The Song of the Mowers.

We are up and away, ere the sunrise hath kist'
In the valley below US, that ocean of mist
Ere the tops of the hills have grown bright in
its ray,
With our seythes on our shoulders, we're MP
and away
The freshness and beauty of morning are ours,
The music oil birds and the fragrance of how,
ers;
And our uail is the first that is seen in the dew
AS our pathway through orchards and lanes we
pursue.
The helmeted clover in serried array,
Like host for the battle, awaits us to-day
Like host oyerthrown, rank by rank. shall il
lie
Ere the heats of the noon.tide are poured from
tie sky,
Hurrah here we are now together "a one
Give your sCythes to the sword, and press
steadily on:
All together, as one, DER the stubble we pass,
with swing and ring of the steel through
the grass.
Before US the clover stands thickly and tall,
AT our left ii If piled in a yerdurous wall;
And never breathed monarch more fragrant per.
fumes
Then the sunshine distills from its leaves and
its blooms.
Invisible censers around us are swung.
AND anthems eNultantf ON tree. trOps are flung
And mid fragrance, and music, and beauty we
share
The jubilant life of the Earth and the Air.
Let the merchant and lawyer grow pale in their
shades,
And the slender young clerk keep his skin like
maids;
We care not thodgh dear mother Nature may
bronze
Our cheeks with the kiss which she gives to her
sons.
Then CHEEKY, boys, CHEEKY together, as one,
Give yeur scythes TO the sward, and press

All together, as one, Der the stubbe we pass,

Washington Items.

The Senate adjourned at quarter
past one, when the Republican Senators
went into caucus, and tits sBid that they
determined that nothing but business re-
lating to reconstruction should be con-
sidered.
Those who had confidently antici-
pated Impeachment are not over Joyous
but large majority Of the Republican
Congressman feel relieved and confident
that their constituents will approve their
conduct.
General Schenck succeeded in get
ting the House of Representatives to
take action on the claims of the Ken
lucky members elect to seats. It was
very evident that disloyal men, or those
elected by noted disl oval constituencies,
cannot take seats in the Fortieth Con-
gress.
"A number of Senators and Repres-
entatives obtained an audience with the
President tonight. The Judiciary Com
mittee will probably submit their report
to the House next week, together with
the evidence on the Impeachment mat
ter, but under the resolution of the
House to-day it cannot be considered at
the present session.
The joint committee appointed to
wait on the President and to inform him
that Congress was in session and was
ready to receive any communications
that he might have to make did not find
him at home, and had to call again in
the evening. The President had gone
to attend the Commencement at George
town College. He said in the morning
to a Democratic member, that as this
was to be a continuation of last session,
ne dld not expect to be officially notified
as at the commencement of new ses-
sion.
The action of Congress has con-
Vlnced the most sanguine advocates of
the impeachment OF the President at the
present session that they cannot carry
out their programme-someo of the Sena-
tors and Representatives upon whose
support they had counted having de-
clared themselves against any action
upon any subject except the Amend
ment OF the Reconstruction bill. Per
haps the fact that the thermometers in
different departments of the Capitol
ranged at from IS to 80 degrees had it's
influences.
The action of the House and of the
Senate in the caucus looks to q short
session, as short as the President will
permit. Mr.. Wilson of Iowa, chairman
OF the House judiciary committee, SAYS
that an adjournment can be Effected by
the end of next week, but this is based
upon the calculations that the President
Will SEND his veto in promptly, but moth
Ing can be safely predicted of his move
hents or conduct. If Congress gets
away by the 25tt, it will do remarkably
Well, and it may be competent to stay
the mouth out.

necticut, charging fraud by VIM. Ii.

LIGHTNING RoDs.-The recent freaks of
the lightning in our town and vicinity
has most seriously directed the attention
OF our people to the protection to be
prepared from the descending shafts of
this terrible element in nature For the
Information of those who may desire
this protection, we are happy to an
rOunce, that Lightning Kimball is in
town, busy at work putting up the
North American Lightning Rods, manu-
featured in Philadelphia, and many Of
our citizens are availing themselves of
the opportunity thus offered to secure
these valuable rods, manufactured from
magnetic iron, fVe-eighths square
grooved, spinal twisted and galvanized,
which are warranted never to corrode
or rnst and are connected by perfectly
fitting solid copper bars, forming not
only perfect aud continuous connec-
ton from the points to the ground, but
by combination Of metals, forming a
galvanic battery on the rod, enabling
the rod to discharge the electricity of a
thunder storm harmlessly into the
ground.
We give with great pleasure the fol-
lowing certificate of our well-known fel-
low citizen, DR.. Charles L. Allen, in re
ference To their utility:
BUTLAND, VT, July 9Th, 1867.

In our future political contests with

of the South and Of the West, and they
will thus contribute to give Us back

The Fate of tlae Confederate Colo
EiSfs in Mexico.

Nearly all the foreigners were leay-
ing the country. Crawley Il Bro, and
many other Englishmen, recently en-
ployed on the Imperial Mexican Rail
way, were at Vera Cruz, awaiting the
arrival of the English steamer.
Gen. Hindman would leave the city
of Mexico in 4 few days on his way to
New Orleans, and has probably arrived
ere this.
Gen. Shelby was in Vera Cruz, but
would return in few days to Cordova
to settle up some unfinished business,
when he intended sailing for the Uni
ted States.
Ex-Governor Reynolds, of Missouri,
viii remain for some time in the Capt.
tai. He is practiting law there, and
doing quite a good business for for
eigner. His thorough knowledge OF
the language gives him great advan-
tage in the struggle, and his Wig
orous and comprehensive intellect
gives him additional power in that
! curious and interesting arena, the
the Mexican Judiciary department.
Cordova has gone quietly to sleep
/ again under the white shadows of ORR
cara, never to be disturbed again, per
haps, by the harsh gutterals OF despair
/ ing Anglo Saxon, nor to be aroused
/ by the pale, eager faces of credulous
/ colonists, expecting dOubloons to grow
+ on trees and sacks of coffee to be
plowed from the earth.
The pretty little village OF Carlota,
too, with its pretty maiden name, IS
silent and deserted. W eeds have over
grown the small green spots OF the
early settlers, and the spotted lizards
dart in and out like flakes of sunlight
amid the bamboo stems, and the cool,
/ green cane-l0g Of every cabin.
Before all this came to pass death
had been busy with many manly forms
forms which had passed through
hotter ordeals than tropical suns, and
darker fields than the tangled juniper
and beds of reeds about CordOya.
A gallant old soldier, Major Williams,
from Upton, Missouri, was buried
there Texas gave a young Captain
named Mullen, and Saint Louis has
many citizens who will mourn the
death OF DR. Naupi, formerly of your
city. His was brave, good life and q
peaceful death.
There were some dozen. others
whose names are forgotten now
buried by his side, and over these
graves in a foreign land, the wilc
flowers rest as swectly and the nigh
dews skinner just as brightly as i
they were made in the land of theiI
nativity
Almost without a single exception
the MeXicans are rgoiced that the
Cordova immigration scheme was ;
failure They hate all foreigners witt
a hatred bordering nearly upon insani
ty, and of all foreigners on earth the.
g hate the Americans most.

Dear Sir-You have done me the
honor to call for my opinion relative
to the action of the South under the
Military Bill. Having seldom taken
any part in politics, I do not feel well
qualified to advise on so mOmentous a
question; nevertheless, as the same
desire to obtain my views has been
manifested from various quarters, l
shall not shrink from the response
biity OF expressing them, in the hope
that they may tend to quiet the public
mind, so justly alarmed at this mo-
ment.
In my humble opinion, we have
but one Of two things to do-resist or
submit the first is inadmissible. in
our painfully exhausted condition.
-Four years of = desperate war have
taught Us that the argument OF the
sword can no longer be rcsorted to
by us to redress our grievances. We
must, therefore, submit; but with that
calm dignity becoming our manhood
and our lost independence
Having been oyerpowered in the late
struggle, We can submit to the harsh
and ungenerous conditions ofour con
querors without dishonor, and we
must adopt the least of two evils: a
futile resistance would only cause our
rlvets to be driven closer; we must
then acquiesce or leave the country.
But we love too dearly the land of our
birth to abandon it in its hour of Sc
yereSt trial. We should avoid, also.
hringingit, by internal dissentions, to
the condition of poor Mexico, and the
unfortunate South American Repub-
lies.
With regard to the suffrage of the
freedmen, however Objectionable it
may be at present, it is an element of
