All just claims of whatever character against the
Government will be promptly collected on reasona-
BILE terms. Especial attention will be given to the
claims of officers, soldiers, their heirs for Pen

that he was in the United States service
nearly fifty years, fourteen of which were
spent at sea, nine on shore and other duty,
and the remainder unemployed, although

accepted the pay Of the United States for
doing nothing else than seeking the best
means to ruin and betray her Yankee

I'll sing of heroes brave and true,
Who for their countrynobly died;
And as sing. sadly view
The bloody field where they were tried.
Manassas Plains, the second time,
In combat deadller than before,
Our country's friends and enemies
Bedewed anew, with human gore.
Our much revered and honored chief, -
The noble and heroic MEANS,
Fell dead, amid his counry's grief,
And left for aye, these bloody scenes.
WITHERsPooN, q COLEMAN fell
Pierced by the foes relentless hate;
But fingered for a time to feel ->-.-
The gradual moving hand Of fate. &1-.
And in that time to friends around,
The looks and words Of love to give;
And hear the sweet, and welcome sound
OF fvoices loved, when they did i've.
A YouNG, a WATERS and RAY
Poured forth their e-blood on the field
And SrAuSToN's life ebbed slow away,
Yet for Carollna's fame twas seaicd
Can Southern hearts forget the names
OF those, who noby died to save
Their laws-,heir liberty and homes,
From dark obllvion's yawning grave
No, never! while the sun doth shine
Or earth apeope still doth claim 3,
Or God Is reverencedas Divine
Can wc forget an honored name.

An Abolitionist for Peace.

.-.. AL lOI 1CICOs
A few days since Senator Conway, of
Kansas, one of the most ultra, as we'll as
one of the ablest of the Republican mem.
bers of Congress, made strong speech in
favor of peace and the stopping Of the war.
The speech is said to have the approval Of
General Andrew, Charles Sumner, W.
Philips, Horace Greeley and other leading
Abolitionists, who held caucus in Wash
ington just before it was delivered. 1t is
avery important and significant demonstra-
ton.
Mr.. Conway in his speech announced
himself as opposed to reunion. He says {:
ri am not in favor Of restoring the con-
stitutioual relation of the shareholders to the
Union, Dor of the war to that end. | have
never allowed myself to indulge 10 thasEsu-
perstitious iiolatry of the Union SO preva-
lent among the simple, but honest people,
nor the political cant about the Union SO
prevalent among dishonest ones"
That the South had established its inde-
pendence he boldly declared, saying:
ssThe war between the North and the
South for the past two years has made a
revolution. 1t has substituted in the South
another Government for the Union. This
is the fact, and the fact in such matter is
the important thing. No technicality in a
matter of this kind can stand. The war
has utterly dissolved the connection between
the North and the South, and renders them
separate and independent powers in the
world" -
Mr.. Conway concludes by announcing
that the true policy of the North is to ter
inmate the war at once, and he urges both
houses of Congress to adopt the following
resolutions:
Resozued by the Senate and House ct
Representatives, That the Executive be,
and be is hereby, requested to issue gen.
eral order to call commanders Of forces in
the several military departments of the u
nited States to discontinue offensive opera
tions against the enemy, and to act for the
future entirely on the defensive.
Resolved, That the Executive be, and
he is, further requested to enter into!nego.
tiation with the authorities Of the Confed:
crate States with reference to a cessation Of
hostilities, based on the following PROPOSE.
tions: Recognition of the independence
of the Confederate States. 2. A uniform
system of duties upon imports. 8. Free
trade between the two States. 4. Free
navigation of the Mississippi river: 5.
Mutual adoption of the Monroe doctrine.
