TIE CHANGE.

Eour years ago the angels ofheayen could
look down to behold thirty millions Of people
vending their way to their respeetiye churches
upon the holy Sabbath. The chime Of ten thou
sand bells would haIgow the morning wish their
peaceful tones, and as many ministers of the
gospel Of Peace, nigh be seen repairing to their
respective pnlpits, TO preach salvation to Chris
tian people. There was no sound IN city or ham
let 10 break in upon tie saGTedness Of that holy
day. Al was prosperity and joy and peace.
The green fields, from the Areostook to the Rio
Grande, waved in premise Of plentiful harvest,
The busy ships giidesl over every ocean, uninoest-
ed by pirates; the white sails of commerce were
spread upon every sea. The light steamer was.
found upon every river, and the rumbIing car
upon every railroad. The inhabitants of South
ern and Northern States met in social accord,
and shook the hand of ffriendship.-There SEEM
ed to be no enemy in the midst OF free and
happy people. All felt secure under the stars
and stripes Of a government composed of thirty
three sovereign States. But, alas, ''there's q
poison drop in every mans purest cup" .Abo-
Etionsm had long been insiduously infusing Its
deadly virus into the heart blood of the nation.
Time and again It had threatened to effect a dis
solution Of the then glorious Union. A Presi-
DENTAL election came round, and the people, re-
posing in false security, and lulled to sleep by
the song of political syrens, permitted Abolition
ism to gain asoendency. -Four years have scarce
ly elapsed since, and Oh, how it breaks the poor
heart to look back upon the scenes that have
within that time, and that are still
being enacted Millions of brethren arrayed in
arms against each other. Millions of graves fill
ed with the bloody victims Of wars dread car
mage Thousands upon thousands OF widows
and orphans. Myriads of starving negroes fol-
lowing victorious or vanquished armies Church
IS desecrated, cities laid IN ashes, the waving
grain destroyed, the cattle upon thousand hills
lriven away, or cruelty shot down. Private
dwellings, everywhere smouldering in ashes. The
holy Sabbath day scarcely if at all recognized.
The vulgar oath and blasphemous expression as
cending to heaven from ten thousand tongues,
old and young. Even life itself, once held sa- ..
cred, not worth the habilments in which it is
dad debt Of fimmelsurable magnitude break
ng down every branch of industry. A militia
y government substituted for civil one, and
the will of a General more powerful than court
or constitution great foundation OF Just,

The REBEL DEAD At GETrrsBURG.--s'ron
icTidenees developed to the workman and others
engaged in removing the dead bodies on the bat
tle-iield, they are now fully convinced that not
less than seven thousand rebels lost their lives
in this conflict, the bodies of whom are still
there. In-one space of three acres were found
three hundred and twenty-five Confederates
slain; and elsewhere, in single trench, two
hundred and fifty more. i considerable portion
OF the battle-ground is likely to be pioughed up
in the spring and summer, by farmers owning
it, preparatory 10 planting corn and other grain.
As matter Of course, the Confederate graves
must be obliterated, and the trenches which
now indicate their burial places. There is q
strong desire with the people, in repect to hu-
nanity, to have these bodies, though of the.en-
emy, respec fully and decently pat away, in
some enclosure where they may not be disturb
ed.
