September 26, 1865.


The following anecdote was related to
me by one Of our brave boys, who has
served his country the last three years As
[ have never seen it in print, give it to
you for publication, if you should think
proper:
"As a regiment of infantry was return
ing from parade, they passed one of our
public buildings. on the steps of which
stood our lamented President Lincoln A
young captain evidently desirus of max
ing q display, in C. tossing water course
missed his footing, and in trying to save
himself lost his hat. Tne exhibition wa:
truly unfortunate; the spectators laughed
and looked at the President. expecting him
to laugh too. On the contrary, he not only
retained his 'omposure, but promptly ad
vauced to where the hat had rolled. and
taking it up. presented it to its owner
The officer received it with blush of sur
Prise aud gratitude, and hurried to rejoir
his company. There vas murmur o
surprise. aud the regiment passed on
Though the scene Of moment, and with
out word spoken. it touched every heart
not with admiration for mere display o
politeness. but with warmer feeling fo
proof of that true charity which ncvc
faileth. b. u. Il.

THE FETTERS BROKEN.
He sat within his prison cell.
And saw the moons pale beam.
Fall slanting on the grated bars.
In many silver sheen.
He knew II was the last, last time
'Twould shed its light for him
For with the morrsw's sun he saw
A scafold gaunt and grim.
Doomed to die a murderer's DEATH
Yet innocent was he
As the laughing babe, that guileless plays
Upon its mothers knee.
But the cruel world its cold harsh loves
Had brought to him this pain;
Made his happy life lasting farce,
lis freedom bound with chains.
In this solemn night he thought of her
Who had linked her life with his,
Now left to fear the trials and griefs
OF such fate as this.
Then he thought ofhis young and fairhairec
boy
And he clenched his iron chain -
For instead of fathers love and care,
He left him tarnished name.
Tightly he pressed his hands Ger his eyes,
As If to shut from his aching sight
The scaffold, the shame and the breakin
heart,
And the pale moons mocking light.
There broke on the air an anguished cry,
From his bleeding heart and torn
And through his ngers white and thin,
A tear.drop trickled down.
The food. gates opened From his soul
Rose out upon the midnight air.
Fen to Heavens gates in accents clear,
The prisoners last prayer.
And then with meekly folded hands
He gazed upon the pitying stars,
And saw once more the pale moonbcams
Fall kindly on his prison bars.
Soon was heard an angels nesting wing,
And when the moonlight had just gone,
And darkness was DER all the earth.
He woke to radiant morn.
The prison bell with mournful peal.
Rang out the solemn chime
He heard not, needed not the sound.
For him, was more time.
He slept at last peaceful sleep.
He dreamed no more of pain;
Now free, he who prisoner was.
For death had broke the chain.
The morning came, the sun shone bright
Upon the startled town, ..
And through the long and narrow streets,
Went the disappointed throng.
g. 1t glanced into the narrow CELL
But kind death had been there
A smile was on the freedman 's face.
Such as the angels wear.

Accotink and Woodlawn, Fairfax County, at
which resolutions We're passed some1 hat in
reply to the resolutions about civil government,
recently passed by the meeting in Alexandria.
The following are some of the outlons
adopted at the Accotink and Woodlawn meet
ing
8 That if it Re true as was asserted at the
Alexandria meeting: that the State Of Virgin
Ia boasts the allegiance of more citizans than
are claimed by several Of our sister States, it
is to her lasting shame and infamy, that we
have not soldier in the field credited to her
as State, and that the spirit Of Washington
would sink back in despars when he saw SO few
Virginia sons battling for freedom.
4 That it is to the military power fthe FEEDER
al government that We are indebted Tor whatever
protection We have enjoyed: and we hope they
willn be removed until not only the officials
in Alexandria, but every loyal man in the
South may lie down in peace and safety.
