REORGANIZATION


Since the adjournment of the Legislature the
civial war which had desolsted our country has
terminated in the complete triumph of the Gov
eminent and the suppression Of the rebellion.
The evacuation OF Richmond, and the cspiula-
ton of Lees army, were rapidly followed by the
surrender of every other rebel army 10 the field,
and irregular guerrilla warfare almost entirely
passed away in a few weeks The suppression
of the.rebellion and the subjugation of armed
rebels seems 10 be complete, while every rebel
State has confessed to the irreIievsbe destruc-
ton of the institution Of slavery. The people
of the South have been beaten and overpowered
in the field they have wholly lost their proper
ty in slaves much Of their country has been
overrun and made desolate by the march and
ravage Of great armies; poverty and wretched-
ness have been brought home TO large
classes who before had lived in wealth and luz
ury large numbers Of their population have
persisted in the conflict, and there is prevailing
among them greas evaporation and bitterness
which time alone can assusge.
The great majority. however, appear to regard
the verdict of the war irreversible, and to
promptly accept the situation one they can
not modify or put aside. But While the heresy
of State sovereignty has been extirpated, and
the questions involved in the confic, settled by
the arbitrament OF arms. j. Is yet Of the great

be adjudieatei and determined by the highest

100000 to Feed Negroes!

From official reports of the Freedmen
Bureau, it appears that there are ten thou
sand freedmen received rations from the
Government in each of the following
States: Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissipi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Ten
nessee, and Kentucky. This will make
cue hundred and twenty thousand who are
thus fed-a small number, it is true, to
the whole body of four million blacks,
but a large number to be put as pension
ers upon the public bounty. Each ra-
ton given out is valued at 30 cents, and
at that rate, to support the above number
of blacks, it will cost the taxpayers o0er
thirteen millions dollars ($13, 100000
per year To this must be added the
expense of the Freedmep's Bureau
new department in our government
which, with its agents, assistants, clerks,
surgeons, transportation, &C., will swell
this item of taxation, under Republican
policy, to at least thirty million dollars
This sum is money from the people to
support one hundred and twenty thou
sand of the most worthless negroes in the
South. Under the present programme,
this drain upon the treasury must con-
tinue for ages to come Washington EG-

chester, on Wednesday. The Amoskeag,
We believe, has larger capital than any
other company in New England. AL
though only small portion Of its machi-
merry has been running, it has earned and
divided ten per cent. on its capital of three
million dollars, during the year ending
June 80, and besides reserved working
capital of $l,200,000, has surplus of
half a million of dollars. A considerable
portion of the machinery has been recently
set in motion, and it is now operating
about forty thousand out of its one hun
dred thousand spindles. The Manches-
ter Print Works did very large business
during the war. For the year ending
May 3lst, its sales amounted to $6,000,-
900. The profits, however, were not so
large as the year previous, being only
thirteen per cent. on its capital of 81 $780,
600. The dividends for the year were,
however, twenty four per cent, the reserv-
ed profits having been drawn upon to the
extent of about $4,000. 1t still has
handsome reserve, and is now doing
large and profitable business, running
upward of thirteen hundred of its nine
teen hundred looms on delaiues. Boston

Beautiful Anecdote.

with which even child may answer by
it the gravest of questions, and solve the
sublimest mysteries, was perhaps never
giveo than at an examination of deaf

London. A little boy was asked in
writing, "Who made the world ?"
He took the chalk and wrote under.
meath the question, "In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth p
The clergyman inquired in a similar
manner, "Why did Jesus Christ come
into the world p A smile of delight and
gratitude rested on the countenance of
the little fellow as he wrote:
"This is faithful saying and worthy
of all acceptance that Jesus Christ came
into the world to save sinners"
A third was then proposed, evidently
adapted to call the most powerful feel
ings into exercise, "Why were you
born deaf and dumb, when can hear
and speak ?"
"Never," said an eyewitness, "shall 1
forget the look of resignation which sat
upon his countenance as he took the
chalk and wrote Given so, Father, for
it seemed good in Thy sight"

Get Of That Stump,

Among the paroled rebel soldiers who
came up on the steamer Lady Gay on
Tuesday, was man little over seven feet
and half high. He started out with the
Missouri troops at the commencement of
the war and stuck to Thorn till the "dog
was dead, and never received a scratch.
Soon after he was mustered into the rebel
service the regiment to which he belong
ed appeared before the Colonel on dress
parade, and the Colonel, who prided him.

OF his men, cast his eyes along the line
with smile of dissatisfaction until they
rested on the towering form of the tall
Missourian, when he knit his brows and
called out fercely in thunder tones, sect

or I'll order you under arrest" The SOL
diors looked at each other, wondering
what the Colonel meant, but no one NOV

disrespect, he fairly boiled with rage
and, advancing to the big soldier, he ex-
claimed "What in the ID are You

replied, con my feet, Colonel.' The Col.
onel was taken back as he surveyed this
tall specimen of humanity from head to
foot in blank amazement he mumblod

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-A contemporary
vouches for the following story: "A
young physician, who was in love with
fair patient, but was unable from bashful-
ness to reveal his passion, wrote her
passionate declaration, and left it on the
table, where the servant naturally enough
thought it was prescription, and took it
to the chemists, who the next day sent it
back to the poor doctor with an apology
that he was "out of the ingredients neces.
sary to make up what was wanted"

THE CARELESS WORD.
Twas but word, careless word,
As thistle-down it seemed so light;
1t paused a moment on the air,
Then onward winged its needless fight.
Another lip caught up the word,
And breathed it with naughty sheer;
It gathered weight as on it sped,
That careless word, in its career.
Theu rumor caught the flying word,
And busy gossip gave it weight,
Until that little word became
A vehicle of angry hate.
And then that word was winged with fire,
Its mission was thing of pain;
For soon it fell like lava drop
Upon a wildly tortured brain.
And then another page of life,
With burning, scaldng tears was blurred,
A load of care was heavier made,
1t added weight, that careless word.
That careless word, how it scorched
A fainting, bleeding, quivering heart,
Twas like hungry fire, that searched
Through every tender part.
How wildly throbbed that aching heart,
Deep agony its fountains stirred;
1t calmed-but bitter ashes mark
The pathway of that careless word.

WORDS.

Each word used In every day life is replete
with iustruction-contalns an interesting
history. Like many beautiful and once
veneratcd customs, words are often used
by those who never dream of their ancient
aud holy significance. Like many old
songs, full Of melody, which by repetition
have lost their charm, so, many words
now fall upon the ear, without awaken
ing the old feelings of pleasure and admi-
ration. "Their glory has departed !'
The primitive words of language are
few; language is made copious by the
use of derivatives and compounds from
the primitive. So words form families,
whose genealogies and histories vie in in
terest with those of mankind. Like man,
the word whose ancestry is most ancient
and illustrious, does not always keep its
lofty station; but is sometimes degraded
to such mental uses, that its origin is lost
sight Of and forgotten. Like man, too,
occasionally a word of vulgar and plebei-
an origin is elevated to rank its intrin-
sic merits do not justify. The word
Methodist will illustrate this last remark.
1t was first applied as Il term of ridicule
to those who left tho Apostolic Church
for one ii modern manufacture. In the
extreme of zeal, the members of this So
ciety assumed dress as markedly diff
fereut from the dress of most men, rs that
of the Quakers. So their enemies called
them from the mettodtcui manner of
their dress; and though this once small
sect has grown to be u powerful one, yet
it still keeps the name first used as a
sneer
The reader must not think the study
of words task which can be neglected
with impunity. 1t is the correct use and
choice Of words which constitutes, Gin a
great measure,) the difference between a
polished gentleman aud vu gar clown.
All who have been eminent in literature
and in educated society, have made the
study of words AN important part of their
scholarship We all k, ow that COM

some graceful dress, wear an unusual air
oil elegance. What was plebeian, becomes

poem, We find TIE thoughts we have been

however, The likeness stops; he has
clothed this th ought in all the splendor
of one who fully understands the melody

that we should have expressed the same
thought in such tame and awkward words
that it would never attract the notice oil
