the loss of MS. Swerland the communi

her death, yet she has gained happier home
in Heaven. always the devoted wife, the
affctionate mother, the generous nelghbOr
and the steadfdst iriend-she has gone lo rest
from her abors and reap the reward OF good
deeds done in the body. She lived as the
Christian lives and died as The Christian
dieth.
Oh how feeting are life'spleasures,
How deceivihg are its ways;
All they scarcely fill one promise
Ersit withers and decays.
But there is one consolation
Loft US in itzI closing even;
Thstthero Is cline unfading
High above the starry heaven.
Where the tree of life is blowing
In the light ofendless day,
And the smile ofGod is CLEANING
On his angel once Away:
And tia there our loved and lost are
On Gods bosom folds her wings,
Add her spirit tuned in glory
Through tho upper Edip sings.

Honest Abe's Last Joke.

NEW YORK, March A special to the
Evening Po't dated Washington, March A,
says: Messrs. Bretonnean and Rondeonnez,
the delegation appointed by the colored
freedmen of Louisiana to wait upon the
President presented their memorial last
evening, asking that the colored people in
Louisiana who were free before the rebel
lion, may be permitted to vote In that State.
The President received the deputation cor
dially,ia and replied that an impression had
gone abroad that he was acting irresponsi-
bly, in the elections in rebel States, but the
"big job" on his hands was crushing the re-
bellion, and in doing that if it became
necessary to prevent the rebels from voting,
he should do so. If the recognition of black
men as having a right to vote was necessa-
ry to close the war he would not hesitate.
He saw no reason why intelligent black
men should not vote, but this was not a
military question, and he would refer it to
a Constitutional Convention in Louisiana.

WASHINGTON, March Alt appears from
official data in possession Of the War De-
partment that since Feb. "a, 1862, the Illi-
nois Central railroad has received for tans-
portation of troops and supplies $308,000;
the Burlington q Missouri railroad $500.
and the Mississippi& Missouri railroad only
$40, making total of $31l 1000. The ac-
counts Of the Illinois Central prior to March
3, 1852, were settled on the basis of the tariff
Of the road, when such rates did not exceed
those of the Scott tariff Of '61, and one third
deducted from the amount there found due;
subsequent to March 1862 the accounts ac-
cord with the regulations of thatroad made
by the Quartermaster-G General In accord
ance with the suggestions of the railroad
managers, consi Tered In Washington by
the Secretary of War.
The whisky bill, which has now passed
both Houses and awaits the Presidents sig
nature, imposes a tax of sixty cents per
gallon on all spirits which may be distilled
and removed for for consumption or sale
previous to July lst next; any tax after
this timeto G provi led for by rther legi
lation, and win doubtless be inserted in the
tax bill now under consider
alton by the committee of Ways and Means.
The whisky bill proposes an additional tax
of forty ents per gallon on imported spir-
its on hand. The sliding scale OF duties on,
both foreign and domestic spirits. and a tax
on the stock of domestic spirits has no
place in the bill.
1t is ascertained from an official source
that orders regulating the draft on the 10th

the draft will be announced In
time to make all necessary preparations.

mean something, though this may be in
