Home Guards-Deserters, &c.

1t is proper to state, in reply to the Winston Sen
tael that Gov Vance enterains the most entire re-
spect for the decisions Of the Supreme Court, as a
coordinate branch Of the government, and as bind
ing him in all cases where the law is in doubt but
be has no. withdrawn his orders to the Home Guards
to arrest deserters, because he does not consider
himself bound in law to do so under the recent de-
csion of Chief Justice Pearson, except in the par
ticuar case decided; and because he could not de-
eide the question of courtesy to the Chief Justice in
opposition to the many evils likely to ensue if the
State forces were withdrawn from this duty in certain
localities and deserters and outlaws consequently
allowed to have full sway. Welearn that the Gov
ernor has been exerting himself for some time past
to obtain decision of the Court itself which will
be final in this matter. He has at length had case
made up, and would have done so sooner, but for
the absence Of the Attorney General at his Courts.
The Governor, for the above stated has not
Withdrawn his orders, nor has he issued any new
ORDER except in Wake County with the view of hav.
ing a case made up for final action.
The effort of the Sentinel to make party capital
out of this matter will fail Gov Vance has disre-
garded no decision of the Supreme Court but, on
the contrary, holds himself bound in al cases to
respect and carry out the decisions of tho Court.

foe, Jenny Wade was busily engaged in
baking bread for the national troops. She
occupied house in range of the guns Of both
armies, and the rebels had sternly ordered
her to leave the premises, but this she as
sternly refused to do. While she was busily
engaged in her patriotic work, mimic ball
pierced her pure heart, and she fell holy
sacrifice in her country's cause. Almost at
the same time rebel officer Of high rank fell
near where Jenny Wade had persisted. The
rebelI at once proceeded to prepare coffin
for their fallen leader, but about the time that
was finished the surging Of the conflict chang
ed the positions of the armies, and Jenny
Wade's body was placedin the coffin designed
fer her country's enemy, and thus the heroine
of Gettysburg was buried, The incidents OF
the heroine and the hero of Gettysburg are
beautifully touching, noble, and sublime
Old John Burns was the only man Of Gettys-
burg who participated in the struggle to save
the North from invasion, while innocent
Jenny Wade was the only sacrifice which the
people of that locality had to oger on the
shrine of their country Let amOnument be
erected on the ground which covers her, be-
fore which the pilgrims to the holy tombs of
the heroes of Gettysburg can bow and bless
the memory of Jenny Wade. If the people
of Gettysburg are not able alone to raise the
funds to pay for suitable monument for
Jenny Wade, let them send q committee to
Harrisburg, and our little boys and girls will
assist in soliciting subscriptions for this holy
purpose. Before the summer sunshine again
kisses the grave of Jenny Wade; before the
summer birds once more carol where she
sleeps iu glory before the flowers again deck
the plain made famous by gallant deeds, let a
monument rise to greet the skies in tokens of
virtue, daring, and nObleness.-Harrisbury

Results orEmanclpation.

The editor of the Nashville Union, writing
from Washington, gives the following in re-
spect to tbs results of emancipation in the
District Of Columbia:
Many of our friends in Tennessee are ask
ing, with much solictuds, what shall we do
with the slaves when liberated? Let me
give the substance of conversations havo had
with several late shareholders, who reside IN
this District, aud, after an experience OF ne
gro freedom of over two years, thus bear tes-
tiruony ir this Important ease. Iia4aireaef
those gentlemen, all of high social position,
as follows:
"what has been the general effect of eman-
cipating the slaves in this District?
Decidedly beneficial to both masters and
slaves"
Have you suffered any considerable social
convulsion in consequence"
"Not at all matters have progressed as
smoothly as ever"
Are the negroes insolent and lawless ?"
"Not SO much 90 as formerly. They feel
that they are now standing on their good be-
"Have you much trouble in procuring Ia
borers%
None at all; the negroes work readily and
faithfully for wages. They do their work
better than ever, because they know that they
must either fulfil their contracts or get no pay"
"Do the people regret the change which
emancipation has effected 2"
"No, hardly one man in the whole district,
except few politician, would vote for the res
toration of slavery. Mr.. - and Mr.. -,
who were both large slave owners, and op-
posed emancipation bitterly, now declare
openly that they never want slavery re-
stored"
Certainly this evidence is important, and
worth the consideration of Tennesseans. Let
us act honestly towards the slaves, and then
the consequences will take care of them
selves. Let US offer "greenbacks " instead
of cowhides to the negro, and he will work
with fresh alacrity and hope. He has a
soul; let us treat him accordingly. If we
use our numerical superiority to rob him of
his natural rights and defraud him of wages,
VIC will pull down upon our own heads and
the heads of our children the just penalty Of
our guilt, amid the mereiess tempests ola So
ciable revolution.

parA refugee from Richmond, recently
arrived within our lines, and now confined,
furnishes the following estimate Of the present
force of Lees army: Ewell's corps, now COM
manded by Early, twenty to twenty-one
thousand infantry, and six batteries OF ar
tillery A. P. Hills corps, twenty thousand
infantry and FIVE batteries Of artillery
Stuart's cavalry, eight thousand caTalrynen
and two batteries OF flying artillery-mskinS
in all forty-one thousand infantry, eight thous-
and cavalry, and sevcnty-eight cannon. proTi-
ded the batteries are all complete. lie also
confirms the death of the rebel General Posey,
and the statement that Ewell had retired 10
Charlottesville on account Of i'll health. By
this gentleman's account the present ration
of the rebel army is one pound Of -four and
one pound of fresh beef, with very little salt.
and nothing else As for clothing, they nave
good supply, of very inferior quality, except
what has been stolen from the United States,
but not one half Of them have shoes.

REQUIEM FOR THE BRAVE.

Rest, soldier, rest! thy comrades comes,
With tender love and true,
Freely to deck thine honored bed,
Her banner DER its turf to spread,
And on thy m nument to shed
Fond memory's pearly dew.
For, at her need, in peril'd hour,
Unswerving and sublime,
Thy fearless foot mid lightnings trod,
Thy life blood fed the encrimsoned sod,
Thy prayer awoke the avenging God,
To guard thy native cline.
Rest, patriot, rest yet cast behind
Thy mantle from the sky;
This pure, unsellsh, heavenward aim,
UnbOwed by gold, unthought by fame,
Content for freedoms glorious claim,
To toll, and dare, and die.
Yes, leave it for our rising race,
Soldier and patriot brave;
That in the time of strife or wrong,
They to their countrys ark may throng,
And in Jehovahs armor strong,

Jenny Wade, the Heroine of Gettys-
burg.

The country has already heard Of John
Burns, The hero of Gettysburg-of hew the
old man sailed forth, ost within himself,
"to fight on his own hook" how he fell wound
ed after having delivered many shots from
his trusty rifle into the faces and the hearts
of his country's foes. John Burns name is
already recorded among the immortal, to live
there with American valor and patriotism,
have an admrer and an emulator. But there
was heroine as well as hero of Gettysburg.
The old hero Burns still lives-the heroine,
sweet Jenny Wade, perished in the din Of
that awful fray, and she now sleeps where
the flowers once bloomed, and the perfume
laden air waited lovingly over Cemetery Hill.
Before the battle, and while the national
hoets were awaiting the assault Of the traitor

THE OLD ARM CHAIR.

By Cousin WILLIE.
The old arm chair, the old arm chair,
It's been a living many Year,
It's rested many IA poor, tired man,
Who's been horne to a grave yard land.
The I'D arm char, it's joints do creSk,
And that's sign that he is weak;
The old arm chair, that now you see,
Is rudely tossed by liie's rough sea.
The old arm chair, the old arm chair,
Is fading fast, like you, fearj
It's youth and beauty fed away,
And YOU, like it, must die one day.
The old arm chair, like other chairs,
Has had its burdens and its cares;
And faithful proved, till now at last,
Its Summer, Spring and Winter past
