A Poem by LongfelIow.
KILLED AT THE FORD.


He is dead, the beautiful youth,
The heart OF homo the tongue Of truth
He, the light and life of US all,
Whose voice was blithe as bugle call,
Whom all eyes followed with one consent,
The cheer of whose laugh, and whose pleasant
word
flushed all murmurs of discomfort.
Only last night, as we rode along,
Down the dark OF the mountain gap,
To vi it the picket-guard at the ford,
Little dreaming of any mishap,
II g was humming the words Of some old song
81 Two red roses he had on his cap,
And another he bore a. the point of bis sword"
Sudden and swift whistling ball
Came out of the wood and the voice was still
Something heard in the darkness fall,
And Ior a moment my blood grew chill;
! 8. axe in whisper, as he VINO speaks
In room where some one lying dead .f1
But he made no answer to what l said.
We lifted him up on his saddle again,
And through the mire and the mist and the rain
Carried him bacS TO the silent camH,
And laid him if asleep ol his DO
And saw by the light Of the surgeons lamp
Two white roses upon his cheeks, 1-'' @
And one just over his heart blood red
And saw in vision how far aud feet
That fatal bullet went speeding foI til
ill it reached town in the distant North, &,
Till 1t r ached house in sunny street, ..
TIL 1t reached heart that ceased to boat
Without murrur, without cry; 49,.
And beA was tolled in that far-of town,
For one who had passed from cross to crown
And the neighbors wondered that she should die.

Coed News.

The following good news we find in
the Washington correspondence of the
Chicago Tribune, Radical Disunion
paper. lie says:
think there can be no longer
reasonable doubt that the days of the
Freedmen's Bureau are numbered and
finished in the Executive purpose. The
speciol commissioners, whom you very
Justly handled in the editorial columns
a few days since, were not sent out to
ascertain the workings of the Bureau,
bad and good, but were sent to discover
and detail abuses, larger and smaller,
all that could be found, that their re.
port might constitute true bill of in
dictment upon which the President, as
final judge and only jury, might con
denim the entire organization to abo-
lition."

SHELBY County REGISTRATION. - We
understand that Mr.. j. D. Davis of this
city has received the appointed of Re.
gistration Commissioner for Shelby
county. 1t this be true applicants for
registration under the new Franchise
Law have delightful prospect ahead.
Mr.. Davis is probably the most furious
of all the Memphis Radical JacObins.
His ideas of loyalty are those of few, if
any, in the community. The old gen
tleman will doubtless regard all who
agree with him in toto as loyal; the 9th
ers very bad fellows indeed. Accord
ing to his theory there is Just one simon
pure loyal man in Memphis and his
name is J. d. Davis. Yet j. D. D. is
chosen to pass upon the qualifications
of every applicant for registration in
Shelby county. Great country, thisl-

The ramifcations of the Freedmen
Bureau are manifold and inexplicable.
1t is whispered in the cHr0niglC Scdrada-
ls1lss of Richmond that the episode of
the virgin of the founders of Rome has
lately repeated itself in the CAPITOL of
Virginia, the chief actors therein being
Rhes Silvia probably from Massa-
chusetts) who has been attending TO
the mental and moral advancement of
one of the Freedmen's schools, and a
sable Mars, who "loved not wisely but
too well" and the "demnition total"
as Mr.. Mantilini would say, has been a
sort Of composite Romulus and Remus,
which deserve, as they will doubtless
receive, the promptest attention from
the Joint Committee just appointed by
Congress to look up ireedmens affairs
in the south. Being "loyal' affair all
round, the Committee should have no
hesitation in sending for persons and
papers" and clearing up this dark
mystery.-N T. Exchange
