OUR DEAD.
BY OOL. A. M. HOBBY.
“ My House shall be called of all nations
the house of prayer; but ye have made it a
den of thieves.”
“ Beware of false prophets which come to
you in sheep’s clothing; but inwardly they
are ravening wolves.”
‘•lt was the worst work that Satan and sin
undertook in this world; and they that
suffered in it were not martyrs in the good
cause, but convicts in a bad one. Who
shall comfort them that sit by dishonored
graves ."—Sermon of Henry Ward Beecher.
Vile, brutal man! and darest thou
In God’s anointed place to preach—
With Impious tongue and brazen brow—
The lessons Hell would blush to teach?
The cruel taunt thy lips hath hissed
Beneath Religion’s holy screen,
Is false—as false as Iscariot’s kiss;
Isfsalsase —as thou art vile and mean.
Are these the lessons which He taught?
And was His mission here in vain?
Peace and good will seem words of naught;
Hell rules the earth with hate again!
And thou ! its chosen instrument.
Hyena-like, with heartless tread,
Hast dared invade, with blood-hound scent,
The sacred precincts of the dead.
Not such from those, dear brave old South,
.Who met thee in thine hour of might!
But from the coarse, polluted mouth
Os coward curs who feared to tight.
Lear loved old South! contemn the curse
That those who hate shall heap on you ;
You’ve wept behind War’s bloody hearse,
That bore away your brave and true!
«
Their previous blood, though Vainly shed—
Long as thy shore old Ocean laves—
We’ll bow with reverence o’er our dead,
And bless the turf lhat wraps their
graves.
From Mexico to Maryland,
Those graves are strewn like autumn
leaves—
What though no mother’s tender hand
Upon their tomb a chaplet weaves.
Nor wives, nor sisters bend above
The Honored soldier’s unmarked mound;
They are objects of eternal love
In consecrated Southern ground.
It recks not where their bodies lie —
By bloody hill-side, plain or river—
Their names are bright on Fame's proud
sky,
Their deeds of valor live forever.
Lie song-birds of the South shall slug
From forrests grand, and flowery stein
And gentlest waters murmuring,
Crate to hymn their requiem.
And Spring will deck their hallowed bed
With types of resurrection’s day ;
And silent tears the Night hath shed
The Morning’s beam will kiss away.
Those heroes rest in solemn fame
On every field where Freedom bled ;
And shall we let the touch of shame
Fall like a blight upon our dead ?
No—wretch ! we scorn thy hatred now,
And hiss thy shame from pole to pole,
The brutes are better far than thou,
And Hell would blush to own thy soul.
“ Dishonored graves ?” take back the lie
That’s breathed by more than human
hate,
Lest, Ananias-like, you die, -
Not less deserving of his fate,
Our Spartan women bow in dust,
Around their country’s broken shrine ;
True -as their souls are noble—just,
Pure—as their deeds have been divine ;
Their Angel hands—the wounded cheered;
Did all that woman ever daree—
When wealth and homes had disappeared,
They gave us tears, aud smiles, and
prayers.
They, proudly gave their jewels up—
For all t hey loved—as worthless toys ;
Drank the dregs of Want’s bitter cup
To feed our sick and starving boys.
Their glorious flag on high no more
Is borne by that unconquered hand ;
’Tis luried upon the “silent shore”—
Its heroes, stili around it stand.
No more beneath its folds shall meet
The armies of immortal LEE ;
Th§ rolling of their drums’ last beat
Is echoing in eternity in eternity !
Galveston, Texas, Jan. iB6O.
Tin- subject of emigration still at
tracts general attention in the South. The
Charleston Courier says :
“\Ye are informed that about two weeks
since a company of fifty emigrants sailed
from -Yew York for Charleston. As yet
we have not heard of their arrival at this
•port. We occasionally notice a paragraph
in our New Orleans and Mobile exchanges,
alluding to the arrival of a small body of
white emigrants at oneor the other of those
places, Out we fail to observe any record of
the landing of large numbers. Os the
Southern States, Virginia has taken the
lead in the matter of furnishing homes to
emigrants. Nearly six hundred have set
tled within her boundaries since April,
1855. We learn that several ageus from
the South are at present in New York for
the express purpose of endeavoring to pre
vail upon emigrants, who arrive each week,
to secure homes at the South. We hope,
by all means, they may succeed in their ef
forts. We take the authority of several
planters, with whom -we have conversed
on the subject, that it is the desire of a ma
jority of that class of the citizens of South
Carolina, to give the system of white labor
au impartial and extended trial. Some
thing must be done to secure white labor
ers, in case the freedman’s contract system
should prove unsuccessful. The lands of
the State must be cultivated. Cotton must
be raised and brought to market, before
our people can hope to realize sufficient
means to enable them to place affairs in a
prosperous condition. The result of the
i present Crop depends almost wholly on the
i willingness or unwillingness of the freed
men to labor through the season. By early
j fall we shall be abie to judge more accu
rately of the value of the system under
which the plantations are now worked.”
ti@r» Mr. Win. Alexander, of the vicin
ity of Tuseumbia, Alabama, is having his
farm worked by a colony of some fifty
Georgians, who have left their own State
allured by the advantages otfered by the
Tennessee Valley. Mr. Alexander fur
nishes feed for the plow stock, the land
fanning utensils, houses, wood, etc. ami
paovisions, which the laborers are to pav
for when the crop is made. The laborers
furnish their own horses, having brought
them with them, and the crop, after being
gathered, is equally divided.
The Wheat Chop.— The Rome (Ga.)
Commercial says: Wehavebeen conversing
during the last week with gentlemen from
the surrounding counties and from the ad
joining counties of Alabama, and we learn
that the wheat crop never looked more
promising. In Gordon county more wheat
lias been sowed than for many years
and the farmers anticipate a rich harvest!
We have in Floyd a large quantity of
wheat sowed, but not as much as we sowed
before the war. The Commercial very
sensibly recommends the farmers to plant
large crops of corn to fatten their bogs
ana not rely on the Westfor th*ir supplies’

No. 20 South Delaware \venue,
PHILADELPHIA.
This valuable Manure has been before the agri
cultural public, under one name, for twelve years
past, and its character for vigor of action and per
manence in effect is well established. Before the
war it was introduced to some extent in the South
ern States, and was found to be highly adapted to
Cotton, Tobacco and all Crops.
And as a perfect substitute for Peruvian Guano,
(afforded at less than one half the cost,) it has been
adopted by agriculturists of known intelligence
and discrimination. It is warranted not to ex
haust the soil, but on thecoutrary permanently, to
improve it. The sales now amount to many thou
sand tons annually, and the facilitias for its man
ufacture are extensive and complete.
Pamphlet describing its distinctive claims rnny
be had on application to the undersigned agent of
the manufacturers from whom the MANURE may
at all times be obtained.
