Bury me In a Free Land.

ny FRANCIS ELLEN WATKINS.
Make me n grave whore e'er you will,
Ina lonely plain or a lofty hill;
Mako itamongst carth's hnmhlcst graves,
But not in land where men arc slaves.
I could not rest, II around my grave
1hc1rd the steps Of trembling slave,
Ills shadow above my silent tomb
Would make 1t place of fearful gloom.
I could not sleep, II heard the tread
OF cotlle gang to the shamblos led;
And the mothers shrirk Of wild despair
Rise like a curse, on the trembling air.
could not rest if saw the lash
Drinking hor blood at each fearful cash;
And saw her babe torn from her breast,
Like u trembling dove from the parent nest.
I'd shudder and start If heard tho bay
OF n bloodhound selling his human prey;
And heard the captive plead in vain,
As they bound afresh his calling chain.
IfIsaw young girls from their mothers arms,
Bartered and sold for their youthful charms,
MY eye would flash with mOurnful flame,
My death-paled cheek grow rcd with shame.
would sleep, dear friend, whore blottcd might
Can rob no man of his dearest right,
My rest shall he calm in any grave
Where none call his brother,a slave.
ask no monument, proud and high,
To arrest the gaze of the passcrs by;
All that my yeHrning spirit graves,
Is, bury me not in land Of slaves.

NEGRO SoLDlERs.-A correspondent from
New Orleans, writing the Sth of April, has
the following
The raising of colored regiments goes on
rapidly. The 9Th has already over 900 men
recruited within a fortnight. A revolution is
going onin the prejudice againstnegro soldiers.

learned to respect them, and the only fear now
is that unworthy men shall be put in COM
mand. Sergeants and corporals of all sorts
are given commissions. Give them good of.
fcers, and l am satisfied, after having seer
these regiments in camp and on drill, that they
will make as good as the best The lack OF
confidence in their courage is a natural error
arising from the idea, that, as they have al.
ways been taught to stand in awe of white
men, they will not dare face them in battle
They require the best of officers, and witt
such they will do their dnty. At all events

The demonstration on the arrival of the
returned New York regiments in that city, on
Tuesday, is said to have been very enthusias-
tic. The Tribune says -
''Y esterday was the most heroic day which
New York has witnessed since twenty-five
thousand troops marched up Broadway upon
the close of the war with Great Britain in
1915. We welcomed home yesterday two of
the regiments which saved the honor of our

classic, Cesarean war-but modern conflict.
where all the ingenuity which abolishes time
and distance is involved-where a shot
Kills as surely at a mile assat a yard, and
the enemy is felt up to death before he is
seen. 1t was impossible for the greatest dew
otee OF the nal Gdmirart doctrine not to be
stirred to the innermost fiber OF his heart, in
witnessing the simple and sublime march of
these men up Broadway. They were as Sc
we're IN their outside gear as Diogenes in his
tuo' 1helr clothes matched their faces They
pore the marks OF exposure, service, conflict.
NO monday cOlors were theirs. Their flags
were not only dimmed in brightness but rent
Or torn to shreds. All was the symbol of cf
fort, courage, achievement-of manhood in
The scenes in the street, as the returned
soldiers were recognized by friends and rela-
tlves, were touching in the extreme -
"Here an anxious mother discovered her
son, and breaking from the crowd, needless of
the police, clasped him to her arms, and well
coined him home with kisses of affection.
Wives approached their husbands and march
ed with them through the dust, with hearts as
light as If they were bound for the bridal al
tar. Some of the soldiers took their children
in their arms and walked with them through
the streets. A number of neatly dressed
young women of modest demeanor met their
sweethearts, and walked by their sides as
proudly as queens fastening to coronation.
There was one who was reported dead, waving
a rebel flag he had captured on the field;
there was another who had not been heard
from since he left home. The 9TH regiment
was dismissed at the Steuben House, where

what the Rebel Chiefs are After,
The purpose of the chiefs Of the slave
holders rebellion to obliterate every prin.
cipe of democracy. and erect govern
ment wholly absolutist in its nature, in
which all power shall be lodged in few,
finds new combinations with every pass
ing day. The most Insignificant OF the
recent indications of this is the introduc-
ton in the Confederate Congress, and
the general approval by the rebel press,
of bill looking to the repeal Of the natu-
raiization laws. and the exclusion from
the privileges OF citizenship of all per-
sons who were not in the "Confederacy"
at the time its pretended government was
organized.

on this measure, says
"The bill meets With very general an.

the mixture of an inferior with a superb

EDITOR REGISTER: Will you allow me
through the Register to call the attention
of school officers and teachers to that part
of the Excise Law requiring Revenue
Stamps to be affixed to certain legal in

dressed to this Office inquiring whether
teachers certificates. contracts with teach

fixed to them. We find nothing in the
law that rendeas legal instruments issued
by school officers exempt from this tax.
And as much trouble and perhaps ltiga-
ton will be avoided by complying with
the law, we trust that all parties interest
ed win see the rrowirty Of using the re-
quired stamps.
Section IS, of the law provides that
such legal papers issued without stamps,
" shall be deemed invalid and of no eff

of $50, for noncompliance with the law
The stamp should be cancelled by the per-

it the initials OF his name with the day of

The Corcoran aud KimbaiI Affair.
A Suffolk correspondent of the Hart.

tunate affair:

guage, but drew and brandished bis sword
threatening the General if he attem pied
to pass. The General. whose bushes,
was urgent, and seeing no alternative, drew
his revolver and shot Kimball dead. Such
/ believe to be true version Of the affair. y
A private letter from prominent officer
in Corcoran' s brigade. to his father in thi.
city, states that the affair occurred oppo.
site his quarters. General Corcoran, he
says, not only gave Lieutenant Colol.e
kimbali the countersign, but told him hi.
name, and stated that be was on urgent
business for General Peck. Colonel Kim

to pass, seized the General horse by the

refused to allow him to proceed. There.
