THE RETURN OF PEACE.

Hang ont the banners
Shout glad hosannas-
Peace throws halo round every star,
Let the guns rattle
Echoes Of battle
Sound the glad news to nations afar.
Victory has crowned US
Peace smiles around us
Nature re-blooms meath her life-giving ray
Each star is brighter
Each heart is lighter
Welcoming back the ng-looked for day
Shout with glad voices
Each heart reioices-
Every dark cloud of foul treason has fed,
Soldiers and Seamen-
Al of them freemen-
Let them go home-rebelIi0n is dead !
Thanks to our "tars" brave,
Out on oceans wave,
Floating our "old flag" meath every sky.
Thanks to each soldier
None could be bolder--
Theirs be the name that never will die

General JEFF. Thompson s Farewell
Speech.

General Jeff. Thompson as we are re-
minded, kindly treated many Union
prisoners, and even General Butler in
terestcd himself for his exchange when
d prisoner in our hands. General jeff.
made speech to his soldiers at Jack
sonport, Arkansas, upon surrendering
them, which is reported in a st. Louis
journal. and is very characteristic Of the
man. 1t is too long for us to reprint,
but there are some lively passages which
are worth attention:
"Many Of the 5000 men I new see around
me- very many of you, have been skulking
for the last three years in the swainps with
in few miles Of our own homes-skulking
duty-and during that time have not seen
your own children. | see many faces about
me that have not been seen by mortal man

ore Of you responded. A few days later,
when Colonel Davis and Captain Bennett
Of General Dodge's staff, bore dispatches to
me from that general, again attempted 10
call about me enough Of you to make res
pectable show, and how many of these brave
5000 men reported at the call One sore
eyed man nth green goggles. But you rally
like brave and gallant men around Uncle
Sans commissary stores, and | now come
to surrender you, and hope you will make
better citizens than you have soldiers:
"Those Of you who had arms, with very
few exceptions, have left them at home,
and those who had Government horses have
failed to report them here. Now let me
say to you one and ALL those Of you
who have retained your arms, as soon as
you get home take them to the nearest mil
itary post and deliver them up, Or burn
them, or get rid of them in some manner,
for as sure as there is a God in heaven if
they are found in your houses, just so sure
will your houses be burned to the ground /;

I once asked a Turkish gentleman with
whom | had the good fortune to be on terms
of great intimacy, whether he did not admit
that Mohammedanism was in itself opposed
to what the Western Franks are pleased to
call progress? His reply was just and
spirited. He referred me at once to the
splendid story Of the Spanish Arabs, and
enlarged with much dignity and good sense
on the notorious fact that they were for
some centuries perhaps the most learned
and enlightened people in the world. The
Egyptians and Syrians also he added, not
to mention the Persians, had at several
periods of their history made notable ad-
Yancement in science; but their govern
ment had been unfavorable, and they had
necessarily retrograded. A Turk can hard
y speak long without saying something
quaint and sententious; so that ! was not
surprised when my friend, looking d.'mure-
y at me, concluded thus: Since, also, the
Christians are often avaricous, selfish, in
temperate, and unjust-qualities which,
am informed, arc much condemned by your
Sacred Writings Go you not think it pos
sihlc that Mohammedan Of our age might
take example from them and break through

TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT.
IMPORTANT GOLD Discoveries.

Reputcd to be the richest and most e1ten-
size eUer found IN the northern coun-
try.
In our last, we gave an inkljng of ru-
mors concerning the discovery Of gold
in the Coeur d Alene mountains; but as
the reports were not as definite as we
could wish--a disposition having been
manifested by the knowing ones, to hide
from the public what they knew of these
new gold felds-we referred to the mat
ter with cautious brevity, resolving to
be on the alert for further particulars.
What began in whisperings has develop
ed into the widest enthusiasm and ex
citement. Occur d'Alene" is on the
tongues of all who are foot-loose, while
those who are chained down by business
engagements can scarcely brock their
feverish inclination to rush away with
the multitude. There is no doubt but
parties here have been told, upon con-
dition of secresy, many facts OF which
we are not in possession, as every day
platoons Of horsemen, with blankets,
provisions and tools, may be seen max
ing hurried departures. There IS gen.
eral hustle of men buying horses and Sc
lecting outfits, whose countenances show
that 'sEureka" is the sentiment Of their
hearts, who will shortly follow. Express
man Davidson arrived this morning from
Orc Fino, and states that the fever has
reached the mountains, and prevails all
along the road Ceur d'Alene, from
the mountain to the valley. is the watch
word now
Our investigations, which were prose-
cuted in the most reliable quarters, re-
suit In this That three distinct gold
Welding basins have been discovered,
all Of aohjch produce coarse gold, and
one aIoae IS of as great ertent as the en-
tire 1lacer diggtngs Of the Boise country,
and far erceeds in richness, Florence in
its palniest days, which many supposed
to be the richest spot Of auriferous earth
ever discovered. These new diggings
are situated between latitudes At and AZ
and longitudes ia and 116, being at
the farthest point, not more than l23
miles from Lewiston.

with characteristic confidence for the re-
turn of commercial prosperity. They
must be right. for the general conditions
out Of which the trade arose must prob
ably recur, and with them the general
result. The basis Of the whole reason
ing is this: That cotton makes the
best clothing for the chief part of the bu-
man race, and that cotton goods can be
manufactured more cheaply in Lanca-
shire than anywhere else. Given the
material, and the Lancashire mill owners
will find all the rest-capital, energy
skill, and organization. 1t was only for
want Of material that their trade was
paralyzed, and the material will certainly
be forthcoming some day or other The
worlds trade is too good to be lost. The
profit is not all ours Some must grow
while others spin; and the growers may
make as good thing of it as the spin
ners. Only it concerns them both that
the material may be cheap as we'll as ex-
cellent It must never be forgotten
that we owed our marvellous command of
the worlds market to the low prices at
which we sold our wares. Cotton cloth
ing satisfies the wants Of millions by its
convenience and it's suitableness, but
unless we can undersell all native manu-
facturers it will be manufactured on the
spot. To set Lancashire on it's legs
again we want not only good cotton, but
good cotton cheap.
How are we to get this article supplied
once more, and supplied too, so steadily
that the trade may not be disturbed by
any violent or unaccountable fuctua-
tions of prices? That question is some
what an enigma still. Cotton is coming g
in, and the anticipation of unknown sup.
plies from America enhances, artificial
ly, the cheapness of the material. But
the prospects Of industry in the cotton
States are as obscure as ever The in
dustrial condition Of those countries
must be determined by their political con-
dtion, and what that would be no OBJ
server of American affairs would be very
willing to predict. Still, there will be
the strong temptation Of gain operating
on all parties TO restore SO lucrative
an industry will be everybody's interest.
Already We see that in the speculations
of American fnanciers cotton is sure to
find place. Then there ars other coun-
tries which have been so enriched and
tertilized by our purchases during the
last four years that they ought now to
have an organized industry of their own.
Neither Turkey nor Egypt could we'll
afford to lose it's cotton plantations,
though they might we'll afford to ship
cotton for Liverpool at less price than
they have recently received. But some
how or other the material will come,
and all the more surely for the end of
the American war

Washington special says: The state
ment that the President declines all prose
cutions for his personal safety are erro-
neous- He has not given any special
directions for guards to be placed abont
his person, but he approved the precau-
ton when taken by the authorities which
embraced the continuance upon duty of
the late Presidents body guard, com
manded by Lieut.. Jameson. of Ohio
This company consists of one select
man from each county in Ohio, number
ing nearly one hundred men A suffi-
cient force of the guard is upon duty at
all times, and visitors who call upon the
President at his temporary mansion are
confronted Immediately upon approach
ing the door by three or four soldiers,
who do not permit him to advance further
until his name has been sent in and order
given by the President to admit him In
the hall adjoining the reception room
are also found soldiers of genteel de-
pertinent, who quietly remain about the
entrance within few feet of Mr. John
son. Sentinels also surround the house
upon the street and in the lot upon
which the building stands.
