The tall white ships pass ou and on, And wane upon the sea; And o’er the billows’ broken breast Their bells steal back, to me, And break, in tieinbling, sobbing throng Upon the sands in dim, sweet song Of riven melody. And sailing o’er sweet fields of gold And clouds, and summer blue, Through slanting sun, and shadows dun, The sails slip through and through. And throbbing bells that tremble back, Upon the fair snip’s fading track, The waves with echoes strew. And still the ships go on and on, Out gates of liaZy gray, As dreams upon the slumb’ring sense I’as3, unfulfilled, away, And leave but memory’s grieving bells, That sob and moan, like ocean shells, Ever and alway. And thus our lives go on and on, Like ships, unceasingly; Thro’morning's gold and shadows cold, That check time’s varied sea. God grant that, like the sweet ship bells, The good that in my being dwells, . May echo after me. Push 011 the Column. To the Democratic Party in Georgia : The contiiet is over. The battle has been fought and we liave achieved a brilliant, a decisive victory. All honor to those who have “so nobly dared and done;” but they must not rent on their arms, nor lean 011 their swords, until the etictny, now defeat ed, is routed ami his forces destroyed. Linger not among the spoils of the battlefield to recount your struggles or chant your peans of victory—but close up \ our ranks, push on the col umn and prevent him fiom rallying to save bis broken foitunes Your victory will noi be complete if by indifference or over confidence you suffei him again to make a stand. Cease not your efforts —weary not in your duties—stop not your pursuit until his flying hosts beg for quarter and give up the conflict. The strug gle through which you have passed has been for Georgia alone ; you must now unite your forces with the grand hi in v <>f Reform and Conciliation Rial are marching towml the nation’s Capital, determined not to sheath the SWold 111 furl die banner until the one is wreathed with garlands of victory, and die oilier floats in triumph over the White House in Washington Georgia speaks no uncertain sound, btlt (dear ringing dotes. She sounds words of cheer and greeting to her sister State. Redeemed herself, her chains broken, her spirits cheered and re assured, she will join Cincinnati and Baltimore in breaking the bonds of limbs now fettered : in restoring liberty to the people, self government to the States and harmony and good will to the Union. The object is commendable, the purpose patriotic, the field inviting. Falter not in your duty ; but go on battling for the light until constitutional government is restored, and the people, North and South, East and West, snail be united in feeling, united in interest, united in “the bonds of a common” Union. For this the battle you have so nobly fought and so gloriously won was waged, and for this you must fight until, in November next, you can proclaim from the citadel of civil liberty that, “Freedom’s battle once begun, Bequeath’d from bleeding sire to son 'Though baffled oft’’ At last is won ! Preserve, then, your organization intact. Have some fallen on the field, or deserted by the wayside ? Fill up the ranks and unite the broken col umn and with freemen’s will and free men’s daring, march on to conquest and to victory. To the liberal Republicans who have aided us so gallantly in the struggle, we acknowledge with grati tuJe their valuable services, and with their aid in the coming conflict, we will overflow the party in power, wnose corruptions they have de nounced, and whose usurpations they have so fearlessly exposed. T 9 the Executive Committeemen in the Districts, I would urge increas ed activity. See to it that your Con gressional Districts are organized and canvassed, for our Congressmen can be, and must be, triumphantly elected. To the Sub-electors, whoso services our committee so gratefully recog nize, I can only say, persevere in your good work ; perfect your organ izations, rally your county forces and let each and all of us determine to stay not our bauds until we have re claimed the sacred temple, and insti tuted anew the pure worship of the buildeis around the holy altars ot constitutional liberty. On then, good men, true men to duty and in November next we will plant our banners upon the walls of the nation’s capital, and “sing again our temple songs in reclaimed Jeru salem.” Thos.

It almost need ! less to add that Newport gives a com paratively enormous Grant majority every time, and thinks that the Dem ocratic cities of New York and Prov idence are sinks of iniquity.— Sav. Advertiser. A foolisli Missourian who pre sumed to kiss a pretty girl was fined by a magistrate, horse whipped by her brother, and hurried into the brain fever by his wife. The village clergyman alluded to the affair in a sermon ; the local editor took sides with the clergyman and reviewed the case in print, and the potato bug ate up every blade of the malefactor’s wheat. # The importation of negroes into Indiana for the put pose of voting is likely to involve other troubles, as it is reported that many have left dis tricts infested with smallpox, and will spread that loathesome disease wherever they go to carry out the infamous purposes of the Radicals.— Sav. Advertiser. A New York editor thinks, from the manner in which shirts aro made | in that city, there ought to be an in spection of sew ing. He says he went to the exnen.se of a new shirt the ! other day, and fouud kiinself, when lie awoke in the morning, crawling I out between two of the shot test i stitches. Oen. - liucknrr on tl»e South ern Sit nation. A Herald coriespondent, at Niaga ra, finds Gen. S. B. Buckner, of Ken tucky, at tlio Clifton House, and lias this to say about him : Among the prominent guests stop ping at the Clifton House is General Buckner, of Confederate army memo ry. He is a splendid specimen of a Southerner) tall, finely farmed, mid perfectly free and outspoken in his beliefs and opinions. “Wliatdo you think,” I asked him to-dav in the course of a conversa tion, “of the present political situa tion at the South ?” “I think,” he promptly answered, “it is the most deplorable that can be imagined;” and then he continued ; “the South is under bayonet rule A much worse military despotism cannot be conceived. Carpet-bag geis have stolen money right and left. We might sell North Oaroliua and Fori da to-day, and they would not bring money enough to pay their Slate debts. Louisiana is not much better off. 1 know people in New Orleans who would be glad to lent their bouses for the taxes.” “You draw a gloomy picture, Gen eral-” “Only the true one, sir;” lie spoke out energetically. “The South is in a much worse condition to day than at the close of the war.” “To what do you attribute this ?” “To the government we have been under.” “So the remedy would bo a change of government 1” “Precisely ibis and nothing else I that is, if the change be the right kind of one.” “So, then, it is clear you are not in favor of the re election of Grant.’ “By no means, and these are not iny individual sentiments, but those of all the born white Southerners. Grant will get no votes except those of the carpet bag minions and thieves and the negroes.” “All your people, then, will vote for Greeley.” “There is no other alternative We want a change in the govern ment, and a change even under Gree ley, with all his impracticable theo ries and notions, might be tor the bettei.” “llow about the negro vote?” “They will vote for Grant, of course ; they will do ihe bidding of the carpet-baggers; they will tie marched to the polls in semi military’ style, and votes placed in their hands, which they will cast, not knowing what they are. They arc told that if they vote for Greeley, they will be reduced to slavery again, and they believe it. 1 do not know bow long tiiis sort of a thing is going to last It is truly disheartening. There is not an instance on record of any attempted resistance by Confederates to the Government. The people are loyal. Our country might be made a unit, which it is not, and the South be made prosperous and happy.” The interview was much longer; but 1 will give you no more of it. The above is a sample of bis views upon the present political situation at the South, and, of course, is to be taken for what it is worth. “This and nothing more.” Tim Faith of a Detroit Gikl.— The Detroit Free Press of Monday relates the story of n marriage in that city a few nights ago : It seems that John Doe and Mary Doe had been "engaged” for a year or more, lie being a railroad man and she a fine giil of eighteen, A day was set for the marriage, and John spent about S2OO for new clothe*, engraved cards of invitation and preparation for a banquet. It had been announced in church that the marriage would take place at a certain hour in the morning, but it didn’t. The evening before the day eet down John called at the house, handed the l-ride elect the invitation cards, and went off with his heart as big ns a turnip. He had only been gone a few minutes when an old lover came to the house; he was grieved and astonished, and pleaded with such eloquence that tne girl took his arm ; went to a proper offi cial, and in less than half an hour they were married. When the in vited guests assembled next morning Mary Koe was in Chicago on her wedding tour, and John Doe was just starting for the depot, a butcher knife hidden under his vest and the butt ond of a revolver to be seen in his hip pocket. The fair maids of Switzerland practice the air cure, not only by breathing the pure mountain atmos phere, but by sitting on the slopes in the costume of Five, lhe scenery of Switzerland is greatly admired. f.f‘> A YEAR, IN ADVANCE Appomattox.. A Correspondent of the New Yoik Evening Cost, who is “writing up” Southern and Southwestern Virginia, makes these observations about a somewhat famous station on tbo Southside HaifrOad : Midway between Frfrmville and Lynchburg is Appomattox. When the brakeman opens the door anti calls out in a loud voice, “Appomat tox,” there is a general rush of heads to the ear windows, and everybody looks out eagerly rts if expecting to see something vert wonderful. Nothing of the kind appears. A less historical place in appearance wiil not ba found in all this region. A country store, H ttficftffttiight’. and blacksmith's shop, an aged individual, with tobacco juice running out of the comers of his Mouth, and two or three piles of oak bark, ecrn*tuute the liist view of Appotnattox ns seen from the windows of the train. True, • his is only the station, the village of Appomattox being a mile ot tftotc away, and tbc scene of the momora hie surrender further away still. No monument of any kind, I am told marks the Waterloo of the rebellion The New Yorker, you may be sure had his head out of the window and his tongue going: “Where is that apple tiee that Lee surrendered under ?” “Done cut down,” said the aged person. “Where are the roots?' “Done cut up ?” “Who cut ’em up—Yanks ?” “Yanks and Confeds both.” “Roots all gone ?” “Clean gone.” “Well, I’m right down sorry. 1 came here expressly to buy them roots, intending to divide ’em equally between Ulysses and Horace. Good bye, my venerable friend.” “Far you well,” said the old man, and the train moved on. It is related as a singular circum stance, that the owner of the farm on which Lee surrendered, rlso owned the farm on which the first battle ts Dull Run, July 18, 1861, was fought. Fleeing from the might of the Union armies, he found in Appomattox, as he thought, a place to which they would never penetrate, and there, by a singular chance, witnessed the downfall of the Confedracy. A Moxtana Ghost —Montana has its ghost story. The mysterious visi tors make their appearance in the neighborhood of the town of Sterling, in the Lower Hot Springs District. There stands at this place a stone house, larger and more pretentious than any in the vicinity. It was erected by a mining company an 1 occupied i>v miners—and ghosts. — There was soon an "incompatibility of temper” between the two classes of tenants. The mining company would very willingly have served a wiit of ejectment upon the ghosts, but they wandered from room to room, making hideous noises, ap proaching, retreating, now overhead, now under foot, and defied human eyesight. The miners endured these nocturnal disturbances fur a while, but at last their ethereal visitors commenced to disturb the sleepers in their beds, indicating their presence by adjusting the bedding, tucking it under at the sides ta carefully as mothers do about their sleeping in fants, and lightly pattihg the bodies of those in the beds, and waving their hands above their faces. They felt no touch of file hands on the face, but distinguished tbe motions in tbe dis turbance of the air. That was too much. The miners could withstand the spirits when up and awake, but that the ghosts should "put them in (heir little beds” so carefully, and in such a motherly manner, was bey ond their endurance. They decamped. If anv ofour renders would like H house in the town of Sterling, Montana, thete is now one To rent theie—a sub stantial stone one—cheap.— Conati iutionaliat. A Greeley negro in Cairo owned a Greeley dog and a Grant negro owned a Grant coon. The negroes sot the animals to fighting, and the Grant coon was killed in the struggle. Then the Grant negro and the Gree ley negro fought each other, and the Grant "negro was speedily laid by the side of the coon. A poor young man remarks that the only advice lie gets from capital ists is to "live within his income,” whereas the difficulty he experiences is to live without an income. This is a personal item in the most approved style of the Western pa* pers: “Jacob Bumgander blew into tbe muzzle of his guu to see if it was loaded.

An antiquaied wiitcr in the Mem phis Appeal has dug up out of his memory the following rich store. The young lawyer referred to is still flourishing in Memphis : “There was never greater local excitement than that which grew out of this infernal nnvy vard business. Half the people were in favor of accepting the prop erty, and half or more opposed to it. The latter thinking that the govern ment might he induced even yet to make liberal appropriation* and per fect the navy yard and build ships and steamers here. There were two newspapers published here—one n morning paper, edited by a gentle man of ho ordiimry ability named Hank head, who was tragically and mysteriously assassinated some six years ago. There was another, an afternoon paper, called the News (I believe that was its name), edited by a man named Yancy. Three editors opposed one another on the navy-yard question, and their discussions had begotten a gnod deal ol excitement, when both went away for the summer, and each without the other’s knowl edge employed the same man, this young lawyer, to conduct his paper in his absence The yotifrg limb of the law tiatu ally enough took to both sides of the question, lie marie the controversy between the two papers hotter and hotter on each smtessive day. Crowds gathered each after noon about the News oflice.and Some body expected that the two furious editors would shed blood. The com ing duel in Arkansas was eonti ’entlv anticipated, and the ferocity of the two papers was ma velous I’opulur excitement was intense when Dank head canto hurrying home from Vir ginia and Yancev, from Alabama, each thinking the other was about to mtnder liissubstitute. Such was til a fervor of popular feeling and exas peration that the story was necessa rily kept quiet. If the mischievous fratld upon the public passion bad been exposed at tbe time tho con aiuore editor would have beeu banged to a lamp post,’* A funny scehe took place at the White House upon the presentation of the delegation of the Teton Sioux to the President. The Washington Star vouches for tho troth of thfl embat russiug little incident. Medi cine Bear, chief of the 'Teuton Sioux, opened the "big talk” with a speech very similar to the one ho recently delivered before the Secretary of the Interior; but before doing so, laid his huge calumet ou (ho mantle piece, and after removing his leather head dress, deliberately proceeded to mi - shirt himself, to the no small aston ishment of the pale faces present. After divesting himself of his shirt, lie advanced toward the President, and holding it aloft was about to put it over the Great Father’s head, when General Cowen took hold of it and placing ii on a chair told Medicine Bear, through the interpreter, that the Great Father Would not wear it lit n, hut would accept it. Of course he would. He never declines any thing, and even the dirty, frowsy war shirt of a big Sioux Indian is welcome. If he cannot wear it him self, it will, at least make an excellent covering for those bull pups. Catch him refusing any thing so useful. The man who clients tlie printer Out of a single cent, Will never reach the heavenly laud Where old Elijah went. If.- will not gain admittance there, By devils lie’ll he driven, Ami made to loaf his time away Outside the walls of heaven. Without a man to greet him, Without a pleasant grin, The happiness that he will reap Will be almighty thin. He’ll have to cat the thistle Of sorrow and regret, lie'll have to buck around right smart With cusseiluess, “You bet !” A facetious traveler describes the difference between society in the me tropolis and that In a provincial town in the following language: “In the country, if you have a boiled leg of mutton for dinner everybody wishes to know whether you have caper sauce wiih it; whereas in New York you may have an elephant for lunch and uo one cares a pin about it.” Mrs. Fair sited copious tears over her verdict, and a telegram says tbe brave San Frauciecoans wanted to lynch her. He that was without sin was about to shy the first stone, when ! “the better counsels of the law-ahid j ing citizens” quieted the honest, vir- I tuous in assess.
