g - 50 .a-A% Spring. ~ -
Spring is coming-Spring is coming!
With her sunshine and her shower:
b Heaven is ringing with the singing .a
or the birds in brake and bower.
Buds are filing, leaves are swelling,
Flowers IN field and bloom on tree
Der the earth and air and ocean
Nature holds her jubilee
Soft then stealing comes a feeling
Ger my bosom tenderly;
Sweetly ponder, as wander,
For my musings are of thee
Spring is coming-Spring is coming!
With her mornings fresh and light,
With her Moons OF chequered glory,
Sky of blue and clouds of white
Calm grey light falls, when the night falls
From the star -bespangled sky,
While the splendor, pale and tender,
OF the young moon CLEANS on high. =
Still at noon, at morn, at even,
Spring is full of joy for me
For ponder as / wander,
31 And my musings are of thee.
Still on thee my thoughts are dwelling,
Whatso'er thy name may be;
Beautiful, beyond words telling,
Is thy presence unto me.
Mornings breaking 6nds thee waking,
Wandering in the breeze's fight;
Noontide's glory mantles Ger thee
In shower of sunny light
DayEght's dying leaves thee lying I've
In the silvery twilight ray
Stars look brightly on thee nightly,
Till the coming Of the day.
Everywhere and every minute
Feel 1 near thee, lovely one
In the lark and in the ihnet
I can hear thy joyous tone.
; Bud and bloom now mark the coming
OF thy feet DER vale and hill;
And thy presence, with lifes essence,
Makes the forests heart to fill.
Low before thee, adore thee,
Love creative, thee I sing;
Now I meet thee, and Igreet thee
BY the holy name of Spring!

MIDNIGHT REPORT.

WASHINGTON, March 90,


WAsHIsGroS, March 20.
The Senate committee on territories yester-
day heard delegation of Indians from the
Indian Territory in favor of admitting that
territory into the Union as State.
The House territorial committee on consid.
ering the question of admitting Utah on APP
plication Of the Mormons Among the lead
ers of the Mormons now in Washington is a
son of Brigham Young, who is urging this
measure.
1t is said the question Of the admission of
Colorado will be reconsidered in the Senate.
The Posts Washington special states that
the ways and means committee has agreed to
take up the loan bill tomorrow. 1t is prob
able that 1t will be SO amended SO as to re-
strict the power of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. and in that form be passed by the House.
The President has approved the act in re-
lation to the court Of claims. It repeals the
fourteenth section Of the act establishing that
tribunal, which section provided that no
money shall be paid out Of the treasury for
any claim passed upon by ,he court, till after
an appropriation therefor shall be establish
ed by the secretary Of the treasury. The pres
ent law allows either party to appeal to the
supreme court Of the United States from any
final Judgment or decision or decree which
may hereafter be rendered in any cases
wherein the amount IN controversy exceeds
three thousand dollars. The amendment act
allows an appeal at any time within 90 days,
excepting IN sueh cases where the amounts
found due by the courts have been paid at the
treasury.
The United States Consul at Tdbasco,
Mexico, reports to the Department OF State
that on January Sd the position of the beliig
erents in that section was unchanged The
Consul is informed that hostilities have been
waged along the southern border Of the State
of Vera Cruz since the issue of the Emperor
Maximilian proclamation, which has led to
the massacre of those who we're so uhfortu-
nate as TO be taken prisoners of war by either
of the contending parties.
The Consul informs the Department that
in the late exploration he has discoveted the
ruins of two antient cities, which have re.
nained unnoticed and unknown sinfe the
days Of conquest.
: The Government does not seem TO appre.
bend ,ha, the Fenians viii attempt ah in,a-
| sion Of the British Provinces, nor is the Brit
ish seriously alarmed on the subject. Moth
ing is known to justify, the belief that the
Fenians have as yet gone beyoud Holding
meetings and making collections OF money
in aid of the cause. Certainly nothing has
yet been done of beiigerant chara liter TO
authorize the Government TO interfere

the following characteristic letter:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 81, 1866
Grey. DR.. II. w. BELIows-My dear sir:
am greatfu to you for the kind letter Just
received from you, and hasten to reply,
was invited to write for the prize; but for two
reasons ! abstained First, | was too deeply
engrossed in my present peculiar work, aud
secondly, | was ooncious of an inability to
write fair hand. However my penmanship
is quite as good IS that formerly with the
right hand
II heard lady in the cars lately detailing
the sufferings, modification and repinings Of
a young man who had lost his right arm in
in the service. He said at first everybody
received hin, kindly, showed him sympathy
and saye him aid, but now it had come to be
an old story, and he received no special at
tention and found il difficult to find position
where he could gain livelihood.
II will say to you, my dear sir, that there
are times when the deformity and inconyen-
fience come across the minl and disturb the
equinimity of those who are full Of ambition
to make the best Of whatever befalls. do
not believe that even the plaudits OF CRATE
ful people, or the conscious pride arising
from the glorious rewards bestowed upon
patriotic efforts, will be enough to sustain the
one armed man 50 as to make him cheerful,
hopeful, and happy Al all times, 50 As to en-
able him TO forget all the nervous pains and
sensitive feelings that constantly assail him.

recall, with melancholy interest, my last
interview with my Indiana friend. 1t was by
his own freside in Washington. Georgia had
seeded, and !, against the advice Of true and
sagacious friends, was preparing to return to
my home. Both Of US we're mourning the
folly and madness that menAced the peace Of
the country. He drew vivid pieture Of the
inevitable conflict he saw approaching, and
feelinely suggested that his son and mine
might meet in deadly strife, stras2ers to each
other, and one Of them might fall by the 9TH

can ever know what have lost, and fewer

ticians. Oh, secession, secession! The
bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous,
and yet thou hvest unrebnked in Georgia.
You are all satisfied that am powerless in
Georgia, but you are not so we'll assured that
condemnation of ME is destructive Of my in
fuence at Washington. 1t becomes
now, to insure that. You may succeed in
convincing those who control the Government
that the organization of stupendous rebel
country. the sacrifice Of hundreds Of thou
sands Of valuable lives lost in trying TO main
tain the supreme authority, together with the
slaughtered thousand cru ely seduced or driv-
en- to take arms as insurgents, is hight affair.
Yon may. by Ingenious augmentation, prove
that the men most to be trusted by the Gov
ernment are those most prominently and con-
spicuously identified with the rebel Govern
ment; the men whose names must live IN
history, more on account of the high places
they occupied in the rebel Government than
for anything they ever did in the service Of
their lawful Government. But when yon
succeed in all this. then cover over with b
thick veil the nices inyour capitol thatmay con
tain the statnes OF Washington, jackson, Weh-
ster aud Clay. and forbid POUR eouatrymen
to look upon them again. Then will the rev.

come a phantom.

Ant,-Popery Tendency OF Fen.an..

One Of the most extraordinary features ef
Fenianlsm is its anti Popery tendency, and
one Of the most curious episties Of the age is
the letter Of thanks of the Queen of the
Church Of England. addressed TO the Pope Of
Rome, for his accommodation Of her disaf-
fected subjects IN Irehpd. The archbishop Of
New York was Illuminating against the Fe-
mans from the pulpit. when he was called
upon not 10 meddie with matters that do not
belong TO his theological sphere. Another
meddlesome priest, Bishop Lynch of South
Carolina, hurls anathemas against the Feni-
ans. who receive them with scorn and de-
rsion. Another priest of Rome, however.
candidly admits TO his New York congreya-
tion that he is personally in favor of the Irish
rebels, but that he Is bound TO preach against
their movements in obedience TO superior or
ders. The archbishop OF Dublin. and the
other Roman prelates OF irelandand England
are anaihematizing the Fenians in compliance
with the same Papal decree. But all in vain
The spell OF priestcrati is broken and if the
fenian movement does not result in ANYTHING
else. it promises at least 10 give deadly blow
to Popery both in lrelaud and America.
Pho Mono. snubbed Russia and Prussia. is
thus also snubbed BIZ bis own religions con
stituency. and left at the mercy of popular
opinion, which is steadily rising against the
one man power in France The Holy Father
made grave mistake in addressing Jefferst
Davis as chief OF an independent nationality.
In the mightiest upheavings OF this any
age, OF great people against the oppressos .
OF their liberties. he has unfortunately sided
with the oppressors. AID drawn upon himself
that contempt which is now displayed against
his authority by the leaders aud followers Of
the IRISH rebellion. ckied3o Tribue.

Tn. au.en Of Ensl.n4 In Love.


RoYAL GossIP.-I had nearly written royal
scandal-for, to tell the plain truth, the talk
that now floats through private society in
London, is little less. | am panied TO say
that this gossip involves no less parsonage
than Queen Victoria. 1t has, for long time,
been on people tongues, but it has at last
appeared IN the newspapers. 1t is said that
the Queen has taken prodigious liking to
very good looking, but '.ignoble' Scotcaman,
named Brown, who was formerly a sort OF
outdoor body servant to Prince Albert. and
indeed bears strong resemblance to the
Prince. She SO doats upon him that she
keeps him constantly near her person, at all
her palaces, and in all her journeys to and
from them. She consuits her pet on all SUBJ
jects, and takes his advice so absolutely that
the rest Of the Royal Household have become
very jealous of him. The last story is that
she is going to Knight him. Marry him she
can not, for the law of the realm forbds her
to marry one of her own subjects. 1t is very
disagrceable, nay, it is worse than sagreea
BILE to mention these things of one who as
wife and mother and Queen. has SO high a
place in the reverence of the world.
have refrained from speaking of these
stories whIle they were merely talked OF IN
private, but now they lave become so noto
rious, and are so poe vely mentioned in
English papers, that / can no longer regard
them as empty tales.
