POETRY.
Fine Poetry.
Cos). Ilugb J. Campbell, editor of ihe
secular side of Dr. Nowoau’s paper,
thus remarks :
Among the few songs of tte war that
will live and bo cla«sio for all time, we
have always ranked the following. Al
though a tribute to the dead who fell
iu battle opposed to us aud ours, aud
although the offspring of a pen whioh
has written some bitter and rcvcDgeful
things that had better been unsaid, in
it there is nothiug hut what befits a beau
tiful, inspired and thrilling tribute to
the heroic and immortal dead-heroic, for
they fell in that grandost apotheoeis of
mortals, the field of battle; immortal,
for they died for all who live after them.
Aod this is always true, no matter on
what side, in what land, for what cause
men pour out their lives in war. In
this day of rhymesters, when you can
count on your fingers the true poems
which now and them beam on us like
stars through rifts of clouds, we canuot
afford to lose one of the first magnitude :
[From “The Land We Love," for April.
OUR DEAD.
Do we weep for the heroes who died for us ?
Who, living, were trne and tried for ns,
And in death sleep side by eide for us T
The martyr band
That hallowed oar land
With the blood they poured in a tide for us.
Ah ! fearless on many a day for us,
They stood in the front of the fray for us,
And held the foeman at bay for us ;
Fresh tears should fall
Forever—o’er all
Who fell while wearing the gray for us.
How many a glorious Dame for us 1
How many a atory of fame for us
They left t Would it not be a show for U3
If their memory part
From our land and heart ?
And aggrevious wrong and a blame for us ?
No—no—no—they were slain for us,
And bright were the lives they spent for us,
The land they struggled to save lor us
Canuot forget
Its warriors yet,
Who sleep in so many a grave for us.
No—no—no—they were slain tor us,
And their blood flowed out in a rain lor us,
Red, rich and pure on the plain for us;
And years may go,
But our tears shall flow
O’er the dead who have died iu vain for us.
And their deeds —proud deeds —shall remain
for us,
And their names—dear names- without stain
for us,
Aud the glories they won shall not wane for
us;
In legend and lay
Our heioes m gray,
Though dead, shall live over again for us.
Moina.
Knoxville, Tenn., March 1, 1867.
\Ye transfer from the Home Courier
of the 16th inst., the following inter
esting and amusing letter of Bill Arp
on the Press Excursion :
“Bill Arp” ou the Press Excur
sion.
Mr. Henry W. Grady :
My Dealt Young Fuibnd —You ask
me what I think of the Press Excur
sion. As an old man full of years and
honors (sich as they are) I will sat
that, taking the whole concern into
consideration, from Bullock and Bans
Wright down, and up, to Ilulbertand
Fitch, I will sny that I have been sori.
ously considering whether the Excur
sion were a success or not. Some of
the editors say they were sucked in.—
I suppose there were some suckers
along, and some sucking done, hut I
do not think that kept it from being a
suckuess.
Now, Mr. Grady, I like editors—
they are a respectable family of peo
ple, and I suppose can’t be bought—
for a less price than other folks—every
body has his price, and so has editors (
I suppose. I don’t know what is the
price of editors, but I do know that
they are frequently bought. I noticed
that soon alter they had visited our
high mountains there wes some trudin
done. Some organs sell purty high,
and some less, accordin to mu-ic, and
it is omumn to see em cha-ge their
bast. Now, I’m in for all the fun that
can be enjoyed, and after a poor editor
has wore out hie brains and his body
a lyin on one side, 1 think ils good for
bis constitution to turn over and lie on
the other.
But this is all furren to the subject.
Thequestion isweretheExcursion a euc
eess ? I was thinking that editors had
things mosttumuebtheir own way.butl
don’t see really how *t can be helped.
They are their own judges and juries,
and nobody else can say a word agin
em. Nobody else has got a paper, and
if anybody else wanted to criticise or
abuse ern, it would be a litt’.o too late
to get it in. I’ve got nothin special agin
editors, only this : They all stand up
to one another, and can buae every
body, and nobody has a chaDce to
fight back. There ain’t but one thing
that makes em mad with one another,
and that is for one feller to git more
pap, or daddy, than the rest git. Then
the fur tlies, and hides are put on a
pole. The whole unfortunate thing
gits mad, and they remind one of a pig
runnin off with a year of corn, and all
the litter squealin after him. Editors
say its high principle actuatin cm, but
a close observer says, they are mad be
cause the fortunate individual sold out
for a less price than they hud been
askin.
But, to go back to the main point
—were the Excursion a sucksess? If
that is the question, what constitutes
sucksess? Why to carry one pint.—
Well, I might say sarkastically, that
the excursion doDe that and half a pint
over. But,seriously, if having a good
time at other people’s expense is a
sucksess, then they had it, and they
enjoyed it, and we all enjoyed it, and
have been feelin good about it ever
since. We lock back at it as a green
Oasis, aDd nave nothing to regret
about it, only that they didn’t stay any
longer. I like editors, and have only
made the foregoing cuustic remarks
out of deference to the public, who
like slander. You needn’t talk to me
about trie Atlanta Slander Mill. I’ve
watched human natur for several years
and my opinion is that every man has
got a small slander mill io his own bo
som. Blander is as necessary to good
moral health as turnip greens in the
spring of the year. Its right hard to
live without it, and my opinion is that
it does more good than harm. I al
ways feel kinder toward a man after I
have abused him. It sorter restores
the equilimrium.
But the question is, were the Ex
cursion a sucksess ? Fitch says it
was, and Fitch ought to know, for
what he didn’t see, aod hear, and par
take of, didn’t belong to the concern
Fitch developed as he went along.—
He drew his pints from history and
Galilee, and St. Paul, and Gaskili, and
et ceteres. lie says he wasn’t demor
alized or contaminated by Bullock, or
Hulbert. or Glascock, or Hancock, or
any other roostor. Fitch is an
honest editor—l don’t know wliut his
price is, but I’ll be’, he don’t ask as lit
tle as some folks who put on mere pre
tensions. Several of em don’t s«em to
know how to write about it. After
gittin all the good of it, they say well,
we—had a—very—good—time—and
—but—and Bullock and liuibert—
they—will, &c., and sor forth. Wil
lingham enjoyed it, and so did Fitch,
and they talk out of school, Fitch
says there ain’t but two honest editors
in Georgia—one of whom he is which,
and modesty forbids him to nam* the
other. There is a heap of competition
for that other and I don’t knew who’ll
git it, but I rather supposed it would
he between vVhitaker’a front and Dr.
Bard’s rear.
But, the question is, were the Ex*
cutsion a suckeese? One thing is cer
tain, I’m in favor of havin ern once a
year, just for the fun of the thing. It
was a gaiorious occasion, and done the*
editors good. The trouble with edit
ors is that they can see other people’s
faults, but they can’t see their own.—
Nobody ever writes about em—every
one praises the other’s papers. r
even say they are gratified that you,
Mr. Henry, have lied your time and
talents to such an able sheet as Mr
Dwionell’s! Great spoons! Good
sukes !as Col. Akin would say. But I
shan’t make any inuendoes. I’ll refer
the matter to Filch. Editors can
write as fool thiDgs as anybody, but
nobody dare to tell em of it. The roa

back in. I’ve thought I would buy a
paper, but then if I did I suppose I
would jine the fraternity and stand up
to my crowd.
But the question is were the Excur
sion a suck sets? ? Hulbeit says it was
and Hulbeit is a man of parts. I
might say he was a whale, aud that
the Press was Jonah—but 1 won’t
make such painful ullusion—nevertbo
less, Huibe't was a sucksess—that’s
certain. Ho got the editors in a cau
tious state. They whispered “cat in
the meal tub,” and be holiered in a
great big, double bass voice, “IRON.”
They said there’s jpliticks in ail this,
and he shouted, “coal —anthracite—
hematite —marbles—gold,” and they
hushed and went along as gently as a
drove of bogs follerin a leaky corn
wagon. I tell you Halbert bad a
devil of a time of it, for there were as
few barrows along who were hard to
tole, but he tolled era. He did certara
and they eat his corn, aDd rt was good,
sound corn, and it fattened em, and
they oughteat to be ashamed of it. I
don’t thiuk there has been auy dam

thing wrong about it, it is owin to the
' fact that editors are so poor generally

But the main question is, were the

Lazy Lerdliagsi
An exchange speaks of the Southern
planters as “Jezy lordliDgs,” to which
“Brick” Pomeroy, in his New York
Democrat, responds as follows :
Hold on a moment, who in those lazy
lordhngs ? Are they the bonholdcrs of
New England and Wall street, or the
men in the South who are laboricg un
der terrible disadvantages to repair the
ravages of the war?
The so-called lazy lordlings are the
producers of tho South. The rightful
owners of the soil. The ones who for
years have raised the cotton that gives
us credit abroad. They are the ones
who paid taxes, aided in developing the
industry of the country —who paid mil
lions of dollars each year to the North
ern manufacturers, for the benefit and
beautifying of Northern homes.
They are the ones who oared for the
black men better than tho wbito factory
operative of New England are cared
for. The ones who fought like heroes
and patriots, as did Washington and
his compeers, for what they believed to
be right.
Tney are tho ones who havo been
robbed by the thieves of the North, tyr
annized over by Northern tyrants clad
iu the garb of soldiers—libelled by paid
vilifiers in the service of a rotton admin
istration—denounced as inhuman fiends
aud deprived by reckless powor of the
ability to support the ones thrown upon
them to care for.
Your lazy lordlings are bondholders
who pay no taxes—who give presents
to Grant—who dissipate in fancy hotels
and coDcubine ranches—who are sup
ported by the working->men of the coun
ry everywhere. You blame us for
speaking of Lincoln, as if one we think
did wrong could take shelter behind a
gravestone—yet you persecute with
power and iusult with words a defence
less brother, when he is minding his
own business and setting an example
others should follow.
“Well, here wo is, Massa Jack,” said
a colored pair so the Clerk of tho Court,
one day last week.
“What will you have?"' inquired the
CUrk.
“Well, Mass Jack, we is been mar
ried nearly a year, and find it ain’t no
use a tryiti’-—we can t live together no
longer. Bo wes come to git 'vorced.—
I wants it, and she wants it—so we
’eluded to come aod git you- to fix it up
for us.”
Here the female portion of the fami
ly entered her protest,saying she “didn’t
want no 'vorce. "Twas him, a lying
rascal, dat wanted to quit.” She was
willing to stick to her bargain. She
didn’t want no ’vorce.
The Clerk informed them that Bo had
no authority to act in the matter, and
told them that upon proper grounds, be
fore the Superior Court, they might be
fixed up, ete.
The unhappy pair retired, with the
asserdon on their lips that “there is no
law for negroes ” —Hancock Journal.
Lockjaw.—A correspondent of the
Seientifia American, on this subject,
says;. .
Let any one who has an attaok of
lockjaw take a small quantity of spirits
of turpentine, warm it, aod pour it ou
the wound—no matte* what the wound
is, or wLat its nature—-and relief will
billow in iess than one minute. Noth
ing better can he applied to a severe cut
or bruise than cold turpentine, it will
give oerfaiu relief almost instantly.—
Turpentine is also a sovereign remedy
for croup. Saturate a piece of flannel
with it and place on the throat and
chest. Iu very severe cases three to five
drops on a lump of sugar may be takeu
inwardly.

tion : “Oa this altar of the greatest sac
rifice for the country’s good to the Lone
Star State ofifors her emblem as incense
to renewed fraternal love. A wayward
sister, yet she is a sister.” Officers in
charge placed the tribute at the foot ol
the coffin.— Cor. Louisville Courier-
