The bes, inheritance which parents

A Visit to the Antietam Battle Field.

VISIT 10 the Antletam BatlIc Il tleIu.
A correspondent Of the Baltimore Amer.
icsn describing visit TO The Anlie!am
battle field, says:
"The Town of Shsrpsb1rg still bears
many marks OF the fight, the houses be-
ing perforated by shells and defaced by
mimic balls. The citizens point out ia
the stranger The places where shells ex'
ploded, and where men were shot in the
street. The old church which was SO
badly riddled has been repaired. The
Lutheran Church on The brow Of the hill,
was SO weakened by shot that The walls
became insecure and have been pulled
down. The Episcopal Church. beyond
the town, is complete ruin, having been
injured during and since the battle.
"The chief object of interest at present
TO The visitors is The National Cemetery,
located by Governor Bradford upon the
summit Of The most prominent hill Of the
range selected by Lee as the rebel line OF
battle. The view is one Of unsurpassed
beauty, commanding the entire country
in every direction. From these grounds,
with the aid of map, the battlefield can
be thoroughly inspected, and the various
movements Of The troops made ineligible
10 The civilian.
The cemetery originated with our es.
teemed and patriotic Governor. His plans
were approved by the General Assembly
of 1865. An executive commission Of
four genlemen-Thomss A. Boulll, Of
Hsgerslown. and DR.. Biggs, Of Shsrps-
burg, Charles G. Fulton, of Baltimore,
and Gen. E. Shriver. Of Frederick-were
appointed, and the SUN Of seven thousand
dollars appropriated as Maryland's quota.
The commissioners have applied 10
other States for aid, and will undoubtedly
receive prompt and liberal responses
when their legislatures meet. Eleven
acres Of ground have been purchased.
which are now being graded and enclosed
by substantial stone wall When The
ground is ready The bodies OF the dead
heroes will be removed 10 the enclosure,
and there rest uDdisiurbed' Unnl summOa.

marshal them for another triumph greater
than that achieved upon the field where

of their seal the familiar words, Dafcs e!

B1RDs.-In Philadelphia, the birds
introduced into the public squares are
growing in numbers rapidly, building
nests almost directly over the public
walks, and make the air 1nelodious
with their sweet, CHEEKY voices. They
are living entirely upon the worms
and moths which now, as in years
past, insest the trees, and are, it is
thought, efecting great deal Of good
in their persistent hungry warfare on
these nuisances. Wrens are largely
in the majority; owing to the fact that
the bird boxes put up in the trees
were not made large enough for other
birds; but there are also blue birds,
sparrows, and other varietie fitting
about, and next year they, too, will be
comfortably settled.

The Virginia Legislature has ad-
journed. Nearly all the measures re-.
quired by Gov. Pierpont to assist him
in the work Of reconstr,cting the State
Government were passed, eliciting
little or no debate in their passage.
The most important Of these was that
extending the elective franchise to
persons who were excluded from it by
the Alexandria Constitution. These
persons are those who have voluntarily
given aid and comfort 70 the rebellion
since the first Of January, 1864. The
election Of members of Congress and
Of the new Legislature is to take
place on the 18th of next October.
At this election the people are also to
decide whether the Legislature shall
have power to repeal the constitution
al provision which excludes from hold
ing office all who have been engaged
in the rebellion.

consequently a thing accomplished. In
the third place, the rational debt must
be paid. When the South is regene-
rated and is laboring hand in hand
with the North, there will be no diff.
6culty in regard to our debt Every
thing is, therefore, favorable for new
start on the path of empire, and the
situation of the country is really as
excellent as could be desired.

THE Two ARM1Es.-An English
officer, who got to Richmond just in
time to witness the evacuation, writes
home from Canada, which he was
fortunate enough to reach, that he
witnessed the last battles before Peters
durg. the departure of one army, and
the entry Of the other. he says:
The Confederate army had no
forage, no ra,ions, little clothing, bad
ammunition-in fact, nothing but
their indomitable pluck-and were
almost starving at the time of sur
render. I am not exaggerating; food
everywhere was scarce, and I was
hungry enough myself sometimes.
The Federal army was splendidly
equipped and furniahed with every
possible requisite, abundance of stores,
fresh meat, vegetables, everything a
soldier could wish for; their wagon
train was magnificent, and decidedly
the best branch Of their service. We
have nothing'at all like it.

which at present seems lihely to disturb 66
peace of the world, we have no doubt that our
government can persuade the people to &C
ouiesce in such solution of the difficulty. In
deed, the free trade party in this country might
be willing to grant England peculiar privileges
in return for the cession Of Canada. But
should this adjustment not be accepted, the
result will be most humiliating to the pride Of
France, England and Spain. We do not
threaten; we simply point to facts. Here is
mode by which Europe can retire from this con-
tinent with honor, and, perhaps, with profit II
that mode be refused, nothing remains but q
contest, in which we cannot fail TO be victo-
rious It may not occur under the present
administration; for Secretary Seward seems dis
posed to attempt the un-American plan of
matching diplomacy with diplomacy. But as
President johnson is avowedly q man of tho
people, and peculiarly susceptible to popular
Influences, peace Is by no means certain, even
during the next three years. The danger is,
that public sentiment will gradually rise until
Il becomes uncomfortable. As in the recent
civil war, the people will suddenly place in
Office politicians who sympathize with and will
carry out their ideas. Then, without warning,
the Senate will declare war; the President
will call for million of men; our
veterans will take down their muskets the
Secretary of the Navy will provide trans
ports and q convoy, and before the news OF
the declaration of war reaches France the first
shot will be fred and the first battle won.
After Mexico will come Canada, and after
Canada will come Cuba. The crash will be
heard, like Horace's thunder, from a clear sky.
England, France and Spain may combine, or
they may fight us separately; but the result in
either case will be the same. We warn Ma
poleon, Palmerston and Navaez of these facts
of the future in the best possible spirit and in
the interests Of peace. For the same reason
we urge them to accept the adjustment which
we propose. The end will be the same; it is
simply matter of choice with them how we
shall reach it, by treaty or by war. The Ameri-
can people have just shown how sincere they
were in saying the Union must be preserved.
They are equally sincere in the statement that
the Monroe doctrine must be maintained.

TIE REBEL CorToN LOAN IN ENaLAND.-The
rebel cotton loan at last dates was selling in
London at eight pounds ten shllings sterling
for one hundred pounds Of stock. By this 1t
appears that the infatuation for the cause Of
Jeff. Davis which seized tho rebel sympathizers
in England has not yet become entirely extinct,
and that there are few who invested in that
wild scheme that are yet nursing the shadow
of Mscawber's hope. The loan, 1t will be
recollected, amounted TO two millions Eve hun
dred and ffty-six thousand six hundred pounds,
or over twelve and half millions Of dollars.
II was negotiated at sixty to ninety pounds on
the hundred, to bear seven per cent interest,
and redeemable In 1888 at par, or 10 be paid
previous TO that time In cotton at six pence per
pound.
