"Let us have peace" our noble chieftain said,
And to his prayer our hearts respond, amen;
''Let US have peace" the gracious words be sped
On wings of light Ger every hill and glen.
Let zephyrs wait them Ger the Western plain,
Let the waves sing them on our Eastern shore,
Let the Pacific echo back the strain;
And let the Southern groves, as incense, pour
Upon the air, to them, perfume forevermOre.
No longer hideOus, desOlating war,
When brothers play with death a losing game;
When slaughtered legions sleep from home afar,
Their country's liberty their only fame,
A nations saviors their immortal name.
Nolonger bosoms filed with hate ard pride, 20.
Nor hearts unkindly girt with enyiOus bands
That wrath and fierce ill-wil be laid aside
COlumbia's brave, heroic dead demands.
Across their eloquent graves let North and Soutl
shake hands rs ID
So shall the desert blossom as the rose,
Our fields rejoice with rich abundance crowned
Our night be turned to mornings golden glow;
And with content shall happiness abound.
Let us have peace, for he who said it bought
The boon for us, that now we so much want
He'll work for this as bravely as he tonight,
And with the same success we will supplant
His phrase by saying; Let us have U. B. Grant

THE hardest dig givenin the Pendle.

THE hardest dig givenin the Pendle-
ton doctrine of setting the greenback
mill at work manufacturing paper mon
ey wherewith to level off existing finan-
cial inequalities, was by Horatio Sey-
mour, in his New York speech, Thurs
day night when he said this:
''If we debase the currency by un-
wise issues, we shall equally perplex
business and destroy sober industry, and
make all prices mere matters of gamb-
ling, tricks and chances. This will end
as it did in the Southern Confederacy.
At the outset the citizens of Richmond
went to market with their money in
their vest pockets and brought back
their dinners in their basket; in the
end they took their money in their
basket, and took home their dinners in
their vest pockets"

Gen. Grant as the World saw him
before his nomination:

headed as to see nothing great in Gen.
Grant beyond his marvellous tenacity Of
viii, let that doubter explain, if he can,
how It has happened thai; sincs GTant
rose to high command, this quality
has always been exerted in conspicuous
energy precisely at the point on which
everything in his whole sphere Of OPer-
atoms hinged. There has been no dis
pIsy of great qualities on small coca
sions; no expenditure Of heTculean ef-
fort to accomplish objects Of ths first
magnitude. Il is only 8 very clear
sighted and very comprehensive mind
that could always thus have laid the
whole emphasis of an indomitabls soul
so precisely on the emphatic place.
How, if he be not a general Of the first
order of intellect. as well as the most
heroic determination, does it happen
that in assigning great and brilliant
parts to his subordinate commanders,
he has nersF, when the results Of his
strategy were fully unfolded, appeared
in the picture except As the central
figure9 However it may 1eem during
the progress of one of bis great COM
bined campaigns, it always turns out at
at last, when It reaches that complete
ness and finish in which he contFiyes 70
have his campaigns end, that We see
him standing in the foreground, and
that the grouping is dWays such that
the glory of the other generals instead
of ecHpsing his own gives il addi-
tional lustTe It is this sursness Of
Judgment which sees precisely where
lies the turning point which sses pre-
cisely what are the objects that justify
the utmost stretch of persistence; it Is
this ability to take in The whole field of
view in just perspective and due sub
ordination of parts, that is the mark Of
a superior mind. Gen. Grant has
taken out Of the hands Of all critics the
question whether it belongs to him.
He has won his greatest triumph over
the most skillful and accomplished Gen.
eral on the other side; over a general
who foiled him long enough 70 prove
bis great mastery of the art Of war; and
the completeness OF whose defeat is a
testimony to Grants genius such = VIC
tory over any other General IN the Con-
fsderaey, or even an earlier victory over
Lee himself, could not have given. Ap-
ply to Gen. Grant what test you viii;
measure him by the magnitude Of the
obstacles he has SurmOunted, by the
value of the positions he has gained, by
the fame of the antagonist over whom
he has triumphed, by the achievements
of his most illustrious co-Workers, By
the sureness with which he directs his
indomitable energy to the vital point
which is the KEY OFFS vast field of op-
erations, or by that supreme test Of

How the FOurtll Of-JmIy was
Celebrated by the ,KusKIux
in Tennessee -. fnOffenSiVe
Union Men Dragged from
their Homes and BeateE.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July

From the Chicago Tribune.l
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July z.
The night of the 4th Of July was eel,
ebrated in many places in Tennessee by
monstrous Ku-KIux parties, accompani-
ed by the usual outTages upon Union
men and negros. Large bodies oflthese
friends of the New York Convention
-parsded in Maury, Giles, Rutherford
and other counties, in some places more
than four hundred strong. At about
ten o'clock at night force estimated
at between 200. and 500, entered
ShelbyYille, Bedfog3 county, dragged
Mr.. ]. @. Dunlap from his house, took
him into the street, stripped and tied
him and inhited upon him two hundred
lashes. Mr.. Dunlap is white man, a
teacher Of freedmen, and has maintain
ed Aourishing colored school in
Shelbyville for two years past. He
sustains the character Of quiet, inofFsn-
siye man. It is the opinion Of his
physician that he cannot survive his in-
juries. . t-Er,a
On the same night the same body of
men whipped negro named J. Whis-
uer in a most brutal manner.
1t is asserted that the rebel citizens of
ShelbyyiIle gave the Ku.Klux decided
encouragement while in the town. The
excitement created in the county was
intense, and a number of the freedmen
have fed to Nashville. Two colored
refugees came into the city to-day from
Gibson county, West Tennessee, to ask
protection of the government. They
state that negroes are whipped aud
killed at pleasure in that county by the
Ku.Klux, and that the civil authorities
afford them no kind of protection.
A gentleman who was, during the
war, high officer in the Confederate
service, and whose business led him to
travel extensively in Middle Tennessee
during the summer, states that there is
. widespread determination among the
young men of the Confederate army in
this State to inaugurate war. In reply
to the argument of cooler men who
have endeavored to dissuade them from
their purpose, and induce them to
abandon their organization, they say
"You managed the war before and we
obeyed you; now we intend to manage
to suit ourselves" l have this from a
high source, from a gentlemen who has
never been Radical. It is his opinion
unless the most vigorous measures are
adopted to destroy the Ku-Klux organi-
zstion in this State, the most bloody
consequences may be anticipated.

An attendant, at the South Boston
Hospital for the Insane, reports a re-
cent conversation between two patients.
They had entered into an argument re-
lative to the difference between riding
e horse and hobby, and contending
that there was none. The other re-
piled that there certainly was; and up
on being called on to define It, said
Those who ride q horse can, stop and

sible to do So ~. i

a REoEETLT an old gentleman Of eccen-
tric habits, John Younghpeband, died
at Abbey Holme, Cumberland, Eng
land. The Silloth railway runs through
part of his property, an arrangement
to which he was passionately Taverse ;
aud though years have elapsed, his
bitterness was in no wise assuaged.
In his will he leaves 91, 900 to a solicit
tor who opposed the making of the
railway; the rest Of his money he be-
queaths to a comparative stranger upon
the following condition: That the lega-

of the railway; that he never travels
upon it, that he never sends cattle or
other freight by it; and should he yio-

reverts to the ordinary succession,

THE BAREFOOT BOY.
By WHITTIER.


Blessings on thee, little man, -.
Barefoot boy, with cheeks Of tan!
With thy uptuTned pantaloons,
And thy merry whistled tunes
With thy red lip, redder still
Kissed by straw berries on the hill
With the sunshine on thy face,
Through thy torn brim's launty grace;
From my heart I give thee joy
I was once barefoot boy.
Oh, for bOyhood's painless play
Sleep that wakes in laughing day
Health that mOcks the doctors rules
knowledge, never learned at schools,
OF the wild bees morning chase,
OF the wild flowers time and place,
Flight of fowls and habitude
Of the tenants Of the wood
How the tortoise bears his shell; -..s
How the WOOdchuck digs his cell,
And the ground-mole sinks his well;
How the robin feeds her young,
How the orioles nest is hung;
Where the Whitest lilies blow;
Where the freshest berries grow;
Where the woodruff trails its vine.
Where the wOod-grapc clusters shine;
Ofthe black wasp's cunning way,
Mason of his wall Of clay, +t .-
And his architectural plans
Of gray hornet artisans --
For, eschewing books and tasks.
Nature answers all he asks;
Hand in hand with her he walks.
Face to face with her he talks.
Part and parcel of her joy
Blessings on a barefoot boy!
Cheerily, then, my little mani
Live and laugh as bOyhOod can;
Though the finty stones be hard, -r--t
Stubble spread the new-mOwn sward,
Every morn shall lead thee through
Fresh baptism Of the dew;
Every evening from thy feet
Shall the cool wind kiss the heat,
And too soon those feet shall hide
In the prison cells of pride;
Lose the freedom of the sod
Like a colt for work be shOd; sEr
Made to tread the mill of toll,
Up and down the ceaseless mol.
Happy if the track be found
Never on forbidden ground! -rr
Happy ii they sink not in
Quick and treacherous sands of sin;
Aye! that thou should'st know thy iov
Ere it passes, barefoot boy

ran into it, and before it would be got
out was so much burnt that it had to
