From the Newbern Times
Mr.. Ratess Card.

We call attention, this morning, to the
card Of Mr. T. F. Bates, superintendent Of
the Southern Express Company IN this State.
We never published the letter Of Col: Aston,
referred to in the card, but we publish that
of Mr.. Bates, because we think he has been
ungenerously dealt with by that class OF our
Southern people who 90 for ostracising and
aputting down. all who refuse to be con-
trolled by them. We have come to pretty
pass, when gentleman cannot give evidence
under oath, when SO compelled to do, with
out being pursued and prosecuted continu-
ally BY the press of the country. Why should
Mr.. Bates be thus set upon by the pretended
admirers of Mr.. johnson 1t was the Presi-
dent who had Mr.. Davis arrested, and it is
he who still keeps him confined. Why not
directtheir shafts of calumny and abuse at
Mr.. johnson, instead of at Mr.. Bates 2 Such
a system of warfare is not only puerile, but
it is cowardly, and serves to show that their
professions Of friendship for and admiration
of President johnson are deceitful and hyp-
ocritical.

Selected Poetry.
weighing the Baby.
BY ETHEL LYNN.


aHow many pounds does the DaDy weigh
Baby, who came but month agos
How many pounds from the GROWING cur
To the rosy point of the restless toe e
Grandfather ties the 'kerchiefs knot,
Tenderly guides the swinging weight,
And carefully over his glasses peers,
To read the record, "Only eight"
Softly the echo goes around;
The father laughs at the tiny girl;
The fair young mother sings the words,
While the grandmother smooths the gol-
den curl.
And stopping above the precious thing,
Nestles kiss within prayer,
Murmuring softly, Little one,
Grandfather did not weigh you fair"
Nobody weighed the baby's smile,
Or the love that came with the helpless
one;
Nobody weighed the threads OF care
From which woman's life is spun.
No index tells the mighty worth
OF little baby's quiet breath =
A soft, unceasing, metronome,
Patient and faithful unto death.
Nobody weighed the baby's soul
For here on earth no weights there be
That could avail; God only knows
Its value in eternity.
Only eight pounds to hold soul,
That seeks no angels silver wing,
But shrines it in this human guise,
Within so fair and small thing.
Oh, mother, laugh your merry note;
Be gay and glad, but don't forget
From baby's eyes looks out soul
That claims home in Eden yet.

tant matter by any personal consider
ations, but that though he believed his
policy perfectly sound, he should cease
to contend for it the moment he became
satisfied that the interests Of the country
demanded that he should do SO. Think
/ hazard little in predicting that ina
few days Mr.. johnson will recommend
the Southern States to ratify the obnox-
ious amendment, and that the recon-
mendation will be promptly followed.
1t will perhaps be wondered, as it has
been an hundred times before about
other things, how your correspondent
heard these conversations; whether
he was concealed in the ceiling or under
the Presidents table, or whether the
walls have ears which he is allowed to
pull at pleasure, or whether he is, as

The New York Tribune ON Mr.. Davis.

NO Now DIX lrlDuuo Oh Iuis DosASe
We find the following reference to
Ex-President Davis in the New York
Tribune of Friday.
President johnson has declared that
he cannot interfere before Mr.. Davis
has been tried by the proper court, it
is therefore to Chief Justice Chase that
the appeal is addressed.
We cherish no i'll feeling toward this
prisoner; while on the other hand, he
is stranger to us, whom we have new
er been tempted either to love or ad-
mire. That he has played an impor-
tant part makes no difference in our
view. He is just man, after all, and
in good part the creature of circumstan-
ces, as most men are. That some have
wanted to hang him con sour apple
tree" while others have done as like
honor, is quite immaterial. But we
do feel that the Government of our
country is disgracing ITSELF by its treat
ment of this prisoner that it ought to
have brought him to trial long since,
and let him know his fate-that it is
playing shabby, shutting, cowardly,
part with regard to him-that it should
eithr retract its charge of assassination
or have him indicated and tried there
on according to law-that keeping him
in prison untried, and not even attemp-
ting to bring his case to issue, is diffu-
sing an impressing at the South that
the government dare not try him for
fear of damaging developments and a
diecomfting verdict. In short, if there
was ever a case mismanaged, to the
peril of momentuous public interests it
is, in our view, that ofthe United States
against Jefferson Davis; and it is a
high misdemeanor in some one to per-
init it to drag on in this miserable fash
ion.
All this-most of it, at any rate-we
have urged already-perhaps more than
once-and, as no good had been effec-
ted, we might as well have said nothing.
Some exceedingly smart people think
capital may be made for or against An
drew johnson by letting this game go
on. Wefeel that the prisoner should be
arraigned at once on the most damaging
charge that can be maintained against
him that he shold be promptly and fairly
tried thereon-and that all talk of pun
ishing or pardoning him should be fore
born till the verdict shall have been
rendered. There seem to be persons to-
day who decent from these views but
does any one imagine that there can be
a question, twenty years hence, as to
their soundness and Importance

RepudiatiOn.

The Petersburg lnder winds up an adj
mirable article upon this subject in the fol-
lowing language:
"Surely there is courage, and principle,
and pride, and christianity enough still left
in Virginia to sti1e this serpent in Its very
cradle"
When we first learned that such an idea,
was stealing upon the community, and that
artful politicians, whose standard of morality
and honor was not sufficiently high, were
filling their sails with the gentle breeze, hop
ing soon that it would increase, until it got
to be perfect storm which should watt
them into power, we raised our feeble voice
against it.
The pulpit might we'll take hold of this
subject. For, while we condemn political
preaching as much as any man living, we
consider reputation a legitimate theme for
the denunciation and warning of the minis
tiers of the Gospel. If it be not taught in the
Scriptures that we should pay our debts,
then we confess, we have read our Bible in
vain.
But there can be no doubt that the press
is not proper means, yea, the very best
means, ofputting down this political and re-
hgious heresy
Of all the horrid evils which could befal a
community, we consider reputation the
worst. Take away honesty from the people,
andwhat would we become No man would
trust his neighbor trade could not flourish ;
nothing could prosper. The great effort
ought to be to nip reputation in the bud
When such demoralizing principle spreads
widely over a community, there is no end
to the mischief which would ensue. We
warn the young and inconsiderate against
advocating such measure. In after life, they
would give the world to wipe out the stain.
No, let us raise up our sons to be honest, if
we have not cent to give them. Far bet
ter to be cast upon the world dependent up
on their own personal exertions, fortified by
virtue and honesty, than to have houses and
lands retained by reputation. An honest
man, it seems to us, would scom to hold
property by repudiating his just debts. We
| had rather see son of ours live beggar
than to hear him advocating the abominable
principle of repudiation.-Dan. Times
