The clay and spirit part,
There's something to be wished for still
BY every human heart,
To him an earnest longing came
To see his fathers face,
To see what changes time had wrought
Upon his land and race.
But when unto the lady fair
He said he wished while
To leave the splendor of her realm,
The sunshine of her smile,
She answered: "Since your home you saw,
Have many ages flown,
And of your castle wall there stands
Not one foundation stone;
Your fathers bones have long been dust,
Ger which the rank grass waves,
Your land, once mighty, proud and free,
Is now a land of slaves.
Through glorious eras has she passed
Since last you saw her plains
Where once the Druid temples stood,
Are holier shrines and fanes.
Light from brighter world than ours
Upon her brow was poured
A mighty One, who conquered death,
Has long been there adored.
That light still Shines but shines on woe;
Then leave us not, for here
A year is as single day,
And centuries year.
Had you remained on earth, long since
The weeds had DER you grown;
If you return, mortality
Will surely claim its own"
"Still," Ossian said, "green Eireland
My eyes once more must see,
Then I'll return, my Beautiful,
For aye to dwell with thee"
With saddened eyes the lady said,
&C fear no more we'll meet;
Yet, take again the snowy steed
So powerful and fleet
But never from his back dismount,
Step not on mortal shore,
Or to our bright, enchanted world
You can return no more"
Once more the courser feels the reign,
Once more on earth they stand;
But all is strange, the rider cries:
"Can this be Eireland ?"
Beside the lofty pillar towers
He saw symbol odd
A shining cross that seemed to point
Unto an unknown God;
Yet ancient look those temples strange,
And crumbling to decay,
AS if they stood as monuments
Of some departed day.
The people, too, seemed dwarfed and bowed
Oppressed by countless ills
Nought was the same in Fire, save
Her proud eternal hills.
With wondering awe did Ossian ride
Along the dreary road;
At last he saw an aged man
Bent meath heavy load.
He sprang to aid him, when away
Through air with birdlike speed,
AS seagull Ger the ocean spray,
Swift flew his snowy steed.
A sudden tremor shook his frame,
A moment since so strong,
And helpless sunk he to the ground,
With gray hair streaming long
DER shriveled cheeks and shoulders bowed
A thousand years beneath.

Written for The Irish Rt
The Land of Youth-A Legend.
BY UNA.
Long ages since, ere cleaned the Cross
On Erin's golden wales,
Ere on her seas the plundering Dane
Had set his venturous sails,
Young Ossian, Fionns giant son,
One summer evening strayed
Alone from out his fathers halls
By meadow, stream and glade.
A shield of silver, broad and bright,
In space the full moon hung,
And DER the earth gauzy vail
Of softest radiance flung;
When, just where blended light and shade
Beside gloomy wood,
A snow-white steed with flowing name
In Ossian's pathway stood.
Without thought, the fearless youth
Upon the courser sprang,
Der hill and dale as swift as hail
Away the fleet hoofs rang.
Away they crashed Ger pebbly beach,
They splashed through rushing wave,
They scaled the mountains rugged steep,
They leaped the yawning cave.
AS sweeps the swallow through the air,
They swept DER mount and plain,
A winged creature seemed the horse,
Still Ossian held the name.
Through tangled branches next they tore,
In haste he shut his eyes,
Another moment and they stopped,
He stared in wild surprise
Beneath lofty gilded dome,
Where lights immortal shone
A crowd of knights and ladies fair
Were gathered round throne,
On which a regal maiden sat,
Whose smile was bright as truth.
"Thou'rt welcome to our land" she said,
"The land of endless youth"
He looked around him-every face
Seemed noble, young and fair,
No trace of sorrow, toll or age
Could be discovered there;
The radiant queen bent gently down
Her brow of stately pride,
And motioned him to take the place
Then vacant at her side.
Bright scenes of gorgeous beauty met
His splendor- dazzled sight.
Ten thousand polished columns raised
Their shafts of purest white
A marble forest, round whose trunks
Trailed vines of living gold,
Whence luscious fruits of every cline
In ripe profusion rolled,
While over all rosy light
Flung out a FURNISHED glow,
Like northern sunsets crimson, poured
On mountain peaks of snow;
And far beyond stretched broad parterres,
And bowers of bright bloom;
Nought seemed to know decay or death
Or shadow of the tomb.
He thought of his forsaken home,
But distant far it lay
The lady's smile his heart had won,
How could he choose but stay?
The bright days flew on wings of light
That land of beauty Ger,
But Ossian still was mortal, though
On an immortal shore.

A " Secession, Senator.

| A friend has called our attention to the
fact that the Hon. M. E. Manly, recently cleo
ted by the Legislature of this State Sena-
tor to the Congress of the United States
over Hon. John Pool, voted in the Conven-
ton of this State in October, 1865 against
the ordinance declaring null and void the
ordinance of secession of May goth, 1861
We were aware of this fact before, but we
thank our friend for calling our attention
to it.
The vote may be found on page "A of the
One hundred and five members, including
Hon. John Pool, voted to declare secession
null and void, and nine members, including
Hon. NJ. E. Manly, voted in the negative
That is he refused to declare that the State
did not act properly in attempting to secede
in 1861, but he insisted by his vote above
referred to- that secession acas right.
Mr.. Manly and his friends professed then,
as they do still, that they are the only real
friends the President has in this State. But
how did Mr.. Manly show this friendship?-
1t is notorious that the President regarded
it as indispensable in his work of restora-
ton, that the ordinances of secession passed
by the Southern States should be declared
null and void. lie would have said, if APP
pealed TO at the time Mr.. Manly gave this
vote, as he will say now, that the man who
says those acts of secession are not null and
void, is a traitor, and unworthy the conf
dence of any one North or South. And yet
Mr.. Pool, who voted like true Union man
against secession, was defeated for the Sen
ate by Judge Manly, who voted in the Con-
vention for secession. This is the way in
which the President is sustained by the Sc
cessionists in this State.
The two Senators elect from this State
(Mr POOLS term will expire on the 4th of
March neXt,) are NJ. E. Manly and William
A Graham. The first, as we have shown, is
on record as a secessionist, and the latter is
what is called an ':unpardoned rebel" If
President johnson himself thought Mr. Ora
ham a suitable person to sit in the federal
Senate, he would certainly pardon him. But
thus far he has declined to do so, though he
has been repeatedly appealed to by Mr..
Graham and Others. This is pretty presen-
tation for this State to make to Congress as
byal State, A secessionist and an un-
pardoned rebel" are offered as Senators, and
because they are not received the Congress is
denounced as mean and despotlc, and the
people are told that the Northern people
want to degrade the South The State will
never get back to the Union, and it ought
not to get back, as long as such persons are
put forward as her representatives. There
must be radical change of organization
and of front before the State will be restored.
We are glad of it. The reign of secession
lists and of "unpardoned reb Is" is over
They have had their day, and a desperate
and bloody one it has been to us all.

tuouss rooms, and boarded at four to FIVE
dollars each per day while the poor soldier
who comes to Raleigh to get his leg is re-
quired to bring his rations, to support him
self while he is here. to lodge in an old neg
lected school house in public square, and
to sleep on beds, or pads, or apologies for
mattresses, which Gov. Worth and his adhe
rents would not have furnished their slaves
with in former days. Oh hypocrisy hy
pocrisy
The Sentinel is "happy' to inform us that
Hon. Bedford Brown has consented to serve
on this mission, and is now in Washington.
We do not know when we have recorded any
ordinary political event with more regret
1t is sad spectacle to see such man, with
so noble record, associated with political
leaders who have destroyed, and who refuse
to take the necessary steps to restore their
country. If Gen. Jackson were on the stage
of action, and had the power, he would be
for treason than ne would be to associate
with them politically. But Gen. Jackson
rests in his honored grave. He never desert,
ed friend, nor gave back before an enemy.
Traitors and treason found no favor in his
sight. If his mantle fell when he assembled,
we have yet to see the man who wears it.

ton to be slain in battle, or to perish by was
ting diseases in hospital or camp. That was
what the memorial asked-nothing more
and nothing less. All the signers were white
persons, and the prayer of the petition was
as above stated. The Sentinets correspondent
says he saw the paper. This being the case,
he has given the contents of it incorrectly
from the stupidity of a mind not able to COM
prehend it, or he has stated them falsely,
knowing the statement to be false. We do
not care which horn of the dilemma he hangs
himself on. ..
The gentlemen above named who origina-
ted the memorial, are among the foremost
patriots of Davidson County. They have
the political confidence of large majority
of the people of the County. That people,
together with the people of Forsyth, Stokes,
Randolph, Guilford, and other Counties, are
still petitioning the Congress to give us
loyal State government, and they aoiW continue
to do so. No human power can prevent them
from doing so. They are in favor of Mr..
Stevens BILL which confers suffrage solely on
the loyal without regard to color; and many
of them are going further, and urging the
Congress to confiscate the lands of all the
leading unrepentant rebels in the South
They are determined chat the Union shall be
restored on loyal basis; that treason shall
be made odious and, as Col. Henderson
told the people in his recent speech at Thorn
asville, that those who wrecked our School
Fund, and our University Fund, and who,
by their cruel persistency in wicked REBEL
ion, imposed upon us the enormous taxes we
are now paying, shall be made to replace
those Funds and to ease us of these taxes,
out Of Heir estates. Our loyal people have at
last determined, and Congress has determin-
ed that traitors and treason have trified long
enough with the dearest interests of the
country. Those ach0 ruined us shall not rule
us. Such miserable "pimps" of the infa-
nous Richmond despotism as the Editors of
the Sentinel may croak and declaim, and
SANDER, and torture the truth into all kinds
of falsehoods to suit their selfish purposes,
or to please those masters of theirs who own
them soul and body; but every DEVICE every
subterfuge, every lie, no matter how inge-
niously told, will perish, and justice-stern
justice will be done. The petitions, from
both white and black, will continue to pour
into Congress. No threats of the "pimps"
of power, no grand juries no fulminations
from the Governor or his organs, can arrest
the movement. 1t will go on. Congress
will act. Traitors will be put out, and loyal
men put in. The Union will be restored in
a manner which will gladden. the hearts of
all good men, and confound the schemes of
all bad men; and we shall begin once more,
at no distant day, a new career of prosperi-
ty and happiness. The people have willed
it, and it shall be done.

A Trip to High Point and Greensboro.
Leaving Raleigh on Sunday night, the
train reached High Point at two in the morn
inc. Monday, where we turned in for q nap
until day light
During the run there was one thing only
to be remarked, the scarcity of passengers
from Raleigh to Greensboro, at which point
the Richmond connection brought in not
few. Evidently of travellers, Southwark
bound, goodly number prefer this new in
land route.
After breakfast, we met many friends at
High Point, among them Fl. Adams Esq,
former Senator from Davidson, in fine feather
and high spirits, George Riley, Esq, Col. W.
T. Henderson, DR.. j. l.. johnson, and Col.
Sherman of Wilmington.
Shortly afterwards about one hundred and
fifty representatives from different parts OF
the State were assembled, composing the
bone and sinew of the country. We heard
from all of them and there was but one SEN
timent politically-THE UNION. And all
were in favor of immediate reorganization.
The last bill introduced by Mr. Stevens met
with the warmest approval.
We also saw petition to Congress in Cir
culation, having the signatures OF hundreds
OF Union men and were assured that many
others were being signed and forwarded

two good hotels, and several substantial
store buildings.
Next day was spent in Greensboro There
we met Mr. Tourgee, Editor of the Register,
who seems determined to drive his Union
team straight through. The Register is very
popular with the Unionists, and will WELD
strong influence in the Western portion of
this State.
Greensboro will ere long be a large City.
1t has much room for improvement; and we
feel sure that in a short while many changes
for the better will be consummated.
Gen. o. o. Howard passed through Green's
boro' from the South for Washington at
noon; and we had the pleasure of seeing
Gems. Avera and Bomford during the same
day, looking after the interests of the gov
eminent in that section of the State.
AT IL o'clock at night we took the east
ward going train, and landed in the City of
Oaks early in the morning.
The snow was everywhere, and the wheat
crop invisible, but we understood neverthe-
less that the farming prospects were very
good.
Altogether the time was proitably spent.

PETITION FOR New STATE GOVERN
Chronicle is to be credited, the following Pc
tition is being extensively circulated in Vir-
ginia and receiving many signatures, prepar-
atory to being presented TO Congress on its
re- assembling:
To the Senate and House Of Representatives of
the United States:
The undersigned, citizens of the State of
Virginia, loyal to the Federal Government,
and cordially endorsing the action of Con-
gress in refusing admittance to those claim
ing to represent this State in the national
councils, respectfully petition Immediate &C
ton on the part of your honorable bodies to
give that protection to the Union men and
the Union interests of this State which JUS
tice and policy alike demands, and which
Congress alone can provide for
They respectfully state that they are actu-
ated by an earnest desire to see the Govern
ment reconstructed as early as possible upon
a loyal and permanent basis; that they are
influenced by no spirit of revenge or hostili-
ty when they solemnly declare that their
dearest rights and liberties are in the hands
of those against whom they were arrayed in
the late unfortunate strife, and whose feelings
are too violent and vindictive to accord them
those rights prescribed by their own pEeten-
ded laws.
They further represent that the executive,
legislative and judicial branches of the Gov
eminent, with few honorable exceptions,
are in the hands of those who were false to
the Government in the late struggle for its
life that the judgesiappointed by the Exec
utive are, without exception, composed Of
those who were notorious in their support of
the rebellion. The Executive in appointments
consisting of directors of public institutions,
railroads, adjutant generals, inspectors, off
GERS of the State militia, &C., has, so far as
We know, selected none save those who have
been consistently disloyal The Legislature
has, in all its actions, manifested its injustice
towards Union men.
For these and other reasons they request
the revocation of the power hitherto exer-
cised by Gov. Peirpont; that a provisional
governor be appointed to reconstruct the
government upon loyal foundation, and
that Congress grant such other relief as may
seem fit. They further request that the Hon.
John G. Underwood, the faithful patriot and
distinguished jurist, who has always adher-
ed to the Government with a fidelity which
no ffattery could seduce, no bribery corrupt,
nor fears intinaidate, be selected as said pro-
visional governor

The Constitutional Amendment Reject
ed by Virginia.

Yesterday, the Virginia Assembly rejected
the Constitutional Amendment, by unani-
nous vote in the Senate, and with a solitary
affirmative in the lower House-of Mr. Lew
is, Delegate from Fairfax. By a simple neg
alive, and without flourish, the representa-
tives of Virginia expressed the honest die
tates of their hearts, to which, we are assur-
ed, all the people cry, amen. Virginia had
but one response to make to any proposition
which conveyed to her dishonor, and on this
occasion her answer is given, with the calm
ness and dignity appropriate to name which
has never been coupled with disgrace. In
the manner and the act our Legislature has
truly reflected the sentiment of their constit-
uency, who will accord to them suitable Gre
dit. AS In the time when the Roman Senate
was the most august body on earth, the peo-
pie of Virginia say now to their Legislature:
You deserve well of your country; thus we
would have you act. "-Riehmond Examiner.
The Legislature of Kentucky has also re-
jected the amendment by decided majority.
The Legislature of Missouri, which exists
on loyal basis, has.adopted the amendment.
