There's music in the rivulet, •
And musie in the Hood ;
And music in the waterfall,
That echoes from the wood
There’s music in the sunny grove,
And music in the rain,
Quick pattering on the forrest bough
And all is bright again.
There’s music on the upland slope,
And music in the dell;
The lowing herds,the bleating fold,
Its pretty tinkling bell.
There’s music in the joy of birds.
And in the hum of bees ;
And mu.-ie in tfie waving corn,
Danced over by the breeze.
There’s music in the ocean stream,
When the foamy billows roar ;
And min? when, rippling peacefully,
It seems to trip ttie shore.
There’s music in the stilly eve,
And in the hush of night.
And musie in the rising morn,
And when the moon is bright.
There’s music in the voice of love,
And joy that others share;
And in the voice of gratitude,
Andin the voice of prayer.
On me, O God '. Thy grace impart,
To praise what thou hast given.
Teach me to ponder what Thou ar',
At early dawn and even—
The music of a grateful heart,
Is music heard in Heaven.

1 >u the morrow ; that such was the silent but general
concession of the Northern mind; and that the future
of the Confederate States was just at this time, and in
the approaching exigency of Northern conscription,
brightened with a surer prospect than at.y termer situa
tion of affairs had ex’er afforded.
There are two parties iu the North, perhaps equally
.intelligent, and each claiming to draw, their opinions
"from Southern sources of infoi uia.ion, which differ ns
to the real spirit of the South : one claiming .that it is
resolute, and even in the last neeesrity desperate : and
the other contending that iris being br< ken by reverses
and will end in submission. One finds this question it)
every circle iti the Ninth. Reliable information upon
it is far more valuable to the Washington Government
than maps of all the fortifications in the Confederate
States. To convince the Noith of the spirit of the
Southern people is more important than ha’f a dozen
victories, for it is to convince them of the hopeless
ness of the war and to put before their eyes the im
mediate necessity of conscription.
Il is the simple lesson of resolution which the South
must learn. It is the lesson for all events. Win n
there is no nccasiotiBar hope, then make it the season
of desperation ; for this last quality is quite ns good to
dissuade the Yankee from the war as Confidence It
self. It will be easily inspired even in the worst ex-
tremiiy the f tore can possibly liave'Jliy a simple

Brutal Treatment of our prisoners.
The New \ ork Daily News of the 3d inst, pub
lishes the following extracts from a private letter
written by a lady in high social position aud of un
questionable loyalty to the Union:
Chicago, III , Dec. *27,1864.
* * The condition and suffering of the rebel
prisoners at Rock island is a source of agony to
every heart, not absolutily dead to the feelit g of
common humanity, and the scantiest Christian
mercy. There are from six to eight thoustaid ccn

— to save themselves front actual starvation The
released prisoners, though liberated at diff-imt
intervals of time, all tell the same story. '1 lie a!-

bread—it takes tbrre to make a pound—and a
piece ot meat, two inches square, per titty. This

This is the all absorbing question of the

can answer it satisfactorily to himself or his
neighbor. That the condition of affairs
is perilous, and something must ho done,
and that speedily, to save us from
utter ruin and degradation, all agree.
Our gallant ship of State, that lias so long
hcroicaly battled against the tide o£ inva

ter than perhaps any others, tho cormnun-
httndred dollars,
may be able to afford such a largess. But in the rural
districts, in the counties and in the small corporations
of the North, the system of bounties is already broken
down. Counties in the State of New Yoik have been
designated to the writer which had aheady expended,
each, about a million and tt half dollars in buying hu
man flesh ; ami others were named which had accu
mulated. on account oftniiitary bounties alone, a debt
exceeding the sum total of taxable ^ alue within their
jurisdiction.
It is under the pressure of the practical want of
arms bearing men, and iu view of the iatal conclusion
of art actual conscription, that the question
come uppermost in the Northern mind liow
has picked out their places to settle there after the war.
This talk was not intended to be offensive; for it seem
ed to be universally taken as matter of course that
under Yankee rule, Virginia, by a very fair, logical
conclusion, could be for nobody else but the Yankees,
and that our former people were to be glad to sital the
feet of New England civilization.
But it is useless to expatiate, unless to those who.are
wilfully blind,.the theme of subjugation. If the spirit
of desperate resolution has not already been drawn
from what is known of-the enemy’s warfare, it will not
be easily provoked by any other arguments. That

the weight ot an insufferable burden put upon one Jf

In the South tiie conscription is doubtless iiu-1 tion, tiie repioofi.f the grave, the curses of post eiityw
posed upon some few unwilling iiuliviiluuis ; bi.t in He
North, with its inferior motive in the war, and its pc
cUliar character..it is utterly impossible to execute a
ciYiisciiption of a law upon a pe. pie who are wholly
and absolutely opposed to it, win*, are not fighting un
der any duetriue of paramount necessity, nnd who
have already given the most abundant proofs that
even the Yankee God of money is but little effective
111 enticing them to the. battle field.
It is almost impossible to describe tbe dread with
which the Northern people contemplate the slightest
possibility of a conscription. Even tlie draft of last
year, which only slightly threatened such a conclusion,
was slimmed as the plague. H'nen it was thought that
some of the ward quotas would be enforced iu Balti
more, hundreds of persons left tlieir homes and faun-
lie.-: there, fled for shelter to New York, aud for months
i e'inained there in close concealment. Itis well known
that tiiut city must be gingerly touched by tho au
thorities of Lincoln , for it contains seventy thousand
Irish, and what is more one hundred and fifty thousand
people of the Catholic taitli, who constitute a pretty
la ge seed of revolution, and who are considered to
have made up their minds about the draft in the sum
mer of 1803.
Observations which the writer made iu the North
with ceaseless industry mid under the stimulus of con
stant curiosity, filled his piind with the broad and
strong conviction that never was tilt* independence
of the South more lirutly assured than ut this time, on
the single condition that the spirit of tlie people and tln^
army does not break by some unworthy impatience,-
or is deliberately broken down by insane persistence
in folly on the part of Davis and liis out and on* toadies
and encouragers. A Northern conscription i*the gen!
to wftich the South must press, nnd which already it
closely approaches A little endurance and it is won
It is tbe vital question to all intelligent persons in the
North how long our people will endure.
They laugh at our expectations of pimticH.lj’evolu-
tions or financial ruptures iu the North ; and they con
tend that the time is past wheu we may expect to win
our independence by any grand military coup, or force
of military successes. Al! these calculations are lightly
O' insolently regarded by Northern men. Tlieir real
anxiety is the endurance on the part of the South. In
a large intercourse with Northern politicians the writer
found that their great curiosity was ns to the real
spirit of die Sou til, and the questions of thinking men
among .hem invariably went to the point of the proba
ble term of Southern endurance. He saw the valve of
this quality in Northern eyes. He became thoroughly
convinced that by force of it alone tlie South would

itas reported the total number of exempts, under i
the different clauses of the pres**-! law, on this j
side of the Mississippi river, as follows:

The number of exempts is much smaller than
has been usually* supposed. Particularly is this
the case as to State officers, for many have claim
ed heretofore that the States of Georgia and North
Carolina alette had each more than the total of
States officers exempt.
The press, too. exhibits an insignificant number.
There are about fifty-five dailies now published
east of the Mississippi, and fully that number of
weeklies end mpthlies, which allows only about
six men capable of service to each office. This
showing should serve to stop the mouths of those,
who are clamoring about the press to any extent
