'Tis q tale devoid Of an aim or plan,

What tell-tale thing Is an empty sleeve
What weird, queer thing, is an empty sleeve!

Ofa countrys need and n country's call,
Ofa kiss and a tear for child and wife,
And hurried mi rch for q nations life;
Till this very hour, who could Ger believe
What tell tale, thing, Ia an empty slceyo,
What weird, queer thing, is an empty sloeVei
It tells Of battle field Of gore,
or the aahre's clash, of the cannon s roar
Ofthe deadly charge-of the bugle's note
OF a gurglng sound in G'foeman's throat
OF the whiZzing grape-of the fiery shell
Ofa scene that mimics the scenes Of hell.
TIL this very hour would you Ger believe
What weird, queer thing, is an empty sleeye'
Though IL points to myriad wounds and scars,
Yet II tells that a g. with the stripes and stars
In Coils own choHn time will tako
Each plncn Of tho rag with the rattlesnakc,
And Il points to a time when the flag shall wave
Ger a land where there breathes no covering slav'

Eloquent Words.

The following beautiful and eloquent
tribute was paid to the memory of Hon.
James E. Blythe, before the meeting Of
the Bar on Tuesday, by Col Charles
DENLY:
am unwilling, Mr.. Chairman, to al
low this occasion to pass without saying
q few words expressive of mr. deep re.
greet for the loss that this Bar has sus-
tanned and my high estimation of the
distinguished character of our departed
brother. In the prime of life, having
reached the noon of years, but not the
noon of character or greatness, he has
suddenly been stricken down. Standing
in contemplation Of all that il left Of
him to-day, how fleeing seems all earth
ly position, how short all earthly dis
tinetion, how brief all earthly honors.
But yesterday Mr.. Blythe lived, lived BY
common consent the most distinguished
citizen of this community, most distin-
guished as man of wise counsels in
every emergency, most respected rs q
man who wished well to his city aud his
couatry, most loved as gentleman of
courteous bearing, of kindly heart, and
of the purest character. Who, sir, ever
spoke i'll of himf OF all the living to-
day what man viii avow himself the
enemy of this one that is dend2 Who
that knew him did not take him to his
heart and cherish him there, proud Of
the feeling Of love and respect for him
as if that feeling itself were a virtue
And yet, sir, he is dead, gone to tha,
common grave which yswns alike for the
prince and the beggar. What q warning
to us here to-day in robust health How
inserutable are the ways OF Providence
The community, sir, has sustained q
loss; each man in it has loat something
By the death of one whose public charac,

citizenship here made him the common
property of us all. But, sir, while We
unite with all the people in their grief in
the common deprivation, next to his
family, we, of the Bar, have most cause

"Cotton Mouth.n

The Times has become an inventor,
having gotten up, as az Offset to the cpl
tibet "Copperhead," as applied to its own
party, the above elegant nickname for
the Union organization and those who

Times editor, who invented this brilliant
epithet, apply for copyright He GER

him to steal his pet nickname unless he

Particulars Of the Fight Between the
Alabama and kearsage.

NEv YoKK, June 5.-Steamer City of
Baltimore arrived this morning. Pirate
Alabama left Cherbourx on the 10Th to
engage the Ke&rsage and attacked her
10 miles from Cherbourg. The engage
ment lasted an hour aud forty minutes.
Both vessels made seven complete cir
cles in maneuverikg at distance of
from I to ! mile. The Alabama was
sunk. Semmes and part of his crew
were saved by the English yacht Deer
hound. Semmss was slightly wouHdsd
in the hand.
Before leaving Cherbourg, the pirate
left 80 ehronometers, his specie and ran
som bonds there. No one was killed
and only three seamen slightly wounded
on the Kearssge. She landed her
wounded at Cherbourg; the vessel sus-
tanned but little injury.
Semmes declined = public dinner at
Southampton and went to Paris to re-
port to the Confederate Commissioner.
Three of the Alabama's officers, and six
of the crew were landed at Cherbourg
from the French pilot boat; also several
from the British ship Acton.
Latesk-The Dano Germanic Con-
ference yesterday accomplished nothing.
A proposition for arbitrsnce was reject
ed. The Conference is regarded as a
failure. 1t is supposed that hostilities
will recommence on the Goth.
1t is stated that the Kearsage captured

bama. Semmes publishes a statement
in which he says he had killed and &C
wounded. He charges that the Kear,
sage continued firing after the Alabams
struck her flag.

The Late Memphis Election $50 The
MaYOFaIty.

The Late Memphis Election The
May0ralty.
The Memphis Argus, of Saturday,
says:
The returns of Thursdays election
show the success Of Mr. Park for Mayor,
by plurality vote, He leads bis prin-
cipal competitor, Mr. Bullock, SO votes,
but upon the general vote is left far be-
hind. This result plainly shows for it
self Only few over 400 votes could be
found who were willing to record them
selves as endorsing Mr.. Park and his ad-
ministratiou as Mayor We much doubt
if half the number really believe him
even in the least degree fitted for the
position; yet it would argue little for MIR.
Parks management if, after serving
three successive terms, and judicious
apportionment of the patronage within
his bestowal, he could not confidently
rely npon 400 votes for any Office for
which he might become q candidate.
When Mr. Park ran last yea. he received
If We mistake not, more than treble the
votes cast for him on Thursday, fact
which attests the rapid decline of his
popularity. This speaks louder than
words, and obviatss the necessity of adj
ducing further argument to prove the
assertion.
The vote on Thursday was much
smaller than that ever cast at'any previ.
GUS election for many years. Doubtless
the principal cause of this result wa
the fact that one Of the qualification,
was the acceptance Of the johnson oath
Our own opinion of that oath is too vel
known to the public 20 require elabora
ton in this article. We do not, moi
never did, regard the johnson oath as g
test of Loyalty. In prescribing it il
connection with the present election W.
believe Gen. Wsshburn to have been ae
tuated solely by the motive mentioned II
his published order; yet we are satisfied
that because Of that oath hundreds O
votes were lost for Mr. Bullock, agains
whom not even the slightest charge O
disloyalty has been brought or intimateC
By his opponents
OF the course General Washburn de
signs pursuing in regard to this election
we are not advised. He has alread,
publicly announced that Mr. Park woulC
not be permitted to retain the position
OF Mayor under any circumstances be
yond his present term of Office. II
that event, whether Mr. Bullock, having
received the next highest vote, will b,
installed is the subject of considerable,
speculation; and, 80 far as we can learn
the almost general desire Of the people
is that he be thus installed. We ar,
confident that the installation Of Mr.
Bullock would be hailed with the heart
est appreciation By ct least four.iifths 0
the residents and citizens of the city
If Gen. Washburn is still of the sam,
opinion relative to the present incum
bent We trust Mr. Bullock will be chose,
as Mr., Parks successor.
