morning, and until the Hecsipt OF the opening
New York dispatch, there was but one buyer
on the market. He offered lc for Middling,
but paid l6Lc as a general thing. The New
York market opened very arm, ana holders
were asking higher rates than at the close on
saturday. The opening dispatch quoted Ordt-
nary l5Zal6c Good ordinary, TIC; Low Mid

Orleans, pc; and the closing report quoted fair
demand, prices firm and unchanged with sales
for the day Of 800 bales. Our market improved
after the II O'Clock dispatch came in, and more
buyers made their appearance seeking Mid

SONG OF THE DEAD.
BY EDWARD Z. MoREHEAD.
Comrades OF the silent land,
Wekeless aleepers Of the tomb
Swell the pale and ghostly band
Gathered IN the midnight slooml
Darkness rules the middle world,
aeap Is On The ons OF light.
Life hath not = sail unfuried
Md the shadows OF the night
Only we, The wept and lost;
Only we the sons OF DEATH
Only we, the sleeping host;
Only we, who draw no breatni
We, the Shiny and the cold
We, the CHASTITY and the dread
We. whom earth nor air can hold
Only we Tie night winds tread
Come from every varied cline,
Sprung m m every mingled ACE,
Living on through endless time,
Knowing naught OF nl TO face.
What care we for war and storm,
suffering, agony and woe7
What heed wethe cares that swarm
Round the naughty and thelow7
IGNORED mid the waking hours,
Mourned With tear, and grnan and sigh;
Housed IN mansions wreathed in flowers;
Crowned with virtues all a lie;
However black the life before,
Sacred now. revered by all;
Who would ny the shadOwy shore2
Who would answer LIES recau2
Glory 90 the ghOstIy landI
Glory to the pulseless stated
Glory TO the midnight band
Armed against the blade Of fatet

All are Elaves, while we are free;
Lift your voices on the night,
They shall Cross the widest seat

RIVER MATTERS.
WEATHER mi RIVERS.

Sunday was a clear and beautiful day,
and yesterday was not behind it, but in
dicatlons OF rain were more prominent
last night than for sometime previous.
The river at this point declines slowly,
almost imperceptibly. There is some
difference Of opinion among pilots as to
channel depth to Cairo, but from four
and a half to five feet the general
reports made by them. A slight
swell at Louisville is reported, but there
is no change in the lower Ohio. White
river Is in bad condition, with not more
than thirty-four inches at Little Island.
The following special dispatch gives the
depth in the Arkansas from the mouth

Hard Road 20 ErnYCl.

The old slavery politicians ale practicing
in an entirely new field, and appear to be
badly embarrassed in the work They are
trying TO make something out Of the negroes
for their political purposes, but find them
selves embarrasssdby the hctthat they lose
whites by ne operation faster than they gain
blacks. The Richmond EUguuey urJeis a
caution on this poi I, which also shows now
Jealous the effort has been to secure the
votes of the negroes. The caution is i'm these
words. "Ihal we engage in no ~ill chase
after the negroes who do not intend to be
friendly with us" and this is accompanied
BY the honest cpntesson, '"We have lowered
oursolyosIn some eases in pushing our kind
ness upon them" Finding all TINS lowering
and this kindness in vain, the Enquirer nat,
urally grows spunky, and says, "They ara
not to be conciiated, and we are full able
to defy them-let them take their course,
ard let us recognize them in the character
Of enemies, which they choose to assume" -"
But tho same class Of politicians have
sweet talk for those of the blacks who will
listen to II, who are addressed and spoken
Of as THE sensible and reasonable Of the
colored people" " who are to be encouraged"
and recognized as friends The policy
evidently is to creale divisions among the
b acks, which is a delicate operation, be-
cause the hluery addressed to the blacks
makes also division among the whites.-
Hence the endeavOr to divide the blacks is
accompanied with. a passionate appeal to the
whites to be united, and this enforced with
all the terrors associated, in the excited im>
agination, with the triumph of lIunucutt
and the negroes. After all, as We have said, ,

VIII there be u Summer Session
Of GORgreaS

The Washington correspondent Of Chi
cago paper says, there has been good deal
of talk during the last ten or twelve d.evs
about summer session of Congress. The
number of those who argue that there should
be one is greater than the number of thoss
who believe there will be one. A very large
body of those technically called Radicals
stand ready with a score Of reasons why such
a session should be held but when brought
down to give an answer, most of them own
that the country does not seem TO demand
it. Three.fourths, at least, of the Republi-
cans here last week were Of the opinion that
there would be no quorum present at the
time fixed in July for a re-assembling, un-
les events occur of which there is now no
foreshadowng. The offices were filed
much more generally than it was supposed
a month ago that they would be, and thus
far the President manifests reasonably
good disposition to aid in the execution Of
the new Reconstruction Law If he con-
tinues in good ways see little prospect of a
summer session.

Quietly Progressing.

Under the chosen method Of adjusting
the. political condition OF the Southern
States. the military arm of the Gqvern-
ment has nominally conspicuous place.
But there is no reason 10 fear that the
coercive power will require application in
reality, to any appreoiable extent Its
functions appear to be more preventive
than remedial, and in this respec', it will
probably furnish confirmation to the max
i'm Of practical philosophy, that an ounce
OF preventive is better than a pound Of
cure. The passive virtues. or rather the
virtues OF passiyity, developed under the
system already, give promise Of ultimate
results equal to the expectations Of the
Congress that adopted it. And in the
end. we doubt not, it will prove to be the
American citizen. [volume] (Butler, Butler County, Pa.) 1863-1872, 1867-05-08
4 National Homo for INVALID
SDBEgfHv,s

SOIG1rFss
Measures are now in hand which are
calculated after the lapse OF few months.
to establish on a grand scale, the desi>
deratum--a National Home for Invalid
Soldiers. The design is an admirable
one, and is as follows: It is well known
that all efforts to obtain voluntary sub
scriptions sufficient to erect a Soldiers
Home have been without avail. In fur
therance Of the object, however, the leg.
islataro of Pennsylvania have passed an
act dated March 6, 1867, creating a cor
poration Of which Major General George
G. Meade is President, and General Ho-
ratio G. Sickels is Treasurer, with an
efficient board of supervisors, who have
the power to distribute to the holders of
certificates a large number Of immensely
valuable gifts, consisting Of dla4 onds.
pearls, cmeralds, rubios, &c. purchased
from citizens Of the Southern States dur.
ing the rebeli on, and whicA articles viii
soon be exhibited in Philadelphia. BY
this scheme it is confidently Anticipated
a large fund will be created towards the
erection Of the Home. A great feature
Of the affair consists in the fact that ev
cry purchaser Of the certificates becomes
a contributor to this National Home fund,
and at the same time has direct inter.
est IN the distribution cf the rare gems
mentioned above. The details of the en-
tire scheme will be conducted in a per
fa2tly fair and honorable manner. The
site for the Home has already been pur,
chased, and consists Of thirty acres of
land used by General Meade during the
battle Of Gettysburg as his headquarters
The plan has been approved by ex Gov>
crnor Curtin, Major General Meade, Gov.
Geary, aud a large number Of prominent
military heroes. The object in view is
sertanly of such character as to com.
mend it to every patriot. That we should
erect an Asylum for the comfort and
maintenance Of our invalid soldiers, no
one will deny; and every individual
who is now enjoying the rich blessings
of peace purchased by the blood and sur
ferings Of the noble dead, and the MAIN
ed aud suffering survivors, should lend
helping hald in this good and humane
entorprise-not on the grounds of being
rewarded by drawing a prize, but from a
deep sense of gratitude to the surviving
sufferers, and true and living respect
for the memory Of the patriotic dead.

THE starvation point that Las been reach,
ed in South Carolina is evidently only rela.
tive. That point of famine which no longer
admits of faslidiousuess in the choice OF
food has not yet been arrived at. They are
hungry, but some delicacy of appetite yet
remains. Thus for instance, General Sick,
les, writing to the chairman Of the southern
Relief Committee in Boston, says; "It you
send corn meallet me suggest that you send
white meal; for white persons will not eat
yellow meal. It's only given here to cattle,
and even the colored people refuse it" When
we call to mind what Union soldiers, who
crowded rebel prison pens at Salisbury and
Andersonville, had to feed upon in their
extremity, it certainly requires some stretch
of charitable feeling to arouse anything like
sympathy for people who are so very par.
ticular about the quality of the aims they
beg for.-PW. Coml.
