The Conquered Banner.

rurl that banner! for It's weary,
Round its staff IT'S dropping dreary;
Furl It, fold 1t, 1t Is best;
For there's not man to wave II.
And there's not q sword to save II,
And there's not one left to lave 1t
In the blood which heroes gave IT.;
And its foes now scOrn and brave 1t;
Furl 1t, hide 1t, let 1t rest. s1-.r
Take the banner down. It's tattered,
:. Broken Is Its shatt aud shattered, ~
And the valiant hosts are scattercSs
Over whom 1t tioated high.
oh! tits hard for us to fold Ii.
Hard to think there's none to hold 1t.
Hard that those who once unrolled 1t,
Now must furl 1t with sigh. a.,
Furl that banner, furl 1t sadly,
Once ten thousand hailed 1t gladly,
And ten thousand wildly. matlly,
Swore it would forever wave.
SwOre that fOeman's sword should never
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,
Till that flag would float forever
Ger their freedom or their grave.
Furl it, for the hands that grasped 1t
And the hearts that fondly clasped 1t
j Cold and dead are lying low;
And that banner 1t is trailing,
While around it sounds are wailing.
OF its people In their woe; -
For. though conquered. they adore 1t,
For the cold dead hands that bore 1t,
Weep for those who fell before It,
Pardon them who trailed and tore 1t, :
And. oh! how wildly they deplOre 1t.
Now to filrl and fold 1t so.
Furl that banner; true It's CORY, &
Yet tits wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story.
Is Though Its folds are In the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages, .a
Penned by poets and by sages, .,.4a
Shall go sounding down through ages,
l Furl its folds though now We must.
Furl that banner, sadly, slowly;
Treat it gently, 1t Is holy
For 1t droOps above the dead. 2
Touch it not-unfold 1t never,
Let it droop there, furled forever,
For It's peoples hopes are dead.

ton, May 81, 1861 Circular, No, Ain

change of organization in this Bureau, this
circular is issued. 4 g4l.rh az
l. The Commissioner recommended, some
time since, that the functions of Military
Commander of a State and Assistant Com
missioner be exercised by the same officer.
Wherever practicable, this is being effected
as in Virginia and Mississippi. 1t is not
done in condemnation of the. Assistant Com
missioners who have labored hard and sue
cessfully, but to secure more prompt and
effective administration than can otherwise
be done. .i,BeftiM 90GU ILO98S
II. The Commissioner calls the attention of
all officers. officially to the reports in circu-,
lation as to acts of severity and cruelty to-
ward the freedmen on their own part, as to
carelessness in rendering their monthly &C
counts, and other offences. Every officer, or
agent, already accused, shall have the oppor-,

court martial But the occasions for such
trials are to be deprecated and they must
be forestallcd by thorough system Of in7
spection, and prompt removal of every I'M
faithful officer ~ ~ c.lat 3lAt
III. Special attention is again called to the
difficult duty of caring for the INDECENT. =
Where intense anxiety prevails to get rid of
the Bureau, surely State and county officers
will make some arrangement to relieve the
General Government of this heavy expense.
If the county officers or oyerseers of the poor,
will adopt the proper measures, the industrial
and Government farms which are now so
much complained of, can be dispensed with.
In order to meet an emergency, when the
whole system Of labor was deranged, the Com
missioner urged the forming of joint cornpa-
MES, the encouragement of the Immigration of
those accustomed to free labor, so as to afford.
promptly, as many examples as possible, of
the successful employment of negroes under a
free system. Apparently in keeping with
these regulations, a few officers haveinvested
their own means, jointly with citizens, in the
planting interest. know of no law, or regu-
iation Of the army, or of this Bureau, against
this, Yet it will almost inevitably lead to COR
ruption, as it has already to bitter accusations.
Hereafter, such investments within their own
Jurisdiction, by officers on duty in this Bureau,
are strictly prohibited. ID !.

Gold is going out and fve-twenties coming
back. About ten millions in gold is the
amount of shipments from New York and
Boston in the last two weeks, Gold has adj
vanced to 1870 and fraction, and there holds
steady, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Treasury has within the same time put nine
or ten millions on the market Cotton has
also declined in Liverpool on account Of the
large receipts Of the same from the United
States, India, and Egypt. Flour and wheat
are lower abroad than in New York, and
therefore large importations in these articles
are made into New York. Cargoes Of best
Michigan wheat are coming back and also
French -four is added to- our list of imports.
Much interest is felt in thesubject Of the grow
ing crops in this country The wheat harvest
will be later than usual. 1t is not believed
that the crop will exceed the average; and it
is probable that there will be but small sur
plus, if any, for expectation. The Southern
wheat will come first into the market, and at
good prices. But the South will not be able
to do more this year than supply itself with
breadstuffs. Formerly, in . period Of short
crops, the slave labor of the South helped us
out. But this resource is now cut off, and the
freedmen are not expected to do more than to
provide bread for themselves. The corn crop,
it is hoped, will be increased even over the
large product of last YEAR National I'stetts-

Especial Correspondence of the Day Book.
SUFFOLK, Nav %, 1866.

PROPRIETOR DAY Book: You must allow
an old friend to congratulate you upon the
very happy associationswhch you have formed
with the accomplished gentlemen whose names
appeared yesterday afternoon at the head of
your editorial columns. The DAY Book will
be largely sought after in this town, where
the gentlemen referred to are SO we'll known
and so highly esteemed.
Dull times fall from the lips of almost every
one you meet about our little town. 1t is, in
truth, a dull business season, but we are so
prone to complain, and have, as a people,
so long cultivated the habit, that we indulge
in our favorite occupation to excess, not I'M
frequently.
Noticing in your local columns, that seve-
raj prisoners recently escaped from the Jail in
Portsmouth, reminds me of three men who
escaped from Jail here week ago. One of
them had a cork leg, and in the leg was a
hollow, which contained saw, a knife, and
other instruments, together with a pistol.
With these instruments he was prepared for
any emergency. These men, charged with
larceny, all hailed from a Northern cline.
After they had escaped, another man, con-
fined with them, crawled out of the hole, and
went and walked up the jailor, informing him
what had transpired, and then returned to
his place in prison. 81 ~
We were served last week to fine dish of
Bacon and Green's in genuine BAGBY style,
and enjoyed the feast much. By the by, all
the people of Virginia ought to hear Dr.
BAGBY's lecture 1t is not all humor, as many
suppose, but has many touching passages in
it, 8gE az &Gg& f
The farmers in the surrounding country
are busily engaged with their crops Many
of the freedmen are temporarily employed,
scarcely any having engaged for the year.
