ELOQUENT EXTRACT.

sIn the very year the rebellion ended,
sbroueh their Constitutional Conventions and
legislatures, the Southern people amended
1beir Constitutions and laws aboshiug slavery,
abandoning the doctrine of secession, repudiat-
inc the rebel debt, and in short giving every
guaranty which men could give. that they sub
mitted with a spirit of loyalty to every agowed
purpose of the war. But the Republican party
had not the wisdom or patriotism to accept the
8 omission of the Southern people and restore
the Union. And that party, while forcing apon
the Southern people, as they are ROW doing, ut
the point of the bayonet, u system OF rotten
boroughs to be- represented in Congress by
Northern Manufacturers and Plantation Ne
sroes, is losing its hold upon the Northern
States. Like the dog in the fable. it drops the
substance to snatch the shadow. They attempt
I'd to force upon them the infamous COnstitu-
tonal amendment, which, by it's terms, pre-
scribed from holding any office, high or low,
State or Federal, practically, every man who
was of age in the Soath when the war broke
out, and who was fit to hold Office So sweep
eng was this prescription, that Gems. Meade,
Scho6ell aud C,nby have since severahy Of
ticially recorded that it was impossible to ad-
minister the Government in the Southern
States while executing that clause of the pro-
scription. The Southern people did as the
Radical leaders knew they would, and intend
I'd they should, rejected the amendments, and
they acted like men in doing So. Applause.
Let US ask ourselves whether ii the North had
rebelled and been conquered, the South had
offered us reunion ON condition that We should
prescribe from ever holding office In our State,
cverywhite man among US, who could read and
write, we would ourselves have accepted our
own disgrace and Acknowledgement. (Noices-
No, no, do No, genlemen, no people who
are fit To BE- free, would themselves with their
own hands put on their own necks the yoke OF
slavery. (Applaase.) And so far from the re-
lection OF the amendment by the Southern pco-
pe being just cause of complaint thereon.
they would have been vsorsis ouly of the con.
tempt and scorn of all high.mindcd men had
they accepted it,
The above is an extract from the speech OF
General Thomas Ewing, gallant Union officer
during the war, delivered before the Soldiers
and Sailors Convention in New York City on
the 4th of July last. Il expresses The senil-
N ,nts OF the great body of the brave and pa
triotic Union soldiers in the United States
who conquered the rebellion, and learned IN
lard fought battles 10 admire their courageous
aud misguided toes, and who are now una.l,
ling to trampe upon PROSTATE enemy. Gen.
EH3ng's generous and truthful views are
strange contrast with the slavish and iyrauncaI
demands OF the Radical bomb-proof majority
II Congress, as expressed BY their dIabchcal
!aaders-Steyeas, Butler & Co.

WOMEN AS PRINTERs.-The Round Table pub
lisbes the following note from one of the most ac-
complished printers in New York-the superin-
tendent of Messrs. Gray & Green's large estsb-
lishment:
Dear Sir-Looking over the Round Table yes
terday, observed that in your paragraph on the
World and female compositors you made q some
what misleading statement, to-wit: Z" A part Of its
1.-THE Round Table's) composition at all times, and
more or less of its proof-reading, have been done
by women" whstever credit may be due to any.
body for the typographical accuracy of the Round
Table is certainly not due to any of the female
compositors or proofreaders who have been en-
ployed on il. Very little composition has been
done by females on the Round Table-not in the
aggregate, over q single number of the paper.
AS regards proof reading, have found no one
though l have tried q good many ladies who
be willing 10 intrust with the commonest work,
much less {" reading so intrinscally troublesome
as that of the Bound Table. r.ls
OF course, 10 making this explanation do not
imply that women cannot attain ability in either
of the occupations mentioned above. Far from
il. But there must first be q realization oa their
part that something more than few weeks train
ing is necessary to enable them to compete with
men who have given several years to the acquis
ent, there are probably not over half dezer lady
compositors In this city to whom should be will
ing to pay the amount usually paid to ordinary
workmen.
If Miss Anthony, who seems to have taken the
lady compositors in hand, would only impress
upon them the necessity of being thorough, she
would confer great boon on those who wish to
open all possible avenues Of employment to
women. Yours, respectfully, JOHN Ross.

By GEORGE W. YLLIorr.

The twitteripg swallows whirl in rapid fight,
Then backward turn, to liDger DER the scene
Endeared through all the glsdsome summer time
In council ere they wing to southern climes.
A leaden gray DER all the sky is cast,
And gathering mists bedim the morning sun.
Across the fields the cowboys home ward feet
A green trail leave upon the frosty grass.
The ripened apples bend the orchard boughs,
Or lie In fragrant piles beneath the trees.
Hard by the farmhouse gr0ans the cider. press,
While amber currents fill the vat below.
No tint Of emerald green upon the lawn,
In early spring which faulflees Nature paints
With brush Of sunbeams dipped Ia morning dew,
Nor yet the hues Of fast succeeding flowers
That spangle DER the meadows newest dress,
Are lovelier than the rich and changing dyes
That beautify the early autumn leaves.
The maple soft, upon its tender top,
And, by degrees adown its graceful form,
Reveals light bat deepening crimson tnge,
Out-rivalled only by the modest blush
That comes and goes upon maiden's cheek
When first she hears the earnest vow of love.
The flaming ivy, twiniDg round the elm,
An emblem seems of ruined purity,
That in its deep despair still closely clings
About the parent of its wrongs. The tips
OF golden-rod like funeral tapers burn
Amidst the melancholy scenes OF death,
The sturdy oak IN robe Of purple stands,
An earnest mourner overwhelmed with grief
Himself the wasting victim of decay. IA .t..
The hickory seems with golden pendants hung
Fit emblems here Of mortals' brightest hopes,
That soon, like Dead Sea fruit, to ashes turn.
The hardy hemlock and the towering pine
Alone retain their spring time loveliness
And stand unchanged in the surrounding gloom,
Like noble principles and lofty aims
Amid the ephemeral foliies Of the world.

The shadows of the little wood
Closed round rs In the burning noon'
The lucent shadows of the leaves
Yet tender with the green Oh june
And there. while In q happy dream,
We wandered in ward from the sun,
Winding and turning ct our will.
The famous story was begun
A story prodigsl of love, .
or youth, and beauty born of youth;
OF sorrow tempered bv romance,
And trial gleri6ed by truth
Long. long ago It all had Glanced
Or WAS it hsply passing then!
It might be true OF any time
since women were beloved Of men.
/ listened, yet did not heed;
A ripping voice was all heard,
That, softly csdenced. had for me
The music Of singing bird.
The tale went on, the voice heard,
Yet all that recall is this
That earnest face, those dreamy eyes,
The little mouth too sweet to kiss.
The tale went on, with many pause,
With FREQUENT outbursts Of delight,
As breaks and openings of the wood
Its hidden beauties gave to sight.
A pheasant CLEANED across our path,
A squirrel shot a sudden turn,
And now the cuckoo sang, and now
We waded coolest breadths Of fern.
The little wood was long to cross:
Its winding paths were hard TO fnd;
And hours had fed ere we emerged,
And left its pleasant gloom behind.
And then beside the rustic fence,
whence spread the meadows many mile,
We liDgeredlidly hand in hand
And perhaps the tale went on the while.
The evening shadows heightened out;
The heavy rocks winged home to nest;
The little who'd was fringed with light
Against the fercely flaming west.
The sun set in feecy haze,
Through Ssrs Of crimson and Of gold;
The sky grew cool, the stars came out,
And yet the story was not told

Mr. EditOr-Several of your correspondents,
very old and respectable, no doubt, seem TO be
wonderfully exercised IS to the origin of our
Plantation Bitters. So long as these BItters are
all that we represent them to be. we do not know
that il makes any differences from whom they
come, or from whence they originated; but, for
the information Of the public generally, anil old
Capt. Weftz in particular, we viii say that he
told the truth and that these Bitters originated 10
the West India Islands that many Of the Ingre-
~, but that our combination of Calisay Is entirely
new, and our own. The rum and other materials
are the same, and, as your correspondent says, 8
better bitters and tonic Is not made. We recon-
mend them particularly for dyspepsia, fever and
where tonic ard stimulant is required.

VIC lemaihinS SOUTHERN states, although they
will have more power in the senate than ma
jority of the people of this unicn living in nine
OF the great states. In vain members of the re-
publican party have protested against the policy
that led to this result. While the chiefs of the
late rebellion have submitted to the result of the
war, and are now quietly engaged in useful pur-
suits for the support of themselves and their
families, and are trying by the force of their ex.
ample, to lead back the people of the south to
the order and industry not only essential to their
well-being, but to the greatness and prosperity
OF our community, all see that these men, with.
out ability or influence, have been thrown bv the
agitatfons of civil commissions into positions Of
honor, OF profit, and are striving to keep alive
the passions to which they owe their elevation.
and clamoronsly insist that they are the only
friends OF our union. Proof of that can only
have sure foundation in fraternal regard. and
common desire to promote the peace, the order.
and the happiness of all portions of our land.
Events in Congress, since the adjournment Of
the convention, have vastly increased the i'm.
portancs of political victory by those who are
seeking to bring back economy simplicity. and
justice in the administration of our national
affairs. Many republicans have heretofore oluny
to their party who have regretted the extremes
of violence to which it has run. They have cher.
ihsed faith that while the action of their
political friendshad been mistaken, their motives
had been good They must now see that il
cannot carry out peaceful policy, whatever its
motives may be. 1t is a misfortune, not only to
country but to governing party itself, when
its action is unchecked by any form of opposition
1t has been the misfortune of the republican
