David Wills, Esq, President Of the
National Cemetary Company, says in a
letter to General Fitzhugh Lee :"There
has never been any action by the Board
Of Managers of the Soldiers National
Cemetary Company here in reference to
the disposition Of the remains Of the
Southern dead lying on this battlefield
Neither is there any action contempla-
ted. The charter of the Association
provides only for the interment of the
retnaius of those who fell in defence of
the Union
"rhere should be something done
with The remains of the Southern
soldiers. There afo about 600 marked
graves, and these are fast becoming OBJ
liberated Their names might be pre-
served, ahd the remains gathered
together into cemetary or burrying
ground, if any one would take the mat

less generously aiaedby friends through
out the South They offer ample
grounds in their ceuletary, and also the
aid of their association to prosecute the
work, should it be found practicable to
remove the bodies to Richmond.
To accomplish this purpose, means
must be raised by the earnest efforts Of
the survivors Of the Confederate army,
the mothers, and sisters, and fathers,
and brothers, and friends of the slain.

A SMILE.

Slowly, slowly up the wall
Steals the sunshine, steals the shade;
Evening damps begin to fall, J..
Evening shadows are displayed.
Round me, Ger me, everywhere,
All the sky is grand with clouds,
And athwart the evening air
Wheel the swallows home in crowds.
Shafts Of sunshine from the West
Paint the dusky windows red;
Darker shadows, deeper rest, ....-.
Underneath and overhead.
Darker, darker and more wan,
In my breast the shadows fall;
Upward steals the life of man,
As the sunshine from the wall.
From the wall into the sky,
From the roof along the spire;
All. the soul of those that die
Are but eunbeams lifted higher.

American Books In England.


English importations of American books,
unlike English importations of American
gold bear but very slender ratio to the books
that come from England to the United States.
By returns just completed of the exports and
imports, we find according to messrs. Samp-
son Low, Son s. Marstons Monthly Bulle-
tin, that the whole value of American books
imported into England during last year (ls67)
was CT, 522 or nearly $4,000 in the year less
than the amount imported from Holland !
while the amount of books to the United
States during 1867 was fl69, 81, being rath-
or better than one-fourth the whole of books
exported to all parts of the world during the
year Messrs. Low q Co. pay this country
the following appropriate compliment and
tack tito an appropriate promise:
ono country in the world produces so
many books of which whole editions are adapt
ed 10 England rs America. American trans
lations of valuable foreign works also are in
advance ofus. American enterprise and in
dustry areevcr on the alert to seize the best
ideas of foreign writers, and often before we
see the original foreign books we have offered
to US by American houses irst-rate editions,
in our own language, of the best French and
German writers on chemistry, mechanical
engineering, fbrous and textile manufactures,
architecture and ornamental designing, etc.
1t will be our aim to bring these regularly
before the public, and facilitat" in every way
the sale of original American copies, rather
than unnecessarily reprint them for this
market ~
