AN ACRosTIC.

Acrostics do not often possess much
literary merit, but the following is a
marked exception. The intensity of
feeling which breathes through it will
commend it to all who sympathize with
the wounded spirit of the South:
Justic, human justice! Is it dead! o,
God, to thee
Ever ascends our earnest prayer, tose
our martyr free! @
For him we plead, for him alone, our
chieftain and our head;
For him our brave, true-hearted one,
whose every hope has fled.
Endurance, with her iron grasp, would
crush that spirit low;
Resistance is a dream to him, poor
prisonerof woe
Shut out from life and human hope
shall mercy plead in vain
On him, must all the burden fall! OF
him, the weight of pain
Needless the cry for human aid TO-
| God alone is just
Dread vengeance in the human hear
treads Mercy in the dust.
Afar, a weary watcher weeps in bitter
/ ness alone
Vain vain, alas! woman's tears t.
| soften hearts of stone.
| In Thee alone, o God we trust; fo
i him we plead to Thee

INc1T1NG A NEGRO ISsURREcTIoN.-
No person who has observed the bear
ing Of the Radicals, can doubt that they
are determined either to compel the
South to adopt negro suffrage, or else
-incite the negroes to rise in insurrec-
ton. John F. Dillon, one of the Su-
preme Judges of Iowa, expressed the
principles of the whole Radical party
very forcibly in the following language
used by him ia speech lately made at
Davenport ::
"The Southern States ought not to
be allowed representation in Congress
until the right Of suffrage be given tc
the negroes in those States, and it !;
the duty of Congress to insist upon TIM
condition precedent to their admission
| and as a guarantee of their future loyal
lty. If the negroes fail to obtain thl
privilege by law, they would be justitie'
in obtaining it at the point OF tn
bayonet."

SOLDIERS SPEAKING OUT.-A large
and enthusiastic soldiers meeting was
held at Oakland, Maryland, on the
Sd instant, and passed the following
resolutions
1st. Resolved, That by no word or
act has Andrew johnson forfeited his
claim upon the confidence Of the Union
loving people Of the land. His firmness
in opposing the heresy of secession,
will, we hope, be equaled BY his firm
| ness in opposing the Insane measures
advocated by such sectionalists as Sum
ner and Stevens, which can have no
other tendency, than to aleniate the
people of the country, and revive those
sectional animosties which brought or
the war.
I'd. Resolved, That his opposition t.
negro Suffrage meets with our entir'
appreciation, end we pledge ourselve
10 support no man for any position
either high or low, who has favored
does favor, or whom be believe will eve
favor, negro suffrage, in the District {
Columbia, or any other portion Of tn

Sd. Resolved, That We respect an
honor President Johnson, for the graf
tude he has SO often expressed for th
services rendered by the achite soldier
: Believing as we do, land as certai
e Senators do not) that all the, honor, 9

position upon white labor, levied
by a Congress of traitors upon the
labor of white men to support a corrup
negro war against the sovereign rights
of States and true people thereof"
[ now inclose the same amoun

the same Congress of traitors. The bill
you can have when you desire to be
come more familiar with the prope

amount inclosed, it is matter OF n
Importance to me.
