Childhood Memories.
It is Sabba*li: tbo air is chilly and
cold, but soared alone in my room,
with tho warm blazing fire before me,
I heed not tho Coldness of wintry air,
| save as the sigh of the winds passing
| breath reminds me sorrowfully of the
| sad fate of the poor, who have no fire
j before which to warm their frozen
hands ami feet. In their dignity,
I scantily-furnished rooms, mayhap, it
;is as coltl and chilly as on tho street
to-day, ami I cannot meet tho breath
o tho wind without desiring to he
near tho fire. God, help tho poor!—
Many ami many a time you children,
my little readers, have prayed thus;
hut you, encased in warm furs and.
comfortable clothing, with kind indul
gent parents to satisfy your every
want, know not the full, deep mean
ing of those little words. “God help
the poor!’’ You pray it, but the while
a dimpled, pleasant sniilo wreaths
about your joy beaming face, and the
words fall from your lips almost un
consciously, you knowing so little of
their, true meaning. Study them,
children, and try to impress upon
your minds their full power, and then
you yourselves will, perhaps, in many
cases be tho instrumentality through
which your invocation will he answer
ed.
I have roceivod a sweet letter from
an old, old unforfrotfon friend to-day,
and childhood memories throng, like
bright dreams of a pleasant, flowery
land before my oyes; hut with them,
too, comes a shadowy sadness that
spreads athwart my soul a hue of
grief. This far- absent friend, whom
1 love even yet as though ’twere only
seven days bince we parted, when,
alas it has been as many years, was
in early boyhood time playmate of
myself and poor brother. \\ r o three
have sat upon the greonward beneath
the wide-spread heecheu bows and
and listened, with happy hearts, to
the sweet wild song of tho forest
birds, as tho echo of their mellow ma
tin calls floated softly like windsome
wind-melody among the troos. We
have wandered over the fields filled
with the rich aroma of gentle summer
flowers and the beautiful, ripe, golden
grain. Many a time we have left the
old school house upon the hills em
bowered in wreaths of green leaves,and
in midday in tho summer time, when
the lacy sun slmne warmly forth, went
down the hill to the brink of a tiny
stream and sotting upon its moss
grown hanks washed our naked feet
in its limpid, silvery waters! v\ e were
so happy then in innocent, lovely
childhood; and, would to God, that it
Could have beer, so forever. But it’
was not to be. Ido not believe we
had an impure thought my younger
brother and I. Our almost holy moth
er taught us love, and Heaven and
prayer. But the years come on apaco
and we were separated - 1 did not see
him frequently after that, hut our
love was yet strong, as I feed it re
newed again to-day. TIo was weak
physically, aud inclined strongly to
consumption-
Wh-en tho rebillion broke out, he
was among the' first to go with
others of my relatives. Ho began
perceptibly to decline in health, aud
died, though not far away,on a bloody
field, or in a rudely constructed hos
pital, but iu tire arms of our heart
broken mother I knew it not, being
miles away at tho time; hut a letter
from home brought me tho vtoelul
news. O, woo shall know the feelings
of my grief burdened- heart, as I read
the line announcing his death,through
fresh-wept, burning tears! Who shall
tell the deep agony ot my weary bruin!
To-day, those olden memories crowd
again upon my soul, and I see my
poor poor Vi us as in our last parting-,,
a genuine smile of lovo resting upon
his lips as he said to me, half playful
sly, a last “good bye.” Noblo gener
ous boy! Happily lie know not that it
was our last earthly sight of each
other, else our parting had been more
tender-, more affectionate it could not
have been; for, with all my faults, my
neglect es them, 1 do lovo my broth
ers, my sisters. But most of all now,
I lovo the memory of his lost, dead
one; and oft times, when alone, liej
fromthe v o and iu le intrusion thoughts
of him comes stealing ovt-r mo anil
my tried heart with grief. 1 can seo
in my souls \-i\ T id imagery the bent
form of my trial-how ed mother as it
kneels beside his (my brother’s)m§und
which rvill be grown over with green
grass when the birds and then mild
spring comes, and turning her tear-wet
bluo eyes to Heaven, meekly asks our
Father to bless tho living ahsout oues,
whose happiness lives about her heart
tenderly as tho love we cherish for
her kneeling figure. She knows her
boy sleeps there, with the two other
pure souls “gone before,” and she
blesses God that her days aro only a
few more, when she will he gathered
to him. But, ah mother ! who shall
bless us when thou art gone? 1 re
ntembe, now, for memory is busy,
when a little child, how I knelt mo oft
at thy feet and murmered as th\ lips
syllabled the words for my untaught
ntind, “Now I lay me down to sleep.”
’Gus, too, was thero. dear mother.
But my wailing heart trembles now,
AVhen I know that he i-no more,and we
all ate parted—you almost alone.
God help thee and keep thee to Him
is the oft-breathed prayer of thy faith
ful, wand -ring boy, blue-eyed Will
But the tears will cone again when
I think of the lost, and my heart
moans with its weight of wearisome
grief, the saddening cry, “poor, poor
Gus!”

A Novlltern Paper’s Opinion of
I ho Grcm surrender!!.
The New York Exprw makes the
following complin e it when comparing
tho surrender at Appomattox with tho
capitulation of Sedan:
The French Council of Ministers,
up to Saturday evening, must have
••ithor been imperfectly informed of
their losses at .Sedan, or else were
afraid to communicate to tho excited'
l’arisans tho whole truth. They speak 1
of the swrenv r of B>,“0i) men by |
Gen: McMahon, whereas our <lis- ;
patches to-day stare that tho number j
will reach 120,000.
There have been many groat wars
within the past half a contury —both
in Europo and in this country—and
there have been a great many surren
ders, but wo cannot just now remem
ber so prodigious a surrender as this.
A hundred and twenty thousand men
with arms in their hands, it sooms to
us, should have been capable of some
thing better, something more heroic
than ahsoluto and unqualified surren
der—even though tho enemy largely
outnumbered it. We can only com
prehend it on the theory that the sol
diers wero h idly officered, and le 1 to
battle by men who, though valorous
enough, do not seem to liavo been en
dowed with tho qualities necessary to
enable them to “snatch victory front
tke laws of defeat.”
Wo car. only infer what might h:
done from what really ions done during
our own rebellion. The Confederate
General Lee, with a half-naked, "half
starved army, or remains of an army,
of some forty or fifty thousand men, we
all know, held Gen. Grant at hay be
fore Richmond for some six months,
with 20D,(JD0 men, mere er less, and
only surrendered at last when tho
commissariat had distributed the la-t
crust and the last ounce of powder. Ls
that French army at Sedan hail had
leaders with some of Lee’s brains an l
pluck, Frenchmen would not have had
to blush to-day for so inglorious a
surrender.
We are rnly too proud to hear our
grandold cheiftaiu’s eulogiutn. All
praise to tho brave old man! As gal
lant, patient and enduring men ns
composed these tattered and linlf
sta? red C'tmf. > fora to lint s will not of
ten ho found iu tho world’s history.
No blame can possibly bo attached !
to Marshal McMahon for the French
sutr-nder. Seriously wounded, lie
doubtless was rendered horn du combat.
Nor is it to he supposed that ho could
even have taken part in a council of
war. Ilis prior caroor has been tot)
glorious a one, both rs to courage and
ability, to allow cither an imputation '
as to bravery or military knowledge.

Spurgeon, tho famous Lind-on
preacher, has written a letter address
ed to Napoleon, Emperor of the French
and William, king of Prussia. Yv’o
quote a portion.
l)id either of you c "< r think of
what war means? Did you ever see
a mans head smashed, or his bowels
ripped open? Why if you aro made
ot flesh and hlottd, tho sight of oho
poor wounded man, with tho blood
oozing out of him, will make you feel
sick. I don’t Kke to drown a kitten;
1 can't bear oven to soo a' rat die or
any animal in pain. But a man! ;
where’s your hearts if you can think i
of broken legs, splintered bones, heads
smashed in, braines bloved out,
bowels torn, hearts gushing with gore
ditches full of blood, aud heaps of
limbs and carcases of mangled men?
Do you say my languge is disgust
ing? How much more disgusting
must the things themselves he! And
you make them! How would you
like to get a man into your palace
garden and run a carving khife into
his bowels or cut his throat? If you
did that you would deserve to ho
hanged; hut it would not bo half so
had as killing tens of thou amis, and
you know very well that this is just
what you are going to do. Do you
fancy that your drums and sis-s, and
feathers and fineries and pomp, make
your wholesale murder one whit tho
loss abominable in the sight of God ?
Do not deceive yourselves; you are
no better t tan the cut-throats whom
your own laws condemn.
Butter? why, you aro worse, for
yout murders aro so many Think, I
pray you, for your poor people will
have to think whether you door no.
Is thero so little want in tho world
that you must go trampling on the
harvest with your horses and met-.?—
Is thero so little sorrow that you must
make widows by tho thousand ? Is
death so old ami feeble that you must
hunt his game for him, as jackals do
for the lion? Do you imagine that
God made men for you to play rsith?
Are they only meant for toys for you
to break? O Kings,a ploughman te 's
you that their souls are as previous in
God’s sight as yours, they suffer ns
much pain when bullets pierce them
as ever you can do; they havo homes,
I and mothers and sisters, and their
! deaths will be as much wept over as
yours, perhaps more.
How can you sit down to eat when
I you have caused war? Does not the
| blood rise in your throat and choke
you? Or aro you only doviis with
crowns on? Creatures who wero never
i suckled at a woman’s breast, aa'l
therefore have re human feeling? Tt
VOL. V. —NO. 3 2.-
will bn hard for you to think of the
blood you have shed when you lie dy
ing, and harder still to bear the heavy
hand of God when he shall cast all
murderers into hell. Whichever it is
of you that has boon tho cause of this
wicked war, 1 say you smell of blood;
you ought to bo more hated than the
common hangman, and instead of be
ing called “His Majesty,” you ought
to he hooted as a demon.

We have been permitted to publish
the following interesting letter to the
Governor from Judge Gibson. Tho
letter was was not intended for pupli
cution, hut it gives so clear and correct
a statem nt of the whole matter, that
, we have solicited tho priviledgo of
presenting it focur readers.
Will tho Macon TTyniph and other
papers that charged the Governor
j with having authorized and instructed
I the colored people to take the law in
their own hands, publish the letter of
Judge Gibson?
The letter is as follows:
Augusta., September 10, 1870.
Gnrernor : I am just home from
Louisville, Jeffers n county, tho scene
|ot the recent riot and insurrection. I
feel that it is both due you and tho
; high position you hold, to give an im
partial and fair statemont of all tho
! fads developed on tho trial, or that
I could ascertain from citizens of in,-
, telligonce aud reliability.
On Friday, the nineteenth (19th)'
of August, a colored man was arrest
ed and confined in jail for mnliciout
mischief; on Saturday, tho 20th, a
l ; ii'l of colored men, variously estima
t "l (V un fifty to one hundred, appear
'd or and; streets and demanded the
k v- of the jail, to release, said colored
man so confined. Upon being refus
ed the keys, they proceeded to the jail"
where, upon being mot by some of tho
citizen ;, they wero persuaded to desist
( tjoe Fye, the head and organizer of
this hand, then went ami sent runners
to various portions of the county,
when he succeeded in obtaining a
it ire determiu! 1 and desperate set of
men, whom ”o ]o 1 to the jail (or rath
er followed), and, with divers implo
ments, broke upon tho outside door of
tho jail, and ralea-md the prisoner,
after which loud shouting and re
ports of firearms rvere heard; various
throats were made; also very great ex
citement prevailed, and many rumors
were spead over the county and ad
jilining counties, which caused the
collection of many armed white men
in Louisville. Some of thorn seemed
to be ay-ill organized, as they had
chaplains, surgeons, bandages, com
missaries, etc., etc The colored peo
ple too, assembled on many of the
plantations in unusal numbers, and
many of thmn cameos near Louisville
f.s a u;il and a half. If any portion
of tl;' n wero armed, it was v.try poor
ly Cudjoe, like many'other leaders
in fho pr -t, bed left iu pursuit of some
soft or hiding place, leaving his be
guiled and deceive 1 followers to suffer
the cons quencos of their folly. Thus
matters steed until the timely arrival
of Lieut Meier, with a detatchntent of
Lui ted States troops, who, with tha
Sheriff and other civil olficors, soon
arrested the leaders, (Cu ljoe himself
having boon taken in his flight at or
near Macon ) anil most of the promi
nent privates. Notwithstanding this
great provocation, not a citizen of
Louisville or Jefferson attemped at
any time, to vindicate or punish this
great outrage by violence of any sort,
hut they were prudent, calm and firm
throughout and to the last, and to-day
are, almost to a man, fully satisfied
with tho results.
Cudjo s clubs that he had organized
seemed to have a I4th, 15th and 16th
law; one to collect wages by seizure
an l sale, another to relieve each other
when imprisoned or imposed upon,
and sixteenth, if refused the ballot, to
go in a body and take the polls. To
beguile and deceive his confiding race
into his clubs, he assured them that
he "as backed by Gen. Grant and
Govenor Bullock, and had authority
from them to organizo. When his
deluded followers would have charged
him thus, poor Cudjoe would deny it.
In order to authenticate his deception
thus practiced, he ha-1, it seems, two'
small hooks from which ho would oc
cn ionaily road his laws and authority,
none of his poor deluded followers be
ing themselves able to read. There is
not the first particle of testimony,
uor could any ho obtained after the
most thorough investigation, to sus
tain Cudjo s assumption that either’
0.-tieml Grant or Govenor Bullock
had any agency in t»e matter or had
even seen Cu-Ijo, and no citizen with
whom I conversed, gave any credonco
whatever to Cudjo’s statements.
—The punishment inflicted, I con--
scientiously believed sufficient and just
and the general impression seems to
he that the evil is fully corrected.—
Time alone can tell. I presume Lieut.
Miller will make his report to General
Terry, to whom the peace and order
of the State aro greatly indebted, and.
to whom, tiio citizens of Jefferson, I
ir. iist express my entire approbation
of their noble bearing and conduct as
well as prompt action, throughout this
trying ordeal.
