In il :t Dream ?
[The following beautiful and manly stanzas were,
in part,, published some lime since in a paper in
Albany, New York, of vvhielt city, snys t lie Louis
ville Courier, the gifted author is a citizen. They
have sinee been revised and added to, and, front tt
manuscript by the author himself, we publish them
In their uttractivn perfection. The skill of versifi
cation is excellent, lint inferior to the vigor and no
biiity of the thought. We thank the gifted author
for his sympathy, and our enemies will admire, even
if they have not the manhood to practice, the tnug
nnuhnity so nobly advocated.]
I saw a nation glorious and free,
Leading a darkened world to liberty,
Firs! In the van, impetuous to strike
The festering chains from limb and soul alike,
Far o’er the rear-ward legions .shilling gleam
Her slar-ge,mned banuers. Was it but a drontu ?
Her life was young, her j>oct£freeh and bold.
x. r -.„„ prophetic; centuries foretold
Os peace and plenty ; eloquent and vise
And pure mid just jurists and statesmen rise
To shape her destinies, a God-like scheme
Os right triumphant. Was it but a dream ?
No long, dark records of a barbarous ago
Os blood and rapine, dimmed her history’s page.
No feudal chieftain held her virgin soil,
No conquering despot seized her for his spoil,
An equal people, held the power supreme
With law an order. Was it but a dream ?
The latest and the uoblcst born of time,
Her mission and her destiny sublime
Peoples to fuse with peoples, and restore
Heaven’s first design that war should rage no more,
The abject, wailing nations to redeem,
And band them brothers. Was it but a dream ?
The teeming West—a continent—her domain,
Where she sat peerless in her gentle reign,
The sun, up rising from his Atlantic bed,
On her broad brow his roseate honors shed,
And smiled upon her when his latest beam
Warmed the Pacific. Was it but a dream ?
Strong was she in her frosli exuberant health,
Ships, mines, fields, work shops, deluged her with
wealth,
New States, young empires, from the prolific stock,
In vast accretions lock and interlock,
By bonds of kin, faith, interest, it would seem,
Welded forever. Was it but a dream ?
It passed. 1 saw her ghastly, stained with blood,
Pale in the somber weeds of widowhood.
Her broad fields ridged and furrowed, wave on wave,
War’s cruel tillage—harvest of tile grave,
I saw her dungeons foul with victims teem,
And lulle, wrong, greed hold sway. Was it a dream ?
Her sacre-dfiaws, tier-cherished memories,
Her proud traditions —all the goud and « ise
Os ber best days could teach—control uo more ;
Her creeds are blotted out with sears and gore,
Her priests between tlie porch and altar scream,
Frantic for blood. Oh, God ! is it a dream ?
Hosts against hosts, who lately hand with hand
Grasped kindly, now in ranks embattled stand,
And bayonet thrust, and hiss of shot and shell,
And shriek and groan, the tale of horror tell,
Meek Savior! hear not frantic men blaspheme
Who now invoke thee! Is it but a dream f
Death in the field, death in the crowded camp,
Death on the march, death in the bivouac dump,
Death in the coll, death in gaunt famine’s clasp,
Death’s victims fall too fast for sense to grasp,
O’er all the blighted laud death reigns supreme
And hell rejoices. Is it but a dream ¥
So horror upon horror ghastly grew ;
Who talked of pity to the infuriate crew
With curse and yell was silenced, till at last,
The vengeful storm exhausted, blight and b'a- t,
Ceased from the soil the red hot flood to•steaui;
Sick with revenge we rest. Is it a dream ?
Peace yet no peace, blind passion still holds sway,
Malice and hate insatiate hug their prey,
Greedy for plunder, drunk with lawless power,
Fierce Anarchs rule the woe-begotten hour,
And all that just or merciful we deem
Frantic and scoffing spurn. Is it a dream ?
“ Vie Vietis!” is the cry with fury fraught,
Warning and prayer are scorned and sot at naught,
False as cogged dice the shameful ballots cheat,
Proscription, ruin, make the wreck complete,
Aud omens teach us that again may stream,
The blood so newly stauched. Is it a dream ?
Day-star of Freedom, sinking into night,
Must wo forever lose thy holy light?
If we now suffer thee to set in gloom,
Ours is the crime, we well deservo our doom ;
God’s vqngcful thunders gather; ere they break,
And shatter and destroy us, let us wake.
The, negroes of this city, tired of swhmitting

Radicalism had imposed ou them, with their
eyes fully opened to the character and purpose
of the Coons, and Silsbys, and Raxes, rs af,
who have cheated them with idle promises for
two years, have organized a Seymour and Blair

Speed of Wave. —A California paper relates
that “the earthquake wave which followed the
recent eruption in the Sandwich Islands was
transmitted to the Pacific coast, and recorded
on the Government self-adjusting tide gauges
at San Francisco and Astoria in about five
hours. On the 23d of December, 1864, a sim
ilar wave was transmitted to the coast of Japan
to the Golden Gate in twelve hours and thirty
eight minutes. Front Hawaii to San Francisco
the distance is more than two thousand miles.
The impulse communicated to the waters by
the eartquake shock proceeded, therefore, at
the rate of 400 miles per hour, or 6| miles per
minute. This fact—if it is a fact—will be of
great interest to men of science.
Dehocratiq 'Nomination for Congress.—

sits a bnld headed, sleek looking, eld col ired

of an ape stealing nea-nuts, receiving votes.
In the window, his feet drawn up, his hands

exercising one of the glorious privileges of
their newly acquired freedom (?) that of voting
a ticket put into their hands by their white
skinned but block hearted brethren. This
election was held for the Constitutional Con

There arc gentlemen in Ukiali now, who were
present at the farco which is dignified by the
title of an “election.” Election means choice,
and the people of Georgia laid a choice—cer
tainly ; the choice of voting as the radical
reconstructionists desired, or not voting at all.
This picture is a “silent sermon.” It presents
asplandid commentary on the working of the

Beautiful Clstom in Brazil.— A Brazilian
correspondent of the Missouri Republican gives
the following:
The person who meets w ith a sudden or a
violent death in Brazil, cither by accident or
murder, is buried by the wayside, near whete
the event happened, and a cross is set up at
the head of the grave. To this cross, as the
emblem of his faith everywhere, the Brazilian
lifts his hat in passing, and it is a beautiful
custom of the people to hung this love memen
to with flowers and garlands. 1 frequently
pass such a cross near this city, where a man
was murdered so long ago that but few remem
ber the circumstances, yet pious and unseen
hands Arc always decking the way-side cross
with wreaths end roses.
A Bad Lick on the Radicals in Ne w YYirk.
—A special election was held last week in the
town of Grafton," lleussalaer county, New
York, the residence of Griswold, the Radical
candidate for Governor. The Radical majori
ty was reduced *0 votes on a former majority
of 146. As the Radicals count heavy on
Griswold’s popularity, this was an unpromis
ing show for them. A similar falling off
everywhere would give Seymour the State by
200,000 majority.
Lincoln on Cakuet-Baggers. — We believe,
Bays tiie Philadelphia Aye, the Radicals still
• hold Mr. Lincoln’s notions in high esteem. —
Under the impression that they would not
doubt anything lie said, we commend to their
notice the following opinion he held in refer
ence to “carpet-baggers.” On November 21,
1802, he thus wrote to General Shepley at
New Orleans : ‘;To send a parcel of Northern
men here as Representatives elected, as would
be understood (and perhaps really so,) at the
point of the bayonet, would be disgraceful and
outrageous, and were Ia member of Congress
here, I would vote against ndmitting-any such
man to a seat.”
P. A. Cross, a negro of Cnarlottsville, Ya.
would not vote for C. L. Thompson, white
carpet-bagger, and Thompson presents himself
at Cross’s shop to ask if it were so. Cross told
him he had been correctly informed. “But
said Thompson, “ that is very strange : how
ean you desert your own race, Mr. Cross ?’’
Cross replied. “Will you be good enough, Mr.
Thompson, to tell me how it is that you have
deserted yours ?’’
True Words.
I arraign the Republican party as the party
of disunion. I arraign that party for breaking
the Union by denying representation to ten
States. I also arraign it f r being tho only
party which recognizes disunion. I arraign
it for needlessly keeping a standing army ia
the South, at your expense, but for the potpose
of making the white man subordinate to the
negro. I arraign that party for turning the
South into a howling wilderness. She pays
not a dollar towards supporting the Govern
ment ; but the North is taxed to keep there a
standing army as a guard over the ghastly
ruins and desolation of the South. In the
name of the ovef-burdened labor of tho North
—of tiie dead soldier who gave up his life for
tho preservation of tiie Union—and in the
name of the services and sacrifices of the Union
soldiers, I arraign the Radicals for keeping the
Union asunder; and for surrendering the
Southern States—those vast regions of wonder
ful fertility and productiveness—to the control
of a race which will cover them with a blast
ing and withering desolation. Yoorhees.
The carpet-bag Governor of Louisiana, not
withstanding he is a Jacobin, has just mani
fested a spasm of sense that will do him credit.
The carpet-bng legislature, desiring to get up
a disturbance recently, passed a resolution
calling on Gen. Grafit for additional troops for
that State, supposing it would need more since
“reconstructed.” This resolution the Governor
vetoed, and took occasion to say to the assem
bled wisdom of Louisiana that they had applied
to the strong person! This made tho carpet
baggers mad, and they will not pass any more
such resolutions. — Ex.
Artemns Ward says the only substitute for
a newspaper in this country is a ladies sewing
circle.
Facts to be Remembered.
Wo find the following in tho New York
Express. It would he difficult to crowd more
startling facts into the same space. The
statements should not only ho read, hut the
reader should preserve them for reference:
Ist. That by taxes on the people, money
enough has been raised since the war to pay
more than half of the national debt, or a sum
equal to £2,500 for every one of the negroes
made voters. (715,000) in all the Southern
States.
2d. In 1860 a Democratic administration
left the Government debt 870,000,000. From
1861 to 1865, four years of war, the Radicals
increased this debt $2,800,000,000. From
1865 to JBOR, throe years of peace, making up
with four yearn of war, seven years of Radical
thousand millions of dollars werso off than we
were in iB6O.
3d. The navy before the war cost less than
thirteen millions per year, with the shipping
interests of tho country fully protected all
over the globe. The average oost for the three
years since the war closed is over forty mil
lions per year, with our shipping interests
swept from tho ocean by taxation and high
tariffs.
4th. To show tho practical effect of Con
gressional Reconstruction, tix earpot-baggars
in the United States Senate from Florida,
North Carolina «and Louisiana, will balance
the united Senatoiial representation of New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. The last can
only represent an aggregate population of
(in round numbers) ten millions of free Amer
icans, eonstitu ting just one-third of the entire
population of the Union, and owning nearly
one-hall’ of the taxable property of the repub
lic. Their votes are neutralized by nix “Sen
ators’’ under military domination and represen
ting a population of about 2,300,000, owing
about ono-thirteeuth partof the taxable prop
erty of the United States:" 1 Os these 2,300,000
more than one-half aro ignorant negroes, while
of the remainder, constituting the American
population proper, three-fourths are refused
permission to participate in selecting their
Federal delegates.
Sth. From June to July the public debt in
creased at the i ate of over $56,000,000 per
month ! —over $13,000,(100 a week I —over s],-
750,000 a day ! —over $70,000 an hour ! —over
SI,OOO a minute I —s2l) a second ! Another
fact for ready Democratic reference.
6th. For four years the people of the United
States fought secession, and put down the re
[)(»]]!<-*-• YVUt the Radicals la C— p&HB turuea
around, and have ever since been trying to
legalize secession, and prove that it was suc
cessful in taking ten States out of the Union.
7 th. The Constitution of Alabama is a negro
Constitution to the extent of 57,000 negro
majority. In Georgia, Florida, the Carolina-,
Texas, and Virginia, where the whites had
some 20,000 more registered voters than the
blacks, nevertheless, owing to the chronic
discontent, the vote showed a negro majority
of 251,406 ! And this order of things the
Radicals seek to make perpetual.
i4th. In Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Virginia and Louisiana, every voter mustswear
that he recognizes and accepts the civil and
political equality of the black and white. The
Mississippi Convention numbers one hundred,
of whom seventy-five are whites and only five
Mississippi ans.
The Congressional Carpet-baggers.
The Baltimore Gazette's Washington corres
pondent says not the least among the induce
ments to adjourn, which controlled the action
of Congress, wins the embarrassment caused
by the advent of the carpet-baggers. Those
gentry, “in their new suits,” must needs ex
hibit themselves to the galleries by speechify
ing on the floor, and the Democratic members
have made themselves merry at their unique
display. The other day a Mr. Dewees, (who,
I learn, went South a year or two ago, and
was employed by the Freedmen’s Bureau as a
horse doctor—having some time eineo inven
ted a specific for the hots) —rose in the House
to advocate tho bill providing Springfied riflee
to be furnished the Southern negroes. A
Democrat, feeling, or pretending to feel, great
interest in what was about to be uttered, and
waggishly assuming the attitude of listening
intently, without ability to hear distinctly,
suggested that the gentleman from Kidder
minster should ascend tho rostrum in front of«
the Speaker’s desk. The fool being flattered,
proceeded to do so, in spite of the vehement
expostulations of the Radical leaders ; and to
the infinite gratification of the audience, was
taken through a delectable “course of sprouts”
by Mr. Brooks, and made to confoss that “re
construction” was worse than a failure, and
that unless it was accompanied by the bayo
net, most lead to anarchy. During his speech
a dozen Radicals, before inveterately opposed to
adjournment, eavod in, confessing that it would
not do to “stand upon the order of going,”
but to “go at once.” “Great God," said Boat
well, in sotto voce, “let ns pot a stop to this."
The Democrats toCarrtthe Country.— The
South seems likely to go with a rush for Sey
mour, and the reason is that the Republican
policy Ims been made so clear by Congress and
the reconstructiws that it is impossible to dis
guise it, especially in the most offensive point,
negro suffrage. On the other hand there is
everything to hope from the Democrats, and
the Southern people believe that they will
have the sympathy of the leaders of that party.
In all the Sontheir States we shall see *very
nearly what we have just seen in Kentucky,
; and as the Democrats will certainly divide the
North, there is tho highest probability that
a sweeping success in tho-South will give them
the country. —Xcw York Herald, Auyasl 12.

[From the Albany, N. Y. t Argus,]
The Radical Party— A BriefChapler.fiom
its Riktory,
Would be Vice-President Colfax, in a recent
speech assorts that “the history of the Repub
lican party is written in the brightest pages
of our country’s annals.” The following are
the mfive prominent results of tho success of
the radical party which now seeks by usurpa
tions and military Dree to perpetuate its pow
er, as stated by the New York Express:
Ist. The history of the Radical party began
in 1860 in a war, which extremists North and
South labored to precipitate.
2d. Iu two millions of men, North and
South in iw-nui, facing each other with the
most destructive weapons of n arfar.o of mod
ern invention.
-ou. hi tne joss to North and Sautp, m^over
500,000 lives.
4th. In an expenditure of oyer four billions
of dollars for the North alone—if-^00Q.000,-
000.
sth. In an existing debt of two billions and
a ha1f—52,500,000,000.
6th. In the heaviest taxation ever imposed
upon any people in any country, under which
our labor is so groaning that it can nowhere
come into competition, even with taxed Germa
ny, England or France.
7th. The enormous high prices upon every
thing.
Bth. In an irredeemable currency of mere
pa|>er money, $800,000,0(30 in National Banks,
which is paying the owners of them 10 to 30
per cent, per annum, and in $400,000,000 of
greenbacks, not good enough even to pay duties
to the custom-house, or intere«t"due the bond
holders on their $2,5(X),0<X),000 of debt.
Wth. Iu a standing army of 60,000 men on
paper, 56,000 men in fact, costing millions and
millions of dollars, nearly $2,000,000 for every
regiment.
10th. In the hordes of Freedmen’s Bureau
office-holders, paid by the North to govern the
npgroes of the South, ousting millions per an
num.
11th. In eleven negro-governed States, ad
mitting the most brutish darkey to vote, but
excluding over 3<X>,ooo of the most intelligent
white vote*.
12th. In a tariff which drives off from the
outer ocean (reserving for Americans only tho
coastwise trade) almost every Amerioan ship
and which nearly stops all foreign ship build
ing in the United States.
13th. In a tariff’ monopoly which every
where makes the*rich richer, and tho poor

Beautiful Sentiment.
The beautiful sentiment below is from the
pen of George B. Hilliard :
I confess that increasing years bring with
them increasing respect for men who do not
succeed in life, as those words are commonly
used. Heaven is said to be a plaoe for those
who have not succeeded on earth, and it is sure
that celestial grace does not thrive and bloom
in that hot blaze of worldly prosperity. 11l
success sometimes arises from a superabun
dance of qualities in themselves—from a con
science too sensitive, a taste too fastidious, a
6elf-forgetfulness too romantic, a modesty too
retiring. I will not go so far as to say, with
a living p.iet, “the world knows nothing of its
greatest men,” but there are forms of great
ness, at least excellence, which die and leave
no sign ; there are martyrs that miss the palm
but not the stake ; heroes without the laurel,
and oonqnerore without the triumph.
Call for the Re-assembling of Congress.
—The "Washington Star, of yesterday after
noon, has the following, which is not aurprfc
ing in view of the desperation of the political
el dm ent which undertakes to govern and per
petuate itw power in the South ;
A movement is on foot among Southern
politicians looking toward a call from the
.Southern Legislature* for Congress to re-assem
ble in September. They profess to have no
faith that tho military will be used in good
faith to protect tee existing State Governments
without further legislation, <nd expect when
the Pre.-idcntial election arrivea to sea oarried
into effect a extensive system of terrorism
and fraud. Se veral new Governors of South
ern Stotee recently made requisitions on tho
Secretary of War for arms unrter a law passed
in 1766, but the Secretary has declined to fur
nish until further legislation is had on the
subject. The Governors, in consequence,
have united in an appeal to Congress to meet
on the day to which they had adjourned to
take action in the matter. •-? * *'■
To Prevent Uorses heinc Teased by Flies
—Take rwo or three small handfuls of walnut
leaves, upon which pour two or three quarts of
cold water; let it infuse one night, and pour
the whole next morning into a kettle and let it
boil for a quarter of an hour. When cold it
will be fit for use. No more is required than
to moisten a sponge, aud before the horse goes
out of tho stable, rub his ears, neck, flanks,
and suoh parts as are most irritable, with the
jiquor. The remedy is simple and sure.
“Oxr. oe tiie Straws.” —We observed, says
the Mobile Tribune, a large United States wag
on yesterday afternoon, drawn by two staunch
horses, going up Royal street, in which were
seated several soldiers. Behind the ears of
the horses w ro fixed Seymour aud Blair
flags.
So we go. Blair’s word as a soldier suits
these “gallant boys in blue” better than
Grant’’*, the butcher of thoir comrades.—
Thete is no comparison as to statesmanship
between Seymour and Colfax.
The bleakest adversity may bear us to pros*
perity. The Arctic wanderer may float into q
warm latitude on a cake of ice.
