STEP BY STEP. s
BY DIR. j. G. HOLLAND.

Heaven is not reached by single bound,
But we built the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies,
And we mount to its summit round by round
Icount these things to be grandly true,
That noble deed is step toward God
Lifting the soul from the common sod
To purer air and broader view.
We rise by the things that are under our feet,
By what we have mastered in greed and
gain,
By the pride deposed and the passion slain,
And the vanquished i'll we hourly meet.
We hope, we resolve, we aspire, we trust,
when the morning calls to life and light;
But our hearts grow weary, and ere the
night
Our lives are trailing in the sordid dust
Wings for the angels, but feet for the men,.
We must borrow the wings to find the
way
We may hope and resolve, and aspire and
pray,
But our feet must rise or we fall again.
Only in dreams is the ladder thrown
From the weary earth to the sapphire wall;
But the dreams depart and the visions fall,
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow OF stone.
Heaven is not reached at single bound;
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the IoSly earth to the vaulted skies,
And we mount to its summit round by round.

THEY DIE HARD.--It is amusing to see the
manner in which different Conservative
journals display their spleen at the recent
Republican victory in this State. The fact
that a majority of the Republican delegates
were elected by white votes is a CALLING re-
buke to the disloyal press which attempted
to injure the Republican party Ivy stigma
tizlng it as negro party. Fortunately for
the party OF human rights, these prophets
are well known in their. own land Their
weapons of lies. misrepresentation and in
tolerance are played out. People will no
longer follow the man who can call the hard.
est names and use the strongest bilIingsgate.
There will be no more taring and feathering,
whipping, tortunng and hanging for opin-
ions sake in country where the partysof
free speech, free press and free thought has
a majority vote. Gentlemen of the pro-
slavery, press may call the !. Republican del
egates, negroes, beasts. spnon-t thieves, inisceg-
enes &c, (all of these terms are used by ex-
changes in our last maiI) in short they may,
and we hope they will, satiate their .malign-
ancy, and bitter disappointment by the strong
use of strong adjectives and no Republican
will feel the least concerned The attempt
to control, intimidate or lead by vituperation
devoid ofreasnn, argument or principle, is
an insult to any man or woman, white or
black. who lays the least claim to all intel--
lectual capacity 3sS
ioany calm observer the raneor, spite and
malice Of our Conservative opponents is but
the evidence of their political death. g sfs7

STExgNS' MILITARY HILL WHAT
~ gNFIICTS UPON THE SOUTH
FEN PEOPLE


From the National Intelligcncer.
The blaclest record ever made by an as
sepbly Of the Representatives Of free peo-
ple stained Yesterday the proceedings of
the House Of Representatives. Never, in
the most tyrannons hour Of the Long Par
lament misrlle; never, amid the utmost
snhseryience 10 the royal mandate Of an
English king; never, in the most blood
thirsty epoch Of a French convention, did
the representatives Of the. people stamp
themselves with greater ignOminy. The
hill, which passed by a vote Of 100 to IS,
hands one-third Of the people Of this conn
try over TO military government. For the
rule Of law, it substitutes the will of an
officer. For the tribunal Of judge, Il fur
nishes a drumhead eOurt-martial or 4 mil
itary commission. For the process of a
court and the peaceful visit Of a sheriff, il
prOfers the order of petty satrap and the
presence Of a squad Of bay0nets. 1t ignores
the Chief Magistrate Of The United States.
II Invests a General with absolute power
over one-third Of his cOuntrymen. 1t erects
subordinate dictators, armed with unbridled
power, from the Potomac 20 the Rio Grande.
Throughout this broad domain, compris-
ing the fairest and most fertile section OF
the republic, no man is 10 have a secure
title 10 his property no mans house Is
free from search no mans chattles exempt
from seizure; no mans liberty uneXposed
10 assault no mans life safe from peril.
An army officer, soldier, exalted above
the law, may ruthlessly invade a citizens
home, and drag him from the boscm Of his
family. Such a bin makes a mockery Of
free Institutions. 1t despites all the great
est safeguards Of popular liberty. Ii tram
pies on the freedom Of the press. il an
initiates the right Of free assemblage. IL
silences the lips Of free speech. 1t in-
fringes The right Of the people TO bear arms.
It wipes out the guaranty Of a grand Jury
presentment. Il abolishes the exemption
of freedom from seizure and from search.
Itabrogates the right Of a trial by q jury Of
ones peers in the vicinage Of the commits
sion Of the alleged ofense 1t tramples
upon the prerogatiye Of the President il
makes war upon the constitution, il rebels
against the authority Of the Supreme Court.
II inyades the sacred constitutional rights
of the citizen. II is treason enveloped in
the forms Of law. Il Is rebellion wearing
the garb Of Legitimate power. II is uRu-
patton assuming the Hanctity Of constitu-
tiunal enactment.

WHO ever heard of free press flourish
ing under the deadly shadow of the hayo-
net Il sinks under its arbitrary rule like
shackled freedman under a sunless
dungeon. There is no freedom where
there is no discussion, and there can be no
discussion when a Colonel's nod or a Lieu

Tine Operations and Success of Three
companies in North Alabama.
From the Memphis Appeal.
We are indebted 10 reliable gentle
man. who has lately returned from the oil
district near CORTLAND, Ala, for inlorma-
ton in regard TO the operations and prob
able success of the oil borersin that vicinity.
II appears that for some time past, a num-
her OF companies have been engaged in the
region Of Courtland, boring for oil. Lands
ON Town creek, Big Nance and other
streams. were secured last spring and
arrangements made for operating. Three
companies are actively at work, and one Of
them the West Tennessee Oil and Manu-
featuring Company, organized IN Memphis,
succeeded in actually striking OIL about two
weeks ago. At a depth Of two hundred and
thirtv-eight feet. The well is on Crooked
creek. tributary Of Big Nance, and about
six miles from this place. The news Of the
striking Of oil spread rapidly, and created
considerable excitement The quantity Of
oil obtained conld not he ascertained ex-
cept by pumping, bat sufficient made its APP
pearance on the surface Of thswater brought
up hy the sand pump to place beyond doubt
the fact that petroleum. exists IN quantities

by experienced persons to be greater than

MIA, which, after pumping SO as TO exhaust

oil Der day The company commenced
preparations for tubing and pumping the

an saturday again struck oil, this time at
the depth Of two hundred and eighty-three
feet These strikes, too, indicate the eX-
i4tenee of petroleum in considerable guam
THY, and parties interested in Oil enter
pris,s in this region are elated with the
prospects. The well is now being tubed,
and pumping will be commenced in few
DAYS. The result will he awaited with
great interest, as the success Of this well
would give a new impetus TO petroleum
operations IN this vicinity. The Alabama
and Mississippi company has we'll about
one and half miles from the above. They
had reached a depth Of over three hundred
feet, when one Of the boring tools broke off
in the we'll and has not yet been extricated.
The indications were favorable The same
company is boring another well near the
Tennessee river. A New York company
is operating on the farm Of Thos. X. Har-
RE. Esq., about ten miles from here, and
has penetrated TO depth of about -four
hundred and fifty feet. The prospects
there are also considered highly favorable.

believing we enjoy unusual facilities for serving
them. These claims will be examined first by
the Board, but final action can only be taken by
the proper Department at ashlngton;
Our purpose is to attend personally before the
