The Speakers in Congress.

The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Post says:
After listening to the debates on the Civil Rights
bill confess was disappointed, and the more /
saw and heard of the men who control the legisla.
ton of Congress- the more became disgusted. -
Trumbull of Illinois, the champion of the radicals
Lagainst the veto, made what in any other place,
would be termed harangue. His voice is badly
nacked and pitched in high key, which finally
became painfully hoarse, and showed signs OF
breaking down He is earnest, but not graceful.
Ben. Wade and Jim Lane ranteas screamed and
beloved like two mad bulls, and raved like two
hyenast Doolittle appeared somewhat like Web
ster, and commenced very gracefully, interesting
and commanding all eyes end ears, but unfortu-
nately he drops down to commonplace style,
and becomes wearisome. Reverdy johnson conas
mences in about the style Doolittle ends, but
Reverdy Johnson warns up as he proceeds and
gradually works himself and his audience TO high
pitch of excitement, and his style becomes highly
ornate, his language hmpid easy, flowing, charms
and fascinates you until like the lamented Douglas,
you are enchanted by the little giant" Cowan,
IF Pennsylvania, the real giant of the Senate, has
voice like church organ, and although aNk.
ward he rivets your attention and uses very strong
and original illustrations to make his points"
and hits the nail on the head, as the saving is
He could be heard and seen in a crowd of hun.
dred thousand on Boston Common and would be
listened to attentively. His style is peculiar be-
ing compound of logic and classical rhetoric,
With rather dogmatic manner
Davis are both able and earnest debaters Stew
art, of Nevada, bids fair for leader Harris and
Morgan, of New York, create no sensation in de.
bate. Wilson and Sumner, you know all about
The latter has certainly very egotistica foppish
c0nceited way of attracting the attention Of the
galleries, as if he was playacto on the theatr-
cal stage, but his /" tricks " are too apparent As
to the House of Representatives, Thad. Stevens is
about the only conspicuous man, the rest of his
party being mere rank and file. Jack Rogers, Of
New jersey, however, makes as much noise us any
pody, and Is always ready to pitch in and have q
free fight with Stevens or any other radical He
and Stevens are the very opposite of each other in
everything.
Stevens is an old, lame, demure man, with O
great brown wig and irrascible temper. Jack Reg.
ers is gay, handsome jolly, jet black hnred
youth, of perhaps twenty-five or thirty, rather
fast in his habits and ultra in his politics. it is
said. The expulsion of Stockton, of New Jersey,
from the Senate, and Brooks, of New York, from
thc House, show that party spirit amounts to in
justice sometimes, although large number of the
Republicans show by their votes that they had not
lost all reason.
The hotels in Washington are abominable, dirty
and flty. If one-half the money yearly expended
in the lobby of the capitol was expended in build.
ing good hotel there, it might do some good.

Southern Honors to their Late Chief-The Mobile
Firemen's Celebration.

F1remen's Celebration.
A great deal of fuss has been made by the Rad.
icals about matter which is explained in the fol-
lowing editorial, which extract from the Mo-
bile Tribune of the 1st instant. The spirit aud
tone of this article are worthy of all praise:
In another column we publish article from
Loyal Feeling" The Observer is weekly rel-
gious paper, and is noted for keeping religious
opinions from temporary secular prejudice of the
day. It may, therefore, we suppose, be consid-
cred an honest paper, working diligently and con-
scientiousy for religious truth and political peace
The article has given us some pain, for reasons
which we shall mention. In the first place, it is
not true that the Mayor of Mobile, with the
appreciation of his fellow-citizens, pays public
honors to President Davis" If the Observer
should chance to find copy of the published pro-
ceedings of the meeting which it alludes to, it
will discover that Mayor Withers delivered no
toast at all: He responded, however, to a regular
toast, which is as follows
'The President of the United States-A just and
fearless Patriot, the friend of those who support
his policy, the opponent of those who oppose it"
| And his speech was in perfect and eloquent har.
mony with the toast. Does the Observer object to
that? Regard for President johnson as delivered
in the toast was responded to by the meeting with
general plaudits
The toast in reference to Mr.. Davis was given
by private citizen and in that we can see moth
ing that the most captious Radical could take Of
Tense at. It was couched in the most decorous
words, and amounted simply to what nineteen of
every twenty of the men of the Southern States
would subscribe to- That is it expressed sympa.
| thy for the pains that have been put our late
President and we have just enough of faith in
the manlipess of the North to believe that not
one-third of It's people would object to what was
delivered in that toast, which was follows
Jefferson Davis-Soldier r-Statesman-patrio
prisoner. Our tongues may be mute, but our
hearts are with him."
But this was the sentiment of private individ.
ual, and we shall inform the Observer that it
heartily responded to that given to President
Johnson. If treason can be found lurking some
where in this, all the humanity of the North must
have fed to the british beasts. We should be
ashamed to believe that the most earnest Union
man should be captious as to refuse us the poor
privilege of giving this small compliment to a sol-
dier, statesman and gentleman, who has suffered
for us SO much. If we were to forget that suffer
ing we should betray most humihating ingrati.
tude. If they who have subjugated US refuse us
this poor privilege, God help us, and more than
that, help them who deny it to us.

THE 10TH OF MAY, 1866.

Lines suggested by the address of Seaton Gales, Esq.,
to the Ladies of nalegh the anniversary of the death
of Stonewal Jackson: -..-
Oh shed not tear for the hero who died,
When the flag of his country flying,
But scatter with lilies and roses the grave
Where he slumbers in glory undying.
He knew not the sorrow the conquered must feel
The grief of fruitless endeavor,
The heart breaking pang when the struggle was Ger,
And that banner was folded forever! ...
Deep tears for the nation that conquered and ruined
Can Law DER its heroes, no tablets of stone,
Though it writes every on the true heart OF sooao,
Which feels that our soldiers are never unknown
Oh then, let us make fragrant ovation
In honor of Jackson the tenth of each May,
And with roses that bloomed as hero lay dying
Wreathe over the graves of his comrades that day;
That their memory, like spring time forever may be
Embalmed in the fragrance of flowers,
And their graves the hearts of children unborn
Be as dear as they now are to ours
TENELIA.

BY WALLACE GRUELLE.

BY WALLACE GRUELLE.
Fold tenderly that banner,
And gently lay it by,
AS we do the tear-wet garments
Of our loved ones when they die.
Is it treason now to mourn it?
If 80, we're traitors all,
For we cannot keep the tears back
That fast upon it fall.
We fought bravely to uphold it,
But now our valor was in vain
It is now our sad memento
Of our gallant brothers slain.
It's relic sad and holy,
OF past forever fled;
And you see in it symbol
Coffin of cause that's dead.
NJ more its folds shall flutter
In the wantOu Southern gale,
Where the cannon hOarsely mutter,
And the iron falls like hail.
Then fold it kindly, tenderly,
And gently lay it by,
AS We do the tear-wet garments
OF our loved ones when they die

THE CONQUERED FLAG.

Take that banner down. 'tis weary,
Round its staff It's dropping dreary;
Furl it, fold it, let it rest,
For there Is not man to wave it
For there is not a sword to lave it,
In the blood that heroes gave it;
And its foes scOrn and brave it
Furl it, hide it, let it rest.
Take that banner down, It's tattered,
Broken is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered
Over whom it fOated high.
Oh, It's hard for us to fold it,
Hard to think there's none to hold it
Hard, that those who once unroed it,
Now must furl it with sigh.
Furl that banner furl it sadly
Once, six millions hailed it gladly,
And ten thousand, wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave
Swore that fOemans sword should never,
Hearts like theirs entwined, dissever:
And that flag should float forever
Ger their freedom, or their grave.
And And the hearts m that fondy cfsspedd caspedd
Cold and dead, are lying low;
And that banner, it is trailing,
While around it sounds the waillnS
Of it's people in their woe.
For though conquered, they adore it
Leave the cold, dead hands that bore it;
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it
Oh how wildly they deplore it,
Now to fl1rl and fold it so.
Furl that banner, true, tits CORY,
But tits wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds in the dust
For its fame on brightest pages,
Sung by poets, penned by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
FurI it's folds, though now we must.
Furl that banner, softly slowly
Furl it gently, it is holy,
For it droops above the dead;
Touch it not, unfurl it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever,
For its peoples hopes are fed.
