The Boston Courier urges that, upon our
theory that Secession was originally condemned
and opposed by majority of tho Southern
People the Republican party ought to have
done its best to keep that majority from plung-
ing into the abyss Of crime and misery which
the original traitors wore preparing for the
entire South. 10 which We respond. They did.
President Lincoln's' Inaugural was full, clear,
authentic message of peace from the loyal
States in reiutation of the frauds and falsehoods
of tho traitors. 1t could hardly have been
more explicit in statement on the vital points
involved; kinder in tone it could not have been.

A dispatch from Washington saws th.t

A dispatch from Washington says that A.
order Of Gen. Hunter, emancipatinc tho sl.,.,
within tho limits of his command, was mad.
without the Knowledge of tue Presiasot
Gen. Hunter is known to be moderate man AZ
rather conservative tendencies; it is to be n,.-
sumed, nevertheless, that he has not acted with.
ont good and sufficient reasons which. in hi.
judgment, made such measure expedion.
and imperative. We doubt very much
if the President will be in tho least
moved by the clamors of tho PRO.
Slavery men about him, even if it be true
that he was unprepared for the step taken b,
Gen. Hunter. If We may judge from bis past
course on all important questions, be keeps
bis own counsel and never acts hastilr
and he will in this matter take tina
enough to learn the exgencies Of the case, and
act at last as his own matured judgment shall
direct. Should be sustain Hunter, the country
is sure TO sustain him. Even those who might
under other circumstances, doubt the expediency
of q general Emancipation. will acknowledge
that the arming Of the slaves by the Rebei
would justify such measure as is resorted t
BY Gen. Hunter, or that armiog them on our
part may, in that deadly climate, be necessary
for the preservation of our own troops. And
it may be an act Of mercy to declare that al

BY JAMES C. PERCIyAL.
There are moments in life which never forgot,
Which brighten aud brighten time slips away,
They give d new charm to the happiest lot,
And they shine on the gloom OF the loneest day,
These moments are hallowed by smiles and by tears,
The first look of love and the last parting given;
As the sun, in the dawn of his glory appears,
And the cloud weeps and glows with the rainbow L
heaven.
There are hours, there minutes, which memoir
brings
Like blossoms Of Eden, to Irvine round the heart,
And as time rushes by the Nigh of his wings,
They may ia ken awhile, but they never depart,
Oh these na!Owsd remembraDces cannot decay,
But they come the soul with a magical thrill,
And in da that dan kes they kindly i'll stay,
And the heart,ln its last throb will beat with them still
They come, like the dawn in its lovelineEs, now,
The same looy Of beauty that shot to my soul,
The SHOWS OF tie mountain bleached on her brow,
And her eyes in the blue of The ornament roll
The roses are dim by her cheeks living bloom,
And her coral lips part ike the opening Of flowers;
She moves throug,I the air in a cloud of perfume,
Like the wind from the blossoms OF jessamne bowers
From her eyes melting azure there sparkles flame
d. That klhdled my young brood t. ecStdSy's glow,
She Speaks nd the tones OF her voice the same
As would once, like the wind harp, in melody How
THAI tOucn, as hsI hand meets and mnges with NINE,

Twas gent TOR earth too supremacy divine,
And while life lasts, its sweetness will cling to me still

That flows from the fountain of science above,
On the beauties of thought would silently DWELL
Till We looked, though Ia king of love
We parted-the tear gistened bright in her eye,
And her melting hand shoe as / Opped il forever

GEN. MAGRUDER.-Some persons are
fearful that Gen. Magruder who will soon
assume command of this Department, is
incapacitated for energetic attention to the
business by reason of drunkenness. How
Gen. Magruder has acquired the reputation
of being hard drinker, we do not know,
but we have it from very good authority,
that for more than year there has not been
u more abstemious man in the army than he.
The story goes that after the battle Of Big
Bethel he being then but Colonel, and his
regiment not being full, some companies of
young Virginians were about to be assign
ed to him, whereupon the parents Of these
men drew up remonstrance against their
sons being entrusted TO the command Of a
drunkard, and sent it to the President.
The President sent it TO Gen. Magruder,
and from that day to this he has not drank
an intoxicating draught.
This comes from persons who profess to
know him intimately. If true, it speaks
volumes for his bead and heart.
1t is very certain there is no more thor
ough military man in the army; and we
expect much from his vigilance and activi-
ty when he assumes command.
Ii is stated that among other things. he
will add to our effective defences SIX full
batteries Of field artillery and some twenty
or thirty Thousand stand Of arms.-Tele-
