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. . ‘ A.BILL TO PROVIDE FOR THE RESTO RATION OF TIIE STATES LATELY IN .

Thomasville. Georgia, Wednesday, May 10, ISOO. [From the Metropolitan Record.] 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.” [From a Boston letter.

Io .th <3 ugrk days of I>Gi,’ 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. “ Shall I cut this loin of mutton saddle-wise?” said a gentleman. “ No,” said one of his guests, “cut it bridle-wise, for then I may chance to get a bit in my mouth ” - * ~ The Salisbury, (N.C.) Banner, says the military authorities of that place have suppressed the sale of the pic tures of Gen’l Lee and Gen'l Jackson. JOSH tt 11. LINGS* LECTURING RAID TIIKOI'i;II THE STATE OF MAINE.

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.” VOL. VI.—No. 20.

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. ‘ •A Xortiifxn Opinion of ilir Civil 5 Rights Kill. • The Boston Commercial, alludiDgto .thepassage of the Civil Rights Bill, says : —• -t . 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 to send us his paper in exchange for 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, Cassius at one time slaughtered 37,000 inhabitants of >Selencio.
