The Dead soldier.
Translated from the German Of J. G. Sold, by

The most precious tears are those with which,
Heaven bedews the unburied head OF . soldier.
tssssx --0firsr Goids.ifA.
Upon distant war-worn field,
In death a soldier sleeps,
Unnumbered, overlooked-no page
His noble record keeps.
And Generals. with cross and wreath,
Ride by him up and down,
Nor think that he who bravely fell
Is worthy Of crown.
For many hero fails the tear,
Or an anxious quest 10 heard
But for that fallen soldier
Is neither tear nor word.
There sits at fall of evening,
In his home far DER the plain,
A father full of anxious dread,
And says, al fear he's slainr'
There sits weeping mother,
And sobs aloud, Help, Heaven
To us he has announced himself,
The clock stopped 1t elevenp'
maiden pale, with steadfast gaze,
Looks through the twilight dim,
"And 10 he far away, and dead 7
My heart meier turns from him."
Three souls, with deepest anguish filed,
Their tears to Heaven commend,
For him who far away lies slain,
The soldier and the friend.
And Heaven those heartfelt tears doth take
Upon cloudlet's breast,
And bear them to q distant field,
Where the soldier lies at rest
And pour them from the cloud as dew,
Upon the hero slain;
That he no more unwept may lie
Upon the distant plain.

and Phelps of Maryland, who voted
with the Democrats against it. There
was, however, sharp exhibition of par
lamentary tactics that should not be lost
sight Of When the House was to be
brought to vote, a large number OF
Republicans were OPP osed to ordering
the main question, and voted with the
Democrats against it, They did so on
The ground that if the main question was
determined on, there would be no op-
portunity to strike out the third section
which DISTINGUISHES all rebels until 1870.
The retention OF this section was looked
upon by many as being fatal to the rati.
fcalion by any Southern State of the
amendment. When roll>call was com
pleted, it was manifest that the oppo,
nents of the third section had carried the
motion, and that tho main question had
not been ordered
The Democrats instantly saw tire op..
portunity to change the result and force
tho Republicans to vote tor or against
the amendment, as whole, with the
third section retained. Thereupon

sr Democrats changed their votes to the

men who voted for those bills vetoed,
have perjured themselves. Now they
are sworn to support the Constitution,
as well as he is, and think when any
one man undertakes to rule this Gov-

and a tyrant, also Judas to the party
that gave him power. He has said time

TENNESSEE.
The Legislature of Tennessee having
passed an act more completely distran'
chising Rebels, a meeting of Union
members was held on the evening of
the Sd inst. to exchange congratula-
tons thcreupon; at which Gov. Brown
low spoke as follows:
"But short tine since, was visited
by Tennessee officer in an Arkansas
Re ell regiment, who told me that the
Rebels lad no right 20 complain Of the
franchise blll that he submitted cheer
fully, and it was within his personal
knowledge that, if the Contederates
achieved their independence, it was their
purpose to disfranchise every Union
man in the South 1t is idle to talk about
the act disfranchlsing Rebels being a
radical measure, lnaugurated by Sums
ner and Stevens at Washington. 1t Is
the ,ime>honored doctrine and practicl Of
the fathers of the Revolution, who, at
the close of that eventful struggle, dis
franshised the Tories of that day, who
answer to the Rebels of our day. Loud
cheering My recollection of the
history Of those times is, that both signed
bills disfranchislng Tories. The same
was done, if mistake not, by the Legis
latures Of Virginia and North Carolina,
and even South Carolina.
"Upon this platform, however, for the
first time since the Rebellion was begun,

chisng Rebels. Among his las. utter>
ances before he left here, some thirteen
months ago, he declared that, if there
were but 5 1000 loyal men in Tennessee,
they should control the State; and all
the time that this measure has been
pending, he has been represented, by
those who have had frequent interviews
with him, as wanting the Legislature to
hurry up the franchise law. We are,
therefore, upon his platform, and hope
to present not only 5000, but ten times
5000, loyal Union men to govern the
State
'.Let us then, one and all, keep our
stand upon the Presidents platform Of
governing the States with loyal men,
making treason odious, and Furnishing
traitors, Upon this platform took my
stand long since, and here will stand,
and upon this intend to fight it out,
not only all Summer, but If 1t takes the
remainder of my natural life. In this l
am encouraged, knowing that all good
and true men at home stand by me, and
all good and true men abroad, including
the most talented, patriotic, and loyal
