Thank God for the sunshine of gadness again,
That goldens our Southland's blue morning;
Thank God for the surcase of sorrow and pain
That comes with the dawn of the morning.
ALI hail to the Bethlehem star that burns DER
The babe of sweet PEACE newly given,
Good Shepherds and wise men rejoice as Of yoro
And worship the young child from heaven
God bless the grand Hero who stands between
hate
And harm to this new born to earth
Who holds in allegiance the Herods OF State
Thank God that the SeUTH gave him birth
1t is not enough that my own sunny land
Was rihed of wealth and of bloom,
But tyrants would hold her with pitiless hand
Crushed, helpless and hopeless, in gloom.
1t was not enough that the prodigal son
Should say to his father, forgive,
But the brother must whimper and whine for the
one
Envied gift of the father-to i've
Thank God for the hand that hath broken the
chains
That fettered the suffering South
That showered the doe DER her desolate plains,
And ended the wars long drought!
All hail to the day-star that gladdens the earth,
With golden rays gliding the morrow
Thank God that the sweet sunny South gave him
birth,
Who givoth her surcease from sorrow

Release OF Admiral Scmmes.

II is announced that Admiral
Raphael Semmcs, late O.the Conted-
crate Navy, so-called, has been re-
leased, and thereupon tho Philadel'
phia Age remarks;
Scarcely any act of the President
reflects more credit upon his pru'
dence and sagacty, than his release,
from arrest, of Scmmcs, the late
commander ofthc Alabama. Under
the surrender Of Johnson's army no
was admitted to parole, and no mat
ter whether that was right orwrong,
until he violates it, the government
cannot honorably, nor justly, modest
him. His arrest and imprisonment
was cruel, outrageous, and we re.
joice that Andrew johnson has had
the courage to set this matter right,
in spite of the clamor which has
been raised upon the subject
We rejoice to chronicle the release
of Capt. Semmes, and we are cspe'
cially gratified at the sentiments eI-
pressed by this northern publica.
tion; and we should be glad to SEQ
the President extend the measure OF
clemency and release others who
have been imprisoned. We do not
think the temper or loyalty Of the
southern people will be eimproved by
imprisonment or hsnging.-Iich

NAVAL VICToRY OF THE CHfLEANs

NAVAL VICToRY OF THE CHfLEANs
OVER THE SPANIARDs.-The news
We published yesterday frym the
Pacific shows that the naval victory
Of Chile and her allies, on the 9TH Of
February, over the Spaniards, at
Abtao, was a much greater affair
than reported at first. The allied
squadron consisted of the Peruvian
frigate Apurimac, thirty guns, Com
mander Viller; Peruvian corvette
America, twelve guns, Commander
Fcrreyro; Peruvian corvette Union,
twelve guns, Commander Grau;
Chilean schooner Covadonga, three
guns, Commander Thompson-in
all mounting fifty seven guns. The
Spanish vessels were frigate
Blanca, thirty. six guns, Commander
Topete; frigate Villa dc Madrid,
fifty guns--in all eighty.six guns.
Commander Manuel Villar Com
manded the allied vessels The
Spanish vessels were Commanded
BY Juan Bautista Topete.
The engagement lasted two hours,
when the two Spanish iriga'es were
80 badly knocked about that they
hauled off and returned t, Nalparai-
so. 1t is quite evident that Spain
has got more on her hands in this
war than she expected TO have. The
allied South American republics are
proving too much for her. They
show great deal Of pluck and skill;
and it is worthy of notice that in the
official reports of naval officers we
see the names Of Williams and
Thompson as commanders. These
brave fellows try to make them
selves ~ much of South Americans
as possible by calling themselves
Juan Williams and Manuel }.
Thompson: but no one will see any
thing of the Latin race i'll Will
Jams or Thompson. We think we
can tell the stock these fellows came
from. Spain cannot land Il force 10
conquer or even to injure much the
allied republices. The warfare will
be on the water chiefly. The allies
are at home. and with small naval
force can give the Spaniards great
deal Of trouble. They will Lecome
stronger, too. in all probability, in
naval power, if the war should con-
tinue. Looking at all the circum-
stances, we are convinced that the
sooner Spain gets out Of the Difficult
ty and makes peace, the better for
both her finances and her honor
