I And the people OF the South wAxed angry against

saying:

OF the North, but viii separate and country

ourselves; = = E'aTE = :

North who will prevent for they are Yankees and

we are brave and not afraid OF blood. sh <

u.s. We will cut them on from among their people and
paint them black and they shall be hewers wood and
drawers Of water for us and for our households.
3. But the OF the North called their wise men to.
gether. and all their great captains and their mighty
men OF vaor and made them Ships and slnes of war
8. And ssd TO the Of the South you shall not 90
out from us neither shall you destroy this government
which our fathers have built and II you will remain
with us as brethren we will hold you captises

silver and copper disappeared from the face Of the

tribe which dwslt between the waters Of the Ohio and

together: Go to now, why should lack for money

Q. And they answered him Go and grind that we
lack not for money wherewth to purchase for our
men, and hard-,ack and pork to feed them.

The Next Congress.

In the new Senate there will be thlr-
ty-eight Republicans and eleven DEM
pcrats, with one vacant In Iowa. Four
Southern States have elected Union
Senators, but whether they will be re-
ceived or not is question yet to be de-
termined. In the House there exists
three vacancies In the delegations OF
loyal States, one caused by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Gooeh, of Massachusetts.
to the Office of Surveyor of the Port OF
Boston, one by the appointment Of Mr..
timore, and one by the fact that tho re-
suit of the election in Nevada has not
been heard of; but all these vacancies
will soon be tliied by loyal men Of q 90
called radical complexion, most prob
ably. According to tho party division
that existed during the war, the House
now stands one hundred aud forty Re-
publicans to forty-onc Democrats; but
on the great question Of at once admit
ting the representatives Of the Southern
states, or keeping them, or most OF
them, Tor II longer period In probation,
it is not probable that the same propor-
tions will be preserved. From the prev
ent indications all tho rebel States, ex-
cept, perhaps, Texas, will have gone
through the forms of demonstrating the
Constitutions and electing members Of
both Houses Of Congress before tho Sec
ond Monday Of December, when tho
session opens. Should ali the Statcs
now without representatives, whose
Senators and Representatives are yet to
be elected, choose Democrats opposed
to universal suffrage, as IL Is 10 be ex-
pected they will do, and should they
all be admitted, the Senate will then
contain forty-seven Republicans and
twenty seven Democrats, and tile House
of Representatives would contain one
hundred and fifty Republicans to nine.

The stars upriSe and fall;
Our roll of martyrs, sad and slow,
Let signing breezes call.

And link with toll reward. 49,.

DEAR SIR:--I was so much impressed
with our conversation of last Tuesday,
that returned immediately to my room
and wrote down such of the points rs !
could remember, and having pondcred
them all the way home, am, to-day,
more than ever convinced that, If corr
rected by you and returned to me for
either public or private use, IL will go
far to produce good understanding be-
tween you and our leading men. -.
1t will also unite the public mind in
favor of your plan, SO far at least ga you
would carry it out without modification.
You are aware that do not associate
much with men In political life, but
rather with those who, representing the
earnestly labor for the good Of our peo-
pie, without hope OF, or even desire for.
Office or other immediate reward. The
latter class desire earnestly to under
stand your plans, a.id, If possible, sup-
port your administration. ..r.. II
| l think the publication OF your pro
cess of reconstruction, with the reasons
for your faith in 1T, will commend itseli
to their candid Judgment, and, as L told
you, inspire our whole Northern people
with confidence in your administration
The report Is meagre and unsatistac-
tory, but / think 1t conveys, for the
most part, the spirit of our conversation.
! Therefore, although the whole tenor OF
| your words led me to believe II was not
intended to be kept private, + have re-
Trained from answering the specific in
quiries of anxious friends, whom met
on my way home, lest might, in some
way, leave wrong impression on their
minds. -|#.t. "..

tavern and sto"ehouse upon it, and upon a lot
of piles driven near by they erected ware
house These buildings were occupied by
Amos Bird, and from that tine up to the year
1888 the locality was known as Birds Point, -
having formerly been designa ted as the ''mouth
OF the Ohio Amos Bird carried on business
in these buildings until the year 1882, when he
was swept by the Asiatic cholera, which
at that time so fearfully ravaged the country.
He was succeeded, I believe, by Col Walter
Falls, who continued the store, the tavern af-
erwards being taken in hands by a man named
Jones The river business, or rather the for
warding business, amounted to about nothing
the only river patronage bestowed upon the
''Poiut'' being the purchase of wood by steam
boats, and of bacon, whisky, ETC., by parties
from passing ''broad horns" No steamboats,
laid up here until the summer of 1889.
John Bird located on the point in Missouri,
near the spot where his present residence
stands, in the year 1915. He saw the great
food of that year and says that for several
days in succession the surface ofthe Ohio was
covered with pumpkins. The country for
many miles around, on that side Of the river
continued an unmarried wilderness for many
years afterwards. Prices landing was not set

We copy, with satisfaction, the following
rejection OF the New York Neacs by the Rich

1.-THE Boston Evening Transcript speaks of
the New York Daily Neacs as a journal which
is plainly conducted in the interests Of the
South There never was a greater mistake.
The Southern people are responsible in no way
or shape for the utterances OF the Netps, or any
other journal in the Northern States. Nor has
it any sympathy with the school OF politicians
in the North which the NepS represents, for
the, natural and good reason that they do not
understand our condition and have no real sym
