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 son is nobody havo got a paper to fight 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 age done to these editors. They’ve bad a good, jolly time, aud it will make em live longer. If there’s any* thing wrong about it, it is owin to the ' fact that editors are so poor generally ' that when anything is offered em gratis, VOL. IV. —NO. 33. they go in, whether it cornea trom St. Paul or the Devil. Most cf them are in the condition of my friend Under wood, who said he was ready to die in the name of the Lord—for he was even with the world—that is, he owed about as many as he didn’t owe, aod Dothiogf to pay with. But the main question is, were the Excursion a sucksess? Yours, truly, Bill Arp. P. B.—lt was not me thut said our Rome papers contained aboui ae much information ns two last year’s jay bird’s nests. I would not have thought of such a thing. The remark was made by my friend Big John. B A. 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.
