H0ruests on Historic Fields,

Three years ago the battles breath
Swept fiery hot across the plain;
And steadily the reaper Death.
With cruel carnage in his train.
Marched through the serried ranks that
Cnwavering, and cut them down:
While field and farm, and hill and wood
Grew dark beneath the battles frown
The cannon thundered in their wrath.
The muSket rang with volleys there;
The loud shell cut its trackless path.
And burst with fury in the air;
And thickly by the trodden way,
In dyke and field, by level rows
OF trampled corn, Deaths harvest lay
Friend close by friend and foe with foes.
To-day another harvest stands
Where once Death trod the bleeding
plain,
Ripe for the reaper's ready hands
That bind in sheaves the golden grain.
Afar the sheltered farm house sleeps.
EmbOwered in shade; while DER the
mound.
With plying growth the wild vine creeps,
Where rifles rang with deadly sound.
Up from her covert starts the quail,
As chancing on her hidden nest.
The farmer lad. with noisy hail
Spies quick as thought the speckled
breast.
And low and sweet the echoes call:
While from the blue sky overhead,
In mellow radiance flooding all.
The golden light of peace is shed.

Prophetic WGrning by Mr.. Sum-
nPp.

The incidents of the past week. start
ling as they are, we have every reason to
believe, are but the beginning OF series
OF the most atrocious usurpations of
Executive power that can be conceived
OF in the interest of the Presidents re-
dictionary policy. His desperation has
at last assumed an air of boldness, and
he must play his game out, win or lose.
The exl lgencies of the situation would
appal any man whose heart was not al
ready corrupted 10y treason; but the
President has no longer any sensibllity
upon the subject of patriotism, feeling
well assured that the farther he goes in
his recusancy the more he will commend
himself to the traitors whose friendship
he seeks. Events travel SO rapidly that
we sometimes lose sight of the most i'm
portant declarations and appreciative out
glvlngs of our senator and representatives
in a few weeks. We regretted the an
nounced purpose of Congress, at its late
session, to resign SO speedily, and we
now recur to the prophetic warning Of
Senator Sumner against leaving the coun-
try In the Presidents hands.
Mr.. Sumner. On that question |

speak frankly. | cannot help it. How
Congress, after listening to the message
of to-day, which is only the logical con-
sequence OF other messages, can quietly
vote to 90 home and leave this post OF
duty until next winter, passes my un-
derstandins. To me it is Incompetent
sible. The message from beginning to
end was of defiance 1t is needless to
quote its precise language Its defiant
tone still fills the chamber, and will soon
fill the whole country. As listened TO

yive the dying rebellion. | icl. that one
of two things must be done its author

Such is the alternative. One failing, the

TIE NEGRO AS a CITIZEN-M Mr..
Swinton of the New York Times. who
has recently travelled over great part
of the South, makes the following inter-
esting statements, after having spoken
of the negroes as successful free iaborers ::
''Then there came that severer test TO
the nogro-he was made citizen. This
was a measure the wisdom of which was
gravely doubted by the majority, even of
those who really wished well TO the col
ored man. | confess that when | wen;
South | believed the enfranchisement of
the blacks would prove mistake but
very soon perceived that it was at
least necessity And, indeed, | have
seen no fairminded Southerner who does
not admit that when the negro was de-
prived of the protection of his master ii
was absolutely necessary he should have
that other protection which comes from
the possession OF political rights. But
here again pleasant surprise met US.
To justify the faith reposed in him, the
colored man began eagerly to fit himself
by education for citizenship. The pro-
gress in this regard has been most aston
isbing. Not only are the children being
taught, but adults show passionate hun
ger for learning and if an educationa
qualification had been required for vot
ing, believe that before the next election
there would hardly have been a blacl
: man in the South that would not hav
been able to read and write. Imust ad,
that equally gratifying has been the i'm
: provement in morals-in honesty, truth
: fulness and chastity.
1t is hardly necessary to say that tn
blacks are politically radical to man
, If there was at one time a notion on tn
z part of the white Conservatives tha
they would be able to control the negr
S vote, this has completely vanished. ii

Albert was quite as much surprised as
oyerjoyed at his good fortune, and his
surprise was in no way diminished when
the merchant said:
"lour conduct on the ice last week
procured the situation | saw more than
you supposed. You were sorely tempt
ed, but you nobly resisted and have
no doubt of your ability TO conquer all
the difficulties of life, and carve out a
glorious future for he that overcometh
evil in his own heart, Is nobler than 4

bert's temptations, bravely conquered,
