During the past week a large number of the parojed soldiers of General Lee's Army passed through this place, they have bad a long and arduous campaign of it-four years. We wish [ them, oue and all. a happy reunion with their families and friends, and a respite from ti i ds and ; troubles, which they have borne like men, yea. j like heroes. God bless the boys.

They mingle with our own people on the streets, • and talk freely together. The situation is truly an unpleasant one for our people, and we should j think it would he embarrassing to the enemy. It would he a great lelief to the citizens it tlm : . agreement entered into between Generals M.cr- ' man and Johnston, should require General Wil- hou to retire a short Jistanoe Irom the city.

The Herald is disposed to sad- die the Confederacy with the act. hut tho officials and people of the Confederacy had nothing more to do with it than the Herald did. It was doubt less the act of an individual who had suffered at the hands of Mr. Lincoln, and might have como from a citizen of theU. S. as readily as from a cit izen of the Confederate States.

The failure of the Mails and the re- j striction put upon us by the genera! tnue between Gen's.

Summer with her glorious train Her zephyrs, songs aud ilowers, * Her,hand to autumn now has given To mark the golden hours. The drear cold months have come and gone Mild spiing resumes hdt reign, With throbbing heart beside his form, Silent we stand again.

Leave her alone and let her muse, in silence with her dead: The hour—the place to her he given. Let not a word he said. Now softly—tenderly yo friends, The grave’s deep silence break , Gently the cold damp mould remove, , Alt' gently for her sake. Mother, arouse thee! it is done, Now hear him hence away, Beneath 1.is own bright native sky, Thy cherished darling lay. And now fond sorrovv’ng heart he calm, The long—long way is past, Beside his honored ancestry, Thy 11 ubert sleeps at last.
