From New orleans.

New Orleans, Jan. ia private letter
from GAINESVILLE, Texas, received here, says
that the 118th Colored Infantry had captured
Bagdad. They plundered the place, killing
many of the people. The scene was indie
scribable The negroes shot men down tn the
streets for refusing to give4up their money.
The Times has letter saying that the at
lacking party numbered about sixty men, and
they captured nearly three hundred prisoners,
half of whom they turned over to the Liberals.
Crawford and Escobedo, on receipt of the
intelligence, started for Bagdad, where the
latter, who was in command, requested Gen.
Weitzel to let him have twenty men to pre-
serve order, which was granted.
French shelled the town all day on the 9th,
but without damage.

Our public men of talent and influence have
hitherto devoted themselves almost exclusively
to Federal politics. While they debated the
of 1898 and go, and discussed
with mastery ability in the Federal Councils
the subjects of Bank Tariff, Distribution, and
the Constitutional power of the General Gov
eminent upon the question of Internal I'M
provements, the fortunes of the State have
been waning, and her material strength and
prosperity have been gradually diminishing.
Other and younger States, carved from the
immense territory which, in her bountiful mu-
ni6cence she gave away for the general well
fare, have outstripped her in the race for ma
terisl aggrandzement, and instead of being
the first State in the Union which her own
sons were mainly instrumental in creating, she
has gradually dwindled, until she has reached
her present diminished proportions But now
since the great doctrines of Constitutional
Government and Republican Liberty for which
her sons have so long battled in the National
Councils, have been decided against her at the
point Of the bayonet, and by the logic of num-
bers, let us hope, that with redoubed energy
and unfaltering purpose, they will address
themselves to the task of developing her vast
resources and reinstating her to her proper
position of material grandeur and power
Since it has been determined by the force of
arms that " men, high-minded men, who know
their rights, and knowing, dare maintain them,
do not constitute State" let us determine to
make her State in the modern acceptation of
the term She has all the natural resources
and capabilities which are requisite, and moth
ing is wanting but spirit of enterprise on
the part of her sons. Let them determine for
the future to throw Federal politics to the
dogs, and exert all their talent and all their
influence in the great work of regenerating
the Old Commonwealth, and restoring her to
that proud eninence which is due to the
Mother of States and statesmen"

Washington, Jan. 19.-In the Senate to-day,
Senator Nesmith made speech on the joint
resolution of Senator Howe, to provide Provi-
sional Governors, in which he endorsed the
President and advocated bis generous policy
towards the South He looked upon negro
suffrage, which he termed a radical remedy
for all ills, as remedy worse than the dis
ease. He said that the war was fought to
deny the right Of secession; and to hold that
the South was out of the Union, was to &C
knowledge the right Of secession as having
been accomplished.
Senator Wade gave the President full credit
for what had been done; honored him for the
manner in which he had done it; but said he
had failed to put the keystone upon the arch
he had built, and if left where it was, ruin
would inevitably follow. He said to Presiden t
johnson, to the Democratic party, and to the
people Of the United States; he would never
yield the controversy until all men in America
stand upon equal footing in every respect be-
fore the world
In the House to-day, Mr.. Delano, from the
Committee on Claims, made report to be re-
lieved from the consideration of claims grow
ing out of the destruction or appropriation of
property by the Army and Navy during the

claims would embarrass the public credit and
leod to increased taxation
The House was nearly all day discussing
the bill extending suffrage in the District Of

Though a man of very strict principles, no
man ever enjoyed joke more than Dr. Byron:
he had a vast fund OF humor, and very ready
wit, and with children, particularly, he loved
to chat familiarly and draw them out. As he
was once passing into the house, he was accost
ed bv very little boy who asked him if he
wanted any sauce, meaning vegetables. The
doctor inquired if such a tiny thing was a
market man. "No, sir, my father Is, was
the prompt answer.
The Doctor said, Bring me in some squash
es.'' and passed into the house, sending, out
the change. In few moments the child II re-
turned, bringing back part OF the change. Ihe
Doctor told him he was welcome to 1t Dut the
child would not take it back, saying MS 1athel
would blame him. Such strange manners IN u
child attracted his attention, and he began tC
examine the boy attentiVely; he was eVidenty
poor, his jacket was pieced and patched WIZ
every kind Of cloth, and his trowsers darneS
with so many colors that it was difficult 10 tel
the original fabric, but scrupulously neat ant
clean withal. The boy very quietly endured
the scrutiny of the Doctor, while holding hin
at arms length, and examining his face. A
| last he said:
/ You seem nice little boy; won't you com
and live with me and be doctor?''
Yes, sir, said the child.

ting his head as he dismissed him.
4 A few weeks passed on, when one day Jir
came to say there was little boy down stairs
waiting to see the Doctor, and would not te
his business to any one else.
"Send him up," was the answer; and in
few moments he recognized the boy of th

POET r Y
GOING H0ME.

Where are you goirg so fast, old man,
Where are you going SO fast
There's valley to cross and river 10 ford,
There's a clasp of the hand and parting word,
And tremulOus sigh for the past, old man,
The beautiful vanished pest.
The road has been rugged and rough old man,
To your feet it's rugged and rough,
But you dear being with gentle eyes,
Has shared in your labor and sacrifce
All that has been sunshine enough, old nan,
For you and me. enough.
How long since you passed over the hill cid man,
Of life, DER the top of the hilli
We're there beautiful valleys on t'Oher sidsi
Were there flowers and trees with ther branches vide
To shut nut the heat of the sun, old man.
The heat Of the lervd sum-
And how did you cross the waves old man,
Ofsorrow, the fearful wavesl
Did YOU lay your dear treasures Nv. one by one.
With en- schng heart and Gods will bs dous,"
Under the wayside dust old man,
In the graves meath the waysiLs dast2
There is labor and sorrow for all, old man,
Alas! there is SORROW for all.
And you, perad venture have had your share,
For eighty long winters have whitsned your hair,
And they've whilened your heart az well, old man,
Thank God, your heart as well.
Yos're now at the foot of the hill, cid man,
AT last at the foot of the hill;
The sun has gone down in golden glow,
And he heavenly city lies just below;
Go in through the peary gate, old man,
The beautiful pearIy gate.

Written for the "Smyrna Times"
siaful Pleasure Brings Trouble.

"Rejolce, 0 young man, in thy youth and lot
thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy YOUTH and
walk IN the ways of thine heart, and in the sight OF
thine eyes bnt know now, that or all these things
God will bring thee into Judgment"
This beautiful, ironical sentence of King
Solomon e, was amply realized during the early
part of the present century, in the life and
death OF one Of the proud Sovereigns of Eu-
rope. Ills example was given us in one of the
most enlightened Protestant countries in that
quarter Of the globe. He was descended from
long line of regal ancestors, and from the
death OF his eldest brother soon inherited the
title of the Prince Of Wales. On account of
the mental alterations of the King, in,his
youth he was proclaimed Regent of vast en-
pire, upon which the Sun never sets.
This august Prince of whom we write, had
all the advantages derived from the position Of
birth, and he so exceed in all the accomplish
ments and re6nements of life, that he was uni
versally proclaimed by the fashionable world
to be the greatest gentleman in Europe Such
were his appearance and address, that an
American lady from this Peninsula, who visit
ed Great Britain in those days recognized him
among his noblemen at once, as the Prince Re-
gent.
His life was literal realization Of the verse
we have selected from Ecclesiastes He rcjoic-
ed in his youthful beauty and strength, and
the power that was granted to him by Parlia-
ment as Regent, when acting for his imbecile
father. He had all Of this worlds gifts of
greatness and grandeur bestowed upon him in
his youth, and he enjoyed it in way as if God
required no accountability of his stewardship.
lie was prodigal in the extreme of his means.
