Of party whose history, thus far. is
written in failure in corruption and pub
lie ruin ?
May | not say in failure, when in vain
l ask for one good act Of that party, one
single measure of its adoption that adds
to the prosperity of the people or to tho
greatness Of the country All men will
say in failure, when the results of Repub
lican rule are experienced by the light of
promises made before the election, when
the good times promised are compared
with the hard times brought. Nav not
say corruption, when the factions of that
party contend in mutual accusations of
most enormous frauds and peculations--
when the supporters of Fremont threw
back the charges preferred and proven
against him by the extraordinary defense
that the sappers and miners at and about
Washington, the Camcrons, the Weeds.
the Wells, the Morgans and the Cum.

when to such astounding lengths these
things have gone. The spaller here read
an article from one Of the Cincinnati pa.
pers touching this matter.
In this connection it is right that hon.
orable mention and exception be msdo

party is being written in public ruin.
and docs any man hesitate to believe it ?
Ii so let me refer him to the broken insti
tutions, to disturbed commerce and in
tcrrupted trade, to a deranged currency
and the low prices of all our valuable
productions, and let me ask, is public
ruin not marked upon all In what sin.
gle thing that we value are we now as
secure as we were before the Republican
party came into power? Is it individual
wealth, or public credit? Your depre-
Gated estates, and the bonds of Indiana
refused in the market at eighty cents on
the dollar, furnish the answer. Is it in
dividual security and liberty Hear the
response in the groans of men confined

TEgE WAY TO KEEP EgEM.

frotGully, as her husband rose from the tea
table and donncd his great coat.
"Nes, ! have an engagement with

then-why does he treat me with so much

such iretiul queries, Lizzie Hayes fell

rejoicing in his strategy

farmer for many chickens, and much hon

movcth on the ninth day to another post.
6. His tent is filled with potatoes, cab
bage, turnips, krout and other delicate
morsels of select delicious taste, which
abound not in the commissary department.
7. And many other things not in the
return and which never will return; vet,
OF a truth, it must be said of the soldier
Of the Kansas First, that of surety he
takcth nothing which he cannot reach !

MISSING.


The following lines have rare beauty ant
ouching pathos ::
Not among the suffering wounded;
Not among the peaceful dead
Not among the prisoners. "MissING"--
That was all the message said.
Yet his mother reads it over,
Until, through her painful tears,
Fades the dear name she has called him
For these two-and twenty years.
Round her, all is peace and plenty;
Bright and clear the yellow floor
While the morning gloric5 cluster
All around the kitchen door.
Soberly the sleek old house cat
Drowscs in his patch Of sun
Neatly shines the Oakcn dresser;
All the mornings work is done.
Through the window comes the fragrance
OF sunny harvest morn,
Fragment songs from distant reapors,
And the rustling Of the corn,
And the rich breath Of the garden,
Where the golden melons lie,
Where the blushing plums are turning
All their red checks to the sky.
Sitting there within the sunshine
Leaning in her easy chair;
With the soft lines upon her forehead,
And the silver in her hair
Blind to sunshine-dead to fragrance-
On that royal harvest morn
Thinking while her heart is wecniu0.

An old schoolmaster said one day to a
minister who had come to examine his
school
"a believe the children know the Cat
echism word for word"
"But do they understand it? that is the
question" said the minister.
The Schoolmaster only bowed respect
fully, and the examination began,
a little boy had repeated the fifth
commandment. "EIonor thy father and
thy mother" and he was desired to OK
plain it,
Instead Of trying to do SO, the little boy,
with his face covered with bushes, said,
almost in a whisper

cut my feet, and the gentlemen saw they
wcrc bleeding, and they gave me some

One OF the editors Of the Nash vile
Banner has lately received q letter from
an accomplished and observant lady, re-
siding in the Federal capital. which gives
some necessarily brief, but highly sug-
gestive. glimpses of matters In that quar-
ter. The Banner says: s..ssa.
Suffice the reader that it came by no
dag OF truce. but worked its wa across
the country through the enemy's lines.
The tone of the letter. it will be remarked.
Is As though written by sincere sympa-
thizer of the Lincoln Government When
We inform the reader that the writer is a
South CarolInian, perhaps he bitterest of
the bitter IN. her hostility to the despotsm
under which circumstances force her to
! live, her irony will add another relish to
the facts she communicates OF the block
ade she saws:
:" What vile creatures YOU rebels are

sell our old family horse for want of fod
der !! Think of it. But. seriously. some
times We are sorely off for provisions
The army il so large, and our soldiers
/ eat SO ravenuusly."
We come next to an allusion to the
state Of mind which exists among the cit
liens of the city. 1t bears US out in our
estimate:
. Would you believe it? this place
swarms with secessionsts. We see them
every where. The wretches are continu
ally rubbing against our elbows in the
streets and in doors. In Georgetown 1t
is still worse. There they say they are
open mouthed If that despicable man,
Beauregarj. we're to arrive here to- night,
do believe there would be many persons
glad TO see him.
In continuation of the same point. we
have the following of the ladies of the
city:
Il really think it outrageous that we
women are not permitted TO say what we
please. 1t provokes a desire in me some
times to talk secession myself But that

Among other things, our correspondent
says that 1.-the President looks very care
worn, haggard and pale" She also de.
clares that things cannot GO on as they
now are much longer; we are all getting
tagged out" In conclusion, we are as
sured that 1.-the crisis has very nearly
reached its head. and the ball must ex-
