Republican OfRciaI on the Ne

Colonel Gibson, of the 10Th Ohio, recen-
lily wrote letter from Tennessee, which is
attracting some notice in the west Col.
Gibson will be recollected as the republican
successor to Breslin as state treasurer of
Ohio. He writes thus about the condition
OF the slaves as observed by himself;
10 this region every one owns one or
more slaves. Here as elsewhere where I
have been the slaves are well treated and
we'll provided for. They appear happier
and certainly live and dress better than
the poor whites or free niggers of Ohio or
the north. They all supposed we were
about 90 liberate them. This lie bad been
trumpted in the south, and hundreds Of
honest people. aside from slaves, believed
it. But the negro here instinctively breads
the north. They love the south, and are
devoted to their masters.
81 have witnessed some touching scenes
between e1iled masters, returned to their
homes, and their faithful slaves. II is
strange how few try to escape or ruD away,
l doubt it twenty has come to the army Wit
which l have been connected since last
September.
About the farm houses and in the city
the white children and black play togathe-
like brothers and sisters. Ii is nv DELHI
crate opinion that, in their presence state
OF ignorance the slaves rattle. fear than de
sire emancipation. They only regard their
sppettes and comforts. They are well
housed, we'll dressed, and well fed. They
appear to want 60 more. These facts con-
Stitute no excuse for slavery, but mention
them as tending to show that statesmen
had better let the niger alone at present,
and address themselves 10 suppressiug this
great rebellion.

III fold my arms to ponder
On the old, old home.
The heart has many passages
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle way is sacred
To the old, old home
Where infancy was sheltered,
Like rosebuds from the blast;
Where boyhood's brief elysium
In joyousness was passed.
To that sweet spot forever,
As that hAllowed come,
Lies pilgrim bends his vision-
It's his old; old home.
A father sat. how proudly,
By that old hearthstone's rays,
And told his children stories
OF his early manhood's days;
And one soft eye was beaming-
Prom child to child 'twould roam
Thus a mother counts her treasures
In the old, old home.

The blended vespcr hymn

Is with the seraphi my,
The "good nights at bed time
How quiet sleep would come,
And b old us all together,
In the old, old home.

Close intertwined each heart,
But time and change in concert
Have blown the wreath apart.
Yet all those ssinted memories,
Like angels ever come,

On the old, old home.
