Within the sombre'realm of leafless tress,
The russet year inhaled the dreamy air;
Like soibe tanned reaper, in his boor of east.
When aU the fields are lying brown and ban.
The gray barns looking from their hazy hills,
O’er The du n waten widening in t>e vales.
Seat down the air a greeting to the mills.
Onlhe dull thunder ofbjteraat* flails.
AU tights wore meUowed’&l ail sounds subdued.
The hillsseemcd furtheftnd the stream sang low.
As in a dream the distufit Woodman hawed
His winter log. with many a
liariiy of his pvsRJca, as woll as for the flagraney
of its violation of all the rales Of just and magnaab
The embattled foretts, erewblle armed with gold,
.Their banners bright with svery martial hue,
Now stood Rke some sad, beaten host of old,
WRhdrawn afar in Time’s remotest blue.
On sombre wings the aulturetried bis flight;
The dove scarce heard his sighing mite's com
plaint;
And, like a star slow drown!ag In tho light.
The village church vane seemed to pale and faint.
Tho sentinel cock upon the hill-aide crew—
Crew thrice —and all was stiller than before;
Silent, till some replying warden blow
Ilia alien horn, and then was heard no more.
Where erst the Jay, within Uw elm’s tall crest,
ode garrulous ‘ “ * ~
young;. - . .
And where the oriole hang her swaying nest,
By every light wind like a censer swung;
Where sang the noisy martins of tho eves,
The busy swaHows circling ever near—
Foreboding, os the rustic mind believes.
An early harvest and a plenteous year;
Where every bird that waked Iho vernal feast.
Shook the sweet slumber from its wings al a
To worn the reaper of the rosy east;
All now was sunless, empty and forlorm
Alone, from out the stubble, piped tho quail;
And croaked the crow through all the dreary
gloom;
Alone, the pheasant, drumming in the vale.
Made echo in the distance to the cottage loom.

Wa refer .to the recent criticism of the military

Jordan, late of the Confederate aervlce.
The simple reference to the circumstances of the

He awaits his trial,- aad now that the passions ex
acted by the war begin to moderate, and the native
love of justice pad the generosity of American char-
ir have resumed their sway over the minds of

trial will be a just, fair and impartial one. His*
friends hare little cause to complain, nor do they
eomplaia of the course pursued towards him by the
Federal authorities—bearing 1a mind the «stand
point from which they must regard his acts. It was,
after all. ths most dignified, manly, -courageous
course an his part, thus to confront the responsible
Ry aad challenge ths judgment of the country and

Davis, vindicating and defending his acts before ths

The South Carolina ultras never gave Mr. Davis
their confidence. .Their original distrust grew and
increased with every month of his administration.
His every aetVss construed into some * 4 confirma

hostile tq him. Whenever displeased by any of his

There is'a little too moeh of the Hotspur in
his disposition to brook any kind of dietaries, and
the ultras were not kept long waiting for the open
issue they courted. He did not shrink from thb

of the South, he succeeded in placing himself in a
position impregnalle to all the* assaults of politi
cians, and ev^n of complaining, generals. No man
was ever more unpopular with the politicians thaw

He made ne effort to please or eondlllate theta,; bot
they dared not Oppose, and hesitated long even 10
censure or differ with him, But his .people—the
people for whose fate he exhibited in the crisis of
his misfortunes such intense- and tearfu^sorrow-
forgetting hia own perils and trials, always stood
by him and. encouraged and sustained him. It was
vain to tell them that htf bad erred grievously in
this .and that: that ho had made this and that bad
appointment—that he was prejudiced against this
general and exhibited an undue partiality and fa
vor for the other; that be interfered in plans of
campaigns and strategies which, after others .had
failed, it was easy gx argue, would certainly hare
succeeded. Thousands of unappreciated Madbo-
roughs, Wellingtons and Napoleons clamored over
the inveterate prejudice which overlooked their
great merits. Defeated generals were never in want
of an excuse for their lU-luek, when It .was so eqsy -
to remind the world of the constant intermeddling
of Davis with the conduct of the war aad tho gross
incouipctency of his Secretary of Was; Every dis
aster could be distinctly traced to-these sources. - If
big guns could not be furnished to every small fort;
if ammunition.were deficient at any point; if wheal
transpertation were not on hand at Bull Ron; If a
laj-ge and adequate force were not concentrated at
every point assailed, it was ihe fault and imbecility
of|Jeff. Davis. The generals and officers who
achieved successes were ths only ones who never
complained. Those who failed, not only attributed
their failure to the imbecility or interference to the
President, but regarded the success of those who
triumphed as due to his gross partiality and favor.
But, in spite of all this detraction; clamor and de-
the people of the Uuited States, the.sincere convic
tion of kb own honesty, and his unconquerable pre
ference for tho flag under which he bad fought and
rved over that of any other nation.
Wo are sustained in thif interpretation of conduct,
which has seemed so strange to many persons, by
the allegations, the only just ones we could discov
er, of Gen. Jordan’s review x»f tho character and
conduct of Mr. Davis. It is truly enough said by
thb write*, as if to.east'suspicioh upon Mr. Davis’s
sincerity and confirm the opinions oT his incapacity
as a leader and ehief, that the late Confederate Pre
sident was never regarded with confidence by the

polities in Mississippi were constantly complained
of as too sttongly spiced with Unionism; but a few
months before, the commencement of secession move
ment no greater offe.noq could be offered to him than
to impute disunion;purposes to him.-We have known
him on the stump to invite a mortal personal issue
with any man who questioned his <fo T otioa to the
Union. Tho lots Gen. Quitman, a man of Northern
birth aad education, and an enthusiast for secession,

Confidence of politicians and ambitious military

and basis of this confidence was their belief in Mr.
Davis's honesty and sincerity.. The chivali^ iu-the

order than the boastful chivalry at tl»c ambitious
political and military knights. That chivalry (re
garded him ss tbe representative and embodiment
of tho cause in which their hearth, their honor and
their all were involved, and that in hb defenea and

And thb chivalry still exists. Tho people who
were involved in the late rebelion, would confess
and exhibit themse'ves as destitute of the noblest
impulses and sentiments of humanity IT they did
not cherish a profound sympathy ana sorrow for
the loqply prisoner at Fortress Monroe, aad a fer
