LITTLE EfIMA.
Lovely bud of richest promise,
Why so dear a treasur*? given V
Was it to be taken from us ?
Lovlier still lo bloom in Leaven.
Every heart-string ’round thee clinging;
ob, how [ai • *ul was t ie ren ling,
Art thou gone? the death toll ringing,
Tells us dust with dust is blending.
Meekly suffering, uncomplaining,
Viewing all as transitory :
Resignation calm maintaining,
Early wast thou ripe for glury.
Heir to sorrow, pain aud trials,
Friends no longer here behold tbee ;
Child of grief and seif denials,
Bleeding hearts no more enfold thee.
Finished are thy days of weeping,
No more sin or euuse for sighing,
All thy troubles now are sleeping,
In oblivion’s dark totnb lying
Soou thy pilgrimage has ended,
Rest thy weary feel is greeting,
■Souls congenial now are blended,
Friends long absent thou art meeting.
Now a robe of dazzling whiteness
Thy celestial figure graces,
And a crown of gloiious brightness
Thy fair, lovely temples graces.
Livliest gratitude is swelling
Thy full soul to overflowing,
While on mercy thou art dwelling,
With angelic raptures glowing.
Loud thy golden harp is ringing
With redemption’s wondrous story ;
Loftiest anthems thou art singing
To the triune God of glory.
Fare the well, dear saint, for never
More ou earth will friendship greet thee.
Fare thee well, but not forever,
Soon we hope iu Heaven to meet thee.

Trial* stent Adventures.
I had a uarver scape from the sunny South.
“The swings and arrers of outrajus fortin,”
alluded to by Hamliek, wan’t nothing in
comparison to my truhles. I came pesky
uear swearin’ sum profane oaths more’n onct,
but 1 hope l didn’t do it, for I’ve prouiist
she whose name shall be nameless (except
that her initials is Betsey J.,) that I’ll jine
the Meetin 1 House at Baldiusville jest as
soon as I can scrape money enuff together so
I can ’ford to he piuss in good stile like my
welthy nabers. But if I’m confistieated
agin I’m afraid I shall con tinner on in my
preseut benited state for sum time.
1 figgered eonspicyusly in many thrillin
scenes in my tower from Montgomery to my
humsted, and on sevril occasions l thought
“the grate komic paper” wouldn’t never be
inriched no more with my lubrications.—
Arter biddiu adoo to Jefferson D., I started
for the depo. I saw a nigger sittin on a
feuee a playin ou a banjo. “My Afrikin
Brother,” sed I, cotin from a Track I onct
red, “you belong to a very iuterestin race.
Your masters is goin to war excloosively on
your account.”
“Yes, boss,” he replied, and lie vveut on
playin’ the banjo, larfin all over and openin’
his mouth wide enuff to drive in au old fash
ioned 2 wheeled chaise.
The train of ears in which I was to trust
my wallerble life was the scaliest, rickytiest
lookin’ lot of eousarns that I ever saw on
wheels afore. “ What time does this string
of second hand coffins leave?” I enquired
of the depot master. He sed diieckly, and
I went in & sot down. I hadn’t moro’n
fairly squatted afore a dark lookin’ man with
a swiuister expres ion onto his countenance
j entered the cars, and lookin’ very sharp at
me, he asked what was my principles?
“Secesh!” I ansered, “I’m a Dissoluter.
1 I’ni iu favor of Jeff. Davis, Bouregard, Pick
ens, Capt. Kidd, Bloobeard, Munroe Edards,
the devil, Mrs. Cunningham, aud all the
rest of ’em.”
“ You’re in favor of the war?”
“Ceitingly. By all means. I’m iu fa
vor of this war and also of the next war.—
I’ve been in favor of the next for over six
teen years.”
“ War to the knive!” stn| the man.
*'Blud, Eargo, blud?*’ sed I, tho them
words isn’t origernal witk we. Them words
was rit by iShakspear, who is ded. His
Mantle fell outo the author of “ The Seven
Sisters,” who’s goi,u’ to have a Spring over
’ coat made out of it.
We got under way at larst, an’ proceeded
on our jerney at about the rate of speed
I which is giurally obsarved by properly con-
I ducted funeral processions. A ban sum
vuug gal, with a red musketcr bar ou the
back part of her bed, aud sassy little black
hat tipt over her forrerd, sot iu the seat with
me. She wore a little Sesesh flag pin’d on
to her hat, aud she was goin to her troo love,
who had jined the Southern army, and so
hold and so gay. So she told me. She was
chilly and 1 ottered her my blanket.
“Father livin ?” I axed. “ Yes, ser.”
“Got any Uncles?”
“A heap. Uncle Thomas is ded, tho.”
“Peace io Uncle Thomas’ ashes, and suc-
cess to him ! 1 will be your Uncle Thomas!
Lean on me, my pretty Secesher, and linger
in Blissful repose!” She slept as seeoorly
as iu her own housen, and didn't disturb the
solium stillness of the night with ’ary snore.
At the first station a troop of Sojers en
tered the cars and inquired if “Old Wax
W orks” was on board. That was the dis
respectly stile in which they referred to me.
“ Becawz if Old Wax Works is on bord,”
sez a man with a face like a doublebrested
lobster, “we are goin to hang Old Wax
Works!”
“My illustrious and patriotic Bummers ;**
sez I, a gitting p and taking ors my shap
po, “if you elludu to A. Ward, it’s my
plcasiu dooty to inform you that he’s ded.
He saw the error of his ways at 15 minits

At the next station I didn’t get ors 80

mud for several minits fur tiie purpose of
‘‘takin’ the couseet out of me,” as a Secesher
kindly stated.

large Seeesher came up and embraced me,
and to show that he bad no hard feelius agin
men, put Lis no.-e into my mouth. 1 re
turned the compliment by placing my stum
niick suddenly agin his right foot, when he
kindly made a spittoon of liis able bodied
face. Actooated by a desire to whether the
‘eoesHer had been voxinated, I then fastened
my teeth onto liis left coat-sleeve and tore it
to the shoulder. We then viieutly bunted
our heads together for a few minits, danced
around a little, and sot down in n mud pud
dle. Woriz to our feet agin & bv sudden
& adroit movement I placed my left eye
agin the Secesher’s fist. We then rushed
into each Ollier’s arms and fell under a too
boss wagon. I was very much exhausted
and didn’t care about getlin up agiu, but the
man said he reckoned I'd better, and I con
clooded I would, He pulled me up, but I
hadn’t bin on mv feet more’n two seconds
afore the ground flew up and hit me in the
hed. The crowd said it was high old sport,
but I eoiild’nt zukly see where the lafture
come in. T riz and we embraced agin.—
We careered madly to a steep bank, when I
got the upper hand of my antagernist and
threw him into the raveen. He fell about
forty feet, striking a grindstone pretty hard.
I understand he was injured. I haven’t
heard Ironi the grindstone.
A man in a coct hat e U m up and sed he
felt as tho a apology was doo me. There
was a mistake. The crowd had taken me
for another man ! I told him not to men

I was ri*l on a rale the next day, a hunch

I made tracks for my humsted, but she
with whom I’m harnist for life failed to re

I did it so mitral that she knowed me at

Determined to Crush the Ho uth. —A

gress from a Southern State Jy had an
interview with W. H. Seward, ij i which he
endeavored to disabuse his mind* of the error
common at. tho North that tin •••p is still a I
strong Union party in the seeedf and State?. —
Mr. Seward replied that he wa ; well aware
of the fact that there no longe’ .■ existed any
such party, but that he was determined to
test the question whether tb<* United States
Government could be overtta* >wn or not.
The same member of Coo gress also saw
Mr. Lincoln, and repeated m him substanti
ally the same statement of. Southern unity
he had made to Mr. Sewar J, to which Mr.
Lincoln replied that he tor 3 well aware the

A Christian Temper iu War.
“ I shall never think any mau better than
myself, whilst I have my sword in my hand”
—was the reply of Kumenes, when Antigo
nus besieged aud affected superiority ovei
him. I? not this the true military sentiment
—the sentiment which makes the patriot
soldier, the hero of a triumphant, the ntar
tyros a fallen cause ! Wheu war impends
*r exists, it behooves the hostile parties to
respect in each other this spirit of self-re-
To outrage it by sneers aud taunts,
and by vain-glorious boasts and haughty
threats*, is to inflame needlessly the passions
that prompt, and to aggregate wantonly the
hnrr ws that attend hostilities. How sternlv
Christian principle forbids such a course,
must be obvious to the most careless thinker
And we put it to the followers of Jesus in
both the United and Confederate States,
whether there be not a fault among them as
regards this matter? Have they in nothing
urned aside from the noble custom of the
Persians, “To speak of their mortal ene
mies, with whom they were at deadly war,
as honorable and as justly as their virtues
deserved J” Surely, we can stand firmly by
the dictates of our own consciences, and
fight and die for them, if need be, not revil
ing our enemies, but mingling with the pur
poses of the brave heart and the perform
ances of the strong band, pity for their errors
prayer for their salvation. Such a spirit is
not impossible of culture, unless, indeed,
war, even when defensive, be only and ut
terly an iniquity. Aud with this spirit wo
would have the Christians of the South
back the wave of iuvasion which menaces
her border.
We are aware that, these counsels are little
likely to be heard while the clang of arms
rings through the country. At such a time
the current of even a righteous indignation
tends to sweep over all the dykes and har
riers of moderation and justice. But this
only renders it trebly imperative to lift up
the voice of warning. No actors in the stir
ring scenes of the day are sowing the seeds;
of a keener regret or a more harrowing re-j
morse, than awaits those who sock to irritate
the pride and inflame the animosity of the
two sections —the two nations we should say ■
—until war shall become inevitable, in its
most unrelenting and sanguinary terms.—
Peace is the true interest of both North and
South, whether they are to stand to each
other in the attitude of nations or of sec
tions, —their true policy for the wise decis
ion of the question in which of the attitudes
they shall stand to each other for the time
to come. Never was there a contest to
which the (reputed) language of the Duke
of Wellington after his victory at Waterloo
so forcibly applies—“ Believe me, that ex
cept a battle lost, nothing can be more mel
ancholy than a battle wou.” Let Christians
carry this conviction with them into the im-j
pending conflict, and accept war, if they!
must, only as a necessity forced upon the’
South—not for the overthrow of govern- j
ment, as her enemies allege—but. for the
vindication of her right to govern herself, j
It will abate nothing of vigor in the pwpa-j
ration for war, and nothing of valor in the |
piosecution of war. It will bring into both’
the spirit of Christ, and cause the hand of
Christ to fight for us in both. With it, we
may hearten each other in the words of Ne-j
beiiiiah: “Be not afraid of them; re mem-’
her the Lord which is great and terrible,
and fight for your brethren, your sous, and
your daughters, your wives, aud yourj
houses.” —Religious Herald.

. . e lor support of tbe
government of the Confederate States
It is well known to yo u that we are engaged
m a war for the purpose of sustaining the
great American doctrine of seif-government.
This doctrine rests solely upon the resrpi nxi.
hih'ty of our rulers to the people of the sev
eral States for the honest and faithful admin
istration of the laws under the constitution.
On the 6th day of November last, this fun
damental principle was disregarded by the
voters of the North, and rulers chosen who
were in no wise responsible to the people of
the fifteen Southern States. It mattered
not how faithlessly they might have acted,
their conduct eould only have been ques
tioned , and they themselves driven from
power, (not by us,) but by the party whose
minions they were. Had we submitted to
their will, we should have been unworthy
the noble race of men from whom we sprung,
and tit subjects for Black Republicans to
govern. But I thauk God that eleven States
have declared in favor of self-government,
and will maintain it now, as it was main
tained in ’76 by the blood and treasure of a
brave and gallant people.
Our fathers declared that, governments
derived their “just powers from the con
sent of the governed.” We have ro-assert
ed that doctrine, and for this. Northern Fa
naticism and Northern Commerce strike
hands, and to-day are marshaling their ar
mies against us, the one to enforce upon 119
its surplus of conscience, the other to rob
us, as it has done for half a century, of the
fruits of our labor. They have invaded our
soil, and intend to leave nothing .in their
track but blood and desolation, until we ac
j knowledge their dominion over u=. Nortli
| ern jail? and State prisons furnish much of
; the vile material which is now'concentrating
! its mighty hordes upon us. Over one hun
dred thousand of our young rnen have gone
| forth to battle, to preserve our men from
■ these robbers and assassins, and our women
from tle arms of these destroyers. To ask
doubtiogly of the men of this District,
whether, in such a tear, our sons ami broth
ers are to be maintained, would be offering
an insult both to their nature and to tbeir
patriotism. Let. us all, therefore, come up
to tbe support of our gallant army by loan
ing the (Government all that we can spare
of our growing crops, for which we will re
ceive bonds bearing interest at 8 per cent,
per annum, payable semi-annually. By
such a course we can sustain our brave
troops, not only for the present, but,if need
be, for the next twenty years, without in
i convenience. Very respectfully,
Martin J. Crawford.

General Scott is about, to remodel tbe L ni
i ted States army upon the French system,
says a northern exchange, so as to give it
more efficiency and perfection. The 0
hero works with astonishing zeal, an ‘ * IS
mind opeiates as actively os man\ a man y
five. It is undoubted that be contemplates
. long campaign, that Washington is to be
the bL of operations, that a large force will
be kept permanently stationed here, ami
that all demonstrations in support of loyal
men in the South, and in the furtherance
of the determination to retake stolen public
property will move from this point. Some
complaints are made because an expedition
has not already been sent into A irgima for
the purpose of capturing Richmondbut 1
, am disposed to repose my trust entirely upon
the experience and patriotism of
Scott. He is heartily sustained by l
ident, and Messrs. Chase, Cameron,
and the rest of tbe Cabinet, although it is
not doubted that Postmaster GeneranJjj
Blair favors a more extreme a cc
policy. __
