GoUGus APosTRopHE TO CoLD WArER.-Look
at that, ye thirsty ones of earth Behold it =
See its purity! How it gstens, as If n mass of
liunid gems! 1t il II beverage brewed by the
hands of the Almighty himself! Not in sim
mering still, smoky fires. choked with
poisonous gases, aud surrounded by the stencil Of
sickening odors and rank corruptions, does your
Father in Heaven prepare the precious essence OF
life, the pure cold water but in the green glade
and grassy dell where the red deer wandcrs and
the child loves to play--thcre God brews it,
And down, down, in the deepest valleys where
the fountains murmer aud the rills sing--and
high up in the mountain tops, where the naked
granite gltters like gold in the sun, where the
storm clouds brood aud the thunder storms clash
- aud far away out on the wide sea, where the
hurricanes howl music and the waves roar the
chorus, sweeping the march OF God-there he
hrews it, that beverage of life-health giving
water! And everywhere it is thing Of beauty
cleaning in the dew drop, singing in the summer
rain, shining in the ice gem, till the trees all
seem turned into living jewels; spreading q
golden veil over the setting sun, Of the white
gauze over the midnight moon, sporting in the
cataracts, sleeping IN the bright snow curtains,
softly about the winlry world and weaving the
many colored iris, that seraphs' zone Of the sky,
whose warp is the rain drop of earth, whose
woof is the sunbeam of heaven, all checkered
over with celestial flowers by the mystic hand of
refraction. Sill always, always it is beautiful,
that blessed life water No poison bubbles on
the brink, its form brings no sadness or murder
no blood stains its lmpid glasses; broken heart
ed wives, pale widows and starving orphans shed
no tears in its depths. No drunkard's shrieking
ghost from the grave curses il in words of eter-
nal despair Beautiful pnre, blessed, and glo
rious-give me forever the sparkling Cold Water

THE Chicago Tribune has q Memphis dispatch
which says: negro who has arrived here
from the interior of Mississippi says that Gen.
Bragg caught the colored men planning how to
cmancipate themselves and join the Unlonists.-
He drove II number Of them into a corral, piled
dry twigs about them, and burnt them alive =
The negro says he was compelled to witness the
dying agones of his SON.
How that old darkey must have chuckled
when he found a reporter who was ass enough to
swallow that story. But the darkey will have
to try again, for there is German chap writing
home to the Independence Beige, who beats him
two to one. Hear him
New Orleans is taken You who live far
away, cannot comprehend the delirium it has
raised. Before surrendering it, the planters
burned their cotton, their sugar, and--shamc and
crime unparalleled they also burned their slaves.
Think of the degree Of insane fury to which they
were carried. They preferred to burn their
slaves rather than see them emancipated. Those
who were guilty of this atrocty called their in
offensive blacks together, and sent them into the
workshops and locked the doors the fire was
lighted and quickly did its work, while the mas
ters waited outside to shoot with their rifles the
old man, the woman, any who might leap
from the windows or roof 10 escape the dreadful
flames.

BLOT Our THOSE THINGs.-A Western jour
nalist thus responds to the demand that the
Union be restored to what il was:
"Blot out from the page of history the infa-
nous declaration of South Carolina that the
temple of freedom, which had grown to such ra
diant proportions, had been destroyed by her
treason and her shame. Place back on the
peaceful walls Of Fort Sumter that starry flag,
floating over the silent and unused columbads
which no foreign foe dared to provoke. Wipe
ont the crimson from those bloody fields, and
bid the the flowers to spring in spotless beauty
from an unstaincd sod Roll back to the womb
of the past those groans, and sighs and dying
cries of men who never had a thought OF evil to
their countrymen, but who died in defense OF
their Gag. Call up out of their graves the bodies
OF the martyrs who have paid their lives to pur-
chase freedom for their children and for the
world-bd them go back to their homes and
their liresdes, and make glad the widow and
orphan. while they sing the song OF love as OF
old. Blot out the records Of time, the story OF
ten thousand wrongs, Of Il nations dshonor and
world in woe Let them do these things, and
then cry in the ecstacy Of national pride and
glory for the Union as it was Until then, let
the man who hopes to have home and birth
right in a free land, for himself and children,
pledge his highest vow to make the Union what
it ought to be after the terrible ordeal through
which it is called to pass, aud then, redeemed,
purified and exalted, il will be what it once was,
before traitors lntrusted with its destinies,
in all the greatness of its power and the grandeur
of its destiny"
