- ament of Congress "a oTVsr


The fogs ana clouds in IN \. which the
great question: of Southern restera4
Z ton have been covered up since the
adjournment Of Congress are at length
breaking away. We know not what
to do. We have been taught by the
famous mariner Daniel Webster, after
drifting about for many days in thick
weather and in an unknown sea, to
avail ourselves of the first glimpse of
the sun for ansobservation and a reck-
oning, in order to ascertain how far
the winds and the waves have driven
us from our true course. We thus
find from the bearings of the Maine
election that the true course for the
Southern States and administration is
laid down in the Constitutional
Amendment Of Congress- In other
words, we are convinced from the sig
nifcant results of the Maine election
that this amendmeht will carry all the
Northern States yet to come, and that
against the. solid North any further
resistance from the administration or
| the excludedISouthern Stateswill be
a waste ,of time; foolish and suicidal
to all concerned. =
1--WE would therefore urge, upon
President j ohnson- the1statesInanlike


policy of a truce with Congress, and
| an active cooperation with, the fixed
and predominant public opinion of
the North, in behalf of the immediate
restoration of, the South, on the basis
| of this constitutional amendment.
| We have shown that there is nothing
in it which the President has not him
self, at one time or another, recon-
mended as essential to the security of
the Union. 1t is not the Radical
plan; it IS not SO near, in fact, to the
rebel disabling and confscation act of
Thaddeus Stevens, as the propositions
put forth from time to time by An
drew Johnson, 1t is compromise


which the President ought to have


adopted in cooperation with Con-


gress, and which he ought now to


adopt at all events, because his con-
\ flict with Congress, if persisted IN,


will be most emphatically decided
against him. 1t cannot be otherwise.


The inevitable result is as clear to the


searcher for the true situation of


things as the light of the sun through


the breaking clouds. Not one of the


States that voted for Lincoln and


johnson will fail to adopt this consti-


tutional amendment, since New Jer-

Arriving at the shore end, we were clothed

We are credibly informed that certain
copperhead collector of the four dollar
communication money waited upon a widow
lady in Sycamore township, this county,
recently, aud compelled her to pay Sc. so
for her son. The boy had been in the
service, and the mother supposed he was
exempt; not being conversant with the
provisions of the law, she did not know
what was required of her. But he did
not stop here-he was determined to make
all laws passed for the support of the Gov
ernment against the efforts of his party to
destroy it, as odious as possible; hence he
informed the lady alluded to that if she
did not repair at once to the Office of the
U. S. Assessor and make report of her in
come, a penalty of fifty per cent. would be
added. The consequence was, she hast
ened to this place, arriving after dark and
returning home the same night, when the
truth was, and he knew it, the lady might
have reported at her leisure any time with
in two OF three weeks from the time he
saw her. f"

By OLlN Eh WENDELL HOLMES.
Obi she was maid Of laughing eye,
And she lived in garret cold and high,
And he was threadbare whiskered beau,
And he lived in cellar damp and low.
But the rosy boy of the cherub wing
Has many a shaft in his slender string,
And the youth below and the maid above
Were touched with the flashing darts of love.
And she would wake from her troubled sleep
Der his tender billet-doux to weep;
Or stand like a statue cold and fair,
And gaze on lock of bright red hair.
And he who was so tall and proud,
With his step SO firm and his laugh so loud,
His beard grew long and his face grew thin,
And he pined in solitude over his gin.
But one soft night in the month of June,
As she lay in the light Of a cloudless moon,
A voice came floating soft and clear,
To the startled maiden's listening ear
Oh, then from her cresking couch she sprung
And her tangled tresses back she flung; 20 :
She looked from the window far below,
And he stood below, her wiskered beaul
She did not start with foolish frowD,
But packed her trunk and scampered down,
And there was her lover, tall and true,
In his treadbare coat of the brightest blue.
The star that rose in the evening shade,
Looked sadly down on a weeping maid;
The sun that came in his morning pride.
Shed golden light DER laughing bride.

MINING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PIONEER GONE
The community generally will be paiucd to hear
of the death of Jcffries Wilson, an old citizen
and resident of Canon Creek for the past thir-
teen years He was killed in his mining claim
on the East fork of Canon Creek on the I'd
instant, by falling bank. We told that it
was the last day he intended to work in the
claim, it being unusually heavy one, and that
he had for some time entertained presentment
of danger in remaining. The mass of earth was
removed as soon possible, but too late to be of
any avail, for life extinct.


Mr.. Wilson respected by all for his kind
ways and generous disposition. With friend,
one who worthy, he was ever ready to divide
his last dollar sack of -four, and are in
clned to believe that the death of no resident of
Canon Creek would have been more universally
felt and depored. Maj. Price writes us that he
is of opinion that Mr.. Wilson was born in the
western part of Maryland, and that he has re-
latives living in Philadelphia and Richmond,
Indiana. He was buried on Sunday, and we hear
that the entire population OF that vicinity follow
ed his remains to their last resting-place. His
sudden taking-off is another warning to those
who are daily hazarding their lives in this class
of mining claims, which at the present season
are unusually dangerous.
