In view of the approaching change

that the transition may be attended
with the least possible embarrass-

try in reference to its postal affairs, I
have to request that special care be
taken of the public property in your

It is important to our own people
that this precaution should be taken,

It is hoped that much Of the pre-

hundred Austrian troops, in Maxi
milians's service, arrived at Boca
del Rio this week. Seven or eight
hundred arrived in Matamoros on
Thursday. They are fine body of
men and have seen much service in
Mexico. It is to be regretted that
they were not on hand before Negrete

A MissOurian's Feelings before
the Surrender.
Respectfully inscribed to Miss of La.

Who shall portray tho deep disgnst
Missourian's feel hen they are told,
To trail their banners in the dust,
Lay down their arms and be paroled.
Yield to the Yankees oh that thought
Thrills m;aly through my 'wildered brain
Give up the cause for which we've fought,
And humbly he base slaves again.
March backward through this land Of
flowers,
All dotted DER with bloody graves,
Aga in to seek our western bowers
To tell our mothers We are slaves.
Thank God, my father does not live
To witness thus, bis sons return
T'would cause his proud old heart to
grieve.
Ills aged cheek with shame to burn.
He sleeps within his native; State,
Where Stonewall Jackson wrote his name
Where Robert Lee succumbed to fate,
But kept his honor and his fame.
NV mothers locks, with grief are grey,
And mine are too, with toll and strife;
go to smooth as hes; I may,
Her pathway down the hill Of life.
| know she'll cheer me all she can.
But ne'er can smile, while Dixie's land,
Groans meath the Despot's iron chain.
Dear land Of sunshine aud of flowers,
We yet would die for thee (;
If this last bloody act Of ours
Could make thy people free.
We to our trust have e'er been true,
We've fought on every field;
We've doue all that brave men could do,
And now per force must yield.
To-morrcw's sun, that lights the world,
And gilds old oceans wave,
Will beam on Yankee flags unfurled
Above surrendered slaves.
In this dark hour, when hopes last ray
Has sunk meath sorrows wave
Come comrades, let us kneel and pray
Beside our nations grave.
Well weep az the survivors weep,
OF a wrecked bark homeWard bound,
Who feel it's wrong they do not s,eep
In the grave their bark hath found.
IT'S hard to leave the land of flowers,
For which we've fought for years
How dark appears lifes coming hours,
When hearts are drowned in tears.
1 now must yield to Yankee laws,
Yet be this my life's proudest boast,
I've spent my best years in the cause,
That love yet, although it's lost.

Hans in Luck.

Hans had served his master LOT
seven long years, when he said to
him :: Master, my time is now up,
so please to give me my wages, as l
wish to return home to my mother"
The master answered: You have
served me like trusty, honest TEL
low, AS you are, and such as your
services have been, so shall be your
hire"
Thereupon he gave him a piece
of gold as large as his head: Hans
took a cloth and rolled up the lump
of gold, and slung it over his shoui-
der, and began to trudge home. AS
he went along. and kept setting one
foot before the other, he happened to
come up with n traveller. who was
riding at brisk pace on Il lively
horse.
ooh! what delightful thing it
is to ride!" cried Hans aloud: cit
is every bit as good as sitting on
chair: one doesn't knock ones toes
against stone. and one saves ones
shoes, aud yet one gets on, one hard
ly knows how"
The man on horseback having
heard th.s. wise reflections, cried
out to him Nay then, Hans why
do you 60 OH foot! :"
"Why, you See, l am obliged to
carry this lump home" replied Hans
land, gold though it be, it bothers
me sadly, as l am obliged to hold
my head on one side. and it weighs
80 heavily on my shoulder
"I'll tell YOU wh"t.' said the IL
der. stopping his horse, I've can
make barGain. Suppose I We're to
give you my horse. and you We're to
let me have your lump in exchange!'
"That l will, and thank you too,
said Hans; "bnt [ remind You that
Won will have to drag it along as best
you may y.
The tra:eler got down from his
horse, and took the lump of gold and
then helped Hans to mount, and
having placed the bride in his hand.
said to him: "When you want to go
very fast, you have only to smack
Your tongue and cry, Hop hop! y
Hans was in great delight. AS he
sat on the horse, and found he rode
along so easily and so PLEASANTLY
After awhile, however, he iancled he
should like 10 20 little quicker, so
he began to snack his tongue and to
shout: Hop! hop!"
The horse set off at a brisk trot,
and before Hans had time to collect
his thoughts, he was pitched into q
ditch tina, divided the main road
from the adjoining fields. The horse
would have cleared the ditch at a
bound, had he not been stopped by a
peasant, who was driving COW along
the same road, and happened to come
up with the ,ucklcss rider just at
this moment. Hans crawled out OF
the ditch as best he might, and got
npon his legs again. But he was
sorely vexcd, and observed to the
peasant, that riding was no joke, es-
peciallv when one had to do with
troublesome beast that thought moth:
ing of kicking and plunginS' and
breaking mans neck. ana that no
body should ever catch him AGAIN
attempting to mount such danger
GUS animal. Then he concluded 10y
saving Glow far preferable crea
ture is your COW! One can walk
quietly behind her, let alone her fur
nishing you with milk butter an'
cheese for certain, every day: VIVA
would no: give to have such co"
for my own!' .c, -,
"Well," said the peasant, lit that;
all, I should not mind changing my
cow for your horse ,
i Hans agreed most joyfully to sucf
IL proposal, and the peasant leapes
Into the saddle and was presently

in a wheslbarrow, he conversed with
him, and spoke thus
"Lord now who would have
it 2" said Hans, stroking his
hair over his forehead. at is, to be
sure, all very we'll TO have such an
amin al as that to kill, particularly as
it yields such a lot of meat; but
then 1 don't much relish cows flesh:
it is not half juicy enough for me-
I'd much rather have young pig
like yours. The flesh is far more
tasty, to say nothing of the sausa-
ges."
ON tell you what, Hans" quoth
the butcher, "I'll let you have my
pig in exchange for your cow, just
out Of kindness"
"Now that's very good of you,
upon my word" replied Hans, as he
gave him the COW, while the butcher
took the pig out of the wheelbarrow,
and put the string that was tied
round the animals leg into his new
masters hand.
AS Hans went along he could not
help marvelling at his constant run
of luck, which had regularly turned
every little disappointment to the
very best account. After time he
was overtaken by lad who was
carrying a fine white goose under
his arm. They no sooner bid one
another good morrow, than Hans re-
lated how lucky he had been, and
what advantageous bargains he had
struck. The lad told him, in turn,
that he was carrying the goose to a
christening dinner. only just feel
how heavy it Isl" continued he, TAX
ing the goose up by the wings; cit
has been fattening these eight weeks.
I'll be bold to say that whoever
tastes a slice of it when it comes to
be roasted, will have to wipe away
the fat from each corner OF his
mouth"
cay" said Hans. as he weighed it
in one hand, dit is heavy enough to
be sure, but my pig is not to be
sneezsd at either"
Meanwhile the lad was looking all
round him with an anxious air, and
then shook his head as he observed !:
dts my mind your pig will get you
into trouble. 1 have just come
through village where the mayors
pig was stolen out Of its sty, and I'm
NIGHTLY afraid it's the very pig you
are now driving. 1t would be bad
job for you if you were caught with
it, and the least that could happen
to you would be a lodging in the
black hole
Poor Hans now began to be
frightened. For goodness sake, D
cried he, "do help me out of this
scrape; and, as you know this neigh
borhood better than 1 do, pray take
my pig in exchange for your goose.
II know l shall run some risk, .
replied the lad. "yet I haven't the
heart to leave you IT. the lurch.'
And 80 saying he took hold Of the
rope and drove away the pig as fas'
as he could into by way, while
honest Hans pursued his road with
the goose under his arm.
when I come to think of it,
said he, to himself, II have gained
by the exchange. In the first place
a nice roast goose is delicious NOR
sell; then there will be the fat ane
the dripping to spread upon ou
bread for months to come; and las
of all, the beautiful white feather
will serve to fill my pillow, and II
warrant | shall not want rocking t
sleep. How pleased my mother will
be - .,
AS he passed through the last vii
lage on his way home, he saw a knife
grinder busily turning his Wheel
while he kept singing:

"it is golden business. Your true
knife grinder is a man who finds
money as often as he puts his hand
into his pocket. But where did you
buy that fine goose ?" II did not
buy it but exchanged it for my pig"
+'And where did you get piggy from?"
II swopped my COW for it." ''And
how did you come by your cow -
|"Oh! I gave a horse for it, "And
how might you have obtained the
horse o. "Why, I got it in exchange
for a lump of gold as big as my
head" "And how did you come by
the gold r. cit was my wages for
seven years service" NAY, then"
said the knife grinder, "since you
have been so clever each time, you
need only manage so as to hear the
money jingle in your pocket every
time you move, and then you will be
q made man. "But how shall set
about that ?'' inquired Hans. you
must turn KIN ife-srinder like myself /;
and nothing is wanting to set you up
in the trade but grindstone the
rest will come of itself. I havesene
here that is tr.ihe worn, but l whit
ask for anything more than your
goose in exchange forit. Shall it be
a bargain ?' allow can you doubt
it," replied Hans; Il shall be the
happiest man on earth. Why, if |
find money as ofte II as I put my hand
in my pocket, what more need l care
for q And he handed him the goose
and took the grin dstone. CHOW"
said the knife grine Ter, picking up a
tolerably heavy Stone that lay on the
ground by him, 'l,e,:e's good solid
Stone into the bargs:i II, on which you
can hammer away, and straighten all
your old crooked nails. You had
better lay it on the top of the other .
Hans did so, and went away quite
delighted. 81 was surely born with
a golden spoon in my mouth" cried
he, while his eyes spark1ed with JOY
"for everything falls out just as pat
as if I were a S Sunday child" In
the mean time, however, having
walked since day break, he now be.
gan to feel tired and very hungry
as he had eaten up all his provisions
in his joy at the bargain he had made
for the COW. By degrees he could
scarcely drag his weary limbs any
farther, and wa.; obliged to stop eve
nv minute to rest from the fatigue Of
CARRYING the two heavy stones. Al
length he could not help thinking
how much better it would be if hi
had not to carry them at all. He
had now crawled like snail up te
a. spring, where he meant to rest
and refresh himself with a COO
draught and for this purpose he
placed the stones very carefully or
the brink of the well. He then sa
down, and was STOPPING over the
we'll to drink, when he happened te
push the stones Inadvertently, ane
plump into the water they tell -
Hans no sooner saw them sink tt
the bottom of the we'll, than he go
up joyfully. and then knelt down te
thank Heaven for having thus mer
cifnllv ridded him Of his heavy bur
den, without the slightest reproacl
on his own conscience. For thes'
stones were the only things tina
stood in his way. There is not 1
luckier fellow than l beneath tn
sum-" exclaimed Hans and with I
light heart and empty hands he nov
bounded along till he reached hi
: mothers home.

The .Re,urn, Of Virginia.

The telegraph yesterday morning re-
nor. ed that Mr.. LINCOLN had expressed
a Willingness to allow Virginia to- sYtaarrI
to the Union" upon her compliance with
certain conditions. We would like to
know by what authority Virginia is de-
clared out of the Union, so that it's pos
sible for her to ""rstnrR,n,, Did the orqi-
nance of secession ion take Virginia, or
south Carolina, or any other Southern
State ont of the Union and dissolve its
allegiance to the Federal constitution
and the geheralsgovernmenta 1fsthe g.
c,ssi IN movement really dissolved the
Union and placed the Southern States
outside of and free from their obilga-
tions so that it is now necessary 1or
them to return" and be readmitted, have
we not, during the past four years, been
wapipp a war of conquest for the snbju-
CATION of an independent powers
1t seems to us that the President
should be more guarded in his language
or explicitly renounce the whole theory
mon which theiwar has been conducted
by the Northern States. We do not be-
lieye that the ordinances of secession
adopted by the several Southern States
possessed any validity whatever, or i'm
paired in any degree, the constitutional
obligations of any State. We do not
believe that any State is out OF the
Union i'm such a sense as to make lt nee
essarv for her to return" or be readlnit-
ted i'm order that she may resume her
former rights and !. obligations. fhe
Southern States have disobeyed the Fed
eral constitution and disregarded the
laws passed in conformity Herewith, but
still their obligations have not been can
celed but have existed during the past
four years just as they have during all
the wears since the Union was formed.
Wehave always understood thisto be the
true theory of our government, ami HAT
tb. war has been waged to compel the
people of the Southern States t" obey the
Constitution and the laws. The moment
they cease to resist the authority ct the
United States the object of the war Is ac-
complished; and, without any formal
'retnrn," or act of readmissioiI, or com
pliance with any other conditions than
the Constitution imposes, the States take
their places in the Union as though they
had never sought t" rebel. Any other
theory recognizes the validity of the act
of secession and the independence of the
Southern Confederacy and places the
United States government in the posi-
ton of waging war for the destruction
of ii neighboring and independent power.
As the Southern States have not east Oft
their con ,titutional obligations, neither
have they forfeited their rights. They
are still bound by the one and entitled
to the other, and the moment that resist
ance ceases they become as fully and
complet@Se s ese9 members Of the Fey
