BLANCHE.

Blanche sat by her open easement,
Humming an air as she spinned,
Ever and oft the burden came.
Borne on the summers wind.
Twas an olden ditty she sang,
She had caught from her lips long dead
Lips now attuned to other songs
"To other songs" she said.
Round and round her spinning wheel few,
Swiftly the long silken thread,
Dropped from her ivory fingers
IAN endless task?" she said
The sun swooned away on the mountains,
Painting the valley in red,
In orange and purple the vineyards
"An endless day" she said.
The moon and the stars they glimmered,
As the twilight shadows fed;
She leans from her open easement
"God only is lght!' she said.
An angel in secret is weaving
death shroud in mystical thread,
United the halt finished meshes--
"God only il Rest !' she said.
"Now wipe the tears from thy cheek, Blanche;
Believe that thy lover is dead;
For faithless from thee he has wandered"-
'God only is true" she said.
Twas night, and the angel was bending,
Over Blanche as she lay on her bed;
He whispered "Her spinning is ended
God only is lifey" he said.

BISHOP Bishop Colenso has
addressed the following letter to the editor
of the Guardian:-Sir, In your leading
article Of August 10, you have asserted
that | have denied the inspiration of the
Bible" This is calumny which has been
often repeated, and which, l suppose, will
be repeated unto the end, by those who are
not careful to speak the strict truth.
once more protest emphatically against
this unfair and unfounded charge. have
never denied the inspiration Of the Bible.
| have said this already on p. l8 Of my
Part Ill, and l now repeat it; and add
further that none Of my writings have
given a shadow Of reason for making such
an assertion as the above. fully believe
that the Bible is inspired. and have spo.
ken in my Part l., p. lS, Of the Especial
working Of Gods spirit on the minds Of
its WRITER'S" But l do not believe that
every statement of the Bible is go inspired
as to be infallibly true. ! do not believe
as the Bishop Of ofCspetown does that "the
whole Bible"-every line and letter of the
Chronicles, Esther, the Book Of Job-''is
the unerring word Of the living God" /
trust Sir, that alter this positive contra.
diction on my part, you will not again
repeat statement which is utterly untrue.

The SEIZURE OF THE SOLDIERS VorEs
We have little further light upon the sub.
ject of the seizure Of the New York soldiers
ballots. The trial of Donahue was the
purest mockcry Of justice. Outside of
Russia or Austria such proceeding has not
occurred in modern times. A packed mill.
tary commission constituted judges and
jury, the witnesses were self confessed spies
and stool pigeons. the prisoner had no
counsel, and the witnesses suffered no cross
examination. Supposing tho evidence of
Wood and Ferry to Le true, the first was
an Abolition spy, and the other a paid
stool.pigeon. These men, by their own
confession, set up the business of manu-
featuring votes, induced the two men,
Donahue and Newcomb to assist them, and
as soon as they were fairly at it, had them
arrested. The witnesses confess themselves
the guilty parties, and thereby destroy
confidence in their own testimony, and vet
admitting their evidence to be true, this is
all the case amounts. And this is the
whole of the shallow pretence upon which
the votes Of the New York soldiers have
been seized, and the attempt made to dis
franchise the army. Under all the circum.
stances, the only natural conclusion chat
can be drawn is, that the plot was delibe.
rateIy planned beforehand, and the stool.
pigeons sent into the Agency for the express
purpose Of seducing tbs agents, so that
some prctext might be made up for seizine
the Mcclellan soldiers votes, which were
known to be coming in from the army by
thousands. Could any thing more infamous
be conceived ?-Utieo IN. ~ Observer.

Washington, March L.
As some controversy exists in Tennes-
wee concerning the test oath prescribed BY
Gov. johnson in his late proclamation
and as questions have been raised as to
its incompatibility with the President .
amnesty proclamation, it is proper to say
that it is known 10 Washington beyond
any doubt that the President and Gov.
Johnson are in perfect accord in the mat
ter Of providing for an election in that
State, with the view Of restoring Tennes-
see to her former position in the Union,
and the President does not consider the
Governors form Of oath in the qualifica-
ton of voters as homogeneous with that
which he himself has prescribed to be
taken as preliminary to pardon, but rather
as an oath which should be respected aud
enforced; and Of this fact there is reason
to believe the citizens of Tennessee will
be duly informed.
The bill supplementary to the loan act,
having passed both Houses, now only
awaits the Presindent's approval to be-
come law. 1t is the same Is published.
