From dho Memphis Avalanche.
Answer lu the "lllue ami the
Gray.”
On laps of the light-crested hills,
On the breast of th* broad-bosomed moadows,
Strangers sleep under the cypress, the piuo,
The land of the blossom, the land of the vine
And the hush of the bluo mountain shadows.
They sleep there forever and eye,
Till the awful lasribreak of the morning—
Under tho ashOs, the ruin they made,
The lunl that they wasted, the blood that
they shed—
In their long silence only atoning.
Forgive them the wrong they have done,
For the claim of the dead on the living.
“Vengeance is mine; love and mercy belong,’
God sayetb, “to me,’ - and tho right and the
wrong
Lie with him who is strong in forgiving.
Fwrive thorn, and leave them to God!
Tis enough from tho land that is weeping—
Desolate land, that Is only the grave
Os others who died there, the loving, the
brave; ,
For the breast that enfolds them in s'ceping.
Oh, bravest and faithful and true!
Oh, flower of eartu that was blighted '.
Facing tho terri'do storm of death :
Words aro hut breath, when the land of yuur
birth
Falters, “how can their love be rcquitlcd?”
Unclasp not thy arms, mother-land 1
Hold them close in thy pathos and passion 1
All that remains from tho life freely shed.
Oh, crown them with bays—thy imperial
dead—
And the deep,deathless love >f a nation.
They sleep side by side on the field.
They who meet in the blood-glutted furrow,
White and triumphant tile monuments frown
Far off for the one, for the other the crown
Os his country—her bloom and her sorrow.
Are both tp be honored alike
Bv tha.hap.ds thyt these suffered and wrought
All ashos alike—only ashes and duit?
Forgotten the past with its passionate trust,
Tho standard of right that they fought for 1
“In Gilead is there no bahn 7"
Or what more did ye ask than they gave you! j
Have victor - not glory enough? -was tbo pam
Too little to honor becauso it was va ; n ?—.
Not enough that they gave all to save you !
Stand back from tho hallowed ground 1
Who pollute it with honors
Crown, if you will it, the alien dead.
But stain not the grave of my love with your
tread;
He appeals to the last great Court Martial.

Washington, April 26, 1368.
Without injustice it can bo truly said
that the great spjccli in tho impeachment
case has been mad* by Mr. Groesbeck, of
Cincinnati, the youngest of the (’resident's
counsel. This fact seems to be admitted
by all, and to-day everybody is enthusias
tic in its praise. Mr. Groesbeck’s voice
failed him after speaking less than an hoar,
when a proposition was made to adjourn,
for his benefit, but lie begged to bo allowed
to proceed, evidently understanding his
condition better than those who wished to
favor him, as his voice again rallied and
soou recovered much Ot its natural tone
and power. His speech was an effort eves
ry way worthy of the great occasion which
called it forth.
Throughout its delivery the Senate was
deeply interested. Frelinghuysen, who
has heretofore appeared a cold; indifferent
spectator, left his chair aud occupied a seat
near the speaker while the rest ot the Sen*
ate drew close around. The speech has ev
idently demoralized the impeaehers and in.
spired fresh hopes in the minds of Mr. John
son’* triends. The confident tone about
conviction, which has been so rampant
here, is hushed, and to-day many venture
to expre -s the opinion that thera is some
prospect of the President’s acquittal.
It is understood that Stevens and Will
iams will occupy Monday and Tuesday with
their speeches, Evarts, Wedn -sday, and
Bingham will conclude on Thursday. Such
seems to be the present arrangement, but
there will be more or less time consumed
to-morrow in considering the several new
rules proposed. Mr. Edmunds comes up
first, proposing that the Senate shall con'
sider the case in secret session, with only
the official reporters of the Globe preserq
to record the proceedings. This will pro
bably be adopted. Then comes Sumner’s
requiring the vote to bj taken at noon on
tho day following the closing argument.—
This will to debate, and the vote
♦hereon may be a very significant one. It
is said that several Republicans do not de
sire the ease brought to a conclusion ’much
before the meeting of the Chicago ConvetF
tion in order to allow W idea: little op
port unity as possible to influence that body
and secure his own nomination for the Pice
Presidency. A proposition will be made
allowing each Senator one hour for discus>
slon on etch of the eleven articles of im
peachment, but this may be reduced to (If
teen minutes on each proposition to be vo
ted upon; and as one article contains three
distinct specifications, there will be four
teen votes given. This will permit an ag
gregate of nearly four hours to each Sena
tor, and will accomplish the delay desired
by those who are apprehensive that Mr.
Wude will make an improper use of the
executive patronage, should he be elevated
to tlie Presidential chair.
It is a well kuown fact here that Sena
tors have been actively engaged in aiding
Mr. Wade to shape his Cabinet in advance
of final judgment. To such an extent has
this been carried that altar an animated
contest among friends (?) a compromise is
said to have been made by which Butler is
to succeed Mr-Seward in the State Depart
ment, Chandler and otheis having earnest*
ly protested against his being entrusted
with the Treasury portfolio. This state
ment is made upon Radical authority which
is deemed authentic. So earnest are cer"
lain Senators and Congressmen in their des
perate game for the spoils of offico that
they lose sight of the possibility of a fail
ure in their scheme, Petitions are daily
circulated among them askingconsular and
other appointments of the new administra
tion, and already have most of the impor'
tant and lucrative positions under govern
ment been absorbed by this most question
able process of “taking time by the tore*,
lock.’’ Iu the raeantims, to make assur
ance doubly sure, the vileHt means are be
ing resorted to drive Senators into voting
for convietion. Senator Grimes haviug
summarily disposed of Congressmen Grim'
mell and his carpet-bag oi denunciatory
epistles, is now assailed by means of anony
mous letters threatening assassination if he
should vote for the acquittal of tha Presi
dent. Those letters profess to come from
members of loyal Ku-Klux Klans, aud sim
ilar as-ociati ns in Tennessee are favoring
Senator Fowler with big piclures of coffins,
muujiiml with threats, shook/ he dare
to vote in oppositioiito the l,*yoi mmnui ;;;
of the country, These Senators, however,
•re not particularly alarmed for their per
sonal safety, whether they vote for or
against the conviction of tho President, as
the threats only excite contempt, not fear.
Tin re has been a great effort here to
give importance and significance to tfie
nomination of General Schofield as Secret,
taiy of War, hut Irom facts which hav e
been procured from proper' sources, it can
be stated with confidence that the nornina
tion was made simply to relieve the Hon.
Thomas Ewing who urged the President
to withdraw his name from tire Senate.—
The President wished to comply, and yet
he deem-d it his duty to have a nomination
pending for ills office as he regarded the
office vacant. General Schofield happening
to be in the City, his name occurred to the
President and he sent it to the Senate pro
forma, without any idea that the Senate
would act upon that or any other nomina
tion during the pending trial. This seems
to be the sum and substance of this '• tem
pest in a teapot.”
So loose has been the phraseology in ma
ny of the revenue laws, and so disjointed,
scattered, and conflicting are the provis
ions, that the Committee of Ways and
Means have determined to rejiort a bill cov
ering the whole object ar.d repealing all
previous act? and parts of acts on the sub
ject. Tiie various snb-eomroittees have
completed their labors, and the committee
hope lo be able !o report their general bill

! The (• rave of Marshal
Ney.
Men arc generally judged by the
manner in which they live, yet
sometimes by that in which they
J die. Whatever may have been the
[merit3 or demerits of Ncy’s con
-1 duct, no one can deny that there
was, in his death, a sublime hero
ism which demands admiration—
I The necessity or even the policy
i of political executions will remain
i to the end of time a disputed que >
tion. Upon whichever side indi
vidual opinions may be, it cannot
[destroy the veueratiou of mankind
: for the soul which, sustained and
| encouraged by its moral innocence
and the justness of its intentions,
fights, undaunted the last great
struggle.

I And posterity,” and though the
Chamber of Peers pronounced him
rguilty of treason, prosterity, as he
i predicted, has reversed the verdict
and acquitted him of the crime.
Truly there was something
sublime in the character of the man
who chose “to die a Frenchman
rather than live a Prussian/’—
Who, although given, by the Gov
ernment that executed him, a pass
port to leave the coufiues ot
France, when in sight of a for
eign land, gave up tho prospect of
safety, ant! preferred to bear all
that might follow rather than have
his name tainted with a breath of
dishonor.
It was on the 7th day of Decem
ber. 181f.j that the fatal sentence
was carried into execution, Car
ried from the Palace of Luxem
bourg into the adjoining garden
he gladly gave the signal that was
to end bis then burdensome life.—
The darkness and gloom was in
keeping with the sadness of tho
scene then being enacted. Facing
unblinded, his owu soldiers, he fell
in the gray dawn of that December
mo:ning, a v ictim to the broken
faith of England, pledged through
her representative, the Duke of
Wellington Hence he was carried
to the heights of Pere La Chaise,
the city of the dead that overlooks
the gay Capital of France.
The manner of bis death brought
with it no disgrace in the eyes of
the people he had so nobly served,
and his dust moulders alongsidethe
mo;'.uteents that record the proud
est names in the category ot illus
ti ious Frenchmen.
In keeping with a sentiment that
pervades everything connected
with the death of Ney; not even a
cross or a stone marks his grave.
Around it on every side are cost
ly mouumeuts and chapels (fitted
ud as for Hie living) but among
them is one pH leastiii itfrs sense]
unhouored grave.
A small circular space, surround
ed with a hedge, and planted with
beautiful flowers which are sedu
lously cared for, is the only mate
rial record of the man Whose name
was once the watchword of the
brave, and whose cLvvalry was
the pride of a chivalrous nation.—
Few can stand by the spot unmov
ed. The old guide, who passes by
it a score of times daily sheds
tears as, with mingled sorrow and
pride, ho points, and in broken
English exclaims : “There sleeps
the bravest of the brave ”
LOVE.
How bright and beautifully is
love in its hour of parity and inno
cence—how mysteriously it ethe
realizes every feeling and concen
trates every wild and bewildering
impulse of the heart.,— Love —holy
and mysterious love—it is the gar
land spring of life—the dream of
the heart -the i oetry of nature.—
Its songs isheard in the rude hut of
the poor, as well asgorgeous palace
of the rich—its flames embellish
the solitude of the forest, and the
thronged haunts of busy life, and
its light imparts a br lliancy to ev
ery heart, no matter what may bo
its condition.
Love—pure, holy and devoted
love—can never change. Friends
tnay forsake us—the riches of this
world may soar away, but the heart
that loves will cling the closer ; as
loud roars the storm, and amid the
wreck of the tempest, it will serve
as a ‘beacon' to light us on to love
and happine-s.
Love is the irtystic and unseen
spell that soothes the wild and
ragged tendencies of human nature
—that lingers about the sanctity
of the fireside, and unites in closer
union the aflecticns oi society and
the soul that loves truly will love
forover. Not like the waves of
the ocean, nor traced in -and. is
the image impressed upon a *oving
heart. So, no —but it will remaiu
unbroken and unmarked—it will
burn on undefaced in its lustre,
amid the quick rush of the winds,
and the weary ot the tempest cloud
and when our .ate seems dark and
dreary, then will love seek shelter
in her awn hallowed temple , and
offer us as a sacrifice, her vows
and her affections.'—Old Manus
script.
