And sip the pearly dews of summer night;
Bend o, my soul in reverence and love, , ...
Before thy coronel Of glory bright. M
Oh, sacred flower thou "plant Of old renown,
Emblazoned with that tragedy Of woe,
At which the heavens grew dark and earth die
As bled the Son of God for man below.
'Tis meet that thoua a radiant flower shouldst be
That shadows forth the Passion of our bless
ed Lord ......
A form sublime and full of majesty,
A blending of the terrible and sad
The pure, the fair. the glorious should appear
And over all a kindling radiance pour,
That turns to gladness all its brooding fear,
That from the Cross our thoughts to HEAVIER
may soar.
Thy ten pale petals the disciples seem,
As blanched with grief and fear, they gathe
round,
Apostate Judas. thou'rt not numbered here,
And Simon son of jonas thou'rt not found,
Alas that thou shouldst thrice deny and swear,
al know him not" twas meet thy masteri

Should st send thee weeping bitterly away;
Twou couldst not brave that silent, calm re
buke' e..
How grandly spread these s1ken flanents
In bright concentric zones Now silvery
white
Now tinged with purple hue-'then richly blcnt
With pure ETHEREAL blue--a holo-bright .
Encircling with radiant beams the rugged cross
That darkly from the midst uprean it woful
crest,
The Roman soldiers grouped around-~
A 10 the thorns that his dear temples pressed !
This spiral shoot the scourge that dealt those
wounds. -...
Are these five fingered leaflets spread to show
Those pierced hands that ever blessing show

Upon the poor, The sick, the fallen low ?

The priceless benefits thy grace impartsj

COTTON PLANTATIONS AT THE SOUTH

COTTON PLANTATIONS AT THE SOUTH
THE SYSTEM A FAILURE.-A writer
in the Vicksburg Herald declares that
the system of cotton cultivation by loyal
lessees, has proved disastrous failure :;
that the Government, after inviting
Northern men to take the cotton lands
abandoned by traitors and work them,
has permitted the lessees to be victims
of rebel revenge and guerrilla barbarity,
until the system has proved a ruinous
experiment. He thinks the whole thing
has. been wrongly managed from the
commencement, and that no civilian, on
civil business, should have been allow
ed south of Cairo until the war is over.

case Of our National debt quite forcibly:
When we hear doubts expressed as to

RETARY OF THE NAvY.-A Washington
dispatch to the Chicago Tribune says:
Rumor connects the name of Senator
Grimes, of Iowa, with the Secretary
ship of the Navy, but strong combina-
ton is at work to have Welles retained,
and among those working to that end is
at least one man whose influence with
the President is second to scarcely any
one man in public life. Some of Crimes
friends say he would not take it.
Senator Grimes is certainly as we'll
fitted for the position as any other man
in the nation. AS Chairman of the
Naval Committee in The Senate, he has
become well posted in the affairs of the
Department.

We have carefully perused this anx-
iously looked-for document. In the
main it is what We might expect from
Mr.. Lincoln-a concise, unvarnished
reference to all our public affairs. Re
tsrring to Canada, the President init
mates the possibility Of . modification
on our part, Of the rights Of transit, and
the reciprocity treaty, unless neutrality
10 better observed. The condition OF
the several Departments Of government
are briefly noticed and concisely stated.
Referring to the recent election, Mr..
Lincoln states . fact that may appear to
many too incredulous to be believed, so
vivid have been our imaginations con-
corning the destruction Of human life.
Abraham Lincoln has presented the
outlines Of his own character in the
closing words of this message. Plain,
honest and in straightforward manner
he says: ut seems to me no attempt
ut negotiation with the insurgent leader
could result in any good. They can at
any moment have peace simply by lay
ing down their arms and submitting to
the national authority under the Con-
stitution."
But the foot of the President comes
down with emphasis when he declares
"that the time may come, probably will
come, when the door of amnesty, open
for year past, will be closed, and that
in lieu more vigorous measures than
heretofore shall be adopted. We
thank the President for those words
They indicate that we have not man
Of putty for President. The high moral
character Of the President is more strik-
ingly shown In his final words-"I re-
peat the declaration made year ago,
that while remain in my present posi-
tion, shall not attempt to alter or mod
lily the emancipation proclamation, mol
shall I return to slavery any person who
IL free by its terms or by the acts Of
Congress. If the people should, by
whatever means, make it an Executive
duty to rs-snslave such persons, anoth
or, and not 1, must be tho instrument te
perform it.. "
God bless Abraham Lincoln. Oul
confidence in his honesty, in his patri
otism and integrity, is confirmed. W.
shall come out of this conflict purel
nation for having been governed by
Honest Abe. ..'

Angr0ssing Topics.
In ordinary times the Presidents
annual message, presenting in brief the
financial condition, material Interests
and relations with Foreign powers,
would be anxiously looked for by the
reading public. It SO happens this year
that while everybody is anxiously look
ing for Mr. Lincoln's annual disquisi-
ton upon national affairs, they are a
little more interested in hearing from
Sherman, aud SO we take it for granted
that our readers will not complain if,
instead Of giving the message this morn
ing, we shall give some pleasing intelli-
genee from Sherman. That Sherman
has reached his objective point Of desti.
nation before this there can be no doubt.
If he does not already occupy Savans
nah, he is safely encamped in its vicin-
ity, on the coast, where he will be able
10 communicate with our Navy. That
this has already been done we infer
from the tone of the rebel press. Sher-
man is at present the centre OF attrac-
ton. He carries to the coast formid-
able army of not less than $4,000
veterans. &
The Chicago Journal mentions q we'll

eeeded by water to Savannah, to CO.
