neath of the Flowers.
ny WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

The melancholy days have come,
The sad'lrst of the year.
OF waiing winds. and naked woods,
And meadows brown and scar.
Hrap-d in the holpw5 Of the groves
THE wthcrcd leaves lie dead,
They rustic to the cddying gust
And to the rabbits tread.
The robin and the wreuS are flown,
And from the shrubs til" jay,
Ana from the wouI-tcr cells tire crow,
Through all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers. the fair young flowers
That lately Srrang and stnd,.
In brighter light and softer air,
A beautecus sisicrhuud?
Alas. they are all in their graves;
The gentle race of flowers
Are lying in their Lowry beds,
With the fair and good of ours.
"he rain is FILLING where they lie,
But the cold November rain
Calls not from out the gloomy Garth
Thc lovely ones again.
The wild-tlower and the violet,
They persisted long Ign,
And the hriar-rosc and the orchis died,
Amid the summer glow.
But on the hill the golden rod,
Aud the astcr in the wood,
And the yellow sur-tiowcr by the brook,
In autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold heaven,
As falls the plague on men,
and the brightness of their smile was gone,
From upland, glade and glen.
And now, when comes the calm mild day,
As still such days will come,
IT, call the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home:
When tho sound Of dropping nuts i'd heard,
Though all the trees are still
And twinkle IN the smoky light
The waters Of the rill.
The sotith wind searches for the flowers,
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And signs to find them in the wood
And by the stream no more.
And then think Of one who in
Her youthful beauty died.
The fair. meek blossom that grew up,
And faded by our side;
In tho co,l. mos. earth we laid her,
When the forest cast the leaf,
And we went that one 50 irrgiy,
Should have life 80 brief;
Yet not unmeet II WAS that one.
Like thar Young fri"u Of ours,
g, gentle and 81 beautiful.
Should perish with the ilswcrs.

defeat the bill. They had appropria.

the Democratic members were deter
mined to hold the party in power to
its pledges, and gave the measure
such an earnest and enthusiastic sup.
port as to compel the majority to
pass the bill. In the early stage oil
the discussion nearly all Of the promi
nent Republicans in the House spoke
against the measure, and all the
Democrats who entered into the dis
cussion advocated it. On two or
three test votes majority Of the
Republicans were found opposed to
it, while the Democrats voted Tor il
all the time. The majority then
made an effort to drive the Democrats
from its support so that they might
defeat it, by endeavoring to insert q
clause providing that negroes should
be received into the institution on an
equality with white soldiers, and a
considerable majority of the Republt
cans voted for the amendment, but
it was defeated by the Democrats
Failing in all their tillibustering, and
fearing that the defeat OF the bill
would operate against the party in
the army at the next election, enough
Republicans voted wi b the Demo-
Gratis 70 pass it.-These very Repub.
licans who opposed the measure on
the ground OF economy, had voted
the year before the sum OF a million
of dollars to the Governor as a militia
ry fund, and one hundred thousand
dollars as contingent fund, which
are only other titles for corruption
fund and plumber fund, and yet they
were compelled by men they style
Oopperheads and enemies OF the sol

dollars fol the care of those who are

The Surrender OF HarTOId--Resisi

ance of Booth.
Harold was inclined at first to arcede to
the request, out Booth accused him Of COW =
ardice. Then both peremptorily refused to
surrender, and made preparation to defend
themselves. In order to take the conspira-
tors alive, the barn was fired; and the flames
getting too hot for Harold, he approached
the door of the barn and signified his will
ingness to be taken prisoner. The door
was then opened sufficiently to allow Har-
rOld to put his arms through that he might
be handcuffed.
AS an officer was about placing the irons
upon Harold's wrists Booth fired upon the
party from the barn, which was returned BY
the Sergeant of the 10Th New York, the ball
striking Booth in the neck, from the effects
Of which he died in about four hours. Be-
fore breathing his last he was asked il he
had anything to say, when he replied, Tel
my mother that died for my country"
Harold and the body OF Booth were
brought into Belle Plain at 8 o'clock last
night and reached the Navy-Yard here al
| o'clock this morning. The statement
heretofore published, that Booth had injur
ed one of his legs by the falling of his horse
has proved to be CoreeCt. After he wa;
shot it was discovered that one Of his legs
was badly injured, and that he was compell-
ed TO wear an I'd shCe and use crutches
which he had with him in the barn. Booll
was shot about o'clock in the morning
and died about o'clock.
Booth had upon his person some bills o.
exchange, but only one hundred and sevent!
five Treasury notes.
1t appears that Booth. and Harold lef
Washington together on the night of thu
murder al President LiuColu, and passeC
through Leonardtown Nd, concealng then
selves in the vicinity until an opportunity
was afforded them to cross the river at Swal
Point, which they did, as above stated. Th
man whJ hired Booth and his accomplic tn
boat, in which he crossed the river, was ca
tured we understand but afterwards mad
his escape. Harold has been lodged in a
secure place.

Law and Order.

Richmond fallen; Lee surrendered;
and now johnson followed suit! Not
vestige of Confederate force east ol
the Mississippi river, save broken anc
detached bands of rovers. Thus aitel
four years of warfare conducted
on the largest scale known in Histo-
ry, the military power, ana VIII
that the existence OF the Southern
Confederacy is destroyed. The rent
and after 4 edges OF the war clouds
from which the storm of desoIation
has so long fallen, are tinged with
the first rays Of returning Peace
And all the people welcome the sig"
mails Of hope as exultingIy as did
Noah the dove and the olive branch
The territorial integrity ofthe Un-
ION is secured. We have conquered
a Union of lands; whether in 50 Go>
ing we have secured Unlon of hearts
is still uncertain. The NOMINAL su'
premacy Of the Constitution and the
laws made in pursuance thereof, over
every inch of our soil, is established;
whether the Constitution and the laws
made in pursuance thereof are to
hold sway in reality over any portion
Of the country, remains to be seen.-
We have seen Egyptian mummie',
embalmed and perfectly preserved,
ont Of which the spirit which once
animated had departed centuries ago.
The form and shape and dimensions
of the old Union might exist long af.
ter the spirit which that Union once
enshrincd had taken wing. 1t is
very certain to our minds that that
spirit if not dead, has been sleeping
for the last four years, and that very
soundIy. And in view Of that tact
the warning of scripture recurs to
lis with painful emphasis "what shall
it profit man, If he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul, or what
shall a man give in exchange for his
sou!"-This Is matter for solemn
thought on the part Of the people, tc
the end-not that they may be dis
couraged-but that they may rally tc
the re3cuo.-We hope for the best -
We,earnestly truSt.th when the plet
military necessity is taken away
and, the passions which war engendcr
have subsidized, tie old reverence fo

Government be made to resume it
proper position as the agent and no
