j William h Seward.

ssg Occasional, correspondent of the Phiiadel.
phia Press, speaking Of Secretary Seward,
says: ~ ~ AF4 is
shall never forget these words, nor the
manner in which he uttered them: "Time
aloneis necessary to heal our woun-s These
southern people will come back in peace, and
IN obedience. They. have been defeated by
the ballot box and on the battle-f field. Having
resisted the one and resorted to the other, they
are Low left completely PROSTATE; and in this
condition they have neither interest nor real
inclination to renew a conflict which has only
brought beggary to their households. destIuc-
ton to their favorite institution and ruin to
their colossal fortunes. On our part. having
proved our strength, it is right that we should
now prove our wisdom. Patience, forbear-
ance, magnanimity-tbese are the instrument
talities which, backed by unlimited and unex-
asmpled strength, will re-establsh the Repub
lie on enduring foundations"
Mr.. Seward has always been distinguished
for his collcquial powers. His essays,
speeches and public documents are models OF
composition Everything that comes from
him is finished and polished. His use OF the
English language is unsurpassed by any Amer
lean writer. But few men in our country have
been soindustrious, and the caamities which
have recently fallen upon him have enlisted
the warmest sympathies Of his countrymen Of
all political shades, and disarmed partisan wit
icism OF its sharpest sting. His name will live
in history through all coming time, and flu
ture generations viii be taught to esteem him
as one Of the most able and patriotic of Amer
lean Statesmen. s15i .loss S

Mr.. Lincoln and Jeff. Davis,
New York correspondent Of the London

A New York correspondent of the London
Spectator asks in one Of his last letters:
WAS there ever more striking contrast
THAI that between the close OF the public ca
reers OF the two foremost men i'm this tremen-
dous conflict? One, careless OF his lite, and
dying upon the summit Of success, mourned
by great nation and eliciting unprecedent
respect and sympathy from all Christendom I;
the other, having led his followers to destruc-
ton, arrested as he "skedaddled'' across
corn fed to save his neck, in his wite's petit
coats" The Spectator adds, editoriaily: aThis
Republic, which was supposed 10 be absorbed
10 trade and agriculture, energated by wealth
and prosperity, incapable OF the efforts and sac
riices which are required by war--this Reput-
tic has already shown itself upon battle fields
the rival of the Republics Of Rome and
Greece. Like the Grecian Republics, It has
already had its two Nervic wars-its Persian
and its Peoponnesian war. The war tfl774
70. 1882, which created nationality. and the
war of 1851 to 1895, which has put an end 10
slavery, has engraved its name 10 the frs:
class among the records of martial glory.
That is enough for 1t. God grant that IL may
be able to stop without going further in this
career Of blood and dangerv

INTERESTING Discovery. The recsnt
demonstration in Italy in honor Of Dante has
brought about the discovery Of the long-con-
cealed remains Of the great poet. They were
found hidden in a secret cavity in the wall Of
chapel in Rayenna, which contains Dante's
monument, and were positively identified by
means OF written scroll deposited in the cof
Nm, and BY Inscriptions on the ccfin lid. 1t is
believed that the remains were hidden In this
mural sepulchre in 1877, to save them from
the hands Of Cardinal Corsi, who was In
triguing to gain possession OF them. As it is
nearly six centuries since the soul Of the great
poet passed from its earthly tenement one
cannot help wishing that his sacred dust may
now be allowed peacefully to mingle with its
parent earth.

The game was very closely contested as win
be seen by the score, and very finely played
on both sides. The playing was decidedly
the best we have ever seen in the city, and
our boys may we'll be proud of their victory
over such excellent players. s.eas ~F
Owing to the high wind in the face Of the
players, very few telling hits were made. The
Bowdon Club were naturally at aslight dis
advantage in playing upon, their antagonists
grounds, but we trust our boys will be melted
to renewed exertions to maintain the ascen-
dency when they come to meet their compel
it0rs away from home. ms laH
Base Bali is a noble game, and like boating,
inclines oar youth towards sobriety and ath-
leticexercises, and we wish our citizens would
take more interest in encouraging 1t, both by
their presence and by c6ntributions. The field
now used as ball ground, or some better one.
should be purchased BY subscription, and re-
served for that purpose, and thoroughly level
led aud put insorder. Our people cannot do
too much TO encourage outdoor sports which
require high moral and physical training. 1t
Is not for the amusement simply, that young
men seek these sports, but to satisfy the crav-
ing for something to expend heir surplus
energy upon, 'and how much better is it ex-
pended upon athletic exercises than upon rum
shops and gambling houses. Let us recollect
then that we are not merely encouraging
amusemenis, but that we are turning our
youths into athletic, energetic, patient and de-
termlned men, changing the crude iron into
steel D "A w AZ A
We noticed but few ladies present, while in
other places they attend in large numbers. II
they knew what magnificent exhibition
game Of ball affords Of supple forms and un-
studied graceful posturing, they could not be
kept away. We like their presence as II
tends to keep up courteous and gentle spirit
between the contestants.
