EXtrADreiia aGTy Exhibition.
Popular Feeling,
From the Richmond Exam

From the Richmond Examiner.
Two very extraordinary exhibitions Of
popular feeling are now to be witnessed
respectively in TIE north and il the south
In the former they have loan before the
people, which goes of with rapidity an
precedented in the history of such affairs
The sale of bonds in ali the states is de-
clared to reach an aggregate of several
millions day. The loan is rendered thus
popular by the small denomination Of the
donds, the high interest they bear, but
more especially by the general belief which
prevails that the war IS nearly at an end.
and that the present is the last loan IN SO
tempting a form which will be offered
to the public.
At the south a popular subscription is
just set on foot, which promises 10 outstrip
the northern project in the enthusiasm OF
the response which it elicits The sub
scription which. at the suggestion Of the
public, has been opened by the secretary
of the treasury, is quite different in form.
It proposes donations to the government
of funds and property in every form. i
large capitalists leaders OF with q sub
scription of 100000 in currency: coup-
ling his prcRer with the condition that
24 other persons will make Ike dona-
ton. The challenge will be accepted, and
the S5,000,00 thus realized by. the gov
ernment will be employed in paying of
General Lees srmy.
Extremely liberal subscriptions have
also been made Of confederate tonds, sill
vor plate, commissary supplies and other
commodities OF ike value The striking
feature Of these donations Is that they are
absolute aids to the cause, for when the
government IS net required to account in
the future.
From the indications manifested in every
direction, these voluntary donations, these
gift offerings Of The people bid fair to be
very considerable in amount, and will
possibly reach several hundred millions Of
dollars in value
An important part of the scheme con-
templates a contribution Of rations for
General Lees army, upon plan SO simple
and prompt in It's execution, as to insure
success.
These exhibitions of patriotic li6erality
will have great effect upon the army,
and through the army upon the campaigr
about to open in terrible earnest When

Of the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vests could DO 10 more.

Ever yelling out of stone,
There are purple buds and golden.

Loves and prospeFs you and me,
While he values thrones ths highest,
But as bubbles "a the sea.
Man, appraised above his felloys,
Oft icrgcts his fellows ihen,
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That YOUR meanest binds are men,
Men by labor, men by feeling.
Men by thought, and men by fame.
Claiming equal rights to sunshine,
IN mans ennobling name.
There are foam embroidered oceans,
There arc little rceG-clad rius,
There are feeble, inch high sapiings,
There are cedars on the hills;
God, who counts 10y souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers YOU ard me-.
Fer to him all vain Distinctions

Toiiing hands alone are builders
Ola nations wealth Or fame;
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and iattened on the same:
By the sweat Of others forehcads,
Living only 10 rejoice
While the poorman's : outraged freedom
VaInly lifted up its voice.

Born with lovclire ess ard light.
