TEHE TWO ARMIES.

As Life sunending column pours,
Two maIshalled hosts are seen,
Two armies on the trampled shores
That Death flows black between.
One marches to the drum-beat S roll.
The wide-mouthed clarion's bray,
And bears upon crimson scroll,
Our glory is to slay. y
One moves in silence by the stream,
With sad, yet watchful eyes,
Calm as the patieut planets CLEAN
That walks the clouded skies
Along its front no sabres shine,
No biood-red pennons wave;
IFS banners bear the single line,
Our duty is to save. +"
For those no death-bed's lingering shade !;
At HOnOr's trumpet-call,
With knitted brow and lifted blade
In Glory's arms they fall.
For these 10 clashing falchions bright,
No stirring battle-cry;
The blOodless stabber calls by night
Echo answers, ''Here am [ ~
For these the sculptor's laurelled bust,
The builders marble piles,
The anthems pealing Ger their dust
Through long cathedral aisles.
For these the blossom -sprinkled turf
That floods the lonely graves,
When Spring rolls in her sea-green surf
In flowery-foaming waves.
Two paths lead upward from below,
And angels wait above,
Who count each burning life-drop's flow,
Each falling tear Of love.
Though from the hero's bleeding breast
Her pulses freedom drew,
Though the white lilies in her crest
Sprang from that scarlet dew
While valor's naughty champions wait
Till all their scars are shown,
Love walks unchallenged through the gate,
10 sit beside the throne

Not so much Of rowdy as jackson, and
far mo:e Of a rowdy than Lincoln, he had
some qualities in which he was superior to
them both Like them he had studied the
law to fit himself to political life but, un-
ike them, he was . thorough lawyer and
excellent speaker He possessed all the in
domitable will and energy of jackson, bnt
was free from turbulence and ferocity.-
Though his early education was deficient, he
had in later life turned his leisure to such
account as to make himself familiar with
the master pieces Of English literature. =
jackson might be content with the Bible
and the "Vicar of Wakefield" and Lincoln
with the Bible and Joe Miller" but An
drew johnson had large thirst for knowl-
edge; and though he did not constantly in
terlard his speeches with trite poetical quo
tations, like some of the so called orna-
ments Of the Senate Chamber, his reading
was as extensive as theirs In his unfortu-
nate speech as Vice President he was cohe-
rent enough to declare principle which, as
President, he afterwards made the corner;
stone Of his policy-the principle that a
sovereign State, such as his native Tennes-
see, could not commit treason, that State
might be de .fdcto, but could never be theor
etically, out Of the Union. He reiterated
the assertion with marked emphasis of tone
and manner, few if any of his hearers i'm
agi mig at the time the importance which
either the speaker or the principle was so
speedily to assume, and what transcendent
issue of peace or war, prosperity or ruin,
we're involved in it.
The war was all but over when he spoke.
When he was called to fill the perilous seat
which an act of martyrdom had left vacant,
the Confederacy had collapsed, and its
brave but luekless President was flying for
his. life toward Texas, with hope-which,
if it had been realized, might have changed
the fortunes of the North American conti-
nent-that if he could reach this vast and
not easily to be conquered territory, he
might have prolonged the war for twenty
wears. Jackson task was but child's play

More Salts Against Gen. Butler.

A letter from New York, in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, says:
Another batch Of suits for the recovery of
damages has been instituted against Gens7sSI
Butler in TIE Supreme Court Chambers.
The plaintiffs are in some cases citizens Of
New Orleans, aud in others citizens of Viz
ginia and all claim to be snd have been loyal
men. The most serious of these complaints
or suits are based upon the allegation that
General Butler had, by virtue of his power
in New Orleans, compelled Mr. Honi-
well to transfer the steamer Carlotta, worth
100000, to himself personally for $4,000,
in a currency worth but SOS, 200, had, through
his agent, sent this vessel on a private ven
ture for his own advantage, which it was
insinuated was TO supply the rebels with quiz
nine, &c, and then, through his agent, had
chartered it to the Government for So. 59ber
day, and had ultimately run her UNDER
near the end of the war, and obtained for
her $40, 900. 1t is claimed, therefore, that
in no sense could it be said that this had been
done under authority from the President OF
Congress.
General Buffers counsel contend that
these acts were done in accordance with
Government authority, and moves, there
fore, that they be transferred to a Federal
court for adjudication. The court promised
a decision in day or two.
HENRY j. Raymond says: 'It is evident
that the Democratic party grows worse, in
stead of better" This is the very highest
praise which is possible for any mortal to
bestow on the Democratic party. For what
is vice, in Raymond's mind, is virtue in the
estimation of right thinking men. If the
Democratic party Is getting worse in his
eyes, it is because it is returning to the faith
and principles of our fathers.

JOHNSON.

1t was then that new man stepped upon
the scene, a man whom the North little
trusted, and whom it had only elected TO
the Vice Presidency because his name lent
a little popularity in those Border States Of
Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, and Mis-
souri,, which had not quite so much faith in
the negro and his cause was felt by the
North and West. The new conner was more
remarkable than Abraham Lincoln or An
drew Jackson, remarkable as they both
were, and was called to the highest Office
under circumstances, public as well as pri-
vate, that were peculiarly unfavorable. The
murder of Lincoln had exasperated the pub
lie mind to a pitch Of frenzy never before
known in America. When all men S hearts
were opening to the ideas of reconciliation
and peace, dastardly assassin converted all
the feelings into hatred and revenge. And
the Vice President-elected not for his own
sake. but to carry the election with greater
triumph for Mr. Lincoln-becarne the Presi-
dent of party to which he had been op-
posed all his life on every public question
except that of the inviolability and perpe-
tuity Of the Union.

the opinion that if every negro in America

very, was a result of the struggle that, IN
the first two years of its fury, he was the
last man in the Union to imagine Yet so
it was. The weak man became strong by
the irresistible strength of events. In Jack
sons time the love of the Union in the
North was but latent feeling; i'll Lincoln
time it was an irresistible force, and, lashed
into fury by the passions of the war, would
have preferred the utter desolation of the
Southern States-their conversion into the
original wilderness and the determination or
Punishment of their whole population
rather than see them, by their own exertions
or the aid of a foreign State, erected into an
Independent Confederacy. This good and
merciful man was good and merciful to the
end Even when the South was on the
point Of collapse-when its hope of foreign
recognition had long since died away-when
its armies were reduced to the minimum of
hope as well as of numbers-when, in ming
led pride and despair, it refused to arm the
negroes, preferring conquest by its white
brothers to independence to be purchased by
the aid of black soldiers-Mr. Lincoln was
ready and anxious to grant honorable terms
of surrender. In the flush of victory there
was much that he could have done that no
other man could have attempted. He could
have issued general amnesty he could
have declared the Union restored in fact and
in theory on the sole condition that his mil
itary proclamation for the abolition Of sla
very should be adopted by every Southern
State as the basis of legal enactment. But
this great and happy result was not to be
attained The pistol of fanatic deprived
the Southern people Of friend, and the
Northern people man after their own
hearts, who, through good and i'll fortune,
had fought their fight with an humble, a
contrite, and an honest spirit, and given the
victories for which they had hhngered and
thirsted for four miserable years.
