the shore OF the Adriatic sea, the wives
Of the fishermen, whose husbands have
gone far out upon the deep, are in the
habit at eventide, Of going down to the
sea shore and singing as female voices
only can, the first stanza Of beautiful
hymn; after they have sung it, they
lisiea till they hear, borne by the wind
across the desert sea, the second stanza,
sung by their gallant husbands as they
are tossed by the gale upon the waves,
and both are happy. Perhaps, if we
too, might hear on this desert world Of
ours, some sound, some whisper borne
from afar, to remind US that there is
heaven, and a home; and when we sing
the hymn upon the shores Of earth, per
haps we shall hear its sweet echoes
breaking in music upon the sand Of
time, and cheering the hearts of them
that are pilgrims aud strangers and,

We should like to transfer the whole
of this admirable address to our columns
this, however, is rendered unnecessary
by the fact that it has been printed in the
davies of the city. We would commend
it's careful perusal to all our readers.
Would that the lesson of :: patience, for
bearance and charity" which it so ad-
mirably inpresses might reach all hearts,
and dispose to the practise of these so
much needed virtues, never more needed
than now. We cannot forbear giving a
single extract.
"My only hope is In the peaceful re"
establishment of good government, and
It's peaceIul maintenance afterwards. And
farther, the most hopeful prospect TO this
end now, is the res grafton OF the old
Union, aud with it, the speedy return OF
flaternal feeling throughout its length
and breadth. These results depend upon
the people themsel, es-upon the people
OF the North, quite as h-ucb as the people
of the South--upoL their virtue, intelll-
gence and patriotism. | repeat, have
faith in the American people, in their
virtue, intelligence and patriotism. But
for this should long since have despair
ed. Dark aud gloomy as the present
hour is, I do not despair of free institu
tions. Let but the virtue, intelligence
aud patriotism of the people throughout
the whole country be properly appealed
to, aroused, and brought into action and
all may yet be we'll. The masses, every,
where, are alike equally interested In the
great object. Let old issues, old questions,
old differences and old ftuds be regarded
as fossils of another epoch. They belong
to what may hereafter be considered the
Silurian period of our history. Great
new questions are before US. Let it not
be said in this day, not yet passed, of GU

there was party for Caesar, party for

ADDRESS OF HON. A. Fl.
go. STEPHENS.

This address was given Feb. 22d, be-
fore the General Assembly of the State
of Georgia. Amidst the multitude of
excited, prejudiced and infammatory ap-
peals which are constantly issued from the
Press, and uttered in the deliberalive
assembly, this calm, wise, statesmanlike
spee;h is perfectly refreshing 1t would
be this coming from whom it might. It's
well~consdered and judicious councils
Commend themselves by their intrinsic
force and authority. AS coming from

as such, be has sustained to the people

CONGRESS.

The last few weeks have been spent
by Congress, in discussing questions that
interest every citizen in this country,
This was to be expected. For political
reasons, the greatest war of modern times
was fought It having ended, it was
natural to suppose that the questions,
about which we fought, should still agi-
tate the public mind. Most Of the
Southern States, having lost their 'prac-
tical relations with the General Govern
ment, it is necessary to decide what their
status now is. This question has been
discussed for weeks, nearly every MEM
Der having his own theory. At last, on
the 10th, day of February, ''the House
by large majority passed resolution
declaring that the rebellion deprived the
people of the South of all civil rights,
and it becomes the duty of Congress to
enable them to organize their State Gov
ernment, and that the President is fully
justified in mai tanning the suspension of
tie writ of babeas corpus, and in keep
ing troops for the protection of Union
citizens and freedmen
On the 22d, day of February, stevens
resolution to deprivethe Southern States
of representation until declared fit by
Congress, passed the House by a vote of
100 to 40"
This virtually decides that the South
ern States shall not be represented this
year.
A bill to enlarge che powers of the
FreeGman's Bureau passed the House of
Representatives and Senate, but was ve-
toed by the Presid Mt. We regret very
much tbs a,tion of the President, and
we predict that the Southern people will
yet regret it. The Freedman's Bureau
now exercises as much authority as this
bill conferred. True it is now based upon
military necessity, and is enforced by
military authority. This, in our opinion,
is more Objectionable than the proposed
law for all parties must then understand
their legnl rights and remedies.
But the veto of this bill by the Presi.
dent is of greater sign fcance that at first
appears 1t has been known for several
weeks that maj rity in Congress differ
ed from the President as to the best plan
of reconstruction. The President de-
sires to see the Southern representatives
admitted to Congress Immediately. A
majority of his party friends are opposed
to admitting them at present. 1t was
hoped that the President and Congress
wouid act together, and, by SO doing,
settle the grave questions now under dis
cusson satisfactorily to good men North
and South. But now this settlement is
postponed. The future looks dark, and
we predict, that we are entering upon
the greatest political contest that has
ever ag,tated the people of the country
a contest, in which, we OF the South
must be for the most part spectators;
not Indifferent spectators, for it is about
us that the political battle is fought. The
issue is fairly joined. The President de-
mands that the Southern representatives
shall be admitted to Congress, and Con-
gress replies by its acts, They shall not
be admitted at present.
The President rejoins: " | appeal to
the people" Congress accepts the issue
