Mansfield, the name Of which has become his.

which has long maintained good reputation.
This building, after the battle there, served as a
hospital for 500 wounded, These, with the 1900
in other places received every attention from the
ladies' Of the place. Half the number were Fede-
rails, butno distinction was made between friend or
foe in the attention from the excellent ladies'. Our
brigade was furnished with garments for our 200
wounded
Passing over this memorable ground all the

MONDAY MORNING, MAY I, 1866.


When age bends DER some childish form,
Which lies a white and beauteous corse,
Whose soul has fled from lifa's fair scenes
Why do its lips SO codly cry,
"Tis better thus" or happy they
Who die unspotted of the world ~
BY the fierce anguish Of that hour
Wherein the gift of life's bestowed,
And by the deep wild rapturous thrill,
And unbreathed thanks that oft swell
The heart, for the great miracle,
tits glorious thing to live
When slowly wandering through the soft
And tender Verdure of the spring,
Ere the thirsty sunbeams have drank
The cooling dews of balmy night,
If VIE lilybud find snapped
From off the parent stem, and left
To fade and fall away to dust,
Why is it that we vainly pause,
And sorrow that its beauties now
Can meier unfurl, to greet the eye
In all their excellence, and thus
Its mission gil to gIorify
The brown and sombre sod, and yield
From out its waxen ohalice, sweets
Unto the air, or honied stores
For thrifty bees, or humming birds
Or if perchance some careless foot
We find has crushed the humble worm
Which in her wise appointed time
Kind Nature would have clothed anew,
In form and tint SO fair to see,
That it might rival Heavens own bow,
Or midst wreaths clustered in the west
When summers sun slow sinks
From US, to wake the neither world
Why do we sigh and think the fate
Unkind which barred thing so mean
From the perfection which it might
Have known, within its proper sphere
If thus we mourn the lot of flower
Untimeiy cropped, or creeping worm
That fills not up the measure of
Its destiny, who may limit
The sum Of grief that we lavish
On the early dead-the sweet bud
And chrysalis of human life.
Who dare say tits better far
To lay this marvellous form away
To feed decay than that it should
Attain the grace and dignity
0ffuller years, and lend its aid
To light the darkness of the world.
With such gifts Of genius, or virtue
Bright, as Heaven itself bestowed.
What need for rest within the grave,
For youthful brow, and 1.-the young limbs
Unwearied with life's holiday,
That rest which comes SO sweet for those
Who are spent e'en when conquest proud
Is theirs. Who dreams eternal bliss
So dear to those whose earthly stay
Was all unmarried by cross or crime
AS It's, when all its rapture's felt,
After the fierce temptations past
Or following on repentance.
Oldage may say It's we'll to die
In life's sweet morn, but nature shows
We rightly mourn the early dead,
However we bow to that great will
Who worketh good from seeming i'll.

New Orleans, May l. 1856.
Ed. GreScent-I sent you few days ago, a few
feebly expressed ideas with regard to the horors
due the " Confederate dead - and again presume
on your good nature, in requesting your ideas on
the following questions, which l assure you hive
troubled me not a little ..-..
In what respect would the government Of the
United States be benefited; in what respectNoud
the Constitution be strengthened; in what repect
would the restoration of harmony and good feeling
between the North and South (Which seems,o be
the Presidents chief aim) be effected by theexe-
cution or Imprisonment of Jefferson Davis? some
one may answer the law must be carrie out
and if Mr. Davis is found guilty of high tsason
against the United States, he must take th con-
sequences" If Mr.. Davis is guilty Of treaOn, is
he any more guilty than many others who ae per
mtted to go free and unmolested wherevG they
will? Is Mr.. Davis more guilty than is tie most
humble private of the late Confederate States
army? And if so, why? Did Mr.. Darts mite the
peopleto do what they did? When tie States had
seeded, and a separate government was formed
did Mr.. Davis solicit the position as President of
that government, or was he called there by the
unanimous voice of the Southern pOple? Wash
ington was given the same title by ne British as
Davis was by his Northern enemies, "Rebel
Chieftan." George Washington vas victorious,
while Jefferson Davis was defeated. Is it possible
then that the mere fact of victory ustifes chief
| in his resistance.
| Again, | ask, in what manner Yould the gov
eminent of the United States be hneftted by his
execution! President johnson las, since the
close of the war, given many idications of a
disposition to do right let him My liberate the
captive chief and he will cause Is memory to be
engraved on the hearts of Thousands of grateful
| Souherners. May the Angel of Mecy hover around
him and continually whisper, in ines too entreat-
ing to be unheeded, 81 Liberate Oh liberate the
captive chief, and gladden. tn hearts of his
bereaved family and of his countymen."
Mr.. Davis, once liberated, 7ould become a
hearty supporter of the Constitution. 1t is my
conviction that he would be astruly loyal to the
United States as he was beforethe late struggle
May the God of justice and trut, who decided the
contest against u.s. soften the harris of those that
thirst for the blood of the fallerchief whose only
crime is an unfinehing devotioIto, and patriotic
love of, his native South, in astruggle which he
thought was right! And WIN this corrupted
world shall tremble at the Substituting notes o.
the last trumpet, which warnshem that the tint
is come when all must apper before the iudg
ment seat of the Greater may President johnson
be enabled to recall, with happy feeling o
} right, Jefferson Davis being h witness, the word
OF promise, Blessed are t. merciful, for theJ
shall obtain mercy .4.

me: but this is a subject which ] am deeDN

Tie YoIks Fest and the Mai-Fest, which are, in
fact, one and the sane festival, celebrated under
different auspices, hive been keeping the city
alive since early yesterday morning, and all the
world seems determined to enjoy them. We are
not going to say mun about them here, because
the records Of themgill be given elsewhere; but
we thought our rea9rs might like to have an ink
ling of THE manner which our German contem
porary, the Tagich Deutsche zeitung, is taking

is enthusiastic in is notice Of them, and antci
pates that they will 1e enjoyed with zeal never
surpassed in New 'rleans. That will be readily
enough inferred without our entering into particu
lars to illustrate it. But beyond this, the zetung
OF yesterday has anpde to the Volksfest, by Her
man Wiedeman, of which we thought they might
like to hear specimen. We do not mean to
trouble them with much of it, first, because we
believe that the original is one of those things Of
which little will goa great way with our readers,
and secondly, becaus much less of our rendering
of it will go just asfar. Here are Herr Wiede-

KEEPING APPLES IN WINTER.


AT the last State Fair in this city, Delos
Rundall had on exhibition Russet Apples
grown a year ago. These apples were
nlump. fresh and of good favor, quite as
rood as the same kind of apples are ordi-
narily on the approach of spring. We in
ouired as to the manner of keeping, and
were informed that the apples were put up
in the refuse boxes obtsiaed at the groceries,
and in the following manner: A layer of
drv saw-dust was sprinkled at the bottom OF
the box. and then layer of apples placed
in it so that they did not touch each each
other. Upon these was placed layer OF
saw-dust, and so on till the box was filed.
The boxes after being packed in this way
were placed on the wall in the cellar, up
from the ground, where they, perfectly re-
tanning their freshness and flavor, until
brought out and exhibited at the Fair. He
says that he has kept apples in this way
some months later than the time named.
From experiments made with dry sand,
packing the apples in the same way, he finds
that saw-dust is much superior to the sand,
the latter he thinks being too heavy ma
terial, and pressing the apples too much,
causing them to decay more rapidly than
with the saw-dust. The above experiment,
perhaps, may be suggestive to those desir-
ing to preserve apples late In the season Of
next year.
1t will be needless to remark, perhaps,
that no apple will keep late, by any process
of packing, that has been bruised or injured
in packing. Apples should be handled
carefully, and the less moving about, after
having been picked the better. A large
part of the fruit grown and sold in market,
has been so injured by careless gathering,
pouring into barrels aad rough handling
while being driven to market, that it soon
decays, under whatever treatment it lIay be
subjected for the purpose of keeping = Utica
Herald.
A correspondent OF the Country Gentle
man, on the same subject, says on
ask for the experience Of others in reference
to picking apples. My experience is that
apples should be kept in dry building un-
til quite cold weather then very carefully
packed over are headed in an air-tight bar
rel and remove to cool cellar They Will
keep better than any other treatment have
ever tried A cellar for keeping fruit
should be well drained, but should not have
the bottom made of hydraulic cement
Cement prevents evaporation, and as the
GOODNESS Of cellar is caused by evaporation
mainly, it is important that nothing be done
to prevent this.
