The Snow.

BY FRANK FIELDING.
The snow, the pure, new fallen snow
How gracefully 1t comes,
Scattered by unseen spirit hands
White flowers, from Heavens high dome
Y early recurring miracle
ofperfect purity.
The angels fair robes, not more white
Or tree from stain can be-
Falling as soft and noiselcssly,
As heavens grace descends,
1t, to the cold and naked earth,
aeecy mantle lends
Like charity's broad mantle DER
All mperfections cast,

Defects, from sight at last.
Fresh from the great Creators hand
A lovely mystery,
We marvel ever rs it comes,
Its perfect grace to seel
The angels grieve with US, when earth
Is dreary and forlorn,
And so they send this goody gift,
When the green grass is gone.
Then let us prize this gift of love
And bless its Maker too,
And keep our spirits pure and fair
As the new fallen snow

PROCLAMATION
The Radical Programme Boldly De-
clared.

The proceedings of the Pittsburg
Convention, which met on the Goth
inst, can be characterized by no milder
term than infamous. They breathe tie
spirit of hell itself, and are worthy the
foul elements which composed that
body of radical robbers. Our readers
will find g synopsis of their wonderful
doings in our dispatches this morning
Beast Butler was there in all his glory
--''the lion of the Convention'- fit
creature to receive the homage of such
worshipers. He is in favor of a general
hanging of " rebels, and general
contiscation Of the property. Wepre-
sumo be wants another opportunity to
raid on silver spoons. He declares
that Jefferson Davis shall swing, and
that Robert z. Lees parole is of no
avail. He don't think that we are
HumJle enough, nor that we have been
thankful enough for all the clemency
that has been vouchsafed us. No, nor
would he if we were even base enough
to say that Beast Butler was gentle
man.
We'll, we thought we were Very sor-
ry The vandalism and tyranny to
which we have been subjected have
had the effect of causing many to
regret the experiment of revolution,
and when that so signally failed we
thought we had made up our minds to
return to our allegiance and be good
and loyal citizens. But it seems that
we are not We are still "rebels,"
pardoned only by the President, but
never forgiven by the Radicals. Let
them succeed in carrying out the pro-
gramme which they have so candidly
announced, and ireland and Poland
would each be paradise compared to
our sunny South" We hope howev-
er, for better things. We do not
think that God viii prosper the wick
ed designs of this fanatical crew
against constitutional liberty, and
against every principle of right and
justice. Let the Beast below; let
Fremont fume, and Cox crow. Their
crazy threats intimidate no one, but
only show how desperate they regard
their chances of success. Johnson

Even those who opposed secession,
and engaged in the war only under
compulsion, would be embraced by
this provision, as well as the man who
had given to a hungry soldier meal $

Such a provision would be so con-
trary to the theory of our Govern

very large class of the population OF
the Southern States, that it cannot be
supposed that those who proposed 1t
could have entertained hope that it
would be accepted They ought to
have known, too, that such proyl-
sion was calculated to cndanger the
existence Of the Government, as re-
volutions may always be expected,
sooner or later, from acts which dis
franchised the enfranchised class. If

EDUCATIONAL.

EDITOR CLARION:
Please to publish the appended resolutions
that were prepared for the Teachers Con-
vention: They are now submitted to the
consideration of Gov. Humphreys and the
Legislature. They embrace matters of the
very first Importance, and while their author
fears his own Judgment in the premises, he
has an abiding confidence in the wisdom
and patriotism of the present State Govern
ment. All of our future depends upon our
selves; and the humble position of the wri-
ter, he feels, cannot excuse him from doing
all he can to advance the cause of humanity.
Common schools are the broadcast egis of
any land. and the only basis of an enlight-
ened public opinion. Universities and high
schools are necessary; but it is the diffusion
of elementary instruction among the poorer
and more numerous class of citizens, that
affords the best security for the stability of
well ordered government.
