Returning to their Fir.. Love.

One of the positive errors in which the
rebels comforted themselves in the COM
mencement of the rebellion, was the be-
lief that the efforts Of the Government to
crush their treason would be parayzed by
division Of sentiment in the loyal States.
The spontaneous enthusiasm manifested
by almost the whole people of the North
in responding to the call to arms, unde-
ceived them, and they realized for time
that they had counted upon treason where
patriotism more abundantly abounded. -
In bitter disappointment they yielded this
source of hope, and gave it no further at
tention for brief period. Latterly symp-
toms OF the return of this hope began ito
manifest themselves. The FIRST pubic
recognition of their existence was the
rather curious order of Gen. Beauregard,
issued at Charleston, requiring the Fed
eral army to be called the abolition
army This suggested very plainly that
the rebels had some reason to hope for
succol from that portion Of the Northern
people who apply the word Abolition
list" as stigma TO every person who
does not acknowledge the divinity of sla-
very. The comments of the Richmond
Wing, published elsewhere, on the recent
elections, demonstrate, without further
evidence, ,hat the reDeis are returning to
their first love, though with some trepi-
dation--a very natural result of sore dis
appointment-and through that old af-
lection they imagine they SEQ the road to
peace. How much /" Black Republican
Administration and Democratic Con-
gress ready to cut each others throats,'
Will set the war back, is to be decided
when that state Of affairs shall happen--a
thing about as remote as the recognition
OF the Southern Confederacy.--[St. Lous

New York, Nov. IT.
A Warrenton correspondent Of the
Tribune says Burnside has not disap
pointed the army, the Administration o,
our loyal people at large. The army Of
the Potomac is again under marching
| orders. Gen. Sumner, now commanding
two large corps, is this morning en- route
for an important point which will take
two or three days to reach | will no,
name. The rebels of this village in order
to console theuselye upon seeing this
great corps march through their States,
are circulating reports that Jackson has
fallen from his mountain points upon our
rear and that we are rapidly fleeing from
him. Queer, that they should flee from
one and that in the vicinity of Richmond.
All that jackson can now get in our rear
he is welcome to have. Gen Lee will
require the services OF Gen. Jackson in
front, if he has not already been ordered
to join the main body of the rebel army.
The following is special from Wash
inglon to the Tribune
A number of prominent ship-mer-
chants are nowhere urging upon the
sec'y Of War and Navy the immediate
aud very great Importance of closing up
Charleston harbor, at present the great
port Of entry Tor all central trade.

This morning the second army corps,
Gen. Sumner, moved to the front. They
are probably en- route for Fredericksburg,
but may 60 to Culpepper c. Il. From
that point the other commanders will
move as rapidly as possible. Headquar-
tiers will move tomorrow. Col. Smith,
Chief Quartermaster, has gone to Wash
ington for the purpose of Fastening the
work of establishing communication via

shall soon have the old line of communi-
cation opened. The bridges over the

BuRssIDE's HoRsE.-As all relating
to Gen. Burnside is ofinterest, "Colonel, .
his war horse, deserves passing men,
ton. He is bay, with compact, heavy
BODY, and short, stumpy legs, being thus
well calculated for the weight Of his
doughty rider. sColonel'' is about
twenty years old. and carried his master
during the Mexican war, Immediately
after ne graduated, in lS47. He is still
full of spirit, but tranquil as a stone,
under fire, which he eyes with supreme
indifference, His composure is ruiiied
only BY an attempt ct familiarity by stran-
gers. With kindled eyes he then starts
back and strikes at them horizontally with
his fore feet.--Phil. Press.

A Curious Fact.

The probable change in the political
complexion of the next House of Rep
resentanves, as compared with the pres
ent. recalls the striking fact that for the
last thirty eight years the last House Of
Representatives, during the term Of each
administration, has been politically OPP
posed TO that administration, as will be
seen by the list of respective speakers
during these terms

JAYBIRD,-Tuesday morning We witnessed
a somewhat novel sight Il was an attack of
woodpeckers upon jaybird. In one of the
oak trees, which so beautifully skirt our town,
limb" looking very gay and no doubt pluming
himself on his good appearance, when suddenly
there swooped down on him three woodpeckers
husband, wife and brother-in-law las we as
certaned upon inquiry who occupied the tree
as family inheritance. The husband aud
brother-n law had red heads, but the wife's
head might by courtesy have been called au-
burn, in Difference to the female sex. The jay
bird fought manfully against the odds, and
filed his bill with feathers plucked from the
backs Of his antagonists. Finally while he
was busy with the husband and wife, the
brotherin law pecked him on the head with
prodigious thump, and he at once changed the
base of his operations TO the ground. There
he was set upon by little girl who thought
to secure MIN as a pet. Pretty soon small
sized boy also came to the attack, and hard
pressed, the poor bird (fatigued and wounded
by his encounter with the woodpeckers, and
unable to fly far) again sought refuge in the
tree The woodpeckers Immediately bounced
him the second time, and applied their bills
in such manner as soon to disodge him from
his perch. They followed up the success and
actually mingled 10 the chase with the humans
on the ground until the humans tried to catch
them, too, and they retired, screaming, to the
tree At last, man with couple of dogs
came up, aud the humans and the woodpeckers
and the dogs, together, succeed in capturing
the poor jaybird. He was unnjured by the
dogs, they having been trained not to crush
birds or chickens when seized. and the only
wound Of a serious nature was perforation in
his skull from the bill Of one Of the woodpeck-
ers. out Of which the blood boiled IL crimson
bubbles He was handed over as q captive to
the little girl before mentioned she ran home
with him, and what was his subsequent fate
we have not learned
MogAL Neither bird nor man can stand
too many bills at one time, nor will either be
apt to find friends when once down.

JUST AS IF NO CHRIST HAD DIED.
BY ELIZA Il. BARKER.

On a wide and scorehing Savannah, through
burning summer day.
Thousands of our bleeding soldiers from the hat
ties conflict lay.
Brave young hearts had ceased their beating
brows in manhood's prime were low:
Palld faces drawn in anguish, strong hands sever
ed by the foe.
All in silent horror resting-victor, vanquished
side by side;
With no holy rites of burial-just as if no Chris,
had died
OF ghastly dead,
On little mound reclining, lay young and gentle
head:
Twenty summers had not stolen from his cheek the
b0yish bloom,
And the spring-tim of MS manhood had not shed
its fresh perfume;
Now he lay manged martyr, with no comrade at
his side.
With no friend in earth or heaven-just as if no
Christ had died
Seftly with its gentle kisses, came the night wind
on his hair.
Lifting up its CORY MASSES laying the white fore
head bare.
Twas mothers soul that sent it. for in midnight
To her weeping eyes the vision of battle field of
fame;
And her boy lay pale and bleeding, with no com.
rade by his side
Vain had been her prayers and weeping-iust as if
no Christ had died
Through the torrid days the wounded, manned and
mutilated lie.
(Corses piled above. around them) sick and lone
unheeded die;
Not a drop Of grateful water to the parchiug lips
may come.
Nought Is heard afar in distance but the slow re-
treating drum.
And the trains Of ambulances, slowly moving, side
by side.
Laden all with human angush-just as if no Christ
had died,
Now another day has risen, still the manned are
helpless there,
And the fetid dead are sending poisoned vapors
through the air:
And the sick and nmbless soldiers shout in agony
in vain,
Men who left your wives and mothers. We will new
er meet again
And the sun goes down in glory on the dying, side
by side
Forsaken both by earth and heavtn-iust as if no
Christ had died
Ger the land, in every hamlet, walls are on the
moaning air.
Every hearth has lost loved one-who will fill the
empty chair
And the Fead of War is rushing, on his wild steed
And his trumpets shrieking clamor echoes on the
midnight blast.
And the angels all have left us-to our sin, and to
our pride
And the heavens are closed upon us-just as if no
Christ had died.
Woman thou art nearer boayen-rear our house
hold altars now,
Pile on them the nation sorrow, be the weeping
priestess thou!
Gather in the broken-hearted hoaly men, TOO proud
to wall:
Mothers, daughters pallid statues, osphan children
thin and pale;
Widows, desoiate and pining none to succor, none
to guide
With no friend in earth Or heaven-jus as if no
Christ had died
Dreary homes, which love had lighted gone is all
your sunshine now.
What to you the victor's triumph what the
wreath that binds the brow ?
Bhghted hearts whose desolation none can ever
soothe or share.
Earth to YOU darkened houor-let your agony
he prayer
Let the sacrifice of sorrow ope the gates of mercy
wide;
Give peace, Lord OF Nations, let not Christ in
vain have died
