THE MOUNTAIN TO TIE NETTING.

Once more within thy grateful shade,
Our hosts assembled stand
Once more the baitle-cry resounds
Aloud throughout the land;
Full many hast thou seen aud heard,
Oh! mountain fair aud high,
Since FIRST thy towering crest was reared
In triumph 10 the sky.
The Iimpid Fishingcreek has laved
For years, thy rock bound foot;
The red -browed Indian here has roved,
And built his IeafY hut;
The white man sought him here home,
First of his race was he
And made The idol of his hearth,
The Goddess Liberty!
And lhou has seen for many years;
Her rule DER this fair realm,
While Democrats securely held
A hand upon the'heIm;
That peace and plenty crowned our work,
And happiness all saw;
And president and pauper, had
Ine Denent oil law
eyes | have seen," the Mob rejoined
In accents loud and clear;
"Your strife for laws and white-men's rights,
Kept up from year 10 year
Ard have seen the sIalwart sons
or Old Columbia stand
Before The brazen throat of power,
A small undaunieI band.
From my broad veIleys have seen,
Swept of in laws despite,
The cheerful cons of honest toll;
III was a sorry sight
And many weary day passed by,
OF Sunshine aud Of rain;
and isen, along the winding creek,
Slow passed funeral train.
Long afer, one by one they came,
Detected, sick and sore
To glad their homes, ard faithful wives,
And little ones once more!
Tins right has triumphed over wrong
AS il shall ever DO,
When faithful, earnest, homes, men,
To ptincipIe are true
Be irm as is my rock-bound base,
Clear as yon Iimpid stream.
And Heaven shall yet your labors crown,
Your faiihfulness redeem
Shall bring again This glorions land
Beneath your genial sway;
And oil the clouds that drape it now,
Shall break aud pass way"

Deserved lRebuke.

The Chicago Times rebukes some Of the
eastern journals for their sensational arti-
cles in relation to an alleged plague that Is
sweeping oyer Europe. These sensational
articles it considers calculated to throw hall
the nation into convulsions. The Times de-
clares: os-..,f,.t, go. .y.,
2 The fact is that the .spiague'' in Russia is
no plague at all. The plague proper makes
no distinction In its victims. IL takes them
from the palace and the hut; It Is complete
democrat pure leveler. The disease now
raging so fatally In Russia confines its at
tacks exclusively, to the poorer classes, and
has its origin In unhealthy food, insufficient
quarters. and the crowded condition Of pre-
cincts devoted to the residence of the labor
inc classes. In not one single respect has
n any resemblance to the plague; its symp-
toms are different; its method Of attack diff
ferent: and the patient dies under totally
different conditions. 2a.
The truth Is that In some Of the frontier
towns of Russia and Prussia,C very malig-
nant fever is sweeping away the poorer
Glasses. It has q local origin, and thus fal
has not reached outward. And this Is ail
that there Is for a basis OF sensational arti-

An AvowaI of an Explicit Policy
Called For. ..

The Ne,o York Tribune is pertinaciously
urging that politicians and delegations
leave President JOHNSON alone, so that hi
may mature and publish to the South full
definite and not to be misunderstood pro.
gramnc of the policy he intends pursuing
towards the Rebels. They certainly are
the parties who should have as clear an un-
derstanding on this point as delegations
from the adhering States. The Tribune
makes this point: .g.I goettI,.r.
President johnson has the loyal States
at his back, as no President since Monroe
has had them; he can carry thousands for q
definite, vigorous policy who would have
opposed that identical course If pro-
pounded by hislamented predecessor. Let
us trust that the great opportunity Will
not pass unimproyed.
We are not urging that his policy should
be lenient or otherwise, though our opinion
on thispoint is decided and well known;
what we urge is simply that his programme
be so full and definite that it cannot well be
misrepresented or mistaken. If he sees
reason to except few or many from his
proffers of amnesty to the submissive, lei
them be 80 clearly distinguished that there
shall no longer be many alarmed. for every
one who is really threatened. Let those
who have aught to gain by submitting
promptly to the National authority know
the fact, so that the formation of distinct
ly loyal party among those lately in oper
rebellion may begin as speedily and it
growth proceed as rapidly as may be-
.,The South, knows itself beaten. in tht
field: let it know next what is to be gained
and who are to gain 1t, by prompt ant
hearty submission to the National authori
ty. We have had four full years of mos
destructive war; If another is requisite LEI
us have it; but do not let us waste a veal

wardly, bunglingly, as we drifted into war

him from the friendly yet fatal match with
Laertes, and make the application:

vidence In the fall of sparrow. Ifit be
now, tits not TO come. Ifit be not to come,
1t will be now; II 1t be not now, yet it will
come. The readiness is ALL"
In referring to the assassination Of Presl-
dent LINCOLN, Col. FoRNEY says: 4
"Struck down In the hour of victory won
by his policy, and under his personal oD-
servation, he was called at the very moment
when he was himself most happy and most
he fell by, the red-handed assassin; but
those who crucifcd Christ did not hide his
glorious example, or make him less potent
4 as the Saviour of Man, because they were
assassins. Now that Lincoln Is
summoned from the, troubled drama, the
very manner of his death makes more elo-
quent lessons OF hislife, showing that there
4 can be no more clemency to traitors, and
/ that the leaders who rejected his offers OF
peace, running through months of victory
\ to our arms, must submit to the rightful
authority of the Government or ABIDE THE
CONSCIOUSNESS. This is not only now the
stern decree of the people, but is seems to
me the no less imperative Judgment OF
The assassination OF President LINCOLN
Is urged now as direction from God to
our people that they must adopt toward
the Rebels a more stern and vindictive
policy than President LINCOLN was inclined
to adopt. o ~ eERl y
We are not aware that sound theology
teaches that the crucifxion of Christ caused
God to adopt toward fallen and degenerate
man more stern and vindictive policy
than the Saviour advocated. I'D
