A WASHINGTON special to the Cincin-
natl Commercial, dated the I9,h, says
Great excitement was created IN this
city tonight by the announcement, in
an evening paper, with positive assu-
RANGES Of the fact, that Secretary Nc
CullOeh had to-day handed to the Pres
ident his resignation IS Secretary of the
Treasury. Your correspondent called
upon Mr.. McCuiiOch tonight for the
purpose OF verifying the statement, and
was informed that the assertion was not
only untrue, but that be, the Secretary,
had no intention of resigniDg at present.
BE stated, however, that each of the
membres OF the Cabinet held himself in
readiness to resign whenever the Presi-
dent should desire it. 1t is probable that
no changes Ia the Cabinet will be made
for some time, if at all during the sum-
mer."

Poetry
OUR CHILDHOOD.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.


IT'S sad, yet sweet to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew SO well;
To gaze out on the even,
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyhood's wish
10 roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladness.
That cling around the past
And from the tomb of feeling M .
Old thoughts come thronging fast:
The forms we loved so dearly
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
SO fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this;
Whose dark, soft eyes seemed swimming
In sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Ger broWS so sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the Spring time of the year
Like the changeful CLEANS of April.
They followed every tear
They have passed-like hopes-away,
And their loneliness has fled;
Oh, many a heart is mourning
That they are with the dead
Like the brightest buds of Summer,
They have fallen with the stem;
Yet, oh it is a lovely death
To fade from earth like them
And yet the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away!
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast
Like the tendril of the clinging vine,
Then perish where they rest.
And we can but think of these,
In the soft and gentle Spring,
When the trees are wavering DER us,
And the flowers are poisoning:
And we know that Winters coming
With the cold and stormy sky,
And the glorious beauty round us
Is budding but to die!
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1868-10-30

ROLAND For AN OLIVER. Cen Early was
a queer genius in many respects, as the fol-
lowing anecdote will freely illustrate;
It is well known that at the battle at Fish
er's Hill the old gentleman met with severe
disaster, losing most of his commissary,
quartermaster and ordinance stores, and that
consequently his troops suffered no little on
their retreat from that Inflated field. His
men had been marching for twenty four
hours, weary hungry and footsore, and as
was generally the case under such circum-
stances by no means in a very good humor
Their wrath very naturally centred upon
cold Jubal,' y and when they saw him in the
distance the cry Immediately arose along the
whole line, s'Crackers p crackers" crack
ersF Ten thousand voices re-echoed "crack-
ers crackers! crackers p The old veteran
stood it as long as he could, but after pass
ing about one half the line he could no lon
ger suppress his anger. But rising in his
stirrups, he shouted at the top of his voice
Fishers Hill, G-.d-m you" The cry of
crackers was not heard again on that march.

The Famous apple Tree.

Inv isppEC HUI.
The Montgomery I'icuyuae cotains an in
from which we take the following
s'Every now and then we see in our ex-
changes erroneous descriptions of the surren-
der at Appomattoz, and how Gen. Lee
stood and surrendered under an apple tree
how Gen Grant admired Gen. Lees
beautiful sword, and returned it remarking
that Lee was too brave a man TO be without
a weapon, &C., &c.
Gentle reader none of these things hap
pencd. Lee did not surrender under an APP
pie tree. He did not offer his sword to
Grant. Grant did not admire the weapon
and return it. If our readers will bear with
us, we will give the surrender as we saw
it.
* 3 ''Gen. Lee viewed the hope
less conflict from a distance, dispatches a
flag Of truce to Gen. Grant, the struggle
ends, and the hostile lines are drawn back.
While this correspondence was going on,
and while General Lee Was waiting the az
rival of Gen. Grant, he took shelter from
the sun under an apple tree in McLane's
orchard, under which Col TaIcot, of the
engineer corps had placed some rails for a
seat and fully half mile from Appomattox
Gen. Grants arrival on the outskirts Of the
army was soon announced. Lee in full
suit of gray, with his English sword girded
to his side, riding forward on his grey to
meet Grant-he was warrior to whom
history itself might stoop to gaze The in
terview between the opposing chieftains was
simple, but few attendants present. 1t took
place between the pickets Of the armies and
lasted only few minutes Grant apollo
gized for not having his sword which was
behind in the wagon. The terms were
agreed upon, and Lee rode back to his army.
Commissioners on either side were appointed
to arrange details. The surrender became
known; and then, to US for two days a
blank. Lists Of our names were made out,
and two days afterwards with heavy hearts,
we filed by, brigade at time, before line
of captors, and deposited our banners and
arms. Gen. Lee rode homeward on the third
day, and all was over
