THK OLO MAS IS DECKMBKIt.
They call ire obi, they do not know
Tae thrill my heart leceives,
VVhon I bear the chiMren’a bounding feet
Go tbr< utrh tin* rustling leaves.
Tho oquh'l.-: of Lappy laughter fill
Ia music on my ea;;
Anl my spirit k< * pe the cadence while
The gray head turns to hear.
Th?y mark, at times, a trembling tear,
And say I’m worn and o!d
They do not knew the healthful cheer
That keeps me blithe and bold.
Ihe tottering limbs may faint and fail—
scattering brim be gray ;
But I f. ; e! my mother’s parting kies
l)u my lips grow warm to-day !
1 heather breathe a burning prayer
For the toy that climbs hes knee ;
While the almond spreads its snowy star
O’er the halls of memory.
Tis a star cl hope ; it leads me on,
And Faith her radiance gives,
To light me through the narrow way
To where my mother lives.
Whet though her grave be wide and deep,
O’er lands and seas away ;
I know she’s bending down from Heaven
To cheer my heart to-day.
Oh ! I’m not Rad, though old and gray,
Ar.d worn with many a care ;
My soul ia warm in Christian love,
And strong in answered praytr.
In every bright, and glorions thing
That God has made, I joy ;
I love the earth and Heaven above,
As I did when a little boy.
THE FALLEN LEAVES.
We stand among the fallen leaves,
Young children at our play,
And laugh to sec the yellow things
Go rustling on their way :
Right merrily we hunt them down,
The autumn wind* and we,
Nor pause to gazu-vhcrc snow-drills lie,
Or sunbeams gild the tree :
With dancing (eet we leap along
Where withered houghs are strown ;
Nor past nor future checks our song—
The present is our own.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In youth’s enchanted spring—
When hope (who wearies at the last)
First spreads her eagle wing;
We tread witli steps of conscious strength
Beneath the leafless trees,
And the color kindles in our cheek
As blows the winter breeze.;
While, gazing towards the cold gray sky
Clouded with snow and rain,
We wish the old year all past by,
And tho young spring come again.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In manhood’s haughty prime—
When first our pausing hearts begin
To love “the, olden time
And, as we gaze, we sigh to think
How many a year hath passed
Since ’neath those cold and laded trees
Our footsteps wandered last;
And old Companions—now perchance
Estranged, forgot, or dead—
Come round us, as those autumn leaves
Are crushed beneath our tread.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In our own autumn day—
And, tottering on with feeble steps,
Pursue our cheerless way.
We look not back—too long ago
Hath all we loved been lost;
Nor forward—lor we may not live
To see our new hope crossed:
But on we go—the sun’s faint beam
A feeb’e warmth imparts—
Childhood without its joy returns —
The present fills our hearts!

Ths Treasury Department and hie Test
Oath. —The following is the letter of the Secre
tary of the Treasury, communicating, in compli
ance' with a resolution of the 13th ultimo, in
formation in relation to persons in the employ of
that Department who have not taken the oath
prescribed by law, and to persons appointed to
office not authorized by law :
In reply, I have to say that the records of this
Department do not show that persons have
been appointed to any cilice not authorized by
Bume existing law; but they do show that some
persons have been, in the recently insurgent
Slates, appointed officers under the customs and
internal revenue laws, and are still holding their
offices without having taken and subscribed tho
oath referred to in the resolution of the Senate ;
bill, with a single exception, no salaries have
been paid to them up to the present date.
The accompanying reports from tho (Jommis
s'oneis ol Customs anti of Internal Revenue ex
hibit the nanu sos such persens and the lorm of
oath prescribed for each, together with such ex
planations as will give to the Senate the neces
sary information upon the subject.
Upon the surrender of the Confederate armies,
it was regarded by the President and his Cabinet
as a matter of great importance that revenue
offices should be established in the Southern
States, in order that commerce and trade might
be resumed, und the authority of the Govern
ment in one of its most important branches
should be again recognized in all parts of the
Union with as little delay as practicable. It was
also regarded ns a matter ot scarcely less impor
tance that citizens of the respective States in
which offices were located, nnd not strangers,
should be appointed revenue officers. In carry
n ; into effect these views it became necessary
tu call into requisition the services of some
Southern men who had participated in the re
bellion. IS one, however, have been appointed
to office, or permitted to hold office under the
law for the collection of the revenues, who are
known to have instigated the rebellion, or who
could properly be considered as justly responsi
ble for it.
It has been my purpose to recommend the ap
p lintment, and to sanction the appointment,
ot such only as could take the oath literahy;
and tailing to be able to find such persons, to
confine appointments to those who gave no aid
o the rebellion until the Government of the
United States had failed to give them the pro
tection to which they were entitled ; and there
was no other kind of government but rebel gov
ernment (State and Confederate) to which they
could look to for safety or support in the peril
ous circumstances in which, without any pre
vious action el their own, they had been forced.
It is believed that very few persons not belong
ing to one or the other of these classes are hold
ing positions under this department.
In most of the Southern States nearly every
man of th? character and intelligence necessary
to qualify him for a position as a revenue officer,
some time during the war, either engaged in
hostilities against the Gov, rnment of the United
States; or willingly or unwillingly held office
snder rebel authority. Hence it has been neces
sary, as before stated, to employ in a few impor
tant but not very remunerative positions, in most
of the subordinate ones, men of this class, es
pecially as the salary and emoluments of the
offices were generally too small to induce North
ern men to accept them. Even it the offices
were desirable to any but residents, 1 have not
supposed that ii would be the policy of Congress
to subject the people of the Boutb to the hu
miliation, or the revenue cystem to the odium,
which would he the result of employing North
ern men to collect Federal taxes in the South
ern States ; and 1 have not doubted that Con
green will so modify the oath that this Depart
h tit would be sustained in employing in the
collecting . f revenues those who, circumstances
w hich they could not control, had been forced
into the r. beliion, but o! whose present loyalty
there is no question.
It wuld therefore respectfully suggest, in view
of the acts thus presented, that immediate ac
tion by Congress is absolutely necessary.
The accounts of officers who have not taken
tha qualifying c-ath have not been audited, and
valual 1« services are being rendered by them,
tor which they are receiving no compensation.
Tery great inconvenience is already expeii
enccd, and grhvous complainti are being made
by some cf our best officers, on account of the
nonpayment of the subordinate*; and deem it
to he their duty to say that without a modifica
tion of the oath, the revenue system cannot be
safely or properly administered in many dL-tricis
of the Southern States.

Secretary of the Treasury.

Noisy Boys —The editor of the Cleveland
Herald, who was probably himself a “good boy,
takes up the cudgel in defence of noisy boys,
as follows:
Noise is a safety valve, physically and mor
ally. Noisy boys seldom aro the bad boys of
a village; the quiet demure, reticent, still bovs,
are those who sneak around dark corners, and
slip into the back rooms of the village nuisance
—the grocery; who rob melon patches, lift gates
off the hinges, shave horses’ tails, and on moons
light nights trip good peopje up by a rope
placed across the walk. A noisy boy, usually,
is a trank boy, overflowing with animal spirits,
ready to hop skip-and-jump, play "gould,” tag
snap-the-whip or leap frog. But such a boy
is not dogging in and out of bank alleys; such a
boy does not creep out of his. chamber window
to the kitchen roof thence to tho ground for a
nightexpedition, after the rest of the family are
asleep.
Noise is not “good” for headaches, noise
disturbs weak nerves, but noise steals nothing,
noise sets no barns on lire, noise never gambles;
therefore we say, it h >ys do nothing worse than
make a noise, for humanity’s sake do not con
fine them for that.
Native Silk Worms. —At the recent exs
hibition of the Mechanic Association, Mr.
Trouvelot, of Medford, Mass., exhibited a box
containing cocoons and silk, the product of a
native silk worm found by Mr. Trouvelot in
the wtfotls some years ago. Mr. Trouvelot
commenced his experiments with a pair of
worms in-doors, and continued for four years
propagating until he had a large st. ck on hand;
and two years since commenced progagating
in the open air and was perfectly successful.
The worms ate perfectly hardy, living and
propagating in the open air and feeding on the
leaves of trees in our forests, such as oaks,
walnuts, birch, chestnut, and willow The
silk in the box is reeled from the cocoons by
Mr. TANARUS., and in its natural state. This is a
valuable discovery on account of the worms
being so hardy, requiring so little care and so
easily propagated, ami finding their food on trees
which grow spontaneously all over the conti
nent.
Statists cs, M. E Church, (North )—The
General Minutes of this Cburch, according to
the Advocate & Journal for the past year, give
the number of members 929,250—being an in
crease during the year of 939 nu mbers. The
number of deaths reporte j is 13,116; of bap
tisms, 39,150, adults, and, 32,891 children; of
traveling preachers, there are 6 014 effective,
294 supernumeraiy, and 867 superannuated,
making a total of 7,175, which is an increase
of 354. The local preachers number 8 493,
an increase of 288. The report of Church
propierty, we think, must be defective some
where. The Minutes for 1864 reported an in
crease ot 585 churches during that year. For
1865, thu number reported is 10.041, an ad
vance of only 26, which is very tar below the
fact. The piarsoDages number 3,1-18 an increase
of 194. The total value of this church prop
erty is estimated at $31,147,233. which is
$4,263,157 more than last year. Os this in
cease $2,685,992 is set down the additional
value of churches, which would indicate a
much greater addition to their number '.lran is
reported. The benevolent contributions shew
a large advance in every department, in the
aggregate considerably moie than cr.e-fith,—
For conference claimants wa« ra-sed $93,1-19;
for the Missionary Society. $602,064; for Sun
day School Union, $19,098; 'or Tiaot Society,
$22,322; for American Bible Society. $101,743
Iu the Sunday School department there is an
increase of 795 schools, 5,224 office:s and
teachers and 72,024 scholars, but a falling c ff
in the number of volumes in the libraries.

which for its magnitude has astounded the
country au l the world. The meaning of the
word petroleum '3 rock oil. The quantity us
this useful article of commeice exceeds aii be- ,

barrels a day, others sdll higher and one has
for seme time afforded daily 3,000 barrels of
oil! Ihe multifarious uses to which this oil is
r ppiied forbid the supposition that the markets
o; the world will ever bo glutted by its abun
dance.
Evidences of petroleum in tha Northwest sec

attracting capital from all parts of the country.

ginous fluid are very strikirg io the eye oi the

geological strata of Nothern Alabama and
Northwest Georgia—the formations of slate,
san istone and shade—the discovery of oil in
many localities, floating on the surtace of stag
nant pools and streams of water —all tend to
confirm the belief that these sections are rich
iu this newly discoverd source of immense
wealth ; and the fact that petroleum has been
recently tound in K ntucky and Tennessee in
quantities that promise to surpass even the
famous wells cf Vanando county, Penn., is
another strong indication that this valuable
material exists throughout the entire chain of
the Cumberland mountains, from Pennsylvania
to the Mississippi river. Iu all sections of

Burning cf the Steamer Jas. Christopher
Capt. Fraz’ef of the steamer Union, from
Augusta, which arrived here yesterday morn
ing, furnishes us with the following facts in
regard to the loss of the steamer James Chris
topher, which took fire about seven o’clock
Satuiday morning last at Bennett’s Point. The
Christopher had been sent from Savannah to
reloive the steamer R. H. May of her cargo,
(the machinejy of the latter having became
disabled,) consisting of about 218 bales of cot
ton, and 21 bales of Domestic, having the en
tire cargo less 60 bales aboad the May at the
time of the duaster.
Capta'n Moody and Mate Daniels of the
James Christopher arrived per steamer Union.
The Jas. Christopher was burnt to the water’s
edge iu less than two hours after tho flames
were discovered ; nothing was saved, not even
the baggage of hereffieers
Tho efforts to extinguish the flames on board
the Christopher were fruitless, and baffled hu
man skill. Ihe steamer Volunteer, en route
from Augusta, reached the Jas. Cnristophei
soon after she had taken fire and was fiercely
burning, and assisted in scuttling her about
one mile below where she took fire.
The fire originated in the main deck—some
where about the boiler, and was first discover
ed about thirty minutes after the Ja=. Christo
pher had left the steamer May. Her boiler
and engines will doubtless be saved. The
Union, Volunteer and Falcon respectively
bringing the crew of the Jas. Christopher here.
The river for eight or ten miles below the
burning wreck ptesenred a grand and pictures
que appearance, hundreds fff balea of burnir g
eetten and pieces of cotton floating on the sur
face, coming iu close contact and endanger
ing the various steamers as they descended and
ascended the river.
Wu ure saved the melancholy duty of re
cording any loss of life on board the James
Christopher, tho boat, fortunately, having no
passengers on board, while the officers and
crew succeeded in making good their escape.
W> are not informed whether the boat or car
go were insured.
Tho Purser of the steamer Falcon reports
that when the Falcon had reached the James
Christopher, the latter was under water, noth -
ing but her walking beam bsing in sight. As
the Falcon was approaching Purysbutg, two

Tiie English Turf. — Ten Broeck on English
turf has been undoubtedly succeisful. The
winnings of three men on the English turf this
year, in stakes alone, amount to about forty
thousand pounds sterling. How much their
bets comp to we have not the means cf deter
mining but a couple of hundred thousand dol
lays in gold is pretty weil for three stab’es to
win in public money The greatest winner
this is Count de Lagrange, who had ten
wins,' placmg nearly twenty thousand pounds
to bis credit. Much the largest portion of this
was earned by Glad'ateur, and the Count’s
winning ballacce would be but small if the
Guinea, the Derby, and St. Ledger were sub
tracted from it. Next npon the list comes the
Duke of Beaufort the head of the Somersets,
one of the great sporting families of the Mid
land counties. The Duke had ten wins this
year, and the amount of stakes they seemed,
was above sixteen thousand pounds.
Lord Stamford is the third of the two we
have mentioned. He had thirteen wins, and
they secured very nearly twelve thousand
pounds. The extent of his racing stud, one of
the largest in England, is, however, to be
looked at. The sixth name in the list is that
of Mi. Tec Broeck, whose number of winnings
wsstWiDiy two, and the amount above six
thousand pounds. It appears from this that
though the American stable has won no great
race during the year, it has been quite indus
trious and successful in harvesting moderate
ones. The list containe the names of above
five hundred owners of race horses who won
something in England in the course of the sea
son, and to be sixth in this is certainly a dis
tinguished place for Mr. Ten Broeck. On ! y
the Count de Lagrange, the Duke of Beaufort,
Lord Stamford, Mr. Merry and Mr. Sutton, are
ahead of him. Lord Portsmouth, the Marquis
ol H. stiu, s, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Glas
gow, Sir Joseph Hawley, Baron Rothschild,
Lord St. Vincent, Captain Mschiel, and many
other renowed tuifmen come after tho Ameri
can owner.
An Extraordinary SuHQicit Operation.—
One of the most extraordinary surgical opera
tions that has ever been periormed in this, or
any other country, was rsc-ently successfully
accomplished in Toronto, Canada. Tbe case
sas that c-f a young woman who had been af
fected with an ulcerated heel lor seven years.
The surgeon proceeded to cut away all the
diseased portion of tbe heel, completely re
moving the ulcer, and indeed advancing some
distance into Ihe healthy part of the flash, the
better to avoid leaving any s' eds of the disease
remaining. The foot was then iirrhtly tied up
to tha hip, r. and large piece cf flesh partially
removed from the hip and laid into the cavity
of the heel, and the flesh one side, or more
properly, sewed to the lip ot tbe cavity,
pha opposite part of course it left still adhering
to th« hip, in order that circulation might be
preserved. The foot was kept in this position
a week, by which t’cr.e tbe of the tip had
commenced adhering to that of the foot. The
latter was then cue down from the hip, and
strange though ii may appear, has resulted in
a complete cure from this extraordinary sur
gical operation.

An Opinion from Assessor Bowles —The Sec
retary of the Treasury has submitted to Con
gress the annexed opinion of Mr. BowTes, the
U. S. Assessor of this district, in regard to the
officers taking the test oath :
Assessor's Office U. S. Internal )
Revenue, 3d Dist of Ga.. >-
Augusta, Doc. 20, 1865. )
Sits ; lam constrained to write you in re
lation to the repeal or modification of the test
oath so far as it relates to internal revenue of
ficers Or at least assessors in Southern States.
I have labored assidiously to find competent
men who could take the oath necessary for as
setsors. I failed to find any such except in a
s.nglo town in my district, comprising twenty
three of the most populous counties in tho
State.
I have Organized my district by allowing my
assistants to take the oath of office and alle
giance ami proceed to tho discharge of their
duties, trusting to Congress so provide for
their payment as directed by the Commission
er of lutcina! Revenue. Many of the men are
much reduced in circumstances by war, and
stand rn imperative need of their pay in order
to prcvido :or their families; and, indeed, some
of them will be compelled soon to resign their
places in order to engage in some business
that will yield them ready money on which to
live. I am s.tisfied that unless some
thing is done in this matter immediate 1 ; 1 J
I shall be unable to assess tax in my distrii i.
if Congress does not modify the oath an far uu
it rotates to affairs of the Internal Revenue
and the Post office Department down here. I
am sure it would be regarded everywhere as a
patriotic measure, in which both the North ar.d
South are equally interested. lam at a loss
to know what to do.
Respectfully, j Bowles
Assessor of Third District of Ua
Hon. Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the Treas
my.
If the Government desires to get offices in
the South filled with* men most competent to
perform the duties thereof, the test oath must
not be required of those who fill them.
Loss of the Steamer Asher Ayres —The
Savannah Republican gives the annexed fur
ther particulate of tho loS3 of the Steamer
Asher Ayres on the Altamaha river :
As soon as, if was discovered that there was
no hopes of saving the steamer, the passen
gers busied themselves in throwing over board
bales oi cotton, and then jumping into the
river after them. Ia this way a great many
lives were saved that would otherwise have
neon lost.
At tho point where tho steamer took fire the
river is very wide, and is surrounded on both
sides by swampy lands, rendering it exceed
ingly dangerous and d’fficult to land. So rapid
was the spread of the 11 mes that not one of
the sixty paesengeis succeeded in saving any
of their personal t fleets, all deeming them
selves fortunate in escaping with their lives.
It is stated that the only boat on board was
seized by the crew, who made good their es
cape, and that while the firo was in progress
the wretches tcok advantage of the general
din and tumult to break open and rffia She
trunks of the passengers, in many instances
securing thousands of dollars from carpet
bags and valises which were abandoned by
their owners temporarily while seeking an
opportunity to escape the flames.
Ten or twelve persons perished, two colored
men, deck hands, being burnt to death, while
eight or ten others are supposed to have been
drowned while attempting to swim ashore.
The Ayres had twenty cabin and forty deck
passengers, who lost alt their baggage, &c.
Wareh use REoeipra.— lt bas been customa
ry to place stamps on storage receipts, revok
ing twenty cents on the value for the first one
thousand dollars, and ten cent3 for every ad
ditional thousand. Ia this way, a single wate
house receipt has someJimes contained ten or
twelve dollars worth of stamps. The Com
missioner now decides that in all such cases,
twenty-five cents was enough. Tbe following
is his official letter ;
Sir : When the value of tho property or
goods deposited or stored does not exceed five
hundred dollars, is subject to a stamp duty of
ten cents; exceeding in value five hundred dol
lars, and not exceeding one thousand dollars,
twenty cents. When the value of their pro
pety stored exceeds in value one thousand
dollars a stamp duty of twenty five cents is re
quired, which is tho highest chargeable upon
any warehouse receipt.
Hon. A. H. Stephens. — lhe Louisville Jour
nal recently in referring to this noble Georgian
and popular statesman, says :
“Mr. Stephens is one of nature’s noblest m»r;
and from our heart cf hearts we believe that
every throb of his soul is in favor of the Union,
of his country, and cf bis whoio country.
“Mr. Stephens ought to ba in the Senate of
the United States.” Let Congress repeal the
test oath and receive into it? body again, with
acclamations, tbe great and good Georgian,
one of the noblest Romans of this or any other
country. Oh, we do abhor that narrow spirit
and that short-sighted policy that keeps from
the councils of the Republic such a man as A.
H. Stephens.”
