Each letter of that pretty alphabet,
That spells IN flowers the pageant OF the year.
There are beside, of the elcgac sort, the poems
called "A Diree" and Drge for Ono who Fell in
Battle equally distinguished with those We have
named for the propriey he calmness, and sweetness
of thought and manner which spring ont of genuine
feeling and real poetic instinct. Here are two or
three sanzas of the first of these:
Slowly tread and gently bear
one that comes across the wave,
From the oppression Of his care,
TO the freedom Of the grave.
Bear him from llfc's broken sleep.
Dreams Of pleasure. dreams Of pain.
Hopes that utlublc joys that weep,
Loves that perish, visions vain.

Many Of Mr.. Whittier, other poems are on subjects
of national interest though viewed in the light Of
universal principles, rather than Of temporary politics.
His patriotic strains are always tempered with q
Christian spirit sounding less like the TyitTus ol

Tribute of Respect,

AT the regular meeting of the Saint
Cecilia Society, held OH the 18th of June,
the following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas it has seemed good to the Al
mighty Disposer OF Events to remove from
our midst our late wofthy and esteemed
brother member, JAMES LEWIS; and
whereas the intimate relations long held
by the deceased with the members of this
Society, render it proper that we should
place upon record our appreciation of him
as man and n friend:
Resolued, That ne deplore the loss of
Brother James Lewis with deep feelings of
regret, softened only by the hopc that his
spirit is with those who, having fought the
good fight here, are enjoying perfect hap
plness in a better world.
ReSolred, That we tender to his afflicted
relatives our sincere coincidence and our
earnest sympathy in their aff1iction at the
loss of one who was good citizen, a de-
voted friend and all upright man.
Resolved, That the members do wear
mourning on their left arm for thirty
days.
Resolued, That copy of the foregoing
resolutions be transmitted to the relatives
OF the deceased. and that they be pub
lished in the PhGnir.

The Wilmington Journal says:
The damage done to the planting
interests throughout the State is
fearful to contemplate. The cotton
crop is almost entirely annihilated,
fertilizers and manures having been
completely washed out, while the
corn crop has sustained very serious
injury. The consequences of this
fearful blow to the agricultural inte4
rest will be most terrible, every
energy of our farmers having been
directed to bring about an abun-
dant yield this year. The only
course left to pursue is to push ahead
and plow up the remnants of the
damaged crops, and endeavor to
replant as far as possible with corn.
At best, it is very great risk, and
the yield will depend entirely on the
propitiousness of the seasons.

The POWERS OF COMMANDERS 1T
is stated that the second opinion Of
the Attorney General, involving the
powers of military commanders, was
fully considered in Cabinet meeting
before the President Left, and action
thereupon was as complete and final
rs upon the opinion regarding regis
tration, it having been discussed and
voted on in separate sections. The
opinion was put in the form of n
summary Of points, like the first, and
all the members voted yea except the
Secretary of War, who voted nay and
submitted his reasons in writing. A
record was kept Of the proceedings,
and Mr.. Stanton's reasons in writing
entered thereon at his own request.
He asked that the proceedings be
made public, rs was ordered in the
case Of the first opinion, and vote
was taken on this request, when all
voted in the negative except Mr..
Stanton himself.

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN W1L,11SG-

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN WHINING
ToN.-The Journal says:
If law and order are to be main
tained-if our police are to be any
thing but uniformed automatons-
our city authorities must give them
real support in the discharge of
their duties. We regret to be COM
PEELED to recount the disgraceful riot
of day before yesterday, and worse
than all, the shameful conduct of our
authorities in the matter. Contrary
to the orders of General Sickles,
our report says that pistols were
freely drawn and the police, by an
overpowering force of enraged ne
groes, were violently prevented from
the lawful discharge of their duty.
This will not do, and wherever the
fault lies, it should be rcctitied.
1t may be an unseemly and dis
tasteful fact, but fact nevertheless,
that negroes must obey the same
laws which govern the whites, and
those who violate them must be
brought to punishment, even though
their skins be black Not yet is
this black mans government, and
those who so regard it are not worthy
to fill our offices, at least by the suf-
frage OF our people.

Fhe Crop asfospe ectA.

IL the recent storms and heavy
lrains have not seriously damaged the
crops in the Southern aud Middle
States, the prospect Of an abundant
yield throughout the whole land was
| never more promising. The New
York Journal Of Commerce, a reliable
paper, has collected some interesting
statistics upon the subject, a few Of
which we note. Of hay, the crop of
1860 was put down in the census at a
little over $4,000, 900 tons; that of
1865, by the Agricultural Bureau, at
21,77S, 626 tons; but the yield of 1867
is likely to be over 30,000,OO0 tons
gain of vastimportance. The wheat
crop of 1865 is given by the Bureau
at Isl, ,99S, ,906 bushels. The yield
this season is still subject to more
contingencies than the hay crop; but
the testimony from all sections is more
universally cheering and favorable to
the largest estimates than ever before
in our experience.
The corn crop, throughout the
country, promises abundantly, and
that promise is not SO liable to be dis
appointed as in other crops. The
yield of corn for the last year was
given at 81, GAG, 295 bushels. For this
year, the promise now exceeds 12O,-
100000 bushels. Other grains, and
most of the fruits, are equally pro-
missing. Such abundance, in any
country, must exercise healthful in
huence on monetary and commercial
matters, and will assuredly do SO here,
if the political difficulties we are now
suffering from are speedily adjusted.
God blesses the land with abundant
supplies of food for both man and
beast, but weak, erring and frail hu-
manity, forgetful of these benefits,
thwarts the goodness of the great
Benefactor, by indulging in and fos-
tering animosities which distract our
people and cripple enterprise every
where.

WHY Mr.. DAVIS WAS NOT TRIED.

WHY Mr.. DAVIS WAS NOT TR1Ep.-
1t is said that Attorney General Stan
berry holds that Chief Justice Chase's
decisions, recognizing tho Confede-
rates as belligerents of war, in order
to legalize the sale of the captured
blockade runners. precludes trial
for treason, rs belligerents cannot be
tried for that offence. 1t is said that
this doubt on the subject was the real
cause CT the delay in bringing Mr..
Davis to trial.

Weiare no admirers of Elk. Cover
nor Joe Brown, of Georgia, SO far as
his political anteeedents go. But, at
the present time, we think he has
taken the right position in counsel
ing pr and general conformity
construction Acts of Con
.e says, in a recent letter,
that when the Southern States are re-
admitted into the Union, he expects
to affiliate with whatever progressive
national party that shows the great
est inclination to- stand by principles
and deal justly by us-7-a party with
the most power to aid in restoring
prosperity to the South and to the
whole country. The war, as he says,
has forever settled the old issues
upon which the country was divided,
and, therefore, we ought, in making
future selections, to be governed by
mono of the predictions or preju-
dices of the past. 5
Of the importance of the Southern
people acting under the RECONSTRUCT
tion Acts, and the deplorable conse-
quences that would ensue, should the
Southern States refuse to adopt its
terms and provisions. he says very
forcibly:
aSheuld the people reject con-
vention, when Congress again meets,
it will do one of two things, saying
nothing for the present about confis-
catiom 1t will either disfranchise all
wbolyote against convention or all
'ayho Voluntarily engaged in the re-
bellbn. What would then follow?
sYhe commanding general would be
. odAected to make another enrolment
of the freedmen and the few white
1aen not disfranchised, and the ques-
tion of reconstruction would be re-
ferred back to them. They would
accept promptly, and form consti-
tuition for the State and elect State
officers and members of Congress,
and upon that organization the State
would be admitted into Congress by
her representatives. The present
proposition leaves probably eight to
nlne-tenths of the white men still
veters. The next will not probably
leave the ballot in the hands of more
than one or two-tenths of the white
men of the State"
And that this would be the result
of non-action, no sensible man can
doubt for moment. Already we
have the indication of the spirit and
temper of Congress in the call for
July session, in consequence of the
Attorney-General' opinion; and it is
not at all unlikely that, if quorum
be present next Wednesday, the first
act will be to abolish the existing
provisional State Governments, and
make the generals commanding the
districts supreme, not only as execu-
tive agents of Congress, but rs law
makers. The President will be en-
tirely stripped of the power of
interference. SO far as Congress can
effect that object, and the South will
have no branch of the General Co
vernment to shield or protect her.
This is gloomy contemplation. Let
us hope that it may not be realized,
and that the people of the South
will show to the world that manhood
and true moral courage which. in
stead of despairing, only prompts to
greater efforts to throw off the incu-
bus of adversely, with strong arms
and willing hearts.

REGISTER Our contemporary of the
Mobile AdcertiSer and Register seems
to be in earnest on the subject of re-
gistration. He says:
"The apathy III registering beto-
kens a species Of madness. If the
people do not come up and register,
twelve months will develop the fair
est example of q political and social
hell on earth, that this world has
ever seen. Let every man hasten to
free himself from self-reproach, and,
when the evil time comes, be able to
say to the old men and the women
and children of the land, thou canst
not say did it,"

Do you oppose the convention?

Circular.
In the execution of Paragraphs VI
and VII of General Orders No. 80,
current series, Post Commanders will
be governed by the following instruc-
tions:
An inn is place where food and
lodging are provided and furnished
for pay to- travellers and sojourners.
Municipal and town authorities
may grant to inn-keepers licenses to
sell liquors il quantities less than one
gallon to be drank on the premises.
In determining the number OF such
licenses, 1t Is eXpectol 1 that due regard
will be observed to the actual occa-
sion for tavern accommodations. so
that no evasion Of the order be per-
r>itted by an unnecessary increase of
the present number of inns. In any
town where this occurs, the authority
to grant licenses will be revoked, and
the licenses granted annulled.
The order does not admit of any
construction extending the privilege
to apothecary shops, ice cream sa-
looms, eating houses or other places.
The civil authorities to whom
license money has been paid will de-
termine for themselves whether they
will refund to licensees the whole or
any part Of the money received for
licenses.
The order is operative on and after
the date of its publication. Post
Commanders, in the exercise of their
discretion, may extend the time until
the first day of July next.
The military tribunals constituted
by Circular dated May Is, 1867. from
these headquarters, will have cogni-
zance of all violations of Paragraphs
VI and VII of General Orders 80,
current series. The proceedings will
be forwarded by the Post Commander
to these headquarters for review and
final action.
Where by law or municipal regula-
ton the proceeds of licenses arc de-
voted to the maintenance of common
schools open to all, without discrimi-
nation against color or caste, the pro-
ceeds of the licenses now authorized
may be applied either to such schools
or to the support of the poor, in the
discretion Of the civil authorities.
All laws or parts of laws or munici-
pal regulations inconsistent with the
provisions of General Order5A32, or
of this Circnlar, are suspended, and
will be deemed and held imperative.
The authority to revoke licenses
when drunkenness or disorderly con
duct is permitted in or about pre-
misses where liquor is sold, may be
exercised by Post Commander or by
any magistrate OF the vicinage on
proof of the offence.
