THE CONQUERED BANNER!
Furl that banner ! for ‘tis weary;
Round its staff ‘tis drooping dreary ; .
Furl it. fold it, it is best:
For there’s not a man to wave it;
And there's not a sword to save it;
Aud there's not one left to lave it,
In the blood which heroes gave t;
And its foes now scorn and brave it,
Furl it, hide it let it rest.
Take the banner down, ‘tis tattered ;
Broken is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
O'er whom it floated high.
Oh ! tis hard for us to fold it;
Hard to think there s noue to hold it,
Lard that tiiose who once unrolled it,
Now must furl it with a sigh.
•
Furl that banner ! furl it sadly,
Once ten thousand hailed it gladly,
And ten thousand wildly, madly, ‘
• Swore it would forever wave—
. Swore that foeman's sword could never,
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,
Till that flag would float forever,
O'er their freedom or their grave.
Furl it, for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that banner, it is trailing,’
AYhile around it sounds are wailing,
Os its people in their \Voe.
For. though conquered, they adore it.
Love tli - cold, dead hands that bore it,
Weep for those who led'before it, ‘
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
And. oh ! wildly they deplore it, .
Ncrw to furl and fold it so.
Furl that banner! true'tis gory,
Yet ‘tis wreathed around with glory,
And't vill live in'song and story,
Though its tolds are in ihe dust.
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sag s.
Shall go sounding dntfcii t trough ages,
Furl its folds though now we must.
- Furl’that banner! softly, slowly ;
Treat-it gently it is holy—
For jt droops above the dead,
Touch it not —unfold it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever,
■ For its people’s hopes aie dead. . ‘

SKETCH OF STOXEW.UE JACK
SO*
Jackson was famous for the rapidity
| of'his movments. In the pring of
1 1862. when General Banks, supposing
: that he was far from the valley, sent
a column of his army to attack the
flank of General Johnston, then falling
back from Manassas, and started him
! self to report to Washington, Jackson
I suddenly wheeled and marched twen
ty six miles the fi< st day, and eighteen
by 10 o’clock the next morning,• and
struck at Kernstown a blew which
j brought back the column moving on
Johnston's flank and disconcerted Mc
! Clellan’s whole plan of campaign. A
few weeks later—just ■as Banks had
telegraphed to Washington that “the
Rebel General Jackson was in full re
treat on Gordonsvillej” he appeared at’
Me Do veil defeated Fremont’s advance
under Milroy, ’ joined Ewell at New
Market, Captured Front Royal,.march
ed all night, and captured Winchester
easy next morning, and drove the rem
nant of Banks’ aruiy across the Poto
ma before the YLinkee people were
aware that he was north of Staunton..
Learning ihat Shields and Fremont
were endeavoring to form a junction
in his; rear, he marched, his . already
broken down troops thirty miles a day
till he passed the point of danger and
then moved quetly up. the valley, un-’
til at. ‘‘Cross Keys. ’ and “Fort repub.
lie” he suffered himself to be- “caught,” 1
and defeated in detail the .twd armies :
sent to “crush’’him. One of his biog
raphers well puts it: “in thirty-two
days lie had marched nearly four linn- j
dred miles, shirmishing almost daily , j.
fmglit five battles, defeated three dr- ‘
mies, two of which were completely
routed , captured about twenty'pieces
of artillery, some four thousand pris
ioners and immense quantities of stores
of all binds, and had done all this
with a loss'of less than one thousand
men, hilled,, wounded and missing.”
In h : s. celebrated march to the rear of
the .braggart Pope (who “knew no lines
of retreat’’) he made sixty miles in
two days, and on various other occa
sions lie made as good.time Hi- ineii
rejoced in the .soubriquet of “Jackson's j
foot cavalry,” and it was a glo ioys ]
sight to witness the cheerful alacrity
with which they responded to every
call of their chief.
Another important element of his i
success was the secresy with which he j
formed arid executed his plans—the
consummate skill with which lie con- ,
coaled h's purposes from even his own
officers and men. It was a common,
remark.in his command “If the Yan
kees are as ignorant, of this move
ment as Wo are, ‘Old Jack’ has them.”
Immediately after the battle of “Fort
republic,” reinforcements were sent
him front •Richmond,, and it was the
general opinion in the army and among*
the people, that Jlfl would advance .
down the Valley again. The writ r
heard General Ewell remark to his.
Chiet of Staff who was going to Stan- |
ton on a few days leave of absence, that j
“lie need not hurry hack, as tlie army
would rest there eight or ten days be- .
fore sweeping down the valley again.’’ j
The next, morning at daybreak Jack- i
son put his army in motion for Rich- I
mond, leaving a brig; de of cavalry to
watch the enemy, who were id such,
profound ignorance of his movements
that at the very time he was thunder
ine on McClellan’s right flank, they
were intrenching against.an expected
attack from him. (Jur army and poo, j
pie were in the some ignorance. At
Charlottsville, it was expected that we
would turn off through Green and
Madison Counties; at Gordonsville, a
presbyterian minister, at whose house j
General Jackson made his headquar- !
tors, told me as a secret not to be
breathed, that we were to “march at
daylight the next morning fri, Culpep
per Court House, to intercept a col
umn of the enemy coming across the
mountains.’’ At Hanover Junction
we expected to head towards Freder- i
icksburg to me t McDowell, and it was
only on the day on which the great
battles began that the men began “to
see what old Jack was after” and rend
the air with shouts of anticipated vic
tory, General Jackson himself accom
panied only by a single guide, leit the
army at Frederick’s Hall. Louisa Coun
ty, about midnight (missing the ele
gant hieakfast which a gentleman sent
tor him next morning to partake of), j
and rode on horseback to Richmond, i
pressing several horses on the way
from citizens, who grumbled loudly at
having to give up their horses to “that
courier,” little suspecting who he was,
or the great mission he was on.
It is said that on this march Jack
son met one of Hood’s men straggling \
from the road, and ask.d him “whe r e
he was going ?’’
“J do not khow, sir,” promply re
sponded the Texan.
“What command do you belong to?’’
“I do not know sir.”
“What State are you from ?”
“Don’t know, sir. ’
“Wei ,” said the General, a little
impatif ntly, “what < o you know?” •
“Nothing at ail, sir, on this march,
for old Stonewall says we mu3c be
knownothings till after the next battle,
and I am not going to disobey or
ders.”
I remember the astonishment exhib
ited by a staff officer captured by some
of my regiment the morning of the
great battle of Gaines’ Mill, when told
that we belonged to ‘'Jackson’s arm
-I thought,” said he, ‘That Jackson
was in the \ alley. All is lost if he is
here.”
Just before the battle of Cedar Run
Mountain, General Ewell rode up to
the house of a citizen whom he know
well; while the troops were lying in
the road awaiting orders, and asked .
“Dr. , can you tell me which
way “e are going?”
“That question I should like to
ask you, General, it it were a proper
one.”
“I pledge you my word,” said the
General, “that I do not know whether
we will march north, south, east or
west. General Jackson ordered me
to have my division ready to move, and
that is generally as much as I know of
his plans.” ■ . ‘ ■ •
His march -to Pope’s rear was - so
rapidly and so s eroily tnadc, that the’
authorities at Washington tnought it’
a mere raiding party,- and sent up
ooe brigade to dispeiso the “raiders.”

when the end of the war seemed'u long
way off, a lien volunteering was at an
end,'and the draft imminent,, the city
of Boston was called’ upon- for about
six- thousand men.. A draft was al
ways abhorrent “0 the population here
Os all classes, anil dismay reigned, su-’
preme. .’ .
. Mohey was giv.en like water lor sub
stitutes, and the price'of men ranged’
from §BOO to SIOOO each. ‘At this
time,, one Chas. Burrill consulted with
the municipal- authorities as to the
best means of filling the quota, by pro
curing repentant rebels from the pris
on camp's ill tho West,- and by bring
ing to light-credit's not heretofore al
lowed. -The .mayor .signed a paper
promising to give him $125 for each
name obtained. With this paper Mr..
Burrill hurried to Washington, paying I
little attention to the enlistment of (re
bels in the West), and devoted his en
ergies to getting men who were al
ready enrolled in the navy .credited 1
against the quota. A bill introduced
into Congress for the purpose was op
poSed by the Western Mr.
Burrill ‘took • measures ’- (which Lie
hints were expensive ones)’ to silence
their oppos.ition.-4nd secure their votes
The bi 1 passed. He posted back to’
•Boston, and copied from th-e books of
the receiving ;hip at llie Charleston
navy yard the names of about G.OUO
men who had enlisted there, giving
this city as’their residence. • The list’
tyns passed to the credit of the city on
the books es the provost officers, .-the
quota was filled, and Boston was saved ‘
from draft. . . ] ’
The rejoicing of the eify authorities
over this preservation were irtrerrupted
by the presentation of Mr. Burnili’s
bill, $125 for each name which his
exertions had obtained, -amounted ‘to‘
about throe quarters of a mil ion of
money. The contract, given witli hopfc
that no might enlist r„ hundred men,-
seemed to stand equally good now” that
six thousand names had been obtained .
at a cost chean for single recruits, but
appalling in the agrog&tei The may
or in despair, wished that/by.the sacri--
lice of his entire fortune, lie could wipe
away the debt under which he. had
placed the taxrayers.’ Propositions of
compromise Mere made, and Mr. Bur
ri 11 was allowed an amount which
would have made him wealthy to relin
quish *is claim. He demanded the
whole sum, however, and would not
abate a jot. Consultations with law
yers followed. The city authorities
took heart and determined to fight the
case in the conrts. An inij osing ar
ray of council was engaged on both
sides, General Benjamin F. Butler
heading the plaintiffs force. The tri
al was commenced on last week. Af
ter Mr. Burrili’s testimony was all in,’
the defendant asked the court to take
the case from the jury on questions of
law to be decided by a full bench. —
After some hours of argument, tins
was done, and although of course the
decision was not final, Mr. Burriil’s
claim, for which five days ago he would
not take five hundred thousand dollars,
is now worth nothing at all. The point
n.ade by the defendant’s counsel, of
course, was that tfie mayor had no au
thority to make such a contract, and
there is every probability that it will
be so decided. Had the amount claim
ed been a tenth ol what it was, it would
undoubtedly have been paid without
resort to law, but Mr. Burrili’s voraci
ty Mas not content with a small sum,
and no tax payer is sorry that he has
now lost the whole.

New Judge—How the Radicals
PROPOSE TO GET RID OF HlM.— The
President has nominated Henry Stans
berry, of Ohio, Assoc ate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, vice
Judge Oa'ron, deceased. 3lr Stans
berry is the reputed author of the mes
’ sacrc vetoing the civil-iights bill. He
was also appointed a member of the
special commission sent to New Orleans
early in last year, to investigate affairs
in that department, but Was prevented
by sickness from assuming his duties.
It is intimated that the radicals will
offer no objection to the confirmation
of this appointment, and will thus avoid
a direct issue with the President, but
j a proposition has been made in the
House to abolish the district in which
Judge Catron presided.
An exchange tells of an editor who
went a soldiering and was chosen cap
tain. One day at parade, instead of
giving the orders, “Front face, three
paces forward,” he exclaimed rif “Cash,
two dollars a year, in advance.”

■ [Spebia! Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.]
Washingt <n, April 18.—The Re
construction Committee are to meet
to-morrow. . A strong effort will be
made to .rally all upon anew line.— ’
The radicals have fallen back in a dc-’
moralized condition from their former
advanced position. The new move*-
ment looks to keeping the Republican
party a unit, but it will fail of the ob>
j act. The President openly avowed his
illtPTltlrtn to appoint nono frtouvlo ui!
his policy. General .Wilson’s propo
sition in the Senate upon restoration
is significant. “ • •
The following is General- Wilsolds
proposition :•
Mr. Wilson, 6t Massachusetts, offer
ed the following constitutional .amend
ment :
Article l.’No payment shall ever bo
made-by the United States, or any
i State, on account of the emancipation
of-slaves, or any debt incurred in aid
; of insurrection ;against the United
I States.
If Representatives shall be appor-
I turned among the several States which
j'may be included in the Union aeccr
| ding to their resnective numbers, court
■ ting the whole number of persons in
[ each State.- Rut whenever in any Statu
the elective franchise shall ‘be denied
to any <?f its .inhabitants being male
citizens of the United States above the
! age - of twenty-one years for any cause
| except for. insurrection or rebellion
! against .the United States, the basis of
| representation in. Such States shall be
reduced-in the proportion which the
■ number- of. male citizens so excluded
shall bear'to. the whole number of
. male citizens over twenty-one years of.
•age.-- *. .
111..And whenever any of the States
which shall have been declared to have
been - in insurrection by proclamation
of the President dated April 2d. 18G3, ’
shall- ratify thd.fofegoing articles, Sen
ators and Represcntatives.tor the States
so ratifying shall he admitted in the
Senate and House of Representatives’
respectively, in the same.manner- as if
-elected from States where no rebellion
has existed. Referred.
It will be seen that Senator Wilson
does-not make negro suffrage a sine
qua non , neither, does he insist upon
the disfranchisement of all white men
who participated in the rebellion, nor
the perpetual proscription of those who
held high-positions in the Confederate
Government, Mr. Dixon’s amendment
to- the r'cport of tlie so called Recon
struc’tiori Committee,’ which’ will be
found in’ nur • telegraphic column, is
still more liberal. These arc stroh-r
indications that the proscriptive Ste- ■
vens.-SunjnOr faction arc losing ground
with"their own party. ‘

We ru - e not sorry-for the passage of.-
the hill. It .may end the quarrel and
serve to allay the radical violence,
which-is new temporarily in power, just
as a victim sometimes yielded to the
ferocity of a tyrant, or the blind, un
reasoning impulses of a inob operates
to restore quiet and the minds of men
into a better-arid more reflective con..--
dition. ‘
In the hands of the present Execu-!
tive the law can do no harm, and it
will only ultimately injure -the party
which has forced its passage. Long
before it will operate injuriously to
any one else, it’ will he repealed or prox
nounced by the'Supreme Court as un
constitutional. It is not easy in any
State to enforce laws which, passed by
a majority of’ its own Legislature, are
obnoxious to any considerable minority .
and they are always either inoperative,
or only partially enforced. Certainly
it Will be found impossible to enforce
laws of Congress on States where ‘an
overwhelming majority of the people
of those States arc opposed to them.
Laws odious to the great body of tho
people of any State it will he found can
he enforced only by the perpetual presi
ence of the bayonet, and that would
not long be endured anywhere in the
United States.
A friend of ours in Savannah has
requested the editor of the Republican

the A 'exes. To him (our friend) we are
much obliged, but we now request tho
edit r not t > send us another copy of his
filthy abolition sheet. It makes our
very blood bcil every time we read an
editorial sentence in it This fellow,
the editor, Hays, is a regular Massachu.
setts, blue-bellied Yankee, and took
possession of the Republican office
when Savannah first fell into the hands
of the Federals, without paying a cent
for it. Is it possible that we have men
in our midst who will patronize this
scamp ? It seems so, for this fellow
says he has the largest circulation of
any paper in Savannah —but the Post
Master doesn’t seem to think so, for
he advertises the letters in the Herald,
a paper of decency, respectability and
character. Don’t this show that Dog
Hays has lied ? But a Yankee will do
this any time for the sake of a quarter
or two. —Early County News,
