a somewhat lengthy discussion then
took place, Judge Krum, for the defence,
contcnding that the three counts
of the indictment against his client
were insufficient, and should
be quashed General Henderson
for the prosecution replied, and admit
ted that one of the counts was INSULT
clent, but maintained that the others
were good and binding upon the de-
fendant. The court sustained Judge
Krums position as to the two counts,
and said he should instruct the jury to
return a verdict of not guilty as to them.
Tie other counts were held to be good,
and the defense then proceeded with
their side by introducing three let
ters OF social character, which had
passed between Joyce and Avery, tending
to show they were in the habit OF using
such familiar names as Billy and Aleck
Jovcc's middle names and Avcry's Chris

Southern people were united as one
man, and should attempt that. they
could accomplish nothing by it. If
the whole power of the Government
was given u.s." he continued, '1ts
armies, its navies, its courts. its Con-
gress, one man in 5000 could not be
found who would put the negro back
into slavery again. We don't want
slavery any more" The negro vote
was dividing more and more every
year, and he was sure the time was
not far distant when parties would be
formed not upon the color line at all.
1t would have come long ago if it were
not for those men whose interest 1t
was to keep up the party line. To
show the kind of influence these car
pet-baggers had over the negroes, he
said that after he had addressed them
in favor of reform legislation, some
one of these would rise and say, y,''Don't
you remember that he was in the rebel
army ? don't you remember he fought
to keep you in slavery? Don ou
give him the power again, OR he will
put you back into slavery" The effecl
of this appeal to the passions was ap-
parent. He thought the Civil Rights
bill was not desired by the colored
people. They preferred, as mass, to
be by themselves, in the cars, steam
boats or hotels; and in closing the
conversation he remarked that not a
single outrage or disturbance through
all the Southern States had occurred
which could not be traced to the un-
just administration Of the Government
as its cause.

RETURN OF THE REDBREAST.

MARBLE on, pretty redbreast,
Out by the lawn;
Come build now thy downy nest,
Winter is gone;
NO more fear the chilling blast,
Shrink not again,
See. Spring has Its blossoms cast
Wide o'er the plain,
How sadly thine Autumn lay
Thrilled in the grove,
When faded thy bower away.
Bower of thy love;
Then mourning thou took'st thy flight
On rapid plume.
Away to sweet groves of light,
Mid tropic bloom.
Thou hast been to sunny cline.
Far, far away,
Where comes ne'er bleak Winter time,
Frosting the spray;
Ger fields ever green and fair,
There thou couldst roam
AMI was thy heart lonely there,
YearninX for home?
What though in the spicy land
Glow rarest flowers,
And come with the breezes bland,
Sweet scented showers,
When thy hearts on the blue hills
Skirting thy home,
Where leap the wild mountain rills,
Sparkling with foam.
A glad welcome home again,
Sweet be thy song.
AS free o'er thy native plain
Gliding along;
o, come build thy mossy nest
Here on this tree,
When care has my heart opprest.
Then sing for mel

THE FATHER OF WATERS.
Bancroft's Description of the Mississippi
The Bond of the American Union.

Bancroft's Description of the Mississippi
The Bond of the American Union.
In the tenth volume Gust issuedl of
Bancroft's History of the United
States, occurs the following striking
description of the Mississippi:
s'The Mississippi River is the guar
dian and pledge Of the union of the
States of America. Had they been
confined to the eastern slopes of the
Alleghanies, there would have been
no geographical unity between them,
and the thread of connection between
them, and the thread of connection be-
tween lands that merely fringed the
Atlantic must soon have been sunder-
ed. The Father of Rivers gathers his
waters from all the clouds that break
between the Alieghenies and the fur
thest ranges of the Rocky Mountains.
The ridges of the eastern chain bow
their heads at the north and at the
south so that, long before science be-
came the companion of man, nature
herself pointed out to the barbarous
races how short portages join his
tributary rivers to the shore of the
Atlantic coast. AT the other side his
mightiest arms interlock with the
arms of the Oregon and the Colorado,
and by the conformation of the earth
itself f marshals highways to the Pacific.
From his remotest springs he refuses
to suffer his waters to be divided but
as he bears them all to the bosom of
the ocean, the myriads of flags that
wave above his head are all the en-
signs of one people. States. larger
than kingdoms, flourish where he
passes; and beneath his step cities
start into being, more marvellous i'll
their reality than the fabied creations
of enchantment. His magnificent
valley, lying in the best part of the
temperate zone. salubrious and Won
derfully fertile, is the chosen muster
ground of the most various elements
of human culture, brought together by
men summoned from all the civilized
nations of the earth, and joined in the
bonds of common citizenship by the
strong, invisible attraction of republi-
can freedom. Now that science has
come to be the household friend of
trade and commerce and travel, aud
that nature has lent the wealth and iD-
telIect the use of her constant forces,
the hills, once walls of divisions, are
scaled, OF pierced, or leveleG f; and the
two oceans, between which the r.
public has unassailably entrenched it
self against the outer world, are boul d
together across the continent by
friendly links of iron"
