An Eloquent Appeal to Soldiers

The following extract from the call o.
the Soldiers and Sailors National Ex-
ecutive Committee for the Convent on
which assembled at Chicago on Tue sday
last, is as pertinent now as before the
Convention:
Treason defeated in the field mus
not rule at the ballot box.
Opposed to you are arrayed the late
Confederate army of the South, and
their more treacherOus allies, the Cop.
perheads of the North. They conformity
seek to distract and divide the friends OF
the Union.
but yesterday they were using the
bullet to overthrow the Government to-
day they are using the ballot to control
II.
"They fought TO keep the rebellious
States oul of the Union they are now
voting TO accomplish the same results.
"They would make loyalty a crime
and treason respectable.
"They would, dishonor the loyal living
and make infamous the memory of the
patriot dead.
They have organized midnight
'Klans." and made assassination a
trade.
"They have revived the spirit of the
rebellion. aud renewed its atrocities aud
crimes.
Those enemies of the North who are
ready TO clasp the hands Of unrePented
rebels in the South have persislenIly
opposed you through the war.
They discouraged enlisIments, leav-
ing you unsupported in the most trying
exigencies. They lbelIed the national
credit, that they might diminish the
sinews Of war aud subject you to privat-
ions and bardshps; as mobs they fought
against you in our streets, dlyerJing the
troops needed in The field to watch and
restrain their p.oItirgs. They have
closed the door of public Office against
the wounded soldiers. and opened It 70
the scurvy politicians.
Comrades, you are the victims Of
these malign aud treacherous Influences
yours Is the power to correct them.
"Let the same spirit that guided you
in war counsel you in peace.
1--WE urge upon you unity and action.
"The loyal strength of the nation
must move and act with unbroken col
umns, and newer victories will reward
the same cause for which you have made
so many sacrifices.

The Song Of Grants Soldiers.

Pile on the rails Come, comrades ell,
Weil sing song tonight
Tomorrow, when the bugles call,
Be ready for the fight.
Be ready, then, with wild hurtah
To battle or to die;
When Grant shall yield, the Northern Star
Wall fade from out ths sky.
Hurrsh Harrsh HurrahI
Before US lie the rebel host,
Their watch 6res We can see;
We laugh 20 hear the traitors boast
Of Southern victory.
Three cheers for Grant, and one more cheer
Until the woods ring back
All we'll the rebel chief may fear
The bloodhound on his track.
Hurah! Hurrahl Burrah
In freedoms cause our blades were drawn;
The traitor yet shall feel
Before the day of peace shall dawn
How strong is Northern steel.
Three cheers for Grant my gallant men
Give thres loud roaring cheers,
Until the foe, within his den
Shall tremb Ie while he hears.
Hurrahl Hurrah Hurrah
Thus far we've come through FIRE and food
Still further on vel press,
Although the way be red with blood
As trough the wilderness.
Then cheer, brave comrades, let the night
Ring with your LOAD hurrabs
Fer Grant, whO knows so we'll to Sight,
And tor the Stripes ind Stars.

An Editor In Disgrace.

The veteran of the lobby, Thurlow
Weed. might get himself into as bad a
scrape as be chose, and few would regre
it. But we confess some regret that the
veteran editor. Weed. has got himself in
so discredltable a fix. In his testimony
be swears that he met in a room with
certain persons 10 talk about impeaCh-
ment; that one Of them had already pro-
posed 10 buy the votes of three Senators,
and had thereupon been introduced by
him to Collector Smythe-a man who
would be likely to have money to spend
for that purpose One of these persons
was a well known lobbyist, and cOnnec-
ted with the whiskey ring; one was an
editor of the same paper with Mr. Weed
and also experienced in lobby matters
and the third was a United States rev.
enue officer. This precious quartette
talked about getting money to influence
votes, and Mr.. Weed uttered not a word
Of objection. They raised the money
communicated from time to time on the
subject by telegraph to Mr.. Weed, who
states that he did for them what they
asked, and knew that sit was about i'm
parchment" and finally they succeeded,
and sent jubilant dispatch. BuI Thur
low Weed. admitting so much, cannot
perceive that bis own integrity is in any
way involved. Perhaps long experience
has led him to look upon the buyer of
perjured votes as perfectly saintless
person, and to ascribe all the blame to
the worthless wretch who accepts the
bribe There are not many men in the
country, let US hope, who would be will
ing to be known as having been eoncenrn-
ed in snch a transaction.

Earnest ThOnghts.

From discourses, by James Hamilton,
d. d. of London:
Those of you who are familiar with
the shore, may have seen attached TO the
inundated reef a crealure-whether a
plant or animal you could scarcely tell
rooted to the rocks as plant might be-,
and twirling its long Ieniacula as an an
imal would do. This plant animals
/ life is somewhat monotonous, for is has
nothing to do but grow and twlrl its
| feelers. float IN the tide. or fold itself up
on its foot stalk when that tide has re.
ceded, for months and years together.
Now. would il not be very dismal to be
transformed into a zoophyiel But what
better is the life you are spontaneously
leading? What greater variety marks
your existence than checkers the life Of
the sea. .anemone! Does not one day
float over You after another, Just as the
tide floats over 1t, and fad you much the
same, aud vegetating still F.? Are you
more useful? What real service to
others did you render yesterday What
tangible amount Of occupation did you
overtake in the one hundred and sixty
eight hours of which last week consis-
ted! Aud what higher end in living
have you than the polypus? +?
Amidst the importunate solicitations
of daily business, many of US must accuse
ourselves Of unfailhfuIness to the dead /;
and when tranquil moments call up their
familiar images, we marvel how we can
deal so treacherousIy with the great and
good departed. Vanished from our
view, expunged from our correspondence
dropped from our very prayers no longer
expected as visitors in our homes, It is
marvellous how faint and Intermitung
their memory has grown; and we up
braid our ungraieful fancy that it pre-
serves so li.Ile space for old benefactors
and the onCe-cherished friends of our bO-
som. But the same fate awaits our
selves, we TOO are going hence, and when
we are gone,
"a few will weep little while,
Then bless our memory with a smile."
One or two may cling to it with tender
fondness, while existence lasts but even
with friends afectionate and true, ten
derness will soon soften into resignation,
and resignation will subside into content
ment will dull away into sheer forget
fulpess.

Who was Nina
Well Nina was Nina.
Well, then. she was, with her father
and mother, child then Of three years
old, on board the ship going out. and
took fancy to Sam and Sam to her ;
and when the ship was wrecked off Cape
Patton he had managed to SWIM to shore
with her. The father and mother were
both drowned, and the child thus saved
became his, and he took care of 1t; and
this was Nina bis little niece or daugh-
ter, aud nurse and everything.
Old Mr. Hazel insisted on their stay
ing until they could move to the old place,
bought by Sam, and so they used to idle
away the time, those three drones, all
day long.
Nina, as became her Italian nature,
could do nothing but gather flowers and
sing and dress herself; and Sam said
be had worked so hard on land, he wan.

and then Nina wanted taking care of.
and Polly went with them. After a
little, Sam got cross, and ate nothing,
and took long walks, and long rides, and
drank vinegar, and talked in low tone
of voice, and stammered. and blushed,
and then left off kissing Polly at night,
and then left off kissing Polly al all, and
then. one day, Polly found herself cry
ing in his arms, with her tears being
kissed away, before she well knew how
she had come there; and after that Sam
talked loud, and smoked, and left off
drinking vinegar, and behaved again
like a rational being, so much so that
one day be was allowed to take Polly to
church, and have an interview with The

So soon as any Southern Convention

is the first rock in its course, and if it does
not founder on it, it beats about in distress,
and cannot clear it for days, or weeks. The
North Carolina Convention is having the
same pecuniary trouble as the one in Geor-
gia, and. like it, will probably spend "$2 900
per diemn for many days, in seeing whether
it can get any per diem at all. MIR. Bottle,
public, treasurer of North Carolina, has 'sent
in an able communication. giving his reasons
why he cannot pay the Convention its per
