Loyal Practices.


The .loyal" Gen. wRTrzEL was silly
enough TO appear In print, in Texas, and by
some Of his bills of Indictment Of the 10y
atty Of Southern parties, brought out frpm
Matamoras paper the following reyela-
tions Speaking Of the contraband trade
during the war, It says:
All the way from Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and New orleans
lovers Of the Union come 10 Matamoras 10
exchange the very articles the reDeis
wanted for high-priced cotton. Gums ana
ammunition, however. to a very hmited
extent, found their way here; but every
thing else that could be thought OF, III any
manner serviceable to the rebels, came in
abundance from New England, and were
directly sold to the rebels by the blatant
Union men. eE5" Beast Butler n Brother
actually shipped from New orleans 10

ship-load of picked pork. Not only dld
they send a ship-load of pork, but Butter u
Brother sent out here for coLtoh,eNSnanHc
army supplies, which went directly into
Texas through their accommodation mousse
President LINCOLN aud Secretary SEWARD
were both advised Of this state of affairs
by Mr.. PIERCE, the American Consul at
Matamoras, but no interference In the con-
traband trade followed-the villainy went
on. The Matamoras journal adds:
oButler shipped supplies, whilst com
maudiny at New Orleans, for rebel destina-
ton and consumption; Yankee skippers
brought them, and, In most instances. an,
kee sharpers received them here ana SOFA
them to the rebels.

war, or that it is now striving to keep th'

confederate dead now sleeping at Holly
wood cemetery, Richmond, Va, is about
5000 representing every State of the late
Confederacy; and the number in Oakwood
cemetery is at least 10000. 1t is designed
to erect monument on the most command
ing knoll of each of these cemeteries, with
an appropriate inscription, commemorative
of the virtues and distinguished gallantry
of the dead.

LEARNING TO WALK.
BY GEORGE COOPER.


Only beginning the journey,
Many a mile 10 go;
Little 1eet, how they patter,
Wandering to and fro.
Trying again, so bravely.
Laughing in baby glee;
Hiding its face in mothers lap,
Proud as a baty can be.
Talkine the oldest language
Ever before was heard;
But mother you'd hardly think SOY
Understands every word. ,..
Tottering now, and falling,
Eyes that are going to cry;
Kisses and plenty OF love-words,
Willing again to try.
Father Of all, 0 guide them
The pattering little feet,
While they are treading the uphill road,
Braving the dust and heat!
Aid them when they grow weary,
Keep them in pathways blest,
And when the journeys ended,
Saviour, o give them restl
