With me, TO argue. declaim, or inveigh.

the most useless breath that indolent tri-

Such language sounds strangely from
the lips of Member of Congress-we rub
I our speetacles to see that there is no mis-
take-that this is really the utterance Of q
politician, and not of some old Christian
martyr. some wild fanatic lodging rotten
eggs and brickbats as he blurts out the in
cendiary suggestion, that no man has q
fright to horsewbip and sell anotber's
blameless wife and children. But such
sentiments are contsgious--they readily
infect the minds of weak young persons.

demonstration. that it is generally wrong

increase in the number and boldness Of the

Rumors and even positive statements Of

for months. but no authentic declaration

gratifying Indication of the distrust felt
throughout the State. not only as to the
strength bnt the character of the disloyal
combination which is trying to steal the
name Of Democracy to serve Treason in
Mr.. Hopkins does not lack ambition. for
he has been candidate for nomination
more than once. and his refusal of place
so we'll suited to his tastes and abilities
proves either that he has no con6deHcs in
the power Of the Bright party to elect say-
body, or that he is disguised with It's dis
loral utterances aud attitude. We believe
it proves both, for we have never heard
anything of Mr. Hopkins impeaching in
the least his cordial devotion to the cause
of Government against treason, and we
hare heard good deal Of the failure of the
Bright convention to impose itself on the
Democratic party. Whatever may be Mr.

But joyful notes of Victory.
Have wakened her once more:
So please accept the song she sings,
Which here enclosed send,

Presented By their friend.
To the wounded Soldiers Returned on
Furloushs after the Battle of Pittsburg.
Not scathless ye come from the.red battle field,
Which our brave boys compelled the proud reb-

Not scathless ye come from the red field of war.
And we honor The wounds. youthful heroes, ye
bear. a
In peaceful pursuits life's fair morning ye spent,
And to tread peaceful paths were ye only intent.
But wicked rebellion forbade quiet joys.
And transformed into heroes our true hearted

Armed host to do battle 'gainst traitorous foes,
And nobly ye fought till the foemen did yield
AT DoneIson's fort and on Pittsburgh's dread

We welcome you, heroes, SC loyal and brave,
Who left happy homes our blest Union to save;
When again to the battle field Victory be thine.
And with garlands unfading your brows well

craft to sneak in and out along the shadows
and winding channels were the large shiTs can
not follow them. What Mr.. Gregory does not
allege, and cannot allege, is that the Federal

deny the colossal scale, the muAyarious plan, and
The exhaustive energy of its operations Together
with expeditions by sea, by river and by land,
and detences in proportion, it has found means

vent cotton from reaching these shores, and any

from essaying and enteranoe there. The block
AIDE may not be Theoretically perfect but. though
the blockading ships do not cross their fires, or
give notice to each particular vessel that appears,
yet there is quite enough TO deter some very
courageous gentlemen from pushing their way
in. Among u multitude of cases, Mr.. Ward,
who found his way into Peken when nobody
else could get there, is still on this side of the
Atlantic, and would be much obliged TO MIR.
Gregory to land him safe in a quiet part of
Georgia. Mr. Yancoy, with a little society Of
Southern gentlemen, is at Havana, waiting for
an oppostunity. Others are now IN Mexico,
preparing to brave fever and the Indians, SO as
they may find themselves once more with their
families and estates, There are people in this
country, in this city, who have not heard from
their near relatives in the Southern States for
halt year, and who would give almost any
Gum for one interchange of letters. Is this a
blockade or not? Is the Federal Government
doing the best it can? Is it acting not for the
honest prosecution of tne war, but for the in
convenience Of neulrals ? The real grievance as
that the thing is done too thoroughly, Z. and Mr..
Gregory 10ishes England TO abate the nuisance
By declaring that 1t is not done at all.

not the vandals they supposed thew were, now
cheerfully and industriously endeayor to turn
an honest penny. The retail groceries are do

latter article Of which is {. perfect godsend to
the sick in the hospitals. Our boys, however,
confne themselves to the suffers, and know that
though they may be cheated, cannot be so out
rageously gouged as they are in the Nashville
stores. An intelligent wholesale merchant,
though u" Southern rights - man, (please tell
me the difference between Southern rights and
secession,) told me a day or two since, in speak
ing of the manufacturing interests OF the city,
that few cnterprisng Yankees would at once
throw new lille and power into commerce and
trade. A large number OF manufacturing es.
Establishments lie idle, their machinery and ma
serial having been destroyed by rebels" mil
tary necessity" as they say, but Heaven save
the country from such military necessities. In
going around the city one sees many evidences
OF rebellion in the half finished ambulances,
litters, cannon-carriages, and other articles OF
war nature-ior, ne 1t known. Nashville was
the head and front of the offending in this cuse
The clumsy attempt of ingenuity by the negro
mechanic must be controlled by the master hand
of the Northern " mud-slls,' and though they
say they can do without us, their very words
belle them, for even now they desire Northern
mechanics 10 extricate, them from their difficult
ties. These things will, however, change, and
we shall yet see them subsist by the labor of
their own hands.
The ladies, with the bright sunshine, have
come out once more, and silks and satins rustic
