'The morning crept slowly on—
first into gray dawn, then in o rosy
flush. Still on ! still on ! The mists
crept upward and into line yon
wheeled, and on your muskets lay
down, each man in place, to get
scant rest, which even in the ex-
haustion of those thirty-six hours of
terrible marching you neither sought
nor heeded. You were squarely
across Lee’^ front, and had closed
forever his last line of retieat.
The enemy reaching your cavalry
advance, iaw the serried line ol
Union troopers. Gordon gathered
and massed his men for their lasL
charge. Tattered and hungry, worn
by ceaseless marching and fighting,
with no hope ot victory, with little
possibility of escape, they closed
their lines with a fidelity of discip
line and soldierly resolution, to
which words can do little jusiice—
but which each soldier’s heart must
recognize and honor.
As the old guaitl close*l around
their Emperor at Waterloo, so these
lien closed round the tligsot their
lost cause. My heart abhors their
treason. Rut it warms beyond re-
iraint to their manhood so grandly
brave, even in disloyalty. Slowly
they advanced to their last attack.
No bailie yell, no crack ol the skir-
nisher’s nile broke the strange still-
tiess ot that SaDbalh morn. Steadi
ly, silently they came, when Siteri-
dan drew back Ins horseman, as
parts some mighty curtain, and there
stood the close-formed battalions o!
your infantry, the cannon gleaming
in the openings, quietly awaiting the
coming ot Gordon’s men.
Instinctively your enemy halted.
Meanwhile Lee has turned back to
meet Grant and surrender his com
mand. Sheridan swung his caval
ry around upon Gordon s left, and
was about to charge, when Cusiar
reached Longstrcel. As.-uranee of
surrender was given, and the end
had come.
That Sabbath day, with tears and
in sorrow, Southern men folded the
banners ot the ‘’Lost Cause, and
their bravest and best sought hon
orably to bury them Horn sight for
ever.
How sail it is that poor ambitions,
jealousies of race, the wretched
greed of pel) and place, arid the mis
erable hates ofsoJial rivalries,should
so often disturb the hearty reconcil
iation of that surrender and for a
time revive the bitterness which you
then sought to bury in a common
grave.
This hour ts no time tor polities.
Mine not the lips, I t,rust, to intro
duce them heie. But when l think
of that heroic past, which your faces
and presence so vividly recall, and
then how trading, trickster politic
cians, forgetful of what baptism of
blood sealed the new birth of th*
nation, seek to array races in need'
less hostility, to exude the ignorance
of the one and the brutal prejudices
of the other, l would like to summon
a guard, half from the rebel army of
Northern Virginia and half from the
loyal army of the Potomac, take
such malcontents out, give them a
drum-head court-martial, immediate
execution and soldierly burial under
the apple tree at Appomattox.

A Eemarkable Sermon.
Those who attended the Presby
terian Church yesterday morning
had the satisfaction of listening to
one of the most remarkable discourses
perhaps ever delivered in this city.
The sermon was preached by Jos.
1L Wilson, D. D., pastor of the
church ; and his subject was “ The
New Heaven and the New Earth,”
founded on the first three verses of
ihe 21st chapter of Revelations.
Dr. Wilson is a man whose dis
courses are uniformly able and inter
esting—full of fresh and vigorous
thought, showing profound erudi
tion, anil careful elaborate prepara
tion. But, as with other men of his
class, there are limes when his whole
being seems imbued with a great
theme; he rises above the plain of
his ordinary preaching, and speaks
with an authority anti a power above
and beyond himself. The conditions j j roin destruction,
of such an almost inspired c-tiorl are ^ however, seems not entirely accu
that the speaker has discovered, in ra ^ e which represents Mr. Greeley
In the last issue of the Baltimore
Episcopal Methodist, we find the
following article, which is copied en
tire, to show the calm, sober view,
even of the religious element of the
country’, respecting the Cincinnati
nominations. This journal is one of
the leading organs of the denomina
tion it represents, and Baltimore has
shown herself as loyal to her suffer
ing brethren of the remote South, as
the needle to the pole, or the light
artn to the volitions of the brain in
the human organization :
The Political Situation.—The
political world of the United Slates
has been stirred-to its profoundest
depths hv the nomination of Horace
Greeley for the Presidency by the
Cincinnati Convention—which also
nominated Gov. Brown, of Missouri,
for the Vice Presidency. This nom
ination, which might have been sup
posed to have no strength except in
the North, seems to have its chiet
strength in the South, of whose in
stitutions he has been the life-long
opponent. But it seems to be con
sidered in the South, that its present
and future are more important than
its past, and that its true course is
uphold any legitimate agencies of
deliverance which promise to restore
its peace and prosperity.
As a drowning man ‘would not re
fuse to be rescued from death by an
old enemy, if such should generous
ly come to the assistance, the South
is ready to receive aid from any
quarter which will help to rescue ii
The illustration,
the Scriptures some truth which has
eluded the grasp of others, and the
knowledge of which he believes to
be essential to a harmonious and
perfect system of theology, and to
the happiness of mankind. Only in.
dependent and original thinkers
preach such sermons, and he who
produces a half dozen of that order
as on enemy of the South. His abo
litionism seems to have been an
honest fanaticism, which is at all
events more respectable than the
patronage of negroes by Gen. Grant,
who once said he would sooner join
the South than use his sword for ab
olition purposes. As the friend of
amnesty and peace, Mr. Greeley
tempt to nominate straight out Dem
ocratic party candidate® to profit by
the threatened split in the Republi
can party would be a blunder worse
than a crime. The mistake the
Democracy committed in 1S68, by
nut nominating Chase instead of
Seymour, cost the country four years
of the most detestable government
the Republic was ever cursed with.
A little mistake now in 1S72 would
increase the evils we suffer, fasten
corruption still more upon the coun
try, and inflict upon it another term
of Grant, endangering the very life
of true republicanism. The almost
universal appeal made to us in the
North by the people South, to sink
for the moment all personal preju
dice and p arty pride, in order to
deal the death blow to Grantism as
embodied in national corruption and
sectional persecution, calls for a
prompt, generous and hearty in
dorsement of Horace Greeley,
which we hope the Rochester Con
vention will not tail to proclaim.—
Should the Democratic party of
Baltimore insist on making indepen
dent party nominations, and (Jisre**
gard the evident desire of the people
to replace, greedy Grant by honest
Horace, the whole country will be
sadly disappointed and betrayed,
and Grant’s continuance in the pow
er he has so criminally abused wilt
become assured.
Tub Shallowness of Betting.
The habit of offering to bet, which
besets many persons inordinary dis
course, is A mark of untutored intel
lect. The man who has no better
argument is perpetually offering to
bet: it seems as if tie wanted rea
soning powers, ami therefore he
backs every trivial allegation with a
bet. This is an expedient, howev
er, which no rational |»ersoii should
resort to. A company of well in
formed and sensible men will enter
tain each other with easy conversa
tion lor a whole evening, and amidst
lighter mailers, settle many ques
tions in morals or m logic, without
ever so much as thinking ol a bet.
)t is no more necessary to reasoning
than swearing oi " slang are to lan
guage, but, on the contrary, disgrace
it; and hence, even as a matter ol
taste, the sensible man rejects it.

f Coiom-1 John Forsyth, the well-
known political editor of the Mobile
Register, and a member of the Dem
ocratic National Committee, has
written some interesting letters home
to his paper. From his last, we ex
tract the following paragraphs r*-
girding the future action ot Lite Dem
ocratic party:
“I have been called a ‘Bourbon,’
and I know it is a very pretiy thing
to say, ‘SiamI by your guns,* but I
trust 1 have good si use enough to
know that when your guns do not
reach, they must be movt d up io
withm range ot the enemy. Hence,
while 1 greatly prefer lhal the Dem
ocratic parly J*tr se> under its own
flag, sliail prove ihe Moses to loud
•is out of the land of bondage, i shall
he sure to follow’ the Moses who
mourns the peaks of I’isguh and
shows us the Way.”
‘ However, and in whatsoever di-
r *cti*m we move, we should move
together, and thus preserve, for pres
ent efficiency and for In ure useful
ness, the unbrokt n integiiiy of our
party- J say it is premature io de
termine npoujlu course. The Na
tional Committee has purposely giv
en two mouths lor consideration of
the important question. It saw that
there was no me.l of precipitancy.
At this moment, we hold in ihe palms
ol our hands the destinies of the
Presidential election. Cincinnati has
already made us the arbiters in ihe
case, and our ability to beat Gram,
by siding with Greeley, is already
assured. So much we have clearly
gained, so tar. Nor are we in dan
ger of losing that advantage. The
Greeley parly can afford to w’ait tor
us, because it must wail for us, and
cannot budge a step without us In
deed, Mr. Greeley is open iu the
declaration that if we do not help
him, lie w ill not stand to be crushed
between the upper and nether mill
stones, but will come down. But he
is not a man lo resign hope of the
glittering piize, while we are under
<>ur ‘thinking cap.’ Nor do l per
ceive that a little suspense will cause
them to value us the less, or tend in
the 1* asi lo narrow the breach be
tween the Republican factions.”'
*‘iVe know not what sixty days
may develop. As strange things as
have happened may happen again
by the 9lh of July. Who believed
sixty days ago that the bugbear of
Radical invincibility, which has been
the cause oi such spasmodic efforts
to ‘depart’ and ‘passivise’ and aban
don the firm and only sate ground
of truth, was so near an explosion ?
Now we see it was but a bubble,
needing only to be pricked to col
lapse into nothingness. Grant is
doomed the day and the hour the
De >.ocralic Convention says, “\Ve
nominate the Cincinnati ticket.”
Don’t be uneasy about the he ding

“Well, then, we are in no danger
of flanking movements from either
of the forces in the field. The split
is a real one, and means the final
disintegration ot the Radical party.
It has lived its day, and it goes to its
grave and the final judgment of pos
terity. Then the Democratic party
has lime to think aud to ‘build wise
ly.’ If we can do no better, we are
sure that we can slay Grant, the gi
ant, with the bucolic Horace; the
disciple of Tubal Cain, who ‘fash
ioned the sword and the spear,’ with
the pen oi the civilian and the
ploughshare of the man of cabbages,
who ‘knows about farming.” But
may we not do better ? It is at least
worth the thought. Of this anon.”
•‘By appointment, not of my seek
ing, 1 had the honor of an interview
this morning, with a gentleman I
have long been perfectly acquainted
with, but never saw before, to-u’it:
the gentleman who is now selling
the fashion of white hats. Had I
space, it would puzzle me to tell my
readers anything new about Mr.
Greeley. He was very fr^mk in his
talk in the main, and 1 followed his
example and told him the South
would go for him, if we could do no
better, to beat Grant; but we thought
we could do belter and were going
to give it a fair trial. The old gen
tleman pleased me as a man, but I
was not stunned. I have an idea
that he has in him the stuff to make
a ‘bully’ Democrat, could we get
him in proper training. And I am
ready to swear that had he been
Southern born and bred, he would
have slept with a cockade in his
night-cap and have been a ‘red hoi’
before breakfast secessionist! I do
not think he would have ‘licked’ his
niggers hard ; for he has a benevo
lent look—but as. Grant has said
about himself, he would havejusi ns
soon owned slaves as any other kind
of property.” “J. F ”
