The indianapolis correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial says: On Saturday
night, Bcauregard, Basil Duke, jesse d. Bright,
and anumher of Morgan's men, passed through
the city, returning from the New York Conven-
ton. Not one in the party was in the least en-
thusiastic over the nominations. Bright, in
particular, was Disguised, and he tried in vain
to find words to express his disgust. Beaurc-
gard had little to say to the several snobs who
were anxious to scrape an acquaintance with
him. Morgans men had enough to do to talk
over the incidents OF a visit they paid our city
before this " cruel war was over"

A western reporter gives the following
glowing description OF conflsration: "The
devastating element, unsatisfied with floods
of water, belched forth its crimson tints, and
spread the fiery flag ofdevastahon over entire
squares, unchecked by the snperhnman ex.
spirits in the halls of pardemonium, as they
hocked around the terrific spectacle.

Who is this ruddy young YoEMAN,
So hardly toiling field,
Forcing the bosom of nature
Her wealth and abundance to yield?
When the hot rebel artillery
Our battle fields iiercely poughed through
Furrowing the field of Antietam,
This was one of the Boys in Blue.
Who is this dcxtcrous JOINER,
AT work with his scriber and square,
Blocks rude and rough hcwn transforming
10 shapes so syn'nctric and fair?
Through that dread week, when our heroes
No respite nor faltering knew
Till the grand rally at Malvern,
Strove he, clad i'll patriot Blue.
Who is this man in his Smithy,
Making such musical clamor,
Red in the g low of his furnace,
Plying the anvil and hammer?
Once when the bolts Of destruction
Like hail.tempest murd rously flew,
On the red plains Of Cold Harbor,
Wrought he with his brothers in Blue.
Who is this BUILDER, whose trowcl
Rings clear through the echong air,
Swapping the brick and the marble
In temple and tenement fair?
High. piercing the battle cloud through,
Rung with our wild cheer of victory
Charged up this brave Boy Of the Blue.
Who is this servant of study,
Exploring with questioning eyes,
Midst the stored wisdom of sages,
And seeking like them to be wise?
On Gettysburg's glorious hill tops,
Where triumphed the brave and the true,
Battling where battled the bravest,
lie too was a warrior in Blue.
And who is this fatherly gray beard,
And who this fair boy at his side,
Like Autumn and Spring keeping cadence,
And marching in soldierly pride?
Wherever our heroes pressed onward,
The march or the battlefield through
There joined the wrinklcd and rudy,
Their hearts like their colors, True Blue
And all these stout children of labor,
Soundhcarcd andlskilfnl of hand,
The soil and the ocean subduing,
True lords of the sea and the land
Twas these gainst the traitorous toeman
The sword Of the patriot drew,
Twas these crushed the hosts of rebellion,
Yes. these were the brave Boys in Blue
And now is the conflict all ended,
May freedom have respite from strife,
Have rebels no squadrons to rally,
Has treason no lingering life
Nor yet has the battle cloud vanished.
Nor yet, shining placidy through,
Beams heaven on freedom triumphant
There work for you yet, Boys in Blue
Though not with the bayonet and sabre,
On fields rich with patriot blood,
There still lives IL foe TO be vanquished
And treason must sill be withstool:
The ballot must follow the bullet,
Your hearts must be steady and true:
Once more You must rally for freedom
And smie down the foe Of the Blue.
The wretches who smiled on the focman
And .chcered when he heaviest smotc,
To. day will you make them your masters
Shall they win n patriots vote?
They spuyned you while your starry banner
TO triumph in blood you bore through:
,Spurn Item! cringing now for your favor,
And vote as you fought, for the Blue!
While you were the enemy driving,
And pouring your blood on the field
Their councils were plotting your failure,
And bidding you cowardly yield:
Can these be the friends Of the soldier,
Are patriot honors their due?
Charge boldly! and send them all whirling
Before your free votes, Boys in Blue?

Is station OIL the Eastern Shore Railroad,
south of Princess Anne. Several northern
farmers are settled in this ncghborhood who
have commenced the raising of truck, vege
tables and fruit, which has made it quite a
business station, indeed the same may be
said of Kingston, Marion and Hopcwell,
stations still further south. A new railroad
is now much talked of and | believe initia-
tory steps have been taken towards the con-
s,ruction Of the same, to run from Westover
to Newtown, q distance of about sixteen
miles No doubt movement will then be
made to extend this branch on down the
Peninsula to Cherrystone Inlet and the dis.
lance 10 Norfolk by water made about sixty
miles shorter.

Named after the Hon. j. W. CrsGeld,
situated at the terminus ofthe Delaware and
Eastern Shore RaiF Dad, has grown to be a
place of considerable importance. The
whalves of the Railroad Company extend n
considerable distance out into the Cove be-
yond the shore, where the larger steamers
that ply between Clisfeld, Norfolk and BAL
tmorc can find sufficient depth of water
Lots on each side of this long extended
wharf are sold at almost fabulous prices;
piling is then driven into the bed of the
sound, upon which quite large number of
companies buildings, houses, stores etc,
are erected in a neat ANY. substantial man
ner. Upon this piing is situated the Gus
tom House tor this district where a large
amount of business Is done in the way Of
licensing vessels Mr.. Hanson Lawson is
the Collector of the port, and VIM. j. Law
son and Mr.. Hodson, formerly Of the Som
erset Herald, assistants.
The Country around Crisfeld is very thick
ly settled and in high state of cultivation.
1t ranges in price from 100 to $50 dollars
per acre the farms are small and owned by
the persons who till them. This too, is
part of Somerset county, bat marked diff
ercncc is observable between the general
appearance of the country about Crisfeld,
compared with the country about Princess
Anne. The question arises, what has made
this difference? l know not, unless it is be-
cause there were no slaves scarcely at the
former place.

THE PURPOSE OF CONGRESS.

The Fortieth Congress is evidently at work
preparing the way for Grant, and legislating
with such due precaution as not on the one
hand to excite his jealousy or incur his hos
tility, whilst on the other they intend to use
the wisps of Delilah as that he shall be shorn
of all real strength, should he at any time
become refractory in Radical harness.
1t is plain, as we are told by the New York
Hor1d's Washington correspondent, that the
double desire to please and to guard Grant
Influences all measures offered OF likely to be
offered. For instance, Georgia is to be re-
cast, Virginia to be put in the mouds Of in
ccpiive Statehood, Texas and Mississippi
are to be stimulated into speedy rcorganiza-
ton. The Southern question is to be so fixed
this session as to require from the new ad-
mnistraton only the execution of such acts
OF the forticth Congress as the Fortv>6rst
Congress will not repeal. Nothing is to he
left to the option Of the next Executive =
The laws arc to be literally obvious and nm,

humanity i'll their execution is to be prevent.
cd in advance. Tho Congress is to fix the
future beyond contingency, if may be- The
motives TO this exactrcss and thoroughncss
proceed from the fact that this Congress has
the requisite two.thirds to override a veto,
and the next will not, as well as from the
consideration that the present body take a
pride in impressing as much of their policy
and acts as possible upon the future Hence,

Undoubtedly, too, some amendment pro-
posing universal manhood suffrage will be.
pushed through the Republican Congress and
the Republican Legislatures this winter, of
which the effect will tell in all subsequent
elections. The naturalization of foreigners
for the future is to be castrated of its tradi-
tional simplicity this session. Thus the de-
sign of these and similar propositions is sOwn
to-day what must spring up tomorrow. The
next administration will be met on the thresh-
old with programme of proceedings cut
and dried by Legislature, which will have
then ceased to be. Nothing is to be kept to
be done by the Forty>frst Congress which
can be done by the Fortieth.

is 1T TRUE9

The st. Louis Times is credited with tho
report that General Grant, when in that city
last, intimated to friend his intention to offer
General Lee seat in his Cabinet. We are
inclined to the opinion that it is nothing more
than a report, but if it should prove true,
there are many who will be agreeably disaP-
pointed in the policy of the President elect,
and many more who will be 'on the contrary
quite the reverse"
Such an act, if Grant have the magnanim-
lily to perform it, would do more to heal the
wounds made by the late fratricidal war than
all the enactments of Radical Congress
from now till the crack of doom. 1t would
prove that Grants aspirations for "pcaee'
were sincere, and that he at least was resolved
on having, not merely Union in name but
fact.

Accident on the North Central Railway

Twelve miles from Harrisburg, on the
North Central railroad, leading from Balti-
more, on. Monday night, the engine Lady
Washington was standing on the track and
the cngineman was looking at his watch, when
the northward train ran around the curve
To avoid collision then was impossible, and
the cngincman and fireman both jumped from
the train The fireman of the Lady Wash
ingtou was instantly killed, and that engine
was crushed. At the moment of tie collision
the boiler exploded, and only fragments of
iron and brass could be afterwards found,
though with them the ice in the river was
literally strewcd. The smoke stack was thrown
to distance of one hundred yards into the
river, and the tender, a crushed and shapeless
mass, was thrown down the bank and into the
river. The train northward consisted of the
locomotive and tender, three express cars, and
several passenger cars. The locomotive was
broken to pieces the express cars, which
were laden with oysters for the West, were
destroyed one passenger car was broken to
pieces and several others crushed and run into
each other. How many were killed and
wounded could not be definitely asceraincd
last night, but the number was said to be
thirty-five. The scene is said to have been
appalling, and for some time there was but
little assistance, as the point where the catQs-
trophe occurred is only a water station, and
there arc very few habitations around. The
damage to tho company will probably be
between twenty thousand and thirty thousand
dollars-BGuimorc Gazette, 16M
