doubt of his full intention to make

Even those who hoped against hope,
that the President surely meant right

the acorns oftheir own selfish purposes,

with those who hoped to destroy our
Government and worked to secure that
result "with a zeal worthy of a better

Mr.. Johnson has turned fairly and
squarely against his former correct

among that class whose perversity
or prejudice blinds them to the truth.

put forward the name of Hon. r. w.

cognizant of some acts in his unofficia

voter in the Sixth District to give hin

ly recommended the peuured Traitor,
John G. Breckenridge, as U. S. Sena-
tor from Ky. This is the way these
Democrats would 'reconstruct," by
exalting to power the most recreant
criminals in the land. Such Is the
class Of men whom "My Policy" as
adopted and carried into execution by
the Democratic party, would place in
power in every department Of the
Government, to legislate for the Wild
ows and orphans of Union soldiers,
and all the far-reaching interests Of a
great nation;-to lord it over those
gallant men and their children whom
they could not defeat in battle.
The same political doctrines would
be taught and practised upon, the
principles upon which the rebellion
was justified would survive unhurt the
tremendous shock of civil war. Davis
has not changed-Leeh has not changed, +,
nor Stephens of Georgia; the blood
stained Breckenridge is still the same.

THE NATIONS DEAD.


-Four hundred thousand men,
The brSvo-tbe good-tbs true,
In tangled wood, in mountain glen,
On battle plain, in prison pen,
Lie dead for mo aud you
-Four hundred Thousand Of the brave
Have made our ransomed soil their grave,
For me and you
Good friend, for me and you'll
In many fevcred swamp,
BY many black bayou,
In many a cold and frozen camp,
The weary sentinel ceased his tramp,
And died for me and you'll
From Western plain to ocean tide
Are stretched the graves OF those who died,
For me and you'll
Good friend, for me and you'll
On many bloody plain
Their ready sword they drew,
And poured their life blood, like the rain,
A home-a heritage to gaID,
To gain for me and you
Our brothers mustered by our side,
They marched, and fought, and bravely died,
For me and you'll
Good friend, for me and you'll
Up many fortress wall
They charged-those boys In blue
Mid surs ing smoke, and volleyed ball
The bravest were the first to fall
To fall for me and you
Those noble men-the nations pride
-Four hundred thousand men have died,
For me and you'll
Good friend, for me and you
In treason's prison hold,
Their martyr spirits grew
To stature like the saints Of old,
While, amid agonies untold,
They starved for me and you
The good, the patient, and the tried,
-Four hundred thousand men have died
For me and you
Good friend, for me and you
A debt we ne'er can pay
To them Is justly due,
And to the Nations latest day
Our children's children still may say,
"They died for me aud you I"
Four hundred thousand Of the brave
Made this our ransomed soil their grave
For me and you
Good friend, for me and you

Letter from Washington City.
WASHINGTON, August 20, 1866

WASHINGTON, August 20, 1866.
DEAR NEws:-With the close of
Congress has come the dull season at
Washington. The streets which few
weeks since were filled with busy,
hurrying throngs, now present almost
a deserted appearance. Even Penn
sylvania Avenue, usually the busiest
and most fashionable thoroughfare in
the city, seems to have relapsed into
an unnatural quiet, presenting its usual
look of life and hurry only at the hours
of opening and closing the various De-
partments, by the tread of the thOus-
ands of clerks employed therein. All
who can consult their own comfort and
inclinations seem to have shaken the
dust of Washington from their feet and
departed-the non-residents to their
homes, and the others perhaps to rus
ticate far from the turmoil of the ma
TONS capital, where the milk comes
fromthe cows, and city cares can be
forgotten in rural quiet for a few short
weeks. @ U fiH H.I "1 ..

Heavy rains have fallen steadily, and
dull, leaden clouds, grey mists and fog
have hung over us for days. Some

~ The New York Citizen walks
into the corrupt city government with
pvigor that has never before been
equaled, and which is making itself
felt. 1t gives the following cheerful
picture of the state of things in the
great metropolis I:
1--WE are ruled out of the cutters /;
we are dominated by the sewers of this
metropolis. Our local representatives
are for the most part a scum--a beetle
proved and brawny banditti, as ignoq
rant as they are base, and not less dis
honest than shameless-such as no de-
cent citizen would willingly admit to
the familiarity Of his stables"

Hon. LANDoN G. HAYNES ON THE
STTUATIoN.-L. C. Haynes, formerly
of the Confederate Senate from East
Tennessee, recently made a speech in
Memphis, in which he said:
IF / ever INDUCED ambition for
public honors, it is now gone forever !;
and if allowed to ride, propose to my
self hereafter to take back seat, and
never more attempt to grasp the reins.
/ now think that after all which has
transpired in the late struggle for the
late Confederates of the South, that
private stations are posts of honor
Deprived of the rights of suffrage, and
interdicted the privilege of holding
official stations by test oaths, framed
by those whom they have no power to
challenge as jurors, or except to al
judges, let them devote their powers
to the industrial and professional pur-
suits their reason to the study o.
philosophy their intellects to the ac-
QUESTION of learning and the cultiva
ton of literature; their industry tc
the adornment of their beautiful and
sunny homes; their solicitude to the
education of their lovely children
their decency and dignity to refinement
of social life; their hearts to the silent
graces of the unobtrusive virtues !;
their splendid benevolence to the grand
purposes of Christian charity; and
their allegiance to their country and
their God"

~ A savage fight took place at
Huntsville, Ala, on a recent Sunday.
while a number of freedmen were be-
ing baptised in spring. 1t arose from
some soldiers, on duty in the place,
pushing one of the spectators into the
water. This, of course, aroused the
anger Of the person thus assaulted, and
his friends joined in with him. Vol
leys of stones were exchanged Cor
some minutes, when the soldiers, who
were overpowered by numbers, were
compelled to beat retreat. While
the battle was raging, many of the wo-
men and children ran off in fright, but
the baptising was carried on during the
whole affair without interruption.

The Round Table, literary weekly
published in New York, has an article
headed 1.-THE Duties of Peace" The
editor says
1.-THE people of the South are our
brothers, bone Of our bone and flesh of
our flesh. They have courage, integ-
rity, honor, patriotism, and all the
manly virtues, as we'll as ourselves.
1t was the good Providence of the case
that We were more numerous and had
greater resources than they. and so, in
the orderings of infinite wisdom, we
beat them-conquered them. From
our standpoint we considerit a great
thing for the whole human family that
we did so but we must not be phari-
saical aboat it. Slavery, which pro-
voked the war, was as mnch our sin as
theirs. Our Federal Constitution pro-
tected it. our two great political Or
CARNATIONS supported it, ard New
York city, by its vast majorities, large
ly sympathised with it. We did not
fight for it, and they did, simply be-
cause they owned the negroes and we
did not. Having, then, had a war
about a difference of opinion-which
is the pithy explanation of most fami-
ly qarrels-and the strongest having
come off victorious-which certainly
is not a miracle-are we as equal to
win the victories of peace and to re-
alize that our duty now is to heal, not
to punish !
1--WE should give the South a full and
equal share in all the blessings flowing
from the Federal government. Her
manufactures should have as ample
protection as those of the North, her
commerce with equal advantage ad-
yantages with our own, her industry
the like encouragement, her children
ample means of education, the person
al rights of her inhabitants the steady,
omnipresent, and inhexible protection
of laws founded in justice and admins
tered without Partially. Let Northern
capital develop her vast mineral and
agricultural resources and build mp
her waste places let intersectional
commerce be re-established. Let cot
ton again take its place among the
powers of the earth--it will be free
cotton now, not slave, and can there
fore no longer aspire to be king. In g
word, let the era of blood be followed
by another era of good feeling.''
