SENATOR TRUMBuLI.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Evening
Post gives the following sketch of Senator
Trumbull:
Senator Lyman Trumbull, whose able
speech in defence of the Civil Rights Bill
attracted much attention here to-day. is a
native of Colchester, Conn.,, where he was
born in 1878. He removed to Illinois
while vet a young man; served in the leg
islature of that State in 1910, was Secreta-
nv of State in IS4l-2, and after attaining
an eminent position as a lawyer. became
Justice of the Supreme Court of the State
in ls4S, which place he held until 1853.
He was elected to Congress in 1854, and
served only one year in the House of Rep
resentatives. being chosen Senator in 1855.
Mr.. Trumbull is Democrat; he acted
with the Democratic party until the forma
ton of the Republican party. He was
brought forward for the United States Sem
ate in 1855, by the Free Democrats" as
they called themselves, acting in concert
with the old Wings, whose favorite and
candidate was Abraham Lincoln. Mr..
Lincoln voluntarily withdrew his name.
and persuaded his friends to support Judge
Trumbull, who was thus elected. The two
men were. we believe. always fast friends.
In the United States Senate Mr.. Trum-
bull was made chairman of the Judiciary
committee he was reelected to the SEN
ate in 1861, and is still chairman Of the
same committee.

Mary Moorland.

With jet black eyes, and coal black hair,
With cheeks so red, and round arms bare;
And teeth 20 white, and dimpied chin;
And bosom fair and pure within;
And small straw hat so loosely tied;
And ready basket at her side,
Quite full with berries. red and blue,
And heath buds of many hue;
And steps as light as any fairy

a'If you sweet girl, will 60 with mo,
My little serving maid to be;
Aud those soft notes you sweetlv sung,
Repeat them to my nursing young,
And leave the hills 80 bleak and wild,
To watch and tend my darling child,
To cherish her fondly love,
And tender, true and fs;thfuil prove.
And Ger her infant steps, be wary,
I'll trust you Moorland Mary"
30, lady! listen to my talo.
And let MY simple words prevail
My mothers old, she's old and poor,
And scarce can totter to the door;
And me she loves, her only joy
She has no other girl or boy;
AM while she lives, with her III stay,
But think Of you when far away;
She says the grave will rest the weary,
And then Illbe your Moorland Mary"

the kind ever published, and we feel warrant
ed in saying that every reading man o., ,fami-
ly will give it preference to any wall or,mount-
ed map or other Atlas3nowl offered TO thopub7
lie. In wall map you get at most but map
of North America or the United States, and
on a scale too small for minute referen nce 4.
but in this; work you have one thpndEed and
three pages Of the fnest, plainest and mos'
accurate steel plate maps, representing every
country, state, county townships, &c. &C., in
the world, besides d vast amount Of the choic
estreading matter, embracing among other
subjects complete Biographical Indexa"S a
treatise on Phisical and Descriptive rGeogrn-
ply, Chronological Historyof the Rebellion
Indeed Johnson S Atlas has no rival either in
point Of excellency or reasonableness ofprice

place, and we trust the reading people Of the

The Knoxville Commercial says: Accord
ing to the best estimates we can nov make,
there is in the Northern States 4, 500. 600
voters. According to the vote Of those
States, the Radical vote Is about $500, 900;
the Conservative is about 1900 600.
We will now refer to the situation in the
Southern States.
There is in the Southern tates at this
time at least / 800, 900 Conservative voters.
In the whole thIrty-six States the Con
servatives have 100000; the Radicals
have 2 500, 900.
Now look at the representation. The
Conservatives of 3, 800, 900 have only 81
members of Congress-, yet the Radicals OF
G, 5000 have 2l6 members of Congress.
This condition of things has been brought
about by Congress refusing the Southern
States representation.
And still this minority party are talking
of Constitutional Amendments and of de-
posing the President of the United States
