| How the States now out of the Union, or
claiming to be out of the Union, are to get
back, It may not, speaking after the manner
OF philosophical statesmen, be very easy to
determine but how the civilization, the
very air and soil and social structure of the
lnsurgent States are to be constructed, it
is exceedingly easy to see and determine.
L ne method Is before us. Seeing is the ma
ked truth.


No one who has reached the roots of the
STAKEHOLDER rebellion can fail to perceive
that they are identical with the roots of the
Shareholders civilization The Slayehold-
er hands performed out of the abundance
OF the Shareholders heart What he had
long dreamed of he finally dared to under
take. He was branded aristocrat. The
end OF his civilization was to make his slave
menlal, himself an aristocrat, and his poor
white neighbor vagabond On the bond
age of the black, and the ignorance of the
poor white, the stakeholder built himself.
his ample lands, princely habitation and lux
urious ease. Ideness reigned over what
luxury skipped Manual toll was given ex-
clusively to servile hands. What they could
not do must be left undone. Labor went
under the ban; land to waste; men to de-
cay Opulence and station were the privi-
lege of the few The remainder were black
slaves and white vagrants. The palace on
the highway, surrounded by the E'quarters''
and the interminable, ill-tiled acres, was as
terrible as an army with banners to the clus-
ter of rude huts, deep in the pine forest
The sullen inhabitants of the huts stood in
as servIle awe OF the magnificent mansion as
did the variagated occupants of the ''quar-
ters. If not this war, then, certainly,
what shall follow this war, will bring these
deluded princes to repentance and re-
form. The war has its bad aspects, but at
the same time it has its good ones With
out it, the slave civilization might have
made long fight yet with the civilization
of free labor and free lips; but ,cith it, the
competition will be brou ght to speedy and
successful termination. The sword of the
Yankee will raise, the ploughshare of the
Yankee will reconstruct Whatever of
fresh ideas his bayonet may insert, the ring
ing hammer Of his steady right arm will eff
fectually and eternally drive home In
short, the advent of few thousand North
ern mechanics and tradesmen in an interior
part of the rebellious region, is at once the
augury and commencement of that sort of
reconstruction which must uhderlie ev-
cry other, and upon which must be found
ed all our hopes of an enduring Union, a
healthful peace and untrammeled trial of
purely Republican structure-a structure
with slavery stricken out and with Freedom
inscribed upon its cap-stope Gazette

Until the war is over and the rebellion
put down, our people must make UP their
minds to pay high prices for goods, as well
as high taxes upon their property The
immense expenditures necessary In modern
warfare must disturb the commercial bal
ance. We cannot expect everything to run
on as smoothly as if we had no rebellion in
the country. High taxes we must pay to
maintain our armies in the field, and to sus-
tain the credit of the Government. With
out a large income raised by taxation, the
national currency must depreciate, and pri-
ces will bound up higher and higher. Our
principal hope of safety now lies In heavy
taxation. The Government cannot borrow
forever unless there is provision made for
paying interest ard principal. Our public
income and tariff and taxation is not enough
to meet the emergency. Congress must lay
on the burden. and the people must carry it
for their own good. 1t is better to pay a
high tax and support our financial system,
than to pay nothing and let our treasury fall
into bankruptcy. Besides, hundreds of thou
sands of our fellow citizens are on the battle
field, offering everything, even to their very
lives, for the cause of the country. We are
asked only to pay portion of our substance.


We risk no limbs nor lives in staying at
home employed in our usual vocations For
the public good and our own good, we are
called on to pay for the work that others
are doing 1t will cost us some economy and
self-denial, but nothing compared with what
the soldiers experience every day. We
must stop our indulgence in costly foreign
luxuries, and live in a manner to suit the
times. Money is abundant among us, but
it should not therefore be wasted First
provide decent subsistence for yourselves
and families then give what you can afford
to the Aid Societies and the Sanitary Fairs,
and invest the surplus in the public loans,
taxes cheerfully and freely, and be satisfied
that every act of your hand is for the free
dom, happinessand unity of your country

SPIRIT OF THE CoLoRED TRooPs IN THE AR. My OF THE PoToMAc.--The conduct of the col ored troops, by the way, in the actions Of the last few days, is described as superb. An Ohio soldier said to me to-day: "I never saw men fight with such desperate gallantry as those negroes did. They advanced as grim and stern as death, and when within reach of the enemy struck about them with pitiless vigor that was almost fearful" Another soldier said to me: {: These negroes never shrink nor hold back, no matter what the order. Through scorching they march with prompt, ready feet" Such praise is great praise, and it is deserved. The negroes here who have been slaves are loyal to a man; and on our occupation of Fredericks- burg pointed out the prominent secessionists, who were at once seized by our cavalry and put in safe quarters. In talk with group of these faithful fellows I discovered in them all perfect understanding of the issue of the con- fict, and grand determination to prove wor- thy of the place and privileges to which they are to be exalted.

Winter will not last forever


Spring will soon come forth again,
And. with flowers of every color,


Deck the hillside and the plain.
Lambs will soon in fields be sporting,
Birds Te-echo from each tree,
Winters gone its days are ended
We are happy-we are free ~
Hedges and tree swill soon be budding,
Soon with leaves be covered DER;
Winter cannot last forever


Brighter days are yet in store
Sorrows will not last forever


Brighter times will come again,
Joy our every grief succeeding.


AS the sunshine after rain
As the snow and ice of winter


Melt at the approach of spring,
So will all our cares and trials,


Joy, and pease, and comfort bring.
When the heart is sad and dropping,
Think, though you be vexed sore,
Sorrows cannot last forever


Brighter days are yet in store

Education the Cornerstone of the Union.


Wendell Phillips delivered lecture few
days ago, at the Music Hall Boston, before
u large audience, in which he advocated the
planting Of school houses among the ne
groes, and poor whites ot the South, with
every step of the army, and said that we
have one destiny and one future with the
black mau, and we've got to share our ideas
with him. He said that he did not despOnd
of the future Of the Republic, but believed,
as if he saw it, in a union Of all the States,
indisoluble as granite, and founded upon
justice in the words of another, you might
as well attempt to put six weeks chicken
back into its egg, as to return four millions
Of slaves into bondage. The South, he said,
fights with the undying energy Of baffied
aristocracy, and an arist0cracy is always
hard to conquer. There Is danger of our
becoming Abolitionists an AbolitioniSt is
behind the times, we must become Ameri-
can citizens. Applause, He spoke also
IN regard to the next Presidential election,
and said that we must rise to the level OF
our mission we must demand policy in
our candidate which is thoroughly, and in
the original sense of the word democratic,

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,


That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulse to wordless prayer


The dreams of love and truth;
The longings after something lost,


The spirits yearning cry,
The strivings after better hopes


These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly word in gricf's dark hour
That proves u friend in need;
The plea for mercy softly brcathed,


When justice threatens high,
The sorrow Of contrite heart


These things shall never die.
The memory of clasping hand,


The pleasure Of kiss,
And all the trifes, sweet and frail


That makes up loves first bliss
If with firm unchanging faith,


And holy trust and high,
Those hands have clasped, those lips have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,


That wounded rs it fell
The chilling want Of sympathy,


We feel but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfortunate record kept


These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not chance to weaken love
Be firm, and just, and true.
So shall light that cannot fade
Bedm on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee


These things shall never die.

Such are the results Of the abolition

and such are the results which abolition
craftsmanship produce; or rather, We wo'd
say, such are the results of want of state

sad picture. 1t is incomplete without the
addition of million of white men mur-

sandssof peaceful white citizens, snatched
without warrant of law from family and

dungeons, where they sustain a living
death. Nor should the wailing widows
and the lamentations Of helpless orphans
be left out of the scene; and last, but not

bis per cent, should also have a place,
should also be displayed twisting the

A tune that keeps no earthly tune or measure,
Rising and falling at the winds wild pleasure,
Now quick in haste, now slow in languid leisure
But always very musically sweet,


And always sad. No little childish feet
To its soft cadence dance along the street;
No little childish voice breaks into singing,
By glad impulse like wild bird flinging
An echo to the sound the wind is bringing.
Rather the child, though scarcely knowing why
Hearing this music passes slowly by,
And breathes its fear and wonder in sigh.
