The Summer Days Are Gone.

Inc OuIQWeE UhyS hI6 UuAo'
The flowers that made the summer air,
So fragrant with their rich perfume,
Alas are gone, their leaves so fair
Lie faded in their autumn tomb.
The branches now are almost bare
Where summer song birds made theil
homes
Where trees are green, where flowers arc
fair,
Once more the happy birds have flown.
70 distant lands o'or sunny seas
The songsters bright have taken wing,
To MARBLE on that warmer breeze,
The notes they sang to usin spring.
Her autumn robe of red and brown
20 Once more the gliding year puts on,
And yonder sun looks colder down,
Since the bright days are gone.
5, The stars, the glory Of the night,
Lock on usstill with silvery eye.
Shine on US still us clear and bright, ~
But not from out the summer sky.
The chilly breezes Of the North, gs
Tell us it is no longer spring,
And Winters hand is reaching forth
To wither every yerdaut thing.
So even like the bisds, the flowers,
When dearest things Of life have flown,
Then in the heartsstleserted bowers
The naked branches stand alone.
Oh. then, alas! no breath Of spring
Can breathe the living verdure on,
No sun will shine, no birds will sing
III For ever is the summer gone.
But when the heart beats high and warm
Aod kindred hearts its throbbing share,
II heeas not winters clouds nor storm
But summer tarries always there.

LEE FoR DICTATOR.

The telegraph, some time since, an
nounced strong sentiment IN the Confed-
eracy in favor of taking the rebel govern
men, out of the present hands and vesting
it in a Dictator. The mail brings US
Eastern journals, in which extracts are
given from the Richmond papers, boldly
advocating the new measure. The Rich
mond Examiner, of January lst, in
lengthy TRADE against JEFF. Davis, accuses
him of incompetency. 1t says remedy
for all discomfort has suggested itself TO
the mind Of every man who thinks. and
has been advised by thousands of mouths
in the same breath. II is the creation Of
new officer, Chief, who
shall exercise supreme control over the
armies and military affairs of the Confed-
eracy, and the appointment of General
Lee TO be that officer. Such an act. if
made in good faith and solidly guarded
against counteracting influences, would
restore the public confidence and give the
country heart for a new effort equal to
that which it has hitherto made. 1t
would do more to bring down the price
of gold and restore faith in the currency
than any law Mr.. Trenholm can devise.
however wise in principle and however in
genIous in detail. The people would be
satisfied that their means would not be
thrown away that the best use Of their
blood and property would be made that
could be. The adoption o. such meas
ure would be the new birth of the South
ern Confederacy, but it must be real,
substantial measure, guaranteed by the
representatives of the nation not sham,
not a duplex general order creating an
other Beauregard or Johnston Depart
ment, under the control of the President.
and it must be adopted in time-tha, is to
say. now. We utter the general opinion,
but confess we see little encouragement to
suppose that the present Congress has the
decision of character necessary to give
it face. u..

SroNEwALL JAcKsoN's BARBARITY.-
Those who have been so ready to ascribe
very heroic qnality to Stonewall Jackson
will be somewhat taken back by the recen'
authentic confirmation of rumor which
was prevalent some time since, that 1t
rnce advocated the prosecution of the re-
bellion under the black flag. His life,
which has Just been published in London,
written BY Prof. R. L. Dabney, D. D., Of
Richmond. informs us, in very piou'
ST ain, that when the crisis of secession ap'
peared, jackson was one who tried to
unite 1.-THE Christian people" North and
South, in an effort TO stop the war. and
having failed in this. maintained that ''i'
was the true policy of the South to tax
no prisoners" as "the war was an ottenSt
against humanity so monstrous that il
outlawed those who shared its guilt be-
yond the pale of forbearance. 1t thu
appears that the great christian warrior"
Of the South cherished the notion
that the war itself - and not an!
individual act complained of-on tn,
part of the North, justified the rebel'
in treating Northern soldiers as out
laws, and subjecting them, whenever il
was possible, to wholesale system Of as
Sassination. Such views would seem tc
be, from the fervor and idolized character
of Stonewall jackson, the elimination o.
pro-slavery Christianity. But in truth
jackson was a, sheer fanatic; as much
worse than John Brown as the. inspira'
tons of slavery are worse than those o.
freedom. This, together with his good
military education, constituted his eff
cheney IN limited range of operations
but he was as far from being great Gen
eral as he was from being man Of Chris.

The Canadian people have been so de-
lighted with the the rebellion in this
country, as shown in their extravagant
symusthy for the South, that they have
apparently determined to get up q rebel
lion for their own enjoyment. The Pro-
yincial journals are filled with exciting
stories of an incipiept outbreak among the
French Canadians in the district OF Mont
morenc,, in Lower Canada, and the war
sp,rit is evidently beginning to stir the
siueeish Canadian blood. The apparent
cause of the outbreak, which is not fully
detailed in the journals, is the refusal OF q
class of workingmen in Lower Canada to
submit TO the draft which is now taking
place in the Provinces to raise militia for
The prevention of rebel incursions into the
ITnited States. III appears that the French
Canadian population are almost unani-
monslv favorable to the South, and con-
seou.n,ly opposed to the suppression Of
rebel raids. This is the cause Of their re-
bellion against the draft, and the conse'
ouent excitement throughout the country.
According to the latest advices the out
break has not yet assumed very formula
BILE character, but the indications are
threatening, and there is possibility OF
stirring up the old luminosity between the
French and the English clements OF Jana
dian society. About two hundred ship
carpenters of St. Roch seem IT, have in
augurated the movement, attacking the
CONSUMPTION officers and making them ny
for their lives. To dispense this gang, q
volunteer force, headed by Lieutenant
Colonel, marched to the scene of disturb
ance, but at the time Of writing the result
has not been received. The widest ru-
mors are prevalent throughout the Prov
inces, and the most extravagant stories
are current regarding the number and de-
signs of the insurgents. II is reported BY
the Quebec papers that the "rebels had
armed themselves and were preparing to
destroy the Montmorenci bridge, in order
to prevent the Government troops from
reaching them. The insurrection is said
10 be rapidly gaining strength, and the ex-
citement in respect to the result of the
meeting between the insurgents and the
troops is most intense. There is q posi-
billity, therefore, that our Canadian neigh
bors, who as people have done much in
their way to foster enmity between the
,wo sections Of this country, may lind
their rebellion battling coming home to
roost, Y. San.

THE NEW REBEn a1ovRMENr

The Richmond papers breathe ominous
threatenings of movement meditated by
General Lee, which. it is said. will change
the whole character of the war, and more
than balance the succession of Federal
victories that have so crippled the Con-
federacy. The New York San thinks it
Is not difficult TO penetrate the character
of this movement. General Lee is be-
coming Strengthened at Petersburg, all the
gasconade of Southern traitors and North
ern secession sympathizers to the contrary
notwithstanding. General Grant is clos
ing in upon his lines inch by inch, and
rendering his communications and sup
plies more difficult and precarious every
day. So long as the rebel General had
General Grants army alone to contend
against there was a chance that he could
indefinitely hold his own, BY the aid Of
engineering science But General Sher-
mans army now looms up from South
Carolina, to cooperate with Grant, and
unless General Lee can succeed in inaict-
ing stunning blow against one or the
other. he is lost. The new movement is
therefore an attempt to take advantage Of
circumstances aud fall upon Grant or
Sherman. The rebel papers and the
Washington. Baltimore and New York
secessionits hint at Northern invasion.
They imagine that General Lee will at
tempt TO do what General Hood has so
sianally failed to accomplISh-carry the
war northward. We are persuaded, how
ever, that Lee will scarcely venture to
adopt policy that would place the whole
Confederacy at the mercy Of the Federal
Generals, the same as Hoods advance
opened Georgia to Siberian. Then again.
Lee has neither supplies nor Transports
ton for Northern invasion, even in case
he chose to abandon Richmond and the
entire country behind hlm-and in case
the rebel conSpirators would permit him
to do so. The probability is that the
rebels will leave thin line in their front
at Petersburg, and either concentrate
against Sherman, or suddenly fall, some
dark night or foggy morning, upon some
point in General Grants long line, or else
make circuitous movement in our rear.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed, and
we entertain the most confident assurances
tina, General Grant viii not despise these
threa,enings of the enemy, and suffer him
self 10 be robbed of the fruits of his cam
paigns by the new mysterious confidence
game which the Richmond conspirators
are about to play off against him.
