most necessary requisites to promote connubial

the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF

THE DAY SELECTED TO PAY HON.
OBS TO THE CONFEDERATE
DEAD.

This is the day Of solemn festival, when
appropriate honors are paid to the
memory of our dead Confederate friends.
The occasion brings back again many
recolleetions Of relatives, friends and
brave comrades, whose voices have been
hushed by the battles loud rear, aud the
hearts of whom shall throb no more at
abe mention of our country. The goal
,s,riven for was never reached; bot the
path to the bright object was strewed
with the remains of those brave men
whose noble sacrifices for this people
should never be forgotten. We will
treasure the memory of their heroic
deeds, and, when dying, shall bequeath
them as rich legacy to posterity. 1t is
quite appropriate to strew flowers upon
1he graves of these heroes, especially
when done by the hands of the ladies.
The symbol is complete, as being typical
of the purity of the motives of those who
fell fighting for principle, who are now
honored by angel hands. This day is
sacred to all irue men of the South, and
right we'll has it been observed by our
pauple.

The Arago did not have soldier on

Thou bright spirit of courtly days,

Daring deeds Of noble knights
In defense of Liberty their sacred rights;
Those brave heroes Of poetic story
Who found their graves in search Of glory;
Breathe sad notes In solemn straia-
Chant requiems DER our battle slain,
The sacred dust Of our martyred braves,
Low in the vaults of honored graves,
Who drew their swords at Liberty's cry
Determined to conquer, or resolved to die.

Ex.HEBEl LEADERS IN CIVIL LIFE.

A correspondent OF the Boston Traveller
writes from New Orleans =
''Into the uncompleted Custom House, up
on which General Beauregard was working
when he abandoned architecture for the field,
we went, admiring the grand design and the
ponderous masonry of the building. In the
rooms where the troops We're quartered dur
ing the war, we found the desks of busy
clerks. surrounded by piles of official papers
and bundles Of red tape. In the basement
was the postotlice, occupying nearly the whole
floor, and its entrance filled at all hours Of
the day with ap anXious-faced crowd. On
the second floor, the way to which is up the
same old ricketty plank stairs is the room oc
cupied by General Longstreet. He was there
when we went in, and greeted us in a very
cordial manner, appearing as much at home
as any other man should in Il fat Custom
House office. If man ever has reason to
smile, it is when he gets into the Custom
House, for it is one of the neatest, prettest
jollest LATEST positions ever held by man.
General Hood is running commission
store on the second floor of Il stone building on
a side street. He was very sOciable, and talk
ed freely about the war, and said he regret
ted nothing he had done, and would do the
same fighting over again if he had Il chance
He said when he succeeded General Johnston
in command of the western Confederate army
he knew the game was up. lie was only
fighting to save his honor. The revolution
was crushed when Nicksburg fell, and he
said so at that time. He said it was painful
for him to talk about the lost cause, and he
did not like to- recall the war.
General Bcauregard is President Of the
New Orleans and Jackson Railroad, and has
his office in fine marble-fion building. in
the wealthiest part of the city. He made
little or no reference to the war, but confined
his conversation to the commercial convrn-
ton and the condition of the railroads. From
what he said and our own experience, we.ron-
cluded that nearly all the railroads in the
South We're almost as bad stock to invest in
as Southern Contederacy bonds, Nearly ev
cry one had borrowed money at the North
before the war, and when the Confederacy

debts to the lawful creditors, they have be

A WORD WANTED. An officer of the United

Gone afternoon, about the close of the war,
in April, 1865, a part of the United States
sql,adrons stationed in Albcmarle Sound,
was lying off the village of Edenton, North
Carolina A message was sent from the
shore to Captain Macomb, commander of the
fleet, announcing that the ceremony of public
baptism would be performed at two o'clock
The captain, ever courteous and considerable,
supposed that some OF his officers might wish
TO witness this little episode in the tedious
monotony of bockadin@, and directed that
the fact should be communicated by signal to
the other vessels. The naval signal book was
forthwith brought out and searched, but the
word baptism was not to be found Here
was a quandary and time was rapidly pass
ing; but the captain was moi to be loile,
The quartermaster of the watch was set to
work, and in 4 few minutes the bright color

Notwithstanding all that has been said
about the reduction of the public debt, the
fact is that the debt to-day July 10Th, is Myy-
er by several millions of dollars than ii was
one year ago, and several hundreds of mil
lions of dollars larger than on the first day OF
November, 1867. Those who are flatterino
themselves the debt is being constantly re-
duced will do well to consult the official state
ments put forth by the United States Treas
urer. They will find very little in those
statements to warrant the belief that the debt
will be paid this year.
