EVER or THEE.-A sad story is con.
ncctcd with the namo Of the Writcr Of tho
beautiful song "Evcr Of Thoo," which
has been sung and admired by SO many
IN this country and in Europe. Nlcy
Hull was gentleman by birth and cdu.
cation. Wealthy in his own right, with
large expectations, be led q needless
life, not choosing his associates, but al.
lowing himselfto be drawn into tho so.
cioty Of the vicious. His property soon
disappeared, and he vas left without re-
sources sufficient to buy his daily bread.
His musical talents had been highly cul.
tivnted, but as he never needed them, be
scarcely knew to what degree they could
be made available. In his distress, how.
ever, he wrote the charming song, "Evcr
of Thee" 4 London publisher gave
him one hundred dollars for it, but that
amount, with such spcudthrift, would
not last long. Ho wrote other songs,
but the money not coming as fast as no
wished, in o weak momont.ho forged tho
name of his publisher, and although
every effort was made (cven by the pub.
Iisher) to save him, it was all Of no usc,
and poor Foley Hall went to Ncwgatc,
md died broken hearted before his trial
came on.

The Spectre.

There is wrinkled old man
With thin and Silvcry hair,
A lean and withcrcd old man,
And his name, know, is Care.
lie its by my bed through tho night.
lIc walks by my side through the street
In the broad and open light,
Unseen Of the people meet.
His checks arc hollow with age;
Ills eyes arc Sunken and dim;
The high and the lowly Of earth
Alike arc acquainted with him.
Only tho child has not known,
Since its infant life brsan-
Like blossom newly blown
The face Of this wrinkled old man.
When Youths bright summer is past,
And the dreams that VIC dreamed arc lied
When doubts, Ike cloud, arise,
And the hopes We cherished ore dead;
When the castles that we reared
Have vanished ut last in air,
Where their portals once appeared
Sits this withcrcd old man called Care.
lie stands by the mother who kncels
At the bedside Of her child,
As Shu coolS the Gycrrd brow ..
And the lips that SO Swcrtly smiled;
And across her sad, pale face,
Epliftcd moment in prayer,
A likeness to him you mny trace
Imprinted indclibly there.
Unseen he raises the latch,
And crecpS past the crazy door.
Up the narrow flight Of stairs
TO the garrct Of the poor
And there by the drcary hearth
lie sits Mt the clo5c Of day,
Where is heard no sound Of mirth,
And where shines no cheering ray.
lie enters the mansions Of wealth,
The palaces stately and grand,
And all uninvited he takes
lis place at the masters right hand
lie hcehS not tho time rs it fits.
Ile counts not the moments that pass;
But silent and thoughtful lie sits,
And drinks from the masters own glass
Though ascd, lie never has known
Youths promise or manhood'S prime,
But this lean and withcrcl old man
Will live till the end Of time.
lie will enter, and speak not word,
The lofty and wide palace door,
And climb the weak staircase unhcard,
10 the drcary abode Of the poor.
There is but one house that know
Where this wrinklcd old man can not come
In the quiet and gloom Of the grave
He shall find neither rest nor homo.
In that narrow house under ground
All unhcedcd the years shall 80 by,
As folded in slumber profound,
Undisturbcd BY his presence we llo.

Insulting the Union Dead.

On tho 26th'of April last, tho Rebo'
women Of Augusta, Ga, went in process
sion to tho Cemetery to. decorate with
flowers tho graves Of the Rebel dead
The ceremony was made us imposing a
numbers and cmnisy could. mako it.
not less than three thousand persons
joining iu the rites. Sido BY side with
the Rebels lay the Union dead, bat no.
body had flower for any Of tho latter.
The loyal women Of Augusta, including
tho teachers oftho freedmen and many
Of the colored women, made an attemp,
to repair this omission. They arranged
for second procession, Of which. the
children in tho frssdmen's schools were
to form the principal portion. Southern
chivalry took the alarm at oneo. The
Mayor Of Augusta prohibited tho dom.
on,.rution, summoned largo force OF
police, and barred the gates Of the Gene.
terry. Tho procession Of women and
children were met at tho gates BY the
armed Rebel police, denied an entrance,
and spite Of cntreatios, wcre obliged to
90 home, unable to pay this simple aDd
touching tribute Of respect to the Union
dead. That ia Southern chivalry, mag.
nanimity and loyalty, oil rolled into
ono.
It is humiliating to be obliged to add
that the refusal of the Rebol Mayor to
allow Union graves 10 bo garlandod
with flowers was sustained BY two Union
oficcrs-by Gen. Brannan. commanding
the District, and by Con. Tillsou, who is
Commissioner ofthc Frccdmcn's Bureau
for Georgia. These two officials united
in attempting to restrain tho slight trib.
ute Of respect to their former comrades,
on the ground that it would create i'll
feeling between the whites and the
blacks! 1t would DO charitable to dis
believe them capable Of such un act, but
both tho Rebel and the loyal accounts
agree on this point, and Gen. Drannan
even regrctting that he had no troops At
hand to prevent the demonstration BY
force. While such officers command at
the South, what reason is therc 20 hope
that the bitterness and hatred shown By
the Rebels will bc softeued2 What
right have We to demand that the Reb.
els shall respect ang which Union
Generals combine to insult2' .

N'CULLoUGu'S SPEECH.

MCCULLOUGH S SPEECH.
On the snmc subject the Secretary Of
the Treasury spoke as follows:
I suppose, gentleman, that mono Of US
expected that at tho close Of the great
war, in which much bad blood had been
excited, and moro good blood had been
shed, VIC should have bright skies and
calm skies. We anticipated that at
the close Of tho war, great questions
would comc up for settlement, tho dis.
cussion Of which would DO likely to
ugitate this country, to shake it from
centre to circumference, but We knew
also TINT the people had not been want.
ing 10 any previous emergency, and VIC
had confidence that they would be pre-.
pared to cope with and to settle satisfac.
toriy any question that might be pre-.
Sented. That fuith is strong with us
now. We have faith in the people, an d
faith in that good Providence which,
having led this nation through the red
sea Of battle, is not likely 10 desert it
DOW that the dreadful passage has been
accom- plished. Tho Presidents policy
is straightforward, Ineligible, practical,
and if better policy can bo presented,
one moro in consonance with tho princi'
plies Of government, better calculated to
preserve tho supremacy Of the Federal
authority whilc it trenches not on tho
reserved and Legitimate rights Of tho
States, moro just, humane, better fitted
to bind the people Of this great country
in o common brotherhood, at the same
time that tplaccs a just condemnation on
treason and vindicufes the maesy Of the
law, If such o policy can be presented,
there is no man tn the United States ,cho
wiN more 'oiliingIy embrace it than andy
johnson. But until that better policy
be presented he must be false to him .
self, false to his record, and must, in
fact, cease to be Andrew johnson if he
does not adhere to his policy and sink
OF swim with it.

no place nor voice in that body before
which the measure is pending, I dis.

Having thus declared my views, as

Lot mo refer ono moment to the dif.

grcss. 1 want to deal frankly with you
when I say that do not believe these
differences arc irreconcilable. / do not
believe thore is any cause of separation
between the President and the majority

ut fault, time and discussion arc bring.
ing the President and Congress rapidly
together on the basis Of q common plat.
form Of action. Certain it is thoy are
not as wide apart MS at tho opening
Of Congress. Then prominent Senator's
and Representatives argued that the
insurgent States, by tho act Of rebellion,
had committed suicide and should DO
treated as conquered provinces or terri.
tories then it was argued by some dig.
tinguishcd Congressman that the public
safety impcrutivcly demanded that this
condition should be imposed upon them
all. But these propositions are not now
argued in Congress, and do not think
that in future We shall have them do.
bated. l sec in this fact q steady and
encouraging advance toward practical
adjustment; aud may VIC not reason
ably hope their concessions were made
to the end Of securing reconciliation,
satisfactory and full, that shall bc alike
consistent with the dignity and patriot
ism both Of tho Executive and Of Con-
gross ? Every consideration Of patriot
ism and Wisdom favors such result. The
work Of restoration culls for every con.
ccssion authorized by tho Constitution,
1 will not doubt that this concession will
DO made, and the results Of tho war by
which the nation was preserved will be
secured and pcrpctuatcd on the basis Of
peace md concord between tho people
Of all sections Of our country.

day passed of tolerab1y quietly. The
day was. cool, and the crowds usually
about the polls We're small. Carriages
were going all day-hauling voters to
aud from the polls. A good deal OF
liquor was in circulation, it being freely
dispensed at several of the voting
places. We understand that an order
was issued to close up the drinking
houses, but, perhaps for want of full
publication, theorder was not generally
observed, so far as our observation
went. A good deal OF hard work was
done by alihands, and as a consequence
a heavy vote was polled. El
Below will be found the vote:
