The tolls, the wars, the Watehings, Of oul

Still as the Old World rolls In light, shall
ours in shadow turn
a beamleSs chaos, cursed OF God, through

Where the far nations looked for light, a

Where FOR words Of Hope they listened, the

The Crisis presses on us-face to face it stands
With solemn lips of question, like the

This day we fashion Destiny, our web Of
Fate we spin;
This day for all hereafter, choose we Holt
Even now from starry Gerizim, or Ebaps

We call the dews Of blessing, or the bolts of

By all for which the martyrs bore their
agony and shame;
By all the warning words OF Truth with
which the prophets came;
By the future which awaits us by all the
hopes which cast
Their faint and trembling beams across the
blackneSs of the Past;
freedom died;
Oh, ye people! Oh. my brothers! choose
ye the righteous side!
So shall the freedom lover go yoyra1 'S5ls ms

Grants Brains.


tits a matter of regret to Gen. Me
CIernand that the Soldiers and Sailors
Convention omitted toIB indorse his
claims to the gratitude Of the country
as the real captor of Vicksburg, and the
hero of nobody knows how many other
victories which mankind,persist in att
tributing to Gen. Grant. But this is a
long-standing coInpI amt of the gallant
general of volunteers. 1t was his fovor-
ite boast during the war that he "furn-
ished the brains of Grant" though he
gave but little evidence of having any
brains of his own. At the battle OF
Champions Hill, in Nav. 1868. Grant
JnOugn ne Eenu MN repeaE6d orders,
and 50 the opportunity of5capturin all
Penn berton's army was nfss ed. In the
second assault on VickS burg his false
messages to Grant added greatly to the
losses of the day. Grant said Of him in
his report to Gen. Halleck HHe is en-
tirely unfit for the position of corps
commander, both on the march and on
the battlefield. Looking after his corps
gives me more labor and infinitely
more uneasiness than all the remainder
of my department" Finally, McCler-
nand issued bombastic order Indirect
" eensuring Grant, and claiming all
the credit of the successes which had
been gained before Vicksburg instead
of sending it to his superior fficer, as
do, caused it to be published in the
newspapers. He followed this act of
nsubordination by a still more in
subordinate message, and, ON the in
dignant remonstrance of Sherman and
MCPHERSON, Grant then relieved him of
his command. Who planned the Yiclxs-
burg campaign ought to be pretty well
understood, we should think, since the
publication of the celebrated letters
from Sherman and Lincoln to Grant af-
ter the victory. MeClernand had exN
planned his own plan to the President,
and it was not adopted. Mr.. Lincoln
also had plan, and that was not adopt
ed either. And Lincoln's letter to
Grant on the capture of Vicksburg
closed with these generous words 81
now wish to make personal scknowl-
edgement that you were right and Twas
wroug.' McC1eruand never was anYA
thing but a charlatan and q braggart.-
He was appointed a general solely for
political reasons, and the Government
paid dearly for making such a mistake.
ffIt has been said of this sagacious COM
mander," remarks a recent historian
of the iVieksburg campaign, "that after
the receipt of orders to execute a good
movement, he not unfrequently wrote
to his Commanding General advising
the same movement, antedating his Lett
ter, and carefully forgetting to mention
the instructions already received. IN,

Frank Blair,s Fenfan Speech.


In the SUNNI er of 1865, Frank P.
Blair, now Democratic candidate for
Vice-President, made speech at st.
Louis, in response to a serrnade by a
Fenian procession. The Boston Trav-
eller has fished up a full report of the
speech, which was as follows
"GENTLEMEN I am with you heart
and soul, and heartily say, God bless
the F'innegans,' A vOice-'Fenians,
General.'l 1 know what am talking
about, and say Finnegans. LLRug hter
and cOnfusion.1 And I say that [ hope
to see the cause flourish and prosper,
and shall bless the day when Ireland
| is governed by Irishmen. In accom-
pIishing this laudable undertaking,
l will do a II. can to assist you, l
will place myself if needs be at
your head, march with you to
Staten Island, oversee your embarka-
ton, Will stand on the most elevated
bluff OF the coast, and as you raise the
green emblem over the stars and
stripes, while your steamers nnder full
headway are turning their powers TO
the east, will say good-by God bless
you, and may you be successful in your
undertaking. May you lift the British
lion out of his boots, and wrest from
his grasp the emerald gem of the sea;
but whether or not you shall succeed
in this endenvor, may you each and all
remain n Ireland or elsewhere, and
never again set foot upon these shores
You are wanted there, and we can get
along without youp'
Here Frank was choked off and
and hooted from the stand.
