MAGNANmCTTX OF RECONSTRUCTION
The magnanimous character OF recon-
structiOn was never better stated than
by the Hon. William M. EVarts, In the
following extract from his speech at the
Cooper Institute meeting in New York
on the 10th instant:
Now, this great problem has been
solved in this way; is it severe2 We
have not executed anybody for treason,
we have not condscated, we have not
banished, we have not deprived of civil
rights, we haYe not disfranchised any
but few prominent rebels and it is
one Of the most remarkable things in
the history Of this pacifcauon, that
whereas all other governments in other
countries, after suppressing rebellion,
have made severe enactments depriving
of rights and making disqualifying dis
examinations, the first great act of the
America Congress, after the suppress
sion of our rebellion, has this noble
title: "A35 act 10 protect all persons IN
tie United States az their ciUI rights and
pgOVide The means for their Uindicatiou."

Of the South that 60 for the Republicans
must have the charm Of Radical to
qualify the ticket in the negrO's mind.
A citizen of Atlanta related to us an
incident illustrating this. a sturdy
black came up to be registered, giving
the name of Bob. He was told that he
must have two names, and it was sug-
gested that ne should take his former
masters surname, as many had done.
He refused, because he didn't like him.
The Board inquired his fathers name.
It was Tom. BE suggested that his
should be Bob Tom, but the Board said
that one ought to be a surname. The

A PAGE FROM THE HISTORY OF Gen.
PORES VIRGINIA CABIPAIGN.-In Harp
er's Monthly for November, ''Porte
Crayon" General Strother) continues
his personal Recollections" by giving
his experience in the Virginia campaign
Of General Pope. AS Mr.. Fitz John
Porter has lately directed public atten-
ton to this campaign by his petition
for q new trial, the testimony of General
StrOther, who served as one Of General
Pope's staff officers, may be Of some
value and interest. He was one of the
many staff officers sent to accelerate the
tardy movements of Porter toward the
front, having been dispatched, on the
morning of the 29th of August, with a
written order to Porter TO move his
corps on CentreYille without delay, as a
sanguinary battle was expected on that
day.
This was the day when Jackson was
so severely punished, and When-in
Gen. StrOther's Opinion-"but for the
failure of Mcdowell and Porter to reach
the field, we should certainly have de-
stroyed Jackson" He enters in his
t'Porter, who received the order carried
by myself (this morning at sunrise) to
move on Centreville, and second order
at Manassas, turning his course
toward GrOvetOn, showed no disposition
to assist in the fight at all, but he laid
tie all afternoon. His conduct is indig-
nautlY denounced, and there is some
talk of q summary arrest"
General Strother says of the battle Of
August 18th: f'WibhOut hesitation or
delay all the troops Immediately under
Gen. POpe's eye were thrown upon the
enemy. All day long the roar of mus
kerry and cannon, like the sounding of
a mighty gong, invited the absent to a
feast of death and glory all day long
the white battle-clOud, visible from hill
and plain for twenty miles around,
beckOned to laggard and skulker, to
the exhausted soldier who had dropped
behind his 1egimen5. to the starved
chieftain who may have mistaken his
way or misunderstood his orders; all
day long the anxious commander count
ed the minutes, and urged his legiOns
to a succession of brilliant but exhaust
ing attacks, vainly listening for a burst
from the enemy's right and rear which
was to give us the victory"

THE PRoGREss OF FREEDOaI.-Even
under the despotic rule Of the Emperor
Of Austria, it is impossible to resist the
advances Of the democratic spirit. By
a recent law of the legislative assembly
at Vienna, not only is the equality Of the
various nationalities composing the en-
pire established, but the right of free
assemblages Of the people, ofthe freedom
Of the press, Of the freedom Of worship
which has hitherto been in the hands
of the clergy, is a part of the fundament-
al constitution. Austria, by these re-
forms, is made in reality more free than
France, where the right Of meeting, of
the press, and of religion, are still in
the hard grasp Of the government.

In Nutt1ng Time.

With lingering gliutB Of gold and red
The waning autumn woods are gay:
And in the deep blue overhead
The sun shines clear and soft to-day.
The late OctOber winds are bland,
Their voices whisper low and SWEET
While far away the blue hills stand
with valley V2E9oEs round their feet-
Across the azure OF the sky
The milky cloud-shapes, wandering, sail :
SouthTgard the rowing song-birds fly,
And from the Etubbie pipe the quail.
Along the winding path we go,
Through fields in which the aster mods;
And over breezy slopes where grow
The YellOW-pa1nted golden rods
Along the path By fAId and hIlI,
With many q llE iy-spoken lest.
Past golden orchard rows where still
The robin shows his crimson breast
Until at the woods we gain,
And there with shout and crashing sound
We beat the boughs till downward rain
The uDened nuts upon the ground.
All other sounds around are hushed,
There Is no note Of any bird;
But thrO' these aisles with autumn flushed
Our voices far and wide are heard.
With lingering gliuts Of gold and red
The waning autumn woods are gay.
And though the summer months are ned,
Our hearts make summer OF to-day.

upon it, sketohed the view and won his

A WARNING TO EARLY RIsERs.-The
recent life of Josiah Quincy has the
following good anecdote: One day,
day, Mr.. John Quincy Adams, who was
addicted to the same vice of intemper-
ate early rising, with much the same
consequences, was visiting my father,
who invited him to go into Judge StOry's
lecture room, and hear his lecture to
his law class. Now Judge Story did
not accept the philosophy Of his two
friends in this particular, and would
insist that it was more excellent way
to take out ones allowance of sleep in
bed, and be wide awake when out Of it
which he himself most assuredly al
ways was. The Judge received the two
Presidents gladly, and placed them in
the seat of honor on the dais by his
side, fronting the class, and proceeded
with his lecture. It was not long before,
glancing his eye aside to see how his
guests were impressed by his doctrine,
he saw that they were both of them
sound asleep, and he saw that The
class saw it too. Pausing a moment in
his swift career of speech, he pointed to
the two sleeping figures, and uttered
these words Of warning: Gentlemen,
you see before you a melancholy exam
pie Of the evil effects of early rising :"
The shout of laughter with which this
judicial ObiteT dictlt2p was received, ef-
fectualIy aroused the sIeepers, and it is
hoped that they heard and profted by
the remainder Of the discourse.

''There is food enough for reverie in

Conquerer for those who cherish histor-
ic memories. Men built well in his
DAYS, and here we look still on the very
lines they conceived, the stones they
piled In the vast nave, the LOFTY walls
the noble transepts. There are neglect
and dust there are the traces Of yio-
lent ravagen, Of war, Of revolution bat
there is no mean attempt at restor-
alton to vex us, and no profusion Of or
nament to distract. Outside, Nandal-
ism has been active and mothodical In
constructing even more than in destroy
ing; bat within, this finest and most
ancient Of the Norman basilicas has
suffered chiefly from being let alone"

MAKE A NOTE ON'T.-Every unhung
traitor from Kentucky to Florida, and
from Delaware to Texas, receives the
news of the Republican losses in Ohio
and Pennsylvania with screams of de-
light. If Wirz and Wilkes Booth were
living, they would build bonfires in
honor Of the victories of their Demo-
cratic friends. Mr.. John H. Surratt, as
the periured Democratic Jurymen called
him, who refused to pronounce him
guilty on the most overwhelming evil
dence of guilt, and Blackburn, the
wouId-be murderer of the "innOcents, !"
have both received this glorious cleo
ton news with unspeakable joy.
When the news of the assassination of
President Lincoln reached Halifax,
Nova Scotia, a large party Of high-tOned
traitors decl1ed out the blockade run
ner "ColOnel Lamb" with rebel flags
and streamers, and prepared on board
for general iOllificatiOn. On the same
day, and on the occasion of this assas-
sination, other chivalrous rebels at st.
John, n. b., celebrated this Southern
victory by a general spree and drunken
carousal. Next to an assassination,
nothing better pleases a defiant rebel or
malignant COpperhead, than a DEM
ocratic victory. Columbus Journal.

And eyes Of heavens blue.
All for q little dfmpled chin,
A round throat, snowy fair,
A darling mouth to dream upon,
And glorious golden hair.
All for q tender, eOOing voice,
And gentle 6uttering signs,

For q hand as white as snow,
