The National CeMeterieS--Half .
Million or Federal Dead.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Commercial gives q
synopsis of Adpt- General Thomas
forthcoming report In regard to the
National Cemeteries.
The total number of white officers
and soldiers known and unknown
buried, Is nearly 500, 900; the number
Of colored soldiers nearly 50,0O0-

penses attending the burial or rein
terment Of these bodies and the lay
ing out and improving Of the Nation-
nj Cemeteries, has reached S6l,O0c,-
600, and he estimates that It will cost
1000, 900 more to complete the work
and keep the National Cemeteries, of
which there are thirty-fve, In good
order. At oil these National Gene
terles there Is o keeper and assistant,
and the expense attending the caro-
OF each cemetery will average from
81 800 TO 80, 600 per annum for salaries
alone, while the other expenses will
reach $50, 900 per annum. 'i aEi"
All the cemeteries In Tennessee
were marked out by Majors General
George II. Thomas, and are situated
near the scenes of the battles amer
which they are named. There are
seven Of them, and the report declares
them the finest In the country. At

No CHINESE WANTED IN TENNEs-
sEE.-In the Tennessee Legislature,
on bill Incorporating the Nississip-
pi Valley Importation Company, an
amendment forbidding the importa-
ton of Chinese into Tennessee was
adopted--yeas fifty-three, nays Il fifteen.
Now, as the majority for the amend
ment comes from the conservative or
democratic party, we infer that this
party In Tennessee Il satisfied with
the negro for laboring purposes, and
Is afraid Of the risks Of mixing him
up with the Chinese. We had sup
posed that the Southern democracy
were generally in favor Of introiuc-
ing the Chinaman, for the purpose Of
roofing out the African by cheaper
labor and by a race nearer the white
man. This vote, however, In the
Tennessee Legislature indicates diff
forent sentiment, or the beginning Of
Southern reaction against the chi.
naman and In favor of the African,
which is after all, perhaps, II good
sign In bohalf ~ harmony between
the Southern white aud black races.

Death Of . Free Gove ,r.u.

=
The following is from a speech de.
livered by Hon. d. w. Voorhees,, OF
Indiana =
1t il q melancholy spectacle TO be-
hold free Government die. The
world, 1t Is true, Is filled with eviden-
ces of decay. All nature speaks the
voice of dissolution, and the highway
of history and of life is strewn with
the wrecks which time, the great des-
poiler, has made. But the hopes of
the future, bright visions of reyiv wing
glory, are nowhere denied to the heart
of man, save as he gazes on the
downfall of legal liberty. He listens
sorrOwfully to the autumn winds as
they sigh through dismantled forests,
but he knows that their breath will
be soft and vernal in the spring, and
that the dead flowers and withered foil
age will blossom and bloom again. He
sees the sky overcast with the angry
frown OF the tempest, but he knows
that the sun will reappear, and the
emblazOnry of God cannot perish. -
Man himself this strange connecting
link between dust and Deity, totters
YEARLY, YEARLY onward under the
weight Of years, and pain, towards
the tomb, but how briefly his life
fingers around the dismal spot. It Is
filled with tears and grief, and the
cypress gather around IL with their
loving but mournful embrace. And
Is this oil d? Not SO. If a man die
shall he not live again +? Beyond the
grave, In the distant Aidenn, hone
provides an elysium of the soul, where
the mortal assumes Immortality, and
life becomes an endless splendor. But
where, sir, In all the dreary regions OF
the past, filled with commissions, wars
and crimes, can you point your
finger to the tomb of free common
wealth on which the angels Of ressur-
rection have ever descended, or from
whose sepulchre the stone of despo-
tism has been rolled away? Where,
in what age and In what CLINE, have
the rains Of constitutional freedom
renewed their youth and gained their
lost estate? BY whose strong grip
has the dead corpse of the republic
once fallen, ever been raised !? The
merciful Maker, who walked upon
the waters and babe the winds be
still, left no ordained apostle with
power to wrench apart the jaws Of
national death, and release the vic
tim of despotism. The wall of the
heart-broken over the dead Is not SO
sad to me as the realization of this
fact. But all history, with q loud,
unbroken voice, proclaims 1t, and the
evidence Of what the past has been
Is conclusive to my mind of what the
future will be. Wherever In the do
main OF human conduct q people once
possessed of liberty have surrendered
those great gifts of God at the com-
mand Of the usurper, they have never
afterwards proven themselves worthy
to regain their forfeited treasure.

rluE KISSING DxAceS.

In one Of our puritanicxl towns of
New England, says an Eastern pa
per, lived Deacon Brown, very
staid, ligniiies. sort Of q Christian, n
perfect model Of pruprfety. Deacon
Brown had the misfortune ~ lose his
wife, and at the age Of forty had
found himself with family % four
small children, without q mistress to
his farm house. AS he could not inn
mediately take another wife amt
avoid exciting scandal, and could not
get along without some one TO take
charge OF the kitchen and nursery,
he had recourse ~ employing q young
woman as house-mafd.
Nancy Stearns was q laughing,
romping beauty, who delighted In
experimenting upon the Deacon, by
way Of testing the strength Of hui
man nature. For long time tho
Deacon was invulnerable, but nc
last, In n moment Of unguartled
weakness, he was led into tempta-
ton, and committed q "slight In
discretion with his beautiful house
maid. When he recovered his
wonted GOODNESS and presence Of
mind, he was Mortified at the eGo m
ity Of his sin. In vain he repentcd
and grieved Of lost virtue. Finally,
rs Inst effort of easing his con-
science, at the services on the follow
ing Sabbath morning, he arose and
requested the f0rbearance OF the Sis
tiers and brothers few moments,
when he electrified them by making
the following confession: ,.t.,.....'
my Christian friends, you know
that / lost my wife some months ago
(sObs and tears), and thxt Nancy
Stearns has been keeping house for
me. And you know that i have q
little child not n year old. Well,
sometimes that child would cry IN
the night, and IL would be ling
time before ] could quiet Il; and last
Tuesday night-God forgive mel
the child cried 80 hard that Nancy
arose and came into the room, and
leaned over the bed, TO hush the
child-and, brothers and sisters, her
leaning over me there made me for

"What did you do?" demanded
the minister, sternly. e f.ofs.i.
"I-I-I--ki--ssed her I" STAN
mered out the Deacon, between his
sobs, "but I've been very sorry about
1t, and prayed to be forgiven, and
want you to forgive and pray for me,
brothers and sisters"
AS the Deacon bowed himself upon
his seat like the mighty tat before
the tornado, Deacon Goodfellow
arose and astonished tho au,' len 70
still more, by saying:
7" Brothers and sisters, you have
heard what brother Brown has said
now he wants our forgiveness. For
my part / believe brother Brown IL
truly penItent, aud I am willing to
forgive him with my whole heart.
And brothers and sisters, will add
still further, that II l had no wife,
and a pretty girl like Nancy Stearns
should come into my room, and lean
over my bed, and lean over me, I'D
kiss her, sin or no sin I" on

CURIOUS RELICS OF ,,7,.
Raising ofa Frigate Sunk In the Del
aware River During the RcvoIu-
lion.

from the Philadelphia Duilctin.l y,
Mr.. George w. Murphy and Others
recently conceived the idea of rails
ing the hull of the British 84-gun
ship Augusta, sunk In the Delaware
River, about n mile and half below
Fort Miffiin. The ship was one of
His Royal Highness King Georges
fieet, and was blown up, the concas-
sion driving one of her sides out.
This occurred In the year lit, and
since that time the waters Of Del
eware have had full sweep at forcing
the mud and sand Into and through
the shattered hull. Very many have
been the difficulties encountered by
the brave men who battled with the
elements to bring the old craft to the
surface. They have depended en-
tirely upon their own resources, and
have expended about 5000 without
counting their labor. Canal boats,
barges, scows and divers have long
been In use, and all difficulties have
been surmounted. y H hiul .Ylrs
Yesterday, the 18th inst, theparty,
who now consist of Messrs. Murphy,
James Powell, Moore, Shiplcy and
Myers, succeeded I'm floating the hull
and getting Il tn Gloucester. An In
tense excitement was created along
the river and among the Jersey folks,
who were anxious to see the vessel
they had read of and heard SO much
about. ue4 Ellls~ ifa1 .nNag'r9
1t IL the intention of those who
raised the craft to place canvas about
her, and charge the moderate sum OF
twenty-five cents to those who de.
sire to inspect her. Mr.. Murphy
kindly showed us some of the relics
he has recovered from time to time.
Among them were q silver spoon,
very heavy, bearing the makers
mark, and crest conspicuously en-.
graved upon the end. Near the bowl
Is engraved al. W., 1887 Upon a
piece Of metal, about four inches long
and an inch wild Is very plainly en-
graved the Lord . prayer, appended
to which Is the name David Pyett,
IVA. On the reverse side are en-
graved various designs.
A Notwithstanding silver watch,
small In size, and almost round shape,
Is another rare curiosity. Yesterday
the divers brought up number OF
British guineas of the date of 1865,
and they are very perfect, and now
that they are no longer In circulation,
In Great Britain, are, Of course, very
valuable.
These were all the curiosities we
had time to inspect, but Mr.. Murphy
IL convinced that there are on boa I'd
the vessel many Others. Two heavy
cannon have been recovered bearing
the British coat of arms, and It Is es-
tlmated that at least one hundred
tons ofkentlidge is IN the hull. This
kentlidge Is composed of fiat pieces
Of iron about two feet long, and used
for ballast. Each piece bears the
royal stamp Of the king, the letter r..
1t Ia supposed that there In Mt least
one hundred tons of shot on board
the vessel. Battle axes, cutlasses,
guns, pist OILS, and all the parapherna.
lin Of u man-ofwar are visible, and
much of II will be saved. The tim
beers of the ship are in an elegant
state Of preservation, and u novel
feature Of her construction Is that she
was put together by trunnels, no
bolts being used.
