WASHINGTON, Dec, a. 1900.
DEAR SIR: Though our informa-
ton of the votes of the several States be not
official, yet they are stated on such evidence as
to satisfy both parties that the Republican 0ots
has been successful The Constitution, to
which we are all attached, was meant to be
Republicans according TO eUery candid InteTprsta-
ton. Yet, we have seen it so interpreted and
administered as to be truly what the Ere nch
called it, a nsoaGTchie meSque. Yet SO long has
the vine run on this way, and been trimmed
to it that to put her on her Republican track
will require all the skill, the hrmness, and the
ZEAL OF her ablest and bsst friends. 1t Is
crisis which calls on them TO sacrifice all other
objects, and repair to her aid in this moment
Gus operation Not only their skill is want
ing bat their names also. 1t is essential to
assemble, in the outset persons to compose
our Administration, whose talents, integrity
and revolutionary name and principles, may
inspire the nation at once with unbounded
maLignerS of RepuJticaaiSm; as may suppress
in embryo the purpose avowed by one OF their
most daring chiefs, OF beating down the Ad-
ministrati0n. x This is a common cause
mig dear sir, to all Republicans. ~" Come
forward, then, my dear sir. and give us the aid
of your talents aud the weight of your charac-
ter towards the ne'o establishment of Republic
ahiSm; l say for its new establishment; for
hitherto we have seen only its trGVeStie.

Just at evening we left in our palanquin
As darkness drew on one of the men lighted a
torch, which he fed with oil from little can.
His flashing light made the strange men look

Ualaaquins halted on the veranda Of the mis-.

by kind friends and were at last home.

Der of rebels he has killed, by cutting a
mark upon the but Of his rife The rebels
keep an accurate account, no doubt Berdan,s

had got to know them by sight. They were

For who can the mystery comprehend
How, why, whence and wherefore their eyrie,
Why some are as mild as the sweet Turtle Dove
And others SO Oulish and fiery,
They're letting the vulture predominant now
Down South where the cannons are roaring,
Anon the sweet Dove with her message of love,
To the National Fame will be soaring,
And the eagle will fly from her haunt in the sky,
To embIazon our Flag with his war-daring eye
Then J&clldaws unpuined aad Vultures entornbed,
Will admit of a freedom Of souls by and BY

From friendships rich storehouse of treasures
Some birdy of thought from this weird forest
caught,
Whose presence, enhancing her pleasures
Would tenderly bring meath it's sheltering wing
Street nteoraes back like the Black bird of sprin
When mournfully, tendery Weakened strain,
The mourning doves note, pathetic refrain,
listening caught the chill message, dear Sue
1t was singing dirge of decay and of you,
And then ere those pensive strains died on my ear
High up in the blue sky carol rung clear.
The song Of the skylark was of Heaven and bliss,
AS it neared the gold edge of a cloud for kiss,
And Hope the Canary engaged in my SOUL
Burst the bars of its prison and few,
Singing freely and cheerily all the day long,
OF Happiness, Heaven and you.
Do the bluebirds Of thot nestle still in your heart
Those cynosure CLEANS of the spring time of life,
AS time gently leads you toward the unknown,
That blssful repose beyond turmoils and strife !?
o, springtime was rife with the carol of birds,
And enraptured our hearts sung the songs with

And nor wheresoevsr our footsteps may stray,
Those carols glide in with the songs of to-day,
And we would not forego the sweet pleasures they
bring,
In changing our summer.lifs back TO its spring,
For ali the aurements and honors aud Joys
That hide with their sheen the deceit and alloys.
Thus out in the clear Silly air of tonight,
MY birdy is winging to you,
And open the lattice that he may repose
In Il heart that's gentle and true,
He tells you for me of another retreat
Where the soul when uniettered repairs,
Where ties once discovered and broken may meet
Where songs half completed the angels repeat,
And hearts are bereft of their cares.

HALF THE CONFEDERATE NAVY.


The Sumter, sir, which comprises one-half the
| Confederate navy, is cOrked up in Gibralter,
with deserted crew, watched by the TugcGrora,
and out of the reach of again being ordered away
by our Foreign Office. The Sumter can n more
burn innocent merchantmen, and rob peaceful
traders two of her officers are already on the
way to the American coast in Federal war
ship, to receive the just punishment of an out
ragged power.
Another part of the pirate navy has just ar
rived at Wilmington, by express order of the
Confederate Cabinet, no have their trunks
all packed, and have stolen all the money they
could lay their hands on, preparatory to taking
their chances of escaping in the Nashville from
the doom that awaits them. The order to burn
the cotton and tobacco, is under the mistaken
idea that it would involve England in the com
mon ruin with themselves.
CONFEDERATE SECURITIES.
Bear ia mind, gentlemen that this cotton and
tobacco is solemnly pledged for the redemption
of the Confede rate paper and the Confederate
loan, and now the Confederate Cabinet have
got all the money they can sponge out Of their
deceived subjects-they solemnly order them to
destroy the securities On which the loan was
made
And all this to deceive England, or rather to
frighten England by threat-the very last
thing of all others-sO history states, that would
bring this remarkable people to book You
should know the crops destroyed and the cities
burned are not by their owners, but by the mis-
cradle ritfraf las one speaker beautifully remark
ed, who represent the dead level of humanity,
standing on the zero Of civilization, or wallow-
ing in the mire of their own heastly sensuality,
instead of floating on the wings of virtuous
Imagination, or poised on the pinions of patri-
otto intelligence.
Gen. Banks movement on Winchester is on
ly a feint to allow Mcclellan to push on to Fred
ericksburgh, and the nature of conflict that
mail or two will announce may be estimated by
the Commander.in-C chief having ordered fifteen
ambulances to bear away the wound

spring has arrived-the month and the hour
that call loudly for victory Two thousand years
hence the Ides of March will be associated with
the history of the Potomac. The beautifui lines
Of Bayard Taylor are in my memory

Shout like storm on hills of piue,
Till ramrods ring and bayonets shine

DEAR SIR: My great anxiety at present is
to avail ourselves of our ascsndancy to estab-
lish good principles and good practices; to
fortfy Republicanisns behind as many bsrriers
as possible, that the outworks may give time
to rally and save the citadel should that be
again in danger. On their part, they haze re-
tired into the Judtciaisy as a stronghold. There
acIere Mcremoins of Federalism are to be preserU-
and fed from the Treasury, and from ihat bat
tcry all the ,o0rks Of RcpuJttcanism are to be
beaten dozen and erased. BY fraudulent use
of the Constitution, which has made judges IT.
removable, they have multiplied useless judges
merely to strengthen their phalanx.
