The Atlanta (Ga. } Sunday Record is indig-

up a Home for Confederate soldiers by the
aid of Northern contributions. It says that
no old veteran of Lee and Jackson can be
produced who has asked the North for such
charity.

OUR mARTNE CORPS PoEr.

We call attention to the lie ter Of
Mr.. Geo. X. Downs, corporal in the
U. $. Marine Corps, which appeared in
yesterdays CAPITAL, in reference TO
the authorship of that exquisite piece
ofpoetry, II longto Breath my Native
Air" which appeared in our colu ms
a few days ago. We are in receipt
of two other charming poems, the pro
duction of private Paul I. Kingston,
author of the above referred to poem,
respectively entitled, "rhere's Land
that to me is the Fairest," and Those
who say / don't Love Thee" which
we will take pleasure in giving to the
public in few days, or as soon as the
present crowded condition of our col
umns will permit Mr.. Kingston,
the author, is a native of the Emer
aid Isle, and certainly his productions
are not only originally original, but
are infused with pathos and beauty,
that we venture the confident pre- die
ton, that when his poems shall have
been more thoroughly read, and es-
pecially by those who possess a taste
for the beautiful, and whose sense of
appreciation are quick to properly
criticise, his talent will be sought
after and he will yet obtain and
secure the elevated status to which
he is undoubtedly and deservedly en-
titled. No truer maxim was ever
transmitted down to posterity than
that of poeta moscitur non tat--a poet
is born, not made.

WHAT man is there equal to Ben.
Butler in this whole country as an
otf-hand speaker, ready for any emer-
gency? If the Democrats select him
as their standard-bearer against Null
ligan Blaine, he will make things
lively for the Plumed Knight. Blaine
would find his Congressional record
and whole life from the time of his
apostacy to the day of his famous
sunstroke, overhauled and laid bare
in such thorough manner as to keep
him busy defending himself till the
day of election. Magnetism would
avail little against Ben Buffers cold
truths served up la Blaine.

In disregard TO their duty to

decent public servants they have
