"The Conquered Banner"
BY \ CONFEDERATE.

Turl that banner! for lis weary.
Round its Stuflis dropping dr,ury;
Iurl IT, fold it, ii is best;
For there's not II man to wave 1t,
And there's not n sword to save II,
Ana there's not one left to lave IL
In the blood which heroes gave 1T;
And its foes now scorn and braveit;
Fun II, hide it, let it rest.
Take the banner down. tits tatterod;
Broken In Its stan aud shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Ger whom IL Heated high.
Oh! tits hard Tor us to fold II!
Hard jUt think there's none to hold It;
Hard that those who once unrollcd II
Now must iurl ii with sigh.
Furl that banner. furl ID sadly;
Once ten thousand hailed II gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Sworc 1t would forever wave
Sworc that focman's sword could never
Hearts like theirs cntwined disseyer
I'M that flag would float forever
O'er their freedom or their grave.
Furl it, for the hands that graspcd it,
And the hearts that 1ondly claspcdit,
Cold and dead are lying now;
And that banner, ii is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
its people in their woe
For though conquered they adore it;
Low the cold dead iiaiiuS inat bore IL,
Weep Tor those that fell before it,
Pardon those who trailcd and tureit,
And OH widely they doplorc it,
Now to iurl and fold ii 50.
Furl that banner! true Ills CORY,
Yet It's wrcuthcd around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its lanc on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages-
Shall go sounding down through ages
full its folds though now we must.
Furl that banner! softly, slowly;
Treat ii gently 1T is holy
For it droops above the dead;
Touch il not-unfold 1t never,
For it droops there Juried forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead.

Dorsey Indicted.

The grand Jury of this county found five
bills of Indictment against G. Volney Dor
sey, late Treasurer of the State of Ohio,
based upon the charges of enbezzlement of
the funds made in the report of the Com
mission appointed TO examine the Treasury
last summer Each Indictment relates to
distinct transaction in violation of the law.
1t appears to be generally understood that
hi, trial will be adjourned to future session
Of the Court. -- Criss

HOME AND ERIENnR.

Oh there's power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed N;
Nor need we roam TO bring A home:
Though few there be that md n;
we seek too high for things close by,
=. And lose what Nature gave us:
for lie hath here no charms so dear
as home aud friends around us.
We of destroy the present 10y
,,Eor iuLure hopcs--and praise them:
Whilst nowets ns sweet hIoofn Mt our feet
II wed but stoop to raise tsem.
Tor things so fat still greater are
When youths bright spell hath bound us.
But soon we're taught that earth hath nauaht
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time OF need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
Do show us TIL that come what Will,
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all We're night, II but the light
From friendships alter crowned as,
'Twould prove the bliss OF earth was this
Our home and friends around US.

News Itens.


News from the Dry Tortugas to the 22d plt,
received via the steamer Webster, which apiv-
ed at Fortress Monroe Friday, reports that DR..
Mudd. one Of the conspirators in the assassina-
ton Of President Lincoln, attempted to escape
from the island by secretiug himself in the coal
bunk Of the steamer Thomas A. Scott, butwas
discovered, and an officer Of the steamer Arrest
ed for aiding him in his attempt. Mudd, it
will be remembered, was assigned to duty on
his arrival at the Tortugas as physician, hut
now has been put to work at wheeling sand.
General Humphreys. of Mississippi, was
pardoned by President johnson lately. This
act Of the President settles the question as
to the eligibility of General Humphreys to
the Office of Governor of Mississippi, to which,
in all probability, he was elected on Tuesday
week.
Mr.. Walter Lcnox, formerly Mayor of Wash
ington, has just been released from Fort McHen-
nv. after having been confined there for a period
of fourteen months, on the charge, or suspicion.
of being Rebel emissary.
The negro suffrage clause, which it was pro-
posed to embody in the State Constitution of
Connecticut, has been defeated at the polls by
six thousand majority.
On Thursday, the 10Th of this month, an
eclipse of the sun will take place, which will
be total at Charleston, South Carolina The
observation at Washington will be about one
third.
The Augusta Georgia. Chronicle states that
a despatch has been received at Atlanta which
announces that Mr.. Stephens has been paroled,
and that he would soon return to his home.
1t is stated that President Johnson is shortly
to leave Washington on trip South, which
will probably be extended to Richmond, Viii
mington and Charleston
The Louisiana Democratic Convention has
endorsed President johnson, recommended a
memorial to Congress for compensation for
losses sustained by emancipation, and asks for
a general amnesty and restoration of confsca-
ted property.

Secession Annulled.

It is now certain that the several State Con-
ventiods Of North Carolina, South Carolina,
Mississippi and Alabama have each passed an
ordinance declaring the Ordinance Of Secession
of 1861 null and void. They are disposed also
to acquiesee in the abolition of slavery, and to
adopt the necessary measures consequent on
the change
North Carolina has already passed unani-
mously Tie following; THAT slavery and in
voluntary seryitude, otherwise than for crime
whereof the party shall have been duly convict
ed, shall be and is hereby forever prohibited
within the State
This is coming to the work of reconstruction
with much more elacrity than could have been
anticipated. The results show that President
johnson understands the Southern character
When the people embark in hazardous game
aud are beaten, they do not hesitate to pay the
penalty. They will soon adapt themselves t.
