After L Die.

What care then, if tho bright summer sun
With it's enthroning sky Of cloudless blue,
And sweet-voiced fountains softly falling
spray,
Rejecting on its beauty many hue.
Shine not for me.
Full well 1know the earth will be as green
In the sweet summer, and the flowers as
fair,
The sky as cloudless, and the siivery
sheen
OF falling waters vet as rich and rare.
sS Though not for mo.
rshall exult in freedom like bird
Long Gagged, and eager for an upward
fight;
With no regret my soul will then be stirred,
Though the dark splendor OF the jew
elled night,
His starry Jewels bean,ing golden light,
Beam not for ME.
The solemn anthems Of the sounding sea,
The moon lit beauty of its blooming isles,
Where all the year the South wind breezes
: blow,
And beauseous nature in its verdue
smiles;
These things may speak to other hearts
than mine,
Yet dwelling on the troubled sea oftime,
If not for me.

friend,
The cordial hand clasp and the smiling
brow;
The gentle glance that love-thoughts ever
lend,
And tender words, 30 soothing, soft and
These may spring up, as violets by the
way,
To gladden. other hearts in their brief
day,
If not for me.
But, oh, the unrecorded, untold bliss
That may be mine in yonder brighter
sphere,
The glad reunion and the welcome kiss,
ThatI dare hope will end my journey
here,
Will be more precious and more perfect
Joy
Than earthly friendships, with their rude
alloy,
Can give to me.
Though earth may pass away and be no
more,
Her landscapes fade before my closing
eye,
And those to come forget that long before
Their present time had laid me down
to die,
The brighter beauties Of immortal day
May sweep each lingering thought of
grief away
And this for me.

How proud We was of him that night,
when he and Colonel Sims made
friends on the stand, and the Colonel
pind a seceshion cockade upon Jeems'
coat collar. He then got inspired,
an" spoke for two hours in words that
bl -athed of bitches and death, and
was full of the spirit of '76. His
watch-word were "Benning and Sc
ceshioa," and he voted for EN- both.
Oh, he's whale in gettin up war.
Alas! he were six semper, then, but he
are six transit now. So mote it be, Mr..
Tammany; I couldent help it. How
sumever, it don't matter much /
reckon, for we've got another John
sin, and they are Il high roostin

Now you understand the trouble,
Mr.. Tammany, about this elektion.
We was huntin for two full .blooded
Union men who could find their way
to Washington and back without o
way bill, and we couldent find EN-.
They amt in the State, tell you. So
we fell back upon the old land marks,
we are ridin the old wagin hosses,

he does, ace don't care q darn. Yours

Mr.. Hall, I know I am; for a feller
tried to sell me little niger to-day,
and I acouldent baty him. I heard of
bill that's coming up to bind out the
niggers for ninety-nine years, and
I'm agin it. Darnd if I'll vote for
more than fifty. You can tell Thad.

Bill Arp to MIR. Tammany Hall.
Mn1EDGEv1L1E, Feby, 1866.

Dear Idn,naday:
You are glorious old feller. You've
got heart-a great big heart-and
if you were here would exclaim in
the langdwage of my unkle Billy,
"put your hand in mine, honey, and
kiss me-" We are whipd at last, old
Tammany We rebs are conquered,
subjugated, not by bayonets or bull
lets, but by your friendly overtures,
your manly speeches. You and Sun
ny South Cox and Company have
captured us, taken us prisoners, and
we are now as dosile as we have been
hostile. Dident I tell you that we
would meet you on halfway grown !?
Dident we stretch forth our arms for
sympathy, and wasent we about to
turn away in defiance and despair for
the want of it
eve spred the mantle of oblivion
over the past. If you Of the South
have the spirit to accept, we of the
North have the heart to tender you
the ofises of kindness. We will help
you plant again the seed, whose per-
feet leaves, flowers and fruits shall be
yours with ours to enjoy"
Did Mr. Cox say that, old Tamma-
ny, and did you clap your hands and
say "ongkore " %
"We are to-day arrayed against the
contention concerning the black race,
and are looking forward to the white
race for the welfare and greatness of
our country" And dident you say
that, too, old Tammany? and dident
all hands jewbilee and exclaim "that's
it, them's 'em, that's the doktrine, the
niger may be big fish, but the
white man is whale And dident
you all take another drink on that,
Mr.. Tammany? Wish some of us
rebs had been there, old fel, jest to
have techd tumblers with you. Thank
the Lord that there are good men
North of Dixey. There's heap of
'em here, Mr. Hall, and their hearts
are jumpin and a bumpin and a
thumpin as big as yours. Their hearts
were castles, and their buzzums sta
dels, but you have taken 'em. Don't
be alarmed, don't reseed, don't take
back nuthin; be kahn and screen, and
we Of the rebellious South will wipe
out the last spark of hatred to such
as you. We are now wipin away the
curses that were upon our lips. We
are risin up from our humiliation, and
like strong men are shakin the dust
from our garments. Think of it, Tam
many, What glorious sight to see
brave peepul lifted up-a whole ma
ton of white folks rekonsiled. What
spirit, what gost, what inspiration
tolk you how to reach us +? How did
you know that we was weak where we
was strong, in the same secret corner
OF our buzzums :?
You've got us, Tammany, and we'll
respond to you, We'll reinforce you.
We've said some hard things, Mr..
Hall; we've tried to skorch, and bis
ter and excoriate, buty ou see we were
goaded, gored by bulls-Trumbull
and Republican bulls. They bellerd
and we paved dirt. They punched
us IN the cage, and we growled. They
put tax under our saddles, and we
kicked. What else could we do {?
Jest think of it, Tammany. Ruined
and desolate, the people in mournin
and their homes in ashes-no luxuries
no comforts, no Christmas worth a
Gus, no Santa Claws, no nuthin /?
Could we lick the hand that laid us
low mary time-no never. While
we was strugglin to rise from out the
wreck, to breath the air above us, t.

The Baron DeKalb.

Wheeler's History of North Caro-
lima gives quite different account OF the
death of the Baron DeKalb, from that
which has been generally accepted as the
true version, The narrator Was an oihcer
of high rank-a North Carolinan-who
was taken prisoner in the battle OF Cam
den-.the battle in which Dekalb teils
The common account Of the affair pub
lshed in all the histories, is that Dekalb
fell fighting at the head Of his troops,
that the enemy pressed upon him, and
were on the point Of dispatehing him
with their bayonets when one Of his aids
stood above him, and. stretching out his
arms, cried. "Saye the Baron Dekalb .
and the enemy then ceased to advance
on him, and that he was removed, aud

full uniform, ride down the remnant OF
his own line; that he met one Of the en-

that he, the narrator, heard a number OF
British soldiers say; That is rebel
general, shoot him." that they all hred

I" The Man in Gray"


The Washington papers publish card
from Fleming, the mysterious man In
gray) visitor of Senator Wade. in which
be talks pretty plain about that gentle
man, and denies that he attempted or
even thought Of assassination. We make
the following extract from Fleming S
card:
then got up to spit in the FIRE, and
being something of a tobacco-chewer, 1
took out a large piece Of tobacco and a
common sailors jack-knife 1t blunt
pointed, wide-bladed affair, about as tit
for stabbing purposes as atallow candle
and having cut off chew, returned it
to my pocket and took my seat again,
saying as / did SO: Judge, these men
in Charlestown have told you lie. As
be still seemed inclined to be sulky, and
profess to believe that / had talked about
him in Massachusetts, babe him good
night civilly, and opened and closed the
door after me and went away He did
not follow me or even rise from his seat ;
and as to the story he has told since
about kicking me out, ] have only to say,
had he drawn a pistol it would speedily
have found its way out of the window,
and had he attempted the kicking pro
cess, he would have followed his pistol in
the same direction.
