An appeal.
BY LEILA STUART.
Gather the sacred DUST"
Oh the soldiers brave and true;
Their memory to US is solemn trust,
For they fell 10 cause they believed was Just;
And died Tor me and you.
They have "hallowed spot"
a ground that is all their own;
A place complete, and nought remains,
Bot to gather their bones and adorn their graves;
A task for me and you
IT'S fitting resting place.
For the heroes OF Beauregard;
Then just as they marched on that fatal day.
Gather them back from the bloody fray
To their old camping ground.
Then gather their sacred dust,
Wherever it may rest,
Ills giant task for two or three,
But union is strength" and there should be,
Unity in this.
There is faithful few,
Who have abored heart and hand,
And hall of the sacred task" is done.
Aud MAY with her flowers, is marching on;
Join in the heroic band.
Gather the corpses strewn,
On 'wayside, hill aud plain -
From many grave that lies so lone,
Without name, land without stone;
''Ga,her the Southern slain.
When they bucked their armour on,
Aud marched at their country's call,
Whose smiles but ours encouraged them on,
To bravely meet the coming storm!
Then gather them one and all.
When the "angel Of death" discharged,
These men from the bloody fray
They we're mourned by US with bitter tears,
Then why forget in few short years,
Warriors who wore tho gray.
We care not who they are,
lis enough for Us 10 know
That the men who with "Ree" and" Bartoe' Tell
Are akin to those who after bled
Inthe ranks where" Lee an" Jackson" led.
We care not whence they came
Dear is their lifeless clay,
Whether unknown or known to fame,
Their cause and country still the same
They died aud wore the gray.
wherever the brave have died
They should not rest apart;
Living they struggled side by side,
Then let not the "share OF the pl ow' divide
A single heart from heart.
The "foeman" need not dread
This gathering of our brave,
Without Sword or flag" with soundless tread
We muster" once more our deathless dead
Out Of each lonely grave.
"Our victors" need not irown,
They are all powerless now
Then gather them here and lay them down
And tears aup flowers are the only crown
We can bring TO wreathe each brow.
And when the great hereafter comes,
And the Stones are all rolled away,
God will unravel the mysterious thread.
Aud show to US how our gallant dead,
Fulfilled some high decree.
Then gather their sacred bones
From Manassas bloody plain,
Aud prayers will arise in far off homes
From many heart DOW sad and torn
For the caring Of their slain.

Repor, of the Po..mn.,er General,

The Postmaster Generals report shows
that the ordinary revenues of the de.
partment for the present year ending
June 30, 1869, were SIS, 344, $40, and the
expenditures S23,69S, 13l.
Mr.. Creswell holds that the deficiency
is due to three causes, viz: Deprecia-
tion of paper currency, unpaid postage
on printed matter, and the franking
privilege. The first he regards as a
temporary evil, which cannot now be
remedied; the second can be regulated
by stringent law, the passage of which
he recommends, and the third should be
abolished. By these means he believes
the department can be made self-sup-
porting.
Inc practical operations of the De-
partment during the year were satisfac.

tally, proving more extensive CORES.
pondence, superinduced, doubtless, nv
greater efficiency in the transmission
and delivery of the mails. A careful
revision and read ustment of paw ON
railroad routes is recommended.
Mr.. Creswell urges the necessity of
some legislation to encourage the re-
establishment of American lines of
trans Atlantic steamers.
During the fiscal year money orders
increased l46S, and the receipts size, 247,

Penditures of S65,563. Further extern
