THE POEM.

THE POEM. Thou grand old mount, Tocconuc! Since when Almighty power ,- First called thee forth from chaos. To stand, guardian tower, Sentinel OCT all around, The silent ages. passing, Have wrought with Natures skill The beauty of these valleys, Fit place for man to dwell. -- Wild beasts have roamed upon thee; The eagle built his nest; ~st The Savage. in his freedom Stood on thy highest crest, And, looking on the picture s.s Spread out SO clear below, Thought that the happy hunting grounds No brighter scene could show: Percnance his thoughts went upward, And dwelt on that High Power, Which covered OCT the world beneath With beauteous tree and flower. And thou, Wononscopomoc, With all thy sisters fair, For ages had reflected This beauty, rich and rare, Before our fathers saw thee, And thankfully adored The source of all thy loveliness, Which could such grace afford. Though driven by oppression wilderness to find, It took away all sorrow At leaving home behind. like Jews in sight of Canaan)
 To see this goodly land. They came to found colony With right to worship God; In matters of conviction They bowed to no mans nod; But in all matters civil Obeyed King George the Third, Until in scorn of common rights Their prayers were never heard. Then, when the boom of Cannon Proclaimed from Bunker's hill The call to join and fight him, They answered, Aye, we will! In the war of Revolution ., This town took no mean part; It furnished many "hearts of oak'' When the future days looked dark. Twenty-second day of August Seventeen hundred seventy-four, Was proud day for Salisbury, And rich, ripe fruit it bore. :; Our fathers, in town meeting, Discussed the oppressive acts Of the sordid British Parliament In it's tea and paper tax, And "Resolved tits spirit dangerous,'' Both "partial and a5surd," Approved "call for Congress- And pledged to use the sword. They sent of men, enc hundred, To help on the good cause, And establish ''once forever'' Their right to make the laws. The famous "Sheldon's Cavalry Was mainly from this town, THE FIRST WHICH JOINED THE ARKYl It won great renown. Our mines produced material, Our streams afforded power, Our citizens the labor,
 To smelt and mould our ore Into cannon for the Navy. With shot and shell store. And when the war was over, The soldiers returned home, The people, in town meeting, Pronounced the work well done." Through trying times of poverty Which war on them imposed, They "Resolved'' to maintain harmony And obey all righteous laws. With years of peace. came plenty. True Virtue's sure reward; For nearly one whole century, I've nothing to record
 Of special note.
 Time passed in hard employ In shop, or on the farm; The boys were kept too busy To wander into harm.
 In clothing made of hpmespnn The daughters learned to rpin,- For, by home manufacture Their dresses they must win. The mothers did full duty In work of the household, Made healthy by hard labor, "Strong, self-reliant, bold.'

MRs. LINooLN.-The world will hear with pleasure that Mrs. Abraham Lincoln's req son has been so restored that her friends have secured from court, which. adjudged her insane year age, ,an order to restore to her the control ot her property, which was in the hands of her son. For a time she was in private asylum, but the physicians finally concluded that visit to her sister at Springfield would do her no injury and she accordingly went. There she has since re- mained and her health and spirits have rap idly improved. Since she left the asylum she has occasionally shown some little ec- centricity, but nothing like her mental con dition twelve months before. It is proba. ble that many who judged the unfortunate lady harshly for her singular conduct al times after President Lincoln's death, have long ago regretted their haste. The shock upon her nerves caused by the assassina- tion, and the partial overthrow of her req son, sufficiently account for anything whicf hurt the pride of the American people. A feeling of pity rather than blame has beer sometimes entertained for her among al classes, and to that of pity will succeed al inexpressible pleasure at her unexpected restoration to reason, society and lega rights over her property. This, it is said is now quite large. It consists mostly O United States bonds, and amounts to nearl. Aao nnO

The Latest Railroad Invention.

An apparatus has been attached to the rear of the pay car used on the middle di- vision of the Pennsylvania railroad, which is expected to be of important service to the officers of the road when on tours of in. spection. A roll of white paper, 700 feet in length, encircles cylinder, from which it is paid out at the rate. of three feet to the mile run by the car, its forward movement being regulated by the revolutions of the nearest axle under the car. A lead pencil placed about the centre Of the paper indi- oates by it's mark the condition of the track. The more uneven the track the len ger will be the mark which the pencil will make. Another way of showing the in- specting parties that the track is uneven i! by horizontal piece of iron or steel. .whict oscillates like the pendulum of clock al the train moves. When very defective point is reached, the pendulum comes ir contact with piece of metal on each side circular in shape, and creates sound lik' that of bell. This new invention is ex- pected to work much more satisfactorily than the telegraph apparatus formerly il operation.

Special Telegraphic Correspondence of tho
Courier Journal. ,
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Anofi-
cial dispatch received here to-day
from General Sherman expresses
the opinion that no apprehension
need be entertained on account of
General Crooks command, because
of his failure to dispatch a courier,
as he is noti the habit of sending
couriers except for important rea-
sons. The Indians at the agencies
are reported much excited by the
recent battle of Custer, and hostile
Indians are coming in who boast of
having had a part in it.
1t is believed that the request of
Mr.. Carpenter to wait for Evans
testimony in the case of Belknap
is merely a dodge to gain time, and
that the Senate will not delay the
trial on that account. The man.
ayers say that most of the Senators
who denied jurisdiction have voted
on the questions of the admissible
ity of testimony, and cannot there
fore decline TO vote on the final
question of guilt or innocence.
The Committee of Conference
on the Legislative and executive APP
preparation bill is going over the
bill in detail and making progress
slowly, with a fair prospect of agree
ment.

A letter from President Grant to
ex-Secretary Bristow appears in this
evenings Star, releasing him from
any obligation of secrecy in respect
to testifying before the committed
of Congress on the whisky frauds,
in regard to matters occurring in
the cabinet. This letter comes
rather late in the day. General
Bristow left here some days ago,
and it is understood was not re-
quired by the committee to return.
The permission now given is, there.
fore, of no practical value.
Mr.. Whitthorne will take occa-
sion ere long to show up the doings

The true inwardness of Hon. Jim
Blaine in respect to railroads will

A NEW CONVERT.

Frank r. Reid, a yirtuous and
respectable youngman, witha bulge
forward in the lower part Of his
forehead, lately joined the Repub-
lican party at Nashville. The old
sinners in the party shed tears Of
Joy over the youthful convert. The
advice that Brownlow once gave at
a camp-meeting would have been
quite apropos, and may have been
given in secret. 1t was a very sol
emn occasion. There had been a
revival, and a number of young
persons were being received into
the church. Brownlow was re-
quested to make some remarks,
which he did substantially as fol,
lows : "You are in tender frame
Of mind, and your hearts are easily
touched. When you 60 out into
the world again your conscience
will be very sensitive. Let mt
assure you this will wear Of

Appetite is a necessity. Without it, sufi-
cisnt food is not received into the stomach
either to nourish the system or to give the
stimulus to the bowels which they require.
Both these organs and the liver become torpid
in consequence, and the blood grows poor in
quality and quantity. Improve the appetite,
therefore, and avoid such results. This is
most ef~fectually done with Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. a tonic appetizer and Alternative
without a peer. 1t gives not only an UNI
wonted zest for food, but enables the stomach
to digest and the system to assimilate it.
Flatulence, heartburn, nausea, and every
other concomitant Of indigestion, are removed
by il, as are also biliousness and constipation.
Each nerve and fibre of the body is made to
tingle with health by its use, and it is the

THE RADICAL PROGRAMME.

The Brownsville Free Press is
kind enough, and, as some Of the
Republicans will think, so indis-
Greet. as to announce the Radical
programme in this State. No such
explanation was necessary to those
who have been watching the drift
of affairs and the movements OF the
Radicals and their few allies, but
such a declaration becomes author
itative when coming from Mr.. Free
man, late defeated Republican can
didate for Governor. Their plan,
as disclosed by this indiscreet edi-
tor, is to play the same game that
the Democrats did in the Senter-
Stokes campaign-that is, make no
nomination themselves, and take
sides with an independent candi-
date who is to run against the
Democratic nominee. This means
that the Republicans, with all their
pretended love Of principle, are
willing to support any man, even
be he a Democrat, that will run
against the Democratic partyin this
State. When Senter was elected
the last time our people were still
disfranchised, yet gave their moral
support to the man that promised
and afterwards gave them relief.
The Press is free to say that there
is no such an organized body as
the Independents, but that they
constitute an element of some
strength. independence Of thought
and action is a most commendable
virtue, but the word does not mean
a man with no political convictions
or preferences except when the
whim takes him or he finds out
which is the bread and butter side.
The kind of independendentS the
Radicals are looking for are men
who have no opinions and only
take sides from interest or sore
medicines. There are few such
in this State. The most Of the
Old Line Wings, all the Oonserva.
tiyes and the Democrats to a NAL
will vote the Democratic ticket
The Radical hope that any seriou.
division will occur in our ranks j
born of the wish. There is nothing
in it. Our ranks are compact, vel
closed up and bound to win. TIL

tend to be Indifferent with a vie,
to supporting Mr.. Thomas, MI
Oolyar or anybody else, but we wi

SOME one else, but now | can steal

Function of conscience" This was
a metaphorical way of speaking the
old man had, but in the Republic
can party it would be a statement
of actual facts. Mr.. Reid has
already received promotion. The
name of the Bulletin has been
changed to the New Southern
Era, and he is put at the head of it
as editor. He comes out this week
with a great gush, a sophomore
efficiency, that must be refreshing
to the old party hacks. The reasons
why or how a Southern man, unless
influenced by selfish motives, should
or could join the Republicans have
yet to be presented in a convincing
form. We have suffered too much
at the hands of that party to for
get the days of disfranchisement.
We have seen too much of their ras-
cality to ever affiliate with them.
1t has been a party of oppression,
fraud, hypocrisy, spoilation and
plumber from first to last, and can
no more reform within itself than
an aged drunkard can learn to for
get his cups.
