Mrs. Macfarland, President Of the Richmond

the South for aid in prosecuting the purposes
Of the Association To preserve the resting
places of the dead who we're killed or died in
the hospitals should be an object dear to the
hearts of all Southern people. The cause in
which they persisted has indeed failed land their
survivors have accepted the result as settle
mcnt, and given in their adhesion to the Gov
ernment in all truth and earnestness; but that
neither changes the merit Of self-sacrl6ce OF
the dead, nor does it modify the sentiment OF
admiration for their deeds.
A few days since most bloody assault was
made upon Mr.. Richard Lee and his son Eddy,

the negro turned on him and cut him in seVc-

Gov. Cox has been advised that the remains
of the seven Ohio soldiers who were hanged
at Atlanta for participating in the celebrated
railroad expedition sent out by Gen. Mitchell
in 1862 have been removed to Chattanooga,
and their graves appropriately marked. The
transfer was made by the direction of Gen.
Stoneman, in compliance with the request Of
the Ohio Legislature. The State pays the
necessary expenses. The names of the SOL
diers are Wm Campbell George d. Wilson,
Marion H. Rose, Benjamin j. Shudruck,
Samuel Savens, s. Robinson, and John Scott.
These gallant Union Soldiers were captured
and hung for fighting to uphold the flag of
their country. The rebels say they suffered
justly for their crime, and rebels and copper
heads alike unite in bitter denunciaton Of the
proposition to try and hang in accordance
with the constitution and the laws traitor
who waged war to dissolve the Union and
overthrow the government of the country.
Those seven men were simply loyal mud
sils Of the United States army, but JEFF. Da-
Wis is an aristocratic saveholding traitor and
chief Of the rebel wing of the Democratic
party, that's the difference.

FIT LEADERS or THE RECON.
STRUCTED.

GEN. WISE and Senator SALISBURY, prom
inent leaders of the reconstructed Democratic
party, appeared together on the platform be-
fore rebel audience in Alexandria, and full
minated the principles Of the re-galvanized
old party. WISE triumphantly and de6antly
addressed "my fellow traitors" and warned
the people to get rid of their worthless green
v,backs by way Of setting their house in order
for the approaching new dispensation, and the
restoration of the old Regime.
SALISBURY holds that if President JOHNSON
will carry out the principles and the purposes
of the Democratic party, he will in that far
receive its support, but gives him fair warning
that in order to secure that he must get rid Of
his present Cabinet, for he says:
Sir, let me tell you that it would take
more faith than it requires to remove noun
tains to cause me to believe that the pressnt
Secretary Of State of the United States. who
so long has fought the Democratic party, and
who, bythe-by, l consider the cause of
great deal of the evil that has been brought
upon this country, is going to forsake your
standard and rally to the Democratic stan
dard. He is going to do no such thing. But
suppose he should, what then2 Some few
men might follow; but | march under no
captains manufactured out of "divine Stan
toms and bell-ringing Stewards, and other
men that might name"
Now we take it that President JOHNSON is
not going to march to perdition with WISE
and SALISBURY, Notwithstanding their gra-
cious permission, on condition that he will
shake off the SEwARDs, the STANToss, and
men of like principles, who have had somuch
to do in crushing the rebellion. They will
accept no leaders from the loyal party, but do
not object to followers, to privates in the
ranks, who will follow the lead of traitors in
silence, or whine at their feet for the crumbs
that drop from the tables of the WIsE's, the
SAULsBuRY's, the LEES and the VALLANDIG-
HAMS, and others of like persuasion. Does
the prospect held out present irresistible
temptations to loyal Union men to strike
hands with Copperheads and rebels, and join
their party to restore the Democracy to power
again. Can loyal men endorse WIsE's plat
form and, SAuLsBURY's policy, march under
their banner, and keep step to the music of
the enduring WISE brigade" as rendered
in the recent proceedings at Richmond. Re-
member that the Union men in this recon
structed Democratic party Of rebels and
Copperheads, will scarcely constitute corpo-
rails guard at the best, and will have no
influence to mould the sentiments, fashion the
platform or control the action of the party.
Its principles and its policy will be dictated
by JEFF. DAVIS and SALISBURY, CORNER
Stone STEPHENS and EALLAsDIGHAx, GAR
RETr DAvIsand CLAY DEAN. Can Union men
swallow their platform, and lie underthe cover
of their treason polluted and blood stained
blanket?

WHAT HAS BECOME OF ALL THE GOLD
WArcHEs?-Untilt Uncle Sam commenced
taxing all Injuries and superauous articles,
every gentleman and lady off the country could
support gold ticker, but strange as it may
appear, it is nevertheless true according to
the books Of the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue) there were only 1896 gold watches
returned for the United States. The New
York Jo,unal Of Commerce thus comments
on the subject:
Rhode Island, the home of the wealthy
Senator Sprague, has not one Of the yellow
treasures, even Of the most inferior descrip-
ton. Connecticut has not one, and her late
patriotic Governor, it is fair to infer, sports
only silver bulr s-eye of the antique pattern.
And Wisconsin Iowa? Minnesota? Kansas2
and the other blanks? Alas! we have no
answer. Vermont has two, but they are worth
less than 500. Only two gold watches of
any description in all Vermont? In Michigan
there is one. Who is the fortunate man ?
Will not some Historical Society in that be-
reft commonwealth give us the name of this
fortunate gentleman who still retains his vel.
low time.piece Strange to say, Missouri
heads the list and has been the least "spot-
ted by the threatening tax-collector.

TIE gold market has broke loose and gone
up, in spite of the ten or twelve millions
thrown on the market by the Secretary of the
Treasury. That distinguished functionary
has evidently " lost his grip," and the "bulls"
and the " bears are running the machine in
their own way.
The financial troubles in England, and the
war panic on the Continent of Europe, have
doubtless caused the present spasm in New
York. And we fear that the "irrepressible
conflict" both in Europe and this country,
will perpetuate the fluctuations and disturb
public confidence for some time to come.
