YEAR AGO, TODAY,
sY xArE ArLD.
One gentle spirit winged Its night
From earthly scenes below,
To yonder world of life and light,
This day, one year agoi
He suffered long-and then he died:
His spirit scared away
Upon its bright, ethereal flight
One year ago, to-day.
AL this long day my heart has blsd,
As though saw him there.
Suffering and wounded-dying-dead!
He ,cas this time last yeari
His wants supplied by stranger hand
seem to hear his cries
Of pain, as in that stranger land, -
Meath stranger care, he diesl
And as the weary hours drag past
witness now, his death;
In fancy can hear his last,
His gasping, dying breathi
And as the night comes slowly on ..
murmur: "Far away"
As though his last breath was not drawn,
A year ago, to-day!

From the Petersburg Daily Mews.
MIR. Davis.

1t is difficult to account for the sudden
access of malignity of which Mr.. Davis
is the victim. But yesterday the world
was fulsome in its praises of his genius,
craftsmanship, courage, and the simple
dignity and exemplary purity of his life,
Visitors from the Old World ran the perls
of the blockade to see and converse with
him, eminent citizens of the United States
solicited passports from him that they
might hold personal or semi-oficial inter.
sourse with him even the head of the
nation himself condescended to meet half.
way and hold long interview with COM
missioners formally representing him in a
matter directly and exclusively concerning
his official character and functions as head
of the Confederacy.
In few weeks all was changed. The
repertory OF Bilingsgate is ransacked for
epithets of opprobrium with which to de-
nounce him, and filthy penny a-liners vent
their cheap abuse with the violence and
volubility of fsbwomen on the head of
man whose mere agents Mr.. Lincoln
thought it no disgrace to meet and confer
with, on terms of familiar equality.
The charge of treason was of course to
have been expected-George Washington
only escaped that by the timely aid of
France-but that is SO far collapsed by the
voluminous abuse which accompanies it
that it almost attaips the rank of compli-
ment by comparison. Villain, coward,
tyrant, drunkard, butcher, assassin, con-
spirator, thief, fiend, vampire, dance
through the columns of the Northern
press Sin all the mazes of metaphorical
confusion" g- ',M
Let simple truth be told about all this.
Jefferson Davis was chosen political Chief
Magistrate of six millions of American
citizens (twice as many as Washington
represented, .who endeayored to establish
separate government for themselves.
He represented large majority of those
people in the outset Of war, much larger

Gen. Lees Application for Pardon.

A southern paper originated the idea
that Gen. Robert L. Leeapplied for pardoo
because such an act Of his would be ben
efcial in pacifying those of his followers
who are yet supposed to be covertly mimi.
cal to the Government, or openly discon-
tented and FESTIVE. Had no other mo-
tive than this actuated Gen. Lee, it would
hardly have been creditable to him. The
fact is Gen. Lee has manfully accepted the
condition of things as they are, and has
applied for pardon on his own account, and
not On behalf Of others. 1t is stated that
his application was drafted more than six
weeks ago, and was submitted to his
friends for their unprejudiced counsel and
judgment. 1t was forwarded without ex-
pressed reluctance to the chief magistrate
in that spirit of candor which has always
characterized the public acts of Gen. Lee
and in doing SO it has been fully shown
that be has not sought to excuse himself
for his individual act, by pretending to be
particularly interested in the welfare Of
others.-.Sum.

Negro Suffrage and Equality.

The question of negro suffrage is be-
ginning to loom up before the American
people, and judging from the outgivings
of Chief Justice Chase, Senator Sumner
and other leading Aboitionists, will be
the leading issue in our State elections
The question of African slavery having
been settled by the war, can no longer
trouble us. 1t is now out of politics.
With its departure the country has good
radiance, and the thirty years controver-
sy about the institution of slavery is end
ed. But the Abolitionists are not salts
fed with this. NThey are not content with
the abolition Of slavery, so far as Presi-
Dental Proclamations and Congressional
enactments can abolish it. They must
also, forsooth, have the negro upon a
social and political equality with the
white man they wish to give him the
right Of suffrage and per consequence,
make him eligible to hold oficeyand thus
constitute our nation sort of hybrid con-
cern-half-white and, half-black.
The entering wedge to perfect equality
between the black and wlate races is this
very question Of African suffrage. Open
the ballot-boxes to the negro, and the
next step will be to seat him in your jury
boxes, in your city councils, in your halls
of legislation, and in Offices of profit and
trust of every grade. Then will follow
social equality, the intermarriage of the
blacks and whites, and all the disgusting
and abominable consequences resulting
from this general and unnatural inter-
mingling of the races.
It is useless on the part ct any portion
Of the Abolition presto deny sthe fact.
that this is to be the leading. question at
issue not only in Pennsylvania, but
throughout the Union-we mean the
question of negro suffrage. It is tho
question that will be determined by the

MONDAY in September next and in at
cordance with circular received from the
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-

We are as yet without tidings of the Great
Eastern, and the probabilities of successful
issue of her undertaking grows fainter and faint
err as the hours roll on. Making ample allow
ance for all ordinary mishaps, she still ought to
have reached New Foundland before this time
1t is too soon to assert that this second effort to

we incline strongly to the opinion that the Great
Eastern will next be heard from via England.
Since the above was in type we have advices
from Europe to the 4th inst. by the steamer Mo.
ravian, which has passed Farther Point. She
brings the information that communication with
the Great Eastern remains suspended, and moth

Gov. Brownlow appears to be dissatisfied with
the way in which the late election in Tennessee
was conducted. He thinks the law passed by
the Legislature for the purpose of keeping the
dominant party in that State in power, was moi
enforced rigidly enough. In order TO satisfy
himself on this point he has addressed a series o.
questions to the clerks of the county courts and
the sheriffs. The end of the matter will proba.
bly, be that If any persons have been elected who
are in any way Objectionable to Gov. Brownlow
he will turn them summarly out of office
