SUNDAY MORNING. APRIL 26,1868
THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.
The floral tribute to the Confederate dead
will possess unusual significance,, in view
of the recent elections and their abhorrent
surroundings. Those who strew flowers
over the graves of departed heroes will feel
that the quiet dreamers in the dust are far
happier than those who still walk the
rugged paths of a distracted world. Our
martial countrymen failed in their high
emprise, but gained a blessed release from
the woes the living arc compelled to endure.
For them the wreath of wild flowers, for
us the crown of thorns.
The following verses, from the pen of a
most gifted lady of Augusta, will speak the
sentiments of all true men and women.
They canpot fail to stir the pulses with
unusual thrills. We have read them with
emotions not easily allayed, and never to be
utterly lost while tyranny survives, liberty
has an aspiration, or fame a martyr:
Dixie.
I heard long since a simple strain ;
It brought no thrill of joy or pain,
Nor did I care to hoar again,
Our Dixie.
But time rolled on, and drum and fife
Gave token of a coming strife,
And called our youth to soldier life,
With Dixie.
It breathed of mingled hope and fear;
It banished peace, brought discord near,
And cost each mother many a teir,
That Dixie,
For gathering legions marched away,
And garlands maidens wreathed each day,
To crown them for the fierce array,
In Dixie.
Tbe husband parted from the wife,
And from the aged, bis staff of life,
In some fair boy, whose head was rife
For Dixie.
And so our treasures, one by ouc,
All by the battle-field w.re won ;
They heard at morn and setting sun,
Our Dixie.
But soon Death claimed the young and brave;
Valor or beauty could not save
Our darlings from a soldier’s grave,
In Dixie.
Their blood flowed on the fresh green hili;
It mingled with the mountain rill,
And poured through vales once calm and etlll,
In Dixie.
The oceau caught trie crimson stain,
And moaned and moaned that troubled main,
For those who would not come again
To Dixie.
The living rallied to their stand;
Their war-cry was thcii “ Native Land,”
But sadder from the lessening hand
Came Dixie.
Vet still It roused to deeds of fame,
And mads immortal many a name,
And never caused a blush of slmme,
Our Dixie.
The dying boy its music caught:
“ I do not die i* vain,” he thought—
Freedom by death and blood are bought,
For Dixie.
Bleep on, young soldier, with thy dream ;
Well dld’at thou die with that bright gleam
Os hope, to shed its parting beam,
* For Dixie.
There’s many a sad heart living now,
Would rather in thy young grave bow,
Than see his country laid so low,
Had Dixie.
1 draw the veil; eaclt stricken heart
Must mourn its own lost ones apart;
In every eye a tear will start
For Dixie.
We may not hear that simple strain
fiver without a thrill of pain—
Our dead come back to life again,
With Dixie.
And if I were a generous foe,
I'd homer him whose heart's best throe
Leaped to that music sad ami low,
Our Dixie,,

Attempt to Secure General Butler
a Place in President Johnson’s Cabi
net. —General Butler, it appears from a
letter addressed by one of his staff to Hon.
Lewis D. Campbell, on the 19th of April,
1865, was anxious at that time for a place
in President Johnson’s Cabinet, and urged
the removal of Secretary Seward or Stan
ton to make room for himself, even while
Mr. Seward’s life was yet in danger from
- the assassin’s knife. The letter is as fol
lows
Washington, D. C., April 19,1865.
My Dear Sir : The greatest crime of
centuries has thrown the robes of Mr. Lin
coln upon the shoulders of your good
friend, Mr. Johnson, about whom we differ
ed slightly when I was at your house.—
You will agree with me, I think, that some
change in the Cabinet ought to be made,
and probably will be. You also agree, I
suspect, that Butler, for any place, especial
ly War or State, is about the best man in
the country. Presuming these things, 1
write to ask that you make the best demon
stration you can to that effect. You can
write Mr. J. a letter that will be of great
weight with him. You can induce other
good men to do the same; and, perhaps,
after setting the ball in motion at home,
you could come here in person. 1 wish you
would. lam certain you would do a pub
lic service, and greatly oblige Butler, and
his friends. I am confident I shall hear
from you in a substantial effort.
JBilithfully, yours,
J K. Herbert.
Hon. L. D. Campbell.
’ P. S. Why not see Taft, Hoadley, and the
friends we met last year in Cincinnati ?
J. K. H.
On the back of the above letter is writ
ten this memorandum : “ Wade, Chandler,
Carter, Julian, and such as they, are doing
all they can fbr General B.”
What They Say of Butler at the
“Hub.” —A Washington correspondent of
the Boston Advertiser, % Jacobin sheet, thus
speaks of Butler’s manner of conducting
the impeachment trial:
“ Mr.' Butler calls for the witnesses, Mr.
Butler examines the witnesses, Mr. Butler
explains the purpose of testimony, Mr. But
ler answers the objections of the counsel
on the other side, Mr. Butler supplies the
amusing retorts which enliven the occa
sion, Mr. Butler bullies the Chief Justice,
Mr. Butler apt lounces that the case is
closed. The President’s counsel—whether
Mr. Evarts, Mr. Curtis or Mr. Btanbery is
speaking, say ‘ we;’ Mm BotlersaysM.’ If
Mr. Butler has not finished bis oysters
when,the fifteen minutes’ recess is over, the
case waits for him; if he is ready, the trial
proceeds, whether , half the Senators are in
sheir places or not.” ~ v *
Behind the Scenes-
Piquant Revelations' by Mbs. Lincoln’s
Colored Milliner Domestic Life at
the White House.
■W -- vifi ,„ i
A book, entitled w Behind the Scenes,”
has been published by George W. Carleton
& Cos. The author is Mrs. Elizabeth Keck
ley, an American citizen of African descent,
for thirty years a slave, subsequently
modiste for Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and for
four years an inmate of the White House,
and Mrs. Lincoln’s “ next friend.” The
chapters of this book are entitled as follows:
“Girlhood and its Sorrows,” “ In the Family
of Jefferson Davis as Mrs. D.’s confidential
servant,” “,Mv Introduction to Mrs. Lin
coln,” “ Behind the Scenes,” “ The Assassi
nation of Mr. Lincoln,” “ Secret History of
Mrs. Lincoln’s Wardrobe in New York,”
etc.
Mrs. Keckley has told her story plainly
and clearly, and with sufficient piquancy.
Mrs. Lincoln speaks her mind freely in the
book, and occasionally criticizes very
sharply some persons in whom she has
evidently lost confidence. Upon reading
the book with considerable care, says the
New York Cominerdal Advertiser, we are
sum that the strictures of this paper upon
the sale of Mrs. Lincoln’s wardrobe were
amply deserved, and that the half has not
been told in regard to this woman. She
discloses her character in this book most
freely.
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS ONE OF MRS. LINCOLN’S
EARLY LOVERS.
Mrs. Keckley relates-that Mrs. Lincoln,
from her earliest childhood, was convinced
that she would be the wife of a President.
WJien a young lady, she was, says the book,
courted by Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas.
The latter offered himself to her and was
discarded. He pressed liis suit more bold
ly =
“ Mary, do you know what you are re
fusing?’ You have always had an ambition
to become the wife of a President of the
United States. Pardon the egotism, but; I
fear that in refusing my hand to-night you
have thrown away your best chance to
ever rule in the White House.”
“ I do not understand you, Mr. Douglas.”
“ Then I will speak more plainly. You
know, Mary, I am ambitious like yourself,
and something seems to whisper in my ear,
‘ You will be'Presideut some day.’ Depend
upon it, I shall make a stubborn fight to
win the proud position.”
“ You have my best wishc§, Mr. Douglas,
still I cannot consent to be your wife. I
shall become Mrs. President, or I am the
victim of false prophets, but it will not be
Mrs. Douglas.”
I have this little chapter in a romantic
history from the lips of Mrs. Lincoln her
self.
At one of the receptions at the White
House, shortly after the first Inauguration,
Mrs. Lincoln joined iathe promenade with
Senator Douglas, lie was holding iWxni
quet that had been presented to iter, and as
they moved along he said :
“ Mary, it reminds me of old times to
have you lean upon my arm.”
“ Yon refer to the clays of our youth. 1
must do you the credit, Mr. Douglas, to
say that you were a gallant beau.”,
“ Not only a beau but a lover. Do you
remember the night our flirtation ivas
brought to an end f”
“ Distinctly. You now see that I w r as
right. lam Mrs. President, but not Mrs.
Douglas.”
“ True, you have reached the goal before
me, but Ido not despair. Mrs. Douglas—
a nobler woman does not live—ii I am
spared, may possibly succeed you as Mrs;
President.”
Mrs. Keckley then describes tlie love
making of Mr. Lincoln, his rejection, his
despair and his final acceptance by Miss
Todd. Tlie Ilcrndou story is spoken of as
“ a pleasant piece of fiction.” The whole
affair, as related in this book, is an illustra
tion of the delicacy of tlie parties engaged
in the work.
MRS. LINCOLN AT TIIF, YVniTE HOUSE.
Passing over a vast amount of other mat
ter, we come to the campaign of 1864, and
Mrs. Lincoln’s peculiar method of conduct
ing it.
In 1864 much doubt existed in regard to
the re-election of Mr. Lincoln, and the
White House was besieged by all grades of
politicians. Mrs. Lincoln was often blamed
for having a certain class of men around
her.
“ I have an object in view, Lizabcth,” siie
said to me in reference to this matter, “in
a political canvass it is policy to cultivate
every element of strength. These men have
influence, and we require influence to re-elect
Mr. Lincoln. I will be clever to them until
after the election, and then, if we remain at
the White House, I will drop every one of
them, and let them know very plainly that
I only made tools of them. They are an
unprincipled set, and I don’t mind a little
double dealing with them.”
“Does Mr. Lincoln know what your
purpose is ?” I asked.
“God, no ; he would never sanction such
a proceeding; so 1 keep him in the dark,
and will tell him of it when all is over.”
Mrs. Lincoln was extremely anxious that
her husband should be re-elected President
of the United States. In endeavoring to
make a display becoming her exalted
position, she had to incur niany expenses.
Mr. Lincoln’s salary was inadequate to
meet them, and she was forced to run in
debt, hoping that good fortune would favor
her, and enable her to extricate herself
from an embarrassing situation. She bought
the most expensive goods on credit, and in
the summer of 1864 enormous unpaid bills
stared her in the face.
MRS. LINCOLN'S DEBTS.
Mrs. Lincoln has a long conversation
with Mrs. Kecklcy in regard to her debts,
and her plans for meeting their payment.
We quote:
“ I owe altogether about $27,000; the
principal portion at Stewart’s, in New
York. You understand, Lizabeth, that
Mr. Lincoln has but little idea of the ex
pense of a woman’s wardrobe. He glances
at my rich dresses, and is happy i n't he be
lief that the few hundred dollars that I ob
tain from him supply all my wants. I must
dress in costly materials. The people scru
tinize every article that I wear with crittcal
curiosity. The very fact of having grown
up in the West subjects me to more search
ing observation. To keep up appearances,
I must have money, more than Mr. Lincoln
can spare. He is too honest to make a
penny outside of his salary ? consequently
I had, and still have, no alternative but to
run in debt.”
“ And Mr. Lincoln does not even suspect
how much you owe ?”
“ God, no' F—this was a favorite expres
sion of hers—“ and I would not have him
suspect. If he knew that his wife was in
volved to the extent she is, the knowledge
would drive him mad. He is so sincere
and straightforward himself that he is
shocked by the duplicity of others. He
does not know a thing about any debts,
and I value his happiness, not to speak of
ray own, too much to allow him to know
anything. This is what troubles me so
much. If he is re-elected I can keep him
in ignorauce of my affairs; but if he is de
feated then the bills will be sent in, and he
will know alland something like a hys
terical sob escaped her.
Mrs. Lincoln sometimes feared that the
politicians would get hold of the particu
lars of her debts, and use them in the Pres
idential campaign against her husband,
and when the thought occurred to her she
was almost crazy with anxiety and fear.
When in one of these excited moods she
would fiercely exclaim:
“The Republican politicians must pay
my debts. Hundreds of them are getting
immensely rich off the patronage "of my
husband, and it 4s but fair that .they should
help me out of my embarrassment. I will
make a demand of them, and when I tell,
them the facts they cannot refuse to ad
vance whatever money I require.”
A piquant chapter is that upon the exhi
bition and sale of the wardrobe. AU the
correspondence is given in full, and the
whole disgraceful affair is paraded at
length.

Annual Meeting op the Stockholders
op the Charlotte and South Carolina

day, says :
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
this company was held yesterday at Nicker
son’s Hotel. The meeting was organized by
the election of Hon. James Hemphill, of Ches
ter, as Chairman, Messrs. John Y. Bryce and
Charles 11. Manson, as Secretaries. A quorum
of stock being represented, business was pro
ceeded with. The President, Hon. William
Johnson, submitted his report, accompanied
by those of the Superintendent and Treasurer,
and the committee to whom the same was re
ferred, reported that they had examined the
same, and find the condition of the company
to be fully as favorable as could be expected in
the general depressed condition of the country.
They believe that the completion, this year, of
the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, will, with
other causes, add greatly to the prosperity of
this company.
President Johnson being called upon, gave a
detailed statement of the progress ot the work
on the Columbia and Augusta. Railroad, and of
its financial condition and prospects; adding
that they were brighter than ever.
An election for a Board of Directors for the
ensuing year was held, and resulted in the
unanimous choice of the following: William
