LOVE FOR THE DEAD.-The love
that survives the tomb, says Irving, is
one of the noblest attributes Of the
soul. If it has its woes, it has like
wise its delights; and when the over
whelming burst of grief is calmed
into the gentle fear of recollection,
then the sudden anguish and con-
vulsed agony over the present ruins
of all that we most loved are soften
cd away into pensive meditation and
all that was in the day of its love-
illness. Who would root sorrow from
the heart, though it may some
times throw a passing cloud over the
bright hour of gaiety, or spread n
deep sadness over the hour of gloom
yet who would exchange it for even
the song of pleasure or the burst of rev.
elry? No, there is voice from the
tomb sweeter than song; there is re-
membrance of the dead to which we
turn even from the charm of the liv-
ing.

Yatiie Of Lard In tennessee.

The monthly report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for March, iss-
ued by the United States Govern
ment Commissioner of Agriculture,
has the following:
"Our returns, from Tennessee indi-
cate a general decline of fifteen to
twenty per cent. i'm the value of farm
lands, as compared with the census
estimates of 1860, though several
counties report no appreciable change
while Others report an active advance
of two to fifteen per cent. The heav-
lest decrease is reported from David
son and Henry counties, being about
fifty per cent, though the former re-
port few sales ut reduced rates, unless
under cOmpulsion, while in the latter
the decline is attributed to "the di-
lapidated condition of houses, fencing
and the wild growths consequent up
on the war, together with high taxes,
etc. Weakly and Meigs report 40 per
cent. decline; Rhea and Lincoln, 33 !;
Haywood, 80; Hawkins, Monroe,
Polk, Coffee and Perry, 20; Hickman
16; BledsOe and Giles, 10; Greene, 3
to 8; while Williamson, Union and
McNairy remain at about the same
figures as i'm 1860; Montgomery re-
ports 2 per cent. increase; Sewer and
Campbell, 10 per cent; and Marion
from 10 to Is per cent. Our Rhea
correspondent says: "The great bulk
of land in this county for the last fif-
ty years has been in the hands of a
few owners, and it increases in price
when there is little tax to be paid,
and 1nnraasaa xyban tho tawas ara
greater; hence the present decline"
The same general causes, however,
which have tended to depreciate real
estate, and particularly farm lands,
I'm the Southern States, have operated
in Tennessee, though not to the same
extent, nor is it probable that re-
turn to former values will be so long
delayed, there being less necessity to
sacrifice and not so strong disposi-
tion to sell at any price,"

PASS HIM ARoUND.-Maj. j. l..
Wofford, of Tishomingo county, has
accepted the nomination for Congress
from the First Congressional District
on the Radical ticket! He was an
officer i'm Wither's artillery regiment
during the war. He was noted for
his tyranny over the brave soldiers
placed under him, was always n cod
fish aristocrat, n brainless and bigOt-
ed fool, and has turned out just about
rs might have been expected. If he
should be elected, and take the "iron-
clad" oath, we wish to inform our read
ers that he will be perjured scoun-
drel, and fit associate for the leading
Radicals who call themselves the
Congress of the United States. We
are responsible for what we say
There are those of the Wofford stripe
i'm this community who would sell
not only their birth, but even their
souls for mess of Radical pottage.-
They are few, but we intend TO watch
and expose them, let the consequent
ces be what they may.-PdnOtd Star.

to see those thousands under the

1t was grander to see how Iiobly they
conteuded, II was grandest of all to
see how glorioiisly they died. But it
was terrible to think of the thousands
OF homes represented on thc battlc[

of suspense in every one of these
homes: terrible to think of the little
children gathering around their
mothers, theirfather died, and asking
with such simple pathos, "When will

many of you bereft of fathers-you
loved the Cause; you looked prouder

all Is over and ell Is lost, secure in
your innocence, you are not ashamed
to call yourselves little Rebels! You

carry the memories Uf your childhood

what these memories may accomplish
In the future?
Yes; to their honor he IL proclaimed,
while yet there was hope of triumph,
the women and children of the South
were as true to us I'm their homes as
our soldiers i'm the field; and now,
when the shadows of defeat, upillu-
mined by q single glimmer of hope,
have gathered over our dcsolate land,
they love the Lost Cause more deeply
and intensely than ever. TO them

will stand guard around them. 1t IL

and they whisper to those who des-
pair, 1T is not dead-it only sleeps"

war, partly invented by the Emperor
Napoleon 'Imagine coffee mill
half a yard I'm height, with an open
ing at the top halfa yard i'm diameter.
Into this the cartrouchs are shOveled,
and by means Of wheel turned by n

strument lets a single uartouche fall
into each of the eight barrels of the
'Mitrailleuse.' These barrels are about
a yard in length. AS the trigger falls
ON the cap IL closes the barrels, the
shots are fired, and the wheel, In
turning, re-opens the barrels, recocks
