For the good man may not kneel to pray

And his flying steeds but increase their speed.

For the Mother weeps while the Father sleeps
Gnroused by the stirring drums
Oh, his murderous breath hath the scent of death
As he breathes on the glowing youth, bright,
Whose hands were white and whose souls were
Till he dimmed their Light of Truth
By the fearful shrek, by the pallid cheek,
We may know from whence he comes,
For the Sister weeps while her Brother sleeps
Unroused by the stirring drums.
Yet they madly kneel at bis chariot wheel,
And he binds them at his will,
And they wear the stain of his CALLING chain,
Till they learn like him to kill, - Young,

The Passport System a Nuisance.

We have a suggestion to make to the portion of
Congress which really desires to replenish the
my, and is not merely intent upon demagogueism
which sings of arms in public, and speculates in
apple brandy, privately. 1t is easy to make a
number of practical tests of the real disposition of
Congress to increase and strengthen the army, and
the suggestion we have now to make, offers ready
and conclusive one.
The suggestion is this: To abolish the passport
system. Such an act would give to the field that
large horde Of brawny military idlers connected
with this supernumersry bureau. The officer of
passports has three sets of employees. There are
various clerks scribes, and messengers Immediate
ly connected with the Office; then the guards at
the stations of travel, squad of whom is to be
found at every railroad platform in the Confedera-
cy, bullying passengers and, finally, the trim mil
tary gentlemen who travel from station to station,
and bawl in every railroad car in the Confederacy
"show your passportsl" All these employees IN
the South would furnish several full DIVISIONS
They are generally able bodied, always impolite,
and if their courage is equal to the insolence of
their manners, would make very positive and cour-
ageous soldiers.
The present employment Of these men is of no
earthly benefit to the Confederacy Indeed, the en-
tire passport system is an uamitgated nuisance; it
is worse than useless; it is source of endless
noyance to honest persons, and instead of being
check spies and traitors, it is positive facility to
them, Tor 1t makes tue only rest OF the leSltlmacy
Of their travel the possession of scrap Of brown
paper, which any william may easily get as any fool
may easily forge The writer has recently travelled
over several thousand miles in the Consederacy,
through various gauntlets of the passport system,
and be has never yet seen one single instance Of &C.
tual arrest by the agents Of that system. Does any
one know of single important arrest wadelthrough
the agency of the passport oHiceg Yet we all know
that spies are constantly moving from point to point
in the Confederacy and making their exit at pleas
ure. The passport actually facilitates them; for
it is easily got is taken primo aeis evidence in
their favor, quiets suspicion, and excludes enquiry.
the authorities desire to detect spies and raito
it must be done through some other agency than
the passport Office which experience, in addition to
reason, has shown to be Inefficient corrupt and. in
fact auxiliary to the escape of the friends and ennis
saries of the enemy. But it is not only on these
accounts that the Office should be abolished, but
pecially because it employs very considerable num-
Der of men who should be in active military service
Many these are skulking on detailed service
they belong properly to the army, and are eager
en- sug to wear the unorm and present the fnsignis
soldiers on railroad cars; and it is high time that
i they were put where they belong. -Richmond Es

SO would be incompatible with the public Interest,"
The committee had decided by barely one majo: =
in favour of its being reported in open session,
he thought it due to the House to make this ex., .
nations Of the difference of the views of the conn +
tee before any action was taken on the report
Mr.. Kenan thought it would be best to have :',e
report read in secret session, and then the Ho

in open or secret session, and he would so move.
The motion prevailed and the House resolved It.

debate ensued as to the policy of secret sessit ia
After some time spent in secret session the d. -s
we're reopened and the House adjourned.

BRANDRETHS PILLs.-They expel the

person is purged by this vegetable remedy, he
has less vitiated humors and more life and vigor,
as any one can prove by taking single dose -
Persons of spare habits gain hesh and strength
viii using them, Every time we rest a few days
or weeks from the purgation, we make new fluids
from our food, which replace the unsound ones
that the Pills have caused to be evacuated. Each
time We repeat this process, we expel further
quantities Of impurities, which again replaced
by fluids less and less impure, No that in a short
time, by continuing this treatment we bring
back the whole mass of fluids or humors to that
state Of purity which constitutes health, for Bran
dreth's Pills only take away humors which are
