Lebanon Register says that at the Oc-
tober term of the Circuit Court for
Cannon County, 1865, a suit was tried
which was predicated upon the pro-
mlssory note, payable in Confederate
money, due in November, 1863.
Judge Cooper held that inasnluch as
the United States had acknowledged
the Confederate States a belligerent
power, contra 6, payable in Confed-
crate money, made in a locality that
was in the military occupation of the
Confederates, would be valid and
binding upon the parties, and that
the plaintiff would be entitled to re-
cover whatever the proof showed the
Confederate money to be worth at the
time the note fell due.

morn till night. Fontaine, formerly
reporter in New York, joined the South,
and published collection of all the Ii
bellous ISLANDERS that he could gather, to
show the Northern people up in as bar
barous light as possible, and some of
his falsehoods are most damnable. His
delectable volume is among our collect
ion, and we place it next to the nara
tive of that impudent Englishman, Col.
Freemantle, of the Coldstream Guards.
Fontaine applied recently for a pardon
to President Johnson. He should have
accompanied his application with a
copy of this book, which would have
measurably facilitated matters.
There are many other works of lesser
note-besdes music and old files ofnews-
papers which are quaint and curious in
Workmanship, and display the usual
bitterness of feeling, contempt, disdain
and hate, in their contents; but we can
not refer especially to them.
Those desiring to procure curiosities
of rebel literature can call at Gilmore's
and have their wants supplied. These
works will possess n peculiar interest to
Americans in coming years, and will be
much sought after 10y future generations.
A more fitting relic of the war than a
book written or printed in the South
during the rebellion, with all its SYM
pathies Southern, could not be preserved
and handed downtoposterity although
it is very true that the tone of the author
might not be calculated to soothe the feel
ings of the children of those who were
so gratuitously slandered. In the batch

more's stock in trade, we find books to
suit all classes and tastes, and someVery
good rebel music for the ladies who de-
light in singing the praises of Lee,
| Stonewall, and the defunct confederacy
The reprints of old works, too, are valu

circumstance of their publication, ant
the interest that mus forever surrounC

BURYING THE DEAD.


Come boys, let us bury our dead together,
Let us bury our dead together;
The battle-feld's clear and the battles are over
And it's beautiful sunshiny weather.
Together they lie, like brothers asleep;
Together, like brothers asleep
You can hardly distinguish the blue from the gray
In this bloody immovable heap j.,
Look here is Yankee" and here is a " reb,"
With their hands close clasped in each others
Tho as foemen they fought, it is certain in death
They thought Of each other as brothers.
And here is Il Yankee" and here is reb,"
And between them a can of stale water
As il one had been giving the other a drink,
In the midst Of the terrible slaughterl
All wal is wonderful leveller, boys,
No matter, who's who, death outfanked him.
And now, you poor fellow with head in the ditch
Is as good Ms the man that outranked him
And war is wonderful thing, anyway,
And curious method of rightng
wrong-to make peacebe fellows like us
Settle questions of state by hard fighting.
But that's the way all the world over, my boys,
Yes, that's the way all the world over;
So let us be lambs--now the wolf is well gorged--
And go back to the fields and the clover.
All, never mind, now, if You fought right or wrong
Thank God We are once more together;
One country between us, and one flag above
Floating free in this sunshiny weather
So, boys let us bury our dead together,
Let us bury our dead together,
And with them well bury unkindncss and strife
And be friends now, tits sunshiny weather. I

Another Theory of the Trial of JEFF. Davis
Washington Despatch to the Philadelphia Pross,l


Washington Despatch to the Philadelphia Pross,l
IT is as impossible to forget the crime
of Davis as it is to forget the murder of
Lincoln. If the latter visits our visions
by night and our thoughts by day,
mingling with our hopes and our pray
ers, the former is equally constant in our
memory. Thus, when we speak of the
| Crucifixion, we also remember those
who directed and superintendent it.
When we think of Washington, we see
| Benedict Arnold lurking in the back
| ground the ghost of baffied treason.
| How reasonable then, that Jefferson
| Davis should be held in close recollec-
ton by the people he fought to ruin!
| Not less reasonable is the public impa-
thence to know when and how he is to
be tried. From this impotence suspi-
cion and complaint are too apt to spring |;
and these are not allayed by the absurd
and InischievOus speculations of news
mongers and disaffected politicians. L
think il will result that every trial like
| that of Payne and his associates, and
now of Nirz, has direct and prepare
tory bearing on the case of Jefferson
Davis. That he was cognizant of every
atrocity cannot be denied indeed, it is
not denied. His own silence is not that
Vi NOulueu pTlue, Dut u StuuiCo dho
doubtless couhselled silence, and is
perhaps significant of his apprehension
that his knowledge of, if not his direct
completely in, these cruelties will be es-
tablished. You may take any of the
chief criminals of the rebellion who de-
liberately violated the rules of war, and
it will be shown that they had the sane
ton of Davis. The confessions of Beale
and Kennedy, who were executed at
New York, proved that they acted =" by
authority" The attempt to convey the
plague into our great cities by Black
burn, the devilish invention of Harris
and Oldham, the composition of
Professor Mccullough, the fiendish bar
barity of WirZ, who seemed to revel in
the murder of his victims and in the
success of his contrivances the robberies
and raids of the Northern border, like
the plan to fire the theatres and hotels
of New York and Others, were only
parts of one grand system, and were as
well known to Jefferson DAVIS as the |
mutilations at Bull Run, the torpedoes
at Williamsburg, the horrible agonles OF
tie prisoners at Libby and Belle Isle,
and The nameless infamies upon the |
coIored prisoners. Gradually and surely |
tbe warp and the wool of testimony is |
heinp prepared, and, when it is conf
pleted, will be closely and compactly
woven into the conviction of the great
est traitor since the days of Judas Is
