Tender words of love eternal, ..f.

For the shade which we should fling,

Bearing cups of cooling water,
Planting rows of shading palms.
II we knew when walking thoughtlcss,
Thr ugh the crowded, dusty way,
That some pearl of wondrous whilencss,
Close beside the pathway lay
We would pause where now we hasten,
We would oftener look around;
Lest our careless feet should tramplc,
Some rare jewel in the ground.

to resume the cultivation Of their
plantations by employing the freed
men. before The close Of 1866, there
was aHenSire revolution in the senti-
,ments of the people of the South
with regard to the negro labor. "A
feeling of kindness sprang up To-
wards the freedmen, resulting. per
haps. mainly from the conviction
that his labor was desirable, profit
able and the only labor to be had.
The necessity of the Bureau then
ceased. Since then, while it has
been beneficial in some localities. it
has been productive, in, the aggre-
gate, OF more harm than good. Ii
has occasioned and will perpetuate
discord as long as at exists, though
administered by the purest and wisest
men OF the nation. The freedmen
regard It's presence as evidence that
they would be unsafe without it, and
the white people consider il an impu-
tation- upon their integrity and fair
ness; an espionage upon the official
action of all their courts and maeis-
trates, as well as upon the private
conduct Of their citizens. Both races
are thus made suspicious and bitter
by All agency which, in the present
re-organized condition of civil 60
vernment and society in the. South
ern States, is powerless to advance
the interests of either.

EXACTLY RIGHT. German, the
late Postmaster of the Senate, was
summarily dismissed from that office
by the radicals, because he favored
the Presidents policy. We are glad
to see that the President has appoint
ed him Collector Of the Internal
Revenue in Maryland, OF which State
he is native. The dismissal from n
petty Office of y faithful and compe .
tent employee, because he differed
from bis employers on political CUES
tons, is worthy Of radical meanness;
but ns this is game two can play at,
we arc of opinion that the President
will rot be much worsted.

"Our crop will be light this year.

but not more than one-half of tho

crops on the river look badly, except
on some small patches that wcro not
overdowed. On great many places
where they have made two bales to
the acre, they will not make one bale
to five acres, and on some places not
one bale to twenty-five acres. Nearly
all the corn was killed by the over
flow. Some planted after the water
went of, but the cut worm eat nearly
al Of it. I hear that the caterpillar
and boil worm have commenced on
the cotton, but have not seen any

this year. My crop looks we'll 1

Tho Financial Prospect

Notwithstanding our political -trou-
bless the hries statements we publish
from time to time, issued from the
Treasury Department., are quite en-
coufaging. From one of the most
recent Of these bulletins, we learn
that the national debt has been re-
duced during HE year ending the 1st
inst, to az amount nearly of $125,-
100000. AND after all this has been
done, there is still Left in the Trea-
sury, according to the report OF the
Secretary, bhe sum of sl37.317, 332
These are highly encouraging 6 figures,
and dispel any apprehension With
regard to any disaster arising from
the large amount of the debt Of
the Government. Had it not been
for radical legislation, reckless as it
was, both politically and financially,
this favorable exhibit would have
been still stronger than it even
now is
With the restoration of all the
States, and the consequent prosperity
Of such action, with the overthrow OF
the radicals, and their reckless extra
vagance, and under the wise manage
