Awake! to horse, my brother,
For the snn is glimmering grey;
And, hark! in the crackling Brushwood
There are feet that tread this way.
Who comethI A friend!—what tidings!
Oh! tiod, I sicken to tell,
Por earth seems ear h no longer.
And its sights are sights of belt:
There’s rapise and fire and slaughter .
From the mountain down to the chore,
There’s blood on the tiampted harvest,
And Mood on the homestead floor.
Prom the far off conquer'd cities
Gomes the voice of stifled wail,
And shrieks and moans of the houseless
King ont like a dirge on the gale.
I’ve seen the smoking Tillage,
Our mothers and daughters fly—
l’rc seen whe-e the little children
flank down in the furrows to die.
’ Where my home was glad, are ashem,
And liorr^r and whaniehiid been there,
Por I found on the fallen liutel
This tress of my wife’s torn hair.
They are turning the stares upon us,
And with more than a fiend’s worse art,
Have uueover'd tbe fire of the savage
That slept.in his untaught heart.
The tics to our heart that bound him
They have rent witli curses away,
And madden'd him with their madness
To l>e almost as brutal 'os t hsy !
With-halter, with torch and table
And hymns—tho souud of the drum—
They preach the gospel of murder.
And pray for lust’s kingdom come.
To saddle! to saddle! my 1 mothers,
I,ook up to tlie rising sun,
Aud ask of the Uod who shijes there
Whether deeds like these shall be done!
Whittier ibe vandal eometli,
Press home to his heart with your steel;
And where in his lioeoni ye cannot,
I.ike the serpent, go strike at Ills heel.
Thro’ thicket and wood go hunt'him, .
t’reep up to his ramp fire side,
And let tell of his corpses blacken
Where one of our brothers have oied.
In his fainting foot-sore marches—
In his flight from the stricken fray—
In the screen of the lonely ambush—
Tin- debts that we owe him, pay.
In fiod’s liniu) alone is vengeance,
Pul lie strikes with the hands of men.
And a blight would wither our manhood
If we smote not the smiter again.
By tho graves-wliere our fathers slumber—
By the’ slirines where our mothers prayed—
By our homes and hopes and freedom—
Let every man swenr to his blade!
They swore, and the answering sunlight
Loan’d red from their lifted swords.
And tlie hate in theirhearts made eeho
' To the wannth in their burning words.-
There’s weeping in all New England,
And by Schuylkill’s bank a Knell,
And the widows there, and the orphans,
How the oatli was kept can tell.

The Flour Insp'-esaraeiit Case—an lujuttc
lion Granted l>y Judge Lyons.
The Richmond Whig gives the following
abstract of the decision of Judge Lyons
in relation to the impressment, of a certain
lot of flour belonging to fra. B. Isaacs :
On tbo 7th of March, 1863, William B.
Isaacs presented his bill, stating that he
was th« owner of 960 barrels of Superfine
and Extra Snpetfine flour, which he had
purcbased.in October, for about the eum of
$22,000, and on which he had incuir d
considerable expenses in drayage, atoreage
etc., arid that he had been informed that
Major John H. Claibom, acting, as was
alleged, under the orders of the Secretary
of War. had given notice to Dunlop, Mun-
cure * Co., in whose warehous tne flour
was stored, that he had impressed the same
for the use of the Confederate Government;
and that the Government will allow him
in payment, tho price of $17,50 per barrel
for tho superfine, and $19,50 for the Extra
Superfine, being nearly $3,000 less than he
paid for it, and nearly $12 per barrel less
than the market price in Richmond. The
injunction was prayed for to prevent the
removal of the flour, until just compensa
tion should be made, or until some provis
ion should be made for ascertaining what
is iust compensation for the floor.
The Judge was of the opinion that under
the Constitution of the Confederate States,
no impressments of private property could
be raado, unless absolutely demanded by
public exigency, for the use of the army,
and it had been plainly shown that in the
present case no such exigency existed:
that Congress, in whom resides the power
of eminent domain, so far as the Confederate
Government is concerned, has no right to
authorize the taking of private .property
without providing just compensation there-

A Change of Base—Thnrlow Weed Retires
and, Ln! the President Tarns Ilia Baric
on the Radicals.
j, The Albany A rgus gives the following espla
nation of the retirement oi Thurlow Weed from
the Evening Journal, of that place. Says ihe
Argue :
The headlong course of destruction ‘ upon
which tlie abolitionists are bent, alarms -the re
publican leaders. * They are powerless to arrem
it ; and they are determined, rather than share
tho destruction, to cut loose ! Mr. Weed sees
what is coining—tho ruin ol the country .and the
infamy which will tali upon the fanatics guilty
of this great crime. He wishes publicly to
wash his "hands of ihe future; and he advises
bis friends lo follow his example. The “new
party movement”. i9 a movement to escape Irom
the fate ol abolitionixed-republicanism ; and,as
in a shipwreck, a raft or a plank is seized to
float on.ao the refugeesare willing to accept of
any device that will carry them out of the reach
of the catastrophe.
» Most excellent reasons for ihe action of a gen
tleman of eegacity. But Mr. Weed not only
wishes to save himself, but also, is desirous of
saving ihe Piesideni. Therefore he be>akes
himself lo Washington and had a two hours’
private, uninterrupted talk with Mr. Lincoln;'
and the rumor now is that Mr. Seward, and not
Mr. Chase, is now master ol the situation, and
that the President will, hereafter, make his ap
pointments from among the conservatives.—
That is understood to be Mr. Lincoln’s present
intention. The New York Tribune’* Washing
ton correspondent: so understands it, for, in a
recent dispatch, he says:
The new OfpositioN Organization—The
confirming power of tho government is ready
for tho nominations to the office that are relied
on to build up the newly-hatched democratic-
republican conservative party; ready, but not
hospitable,” - .
Which means that the radical Abolition sen*
at'or—the same who demanded of-Mr. Lincoln a
change of his Cabinet—will reject Mr Lincoln’s
nomination’s, if made for tho Seward-Weed
branch of the family. If Mr Lincoln has really
ent loose from the radical abolitionists—and
there is much that looks that way—Ihe change
will be as remarkable as that which distinguish
ed his conversion on the emancipation proclam
ation.
We see that some of the eastern papers do not
S ive Mr. Weed credit for patriotic motives but
eclarethat he has adopted this change of party
relations, the better to enable him to' overthrow
the personal enemies-of Mr. Seward in and out
of ihe Cabinet, especially Messrs. Chase’and
Greely.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Yazoo is said to Lo an Indian narao,
signifying tho Uivor of Death. The wa
ter of the river is always of a stagnant,
slimy thickness, and certain to produce an
incurable disea-:e when used any length of
time.- Nearly , all the men in Gen. Sher
man’s army who went up tho Yazoo were
elfrcted hy the water, anti some of the
wounded who have returned are yet suf
fering from the disease there contracted.

More History.
The same friend to whom wo are indebted for
the short paragraphs from Dr. Franklin’s letters
during tho revolution which wo published yeBs
tertlay, showing tho feeling in those days on the
part of the colonists towards the government of
England to bo exactly similar to ours, in this
day, towards the Lincoln dsnasty, ha* sent us
the following, which we lake great pleasure in
publishing:
I send you a further extract which will show
tho sentiment ot the Minister, Dr. Franklin,
whose Peace was agreed upon; also the speech
of George III, announcing it to Parliament. In
a letter to Shiply, Dean ol St. Asapt, Franklin
writes:
“The clamor against the peace of your Pare
liament would alarm me, for its duration, if I
were not of your opinion that the attack is rath
er against the Minister. They talk much oi
there being no reciprocity in our treaty. They
think nothing then of our pas.-ing over in silence
t(;e atrocities committed by their troops and de
manding no satisfaction for their wanton burn
ings and devastations of our fair towns and
countries. They have heretofore confessed ihe
war to be unjust, and nothing U plainer in reas
oning than that (he mischiefs done in an unjust
war should be repaired. Can Englishmen be so
iariial to themselves as to imagine that they
tave a right jo plunder and destroy as much aB
they please, and then, without sxtisfying-for the
injuries they have done, to have the peace on
equal toms ? * * * America with God’s bless
ing, becomes a great and happy country; and
England if she has at length gained wisdom,
will have gained something more valuable and.
more essential to her perpetuity than all she
has lost, and will still be a great and respectable
nation.”
You may send to Mr. Lincoln, when you write
him, this extract from George Ill’s speech front
the Throne:
In thus admitting their separation from the
crown of tbeso Kingdoms, I have sacrified
every consideration of my own, to the wis
dom and opinion of my people. I make it
niy humble and earnest prayer lo Almighty
God that Great Britain may not fee 1 tho evils
whioh might result from so groat a dismem
berment of the empire. Having manifested
to the whole world, by tho most lasting ex
amples, the signal spirit and bravery of my
people, 1 conceived it a moment not unbecom
ing my dignity, and thought it a regard due
to the lives aud fortunes of suchjbravo and
gallant spirits, to Bhow myself ready, ou my
part, to announce fair aud honorable terms of
accommodation with all tho powers of wur.—
1 have tho satisfaction to acquaint you that
negotiations to this effect are considerably
advanced; and I have every reason to hope
and reason to believe that I shall have it in
my power in a very short time, to acquaint
you that they have ended in terms of pacifica
tion, wh ch 1 trust you will see just cause to
approve.”

tles. •
A message was reoeived irom ther Governor
in reference to Ihe Cotton Card Works, which
was referred to. a Special Committee. The
Governor states that 100 pair cards could be
turned out per day, if there was on hand a
supply of wire. Engagements have been
made with a firm in Dalton—Messrs Ruteol,
Brother & Co., to make wire,' and partios are
also engaged to import a supply through the
blockade. The exact cost of making a pair
of cotton cards is about $4. Two new ma
chines are completed, and three more well
under way, with five more half done, and
three large machines begun, making 44 inoh
oard cloth for factories. About 1200 cards
have beon made since the purchase by the
State, which have been sold lor sheep and
dogskins. Tho Governor says that Messrs.
Lee & Co, did not turn over more than wire
enough to make 1160 pairs of cards, when
ithey contracted to furniBh enough to make
12,000, and he recommends that the value of
the wire be deducted from the sum to be paid
for the works. He does not deem it best to
purchase the remaining half interest, as, ac
cording to the contract the 8t#te controls the
works as fully as though it owned them all,
the interest cant ot be bought except at an
exorbitant price.
Wednesday, April let.
MORNING SESSION.
The Senate was opened with prayer by
Rev. Mr. Smith of the House-
Mr. Moseley moved to reconsider the bil!
to repeal the law preventing negroes from
preaching and exorting. The motion was
discussed at length and lost. It seems to be
the settled conviction of the Legislature, as
it is douotlees, of the public mind, that the
churches should control the matter for them
selves.
Judga Gibson introduced a bill to prevent
the circulation of United States Treasury
notes. It makes it a penitentiary oflence.
It is a good bill, and an important step to
prevent the mammonites of tbe land from
dealing in “Green Backs” as they are al
ready doing in Richmond.
Judge Gibeon also introduced a bill to’
punish a refusal to receive Confederate mon
ey—makes the penalty a forfeiture of double
the amount refused.
The following are the ayes and nays on the
bill to repeal the law to prevent negroes from
learning to read, passed on yeaterday:

The Columbus (Miss.) Republic has the fol
lowing:
A little incident came to our knowlo.lgo of
a certain parly, who bad purchased a largo
amount of wool and a trifle, over one thous
and dollars’ worth of sugar. The wool was
especially valuable, and the sugar was also to
begot through. Aflor somo manoeuvre bn
the pat t of the owner, he got a car and load
ed it up, paying handsomely for the same,
putting the sugar in sacks. When the car
came to bo switched on tbe traok, tho switch
man demanded his part, and received, we be
lieve, forty dollars. Soon after the engiueon
came along, and declared that he would not
take that wool and sugar., through without
half the sugar. It was given him. Soon af
ter the conduolor came along, and stated that
the wool could go, but he must have the other
half of the sugar. There was no appeal, and
tho other half followed the first. Tho wool
came through. The owner had also paid
freight in advance for both wool and sugar.
We find the above going the rounds of the
press. We have no idea that thore is any
truth in it. It is a self evident exaggerated
fabrication, whioh will not boar tbe slightest
examination.
Tbe mo3t abandoned extortioner in the
country would not pay so high for transpor
tation as is here represented. It is moro than
any man could make up on any spScuiation.
And then such sweeping charges of the ba
sest corruption against tho railroad men of
every grade from the highest to the lowest in
a single locality is what no sane man can for
a moment eredit. People who regard their
veracity and desire othors to believe what
they say, should be careful how thoy talk;
and editors who are influenced by the same
consideration should be equally careful what
they publish. We are astonished to find ex
perienced editors all over the country so
thoughtless as to put such an improbable—
such a slanderous—story into their columns
without qualification.

No Paroles UscognfzeU.
A flag of truce boatafrom Grant's fleet came
iiowa to Ibe vicinity of our upper l.atfo; ot
Vicksburg on Saturday last, for the purpose
communicating to ihe commander of tbe de
partment that paroles granted to Federal
prisoners by Confederate officers would not
be recognized. The orders came from head
quarters at Washington, consequently we may
regard this os the settled policy of the Abnli
lion leader.
Of course the object of this line of policy
is to awe their own soldiery. It is really an
admission of the demoralization of their army.
Their desertions have become so frequent, and
surrenders made with such facility, that some
thing must be done to stop both. The frigh.-
ful stories told of tho manner in which bGtli
deserters and those who were almost volun
tary prisoners were treated by the Confeder
ates, has been disproven, and this step is tak
en to keep these men in ranks. As their
policy is in direct violation of the rules of
war, as well 03 tbe terms of the exchange car
tel between the two governments, it should
not be regarded so far as we are concerned.—
The balance orexchangcs is greatly in our fav
or now—prisoners are daily coming into our
hands—these we do not want to guard and
feed. Let them be paroled, and sent home.—
If they submit to the tyranny of their own
government, allow themselves to be placed in
the service again before being regulsrlarly ex
changed, and r.re again captured, letthe speci
fied punishment for their crime against mili
tary law be visited upon them. This course
our authorities would certainly be justified in
pursuing —Memphis Appeal.
