moment has
come to place the great fact clearly before the
people of the rebel States, and to make them under
stand that if the rebel States persist in imposing
upon the country the choice between the dissolu-
ton of this government at once necessary and
beneficial, and the abolition of slavery, it is the
Union and not slavery that must be maintained and
saved. With this object the President is about to
publish proclamation, in which he announces that
slavery will no longer be recognised in any of the
States which shall be in rebellion on the first of
January next While all the good and wise men
of all countries will recognise this measure as
just and proper military act, intended to deliver
the country from terrible civil war, they will re-
cognise at the same time the moderation and mag.
nanimity with which the government proceeds in a
matter so solemn and important Rich WAg

My young and gallant friend is gonel The last
sound which greeted his ear was the roar Of the
battle; the last sight Of his fading eye was the aec
tionate sympathy of his brave comrades in arms!
His noble heart once SO kind, SO generous, and SO
brave, now lies cold and STILL far from his home;
but his memory will long be cherished by his
friends and his country, and sincerely trust thar
merciful God has given him peace in the bright
and better land.
Mr.. Chairman, the unwritten history Of this war
would make terrible record of sorrow. 1t has de-
stroyed many warm friendships, blighted many
bright and beautiful hopes, and with bloody and
remorseless hand has sundered thousands of ties OF
the hottest love- 1t has made this fair land OF ours,
once the abode of peace and contentment OF pros
perity and plenty, the scene of carnage and desoa-
ton, and the dwelling place of want and anguish.
1t has filled our hearts with sadness, and our homes
with gloom; for many Of the young, the noble and
brave, who have gone forth will return no more.
Everywhere is heard the voice Of lamentation and
weeping and great mourning-many Rachael
weeping for her children. But trust that all OF
those who mourn may be comforted with the bless
ed hope that though weeping may endure for
night Joy cometh in the morning"

DEATH OF MAJ BALFoUR-A correspondent of
the Mobile Register, among other incidents of the
battle of Corinth, gives the following:
At Davis bridge, on Sunday, the accomplished
and gallant Balfour, of Gen. Van Dorn's staff was
fatally wounded. He was observed to suddenly
turn deathly pale and dsmount cautiously from his
horse. He was asked if he was injured and replied
in the negative He then walked to the shady side
of a house, fell in a reclining position and drew his
revolver. He had been MORALLY wounded, Minnie
ball passing through his bowels; but with full
sense of his injury, he cody resigned himself to his
fate endeavoring to attract as little attention and
create as little alarm possible. He died few
hours after receiving his wound, with unsurpassed
GOODNESS and resignation. Maj. Bafour was men,

ACCOUNTING ScENEs.-A letter from Sharpsburg
Nd, of recent date furnishes the following mel
ancholy incidents:
Many scenes of the most distressing character are
daily witnessed in the hospitals and on the field
This vast country, filled with the dead from every
State, is the goal of many pilgrim: Some, coming
to find the dead are overoyed at finding the object
of their search still living others who seek the liv-
ing are shown to the spot where lies the dead. In
the beginning of the week mother and daughter
from distant State, came to the hospital in Sharps-
burg hoping to administer to the wants of their hus
bands whom they believed to be convalescent-al-
most able to accompany them home. But alas !!
who can measure the anguish Of their hearts when
they learned that husbands, father, and son, were
dead and already three days beneath the earth.--
They were led in deep sorrow to the grave, and i'm
mediately threw themselves upon the mounds, and
in the frenzy of despair and with their hands tore
away the ground, screaming and crying aloud in the
most heart rending tones. When they had wholly
exhausted themselves with weeping, the ladies who
accompanied them took them up and brought them
to the village.

themselves to their work again, and proceeded to
make his promise good. Let the commander be
praised and let his soldiers receive also their due
honor. To applaud sentiment which devoted them

TIE EXEMPTION LAw.-We copy in another COL
umn an editorial from the Standard containing some
comments upon provision in the military exemp-
ton law. We fully concur in the Standards stric-
lures upon the law. We have on many occasions,
refained from canvassng the justice and propriety
of certain acts of Congress which did not meet our
views for fear of producing more harm than good in
such discussion. We hope we fully appreciate the
improperly, in the present critical situation Of the
country, of mere factious opposition to the consti
tuted authority of the Confederacy; but yet free
press would be derehct in its obligations to the peo
ple it to enter its protest against unequal
and unjust laws That the provisions of the ex-
emption law grants special favors to the people of
the Cotton States and the largely saveholding COM
munities, is so plain as to need no argument At
present. we are not disposed to discuss the subject
further than to enter protest against any such
unjust discrimination. Greensboro, Patriot.

another allusion to Gen. Mcclellan brought down
rounds of applause Mr.. Seymour was followed iii
his speech by Mr.. John Van Buren,, who declared
that he had never supported candidate with more
satisfaction than he should support Mr. Seymour.
Still he had, following the suggestions OF an ntelli-

Mr. Seymour's concurrence, that both candidates
for the Governorship should withdraw in favor of
Gen. Dix He denounced Gen. Wadsworth as an
open, bitter, malignant enemy OF Gen. Mcclellan,

Wadsworth had not changed his views in regard to

mand of the army, and ever got to Richmond, he
would say, "Gallant Greeley, advance! Forward

Carolina, and stay there forever" He declared it
as his opinion that if there should he attempt to
make this war for the abolition of slavery, and to
arm the brutal helots of the South it would be the
highest duty of European nations, civilized and
Christian nations to interfere.

WRITTEN By SPECIAL REoUEsr.)
Speak kindly to the soldier,
His home is far away;
And all the loved companions
Who cbeer'd bis youths bright day:
No words from kindred voices
Fall on bis list'ning ear
Nor looks of deep devotion.
+, From those his heart holds dear.
His cheek is pale with sorrow,
His bosom filled with woe;
And burning tears of anguish,
In secret oftimes flow.
Upon the soeary night auatch,
i. His mind flies DER life's track,
And olden dreams of gladness
Come wildly rushing back.
Before his vision rises,
In a far distant land,
AT the Silly hour of twilight,
Another household band:
The CHEEKY fire is blazing,
But each brow is marked with care
The darling, and the loved one,
No more is gathered there.
And as these scenes pass by him,
A tear-drop dims his eye;
And from his quivering young lip
There trembles up sigh.
Speak kindly oh, speak kindly
Twill cheer his aching heart,
And cause the storms Of darkness
From out his soul depart.
Speak kindly to the soldier,
=, With merry jest and song;
Thy kindred aud thy loved ones,
Daily around thee throng:
With Joy each young eye beameth,
Each lip wreathes with smile:
But the heart of the lone soldier
Is weary all the while.
Speak kindly oh, speak kindly!
Each sorrowing thought allay;
And send his darkened spirit
Rejoicing on its way.
