A Precious RELIc.-How grand and sol.

from President Lincoln's Inaugural, when
read, as now, in the light of history! Ap.
pealing to the disafected people of the South
he said: In your hands, my dissatisfied
countrymen, and not in mine, is the momen.

Where Sleep Our Country's Brave.

Where sleep our Country's brave, who fell
On many fierce red attle-feld-
Rung out for them deaths funeral knell!
Sleep they beneath the lance and shield?
Where banners droop through lofty fanes.
Mid temples old and gray with years
Where music floats in martial streams
Above patriots noble bier!
Few slumber thus, but where low graves
Lie thickest on Columbia's land,
By rocky streams, by oceans wave,
Unbounded rest that glorious band.
By Wintry seas, where wild the surge,
Leap high upon the rock-bound shore;
They sleep, while ocean sings her dlrge
And breakers dash, and madly roar,
By many stream, whose murmurng flow
Low sings its songs through violet dell,
Where lilies on the margins blow,
They fought and proudly fell.
And red the lilies grow with blood,
And pale their lips like lilies bloom;
And dark the wave where ebbed the flood,
Around the soldiers hallowed tomb.
Thro' woodland belt. where shimmering stars
Glance down amid the haunted shades,
In some stern hour the note Of war,
Hath sounded thro' the echoing glades.
When ceased the battles deafening roar,
Deep graves were scooped near forest tree,
And wild flowers bloom and free birds soar,
And DER them sing minstrelsey.
Upon the wild and lonesome deep,
Far out upon the sounding sea,
Where swelling winds and bellows beat,
music slow and mournfully;
There perished on the hungry wave,
Full many form that walked the earth,
Unknown the place where rests his grave,
And chill the freight round his hearth.
Some lone heart grieves beside the stream,
Some footsteps linger in the wood.
And wanders there to weep and dream
Above the spot where last he stood.
And some loved arm is outward cast,
Imploring across the wave,
And vainly calls the loved and lost,
To answer from his ocean grave.
Unmarked but not unhonored, rest
The heroes that for freedom died;
There burned within their dauntless breasts
A cause worth all the world beside.
Forever live their glowing names
For unborn notions yet TO see,
And write in words of deathless fame,
They died for Truth and Liberty!

The Mountain Democrat closes itsj lamen-
tations (?) over the assassination of President
Lincoln by quoting an impromptu prayer
from the Marysville Express. thus: "Our
prayers to God are that the guilty may be
punished, and that none who were in any
way implicated in the dastardly transaction
may escape"
What pity these precious sheets, that
have been printing for the past four years the
very teachings that have lead to this calami.
ty, should now be deprived of the fullest faith
ofloyal men in their prayers. So hollow do
they appear to us that our blood chills as at
hearing the blacklist blasphemy, and consid-
ering the source from which it comes it is
nothing else.

encouraging auspices; its management
is in the hands Of substantial, practi-

show that it will be greatly for the
interest Of all interested in business
here, as buyers, sellers, shippers, agents
