Ere they started, Genius hinted That, by some unlucky blunder, While they journeyed through the kingdom, They might chance to get asunder ; “And,” she said, “it seems but prijdent, Should wo break our pleasant tether, Some device should be suggested, That may bring the three together. “As for mo —if from my sisters 1 should Chance to prove a ronmer, Seek me at the tomb of Shakespeare, Or before the shrine of Homer.” Virtue'said, “If I am missing, And you deem me worth the trouble, Seek me in the courts of monarehs, uOr the dwellings of the noble. “If among the high and mighty You shall fail to find me present, You may find me with better fortune In tho cottage of the peasant!” “Ah !” said Reputation, sighing, “It is easy of discerning, Kaeh of you may Ireelv wander, With a prospect of returning : Hut. I pray you, guard me closely, For, despite your best endeavor, If you miss me for a moment, 1 am lost—and lost forever.” IBistcllanmts Jvcabing. The Scene of the Great Surrender- A correspondent of the Richmond Whig, who has visited the scene of tho great surrender, furnishes tho following interesting letter, dated at Lynchburg: I was at Appomattox Court House on yesterday, and indeed, it was a sad day to my heart. In memory 1 reviewed the panic scenes of the eventful period of our surrender. It was there that the noble old hero folded his arms in tho serene dignity of his matchless person, and said to the famished band that hung around him that all was over. Here the veteran of a dozen earnpaings embraced his com rades, and gazing through their tears, looked for the last time, on their battle worn llag, now furled, anil soon to bp wamfered over the place alone, I felt that I stood a solitary mourner over the grave of my country. What recollec tions swept over my heart! I thought of the bravo and true who perished for r'ght and freedom. I thought of our days of peril and trial, our four years of sacrifice and devotion; but yet there was some gleam of light. We have a histo ry, glowing with the deeds of manhood and chivalry, as enduring, as eternal as the blue hills that look down in peaceful grandeur on the consecrated spot. It may not he uninteresting to your readers to give a minute description of the house in which the articles of capitu lation were signed. I was a guest of Major McLaiuc, and I sat in the very room. The house is of brick, about fifty feet long, with a porch in front extend ing the whole length. In front of the house is a wc'l, covered with lattice work. The yard is small, with a fine plat of grass, shaded with locust trees. At about half past ten o’clock Gens. Lee and Grant met in tho parlor, which is about eighteen feet square, comforta bly furnished, the walls decorated with paintings. The interview lasted until after two o’clock. Major McLane has the names of all who were present, hut as ho intends getting up a fine picture of the whole scene, I will go no more in to detail. On the wall there is a very accurate diagram, drawn by a Federal officer. The table and the chairs have been taken away as relics. Our Valley. The Alexandria Gazette, speaking of the scenes and incidents of the war, says: "The beautiful Valley of Virginia—al most the richest and loveliest land upon earth—and all the neighboring Piedmont and river country—the frontier of Virgi nia—was the arena where contending armies fought—where the fiercest en counters ensued, and where “grim vis aged war,” never during tho strife, “smoothed his horrid front.” They will take you now to the hill tops, and point out to you for miles and miles around— as far as the eye can reach —the spot from which arose the smoke of Hunter's burnings. They will carry you through Winchester and Berryville, and other towns, and show the marks of bullets upon the houses in the streets, the char red and blackened walls of the dwellings and stores, and the remains of the des -1 truction in every direction. They will i conduct you to Edwards’ Hill, near Lees ! burg, where Kilpatrick hurled hia iron ! missiles upon a defenseless town, full of women and children. They will let you know that here, on this declivity, Mosby | in one of 1 is raids, turned upon his pur | suers, and with his own hand captured those who undertook to follow him; and that, on that road, ho made a daring dash and scattered those who thought they had surrounded him. They will go with yon to the scenejof conflict on Ball’s Bluff, Vienna, Kearney's town, Kabletowo and a hundred other places. Hero was a cavalry charge—there a sk'rmish. Here are the “stonewalls,” there the woods, from which rifles cracked, and muskets poured their volleys. On that field the serried hosts of the Federal troops lay encamped—on this, the Confederates bi vouacked. Heeds of bravery will be narrated, the localities of which are all around you, and over which you walk or ride. VVliat, is so calm and peaceful now, was then the theat re of carnage and death. Nor will history narrate half the incidents which marked the progress of the war, in the section of country to which we refer ” Poor Whites. The Radical press of the North arc very much given, when in a sarcastic mood, to being awfully satirical and contemptu ous upon the “poor whites” of the South. It would be cruel to deprive them of any satisfaction which they can possibly extract from the contemplation of any portion of the animal creation if such there be, inferior to themselves. Hut we have heard so much excellent wit and humor at the expense of the “poor whites” of the South, that, being in a sympathetic mood, we cannot refuse to put in a word of apology for these poor devils who, we have no doubt, would not be as poor as they are, if they could in any wise help it, and who would be as shrewd, thrifty and virtuous as the same class at the North, if they had the same oppor tunities. We do not profess to reconcile (he in consistency of (he Radical sneers at "poor whites” in the South, with the per petual boasting that their own is a land in which the poor arc on an equal foot ing with the rich, and that their first men are self-made men, mechanics and sons of mechanics, and obscure persons who have worked themselves by superior energy, to the high places in commerce, politics and power. This is all true enough and creditable. We concede their boast, that they have no aristocracy except that which makes itself, and that every every one of the funny follows who is so immensely amused with poor people in the South, was horn in trie same pov erty and is only kept from it at this mo moot by manufacturing fictions of a libel lous character at a penny a line, lint, this being so, why sneer at “poor whites” in tho Smith ? is not poverty the same in one latitude as another ? Arc not poor men made out of ; tbe„.H : Wtee "Vo CXfi’ticc'w that a good many of the “poor whites” of the South can’t read and write which is a universal accomplishment, at the North, and is considered education ! Statistics show, however, that the pro gress of crime is in i.o degree errested by the progress of education, so-called, and that if tl ic poor whites of the South don’t know much else they know how to keep their hands out of their neighbors pockets, and bow to abstain from lying and slandering. This kind of knowledge may not he considered worth much by the Radical penny-a-liners, hut outside of penitentiary chides it is generally re garded as more important than even leading and writing. It would ho a good deal more manly in those who are so elated with these extraordinary acqui sitions, as to be always sneering at those who have them not, and trying to put them oil a level with degraded negroes, to go South and personally examine h r themselves whether the class they affect so much to despise, can’t at least make their mark. If any of these puny wit lings had been in the army during the war, they would need no new information on that subject. “Poor whites” are poor whites, we take it, whether they live North or South, whether they cultivate a little patch of sweet potatoes in the South or smoke cheap cigars and invent lalsehoods for Radical newspapers in the North. Some of the ablest men of both sections have sprung from this despised class of “poor whites,” and if the Radicals have a good many of them in Congress, the South has one of them in the Presidency, who under stands reading well enough to lead them and their plans, andean write sufficiently to sign his name to a vote. —Baltimore Evening Dispatch. Negro Sermon. We find the following sermon in the local columns of the West Alabamian, said to have been delivered by a colored preacher who rejoiced in the title of “Major.” We never saw a report in which the idiom of the negro was more faithfully given; nor have we often seen a discourse more pointed arid applicable to the present condition of the freemen: “And now rny dear (lyin’ and remortal bredren and cistern lem’me tell you dare is trouble now in dis land—dare is a great troutde—and you say what am it? O! my dear young gemmen, and my dpar young cistern, and my dear Christian friends, dare am trouble fur you and me, and de lord only knows bow dat am gwine to end. \\ hat am dat trouble, Major? why don’t you tell dis dear re mortal cotagregashun —ah, what dat trou ble is—-ah? Well, I tell you—ah, my young friends and my old friends—ah, of dis big trouble which am on the land— ah. We am now differently situated from what we was a year ago—ah.

But den dar is cat fine [young lady—no missus to tell her do j right—she go on hire herself out, away , from her folks and her mammv, all, how i many snares dar an to lead lier away from do pas of rectitude ; and so de poor fools wander ioiin’ from pillar to pos, and from pus to poses, ah, and if you don’t mind de debbil git you neberlasting, neb* er dying soles, ah.

Yes, and I kuowd a white man to pitch dollars till he got so poor he had to borrow a dol lar to pitch, and den he run out credit dat way; and be bad to come down to ole horse shoes. Take care young nig* ger, de old debbil is no specter of pus* sons, he’d as soon have you as a white man ; you make as good a fire in hell as de biggist, fatest white man in de land. Aomirabi.k Views. —Hon. Albert Pike, of Arkansas, recently wrote a letter to President Johnson asking for a pardon under the $20,000 clause. From it we make the annexed pointed and truthful extract: “The late war was more owing to the dead of the past, who are honored, than to the living of the present who are exe crated ; more to Jefferson and Madison, than to Davis and Hunter ; more the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions than to the arguments of 1800. “Civil com motions have long roots in the past,’ anil their true authors have often been long and beyond the reach of human ven geance, while those whom hatred seeks to immolate have b en but the bondmen of necessity, the blind instruments of fate. Why should the. scaffold crave tlte blood of the living who only obeyed the dead. “1 ft-spectfnlly submit that it is not just to regard as rebellion and treason what bad been claimed by States and parties for seventy years as the lawful exercisoQf a political right by a State ; and that it would be a irxave mistaJyi to watchword and beacon for all coming time. It would be to create that •im passible barrier which always separates, after blood is so shod, the children of the same country.’ “If convicted and sentenced, none now accused will feel, nor will the people of tho South believe, that they have been guilty of treason. Neither defeat nor condemnation changes convictions. — They will have ! ecu criminals, hut only to have atoned with their lives for the sin of failure in the assertion of rights claimed, even if unreal, by many states, and by a great political party, since the beginning of the gavernment.” Beautiful. Hon. R. B. Lindsey, in his oration at the Tuscumbia Tuiirnaiucn', paid the fol lowing beautiful tribute to the women of the South: “Sir Knights, 1 might portray for your admiration, names of women, illu trious in history and famous in song; but I need not reyert to the shadowy tradition of the past; to the annals of ancient Greece or ancient Rome or other lands, to find mat rons for your reverence, or heroic maidens for your praise. In the beautiful vales of our own South, where the broad Potomac gleams, where the Tennessee’s majestic waters roll—on the Mississipi’s lonely shores, we will find the sublime and pat riotic dignity of a Cornelia, courage as strong and fervent, as animated, as nerved the soul of the Maid of Orleans or sustained the ministering tenderness of Florence Nightingale. In future years history will adorn its brightest pages. Poesy will enrich its treasures and its symphonies, in celebrating the heroism exhibited by the daughters of the South during the eventful struggle ot t e “Lost Cause.” The pati lice in suffering, their noble endurance in the midst of danger and privations, t. eir unmurmuring Bull mission to penury for the land they loved, will awaken in the soul of posterity many a glowing sympathetic emotion, for in the records of Southern women, future generations will look in vain for recre ancy or desertion in the dark hours of their country’s perilous disaster. The Soctii. —That part of the country known as “the South,” is as large as Great Britain, France, Austria, Prussia and Spain together, embracing eight hundred and fifty thousand square miles, with staple productions which none of these countries can grow, and with a most genial soil and productive climate. Is not such a territory worth developing with all the arts of peace? What would ihe revenues of the General Government, and the manufactures and commerce of the North be without it? Is there any Government in Europe, no matter bow despotic, that would not try to make the most of such a- region, and build up its labor and prosperity? Yet, we see men in the North, like Wendell Phillips, who think it is more important to propagate “Massachusetts ideas” in the South than any other crop, and consider negro suff rage more important to America than cotton, commerce and manufactures.
