DTThe Richmond Examiner Of tie 7th has
the following paragraph. If the statement is
correct the conduct Of our own authorities is as
censurable as that of the Yankees;
On Tuesday several thousand OF our ex-
changed prisoners were landed at Varina, on
James river, fifteen miles below this city. Here
they were directed in general terms to come to
Richmond, without OT6ers where 20 report, or to
whom to apply for food and lodging. Ia conse-
quenee Of this neglect the greater number of
them are now lying about the city without money
and without food. We heard, yesterday, that to
escape the horrors of starvation they had Deen
advised to repair to Relle Isle and occupy the
evacuated quarters Of The Yankees, and to sub
sist on Their leaYings. Is this a fitting welcome
for men who perilled their lives and suffered The
horrors of NorsheEa dungeons Tor their eountry's
eagse1 Private charity las done much to relieve
the necessities of these returned soldiers, but
this does not exonerais the authorities from the
charge of dereletiOn of duty in not making for
them a proper provision.

Of thirty dollars is usually offered for their ap,
prehenslon, which, we are informed, is subse-
quently deducted from their pay. Some stray

entertained that there are cases in which those
who absent themselves are in accord with thoir
captors, to divide the reward. Il is well tina,
they should know the facts in the case.

THE TRUE WIFE.

THE TRUE WIFE;
The death of a true wife is beautifully
drawn in the annexed portrait by Chan
ming :-s' Her reserve and shrinking deli
cacy threw a veil over her beautiful
character. She was little known beyond
her home, but there she silertl5 spread
arotind her that soft; pure light, the pre-
ciousness of which is never fully under
stood till it is quenshed. Hef calh1, geh-
lie wisdom; her sweet humility; her sym
patby, which, though tender, was too
serene to dIsttrb her clear conception,
fitted her to act instinctively. and without
the consciousness of either party; on his
more sanguine, ardent mind. She was
truly spirit of good, diffusing tran
QUILTING influence, mildly to be thought
of, and therefore more sire. The blow
which took her from him left wound
which time could not heal. Had hts
strength been contfnued, Sc that he could
have gone from the house Of n1ouriting
to the haunts of poverty, he would have
escaped for a good part of the day the
scenes of his bereavement. But Il few
minutes walk in the street now sent him
home wearied. There the lowering eye
which had SO long frightened at his en-
trance was to shed its mild beam no more
There the voice that daily inquired into
his labors, and like another conscience
had whispered sweet approval, was
still: There the sympathy which had
pressed with tender hand his aching head,
and by its nursing had postponed the
hour of its exhaustion and disease, had
gone. He was not indeed left alone fol
flial love and reverence spared no sooth-
ing office but these; though felt and
spoken of as most preciouss could not take
the place of what had been removed: This
great loss produced no burst Of grief. /
was still, deep sorrow, the feeling Of {
mighty void, the last burden which ths
spirit cast off. His attachment to lifi
from this moment sensibly declined. Ii
seasons of peculiar sensibility he wished
to be gone. He kept near hihi the like
. ness of his departed friend, and spoke te
me more than once 6f the solace which
he had found in it. He heard 4 toicl
from another world, and his anticipation
Of that worldy always very strong, be
came more rigid and touchingt'

deeply, he stammered and let his voice die

deeply, be stammered and let his toice die
away in silence.
Something in the look he gave her, in
the attitude he took, told the Soman's S
heart his love. This lonely boy in his
orphanhood suddenly brought, for the
first time, into familiar intercourse with
a beautiful girl, loved her with the pas
sionate ardor of first love, intensified by
his previous life Touched with feel
ing of pity, Luly arose and came to his
side;
I'VE are both very young, Mr.: Carleton;
and it is better that we should be free for
some years at least. l will speak frank
ly. l do not love you'll The ghastly
whiteness of his face almost frightened
her; but she vas acting noble; true
part, aid she continued, I will not tri-
tle with you; and when you have met
others with tuors power to win your love
than possess; you will thank me for it.
Let us part as good friends. and; believe
me, you will carry my most earnest wish
es for yoar speedy recovery and happi-
ness
'Stay-one moment he gasped, catch
ing her hand; you love no one else?'
No one! have just left school; ]
scarcely know what love means,' she said,
blushihg:
'Then, he said, earnestly, will you lei
the engagement stand as it is for one year:
l shall then return; and, trdst me if yon
Still feel as you do now, no word of mine
shall again urge you to alter your deci-
sion: We are, as you say, young, and
two weeks is but short time to make a
decision which effects whole life time
Let me write to you, as friend only il
you desire it, and perhaps in year.
He raised his eyes again With plead
ing, almost childhke look, which moved
her deeply. His love conquered his shy
manner. and the hope Of his wholg heart
was fhirrored In his large dark eyes.
| BE it so,' she said, gently. I will
answer yotr letters, and in a year we
shall meet again. Only she said, earn
estly, If my heart remains untouched
you must acquit me of any charge of co.

He raised her hand to his lips.

From the N. Y. Tribune.
RHE BANNER:

Unfold thy hues, o banner bright
Let every star be seen,
For where the stripes in blood are drawn,
In tShlte, are stripes between:
Well teach the world what Freedom means
Where'er the stars are sent;
Each Rebel, too, will soon be taught
That both the stripes are meant:
Thy red shall float o'er battle field,
To cheer the true and brave;
And brightly glow, while dropping low,
Above the warriors grave.
Thy emblem white, SO purely bright,
Outfoating to the breeze;
A spotless type of Peace for all,
Upon the land and seas.
So; when the weary Soldier falls,
In battle for the free,
May his last thought be of his God;
Beneath the folds Of thee!
