BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWK-EYE,

NO description 1 can give in this hurried
letter will 90 justice to the splendid ap-
pearance Of this large corps Of the army,

time occupied in passing, it must be larger

Their march has the precision and tread OF
veterans.
No one could have seen them without
feeling proud of American citizens. The
artillery, which brought up the rear,
made an exceedingly fine appearance,
marching in excellen. order four pieces

It is a marvel that a people 80 busy and
40 economical Of time az we are should be
tol erant of interminable public talk. There
il no other country on the globe where 90
much time is thus used up, or 70 20 little
nurpose, Or il this the explanation, that
while others speak to express and excite
thought and emotion, we do it to dissipate
calm thought and to calm ourselves by
Giving vent to feeling that must come out
Ia some way? The tragic events Of the
last fortnight have produced the most pro-
found excitement. No people ever felt
more truly and wholly, and yet the floods
of loose rhetoric poured out in every town
and village would indicate superficial rath-
ar than genuine emotion. When the ~
mains of the first Napoleon were brought
to paris the Prince de Joinville said to the
emperor, s'Sire, present to you the ashes
of Napoleon" Louis PHILIPPE replied, II
receive them in the name OF France"
This was all the speech-making on an oc-
casion which excited the strongest feeling
in the French people, and was celebrated
with an imposing display. When moved
with great thoughts and emotions men
speak in brief, strong words. In the pres
ence of an overpowering grief they feel 81
the truly devout man does at the act OF
worship-"God is in heaven and thou up
on earth, therefore let thy words be few"

TIE WORK OF ExTERMlNATION.-T
BILE IL the condition Of the South swift and
effective was the vengeance which her re-
bellious leaders brought upon the country.
In four years of war she lost not only eve.
rything that was fought for, but lost beside
more than one. half her able-bodied men.
The letter of our correspondent at Raleigh,
North Carolina, printed In another place,
furnishes some startling facts bearing upon
this point. The official records of that
State show that North Carolina lost on the
field and in hospital during the war fifty
thousand men. Intelligent Southern men
at Raleigh estimate the total loss of the
States in rebellion by death, in field and
hospital, at three hundred and fifty thous-
and. and II 10 further estimated that there
are not now over two hundred and ffty
thousand able bodied white men alive in
the limits of theso.called Confederacy. In
addition to the Losses by war, large num-
bers fed from the South, to escape persecu-
ton or CONSUMPTION. Many of these will
never return. We thus see that if the rebel
leaders had been able to carry on the war
much longer, the work Of determination
would have been complete. AZ it il, it
will require many years oftime. and free
tide of emigration to bring the Southern
States up to an average condition Of pros
perity. But under the influence Of free
dom society will be re-organized, and q
new spirit will be infused-tho spirit OF
Northern enterprise. These will eventual
~ cause the Southern States to grow and
prosper as they never did before, and the
next generation will be very different from
the slave aristocracy which has fallen with
the rebellion.-Cin. GGz.

TEHNEssEE REFuaEEs-JoHN Bell
Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee. thus
writes to his paper, the Knoxville Wing:
There are number Of refugees south
er, in North Alabama. anxious to return
home, and they are coming home in few
days. Among those further back in the in.
terror hear of Judge Ridley and john
Bell. ! have written to the latter to come
home, and told HIM that he would not be
molested. He was never in arms, and was
foolish for going South. Many leading men
in the rebel service are writing back to
know If they can be allowed to come home
and do some amnesty swearing! They all
want some store clothes, and something 70
eat and drink!

GooD ADv1cE.-The Catholic Telegraph
cioses an article on the Obsequles OF fresl-
dent Lincoln, as follows:
What are the benefits which Nj. Lincoln
mas be 4ueathed to bis country? The pros
tration Of the institution of slavery. aud
the annihilation Of the demon of csssion.
If be had lived, slavery might have gath-
cred its broken images and mended them
with compromise glue, according to the
Constitution of the United States, and the
chiefs of secession might receive the kiss Of
pardon, and innoculate the rising genera.
ton with the virus which has robbed our
homes of our dearest and bravest, and
crimsoned many fields with the precious
blood of our kinsmen. His assassination
has smashed every link of slavery, ground
to powder the idols which naughty and
lmperious class wofshipped, and stamped
every syllable Of the Emancipation Proc.
!amation upon the great loyal heart Of the
North: The murderer may not have in
tended to do 40 much against the cause IN
the interest Of which he fought, as cod
olooded assassin Oh his OWN account: but
ne has done much to knit together the peo-
PIE OF the North, and when they put their
loot down 1t stays down, and the impress
sion made thereby is ineiaceabIe. Hence,
while we deplore the murder of President
Lincoln it will perhaps, be a benefit to our
whole country. We would rather that he
lived but the expiring wrong of the nire-
teenth century, in the paroxysms Of ven
geance and hate, has sealed its doom with
red seal that will lever be broken until
the name and insignia of freedom are ban
lshed from the territory of the United
States.
Over the grave Of our murdered Presi.
dent let us examine the exigencies Of the
hour, as he did during the past four years.
Calmly, but resolutely, let us nerve our
selves to the work which he commenced;
let US by no puerile or unmanly act do or
say anything that would be offensive to
Kim when living; let us cease thumbing
tones for facts about kings and queens
who have met with violent 1deaths; let us
bear in mind, for all coming time, that
Abraham Lincoln "ioved his country and
served his kind;' that in his bloody
shroud he lives in our hearts, and, as be
rolled back the stone from the sepulchre Of
slavery, let it be our duty to exlore and
renovate the cavern, which has held the
black men in chains, and SO comport our
selves that we may, in the future, in the
days of gray hairs and the slippered panta-
loon, say: Abraham Lincoln was murder
ed for obeying the laws; have performed
my part in completing the work which he
commenced and almost finished.
