Vno Confederate Dead.
Ihe Richmond Times makes the
fol lowing singular appeal in behalf OF
the Confederate dead. It is not with
out reason:
But if the United States, while col.
lectlng the bones of its soldiers.
should also gather together and honor
In some appropriate way, the dust
OF our fallen heroes, how grateful it
would be to our feelings. An act like
that would cover the Government
with more glory than did the victories
OF its vast and countless hosts. It
would bring tears to the eyes and
loyalty to the hearts of the widows
and orphans of the South, and it
would be felt and deeply appreciated
by our whole people. The grandeur
and the magnanimity of such a deed
would cause the world to resound
with applause, and no nation would
ever better deserve praise and glory
for such an action. Here, then, is a
way to let the hearts of North and
South beat once more in unison. Let
this great Government show that it's
vengeance does not extend beyond
life and the grave; that it can feel for
and honor its brave children after
they are dead, even though it consi-
dered them In error while living; that
after death it no longer regarded
them as enemies and s'rebels," but
as Paladins and Bayards of noble va
lor. Peace has been made with the
hving-why not with the dead? And
If the bones of Union soldiers are to
be collected, why not render the
same sad Office to those who fell bv
their hands? Shall the Government
agents, while they are collecting the
remains OF their own men, cast away
the bones ofours, if by mistake they
have gathered them up? The most
calous and yindictive would not will
ingly do SO.
The foregoing suggestion is in
harmony with the following remarks
of the Chicago Times:
1t Is to be hoped that one of the
lessons the future will learn from the
late war is that this nation is DOS
sessed of impr' enable unity. This is
IS all that needs to be learned. In
fighting the South, we fought not to
perpetuate hostility. but to allay it.
We labored to secure more in places
OF less oneness. Our fighting will
have been in vain if all the hatred
and recrimination and mutual mis-
understanding of the war are per
petuated.
Therefore, the sooner we adapt our
selves to asubstantial unity of feel
ing, the sooner shall we have secured
the main object of the contest on the
part of the North. To attain this
end, we must as speedily rs possible
drop the name of traitor. We
must recognize to the full the gallan-
try and purity Of those who fought.
The bad men on both sides must be
to oblivion, and the good
men embalmed in the memory of the
people and preserved as the common
OF the nation. The uncalled-
for and disgraceful malignity # radi-
Gals may delay, but it cannot wholly
prevent, the coming of time in
which the memories of Grant and
Lee, Sherman and Johnston, Sheri-
dan and Stuart, will be regarded as
the property of all the people of this
nation. We venture the prediction
that the time will come when, if there
be any illfeeling in regard to Stone
wall Jackson, it will be one of envy
on the part of the North that she did |
not give birth to this illustrious man.

New Railroad.

The stockholders of the Cheraw
and Coalfields Railroad held their
annual meeting in Charleston ON the
9th inst. Maj. b. D. Townsend was
elected President.
From the reports of the officers,
we learn that the debts of the com
pany are inconsiderable and repre-
sented in Confederate currency, while
It's assets for the prosecution of the
work consists of about 1915, 600. in
the capital stocks of the North
eastern and Cheraw and Darlington
Railroad Companies.
About ten miles of the road have
been graded, and comparatively little
work is necessary toprepare the road
bed to receive the superstructure as
far as the North Carolina line.

TROUBLE IN MISSISSIPPI. pI.-The Mis-
aissippi Index says:
We learn that on the oath ult., a
crowd of persons assembled at
Greensboro, the county seat of Choc
taw County, for the avowed purpose
OF preventing the holding of the
Circuit Court in that County. The
Sheriff and Circuit Clerk resigned at
tho request of the mob, and every
thing seemed to work for the success
Of their plans, until Judge Cochran
appointed officers to assist him, when
the business of the court was re-
sumed. We have no information as
to the object which the mob had in

How PRESIDENT JOHNSON Works
The New York Express, speaking of
President johnson. remarks:
The President has an iron constitu-
tion, works from s a. m. to IL and II
p. IN. often, receiving delegations
frequently from 10 in the morning to
II at night, excepting two days in
the week, between the hours of II
and or 3 o'clock, Tuesdays and Fri
days, which he devotes to the regular
meetings of the Cabinet. On pleasant
afternoons he sometimes steals away
one hour to ride abroad. He is not
even free on Sundays, for then Sc.
nators and Representative call as
usual-while business men, office
seekers. cotton brokers and real
friends, disregarding the sacredness
OF the seventh day, seek interviews,
and many obtain them. They did it
throughout Lincoln's administration.
and have done the same during Mr..
Johnson's term thus far. There is
no peace for the President, but he
bears himself with great dignity, de-
termination and courage through all
his tolls and trials.

The cold and cotton cron..

| Under the above heading the Springfield Re-
publican publishes an elaborate article in which
it proves that the gold aud silver mines 81 the
United States will produce half as many dollars
this year as the cotton crop, to which Secretary
McCullOch is looking for so much help in pay
ing of the National debt
In speaking of the cotton crop it says.
The general prospects are good the most
hopeless and unbelieving rebels do not place
the cotton crop below a million and a half Of
bales; and other judgments range from this TO
three million bales, 1t is quite within bounds
we think, to expect crop Of two million bales,
or eight hundred million pounds. The price is
now 4Oc. pound. Estimate it at 25e., at which
rate it can command the English markets; and
we have two hundred million dollars from this
| source alone.
This sum is probably twice the years pro-
duet of gold and silver. The most intelligent
estimates place the yield, in precious metals of
all our mining States and Territories at one hun
dsed millions This will be at least one-third
more than that of 1855 or any other year. Last
years products are estimated at about seventy
FIVE millions.
Our own conviction is that these figures are
too high but so great proportion of the pros
duet Of our mining districts comes to market in
private bags and boxes, often carefully con-
cealed so much that does get recorded at the
mints or in express Offices gets counted twice;
aud so loose and exaggerated are the ideas and
estimates of the people Of the newer and richer
mining districts, that it is impossible to reach
more than An approximation of the truth with
the feeling that this must be generally too high.
But whether our gold and silver crop in 1865
was fifty or seyenty-fve millions. or halfway
between these figures, we may safely count on
ITS being full twenty-five millions more this
year.
Our years product of a hundred millions in
gold and silver will be two-thirds of that of the
whole world or about the same proportion as
our cotton crop bears to the grand total of that
staple. Austria, Russia Mexico, and South
America are good for about fifty millions.
With such preponderating possession Of these
great elements Of wealth-of the real wealth it.
self,-we have only to fear our own folly or cow
ardice in the safe and speedy reconstruction of
our financial and business systems, in the
prompt settlement of our accounts with the
world, and in our continuous and rapid progress
in national power and renown.

RELEASED.

A little low-ceiled room. Four walls
Whose blank shut out all else of life,
And crowded close within their bound
A world of pain and toll, and strife.
Her world. Scarce Furthermore she knew
OF Gods great globe, that wondrously
Outroils glory of green errth,
And frames it with the restless sea.
Four closer walls of common pine
And therein lieth, cold aud still,
The weary flesh that long hath borne
Its patient mystery of ill,
Regardless now of work to do
No queen more careless in her state;
Hands crossed in their unbrokeu calm;
For other hands the work may wait.
Put by, at last, beneath the lid,
The exempted hands, the tranquil face
.Uplift her in her dteamless sleep,
And bear her gently from the place
Oft she hath gazed, with wistful eyes,
Out from that threshold on the night
The narrow bourn she crosseth now;
She standeth in the Eternal Light
Oft she hath pressed with aching feet,
Those broken steps that reach the door
Henceforth with angels she shall tread
Heavens golden stair for ever more.

BABY Looking Out for Me.

Two little busy hands patting on the window
Two laughing, bright eyes looking out at me;
Two rosy red cheeks dented with a dimple;
hOther-bird is coming baby, do you see2
Down by the lilac-bush, something white and
azure
Saw in the window as passed the tree
Well l knew the apron and the shoulder-knots
of ribbon,
All belonged to baby, looking out for me.
Talking low and tenderly
To myself, as mothers will,
Spake | softly, f" God in Heaven
Keep my darling free from i'll.
Worldly gain and worldly honors
Ask | not for her from Thee
But from want and sin and sorrow
Keep her ever pure and free.
Two little waxen hands,
Folded soft and silently;
Two little curtained eyes,
Looking out no more for me
Two little snowy cheeks,
Dimple-deuted nevermore
Two little trodden shoes,
That will never touch the floor
ShOulder-ribbon softly twisted,
Apron folded, clean aud white
These are left me-and these only,
or the childish presence bright.
Thus He sent an answer to my earnest praying,
Thus He keeps my darling free from earthly
stain straying /;
Thus be folds the pet lamb safe from earthly
But miss her sadly by the window pane,
Till | look above it then with purer vision,
Sad, weep no longer the lilac bush to pass,
For see her, angel, pure and white aud sinless,
Walking with the harpers on the of glass
Two little snowy wings
Softly fiutter to and fro
Two tiny childish hands
BeckOn still to me below
Two tender angel eyes
Watch me ever earnestly,
Through the loop-holes Of the stars
Babys looking out for me.

made various and divers threats against bis life,
and started for the cabin of Sherwood, vowing
vengeance all the while. In the meantime, NY
ers, friend of both pafties, started by a more
direct route to Sherwood's cabin and told him to
keep out of the way as Cooper was coming aud
had threatened to take his life. Sherwood
closed the door Of the. cabin and Myers ad-
vanced TO meet Cooper, advising him to drop
the difficulty and return. At this point Joe
Richie, an oticious friend of Cooper's, told him
to " kill the s-n Of b-h." This was within a

SAW HER BUT MoMENT.-She wore hand
some crinoline the day when first we met, and
she scudded like a schooner with a cloud of can
vass set as she swept along the pavement with
a grandeur fit to kill, saw here but moment,
but methinks see her still.
The wind was on bender, and as saucy as a
witch, and it played the very dickens with dust,
dimity and sch the CATERS were delicious
which her feet were made to fill saw her but
moment, yet methinks see her still
She scooted round the corner, and streaming 6
out behind. her crinoline and calico were romp-
ing in the wind to have kept them in position
would have bafied twice her skill = saw her
but moment, yet methinks see her still
shut my eyes trepepdous-I did not want 10
see, a displar of pretty ankles when it WASH
meant for mel and until lose my senses am
sure never WILL saw her but moment, yet
methinks see her still.

GEN. GRANT AS A CANDtbATE.-A Washington
dispatch to the N. Y. Times says " Much of this
speculation is INDUCED in by political partisans
for interested purposes. l can say upon good
authority, that Gen. Grant will, in no event, be
a candidate for the Presidency at the next Pres
idential election, and any use of his name in
that connection is wholly unauthorized aud dep
recated by the General. With reference to the
proposed constitutional amendment, Gen. Grant
has on several occasions said th at be could see
no serions objection to the amendment in itself,
and he in fact approves Of its main features, but
neTeftheless, it is his opinion that the Southern
loyal representatives should have been first ad-
mitted to their seats, and an opportunity given
them to vote on the joint resolution to amend
the Constitution before the same was submitted
to the several State Legislatures. In brief, his
views on the latter proposition are identical
with those of the President"
