The prize offered by Rev. p. p. ingalls,
for the best song or poem on the subject Of
the Iowa Orphans Home, was awarded to
to an Ohio lady, profsssedly "Nellio Mitch
ell, Box 26s, Piqua, Ohio" The State Reg
ister says:
uAThis contribution was the cynosure Of all
eyes. 1t was gem. II was miracle Of
literary polish end ability. Tho Secretory
Of State decided that it had superior merits.
Such was Ne decision OF Judge Cole, Judge
Dillon, Judge Wright, Judge Lowe, and all
the other judges. including the local Of the
.ssets Rsgises. It came to pass, however,
that young lady of this city asserted, upon
the faith of an accurate memory, that the
song was stolen by Nellie Mitchell from one
Of the famous poets Of the world. The
young lady was right. The song was hook
ed, distracted, plaglarized by the female pc.
ct of Piqus and she will not, therefore get
the hundred dollars. The first verse Of the
plaglarized song is as follows
'sThe blood that flowed At Lexington,
Andicrimsoned bright Champlain,
Streams still along the Southern Gulf,
And by the lakes Of Maine:
II flows in veins that swell above
Pacinc's golden sand:
And throbs in hearts that love and grieve

Slowly but surely the work Of rsconstruc-
ton is going on. Fighting is at an end,
and people are turning their thoughts to
peaceful pursuits, returning to their homes,
cultivating their crops, rebuilding their fen
ces, and seeing about earning subsistence
for their families. The soldiers are fast
finding their way back to homes long de-
serted A correspondent Of the New York
Tribune mentions seeing Captain in Lees
late army at his home blowing up small
garden lot with his war horse. He had lost
I'll his slaves and most Of his personal prop
erty. But he had wife and children whom
he was bound to support, and had gone to
work like man.
There is no craftsmanship like that shap.
cd by necessity and common sense. Labor
is the truc way to restore the South. Every
man in the Southern States should follow
the example of this Captain. Out Of the
soil, with industry applied to it, comes the
wealth that y 70 restore the South to order
and prosperity. II may go hard At first to
those unused to labor to attempt to earn
their own living, but SO soon as they show
the disposition 10 help themselves, they viii
find others ready to assist them. Let the
people themselves with On elasticity Oi
spirit recover from their depression o.
spirit, and be hopeful Of better times, which
are sure 10 result from the restoration o.
peace, the re.opening Of trade, and the r.
turn Of the people to the industrial and e
ricultural pursuits Of life.

The Execution of Champ Ferguson.

Nashville, October 20.-Champ Ferguson
was executed at noon to-day, at the peniten.
tiary grounds, just outside the city. Heded
game on the gallows, evincing no emotion
until the rope was placed around his neck.
when his face turned very red and broke out
into profuse perspiration, attended with a
strong quivering of the lips. He stood COM
posedly on the drop some twenty minutes,
while the charges, specifications and sentence
were read by Col Schaffer. He nodded re
cognition to several persons in the crowd, and
shifted his position in an impatient manner
while the sentence was being read. To some
specifications he inclined his head in assent
TO others he shook his head. That about
Elan Huddleston caused him to say, 90 / can
tell it better than that" When the speaker
read, To all of which the prisoner pleads
not guilty." he said. II don't know"
After prayer by his spiritual adviser, he
was then asked if he had anything to say
before proceeding with the execution. He
replied, Nothing to say particularly at all.
No. don't think have"
The moose was here placed around his neck,
and then, for the first time, he gave signs of
emotion, and his face blushed to a deep
scarlet. The perspration broke forth pro-
fusely from his face, and his lips closed with
conyulsive quver. The realization Of his
awful situation seemed to flash on his mind
in all its awfulness, oyerpowering his forti-
tude.
Colonel Schaffer wiped the sweat away.
and the prisoner gradually recovered his
equanimity.
He expressed himself as much opposed to
having anything placed oser his eyes, when
O handkerchief was called for Then he
volunteered the statement:
- don't know some things in those specif-
cations. but | don't deny anything l ever
done'
For moment or two he seemed to be re-
pressing an impulse to make fuller remarks.
After brief pause, he added:
80 | want to be sent to my family. don't
want to be buried on this soil"
After another pause, he continued, in an
excited manner:
''Don't give me to the doctors. | don't
want to be cut up."
Here Col Shatfer answered " You shan't,
Mr.. Ferguson"
A short silence followed, when the prisoner
again spoke:
- / want to be put in that thing, (pointing
to his coffin and taken to White county,
where can have my family around me. Ii
had only had my way, | wouldn't have
been here. Whenever you are ready am
DONE My last request is to be sent away
with my WIFE"
His last words were: go Lord, have
mercy on me, pray thee"
At seventeen minutes to II o'clock the
drop fell, and life was extinct in sixteen min
utes
