One by one, they are passing away.

With reverence, fashion the pillow of clay,
And heap the earth on the weary breast,
That pillow is soft to the time worn head,
That load is light to the aged dead
They have borne their burden of sin and care,
They have had their pleasures, and tolls and
pains,
Known joy, and sorrow,-felt hope and fear,
They have wept their tears, they have gained

And leave them there, to their long repose.
Speak of then gently; remembering we'll,
They were children of earth, as are now;
They strOve with temptation,-they yielded and
And anon they conquered-as we still do;
Their history IS what ours shall be;
Speak of them, think of them tepderly. ..
But few remain, and when they are gone,
We shall fill the places which they now hold.
Our heads will be frosted, our bosoms lone
We shall feel that we growing old,
And the faltering step, and the failing heart
Will remind us, that we, too, must soon depart.
They will soon all be gore Let us tend them
with loye,
As into the valley of Death they glide
Let us point them with faith, to the fair homes
above,
And consign them with hope. to their still, pale
guide.
Let soothe their parting and brighten their bier
With the voice of prayer, and with words Of cheer.
And when the burdens, and heat of our day,

And the shadow of Death behind US is creeping,

The Springfield Regttr contains the
following:
On the Thursday night following the
battle Ct Fredericksb sburg and the retreat
of Burnsides army from that city, two
New York regiments were sent out on
pickets duty IN front. When tn Sc regi-
ments returned on the morning Of Friday
a squad OF the men went to the adlutaat :
tent of one OF those regiments, and III the
presence of the colonel and other officers
stated that they had on that morning, just
before leaving their positions i'll front, re-
ceived proposition from a rebel officer to
end this war. lie hailed them, and asked
-. if they were Eot about tired of this
damned quarrel. IF they were, he had a
proposition to make" He then said
:. If YOU Yankees will go north and bring
down Sumner, Wendell Phillips Greeley,
Beecher and other leaders of that stamp,
we will 20 to Richmond, seize JEFF Davis
and his wretched crew and bring them
here We will then erect gallows Oh
each side Of the Kappahannock, and on a
given signal hang them all at the same
time, then We will wade to the middle of
the river, meet you. shake hands, bury
the hatchet, and every man go home about
his business, never TO be drawn into a

PARsoS BRowNLow HEARD FROM-A long
letter from Parson Brownlow, dated Nash
vile, March 6, among other Things says:
-. told the people of the north in my
speeches, as thousands Of them will recol.
lect what now repeat-that is to say, one
half of all the slaves in the seeded States
will fight for their owners, and fight to
perpetuate their own bondage. let the
blind zealots and negromaniacs to whom
this was told secuted the idea and de-
nounced every man who uttered it as Il
proslaveryite and traitor. Even now, when
current history has vindcated its truth,
the maniacs persist in making show OF
their unbelief But there is nothing which
tie history OF this war will more fully and
forcibly demonstrate than the fact, known
to wise men before the war began, that the
slaves are not anxious for freedom.

Important Correspondence.

We give in another par. of to-day S
paper an interesting correspondence be-
tween Chief Justice CAToS and the Hon.
JOHN T. STUART, On the policy of the demo
cratic party. There are no names on the
democratic roll of the state that bear more
their grave and solemn counsels to the
thoughtful consideration Of our readers of
all parties

The Secret League.

We have received during the week two
letters assailing us in the most vituperativs
language, ana even indulsing in threats,
for the remarks we have made in reference
to secret political societies in our midst
One Of the letters we decline to publish,
being anonymous; the other we wlthhoio
from our readers not only by request, but
because we have too much respect Tor the
author to exhibit him before the public IN
the light of such a letter.
We are at loss to account for the
frotbins passion into which SO many good
people are thrown by our allusion to the
S. B. Society Both the writer's we have
alluded to stoutly deny, not only all con-
nection with, but all knowledge of the ex-
istaace of an S. B. Society in Ottawa.
Very we'll How then dare they overwhelm
US with filthy cpithets for mentioning sup
posed revelations in reference to the >. Is.
If these gentlemen know nothing aboutIt,
they should have the decency to hold
their tongues. They are clearly, by their
own confession, not in a position to con-
tradict us.
As to the - Union League" to which
they confess they belong, we are willing to
take their statement that it has no con-
nection with the S. B., although a proml-
nent member of the League told us not
to be too sure of that" But on another
point we cannot be SO complaisant. Our
correspondent says, we ought to know that
ait is not a political organization yet
nearly in the same sentence he says it was
organized ito oppose traitors and support
the Government" Webster says "politi-
cal' means public pertaining to the
government" To say that a society to
Support the government" then, is not
political is arrant nonsense Perhaps,
however, our correspondent only means
that it disclaims having anything to do
with party politics: that is, it is open to
democrats or republicans to join. SO is
the Democratic Club. We are glad to ad-
nit into It's membership anv republican
who will pledge himself to suppo:, deno>
cratic principles.
But tcuts no figure whether this League
is democratic or republicn club, or
neither Our objection is to all secret
political societies. They are anti-repubii-
can, contrary to the genius of free institu-
tions, and dangerous. IF their object is
good, let them proclaim it that all good
men many join them in its attainment II,
as they profess, they ask nothing of their
members beyond pledge to support the
Constitution and the Union, and the gov
ernment in putting down traitors to both
we have proposition to make: Come out
and publish your object and your mutual
pledge in manly way; and add 10 it
another pied &C. that if drafted, you will go
into the army in person and not claim an
exemption in lied OF $500, and we will not
only join your society, but defend it through
thick and thin.
