Amid the clouds Of battle smoke
The sun had died away.
And where the storm of battle broke
A thousand warriors lay.
4 band of friends upon the field,
Stood round youthful form,
Who, when the war clouds thunders peai'd,
Had perishd in the storm
Upon bis forehead, on his hair.
The coming moonlight breaks;
And each dear brother standing there,
tender farewell takes.
But e'er they laid him in his home
There came a comrade near,
And gave token that had come,
From her the dead held dear,
moments doubt upon them pressd
Then one the letter takes.
And lays it low upon his breast
Hell see it when he wakes -
Oh! thou. who dost in sorrow wait,
Whose heart with angu ish breaks.
Though thy dear message came too late,
He Il see it when he wakes
Ne'er more amid the fiery storm
Shall his strong arm be seen,
No more bis young and manly form,
Press Mississippis grsen..
And cen thy tender words Of love-
The words affection speaks
Came all too late bat oh thy Nove

No sound disiurbs his gentle rest,
No noise his slumber breaks,
But thy words sleep upon his breast,
He'll see them when he wakes y!

THE lxgEAcHxENr MovEnEsr-Th,
Washington correspondent Of the Cincin
natl Commercial, under a late date, lite,
as follows:
The impeachment Of the President
long whispered at, is now openly advor
Gated. and the echo is caught up By such
newspapers as the Chicago Tribune in
demands for the Immediate arraignment
Of Andrew johnson for a series Of high
crimes aad nisdemeaaars. which they
find it very easy to enumerate. In a
former letter stated that the President
had been informed. on authority that he
could not question. that H. was the intea.
zion Of the msjority in Congress TO attempt
his impeachment as soon as they should
have secured the necessary vote in the
Senate to carry out his tcheme. The
President listened to what was said on the
subject. aAd replied that he had every
reason to believe it was true.
It mag be said that all speculation on
thi, head are groundless. because the
President hss committed no crime for
which he could be impeached. But give
the radicals the numerical strength in the
Senate, which they hope yet TO have by
,hs admission of Colorado, and the place
now held by Mr.. Stanton, and there will
be "crimes" enough found sgains. him in
very short time. The men who seek
his conviction are the men y ho will be for
them to judge as we'll what constitutes a
high crime or misdemeanor as whether
such high crime or misdemeanor has been
committed. their power to convict will
soon resolve itself into an act OF conyic.

A Woman,s Adventures in the Rebel Army.

A ASavannah paper gives the following account
OF a woman who served us lieutenant IN the
Rebel army during the war:-
"Dlrs. Loretta j. Decaulp, well known as Lieu
tenant I. Butord, OF the Confederate States army
is now tempora! lly in this city, and residing at
the Pulaski House, but will soon leave for
Charleston. Her object here is to collect SUBJ
scripGions for three forthcoming works which
she Is preparing, entitled the Cruise OF the
Shenandoah; or, the Last OF the Coniederacy;
The History of the Southern Confederacy,' in
cluO1ng personal adventures OF the authoress;
and 'Buord's Pocms.'
"At the commencement of the war she de-
voted her property and her personal eXertions
to the Confederate cause, and in male disguise
raised a company in Texas, which she COM
nanded at Manassas. She was afterwards con-
cted with a cavalry company at the West. She
was three years in active service, and was three
times wounded and once taken prisoner. She
was also for about a year in the Rebel Govern
ment service North and in Europe.
''The following is from the Atlanta LateHi-
genc@:-
&" Mrs. Decaulp.-It was in 1868 we drst met
in this city this second Joan OF Arc.' She was
then attred in the garb OF an officer, and was
introdu ced 10 us as Lieutenant Bufor6, in the
Confederate service. There are many now in
this city who will remember this heroine, and
her marriage with hcI late husband, Mr.. De-
caulp, a soldier in the same service, since de-
ceased. We had lost sight of and knowledge of
the whereabouts OF this daring and romantic
gll until few days AGO. when we saw IN
Ouc vi OuI GACudnPeS u complimentary
notice of her, and OF her return 10 the South.
or this fact we had ocnlar demonstration
on Yesterday, for while we were engaged, scis-
sors in hand, clipping from our exchanges,
there entered INTO our sanctum an elegantly
dressed lady, still in the bloom of youth, and
beautiful to behold, whom we soon recognized
as the vertaDle Lieutenant Buord, now
widow-her husband having died shortly after
her alliance with him. Mrs. Loretta j. DecGulp
-ior that is the lady's name in iull-intorms us
that she surrendered herself prisoner in Wash
mgton City, 10 the authorities there, and was
treated with great kindness. She has been a
great Notwithstanding visited Europe twice,
Canada also, and on each occasion In the COntede-
rate service. She Is now engaged in writing her
history, in which will be en- braced, OF course,
tie dangers through which sne has passed in
the tented and OF the battlefield; on the high
seas, and amid the crowded cities of Europe; at
Nassau, and in running the blockade; and ior
the publication OF which she solicits subscribers

Reconstruction in Congress.

FROM he tribune.
We hear with satisfaction that the Union
Senators have been holding several private con.
terences with regard to reconstruction, and that
there is a prospect OF agreement that the plan,
as 1t shall be finally shaped by majority, will
(as in the House) be voted for by all who still
adhere to the party. This resolve is so mani.
festy wise and expedient that we can hardly
dorGt its ultimate adoption. And, if it is TO
be adopted at some time, why not forthwith?
Had this course been adopted at the outset.
the original plan of the Joint Committee, pro-
posing in substance that each State which saw
nj to exclude the colored (or any other) race
from power in the Government, by ewing il
the right OF suffrage, should not henceforth be
allowed 10 count that race as a basis OF repre-
senlatlon in Congress, would have received
more than the required twothlrds vote in the
senate, as ~ actually did IN the House and
would ere this have been so far on the road to
ratification that the eX.Rebel States would have
been required to choose between coming INTO
Congress under 1t and staying out indefinitely
but MI. summers unfortunate Contempt for

and not only explains but commenl ls itself.
Thus in the Connecticut Senate, last Thursday,
MIR. Ballard submitted the following, and brought
the body to vote on II, vZ:-
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representa-.
tivcs IN General Assembly convened, IhaJ our
Senator's and representatives IN Congress pc, and
are hereby, requested TO urge the passage OF such

states as will secure to the white men of Uonneccnt

The Democratic Senators voted no they
thought they couldn't help it-but If taking an
old-lashioned dose OF castor oil, followed by one
OF alOes and TINS by gill apiece OF cut.thrCat
vinegar, would have excused them, they would
have taken the drugs and dodgyd the vote
The amendment now before the Senate is too
complicated and cumbrous. Il needs h'la-
delphia lawyer to expound and eucidate it.

chisement OF ex-Rebels TIL 1870 is Eve plesume)

Keeping the Irish from the ballot-boXes, we
should have been well content with any sub5ti-
tute that would prevent Their voting more tnan
once at the same election. So now, If the eX-
Rebels are willing to stand on an equal footing
with the rest OF us, we shall be satisfied. And
il they should not be obliged to, it will be for
lack Of practical wisdom Joined with excess of
sell-conceit in Congress.
Let it be clearly understood that no plan of
restoration that Congress can or should devise
Will be accepted at once by the Southern oil
gaTChy. They will wait, at all events, to see if
the Copperheads cannot carry the next House,
so as to let them in with flying colors. They
mean that not only shall the iatted calf be killed
to honor their return, but that they shall mo-
nopolize all the veal. What Congress now does
all it can do-is to make up an issue for the
impending elections. And great care should be
taken to make this issue so clear and simple that
none can misunderstood it,
Such are our general views. But, whatever
may be the shape ultimately given to the plan
OF Congress- we pray every Union Senator to
give it his vote.
