 BRICK PoMERoY's EpITAPH.-Thc editor of the JaCr6ss Demoerat, says. that when Butler is dead and "gone to his brimstcHc diet" we will paint picture of two spoons Oh his tombstone and write underneath: 6 "Here rots in earth as roasts in hell the greatest disgrace America was ever cursed with, Ben. Brute Butlar,', the coward, traitor, thief. robbcr, and wonan nsulter, who, by his betrayals, thefts ana disregard of honor and manhood, worked on weak minded man to give linn a commission in an army that he might be protected in his robbcries When he spake, honest men doubted-when he commanded, brave men were murdered--when he was in power women wept and virtue failed to protcct-when lie ruled innocence suffered when he travelled people buttoned in their watches-when he dined, people eyed their spoons-when he passed churches the silver ware disappeared-when he died no one mourned the death of the brute and robbcr who came from no one knows where, as rotting carcass is left to purify bes de some clear stream

 How OUR HOSPITALITY IS RETURNED. I'he Richmond Times has the follow ing: Since their return from New Or leans, the Senatorial cxcurtionists have repealed the ''thirteenth section''- They have thus cut off theirmost prom inent retailers from all hopes of par d@n, and handed them over to the nfeT- cies @f the Underwoods and Busteeds. The indiHA and the Arab, when they have broken bread and tasted salt in the tent of an enemy, will not toma- hawk nor cruelty stab him beneath the fifth rib. But not So generous are Wade and his companions. They have virtually said to Gen. Beaslrcg@rd and their other unpardoned Southern hosts: We have swillcd your cham pagne, devoured your rich viands, rode free of charge over your railroads, per- mitted you to pay our hotel bill, and feasted upon the little which Sherman and Butler left you, and now, ill testi- mony' of our appreciation of your cour- tcsics, we repeal the section of a law upon which your hope of pardon hangs and hand you ever to the han gIdan and the executioner.' The ''molf1iy ing ef- fleets of the late excursion" do not promise to repay the Southern people for their kindness to these men. The Radical bRll-dog Wade, after surfeit of Southern ltiXnrjes, retuJ,ns compia- gently to his ''yoliiit,"

 GENERAL LEE.--'Marina;' story of Pope's campaign, thus alludes to Gcner- al Lee: The moonlight fell clearly upon his countcnancc of manly beauty, and revealed his powerful and erect form. Gallant, noble, glorious son of the Old Dominion Had Virginia no Washington, she would proudly rank thee as the noblcst and greatest of her illustrious sons. Second only to George Washington, and second only because the cause for which you fought was unfortunate, every southern heart applauds, rcyeres and loves you, and tens of thousands of N Northern tongues speak of you only to praise, while the foreign world gives to you the palm of untarnishcd glory, unspotted greatness of all who were great ahd noble and patriotic during that fearful strhggle."
 Ba~ A Washington correspondent says the late decision of the Supreme Court en the Test Oath, twill undoubt- edly influence the action of the Execu- tive to some practical extent, and we may confidently expect that the South will be relieved from the alternative of having either the few small civil offices there filled by itinerant Yankees, or be deprived of mail and other facilities altogether" "ai .fa .......
