AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
WRITTEN FOR THE MsrRopoL1rAN RECORD
BY NJ. W. n.

ron one occasion during the war IN VII
gipia, General Lee was lying asleep by tn
wayside when an army Of $4,000 men pass
ed by with bushed voices and footsteps, les
they should disturb his slumbers.l
Oereome with weariness and care,
The war-worn veteran lay
On the green turf Of his native land,
And slumbered by the way.
The breeze that sighed across his brow,
And smoothed its deepened lines,
Fresh from his own loved mountains Dor
The murmur of their pines,
And the glad sound Of waters;
The blue rejoicing streams.
Whose sweet, familiar tones were blent
With the music of his dreams
They brought no sound Of battles din,
Shrill ffe, or clarion,
But only tenderest memories
Of his own fair Arlington;
With, perhaps, a grander vision,
Which, alas! was not to..be,
OF a new born banner floating
0'era land redeemed and Tree.
While thus the ehieftain slumbered,
Forgetful of his care,
The hollow tramp Of thousands
Came sounding thro' the air
With ringing spar and sabre,
Aud trampling feet they come,
Gay plume and rustling banner,
And fife, and trump, and drum:
But soon the foremost column
Sees where, beneath the shade,
In slumber, calm as childhood,
Their wearied chief is laid
And down thu, line mnrmur
From lip to lip there ran,
Until the Silly whisper
Had spread to rear and van
And DER the host, silence
AS deep and sudden fell,
As tho some mighty wizard
| Had hushed;t them with spell;
And every sound was mufHsd,
And every soldiers tread
Fell lightly as mothers
/ Round her babys cradle-bed
| And rank, and file, and column,
/ So softly on they swept;
It seemed a ghostly army
Had passed him as he slept:
+ But mightier than enchantment,
Was that whose magic wove
The spell that hushed their voices
J, Deepest reverence and love.

ag The N. Q. Ree of the llth in an ar
ticle noticing the Conservative Union Con
vention; says:
1--WE see figuring in it the names Of men
who wished to be enamed delegates to the
Democratic Convention, and not having
been successful in that, reappear as dele
gates to the Unionlst Convention. Among
the noted names we find those of Messrs.
Field, ,exsheriff Shaw, Fish ex-clerk of the
Second District Court and ex-propretor
Of the True Delta BY the side Of men who
slgnalized themselves as ardent abolition
lists in the Convention of 1864, figure some
fouqieur secessionsts of the other day like
MIR. Henry G. castellanos. The parishes
were not represented at oil except by proxy;
and in reality it may be said that this Con
servatiye Uoionist party is organized only
with view to the coming municipal cleo
tion and with the object Of obtaining place
for the leaders"

General. SiOcum and The Bu-
reau.

General Slocum, the Democratic
nominee for Governor Of New York
has made a great speech at Syracuses
He thus speaks in complimentary
terms of that " institution the Freed
mems Bureau:
Yetafter carefully observing the opera
tions of that bureau, Isam CONVINCED that
more evil than good Will result from perpet-
uating it after the States have adopted con-
stitutions prohibiting slavery.
y
Each Judge, lieutenant or agent, as you
may please to term him, has his guard, and
each guard its commissary establishment.
The news Of his arrival in any section OF the
country spreads with wonderful rapidity.
A negro has grievance against his employ.
er, or some other white persons -he enters
his complaint and the judge or lieutenant
orders the white man or white lady to ap-
rear before him aud confront his or her ac-
cuser. The usual forms adopted in our
courts Of JUSTICE, to ascertain the facts in
the case are discarded. Z
Tie negro goes home, stopping at each plan
tation aud detailing the particulars OF the
case to other freedmen.
Half the negroes IN that section are at
once seized with desire to see the Yankee
military Judge, and to see how their masters !,
or mistresees would act on being brought
before him. Complaints are made against
the kindest and best people in the country
| The immediate results is dependency and
anger on the part Of the whites-discontent
and insolence on the part Of the blacks
| Here is young man from a Northern
State, not educated as a judicial officer, ane
often not possessing single qualification
for the discharge of suchasduties -upor
whom deyo]ve greater responsibilities thai

Cohrt-for he not only acts as judge. ba
| also as sheriff and clerk; and from his de
cision it is seldom n an appeal can be made; |.
| During the past few months. / have en-
| ioyed good opportunities for studying th
character and disposition Of the freedmen
and Of the working of the organization d h
signed to protect them. Ihave become full
convinced that the policy adopted by tn
President, of leaving to the respectiv
States the entire control oftheir local Affair.
is the only safe policy that can be adopted
