least is by the worlds consent awarded the
monument of silence, when dead. A few
years ago hostile armies waged war on our
land, but now all is peace and quiet. and
can. any more beautiful exposition of re-
turning affection be given between those
once foes, than this merited tribute to the
dead alive, by means of flowers, so aptly
called the alphabet of the affections, and
cannon and the saber are of war. Peace
in the end yet triumphs and holds the
highest place in the hearts of men and re-
ligion; and no matter how dazzling may
he the pomp and glories OF war, where
life is held but as breath, to be destroy
ed at will, yet there is still in the human
breasta secret inner cell whose worship is
humanity. y But in civil war, whilst
the same honor, same love, same remem-
brance, awaits and mourns and sobs over
their dead and glories over their deeds of
heroism, for they also believed they were
fighting for principle and right.
No, the land can no longer be divided.
Our nation has received its baptism of
blood. In every village of our broad land
there are homes going to decay. and, oh!
80 many home circles with an open space
never to be filled again, and our mother
earth bears on its weeping bosom hundreds
of thousands of hillocks over unknown
graves. But the fiery ordeal allotted to
all nations is passed, and as the proud
Switzer cried to the furious blast on his
own rugged mountains, BLOW on! This
is the land of liberty!' so, now this land is
of liberty-and our land can be never nor
forever separated, and our love for it will
go on greater than the lovers for his
bride.

10 commenting upon the amendment pro.
posed to the Tax bill in the House of Dele
gates, whereby the tax on land is diminished
to forty cents if paid 10 lawful money, Ia
notice of which appeared 10 yesterdays Ga
zette), the Richmond Dispatch says The eft.
feet of the amendment will simply be to reduce
the value of the coupon. If the country peo-
pie cau buy coupons at seventy cents in the
dollar they will pay their taxes 10 coupons 10
preference to what is to be pronounced lawful
money In the meantime the people of the
cities viii get the advantage Of the diminished
value of the coupon, and the State Treasury
will sustain q heavy loss of revenue, and there
will be 20 diminution of the aggregate amount
of coupons paid into the Treasury. Every ex-
pedient that may be adopted for the purpose
Of inducing the people to pay taxes in some
thing else than coupons only bears down the
value Of the coupons without excluding them
from the Treasury"

THE STATE DEBr.-The Richmond Wing
says THE Legislature has been in session
about hundred days in twenty more it will
have reached the EXTREMIST limit of time allow
ed it by the constitution; and as yet there is no
movement toward such an understanding as to
the public debt as will enable both the Com
monwealth and her creditors to know what they
may expect, and to give assurance to the world
that all confusion, dissension and uncertainty
on this subject is at an end. 1t is impossible
to say whether Virginia can pay six, or tour, or
three per ct. interest. But there is one thing
she can say, and can do. She can provide that
every dollar left over after the payment of her
necessary expenses for the maintenance OF the
government of the State, shall be regularly
paid to her creditors. This is plain propo-
sition; it is so simple that nobody can misun
derstaud it; and it is 50 just and so fair that we
cannot see how or where objection can be made

ICOMMUNiCATEr,


Xxx wants rereuchmeat, and talks ahuut
sipecures. The laborer that works on the coal
Wharves at sl5O per day enjoys more of a
sinecure than any officer Of this corporation,
and the reducing of the salaries Of the few off
GERS who get over $50 per month would not be
drop in the bucket. a few hundred might
be saved 10 salaries by exchanging experienced
officers for green hands, and ten times the dill
terence be lost to the corporation by the ex-
change. There is nothing more onerous than
the duty of coll: citing taxes. People do GOT
call and pay their taxes always, as XIX seems
to think. Day after day, aud week after week,
the same parties are called upon for their taxes,
until the collectors are forced to stop the rent

PINCHBAcK. The Piuchback debate in the
the Senate yesterday Was participated IN by
IMessrs McCreery, Salisbury aud Chrlstlancy,
all against the admission. The argument OF
Judge Christiancy, who is the successor OF Mr.
Chandler, was listened to with attention by the
whole Senate It was calm, dispassonate
legal paper, and carried much weight with 1t.
Its exposition Of the uuteDable grounds on
which Pinchback's claim rests was very dam
aging to the prospects Of that Individual, and
it seemed to be generally conceded that ne
would not be admitted. Pinchback has re-
.ceived one recruit in the person Of Senator Al
corn, of Mississippi. Mr. Aooro, as a mem
Der of the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, has since the inception OF the Kellogg
usurpation, always voted against any recognl-
ton of it. and against any report In favor OF
the admission of Pincbback. 1t is now given
out that his change Of front is because Kellogg
has been recognized by the House Of Repre-
senta,ives. The real reson is supposed to be
that Alcorn, who is candidate for reelection,
and who has now colored colleague to watch
him, hopes to keep on the blind side of the
colored members of the Mississippi Legislature
by voting for Pinchback. Yesterday an agree
ment was effected among Senators that the
vote on Pinchback's case shall be taken not
later than Tuesday next. Governor Whyte,
of Maryland, will speak on the subject to-day.
