THE GOLDEN YEAR.

We sleep and wake and sleep, but all Things move
The sun flies forward to his brother sun
The dark earth follows wheeled in her ellipsei
And human things returning on themselves
Move onward leading up the golden year.
All. though the times when some new thought can
bud
Vet seas that daily gain upon the shore
Have abb and flow conditioning their march,
And slow and sure comes up the golden year.
When wealth more shall rest in mounded be caps
But smit with freer light shall slowly melt
In many streams to fdtten lower lands,
And light shall spread, and man be liker man
Through all the season of the golden year.
Shall eagles not be eagles wrens be wrens? -
If all the world be falcons, what of that
The wonder of the eagle the less,
But he not less the eagle. Happy days
Roll onward leading up the golden year.
Fly, happy, happy sails, and bear the Press,
Fly happy with the mission of the Gross:
Knit land to land and blowing heavenward,
With silks, and fruits, and spices, clear of toll,
Enrich the markets of the golden year
But we grow old. All when shall all mems good
Be each mans rule, and universal peace
Lie like shaft of light across the land,
And like lane of beams athwart the sea,
Through all the circle of the golden year?
-Ttnmy8oh.

Negroes as Soldiers.

We learn incidentally from Rev. Mans
field French, just arrived from Port ROYAL,
and from the official report of Gen. Sax
con, that the work of organizing negro
regiments in South Carolina is going sue
cesstully on. Nearly all recently escaped
slaves manifest willingness to enlist
Their fighting qualities have lately been
tested in an expedition down the coast to
Florida; consisting Of steamer and about
one hundred black soldiers, who landed at
dozen different places on the mainland,
capturing large quantities of salt and de-
stroylDg the works where it was made.
They were attacked three different times
by rebel Notwithstanding in force from
fifty to one hundred men-ana in every
case the rebels were repulsed with decid
ed loss, many being captured, and only
three negroes receiving wounds The
courage and frmness displayed by the
black soldiers was such as to produce un-
qualified admiration in their friends, and
excite the greatest CONSERVATION among
their enemies. A large number OF slaves
were received and brought away.
The anticipated return of Gen. Hunter
to the Department of the South is a source
of joy to the army and great alarm 20 the
enemy.
Late advices from Kansas give details of
an engagement in the Marais du Cygne
Valley, near the Missouri border, between
a company of negro troops and band of
guerrilas, resulting in the complete sue
cess of of the former. In this case as the
other, the negroes showed heroism and
even enthusiasm in this new vocation that
elected universal praise. Their (white)
officers have the utmost confidence in
their military capacity, and it is likely
that these instances will be the key to new
developments which will exert a momen-
tous Influence on the conduct of the war

The Proof.
From the Missouri Democrat

Leading Democrats claimed, throughout
the canvass preceding the late elections,
that they were in favor of vigorous
prosecution of the war-as much so as any,
body. Their triamph, they were by no
meats willing to admit, would be an anti
war triumph. According to their talk,
about the only difference between them
ard the Republicans, would be inferred to
De, that they stayed at home to vote for
the war, while the latter had gone away
from home to fight in the war.
Ii the Democrats are such strong war
men, how are We to account for the re-
cent mobs in Wisconsin in resistance to
tie draft Milwaukee gave 1920 Demo-
cratic majority at the recent election, yet
there Is where the first outbreak took
place. Ozaukee is a place of the same
political complexion. Washington county
the same. All these places have been the
theatres OF open rebellion against the
draft, accompanied with demonstrations
of the most outrageously violent charac-
ter In Republican localities in the same
State the draft was peaceably made. If
the Democracy are in favor of a vigorous
prosecution of the war, they certainly
have singular mode of exhibiting their
zeal ID certain localities.

The 29TH REGIMENT.-A correspondent
Of the Watertown Democrat writing on
the 7th from the Goth Regiment, states
that they were eneamped on the Mississippi
pi opposite Helena. They had named it
q" Camp Salomon," in honor of the Cover
nor. Capt. MOTT had been ill but was
better. foragiDg party had been out
and just brought 10 six mules, eight mig
gers, besides abundance of corn, bacon,
sc. The writer adds:
ain of the opinion that taking more
negroes into camp than can be worked to
advantage, is no help to the army, except
as it dminishes the strength and resources
OF the Confederate States, which is an
important consideration. A general eman-
clpatlon Is the bloW-one that will tell the
story Of peace to generations yet unborn.
Let the negro take care of himself. and
the planter do the same. The relation
slavery now sustains to the government is
that Of political and military power in
the hands of the Slave States, and an eff
fective and reliable element Of strength for
the support of the Rebellion. Knock out
the p.op,and the structure it supports will
speedily tall.

1t Is known at Richmond almost as

Especial to the New York Times
WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. II.
Inasmuch as the news has reached the
public from Richmond, we suppose there
can be no objection to the loyal popula-
ton of the North knowing from this point
that the Army of the Potomac is to be
provided with a new " base" in its ap-
proach to Richmond. ALI its corps are
now, and have been for two days, on the
march down the valley of the Rappahan-
mock, towards Frederlcksburgh, from
which place it is proposed now to conduct
that pilgrimage toward the Jerusalem of
our crusade, which our enbattled hosts
have so long pursued by other and devi.
Gus and retrogade ways.
That Fredericksburgh-accessible as it
is to supplies by water, and furnishing, as
it Goes, shorter and better road to Rich
nond than any other point-possess un.
usual advantages as a base of operations
against Richmond, is so apparent that we
are compelled to wonder why it was not
originally chosen.
TIE CHANGE KNOWN IN RICHMOND
10 stop the LEAKS OF lnIellgence IN the
Administrative vessel seem hopeless task.
Not day passes but some important Sc,
cret of the G ,vernment, guarded with
savage jealousy against inquisitive loyalty,
comes to u from Richmond or its agents.
The latest was the news of the proposed
change of base in the operations of the
Army Of the Potomac. 1t was fully de-
termineti upon on Thursday night after
the visit of Gen. Halleck to the headquar
tiers OF Gen Burnside; and on Saturday
night we learned, 0ia Baltimore, of the
quakirg apprehension which this decision
had inspired in the minds of the citizens
OF Richmond! This was twelve hours
before the army lad struck its tents and
commenced its new movement
Incidents like this show that the fatal
detects in the ADM nistration of our War
Department, so long deplored, are still in
existence and whether they result from
treachery Or imbecility-tLe revelations of
official spies or the babbliDgs of seDiity-
must be cured it we are in earnest in our
work.
