IXSCRIBHD TO BIS SURVIVING COMRiOtS.
Search all historic annals through,
Os England and of France ;
What braver chirfUin ever drew
A blade or poised a lance t
Not Sidney on the bloody field.
Os Zutphen’s fatal fight,-
A spirit loftier revealed;
Not Bavard, at liul. ss knight,
Possessed a nobler soul than he,
Who led Kentucky’s chivalry.
Nor grief, nor joy, shall evermoie,
Disturb flits gallant breast;
And now “Life’s fitful lever o’er,’’
’Tie fitting he should re«t,
Within the bosom of the land
Which holds the sacred dust
Os m ny of his gallant band,
Who deemed the cause was jti*t
For which they battled long and well,
For which, like him, they nobly fell.
Like brothers res iog side bv side,
Shall he and Hanson sleep;
Two valiant soltiivrs true and tried.
For them no longer weep,
O you who were thuir houored Dames,
Now clad in widow’s weeds ;
Their names forevermore are Fame’s ;
Their proud heroic deeds.
That now to history belong.
Shall five in story and in song.
Although no marble eolumn rise,
Above the hero’s bed,
To mark the spot where Morgan lies,
Among the honored deed ;
Although no sculptured stone shall tel),
The stranger passing by
The mournful story how he fell,
H'sname will never die;
For glory with a jealous care,
Shall guard the hero resting there.

I The publisher.-* have scut us « North
ern magazine called “Public Spirit ”
Skimming its pages, we came across a
remarkably well written sketch of the
battle of Shiloh, iu which Gen. Grant
is at ooue defeuded and extolled. Hav
iog graphical!}’ brought the combat to a
termination, the author pr. c.eds to de
tailing occurrences immediately conse
quent, among which is a reput'd dis
pacie’a of B> auregard’s dimly hinting at
a permission for the burial of bis dead
| and ministration cf the wounded. To
1 which r.qucst, sajs the eulogist of Hi
ram Ulysses, ‘Grant cunningly replied,
that the dead had been buried, and the
wounded cared for—which was not (rue
for a week afterward.’ Really, this is a
charming admission of willful and delib
erate falsehood od the part of a h.ro; a
seven day’s falsehood, which a truly
grand man would have scorned to utter.
The accusation of President Johnson,
in the Stanton controversy, has cumula
tive evidence, for he who spoke falsely
'to Beauragard would not hesitate to
prevaricate to Johnson.
What a contrast does such a emman
der present to General Lee! Who
would not rather, a million of times, be
the staiulcss President of Washington
College, with honor truth and sober
ness written npon his godlike brow, than
he who aspires to the purple over the
wreck of his country aud with divorce
of virtue.— Augusta Constitutionalist.
An enterprising undertaker sent the
follow iog excessively oooi note to a sick
man:
“Dear Sir —Having positive proof
that you are rapidly appn aching
death’s gate, I have thought it not itn -
prudent to call your attention to the en
closed advertisement of roy abuodaot
stock of ready made coffins, and make
ihe suggestion that you signity to your
friends a desire for (be purchase of your
bu.ial outfit at my establishment.’
The other day the internal revenue if
fleers was around Huzzird was giving

Flnm t e Attgtts'it Chronicle & S tt i-tel.
Our I‘ltiiu Hilly Tluliiill PrO-
Ivretioii—lFcnure ratio I until)..
We livve won that the Radicals, in
dealing with the nfpro, have directed
their t fforts mainly to attacking and ex
citing those passions which are most ea
sily amused, and when fired moat p -tcut
in con'r»llii g his action. They have
aettd wi h great sagacity and have
sb"wn on inconsiderable knowledge of
negro character in thus onnfi .ing their
operations to there sslicut points of their
psssions mid pnjitdices. Having at it—
t e sod the influ noes through which
the carpet feggers and mean whims
have been able 'o control the great
masr of the negr > vote, we should be
prepared to commence operations to
counteract their influences by a res irt
to the same pr> oer>e* thr ugh which
lh>-y have acquired such fearful ascend
sney ov r rl»« ui. It will hardly be
doubtfd that the main agency through
which they buvo bi cn ahl. to compact,
consolidate and control as one man the
negro vote, is that of their Loyal League
machinery.
Having arousrd the cupidity of the ne
gro, i (1 .mid lis pr- judiees and xcind
his feats against the fSouthtru whites,
it bcc.-mc necessary to divise and adopt
some no de by which these passions
c uld he brought to bear upon the race
0o lectively—some machinery whereby
uni yot interest aid of purpose c-uid
be established and secured Individu
al influence and action was liable to be
forgotten or counterfeited by the teach
ings of men of the country, or,
what was m«re probable still, the lin
gering attachments which slumbered in
the breas's of the negroes toward their
old ma-ters and tbeir lamilies, wore lia
ble at any moment to he aroused into
full and complete masteTy over their sc
ti' ns. To avoid this, and secure, be
yond reasonable doubt, iLe active and
continued co-operation cf the negroes
iu their plans to subvert the gnvrru
meot and destroy <ur liberties, they
drew them iDto their Loyal Leagues,
where they have adminie ered to them
solemn oaths, binding the poor deluded
Mick Qian to an irrevocable sntiswrvien
cy to their will, and an unchallenged
sohmisM n o their ■ rders.
To relieve the negro of tlio pressure
which is hr -ught to bear upon him by
these leagues ehouid be our first eff rt.
We sh"uld take steps at Once to assure
the cblorod man that the l -agues bhali
not moled or interfere wi’h Litu in any
way in tc sel c ion of thi s'- frit nds or
of that party which be • believes most
likely to’protect his person and foster
his (interests. Wc must quiet the ne
gro's far of al use acd violence from
the members of the leagae, by showing
not alone individual sympathy and sup
per’, but wo must be aide to poinl him
to an organization as strong in numbers
and in all ihe other cletnenls of power
and it fiueoce as that which we ask him
iO abandon On ibis point we must
give him absolute as-urancc, not only
of our willingness, but of our power, to
protect him fully in the mw relaiiuoe
which we ask him to assume, flow,
then, can this bo done ?
We at.ewer by the establishment, (f
mutual pmtrc ion tie inner a tic Clubs.—
These clubs should • rubrace ev- ry white
man in the State who desires the suc
cess Bt.d perpetuity of tr.-e government
and who wou and prevent the growth and
development, in t nr rni'V, of an an ag
oni-m of races. They should include
all the colon and men who are willing to
trust tb'ir hbenifs, their rights and
their property in the bands of those
who they have been born aud laised
with, and who they must continue in
the future to live and ultimately to die
with.
These clubs should promise to the
colored men •
First. Protection from the insu’ts,
j-ers, and violence ol the Lyal Leugu
ers.
Second. They should pledge them
selves to give the preference to their
own members in selecting mechanics,
laborers, or servants of any kind.
Third. They should give assurance
of tbtir support and patronage to those
tradesmen who are on tubers of the club
to the exclusion of outs dors.
Fourth They should mutual'y pledge
themselves not to countenance, support,
or employ, any one discharged by a
member on account of bis sympathy or
affiliation with the Radicals or Loyal
Leaguers.
F.ftb. They should keep a list of the
eo orsd mi mbers of the Club ooi stantly
on fie in the Cub room, with a state
m -nt of tbeir age, oecupatiou or calling
aud place if residence. And whenever
any of these should be out of employ
ment such wan' of et. ployment should
be marked op posite th.tr naans, so ibit
members wishing to secure labor may
be abla to sea, by reference to these
files, where to fiud r. This list should
*le? contain tbe ?ao«« those employ
ecs an 1 Servants who have to «u dis
charged by menihets ol the Club on ac
count **f Loyal League proclivities.
S xth. A regular course of weekly
or semi-monthly leofores should be pro
vided by the Club for the bent fit of the
colored members. These lectures be
ing cot fined mainly to the discussion cf
the political issues of the d«y, and thtir
applicative to our system of govern
ment, would accom' lish great good in
opening up to the mind of the colored
man the true relations of individuals to
society, and impressing Upon tbrmeor
r< ct ideas of the duti< sos the citic -ns of
the Governm nt under which wo live.
Th. se, it seems to us, embrace the
main features which should bo iuor,o
rated io tu* ntu'ual protection Clubs.
8 twe of ibmo, perhaps the last, might,
with propriety, he omi'ted, though wt
think tl at such a course of lectures as
is indicated wou'd be productive of
much good. I will he seen that the
Idea of “ mutual protect on'' is made
prominent iu this plan. We are firmly
convinced that if such organization be
come sueci ssful their success will de
pend mainly ujmn the decree * f effect
iv t e s which i- to ibis featurs.
Gt course we r a roly give the general
outl ne of the Oiganiza'ioo which we
advi.ie. Upon o •nauliatioii and inter
change of views it may be found expe
dient to ebaugi or considerably modify
the foregoing. (Dr object is cot so
much to give the precise organizations
of those clubs as it is direct attention to
the suhj-ct, and invite common's and
criticism. We shall be pleased to have
the views of our leading citizens upon
tbs subject. We are sati fied that
something not only must be, hut that it
can be, done to prevent the furthei con
trol of our color.d population bv the un
piiuoiplcd wretches who now have them
under subjection to their wicked wills.
Cos operation—organization is the first,
as it is the mast impcriant step to be
taken. The details may be shared and
modified to tuit the views of those most
interested. Again, we say, in conclu
sion, ac'ion—combined, organized ac
(i >n tg absi lut.ly necessary. Let our
people sot about its aoc mplistment
at )be eailiest possible period Aun'h
er election is closely impending We
-hould be prepared to mret the issues
which will soon bes. reed upoD us Lot
all good people remember that in this
cot A ct he. who is not with us is ajuinst
