rhetoiically rounded, and brilliant
,;metaphors, and poetic imagery,
and Fights Of fancy; but the high
toned beauty has failed to touch
our hearts as did the simple elo-
quence of the minister in the old
church. -'. '.
There, too. is the graveyard where
sleep in dust the ashes of those who
were so dear to us in life, andwhose
memories come to US with the rise
Of sun, and the pale light of stars.
There rest the companions Of our
.sehoolboy days, and our youthful
sports, And there, too, she lies
who roamed hand in hand with us
Vabout the valley, who plucked with
US the wild flowers beside the brook,
who saw with the appreciative eye
the violets blooming on the role of
May, and wept with us happy tears
at the glory and georgeousness of
summer sunsets. For eleven years
she has listened to the harp notes
fthe angels. Still we love to lin
ger beside her grave near the old
church, and fancy that the mild
breathing Of the evening air is eau
sed by the soft rustling of an an
gels wings. Do not blame us for
loving the old church, for memo
ries are ours, pure and holy as the
dreams of a dying saint, when We
sit in the shadow of its walls.

A LeYantine PRINCE.

Oriental appearance, arrived in
MarseilleS by the packet from Alex
ander. He went to the Grand Ho-
tel, where die, gave his name as
Prince Kalimali, and asked for the
bestsuite ofapartmentin the house.
The name Of Kalimaki being we'll
known to the landlord as that of
one Of the best families in Turkey,
the stranger though he had no re-
tinue, and had but scant luggage,
was installed as the most distingu-
ished guest of the Grand Hotel in
the handsome set of rooms which
shortly before had been occupied
by the Emperor of Russia. The
next morning the Prince left his
card at the. Turkish Consulate, and
the ,Xiee=Consul, in the absence of
the Consul General, returned the
visit in person. The Prince stated
at the Motel that his father had an
immense estate in Turkey in the
midst Of which was a navigable lake
entirely his private property, on
the bosom Of which large steam
boats were daily plying. His OBJ
ject in coming to France was to
buy horses for his fathers friend,
Ali Pasha, and he asked many ques-
tions as to the best means of procur-
ing fine horses, He was introduc-
ed to NJ. Carbonnel, the largest
horse dearler in the south of France
and who has stables at Marseilles,
Avignon, and Lyons. TIE Prince,
whose taste in horsedesh was ex-
tremely difficult to please, found
none of the horses in Marsei!les
good enough for him, and NJ. Car
bonnet wrote to his stud groom at
Lyons, desiring him to send the
best horses he had by rail to Ayig-
non, whittier Prince Kallmaki would
SO to look at them. The Prince
went there accordingly, and after a
most severe inspection, selected sew
eral animals at high prices. On his
return to Marseilles he wrote tel
egra phic dispatch addressed to Ali
Pasha, Constantinople, stating the
number and the price ofthe horses
he had bought and desiring the
Pasha to remit funds Immediately
to pay for them. This dispatch was
taken to the telegraph Office by
one of the clerks of the hotel. On
the strength Of it the manager of
the hotel, anxious to secure the
custom of the Ka imaki family, not
only eontinuedwithout misgivings
to serve the Prince with the best
of every thing, but lent him four
thousand francs, for which lie had
occasion while the. remittance was
coming, Carbonne1, the horse
dealer, also placed his purse at the
disposition Of the Prince, and the
Prince was please to take as much
as fifteen hundred francs out Of it
for petty cash. The Prince, whose
luggage. as has been already said,
was not heavy, made larg additions
to; it before he. had been many days
in ,Marseilles, y His taste in dress
was aalt9gether sPrincely,;la a tailor

UNLAWFUL GOVERNMENTS,

Not rebel State has this day a lawful Government They are mere territories,
 conquered by our arms from the "Confed- crate States of America. "-THAD. STE klvENs.
 I Thad. Stevens is neither a statesman
 nor logician. 1.-the States characterized
 |as rebel, were conquered from the Con
 Moderate States of America, and constitu-
 tod government, it is illogical to main
 tain that they were, or are, in rebellion against the Government of the United States, as one government cannot owe or ksexact allegiance from another. Assuming
 the Confederate States Government to have been Government, its relation to the Federal Government is what that of Aus tria is to Prussia Prussia, after conquer Ting Austria, did not claim allegiance from |her. After detaining certain conquered Eterritory, the victor retired and lett the conquered government intact. Austria ] can recommence hostilitics without com hitting treason. It is the right of Il con
 quered Government al all times to do that < According to Stevens, whose doctrine af- lords this parallel, the Confederate States { of America are Ut liberty to renew the war. States do not owe allegiance to one another, and cannot commit treason. It is prin- ciple recognized by publicists, that the in stitutions of a conquered State remain, af- ] ter conquest, unless changed by the con quercr The close of the war found the Southern States with governments. To what extsnt they have been modified by fhen,selrcs, it is not necessary to discuss It is enough to say that the notifications were suggested and accepted by the con. queror His faith is pledged. And yet, for what substantial reason we are not told 1t is asserted by the leader of the dominant party of the country, that there are no le.
 gal State governments in the South. Ii
 he is right, they are either independent
 governments or usurpations, and may be
 oyerthrown by legitimate war. Is this
 the point aimed atg There is hardly q
 doubt of it If the Southern States have
 not lawful governments, is it not legitimate
 to suppress themg Certainly usurpations
 are not to be tolerated, and hence we per.
 ceive that preparations are in full blast fol
 their overthrow. The position of Stevens
 points to revolution, and the next session of Congress will determine the fate of the Southern States. A bill to reduce then

 ably pass. It will reverse our society, anC

RE-Two classes of people live in the Southern States-the old Conservative Southern citizens and the dirty Radi- calls There are one thousand of the former to one of the latter. It is evil dent, therefore, that with such an over whelming preponderance against radi calism ill the South, the veal or woe of the negroes depends upon the feeling which the Southern citizens may entcr- tain toward them. Hitherto that has been one of kindness, tingcd with no asperity. The white man has always manifested his superiority ;sbut it has not been an arrogant superiority. It is one which grows up with his nature {; which is instructive, and which the ne- gro never questions, and to which he never has objected, because he, too, has always felt, and still feels, this super i0rity to be natural. Rut the Radicals are arousing the worst passions of the negro, in madly teaching them that they are the equals of tho white man {: and still more, that the Southern white man is their enemy and the enemy of their race. Stevens and Sumner pro claim that at the North and their Bu- reau pimps take up the refrain in the South. Whether it be groundless or not, the South is beginning to feel that her political rights are denied her be- cause of the presence of the negro race, now free; and the negro is beginning to drink in the venom of the Radicals, and to believe that the native Southern white man is his foe, while the Yankee is his friend. All this can but aleniate the old feeling of kindness formerly existing between them and as we said m the outset of this article, when the Southern white shall cease to be the negro's friend, he will have none.
