GO Q N z.
BY MARION GREY.

Al! too sweet was the bloom Of tho dewy lip,
The light OF the laughing eye.
The loity brow and the dImpled check,
Too fair. too fair to die.
Yet, away nom the hearts that cherished him,
Out from the homo he had blest,
They have carried our darling. our beautiful ono
And laid him alone to rest.
The sunny blossoms Of spring viii come,
And summers dreamy charms,
But never again the son caress,
The clasp OF the clinging arms.
Never again the bird.like voice,
Never tho patterins feet
Oh! an empty chair In an empty homo
Is saddening thing to meet
The beauty has AIDED from earth and sky,
And tho sunllshts golden wave
Wears dimness as II OF tcars-alas.
II shines on our darlins's grave.
Tenderly ever that brightness rest,
Prisoned In fragrant bloom,
On the little mound whose shadow enwraps
The whole wide world In gloom,
We know that tho gates OF the unseen world
Swing noiselessly upon this,
And though without may be sorrowing pain,
Within Is unolouded bliss.
We know that beyond these chilling damps
There arc pastures heavenly fair,
And the sunshine gone from our earthly homo
Isgarnered forever there.
Forever there, Oh God oflovc,
Safe from the darkening blight
Which sweeps across our human lives
Like the mists Of n troubled night.
All the skies are drcar, and the night Is chill,
And we toss on moaning sea,
But, safe in Thy Heaven, our guiding star
Is leading US up to Thee.

,Gfe Gov. Yates, Of Illinois, has issued a
stirring proclamation, urging hearty res
ponse on the part of the people in all Sec
tons of the State, to the new call of the
President. He says that under all previous
calls, the total quotas Of that State amount
ed to Ia, O7S. At the date of the October
requisition the State had been credited with
1881, giving it u surplus Of S,l5l. The
State was subsequently given additional
credits. After summing the whole up, the
Governor declares that exclusive Of the old
regiments re-enlisting, on the first day OF
last January, all the quotas of Illinois had
been more than filled by the voluntary en-
listment of her gallant sons. The Governor
then gives list of the regiments which
have re-enlisted, which number thirty. eight
of Infantry and six of Cavalry.
This is good exhibit we think for our
neighbor State, and Gov. Yates has right
to be proud, as he seems to be, of the prompt
and patriotic response Of its citizens to the
calls of their country. All it has now to do
is to I'll up the quota Under the new call of
the President, on which it makes a large
advance Of all its re-enlisted volunteers
We are inclined to the opinion that Illinois,
Indiana and Iowa, are likely to stand in
the very front rank of patriotic States when
the summing up is finally made.

mon, we ncgligently spoke it as requiring
2OO, 900 in addition to the former requisition
of SOC, 600. This is in fact an error. The
first call was intended to add 100000 to the
number of men in the field. Afterwards
it was concluded to count the number of
refreshments of the soldiers in the field
rs part Of the quota of the several States.
These establishments add nothing to the
number in the army, and they have been
so much greater and general than was an
ticipated, that the actual increase of the
army was likely to be small The now call
is intended merely to make the former one
complete in fact-to produce the addition
to the effective force Of the army originally
intended. 1t is supposed now, that about
10000 OF the soldiers in the field will re-
enlist, thus leaving but SOC, 600 the number
OF the first call to be actually recruited at
home, or drafted if a Draft becomes neces
sary II any locality.
This is the true result of both calls. Both
together only complete the purpose and
design Of the first, and only increase the
army 100000, if, indeed, they shall do
SO much as that. There is really no addi
ton 10 the first demand. But 2OO, 900 vete
rams are re-enlisted. AS we have spoken
Of the matter as if there were u real in
crease Of the number to be sent into the
field, il is but proper that we should cor
rect the erroneous impression.

- The Richmond Wing insinuates pref
ty broadly that great many men are
focking to that city, seeking out "soft
places in which they can rest easy and
avoid the CONSUMPTION. It even says that
the members of the "Confederate'' Con-
gress, whose terms expire with the present
Session are fawning very significantly
upon JEFF. Davis, and evincing a very pa
triotic desire to serve the public anywhere
but IN the field. 1t suggests that there are
not places for all. It therefore advises this
class OF devoted patriots to stop PLAYING
this game of hide-and-seek with the Con-
scription, aud repair to its Office. buy a
copy Of the Wing, and peruse attentively
the following lines of Byron, which it
quotes as follows:
"A soft place for substituted men.
Seek out-less often sought than found
A soldiers grave, for thee the best.
Then look around ana choose thy ground
And take thy rest

meant to be cruel or cynical, or ironical to.

notion of inviting men to seek, not the

viewed in any other light than as a sole
cism in the structure of Government. 1t
would be substantially provision for its
own dissolution, without the sanction or
agreement Of the power which created it.
But I am not at liberty to extend this
discussion. may remark, in closing that
there were those in the Convention which
framed the Constitution, and in the Con-
ventions of the States which ratified it, who
objected to it because it created a national
consolidated or supreme Government o.
the United States. There was no differ
ence of opinion then, as to the character of
the government which the Constitution
created, but the ground Of its opponents
was that it did not conform to their views
Of what it should be. The counsel has re-
ferred in his argument to the resolutions
of the Legislatures Of Virginia and Ken
lucky, passed in 1898, as giving sanction
TO the doctrine Of the right Of State at any
time to lnterpOse its authority to prevent
or provide u remedy for the unconstitu-
tional exercise of authority on part of the
General Government, and that they sane
ton what is called the right of nulliiica-
ton, or even of secession. cannot assent
to the proposition that, properly UNDER
stood, they justify such q conclusion. The
history of these resolutions is we'll known
to the American people. They were de-
signed for special political object, which
was effected, in part at least, through their
lnstrumentallty. They affirmed that the
States being parties to the constitutional
| compact, Tin case of deliberate, palpable.
| and dangerous exercise of powers not
granted by the compact, have right and
are in duty bound to interpOse to prevent
the progress Of the evil" A DISTINGUISHED
statesman has we'll observed, in comment
ing on these resolutions, that 1.-THE sort OF
interposition intended was left in studied
obscurity." But Mr.. Madison, who was
the author of the resolutions adopted by
the Virginia Legislature, in his report TO
that body in 1893, asserts directly that no
