Success.
After all. anothinr does q,

After all, 'tnothing does succeed like o
cess" Here we find the London Athenn,
which could never bc sufficiently contsmp
Gus towards our armies, now credited "
the following notice of Sherman's men,
in its zeal as one must confess, little OF
shooting the mark, if snything: aa ''N'
Except the squadrons which chsSgec |
Worcester and Naseby, no army was ever =
in the field like that Of Sherman. Many
the rank and file we're gentlemen; poets, wri
ters, advocates, preachers, bankers, Landlords,
such men as would mix in Lsndon Society
and be memberspf Pail Mall clubs. Many Of
the cavalry rode their own mares; many OF
the infantry had bought their own guns
They were persons of estate; accustomed to
good houses and rich living. They bad
friends in high places, and luxurious homes
awaiting their return. Some Of the best regi-
ments Of Massachusetts, and Western States
were in the camp. And they were strong 10
number as in spirits 10000 fighting men oi
the best blood of America, counted after oil
the non-effectives had been left behind. What
were they going to do? One th,ngwas clear;
they were, going to defy all military rules,
and at the risk Of their own lives TO enlarge
the art Of war"

Order from Gen. Howard.

Cen Howard issued on the cath ult, cir
cular to the officers and agents ofthe Freed
mans Bureau in South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. lie says he wishes to restore conf
dence between the property holders and the
colored laborers, and exhorts the avoidance
Of all offensive expressions in letters and re-
ports, of angry debates and important speech
eS, and caution on the part Of officers aot to
give way to anger at the temper of the white
inhabitants. lie adds
A true fricndlness to the freedman de-
mands that they be taught to look to the
property holders for employment. The pur-
chase and rental Of lands must come from the
same source On the part Of the employers,
it Is equally urgent and important to secure
the confidence Of the employees, Schools,
homesteads, rentals sales, church privileges,
shares in crops, good wages and kind treat
ment, arc inducements that can be offered.
Endeayor to convince them Of the practica-
billty Of these things, where the present
circumstances have filed their minds with
fOrebodings Of cvrl, and where old habits
make them heartily dsbelieve In free labor.
Have In mind examples of SUCCESS, moro or
less complete. One or two wto have worked
well for the first year will aid you. 1t will
be sometime before mstters will settle so that
there will not be jors, quarrels and some acts
Of violence but do not believe this is the
general wish or desire of the people, white or
black Our object Is to do simple justice,
doing every thing we can that will contribute
to good order and good government.

from the slumbering ashes of the friends

that life itself, is but the journal of death,
and that we are at best, but mourners in the

wasting hearts, while no sound is heard from
his footsteps. And feeling then, that death
is unavoidable, how important it is that we
shape our course after him whose spirit has
SO recently and unexpectedly passed the por.

A FLOWER STORY. We are told that the
Duke of Tuscany was the first possessor
of a pretty shrub ofjessamine, and he was
so jeaIouSly fearful lest others sh9uld en-
Joy what be alone wished to possess, that
strict injunctions were given to his gard
encr not to give slip, not so much as q
single flower, to any person. To this
command the gardner would have been
faithful, had not love wounded him by
the sparkling eyes Of a fair but portion.
less peasant, whose want of dowry and
bis own poverty alone kept them from
the bymenial altar On the birthday OF
his mistress he presented her with nose
gay, and to render it more acceptable,
ornamcuted it with a jassamine. The poor
girl, wishing to preserve the bloom OF
this new flower, put it into the earth, the
branch remained green all the year. 10
the following spring it grew and was GOV.
cred with flowers. 1t flourished and
multiplied so under the fair nymph's cul-
tivation, that she was able to amass
little fortune from the sale of the precious
gift which love had made her, when
with sprig of jessamine in her breast,
she gave her hand and wealth to the
happy gardner of her heart. And the
Tuscan girls to this time preserve the
remembrance of this day by wearing .
nosegay of jessamine on their wedding
day, and they have proverb, which says
a young girl wearing this nosegay is
rich enough to make the fortune OF
poor husband. -...
