TIE PRESIDENTS CoNF1DKSCE II BJRS-
s1DE-Thc President the other evening, in
the course Of conversation, declared that his
confidence in the military abilities Of General
Burnside, notwithstanding the rep1lse at
Fredericksburg, was unimpaired; more, that
it was strengthened. "Had Burnside" said
the President, "had the same chances Of sue
cess that Mcclellan wantonly cast away, to-
day he would have been hailed as the Saviour
cf his country. A golden opportunity Vas
lost By the latter General at Antietan1.''

reverend sir, who have known and CORES
ponded with him for so many years, you can
partially enter into the feeling which peryaoes

idea OF the gloom his death has cast o'er Pal

During the whole Of that period he devoted
himself to the study Of the Law, and the prac-
tice of good deeds.
As the faithful pastor and the benevolent
ruler he was equal to any Of his predecessors,
and was the chief treasurer Of al the moneys
received from nearly every section of the
globe, for his community. The best evidence
Of his administrative honesty exists in the fact
that, although in possession Of q good saIarT,
through his hands, yet he departed from our
midst with barely u piastre in his purse, leay-
ing his family actually destitute. fon will

Unless 1t is when infants die,
With saints on high to be.
The Lord has cut an earthly tie
To bind us to his throne,
And though 1t fills our hearts with grief,
We love to be his own.

That they may love him more,
And magnify his name IN Heaven,
When earthly tolls are DER.
Our love and care-our darling boy

Away to Heaven above.

To heal the wound he tore,
And bind our hearts he caused to bleed,
To win our love the more. EU.

ter the other day to inform US that he
would claim the publication of the list of
letters AS the amount allowed by law is
less than half our rates for advertising,

dollars year, the public will be able to
Judge how hungry Cobb's late clerk is for
a contract. The thing is so insignificant
that had we ten times the circulation of
cotemporary, We would not stoop so low as
to ask such 1 pittance from a postmaster
opposed to us in politics. The boaster
however will be met, and unless he can
"swear" as well as the concern could lie
when giving its circulation to the
Deputy Marshall for taking the census, he
may find that even with his quire or two of
dead heads, "some things are mighty un.

One hundred and fifty of our officers who
have been imprisoned in North and South
Carolina have been released by the rebels.
Many of them will lpo doubt take command
of the new regiments that are raising.
Wool is now higher than it has been for
forty.feur years. This is owing to the large
demand for army goods. and to the advanced
price of cotton. 1t will not soon fall so low
again as it has been of late years and we
shall be surprised if the focks upon our New
England hills are not greatly increased.

nate by Its proper name:
"The people are about to be taxed to pay
for the war which the Republican party gave
the pretext for, and to provide for the millions
of stealings which the corruptions of its lea
ders have carried away. The Democrats
have furnished two-thirds of the soldiers to
the war, and nine tenths of the Generals who
have planned and executed our victorious
battles-and stand ready to take charge of
the country, and by liberal statemanship
and honesty of expenditure to restore peace
and prosperity, re establish the Union and
preserve its only bond" the Constitution"
