The LAST The last of our soldier boys
have returned from the wars. The 50th is
mustered out. and the boys arrived home Sat-
urday and Sunday. Thank God, that the
agony is over. No more drafts to be filed
quotas to be raised. recruits to he mustered
No more absent ones 10 be anxiously looked
for. No more sending forth of husbands, and
SONS, and fathers, and friends, TO do battle
against treason. and in favor of loyalty and
law. II is over. No more paintings, such as
Wiring the life from ont young hearts.
And choking signs which II eer again
might be re Gated.
There are absent ones" who never will
return,-whO have gone down in the crash o
battle, who have fallen in the deadly charge.
who have dropped out in the weary march,
who have expired in the dismal swamps, who
have persisted in the crowded hospital-;here
are many such whose return We shall never
welcome. But we will welcome the return
ing living. and drop tear of sorrow for the
glorious dead.
There will he comparatively little more TO
remind us of the dark and bloody days of
war. The boys are all home, the army
blue" gives way to the varied costumes of
civil life, and peace again smiles JOY and
plenty on the land.

Extract Of a Letter from
Cen Richardson.

Gen. w p. Richardson, commandant
at Darlington, S. c., writes letter to the
Cincinnati Commercial, in which occurs
the following passage:
"My district is composed ofnine Coun.
ties, Tor Districts, as they are called here,
in tile North eastern part of the State, and
a most hopeful state of affairs exists
The freedmen are all employed at fair wg-
ges, ard are working, according to the
statements of planters themselves, much
better than there was, for while, any
reason 10 anticipate. :! have .labored dill
igently to restore relations of mutual con
fdcnce between the planters and the freed
nen, on the principle that; as these people
we're compelled to live together, the inte-
rests of both parties would be promoted by
the relations between them being barmo-
nious, and I have succeeded beyond my
expectations. Planters exhibit their con-
lidcnce in the freedmen by planting to the
full of their ability, and the freedmen, by
their good conduct and industry, seem
determined to convince. every one that
they may be relied upon intheir new con"
dition."

The President Sustained.

The postponcmcnt Of yesterday in the
House of Representatives, by an imme1se
majority, Of the proposed amendmentiao
the Constitution, is looked upon as an adj
mission on the part of the Radicals that
a direct fight with the President is not in
order. In addition to this, we are assur,
cd from good authority that the Cabinet
is nearly or quite unanimous in support
Of the Presidents policy. I]E.s 2.
We also print astrehg speech en- the
same side, made last night in Richmond
by Mr. Conway, formerly Representative
from Kansas, anG then the very Ajax of
Radica|ism. Mr.. Conway is in Virgins,
has seen ard heard for himself, and is
able to speak with authority to: his Cons
gressional friends. Turning eastward, I'VE
find at New Haven, last evening, ag7eat,
gathering of the first citizens Of Connect
icut to uphold the Presidents hands, at
which Senator Doolittle, of. Wisconsin,
made strong speech; and, what is more
noteworthy, was followed in the same
vein by Reverend Leonard Bacon, .. D.,
the widely .kaown and beloved head Of
his church in New England, sld formerly
editor Of tie Independent" in this city.

sir, I expected him Mr. Sumner to go
further, and in the next breath to say that
what with the Constitution of the States,
the negro had been cruci6ed between two

he discusses subjects With candor, digni>

A Sharp Girl.

A few years ago, among the reigning
bellies in New Orleans was young lady
from up the river, who was UNIVERSAL =
known by the not very femme soubri-
quet "The Great Western" Our fair
heroine was as remarkable for her witty
and cultivated conversation rs she was
for her very great personal attractions.
One evening when she was in ball>
room, surrounded by bevy of admiring
beaux, an impertinent sciou Of ciivalry.

ry abruptly, "Pray Miss, why are
you called the The Great Western ?"
"Reslly sir" was the ready and caus>
tic reply, 81 cannot tell, unless its be-
cause I have so many fats in tow :"
1t is needless % say that the inquiring
youth was not the only victim hit by
this well-aimed revolver.
Upon another occasion, the same lady
met at the foot of the stairs, as she was
returning from a walk, person who had
Just been to call upon her, and whom, as
it happened, she by no means affected,
"Oh, Miss--!' he exclaimed, II re-
grct so much that l did not find you at
homc--I left my card however"
ut will do just as we'll, sir" was the
very unexpected answer which he receiv.

The yearly mortality Of the Globe is
81, 1888, 1893 persons. This is at the rate
of 1854 per day, $3.50 erhour, 60 per
minute. So each pulsation of our heart
marks the decease of some human crea-
tnre. The average of human life is. 33
years. Three .tenths of the population
die at or before the age of 4 years one.
half at or before Al years. Among 1000
persons, who arrives at the age of 100
years, one, in loo attains the age Of 80,
and one in lives to the age of 73 Mar
ried men live longer than single ones. In
1000 persons, 65 marry, and more mar
riages occur in June and December than
in any other months. Professions exercise
great influence on longevity. In 900
individuals who arrive at the age of 10
years, AZ arc priests, orators or public

A Letter from General
Forrest.

N. 6. Callawdy, Eaitor Memphis Asa
lache:
On my arrival in Memphis, few day:
since, from my plantation,a copy of the
Avalaache-was shown me in which was
represented as having fled the country.
THANK you for the kind manner in which
you vindicated my name from misrcpre-
sentation. Owing to the relations you
occupied towards me during the last three
years, l know of no one better calculated
to do me justice than yourself. Your re-
presentation of certain incidnts in my ca
reer are true, and will be corro onorated by
every man IL my command and by most
the colored troops, some Of whom are
men in my employ. But in defending
me, | regret that you should suppose for
a mement that.:l could be induced to
leave the country. Certainly no act or
expression OF mine could have furnished
ground for such a supposition. In sur.
rendering my command in April last in a
public address to my troops, urged them
to return homc-to be true to their obli-
cations and as they had made good laws
abidings citizens. No soldier Of my COM
mand has been false to his pledges. ]
have certainly been true to mine, for
since the surrender, I have been silent
and unobtrusive, quietly laboring upou
my farm, and Iregret my seclusion is so
often distributed by reports in the news
pers, which are as unjust to the Govern
ment as they are to my own charater.
have never committed an act, uttered a
word, or entertained sentiment not in
strict accordance with the most human.
izing military usages, and fear no iuves.
tigation into my conduct, certainly do
not intend to leave the country, for my
destiny is now with the great American
Union, and I shall contribute all my in,
auence towards strengthening the Goyern~
ment, sustaining its credit, uniting the
people once more in the indissoluble bonds
of peace and affection. AS ever.
Truly your friend,

Another Surrender Re-
ported.

The Radicals cannot do without the
Executive patronage. According to q
Washington dispatch in Philadelphia
paper, "Thaddeus Stephens has buried
the hatchet, and in future will work more
in harmony with the President. His;frst
act of repentance was to forward to the
President letter soliciting the appoint-
ment of postmaster in Pennsylvania for a
friend whom he (Stephens) indorsed in
full, and which the President received in
Lis usual gracious manner, granting the
favor asked for within an hour"
The President has given Stephens and
Co. something 10 smoke: thus does the
pipe of peace 90 round.-N.Y. Neaos Of
