SUNDAY WALKS IN SPRNG.-The win
ter is scarcely yet gone, but the fresh
ness Of the morning air tempts you to
make an early start, and abandoning the
road, lengthen your walk to church by
ramble through the fields. And Nature,
approaching the compliment you pay
her, rewards you by her sweetest smile.
The hard. beaten tooth path by the spring
leads you down the hill, across the stile,
and you pause on the rustic bridge over
the brook to catch the fash of the March
sunlight on the rapid water, as it CUR
giles against the pebbles still buried here
and there by thin wreath Of ice and
snow, which the sun is not yet warm
enough to melt. But spring is close at
hand for, from the black pine woods,
comes tie diseOrdant caWiDg Of Tar
Lament of crows, sure heralds OF
warmer season. And now the distant
church bells ring, clear and sharp upon
the air, and one by one along the high
way pass slowly the flll-laden farmers
wagons toward the town. You start
on, and the clear ozone of the braCing
air chases away the cObwebs OF worldly
care, while over all spreads calm and
quiet like no other but Sunday morn
ing in the country. And as you enter
the sacred doors, as the bell'0 last rever-
beration dies away, you feel, indeed,
with something like sigh at civiliza-
ton, that "the groves were Gods first
temples"
And very pleasant, too is the walk at
the close Of spring Sunday afternoon.
The long, empty lane has its charms for
you, with its loose stones standing here
and there in little, half,frUzen. pools, and
its grass in the most sheltered hooks be-
ginning to show faint tiDge of green.
You strike out soon into the open fields,
and the stubble and the dried clover
crackle pleasantly under your feet, for
plow and harrow have not yet put in an
appearance. Anon you come toa stone
wall, capped by rough boards, some Of
which the winter tempests have scat
tered, leaving gap through which you
pass and as you spring down, you fall
into miniature snowbank, for the snow
still fingers 10 little patches, nnder the
lee of the rocks and fences. And now
you come upon the breezy uplands, and
hear across the pasture the sough of she
winds passage through the tops Of the
maple grove, bare of leaves, and as yet
without the temerity OF even bud; but,
scattered hree and there among their
clustered trunks, the dull red Of the sap
buckets give sweet foretaste OF coming

NoRTa CHEoIINA,--Gen. Sickies has
assumed command of North and South
Carolina under TIE reconstruction act.
His order allows civil officers 10 perform
the functions Of their offices when not
incompatible with the laws Of the United
States, and directs post commanders to
arrest all persons charged with crime
where the civil authorities fail to do
their duty. Gen. Sickles earnestly COM
mends to the authorities and people of
North and South Carolina unreserved
obedience to the authority now estab-
lished, and the diligent consideration
and impartial execution Of the laws
enacted for their good government.
Gov. Worth, in communicating to
the Governors Of other States the reso-
lutions of the North Carolina Legisla-
ture proposing National Constitution
al Convention, says: "If these resolu-
lions shall meet the approval of the
States and of Congress, do not doubt
that the result will be such mutual con-
cessions as will lead to cordial restor-
alton of the relations among the States
which of old made the American Union
the pride of our people and the envy of
the nations"

The House has suddenly wheeled
round on the adjournment question,
though the Senate first set the example
by sending for its resolution passed Sat.
urday night. This greatly strengthens
the opponents Of the unconditional ad-
journment, so that resolution giving
Messrs. Wade and Coliax the power TO
Issue proclamations in May, June, Sep
TENDER and November, dispensing with
the meeting agreed on, was promptly
posed. The Senate has referred IL TO
the judiciary committee, and the pros
pect is that il will be amended, as 1t Is
extremely doubtful whether Congress
can delegate any such power to its pre-
siding officers. The Senate may agree
that Congress shall positively meet In
June and October TO adjourn over to q
specified date, unless otherwise ordered.
This would enable majority TO revive
the resolution on the day named, If any
thing In the condition of the country
should demand it. Secretary Stanton
and Gen. Grant are quoted freely, as urg.
ing the impolicy of an unconditional
adjournment. The Senate is not salts
fed with the idea of trusting the Presi-
dent to cell an extraordinary session for
executive business, and may insist that
the House shall remain in session week
longer.

CANADIAN CoNFEDERATIoN.---T
British Parliament seems determined to
rush the scheme of the kingdom of Cana
da through. The bill passed in the
House of Commons after third reading
on the 9Th inst. Its success in the House
of Lords may be assured therefore, in
as far as the Canadian Confederation can
be affected on the other side of the ocean,
we may look upon it as established. AS
majority of the British American prov
inces have declared in favor of it, we may
consider the new kingdom on our northern
border as good as formally created. The

ty are, of course, to follow in due time.

New RAILROAD BRIDGE.-lt will be
remembered that the railroad bridge at
Pike River, in the township of Stan
bridge, Canada, was broken down by a
freight train on the 18th Of February
last. AS this was a new bridge built in
1865 by contractors for the Montreal and
Vermont Junction Railroad Company,
this accident caused considerable sur
prise. It was built by q Mr.. Laurence
at Waterloo, c. E. The wreck was i'm
medately removed and its place sup
piled by an entirely new structure of the
Howe pattern, 100 feet long. 1t was
built and made ready for use in the re-
markedly short space of three weeks
an accomplishment which we are as
sured has no parallel within the knowl-
edge of our oldest and most experienced
bridge builders. The plans for this
bridge were drawn by Major Harvey
Tenney, Bridge Master Of the Vermont
Central r. R. Co., and his immediate
supervision was given to the whole
work.

PoLIrIcAL.-The Republican Associ-
alton of Wilmington, N. G., has issued
an appeal to the voters of that city to CO.
operate with them in recognizing the
State under the Military reconstruction
bill, on the ground that that bill gives the
best terms of reconstruction and repre-
sentation which can be expected. This
opinion is rapidly gaining ground through
out the South.
The Delaware Legislature signabzed
the session which has Just closed by the
passage of bill equalizing punisbments
without regard to the color of the GRIM
inals, by refusing to ratify the Constitu-
tional Amendment, and by the passage OF
an Amendatory School law.
The Wilmington Commercial, the
youngest paper in Delaware, but the
leading Republican Journal in the State,
urges the amendment of the United States
Constitution so as TO secure impartial suf-
frage in all the States, and proposes a
convention of the border States at Balti-
more to advocate this measure.
The prospects of the passage of the
equal suffrage amendment before the Ohio
Legislature adjourns are improving.
