La't week we published the admirable
poem OF Rev. T. Hsmpstead, on "Ge,,ys
burg Though somewhat lengthy, we
trust sverv reader Of the Hied perused It
carefully. II na gem throughout. The
following allusion to Confederate soldier.
found dead upon the battle. field, cannot.
we think. fail to bring tears to the eyes of
at leas. every pa,rio. in the South:
When the roar
OF battle on his car fell faint, and skies
And arms and A fgh ting men grew shadowy
Through deaths dull film; did not a vision
rise
or distant hills, smooth fields aad shaded
walks,
OF singing waters and quiet home
With fair browed children standing on the
porch
Summed in mothers smilet Then would he
not
Have turned from all the gauds Of victory :,
And all the slaves that Mammons gold Ger
bought
II his ,oung babe mi rht lay its silken cheek
Against his own and give him one more kiss.
Scarcely snv other man living. could, in
our es,im .tion, express thought or a fact
so beautifully and touchingy. Read it
over ard over again, and apply it to your
self Hempstead's heart is az feeling and
symps,hetic, as his'cenius ia deep. search.

limited political experience can hard
ly refuse to profit by the advice of so
intellectual, refined and sagacious a
politician as the editor of the Sentinel
on, the Border. We suggest to the
Louisville Democrat that if it would
continue in the right track, it should
consult more carefully the columns
of the Sentinel-on- the Border, and
now and then peruse the no longer
private circular to my prison
friends who suffered in the honor
BILE cause This simple policy will
save it the modification necessarily
experienced in submitting to a patron
izing rebuke like that administered
by the Sentinel of yesterday.

There is much dissatisfaction on the
part of the Conservatives in regard to
the nominations of the rebel De-
mocracy, especially against Ex-Gov-
ernor HELM, who is very OBJ
jectionable to them. 1t will strength

by the Union men on Tues

THE Hon. Reverdy Johnson's sud
den detection from the Conservative
party, in which he has made himself
so prominent, is INDUSTRIOUS. IF he re-
spects himself, he can have the luxury
of rejecting that he has the respect Of
one human being.-LoUisville jour.
The Louisville Journals detection
from the Conservative party lin
placing the Democratic ticket at the
head of its columns in which it had
made itself so prominent, is mon
strous. If it respects itself, it can
have the luxury of knowing that ii
has the respect of one paper, and ii
the least respectable of any in the
country.

The friends of the Tariff Bill express
the belief that it is virtually dead.
The distillery frauds on the revenue are
said to be greater than ever imagined.
Gen. Grant and all the members of the
Cabinet are reported as being opposed to
the Reconstruction Bill.
It is conceded that the present officers OF
the House of Representatives win be re-
elected except, perhaps, the Doorkeeper.
One hundred and fifty New York Demo-
Gratis have requested the President to sign
the Reconstruction Bill.
The steamer Acadian, from Liverpool
for Savannah, was lost off the coast of Ire
land on Sunday.
The New York Times says the President
will veto the Reconstruction Bill to-mor-
row.
1t is reported that the President rendered
the Collectorship of New York to General
Sickies, who declined.
The tax collector OF Obion County, Ten
nessee, was assassinated few days ago by
the same band of rebel outlaws that muir
dered Senator Case and two other Union
men few weeks since.
A few days ago there was Soldiers Fair
up at StuebenvilIe, Ohio, from which near
ly $1,000, gross proceeds, were realized. The
great excitement of the occasion was a
contest between the various churches, to
see which one should obtain a certain
minister's gown that was offered.
Papers received by late steamer show
that the Fenian movement against Ches-
ter was more serious than indicated by the
cable dispatches. The movement was be-
trayed by an Irish-American officer-the

PLEASED with a rattle,
Tickled with a straM.n

BRICK PoMERoY, having visited
our city, and been pulled, al nauseona,
by the Sentinal-on-the- Border, writes
to the La Crosse Democrat a puff of
the Sentinel, in return. The Mutual
Admiration Society, composed of the
two editors, is perfectly harmonious.
Each tickles the other, and both en-
joy the tickling hugely. We regret to
learn, however, that Brick dislikes
the Courier. Possibly it is because
the Courier has no admiration for
BRICK. Some days ago we published,
for the benefit of the Sentinel,
circular to my prison friends" and
we now copy Backs notice, with the
same praise worthy desire-to swell its
circulation, and add to it's notoriety:
There are four daily papers here
three English and one German The
Journal, Republican, does not amount
to much, yet has the finest Office in the
city The Courier, Democratic, is one
of the milk -and-water policy Demo-
cratic papers, which has about as
much courage as two-day old chick
en-, and less influence. The 'Seatl-
mel on-the- Border, Democratic, ed
tied by that fearless champion, A. S.
Kierolf, is fast becoming the leading
journal of this part of Indiana. Hav-
ing only been started about three
weeks, it Is a success, more complete
than its most ardent admirers could
expect. The live Democrats of
Evansville will certainly take Kier-of
this earnest advocate of right--and
who will give their town more no.
toriety and business life than all the
others combined.
