The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1864-02-04

A correspondent of the London Times
writing from this country nearly 3 year
ago, predicted that one principal effect
of the war would be to give prodigious
impulse to the process of transpl&nting
northern freemen to southern soil, which
had already begun, with more or less
vigor, in times of peace. He said that
the determined and desperate spirit Of
the South "would shut the door TO any
reconstruction, SO that the distinct issue
would be presented to the North, either
to let the South go, or to gain military
possession and to reconstruct society on
the basis of free labor, common schools
and the ballot" But the passion of the
North for the Union precIuded the first
alternative, and left it only "the great
movement of conquest and reconstruc-
tioR"
The predictions thus put forth by the
correspondent of the Times-put forth,
however, to be ridiculed by the editor OF
that paper-are now on the point of be-
ing realized and of this fact the rebels
themselves are at length becoming aware.
By the Presidents proclamation, recon-
structiOn by return to allegiance is
practicable; the guilty will be freely
forgiven; but if they refuse the offer,
then the other alternative presented will
be adopted How many States have
been reclaimed from a wilderness within
the last ten years? Let the rebels pom
der the subject.

The pro-slsvery men in Maryland in-
sist, now, that no constitutional conven-
ton can be called in that State to abol-
ish slavery before 1865. These are the
the same men who, in 1861, tried to force
Governor Hicks TO call an extra session
of the Legislature in order to get 3 con-
stitutionsl convention together to drag
the State into rebellion. They saw nc
constitutional objection TO . hurried call
ola convention, while the country was in
blaze of excitement, to rush Maryland
into rebellion. They had no constitu-
tional scruples then, and the arguments
they used st that time ought to stop their
mouths now.-Cin. Times.
They belong to TIE class of men who
thought it right for 3 self constituted
convention of rebels, representing nobody,
to turn Kentucky over to the Southern
Confederaey. Any thing is right, that
does not conflict with their wishes
every thing is wrong that does. We
have many men of this class in Tonnes

LEAVES OF AUSTRALIA.

Almost everybody has heard Of the walk
ing leaves of Australia. For q lone tim.
after the discovery of that island. manv
people really believed that tho leaves of .
certain tree which fourished there coull
walk about the ground. This story .ros.
IN this way Some English sailors landed
upon the coast one day, and, after roaming
about until they were tired, they sat down
under a tree to rest themselves. A puff Of
wind came along and plew off . shower Of
leaves, which, after turning over and over
in the air. as leaves generally do, finally
rested upon the ground.
As it was midsummer: and ev.rvth;,.
appeared quite green, the circumstance
puzzled the sailors considerable. But their
surprise was much greater, Is You NAV
well suppose, when, after q short time.
'ney saw the leaves crawling along tho
ground towards the trunk of the tr.e
they ran at once tor the vessel, without
stopping to examine into the matter At all.
and set sail from the land where everything
seemed bewitched. One Of them SAID h.
g expected every moment to see the trees
set to and dance j,g."
Late explorations Of Australia have
taught US that these walking leaves are in
sects. They live upon the trees. Thei.
bodies are very thin and dat, their wings

The following "gem Of purest ray Serene" ID from
late number Of the Boston Raoorder:
An iceberg drifting in the polar seas
Braces its cold, and bold, and glistening front
Against the sharpness Of the Arctic blasts;
But when 1t idly floats BY southern shores,
Where the mild sunshine wakes the pulse Of Spring
Warm airs embrace the rugged stranger round
Aud melt away its angles with their breath;
The tepid waves caress 1t, and the Right
Nestles among its many cfevfces
Till it relents, and in q veil Of mist
withdrawing, sinks, and weeps itself away
Upon the bosom Of tho summer sen,
And So when argument, Teproach and force
Are spent in vain, the hard heart yields to love.
