From the New York Watclman,
THE BOYS IN THE GRAY.

When the sweet bells of liberty loudly were pealing
Calling every true heart to the frav
Then poured forth from mountain valley and cifv
Those dear SOuthf rn boys in the gray.
With hearts strong beating with banners proudly ng
They formed in stern battle array;
Resolved to defend the dear birthTight of freemen,
Those brave Southern boys in the gray
Before them they the proud foeman advancing,
rff1ehlnd them lay bathed III the light
'H 1 tars OF home, heaped high with the treasures
,,11 VI 1e1'etttything preciops and blight.

. IA? l?se . ai.aIS hi "eere all their hopes lay?
go ~ nj ~ "e d ese arms stem the swift torrent"
oieo 'no ue"i ooutHern boys in the gray.
Swift they moved like the red field of slaugh
The foe quvered and quaiIed at the sight
On that grandest of days when MANAssAS was written
In letters that glowed With the light
And Northern cheeks pale and arms fell ddspa;uAo
Andrbue-coa rushed ewift from the fray "'
IND the bells Of the South peae long merry chor1s
'Hurrah for our boys in the gray
Oh then, by the memory of vctorys proud morning
By the glow Of that one lustrOus day
Ven weave our bright chaptts, the turf adorning,

They fought and they fell-cAl traitor, wretch,
But tell you proud focmen to-day,
The whole heat Of the South beats proudly beats fondy
When it thinks OF those boys i'll the tray.
Nh yes, by that brother who bears in his bosom
That death-deaing bullet you sent
Whose blood freely shed for Justice for country,
Poured out like pure sacrament;
by all our brave BROTH and fathers and kinsmen,
Who fought, bed died III the fra,
You NAV crush and us, Lut memory will tondly

Then bring the rich flowers from hill ide and valley
.And palsled the lips that say Nay:"
The cOwardly wretch who would rob of their homage
The dead Southern boys in the gray.
Bring flowers the rarest, the fairest, the sweetest
We only weep oer them and pray;
Oh these howercrOwne mounds-s all that is left US
OF those dear southern boys i'll tn gray.

From WashinSton-The Internal Revenue Law
Stamps for Beer Barrels-General Sherman
Discovers that Lrs q Man says In WASH
ington the Better, Etc.
WASHINGTON, August 1.-The printing bureau
of the Treasury Department is now printing ten
millions of stamps OF different denominations for
beer barrels, as required by recently passed law.
It is supposed that this provision will materially
prevent frauds on internal revenue.
Although many members of Congress voted
against the increase of their salaries, it is pretty
well established that every one of them has drawn
the extra pay.
The compilation Of the new internal revenue
law with the revision of the laws of like charac-
ter passed since July, 1861, has been completed at
the Office of the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., and is now in the hands of the public print
| er It is expected that the Commissioner will be
able to commence the distribution of copies to-
morrow, I'd instant, or the day after Cotton and
spirits turpentine shipped from the South in bond
under the Treasury regulations of October 9th,
1865, subject to the old rules OF tax.
Lieutenant General Sherman was complimented
tonight with a serenade by the Twelfth infantry
band. He made brief response to the call of the
crowd, remarking that he had nothing to say ex-
cepting that his home was at St. Louis, where he
would be glad to see those before him, or on the
plains, where he intended to 60. He stran-
ger here and thought the less man said in Wash
ington the better, and as he was his own best
friend, he would add no more than to express his
thanks for the honor conferred upon him on this
toccasion.
| A large meeting was held at Growers Theatre
tonight by the friends q Ireland, to defend the
restoration policy of the President, and to vindi-
date the recent enforcement of the neutrality laws
This meeting was an Offset to the lately held
at the fair building, which was anti-Admlnlstra-

Desire OF the People for Military Govern

WAsH1NGToN, July 81, 1866.-The statement tel
egraphed from New Orleans to the Tribune that
over two hundred persons were killed in the re-
cent riot in that city is absurd fiction, doubt
less concocted for political effect. The President
has received full official accounts of the distur
bance, which are corroborated by dispatches re-
ceived by gentlemen from New Orleans now in the
city. These accounts agree that but two white
men-Dr. A. P. Dostie and John Henderson, Jr
were killed Governor Hahn and Mr.. Shaw,
member of the Convention, were wounded, the
latter severely, and may not live. child was al
so killed accidently. Twenty negroes is the out
side number reported killed.
The origin of the disturbance dates back to the
meetings of the Reconstruction Committee of Con-
gress last spring, and will be fully exposed in a
short time. The immediate outbreak was caused
by the overbearing conduct of the miscellaneous
ly armed negroes called ont by Governor Wells as
a military guard for the Convention.
Colonel Dostie positively denies having sent
any such despatch to New Orleans as is attributed
to him but on the contrary, in conjunction with
Mr.: King, of the New Orleans. Times and acting
under the advice of the President repeatedly anu
urgently telegraphed from here, urging the peo-
pie i'll particular to interfere with the assem-
bling Of the Convention The President has vir
tually, deposed Governor Wells by directing Hon.
Andrew J. Heron, Attorney General of Louisia-
IA, to preserve the peace and take all necessary
steps to put down all revolutionary proceedings
against the existing State government and order
ing the military forces of the United States to
render him all needed assistance.
The citizens of Louisiana have very numerously
pettoned the President fora restoration of the pro
visional government the establishment of
military government, and propose the name of
General Gordon Granger for Military Governor.
The re-assembling of the Convention was op-
posed by Thomas J. Durant, one of the leading
and most influential Union men in New Orleans
and radical. The more respectable body of
Union people opposed the meeting.
