CONFEDERATE AND FEDERAL DEAD-From
interesting article in the National Iutelligen-
Ger ON National Cemeteries we learn that the
bodies OF 100000 Federal dead have been found
10 Virginia, about onehalf of which have been
reinterred up to this time. The article says:
''Thc name of every soldier is studiously
sought, their graves when buried are marked
with the wooden head board, and the utmost
care used to make known the names to their
friends, without regard to the cause in which
they poured out their lives. This is the spirit
which is to reconstruct the country and make
again united and prosperous people.
The Rebel list is made up with the same care
is the Union list, or Roll of Honor" The
names Of the prisoners of war taken at Fort
Donelson, and who died at Camp Douglas,
1926 in number, have recently been received,
and the clerks are placing them upon the re-
cords Lists of this kind are obtained in every
possible direction, embracing those dying in
cau:ps and those buried on the battlefield. as
we'll as those dying iG hospitals. Lists arc made
up from them for each individual State and for
warded to the State authorities for information
The COMMUNICATIONS which these lists call forth
from friends are treated in the same Kindness as
those from the North.
Sa~ Mr. John Fl. Leavitt, of Elmira, N Y,
gives notice to the editor of the Journal OF
Commerce, Newtern, that he has complete
record of :he names of the Confederate Prison

names, rank, &c, and that he will furnish all
information wanted Of them to any person. He

NOR e en- the Editor who takes a bribe
The difference only is, in this brief view,
The evil each ,Oithin his sphere may do. .s
The principles the same, tits understood,
From libel-suits to gallant Cilley's blood:
Pure blood by brides and base corruption
split,
Whilst bribing Bankers faunt in pride and
guilt!
In pride and guilt--xhilst 10 the widows
And bark the orphans wailings strike the
All who but God can estimate their pain 2
They cry to Heaven-nor will they cry in
vain
The man who takes a 6ri6e would strip the
dead,
Or rob the orphan of his crust of bread
So lost to justice, equity and right,
This man would steal the aged Widows mite !;
Is we'll prepared for every kind of fraud
Would sell his country, or betray his God;
Pillage the palace of the King of Kings,
Or strip the gliding from IN angels wings
On sad events, now passing, do reflect:
Freemen l-be firm, and sterE, and circum-
spect
Let none be trusted who for Office parts
To pamper vulgar, artificial wants.
Let every idle, vain, and vicious drone
Live, if he can-but TRUST NOT such an one.
| Remember what Times faithful record saith,
That Carthage fell-and fell by "PUNIc
FAITH ~
| The man who is unfaithful to trust,
| However small, is vitality unjust;
| And he who is unjust in little things
| Would be villain in the courts of kings.
Present a bribe-and down his virtue falls,
In courts, or camps, or legislative halls
The 6ri6ed dpostats blot his hateful name
From each and every scroll of honest fame.
Let no man trust him, none forbear to shed
Contempt and deep dishonor on his head.
| Let Scorn still point her finger and her jibes,
I And say-BehoLd the consequence of 6ribe:
| Let guileless children, as he passes by,
| Shrink from his touch, and shudder at his eye.
| Let lovely women loath him with disgust,
| And shtn him like the reptile in the dust.
And whilst he lives, let Infamy alone
| Claim the bfibed legislator as her o,On;
| Until he dies and sinks into the grave,
| To poison worms that feed upon the knave.
| There-midst the storms-let hideous Furies
foul
| Hold nightly revels and in concert howl;
Let kissing serpents make that spot their

| And be the watchful guardians of his tomb
And when he goes to hell, let devils stare,

And feel the insult, deep, severe, and keen,
To see iend pre-eminently mean,

| WHY LETTERS FAIL OF THEIR DESTI.
NATIoN.-The Albany Journal has an
interesting article on the subject of ennis
sing letters" which We subioin. It should
be promised that the editor speaks
from knowledge derived from his official
| position in the post Office of that city:
"Whenever letters are missed, the fault
is charged upon the post Office but in
nine cases out of ten it lies with the par
ties sending the letters.
GA short time since a Government
officer in this city was notified that two
letters had been sent to him, one contain
ing check for eighty thousand dollars.
He was, of course, In great trIbulation
when the letter failed to come to hand,
and supposed the delinquency to bc in
the post Office. But the letters had been
directed 20 the city of New York, instead
of Albany, and were discovered in the
advertised list, and secured, all right.
ga day or two since a gentleman in
Syracuse notified Mr. Roessle, of the
Delevan House, that he had forwarded
him SO, 500 to take up a note. But no
such letter came to hand Search was
instituted and inquiries made, but the
letter could not be found 1t was finally
discovered in the Office at Syracuse, held
for postage. ~
"One of our citizens put a thousand
dollar draft In letter directed to Buffalo
few days ago. It did not reach its
destination, and the post Office was duly
mathematical when 10 the letter turned
up among those held for postage.
"a twenty thousand dollar check was,
the writer supposed, sent to Illinois, but
it did not reach its destination. In due
time it was returned to him from the
dead letter Office It had been directed
to Michigan instead of Illinois
"Three members of family in this city
own stock in Western bank. One of
them received the regular dividend, but
the others did not After a while it was
found that the two missing letters had been
directed to New York instead of Albany.
"Instances like these are occurring ev-
cry day. The Post Office Department is,
of course, held rcsponsible-censured
when the letters are missed, but not re-
lieved from the censure when the delin-
quencies are found to belong to the par
ties themselves
"The chief causes of missing letters are,
first, instruction, and secondly, neglect
to stamp them properly. Of the latter
there have been deposited at the Office In
this city, since the LIST of January, seven
hundred and seventy-four. Except in
cases where the writer's are known (by
having their card upon the envelope,)
these are sent to the dead-letter Office.
at should be known that revenue
stamp is not recognized on letter and
great many letters are deposited With
such stamps upon them. These are all
sent to the dead letter cfice."
