THE LOST CHIEF,

Re hlled the natiop's eye and hearA
An hon6rcd, loved, familiar name;
30 much brother, that his fame
eeemed Of our lives common part
His towering figure, sharp and spare,
Was with such nervous tension strl~
Az on each strained sinew swung
Tho burden OF . peoples care.
His changing face what pen can draw
Pathetic, kindly, droll or Bternf
And with glance 90 quick TO learn
The Utmost truth Of all he saw.
Pride found no idle space 10 spawn
Her fancies in his busy mind;
His worth-like health or airEcould ~
No just appraisal till withdrawn.
He was his Oountry's-not his ownl
he had no wish but for her veal;
Nor for himself could think or feel
But AZ q tabOrer for her throne.
Her flag upon the heights Of power,
Stainless and unassailed 10 place
To this one end his earnest face
Was bent through every burdened hour.
Tho veil that hides from our dull eyea
hero's worth, Death only lifts;
While he is with us, all HIS gifts
Find hosts to question, few TO prize.
But done the battle-won the strife,
When torches light his vaulted tomb,
Broad gems fash out and crowns Hume
The clay-cold brows unlocked In life.
And men of whom the world will talk
For ages hence, may noteless move;
And only, as they quit US, prove
That giant souls have shared our walk:
For Heaven-aware what follios Turk
In our weak hearts-their mission done,
Snatches her loved ones from the sun
In the same hour that crowns their work.
o, loved and lost Thy patient toll
Had robed our cause In Victory's light;
Our Country stood, redeemed and bright,
With not slave on all her soil
Again DER Southern towns and towers
The eagles of our nation flew;
And az the weeks to summer grew
Each day n new success was ours.
mid peal of bells, and cannon bark,
And shouting streets with bags abloom~
Sped The shrill arrow Of thy doom,
And, in an instant, all was dark
Thick clouds around us seem 70 press;
The heart throbs quickly-then is still:
Father, tits hard 70 say, "Thy will
Be done !" In such an hour as this
A martyr TO the cause Of man,
His blood is freedoms eucharist,
And in the worlds great hero-list
His name shall lead the van
Yea raised ON Faiths white wings, unfurleb
In heavens pure hight Of him We say:
"He fell upon the SELF day

GREEN CLAY SMITH ought not to be mis-.
represented, at least by journals protesting
to be progressive. As we understand it,
under Gen. PALMER's pass system, the ne.
groes of Kentucky are theoretically permitted
to seek employment where they choose. But
any man who hires negro "belonging" to
another is subjected to vexatious and ex-
pensive suit, uSler the laws Of the State. So
that, practically, the pass system drives the
negro out of the State, or into contraband
camps. Mr.. SMITH wants Gen. PALMER, or
some other authority, to intervene, for the
protection of himself and his neighbors
against the courts, so that they may be free
to hire such laborers as they choose.

When the army came In upon us like food,
and Government was obliged TO convert rnany
private residences into public Offices, rents
rose so suddenly and to such exorbitant rates
that great hardships were thereby imposed
upon hundreds Of Government clerks and
employees receiving fixed salaries, and very
moderate ones. But in the hsloyon days Of
peace and the steady increase of business
that are coming tho supply will keep nearer
to the demand, and the mutual interests Of
all will be promoted. We trust that instead
of sitting down and prophesying evil, our
citizens will be on the alert to assist in the
development of every sound enterprise that
promises to aid in the advancement Of the
material interests Of Washington, D @.
