A MOTHERS LOVE FOR HER FIRST B0RN,-Sim
ply expressed, and truthfully, as many wit
nesses, were it needful, might be called upon to
prove is this statement of u father relative to
the death of his first born:
We were to leave our lodgings on Monday
morning but on Saturday evening the child was
seized with commissions, and all Sunday tho
mother watched and prayed for ii but IL pleased
God to take the innocent infant from u.s. and on
Sunday, at midnight, IL lay corpse In its
mothers bosom. Amen. We have other children,
happy and we'll now round about us and from
the fathers heart the memory of this little thing
has almost faded but do believe that every
day of her life the mother thinks of the hrst-born
that was with her for 80 short awhile aud many
and many time has she taken her daughters to
the grave, where she lies buried, and she wears
still at her neck little, little lock of gold hair
which she took from the head of the infant as he
lay smiling in his coffin. 1t has happened to me
to forget the chld's birthday, but to her never /;
and often, in the midst OF common talk, comes
something that shows she is thinking of the child
STILL some simple alusion that il to me mex
pressiby affecting. | shall not try to describe
her grief, for such things are sacred and secret
and man has no business to put them on paper
for all the world TO read.

CAUTIOUS CoPPERHEA ADs.-.Intimaton are thrown
out by some of the Confederate Democracy that
the Sth of July Convention is a mere experiment.
If the Secesh wing find that they can control it
to suit themselves, they will nominate ticket
and stand by it. If, on the contrary. there is any
namby pambyism in favor of the Union and the
war; they will bolt aud make new ticket on the
18th of July, at the Convention called by their
State Committee. The Union Democrats must
be careful not to offend their masters. Let
moderation prevail n-Bee

We can't see how man who runs on the
Butte Platform can be eligible to Office, or how
foreigner can vote that ticket without perjury.
The oath of Office and citizenship, requires sup,
port and not opposition to the policy Of the Gov
ernment. Opposing the policy towards rebels
means to oppose war and nothing shorter

IRISH EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATEs-lt
is stated in the Cork Examiner that the number
States during the last fortnight of March ex-
ceeded all that had emigrated during the two
previous years. Almost every morning crowds
of persons, principally of the farming class, were
seen taking their departure from the railway
station, Killarney, on their way to Queenstown
for America. They rush on from the county

that large sums of money have been sent over

in that part of the country. and in many cases
tickets have been enclosed in letters for the pass

Slavery in Tennessee.
From the Nashville Unton.1

4 large STAKEHOLDER Of Middle Tennessee,
a man Of fine intelligence, informed us, not
long ago, that be knew more than fifty large
planters and slare- owneTs In his county, who
were earnest emancipationists and free labor
men. He assured US that the cause Of anti
tlasery, and free labor, was ginning ground
rapidly in this region. Intelligent aud hon.
est men, who were never infected in the
slightest degree with AbolitionIsm, are fast
becoming convinced that the system of AT:
rican slavery has lived its day In Tennessee,
and that it's presence henceforward can only
be an intolerable and uncomfortable curse. We
firmly believe that in Il very short time the
cause Of free LABOR will advance as fast here as
it is now doing in Missouri
The great body Of the pro-slayery men are
disposed to acquiesce in tic course Of events;
so that when the struggle comes on, If there
ne struggle, there will be really less opposi.
ton to . wise Bystem Of emancipation than
there is in Missouri. Tennessee will cersain-
II gut aside slavery, and noble old Kentucky
will then be belted With the golden girdle Of
fleedom. Her soil will not touch foot Of
slave territory.
