When our feet were as feet OF the dancer,
And the tones of our voices as song,
when the light was too fleeting for pleasure,
And the darkness tor slumber too long,
We were glad and rejoiced in our being;
Our hearts we're e1ultant in praise
For the rapture Of loving and living,
And the infinite joy Of our days.
Now the fervor of life has departed.
We have emptied the gourds Of delight;
We complain to the night, ait is weary"
And we CRY OF the day, at is night"
We are guests who have risen for going,.
And our hearts only quicken with praise
For the languor that cometh OF living
And the torror with ending OF days.

"Upon flmes eternal clmpins grou.d
Their silent teuts are spicad
And honor guards Wiz sJieun round
! he bivouac Of the dead.
But, nv friends, our Confederate cause is
lost. The sword of the peerless Lee rests idly
in its scabLard, and tic sabreS OF our dashnS
Generals arc rusting III their scabbards. We
stand by the grave Of our lost cause and high
aspirations, and the tendency is TO loso our
selves in vain regret and 10 grow nervclcss i'll
painful reflections. But the claims OF the liv-
ing-thc demands OF the hour-arc pressing
upon w., and it becomes us promptly and
bravcly TO meet the duties and tho RESPONSE
bllities OF the present.
For one, am not disposed to take dead
issue from its grave. | acctpt the results OF
the war, and stand now upon those living and
vital Issues that have since sprung up-sprunS
upon the country, North as well as South, by
that party which, having become the deposito-
ry OF all the malice, cruelty, hate and vengeance
engendered by the war, seeks, by means foul as
we'll rs fair, to rule OF ruin bleeding land.
But what, it may be asked, arc these results
scttl, d by the war, to Which have advcrted !?
answer, that they are contained in the qucs-
tions Of secession and African slavery. From
the first battle Of Bah hun to the end of the
war, the United States Government made
pledge after pledge, that its object was not 10
destroy the Southern States, but 20 compel
them to acknowledge the authority of the
Union. Upon this plelgc, they called upon
the Northern people to contribute men and
moucy to the war. Upon this pledge, they
called upon the Southern people to lay down
their arms. Upon this pledge, they wardcd of
the intervention Of foreign powers; and 1t was
uron this pledge, given or implied, that Lee
at Appomattox, Johnston at Greensboro,
Taylor in Mississippi, aud Kirby Smith in lex
us. surrendered their armies and folded their
colors. LII the spirit Of this pledge, we be-
licve that Grant AID Sherman met Lee and
Johnston.
Nor was President Johnson unmindful ofthis
pledge. lie regarded the Southern States as
Still III the Union, and holding that, under The
constitution, the constitutional power OF the
State resided ID the white people thereof, he
proceed d to carry out The reconstruction pro-
gramme as laid down and begun by MIR. Lin
coin. Accordingly the sovereignty OF the
States was evoked, ard conventions of the peo-
PIE "ere ordered. The conventions assembled;
the situation was gracefully accepted; the do
mands of the Executive wero compiled wi. h,
aud an era ofpcace, prosperity and harmony
seemed about to dawn upon q distracted and
shattered country.
But a; this poiut, the fell spirit Of Northern
sectionalism, embodied in the Republican or
Radical party in, exposed, and changed the en-
tire current Of reconstruction. The leaders OF

CASE OF Mr.. SpEKE. referred a day or

Of England, as an existent case of disappearing
Individuals who vanish mysteriously, and are

not we'll be classed with these, as he has finally,
after two months, or more, of wandering over
England, re-appeared, (something like our own

planned his movements during that time. This
unfortunate gentleman, who is seemingly in
sane, Was possessed Of desire in leaving his
friends, as appears from his own statements,
to get to some country where nobody knew
aa9yhing..about him, SO that he might work for
his living and preach the Gospel to his fellow
laborers: y The Cornish police overhaulcd the
reverend fugitive at place called Padstow, and
are to have the reward promised for his discov-
