OVER THE RIVER.
BY MISS PRIEST.

Over the river they beckon to me
Loved ones who've crossed to the farther side;
The gleam OF their snowy robes see,
But their voices are drowned in the rushing
tide.
There's one with ringlets of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection ofheaven's own blue;
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view,
Wesaw not the angels who met him there;
The gates of the city we could not see:
over the river, over the river,
My brother stands waiting to welcome me!
Over the river the boatman pale,
Carried anotheT-the household pet;
Her brown cuTls waved in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie see her yet,
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlesSly entered the phantom bark;
We watched 1t glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew fearfully dark.
We know she is safe on the farther side,
Where all the ranSOmed and angels be;
Over the river, the mystic river,
My childhOod's idol is waiting for me.
For none return, from those quiet shores
Who cross the stream with the boatInan pale;
We hear the dip OF the golden oars,
And catch gleam of the snowy SAIL
And 10 they have passed from our yearnlng
They cross the stream. and are gone for aye;
We may not suEder the veil apart,
That hides from our vision the gates OF day.
We only know that their barks no more
May sail with us DER lies stormy sea;
Yet somewhere, Iknow on the unseen shore.
They watch and becken and wait Tor me.
And sit and think, when thesunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
/ shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound OF u bOltmans oar,
l shall watch for gleam OF he nnPPing SAL;
shall pass from sight with the boatmnn pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land;
shall know the loved who have gone before
And JoyfuIly sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
Thea ngel of Death shall carry me.

The other day we alluded to the grow
ing coolness on the part of the Demo-
Gratis towards the President. Although
the dog-days are near at hand, the thing
not only continues, but absolutely
grows, and promises to become quite
frigid. The National ITteLLigeRceT,
which is the organ of the club at Wash
ington in support of the President in
the interest OF the Democrats, is begin
ming to show uneasiness, as though IL
felt that all was not right. On the con-
trary, we understand that the national
Union Club at the Capitol has put aside
its fighting armor as though it had won
a vietory-at any rate, as though its
objects had been achieved. The Demo-
cratic press throughout the country is
making WY faces, ,suspecting that some
body has been on a wild goose chase.
Search having been made, not a single
Democrat can be found who has re-
ceived an office from the President, or
who entertains the slightest expecta-
ton of receiving one-and they who
thought it best to stand out from the
Union party to get faYors, have not
Jared much better. The truth is, the
sentiment and the will which carried
the country successfully through the
war, is as strong now as it ever was.
The Democrats are no more to be trust
ed now than when they were in active
sympathy with the rebellious hostsln
arms. Their attempts to hitch them
selves on to the President has 1alIed-
Their Establishments have not been re-
turned. Though for while they
Thought they had some reason for
hoping the President would turn a
friendly eve towards them, recent CIR
cumstances have shown it was a false
hone. Nothing seems TO be left for
them 10 do but to nurse the coolness
between themselves and the President,
-an operation very ike the attempt to
derive warmth from noon-beams, with
tho thermometer at zero.

anu Trees Destroyed.
[FT0nl the AdcI (Iolca) Gazette June ISL
This part of the country has been
perfectly deluged with rain for the past
week. On last Sunday night it rained
nearly all night, and the wind blew, in
places, a perfect hurricane. A regular
whirlwind was instituted, similar to
the great tornado of 1860, only on a
smaller scale. Where it began, or
where it ended, we know not. The first
we hear of it is at the house of Ely Bar
nett, in the northwestern part of Mad
ison county. This house was literally
torn to pieces, and, together with the
The family were absent from home, or
probably the result would have been
still worse. The dwelling house of Mr..
Bond was removed and left fright side
up with care" in the middle of the road,
some six or eight rods distant. None
to the premises of S. McKibben, in the
south part of Dallas county, tore to
pieces his stable, and threw it against,
into, through, and around the house,
doing considerable damage, but in
jured none. Richard les log house
was afterward unroofed and the three
top logs carried away. Mr.. Iles' fam
ily remained at home until morning.
Fences were laid low, and even the
rocks upon which the fences were built
were rolled from their bed in some in
stances, and removed several feet. Mr..
McKibben's son came in on Wednesday
and furnished the above statement.
Through this county, as in Madison,
it passed from southwest to northeast.
The next we hear from it was this side
of North Coon, where it unroofed Il
barn for Mr.. Foley, and moved a
dwelling-house, occupied by Mr.. Price,
about six inces. 1t then crossed North
Coon, twisting off large trees as easily
as it would withes of straw, and struck
new barn just erected by Mr.. VIII
liam Dillon, tore it to pieces and scat
tered it about the prairie. The next
point in its path was Mr.. Il. d. Smith IS
house, occupied by 1. j. Cole, which it
struck, tearing away the wing and un-
roofing the main building. Mr.. Cole
and family We're compelled to plod their
way, through the rain and darkness, to
their nearest neighbors-abouta quar-
ter of mile distant-to seek shelter.
Travelling on, it next came to the prem
ises ofNIr. Crouch, where it tore down
another barn. Along the entire route
fences were leveled, and everything
movable "scattered tothe four winds"
Some of the rafters from Mr.. Smiths
house were taken considerable dis
tance aDd driven endwise two or three
feet into the solid earth. So faras heard
from, no one was injured in the least.

Lovers I'm Fix..The Dangers of Pitch
E,roD, The Nenphis .ArO,Ls. lOth.

TgOW cue 4I4tTIpttS <iISpSI AVt'"
Night before last, as the moon rose
over the hill and the tree tops, gliding
the spires of our beautiful city with her
silvery rays, there might have been
seen upon the roof of I'M Egyptian cot
taCe, which is fiat, and covered with
pure white gravel and pitch, a couple
of lovers seated, enjoying the beauty
of the scene, and
'Though few the hours, the happy moments
So warm with heart, SO rich with love they
flew. Hai .l1. ..
That their full souls forgot the will to roam
And rested there, as in dream at home"
The sun during the day had been
very warm, and thus they met to spend
the feeting hours of twilight, enjoying
| the pleasant breeze that hoated up from
the magnolia garden beneath, and in
terchanging their soul longings and
warm affections Near each other the
lovers sat: with one arm he encircled
the waist of the beautiful creature mt
his side,
''Her little hand lay gently, confldingly in
- his,
and all passed quietly and lovingly
until the bell tolled the midnight hour.
"None but the loving and beloved,
Should be awake at this sweet hour.
The tolling of the bell reminded them
that ---.----.--. .--.-----.....
| bWGGb IGSlOLGII Dullhg SiSSPf
was requisite for lovers as well as 9th
ers. Still seated near each other, the
| plighted VOWS were again and again
exchanged, and sealed with kisses,
like
'Linked sweetness long drawn out"
At length, after many vain attempts
to sever these pleasant pleasures, the
| transported EOUyerS found that they
were bound to each other by more
| all than 1nunrSf Tho
hot sun had melted the pitch, and after
sitting so long, and the night air having
cooled the resinous matter, they found
they were both "stuck fast" The
Young gentleman first attempted to
disengage himself, but found, like aunt
Jemima's plaster, "the more yon try 70
pull it off, the tighter it sticks the fast
er." The young lady then attempted to
| get up, which she did, minus the skirt
| of her dress, and all her under clothes,
as far as the "tilters." In this plight
she attempted to relieve her disconsolate
partner, but it was of no use-hG
eouldn't come. After some parley, he
came to the conclusion he could man
agei it by slipping out of his pants. Ac-
cordingly he asked of his companion i
| she could lend him pair of pants until
he could go home. She thought her pas
would do if they were not too long
With this information he slipped OF
his boots, ana IooSenlnS MS SSuSpeuueLs
drew himself out of his pants as easily
as possible, and the disconsolate couple
took themselves down stairs in "a very
blushing manner, and looking very
much like our first parents when they
discovered that they were human. The
lady procured, as quietly as possible, q
pair of her fathers pants, which were
run into pretty quick, and the Adonis
Ildecamped with his pants rolled uE
about six inches. The joke was toe
good to be kept; by little and little ii
leaked out, until the truth had to come
to eSculpate the happy innocents.

The ARMY or Nest YIrgInia.

Col. D. II. SrRoTHER in closing his
report of the Lynchburg Expedition
and the Shenandoah Valley campaign
of 1864, addressed to General Hunter
pays the following well-deserved com
pliment to the army of West Virginia
i have thus given brief sketch Of
military movements and events partic-
ipated in by the Army of West Virgin
ia while under your command, from
the 2lst of May, 1864, to the 9th of Au-
gust.
have always considered the move
ment on Lynchburg as one or the bold
est and best conducted campaigns of the
war. That the motives which actuated
it fully justified the hazard incurred,
and that the results obtained by very
inadequate forces have been fully ac-
knowledged by those who best under
stood their real value. Lieut.. General
Grant handsomely acknowledges that
''alI had been accomplished that was
possible under the circumstances, and
more than could have been hoped for. "
jefferson Davis, in his speech to the
people of Georgia, after the fall of At
lanta, informs them that ''GH GWddciouS
movement Of the enemy Up to the UeTy
tVaLLs of LynchGurg had rendered ii
necessary that the government should
send formidable body Of troops to cOUer
that UitGL point, IChich had otherwise been
intended for The relief of Attdntd."
The vital importance of Iynchburg
as reserve depot, and proposed place
of retreat in case of the abandonment
!, of Richmond was fully appreciated by
the rebel authorities. By the United
States it was either not fully under
stood, or the approach deemed too haz-
ardous, When the enemy saw, there
fore, their fatal weakness was discov-
cred and the approaches already recon-
noitered, he was obliged to dispatch n
force to protect it at all hazards. Near
ly one-third of the flower of Lees army,
under Early, was detached 1or this pur-
pose.
Thus the great result was accomplish
ed-Atlanta, unrelieVed, fell before the
conquering arms of Sherman. Lees
army, thus enfeebled, remained i'm
prisoned in Richmond, and was never
afterward able to hazard an active dem
onstration.j Early's presence in the
Valley of the Shenandoah convinced
| the Government OF the United States o.
the only effectual policy to be pursued
in that quarter. He was confronted by
superior army, attacked and annihi'
lated. ----.
The subsequent movement of Gen
erals Grant and Sherman brought the
war TO n full and fortunate conclusion
While rejoicing in the honors accorded
| to those great soldiers whose fortune
it has been to gather in the glorious
harvest, L still feel it my duty tc
claim a modest wreath for the gallant
Army of West Virginia, which, through
so much toll, danger and suffering
assisted in preparing the field for the

The True Basis of Representation.
Governor Morton, in his discussion
of reconstruction" thus answers the
objections to the second section of the
Constitutional Amendment, establish
ing white basis in the Southern, as
we'll as the Northern States: ?
The second section equalizes repre-
sentation in Congress and in the cleo
toral college, by taking from the white
DeOple of the States lately in rebellion
the right to represent in Congress more
than four millions of negroes living in
their midst, whom they deprive of all
DOIitical rights whatever. DIS the mat
te1. now stands the aDhite people Of the
Southern States haze si!sty per cent. more
of DoLiLicnL JjOIDer ill the House of Repre-
sejitdtiVeS aud an eLectin1 The President
and Vice President than an equal mum
berO Of 1Dhite people IN the Northel7l States.
This is a gross and pnrighteous enc
quality, and an absolute, injustice to
the Northern people. Even If the
Southern people were all loyal they
could not have the slightest claims to
any such advantage. But when we con-
slider that nearly all of them are Demo-
cratic rebels, and but few months ago
waged a bloody war against the Gov
eminent, the idea of their retaining
tare is too monstrous to be calmly con-
sidered.
South, the proposed amendment would
be a measure of simple but imperative
Justice; but when we consider the
character of the Southern people and
of their Northern allies, and the terri
bic calamities they have brought upon
the country, the claims of Justice are
intensified, and longer submission to
the inequality on our part becomes a
humiliation. The Democratic leaders
in Indiana have declared themselves
against the amendment, and their
members of Congress opposed it by their
votes. The personal degradation which
thew suffer-. 1Uhich each Of them suffers,
in being practically treated as sixty per
cent less of a man than his fellow
Democrat of Georgia they care nothing
about. They will swallow with avldl-
ty this or any other indignity that may
be thrust upon them, provided It comes
from men who have been Shareholders
anfi, rebels in arms, and who give rea-
psonable assurance that they VIII vote
the Copperhead, ticket. A greater po-
.Iitical degradation toward the people OF
one sectionTof the country than that
yshiehi now exists in the inequality OF
| representation cannot be Imagined,
| and the cheerful submission to IL by
Northern Democrats for the low ana
selfish purpose of reaping little po-
| litical gain, presents spectacle WhIch
it is not pleasant to contemplate. me ne
ratification of this amendment is one
of the most important issues submit
| ted to the people of Indiana at the next
election. The justice of 1t, and the
necessity for it, lie upon the surface
| and are too plain for argument.

THE "Boo-Hoo PARTY.-There are
two parties in every community-nay,
in every family. There are the "boo-
hoos," or "cry-babies," always snivel-
ing, snarling, whining, grunting,
groaning, muttering, scolding, and
"going on like all possessed" They
are "out of Office" and want to he in.
They see nothing but certain destruc-
ton ahead, when Others are at the helm.

sive. The COnstitutionsis violated-by
bad whiskey and tobacco. Religion is
only cloak to cover up hypocritical
wickedness. Reformers are only seek
