10 more on lies parade sllalf meet
Tie brave and daring deWs
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread 20.
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The blTouac Of the dead. -
No answer to the foe ssdvanee
NOW sgTells upon the wind
No troubled thoughbat midnight haunts,
OfloEed ones LEFT behind;
No vision otthe morrow strife .
The warriors dream alarms
No brayfuE horn nor screaming flfe
At dawn shan call to arms
Their alivsred swords are red with rust,
Their plg1Ened heads are boWed,
Their naughty banner, fEailsd in dust,
Is now their martial shrOud
And pIenbeous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And their proud forms in battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing steed, the flashing blade,
The Gruudp pets stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shouts are past;
Not wars Wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall I'll with fieucs delight,
That breast that never more shall feel
The rapture Of the nglat.
Like the dread no -thern hurricane
That sweeps his broad plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet TO gain,
Came down the ssTried f1ds
Our heroes felt the shock and Ieapt
To meet them on the plain;
And long the plying Sky 1sfl11 Wepf

She claims from war herFichest spoil
The ashes Of her brave.
So meath their parent turf they rest,
Far 1r0n the CORY Held
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast,
On many a bloody shield
The sunshine Of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred hearts and eyes watch by
The hero's sepulchra,
Rest on, eLnbaIned and satnted dead
Dear as the bloody brave;
No 1InplOus footsteps here shall tread
The heritage Of your graves
Nor shall your glory be forgot

When many a vanquished age hath flown,
The story how ye fell
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters blight
Nor times remorseless doom,
Shall dim one ray Of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.

Senator Ross's Defense.

It is known that Senator Ross wrote
repeatedly to his friends in Kansas, af-
ter the close OF the arguments on the
Gmpeachment) trial, that he favored
the President.
II is known that he so expressed him
self again and again to persons in
WasbingtOn-among others to his col
league, Senator POmerOy, and to the
Leader correspondent, Gen. II. V. N.
BOyntOn.
Ii is known that on the night preced-
ing the vote, he declared urqualifiedlY
his belief that the President was guilty
as charged in the eleventh article Of
impea chment.
II is known that on the next day he
voted. upon oath, that the President
was not guilty under that article.
IL is known that money was ready in
Washington to effect such changes of
opinion as this.
To this array of facts what does SEN
atOr Ross reply simply that these
facts are true-that he did change his
mind, and that he had a right to. lie
does not tell us what caused this won
derful revolution of opinion. He does
not tell US what sudden access Of light
like that which overwhelmed and con-
verted Paul, flooded his mind between
midnight of Friday and the following
noon. He gives no reason whatever tor
his change, but only claims the right
to make the change. This is truly re-
markable plea, and no one can read 10
without feeling his suspicious of foul
play in the case grow stronger.-CteUe-

Colored Men as Voters in the South
ern States.


The Albany Georgia. Ne,5s, a dem
ocratic journal, wrote after the recent
election In Georgia, and the Atlanta
IntetljganceT, another democratic jour
nal, copied without sign of disap-
proYal, the following reflections upon
the results of this first election in that
state in which the colored men voted /:
early in the canvass we appealed to
the white people Of Middle and Upper
Georgia TO save Southern and South
western Georgia from the horrible
fate that threatened. Heavy majori-
ties for radicalism were naturally eX-
pected from the black belt, and for
the same reasons that induced this
conviction, the white settlements were
expected to go democratic. We are
astonished at the reversal Of this nat
ural order of things, and feel so keen
ly the deep disgrace aud stinglnG hu-
initiation, that we dare not indulge
our inclination to write.
At on time we entertained a pur
pose to change our base, in the event
of radical success, and seek repOse
among the white people in a different
portion Of the state; but the develop
ments of the election have fastened
upon our mind the conviction that the
negro is 4 better man than the white
scaiaWag, and that we should suffer by
the change. There seems to be as
much political virtue and integrity
among the colored people ofSouthwes-
tern Georgia, as exists among a large
portion OF whites in Middle aud Up
per Georgia, and we would proudly
assert that they are safer custodians of
the franchise. We see noreason lon-
ger to oppose negro suffrage, We are
disposed to make him a voter ia order
to rescue the state from carpet baggers
aud scalaWags." "
A considerable number of white
Georgians, il seems, voted the Repub-
lioan ticket, while number of the
blacks voted with the Democrats and
thereupon follow these words of the
democratic writer. It would seem,
then that the true qualification for
voter is that he shall vote the demo-
cratic tioket-N Y, Posi-

General Manderson as an Advisory
Delegate. "


General Charles r. AIanderson, bet
ter known as the fighting Colonel of the
gallant old 18th Ohio Infantry, and one
Of the best Ohio soldiers of the war, was
placed by the recent "COns erYabive
SOldiers' Convention" which met at
Columbus a fortnight ago, upon the
list of delegates to the Conservative
Soldiers and Sailors Convention at
New York on the 4th of July next
which is to be n sort or hand-organ ac-
compartment to the National Demo-
cratic Convention. WhereupOn the
General, who is a Grant and Colfax
man from the top OF Lis head to the
sOles of his feet, takes advantage of his
position as an advisory member to give
the following advice, through the Col
umbus Journal, to the Democratic sol
diers:
5dUise that if there be such scarcity
of material among the late Federal sol
diery of Ohio that the Convention is
forced to go into Radical ranks to Sc
lect representatives, that it 90 into
one of tour erring sister States" and
make choice of some who wore the
grew, to respond on the fourth day of
July at New York, when the roll of
Ohio's delegates is called.
/ ddUI8e that the rebel Eorrest-the
modern Herod, who massacred the in
nocents at Fort Pillow, and whose
name was cheered by Conservative
Democratic soldiers in convention as
sembled at Cleveland, would be prop
er man to represent Conservatism.
1 abuse that, ''for the cultivation of
fraternaI feeling and complete forget
fulness of the "late little unpleasant
ness" there be union of those three
Conservative societies-the VIII te Boys
in Blue, the Knights of the Golden Cir
Gle, and the Kuklux Klan.
1 adUiSe that Democratic CCnserva-
tism form its ranks this fall to make
the fight against Grant and CoIfax un-
der the old colOrs, the ''stars and bars"
aud under the old leaders, the rebel
general Lee and JEFF. Davis.
Lastly, let me GdUise that I propose
10 continue to fight on the old line,
and vote and work for Grant, Colfax
and Victory.
This is pretty good advice, and we
commend it to the minds and hearts Of
the DemOcracy.-Cye CyeUelaHd Leader.

A plaque of loCustsf is securing the
island OF Sardinia .7l'FOWards the end of
April the municipality Of Sassari pub
lished a manifesto Offering seventy five
centime5 for every lBilOgra mme of To-
Gusts brought ia, The result Of this
offer WIS Gn average supply for several
days of forty hundred weight per day
in three and q half days ten Thousand
francs having been thus paid away.
Then the reward was lowered to fifty
centimest per kilO; and, unluckily, this
reduced tariff was applied to several
sacks of locusts which had been brought
im the day before the abatement had been
made known. This exasperated the lO-
Gust gathererB, and strike emsued. A
letter from SassaFi says: fHU-F. eE
"a day lost meaDs so many myriaGlB
Of iocusts rescued from determination,
and capable Of oyerrunning the whole
island. No one can form an idea of
the thing without seeing it. If the hunt
be not resumed to-morrOWy in a few

meadows, the young shoots Of the vine,
utterly destroyed throughout the whole
plain of the 6assarose. The munici-
paliby has opened subscriptions for a
loan of cne hundred thousand francs.
But this will certainly not suffice. If
the government does not come t0i
the assistance of the parishes, contrib
uting Rhare of the expense, It may
give It's tax-gatheEsrs in the Island Of.
Sardinia a holiday for this year"

GOOD BYE.-It is hard word to
speak. Some may laugh that it should
be, but let them. Icy hearts are never
kind. It is a word that has choked
many an utterance, and started many a
tear. The hand is olasped, the word
spoken, we part, and out upon the
ocean Of time we 60 to meet again,
where, God only knows. It may be soon;
it may be never. Take care that your
''good-bye' be not cold one, it may
be the last you can give. Ere you meet
your friend again deaths's cold hand
may have closed his eyes and chained
his lips forever. All he may have
died thinking you loved him not.
Again, It may be long separation.
Friends crowd around and give YOU
their hand. How you detect in each
''good-bye" the love that fingers there F;
and how you bear away with YOU the
memory Of these parting words, many
days.
We must often separate from those
we love when 1t Is hard to part. Tear
not yourself away with a careless bold
ness that dehles all love, but make
your last words linger-givs the heart
It's full utteranCe and if tears TALL, what
ofitf Tears are not unmanly.

Cen. Grants Aooeptanee.


Gen Grants letter ACCEPTING the
nomination is the first public distlnct
utterance Of political sentiments and
opinions which he has made since he
has acquired national position, he
had previously stood Identified with
the Republican, party only by his militia
~ career and his official acts. His let
ter is emiuenuy judicious, cautious,
pertinent, pointed, comprehensive, and
Satisfactory. Some Of cur Uotem pora-
ries are disposed to cDnstrus the eXhOr-
tatiOns TO "Peace," " which are the only
reiteratiOns it contains, as indicating
an implied Tebulze to Fthe advocates Of
impeaBhm6nt. They infer therefrom
that Gen. Grant would have political
peace and quiet at the cost of submis-
sion tc, the usurp rpationsi of q misguided
and passionate President. To test the
accuracy Of such views it is only nee
essary TO reflect that the Resolutions Of
the Convention declare that Johnson
was Justly convicted Of high crimes and
misdemeanors by the votes of 35 Senae
tors, and that Gen. Grant not only en-
dorses the resolutions but commonds
them for their wisdom and moderation.
Gen. Grant also promises to admins
ter all the laws with the view of Civ
ing pe1ce, quiet, and protection every
where" This seems tOinaply that in
those sections where State Governments
may fail in securing protection TO ,theI
weak, Gen. Grant VIII see that The
shield OF the national Strength Isl
thrown over them. The eXperiehoe of
past administrations proves the wis
dom of his reservation of the right to
90 forward with the people in adopting
new policies as new emergencies arise.
In view Of these contingencies his
pledge returns TO the simple promise
TO respect the will of the people. Mr..
CoIfax,s views on every political issue
were already so well known TO all that
no letter of acceptance could make them
more explicitly understOod.-N =

How the Great paiiies are Printed.


Few persons are aware of the fact
that our principal morning journals
are not printed directly from The tyDe,
but stereotypes taken from the regular
forms. The whole time consumed in
making plates of the four pages Of the
New York Sun is about twenty min
utes. It is accom- p1shed thus; Each
page is made up in separate form on
q table in size and height expressly
adapted for the purpose; the legs of this
table are furnished with castors, and as
soon as the form is looked the table is
rolled into the stereotype room. The
form. is then removed to. the mOlding
table; the latter has a hollow iron bed
which is filled with steam, as heat Is
ore of the requirements in facilitating
the operation. After the right tempera-
ture is attained, the form is removed
again to the imposing table, and two or
three sheets of a peculiar kind Of paper
is laid over the surface Of tue type, and
they are then beaten down with brush
in the same manner that printers pro-
ceed in taking a brush proof The form
is then again carefully slid up on the
moulding table, another and heavier
sheet Of paper placed over the first
this is covered with a wet blanket the
whole slipped under the press attached
to the mOlding table, and the power
applied. This is done almost instantly,
when the form is again run ont, and
the paper peeled of is a complete ma
tTyE of the whole form. A preparation
Of French chalk is now applied to the
surface of this paper, when it Is
placed into the mould, the hot metal
poured against it and the plate almost
instantly formed. Itis now removed
to the planer, is out, routed, and justi-
fed, and in a few minutes is on its way
to the press room. These plates are
cast in the exact form required for a
cylinder press, and are about half an
inch in thickness,
