TUE CHILDREN.
ET CIUELESM. DICKJSSO.W
V\ hen the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
The little ones gather around me
To bid me “good night” and be kissed,
Oh! the little white arms that encircle
My neck in their tender embrace :
Oh! the striles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.
And when they are gone, I sit dreaming
Os my childhood —too lovely to last—
Os joy that my heart will remember
While it wakes to the pulse of the past;
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner of Sorrow and Sin,
When the glory of (iod was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
My heart grows as weak as a woman’s,
And the fount of feelings will flow,
When 1 think of the paths, steep and stony,
Where the feet ol the dear ones must go.
Ol the mountains of Win hanging o’er them,
Os the tempest of Fate blowing wild,
Oh! there’s nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of a child !
They are idols of hearts and of households,
They are angels ol Ood in disguise ;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still gleams in their eyes.
Oh! those truants from home and lrom heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild,
And I know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of Ood to a child.
I ask not a life for the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done ;
Hut that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
I would pray Ood to guard them from evil,
Hut my prayer would bound back to myself;
Ah! a seraph may pray for a sinner,
Hut a sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily bended,
I huve banished the rule and the rod ;
I have taught them the goodness of knowledge—
They have taught me the goodness of Ood.
My heart is the dungeon of daikness
Where I shut them for breaking a rule ;
My frown is sufficient correction,
My love is the law of the school.
1 shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold no more ;
Ah! how I shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door;
1 shall miss the "Good nights,” and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee;
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning for me.
1 shall miss them at morn and at even—
Their song in the school and the street;
1 shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the trarn|> of their delicate feet.
When the lessons of Life are all ended,
And Death says : “The school is dismissed !”
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me good be kissed.
MODIFICATION OF THE TEST OATH.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Times, of the 7tb, contains a summary ol the
Tresideut’u views on the test oath, as devel
oped In a late communication to Congress on
that subject. He transmitted, at tdo same
time, communications from the Secretary of
the Treasury ana the i’ostmaster General, who
reoommend a modification of the oath of office
prescribed by act of Congress, approved July
2d, 1862.
Mr. Johnson fully concurs In the recom
mendations, and as the subject pertains to the
cllicient administration of the revenue and post
al laws In the Southern Statep, he earnestly
commends It to the early consideration of Con
gress.
The letter of the Secretary of tho Treasury
confirms the names of Collectors of Internal
Revenue, Assessors, Assistant Assessors, Col
lectors and Surveyors of Customs, &c., ap
pointed stnoe tho close of tho war in the South
ern States, who have not been able to take
literally the oath of office prescribed by the act
approved July 2, 1862. Besides these officers,
a considerable number, perhaps the larger
portion of those holding subordinate positions
In the Revenue Departments, have been also
unable to comply with tho requirements of the
sta'ute. Asa consequence, they have served
without compensation, as their accoonts could
not be audited by tho accounting officers of
tho Government.
Many oi these cilioors have performed very
Important duties with fidelity, and not a few
must .bo In great distress by reason of their in
abilities. When the apportions were made it
was found that it would be difficult to find
competent eftioere in many of the Southern
Revenue Districts who could take the oath re
ferred to, hut so Important did it seem to the
President and the Cabinet, lor the purpose ot
equalizing the public burdens, that the reve
nue system should be established throughout
the Southern States with as little delay as prac
ticable, and that the unpleasant duty of ool
looting taxes from an exhausted and lately re
bellious people should bo performed by her
own citizens ; that the Secretary of the Treasu
ry did not hesitate to recommend for appoint,
ment, and to appoint men of whose present
loyalty thoru was no question, but who might
have been, cither willingly or unwilliugly,
during the war, so oounected with the Insur
gent States and Confederate Government as to
bo unable to take the oath of office. This was
not doue from any disposition to disregard
the law, but with un honest and siuoere pur
pose ol collecting the revenues with as little
trouble to the tax-payers as possible. The
country was in a peculiar condition : the
war had come to a sudden close ; all resistance
to the authority ot the United States had
ceased, and seme seven millions of people, in
a state of utter disorganization were left with
out any civil government whatever, and with
out even an adequate military protection
against anarchy and violence. Under these
circumstances, as It showed charity to be the
duty of the Executive to prooeed at once to
establish the Federal authority and civil gov
ernment in these States, so it seemed to be
necessary to carry into effect the Revenue
laws ol the General Government. As the
country was passing from a state of war to a
state of peace, and the emergency seemed to
be too pressing to admit of delay until the
meeting of Congress, it was thought that the
test oath might, in view of the great objects
to be attained, in jome cases be dispensed with
or rather that persons might be permitted to
hold revenue offices who conld take it only in
a qua!mod torm. No one oould have regret
ted more than the President and the members
of the tab.mt the necessity which existed for
this course, but there seemed to be no alter
native, and it was confidently hoped that un
der the Circumstances of the case It would be
approved by Congress. Among those whose
names are presented to the PrSmt the
becietary has no reason to believe that there
s one who can justly be charged with beinc
Instrumental m Instigating the war, although
a lew may have contributed to Its support
and countenance. Some with stromr attLi,
ments for the Union had followed the “tan
in which they lived into the war aaaln-f .h!
United States, under the baTefa? i“fi
of the doctrine cf State Sovereignty s o m!
had held office under the insurgent authorities
as the only means ol supporting their families
Others, to escape conscription, or to be in a
better condition to resist, at the pro Der
time Confederate rule. Not one is known to
have been a disunions, or unfriendly to the
Government at the commencement of
Avery slight change in the oath, a change
that would not, oould not cover a particle of
present disloyalty, would enable the most cf
them to hold the offices they are now so ac
ceptably filling. Great loss to the Government
and great inconvenience to the Department
mu3t result from the discontinuance of their
services. After slating reasons at large why
the oath should lx* modified, the Secretary say* l
the war grew out of antasonism of opinion be
tween the people of the Free ana Slave States
the legitimate result of a difference of
lions. With the abolition of Slavery all real
difference of opiaioD, and all serious causes ol
estrangement ought rapidly to disappear. It
will fie a calamity, the extent of which cannot
now bo estimated, both to this nation and to
the cau.e of civil liberty throughout the world
if Instead of looking to reconciliation and har
niony, the action c.f the Government shall
tend to harden and Intensify a eecticnalisEi be
tween the Northern and Southern States. It
is difficult to conceive ot a more unfortunate
course for the Government of the United States
to pursue than to make tax gatherers at the
South of men who are strangers to tbe people.
It needs no refer uce to history, although it is
lull of iesssons upon this subject, to illustrate
the fatal consequences of such a policy. Ap
pended to this Litter o? the Secretary of the
treasury are Ihe names of 49 persons acting
as Assessors and Collectors in the Southern
State- who have not taken the oath of office
without qualification. It is added that there
are undoubtedly others whose names have not
been received. It appears from a letter of the
Commissioner of Customs that the lollowing
named persons are the only customs officers
who have taken the oath in a modified lorn:
James M. Mathews, Collector, Rappahannock,
Va.; William 8. Craft, Collector, Georgetown,
S. Carolina; Gordon l orbes, Surveyor, Yecomo,
Va ; Wm. Leitctr, Surveyor, Charleston, S. C.;
F. II R binson, Special Examiner of drugs,
and Edgar 11. Lazarus and J . F. Walker, Ap
praisers, Charleston, S. C.
The Postmaster-General, in Lis communica
tion, says as a means of rtstoring the business
interests in the Southern States, and of aiding
In the re-establishment of their constitutional
relations with the Government, it was deemed
important by the President and Cabinet that
i he mails should bo introduced and Post-offices
be reopened in those States as rapidly as pos
sible ; to which end the energies of the depart
ment were promptly and have been continu
ously directed. Various causes have doubtless
contributed to the failure in accomplishing all
that was hoped for ; but that resulting from
the oath prescribed by acts of July 2, 1862,
and March 3, 1863 fits not been the least,
while it has been the ono to which my atten
tion has been most fr< quently called. This, as
he is inclined to believe, has not been owing
exclusivly to there not being loyal persons
who could take the oath, but to the limited
compensation, most of the offices offering in
sufficient inducements to persons to act as
Postmasters ; and to the unwillingness of
many, who might otherwise act, to do so, on
account of (he Inconvenience and compromise
of their positions which they ft-ar would re
sult from hiking the oath when the majority
of their neighbors consist of those who had in
some form aided the rebellion. To obviate
theßo and fficuities in part, recourse has been had
to the appointment of women as Postmistresses,
which has proved to boos doubtful utility to
the service. And necessity has also compelled
the appointment of very many Ignorant per
sons incompetent to discharge tho duties of
the offices. Asa remedy for the futuro the
Postmaster Gtneral'suggest a mod fleation of the
oath by inserting the word “voluntary” Imme
diately proceeding tho word sought, so that the
clause would read : “ That I have neither vol
untarily sought nor accepted, nor attempted to
exercise the functions of any office whatever,
under any authority or pretended authority in
hostility to the United States ” This would
enlarge the class of persons who could qualify
as postmaßteis and mail contractors, and be in
harmony, it seems to him, with the general
provisions and purposes of the oath, and thus
fuoilitate the rc-establshment of tho postal ser
vice to the common benefit of all the sections
of the country, for it must bo borne in mind
that while the people of the Southern States
are more deeply interested in the restoration,
othor States are also largely interested. It may
be, he says, Interesting to know that of the
2, 258 mail routes in operation in the disloyal
States, at the breaking out of tho war, the ser
vice of 757 only has been restored ; and that
of 8,902 postolfices in those States, only 2,042
appointments of postmasters have been made,
of whom 1,177 only have qualified for office,
747 of them being males and 420 females. Os
the 805 who have not qualified, it is believed
that quite ail of them have not done so be
cause of the oath.
The Postmaster General adds ;
In Justice to the Department, in view of the
inefficient service as shown by the foregoing
facts, no propositions for transportation of the
mails for a fair consideration have been de
clined, while Postmasters have been uniformly
and promptly appointed upon reliable recom
mendations. The Postmaster concludes by
saying he need not enlarge upon evils resulting
from so partial a restoration of tho postal ser
vice in the Southern States, nor upon the bene
fits to the Government and the people of all
sections of the oountry that would result from
a more general and efficient restoration of that
service These papers have been referred to
he Committee on the Judiciary.

THE EVACUATION OF PETERSBURG.
There is not much treed to dwell upon the
scenes ot which tlrete bright, quiet days are
anniversaries. No one has forgotten jet; still
some notice may be expected.
At daybreak on the morning of the first of
April, 1805, the cannonading which, along the
lines on the Immediate fiont of the city, had
been continuous an 1 severe, extended along
the whole line with redoubled fierceness,
until, J.y sunrise, from the Appomatox to Five
Forks, there was scarcely fifty yards of ground
along the entrench men is but had its blaSk
mou'hed piece belching forth angry smoke and
lending the reverberations of its fearful thun
der to the maddening tumult
Early In the morning the rattle of musketry
begin on the r : ght, and soon an unceasing roar
told that the battle was in earnest, and that
the spring campaign bad begun. Gen. Grant's
forces (two corps of Infantry and tho cavalry
under Sheridan) advanced in solid lines upon
the entrenchments held by Pickett and Bush
rod Johnson’s divisions, under command of
Lieut. Gcntral li. H. Anderson, and, after
several gallant but ineffectual feint attacks, a
movement in column waa made' by Sheridan,
to foice a passage between ihe left dank of the
Confederate infantry and Fitx Leo’s feeble
cavalry force continuing that line. By some
error a gap had teen Lit, which Sheridan
struck, and his troopers poured through.
Pi easing hick towards the rear of Lee's
cavalry, they swung to the left upon the rear
of Pickett’s lines, uad ere long a wild cheer
rung from the troopers in rear to the troopers
in front, and long lines of empty trenches,
roads strewn with abandoned guns, and fields
dotted with huirying beaten men, showed that
the work was done, that Lee’s right had teen
crushed. But this had not been done at once;
night followed speedily upon its accomplish
ment, and the rumors of disaster which reach
ed Peterrburg from the battle field, though
gloomy enough, wore not explicit of the total
overthrow of our forces, and slumber in our
city was as assured of safety that night as ever.
No one knew what real ruin had come.
Night brought with it no quiet, but instead
the streaming fuses and bursting shells of a
new bombardment. Morning cams, as bright
and smiling as any day ot any spring-time.—
With light came sounds of conflict, which grew
louder and more frightful. Did they not draw
nearer? It sounded so. And soon strange ru
mors filled the streets. The church bells rang
out their first call to prayer, bat no one heeded
the summons. The clear sweet tones fell up
on the agony of hearts that listened, as bird
notos sound to those who mourn the dead
Men gathered in groups around the corners,
and looked, with straining eyes, to
wards the clouds ol battle smoke -hat hung
around the town—stood silently, and listened
to the dull reports of heavy ordinance, and tho
sharp rattle ot musketry, upon which their fate
bung trembling.
Men grew white In the agony of suspense,
and women wept.
The old town clock struck eight—the break
fast hour—but the scanty meals remained
untasted. Tho houses were deserted, and
eager questioners crowded around the men,
who came in with, haggard faces and wild
eyes.
What is It ?
And one answered, “They have taken the
River Saiient.”
And another, “Pickett and Johnson were ov
erwhelmed yesterday, their line broken,
and their commands baaten and crushed—cut
off from the army, and forced up the country.”
And another, “Gibbon’s Corps struck Wil
cox’s front at day this fmorning, piercing his
line ; the troops to the right were captured,
those to the left forced back. The enemy
have reached the ra'lroal and tho liver, and
our line is at the stone bridge.”
And just then a cry of “look” was heard,
and turning, we saw from the warehouses,
where, by order of the military authorities,
had been stored all the tobacco In tho city,
columns of black, thick smoke go up above a
mass of lurid flames. “’Tie so,” wa3 the
speech of every white cheek and streaming
eye* Few words told how like a whirlwind
of wrath came to the thousand hearts the
death of the hopes of years. The groups dis
persed and sought their homas. Agonizing
suspense had become certainty, and they oculd
weep now.
Any attempt to tell of that day, with Its
houra of dull, dead hopelessness, its moments ol
wild hope, its feelings of utter wretchedness,
of tho end of all things to be desired. God
spare us such another experience.
Now and then would fly from house to house
some good report, “We are pressing them
back—Gen Lee has re-established his lines,”
&c., aud for a while the feverish wish would
be parent to belief. About eleven o’clock the
Confederates did recapture the lines at Rives’,
and a ray of real light came iu upon tho anx
ious souls. But the real danger was not there.
On the right the work went resistlessiy on.
Fort Gregg fell, despite tho moat heroic de
fence of the war, the Union line advanced
from Cogbill’s to Turnbull’s, from TurriWll’s
to Woodworth’s, and there, in a stone's throw of
the corporation limits, marshalled their enthu
siastic masses.
At last Loagstreet C3tne. A strengthened
line was formed, and at four o'clock the dis
patch from Gen. Leo to his ccmmahders across
the Appatomax and James was, “I can hold
out until night, and shall then withdraw.”
Its terms werenois»d abroad, and there was
no more of loubt or hope. The time passed in
silent preparation. The Federal officers seeing
the ineviffible result of their successes, wisely
and humanely forbore further assault, and the
comparative stillness was oppressive.
Dusk came, and with it began the evacua
tion. Noiselessly from the lines they had so
gallantly defended the Confederates withdrew,
and tho long, dark columns passed through
the streets unattached, unpursued. We were
spared tho horror of a fight through the
stroets, which had been feared. Now began
the wild farewells and long embraces with
which mothers seat forth their sons to unknown
fates, and perchance endless partings.
We draw the curtain ovef .them. The dark
ness fell, the silent march continued until the
old bridge at Pocahontas had re echoed to the
tread of the last Contederate soldier. A signal
gun said, "It is finished,” from right to left of
the empty trenches rang deafening explosions,
while burst of angry light shot up to the bend
ing sky.
The army held on Its track of retreat along
tho river bank, tho citizens awoke to their
changed condition, and tho long agony was
over Petersburg .Index.

GREAT FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.
St. Louis dispatches of the 7th to the Louis
ville Courier, give the annexed account of a
great fire in the former city :
Another destructive conflagration -among
steamboats occurred this A M., which re
sulted in the redaction of five elegant steam
ers to a3 many humiliated, charred and smok
ing hulls.
The fire broke out between 4 and 5 o'clock,
on the Nevada, lying at tho levee. When first
discovered it was burning on the starboard
side of the stern of that boat. Whence it came
or how it was kindled is at present unknown,
at there had been nothing legitimate going on
in that quarter to originate it. The most
general opinion is that it was kindled by an
incendiary.
The watchman on the Nevada was first to
discover the fire, and immediately gave the
alarm as quickly as he could; but it wa3 nearly
h3if an hour before the engines could arrive
on the spot and get to work.
In the meantime the flames swept through
the light frame-work of the doomed boat, gain
ing strength and fierceness ev*ry minute.—
They spread to the Frank Bates, lying along
side, just below the Nevada, and the Effie
Dean, tying next below the Frank Bates, and
to the Amazon and Fanny Ogden, lying just
above.
All these boats, except the Fanny Ogden,
were burned to the water’s edge.
The Fanny Ogden has the whole of the upper
works of her stern burned off, and also the
stern portion of her hull. She is almost an
entire wreck.
Just below the Effie Dean lay the steamers
L'zzie Gill and Ned Tracey, both loaded with
valuable cargoes, and both exposed to immi
nent peri! from the flames which were sweep
ing towards them.
The Henry L. Turner and the Nashville were
also In a similar situation, and tb6ir destruc
tion seemed inevitable ; but by the energy of
their officers, with the help of the crews of the
boats in the harbor, all wore dragged Into the
stream and escaped.
The Nevada was one of the best boats ar
rived here. She was from Pittsburg a few
days ago, and was loading for a return trip.
She had nothing on board but 500 burrols of
flro-clay and a small lot of household goods.
She was a stern-wheeler, and owned principal
ly by Capt. Kountz, of rittsbuig. She was
valued at $55,000, and Insured In Pittsburg
offices for $24,000. Her safe, Containing about
$250, belonging to the boat, and $l9O be
longing to the bar-keeper, was lost. The
money may be recovered from the wreck if the
safe has resisted the fire. The hull is still
afloat, and is being towed away from the levee
at the foot of Olive street.
The Frank Bates was anew side-wheel boat,
built expressly for the upper Missouri by the
Northwestern Fur Company, and was loading
for her first trip. She was to have left this
P. M, for Fort Beaton. Her cargo, which was
nearly all aboard, was a very valuable one,
being estimated at $200,000, on which there
was an insurance of $125,000 la offices in this
city—sßs,ooo in home offices and $40,000 in
New York agencies. The boat was valued at
$75,000 and insured In about two-thirds that
amount.
Tbe Effie Dean was a stern wheel boat, be
longing to John S. MoCiure and Joseph La
farge, valued at $30,000, and not insured, She
was also loading for the mountains, and had
about ono hundred tons of freight aboard,
valued at SIOO,OOO ; insured partly la home
offices and New York offices
The Amazon was a side.wheel boat, belong
ing to the Hannibal and Bt. Joe Railroad.
Bhe was loading for the Missouri river and had
fifty tons ot freight on board, worth about
$60,000; partly Insured. The boat was worth
$35,000; partly covered by insurance in Pitts
burg offices.
The Fanny Ogden was a side-wheel boat,
owned by Captain Q. Rowe, Captain John G,
Gopely and others. She was valued at SOO,OOO
and insured for $40,000, of which SIO,OOO was
in Cincinnati offices and the rest In St. Louis
offices. The boat is damaged to the extent of
three-fourths her value. She was loading for
the mountains, and had about sixty tons of
freight aboard and thirty tons -boat stores.
Her cargo was valued at SIO,OOO and her
stores at $17,000 ; insured in St. Louis, Cincin
nati and New York offices. Her oargo Is but
slightly injured, the damage being mainly from
water. Thero waß an insurance ot $2,000 on
her bar in the United States Insurance Com
pany. Her freight is now being removed and
tho water pumped out of her hold.
THE NEXJ x-RESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
OF THE SOUTH.
The annexed is from the Western correspon
dence of the Cincinnati Gazette. It publishes
a Radical surmise:
The very emphatic manner in which Mr.
Sewaid affirmed, a few evenings since, that
he originated the late published policy of
President Johnson, has Eet many men to
thinking here; and the fact that, coupled with
this statement, Mr. Seward made use of soma
very contemptuous expressions in speaking of
Mr. Johnson, added new complications to the
matter. This conversation was related to the
President, and although he was loth to believe
It, it excited his suspicions that his Secretary
was playing false with him—possibly using
him for purposes of his own. At any rate, Mr.
Seward, through hie friends, is now attempting
to deny the reports made in regard to his con
versation; but it can neither be denied, nor its
point blank statements explained away. The
purpose of proclaiming himself as the origi
nator of this plan, and his haste to deny hav
ing spoken contemptuously of the President,
will appear in a clearer light in connection
with some other matters, and especial attention
is asked for the faots which are now presented.
The following conversation occurred in De
mopolis, Alabama, in November last, which,
in view of the late events, assumes a deep
significance. The parties to this converse
tion were one of the prominent politicians of
tho South, who before tho war was a mem
ber of tho Cincinnati and Baltimore Demo
cratic Conventions, and during the war a staff
cfil.er high in position in the Confederate
army, and the other was a Union officer, well
known in the West, who had gone South to
purchase a plantation, and was at first mista
ken for a Southern man.
The conversation turned upon what course
the South would pursue since the failure of
their arms. The first named party stated that
the matter had been earnestly considered by
Southern politicians, end they had come to the
conclusion that the South must bend all her
energies to securing the next President ; that
they "must submit to any abuse or criminations,
and only perform suon acts as seemod abso
lutely necessary to satisfy the North. It bad
been decided that tbe South could not eieot a
Southern man, and that to make the success
fare, they must have a man who oould oarry
either Pennsylvania or New York; and they
had concluded that of these two States, New
York was the most available for their purpose,
and the most easily bought. If. theD, they
could find a man who could carry New York,
even when put forward as a Southern cadidate,
they were perfectly sure to succeed, and that
in case they did succeed in getting back into
power, they would soon settle their accounts
with the North. It was stated, further, that
they had fixed upon the man; that negotiations
had already been opened with him, and looked
very promising; and finally it came out that
Wm. H. Seward was the man. To the objec
tion that the author of the irrepressible conflict
and a life long anti-slavery man, could not
possibly receive the votes of the South, it was
replied that the South was a unit for any man
who could carry New York, and who would
give proper pledges beforehand.
Such, in brief, is the substance of a state
ment made in November last, and the names
of the parties and all the circumstances con
nected with the matter can be given if needed.
The facts have been in possession of eqe of our
most prominent Congressmen since the begin
ning of the session, but they made little im
pression until the late remarkable conduct of
M-. Seward called them to mini. The person
who heard this conversation, was so impressed
by the manner of the speaker, by his position,
and all the choum-dances connected with tbe
occasion, that he besought the Congressmen to
whom he related it, to keep a cioie watch on
Mr. Seward's actions, as he was thoroughly
c mvinced that the conversation was a correct
exposure of the plan upon which rebel politi
cians were then working.
Mr. Seward has stated privately, within a
short time, that he is to be the next President,
and he expects the support of the South,
A GOOD HIT.
The Boston Courier has the following ex
cellent hit at the ridiculous questions put by the
Reconstruction Committee to Gen. Robert E.
Lee, a few Jays since;—
We understand that Gen. R. E. Lee will be
summoned again before the Reconstruction
Committee, and the following questions will be
proposed to him:
Since the close of the war have the people of
\ irginia been inclined to modify their opinions
as to the comparative merits of James Otis and
Patrick Henry in setting the bail of the revolu
tion in motion!
Is not pitching quoits a favorite amusement in
\ irginia, and will the people of Virginia be ready
to give it up and take up the game of base ball
instead?
Will the people of Virginia be inclined to give
up the eating of bacon and greens and to sub>
stitute therefor the Yankee dishes of pork and
beans and codfish and potatoes?
Is there any prejudice in Virginia against
buckwheat cakes and popped corn as Yankee
dishes? And is that prejudice increasing or
decreasing?
In your judgment hive secession doctrines
been promoted in Virginia by the drinking ot
mintjnleps? And is there any prejudice there
against sherry cobblers as a Northern drink?
Is the Yankee institution of singing schools
likely to become naturalized in Virginia?
Do the people of Virginta read the writings of
R. W. Emerson! and if so do they understand
them!
Would a young man in Virginia be disinciinv
ed to marry a Yankee girl who was young,
good-looking, and a rich man’s daughter?
Is there any prejudice in Virginia against
Rhode Island coal as the product of a Northern
State?
Do you have Thanksgiving day in Virginia,
and is the shooting of turkeys practised on that
day? Would a Virginia marksman be unwill
ing to fire at a turkey on that day because it was
a Northern custom?
Is molasses candy ever made in Virginia, and
how is it likely to be in the future?
Do the people of Virginia overplay poker! and
and if so, would a Virginia secessionist lie will
ing to pay the money won of him at that game
by a Northern man!
What is the sentiment of Virginia as to the
Bloomer costume, and is it likely to be modified
in the future?
Do the people of Virginia regard Wendell
Phillips as the greatest American orator? and if
not, are they likely to come to that opinion here
after?
How many people in Virginia look upon Gen.
Butler as a great genius! answer the same ques
tion as to Gen. Banks.
Is the Diary ot Count Gurowski a popular
book in Virginia? and would it not be popular
if the people were loyal?
Is there a piece ot the pilgrim rock anywhere
in Virginia? and if there is not, would it not be a
judicious step to send a piece of it lo Richmond?
Have you yourself ever seen a chair that came
over in the Mayflower? and if not, would you
like to see one?
The question that follows you may answer or
not as you choose. Is Wirt’s Life of Patrick
Henry regarded in Virginia as an historical
work or a work of fiction?
Do you believe the story of Capt. Smith and
Pocahontas! or do you think it was made up by
Captain Smith many years after its supposed
date?
Do the colored race in Virginia generally
go in when it rains? and if not, why not?
Should the colored race addict themselves to
the study of metaphysics, would they be likely
to become disciples of Sir William Hamilton or
John Stuart Mill?
Was Hannibal, in your judgment, a negro?
answer the same question as to Othello.
Do tho colored people in Virginia usually sleep
with their heads under the bed clothes? and how
far will emancipation modify this habit?
What effect is emancipation likely to" have
upon the comparative consumption of corn bread
and wheat bread?
Are the colored people in Virginia fond of
bright colors? and if so, what effect will emanci
pation be likely to have upon this taste?
What do the people of Virginia think of a
license system in the State Massachusetts?
Have you ever heard any opinion expressed
as to the right of F. W. Bird to a seat in the
Massachusetts Legislature!
What do the people of Virginia think ol the
Hoosac Tunnel? and of the new drill? do they
think it will work as well as the Freedmen’s
Bureau bill?
What are the opinions of the people of Vir
ginia as to who the following persons were;
The man in the Iron Mask.
The author of Junius.
The man in the Claret Coat.
The man that struck Billy Patterson.
SOUTHERN ARHStTIN NEW~ I FORK
Among the artists who have settled in New
York since the close of war, we notice Wm. D.
Washington, of Virginia, who Is engaged on a
couple of “figure compositions,” which pro
mise to give him reputation in that walk cf
his profession :
John B. Key, of Virginia, a descendant of
“Star Spangled Banner Key,” has placed on
exhibition at ‘'Snedicor’s,” 70S Broadway,
three very well executed views of FortSomter;
one a view from Hart’s Idand, of one of the
bombardment days; (whereof there were hun
dreds) and others of the Interior oi that memo
rable fort, which is now of more historical in
terest than any other in the wide world.
The last of the three represents the fort sur
rounded by Yankee monitors, throwing iron
into it by the tou. You can Imagine you hear
the thunder of the Federal guns, and the voicee
of those immortal men who defended that dila
pidated woik. ‘ One glorious hour” in that
defence were worth a score of years in common
life. Mr. Key was around Fort Sumter during
a greater part of the siege, and he had oppor
tunities that never can ocour again, from which
his great works have been painted.
ms. w, p. munop.h,
also from Virginia, is here engaged on a land
scape—a “ View of Cheat River, Va.,’’ which
promises to be a most splendid tranecript cf
the Cheat River Mountains.
MR, MCDONALD,
from Missouri, the sculptor, is getting out his
head of Charles O’Connor, Esq., in marble, and
has recently gone to work on the bust of Jas.
T. Brady, Esq, another eminent New York
lawyer. w r . McDonold will soon leave New
York for Virginia, to do the head of the Incom
parable soldier, Gen. Robert E. Lee.
THOMAS S. NOBLE.
This talented young painter, who was a pri
vate soldier with Price in the Trans-Mississippi
Department, C. S A., has, we learn, returned
to St. Louis with his portfolio filled with most
valuable sketches of the war. Mr. Noble is
one of the belt draftsmen in the country, and
we are confident that his war sketches are
among the best taken during the struggle. He
is now drawing a large picture in St. Louis,
which, when finished, is to be placed on record
in New York. —Metropolitan Record.
THE PRESIDENCY “The MOBILE AND
OHIO RAILROAD.
We understand that General Bragg has with
drawn his name as candidate for the Presiden
cy of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. If this is
so, it leaves but one prominent candidate in
opposition to Hon. Milton Brown. Some of
our cotemporaries in tbe East have been teem
ing with chaiges against the present manage
ment of the road; and there seems to be an
earnest effort to organize an effective opposi
tion to it. How far this has progreesei we
are not informed. We are aware that, while it
is the province of a newspaper to cail atten
tion to abuses of 'corporations that may fall
under its notice, yet, while we occupy a posi
tion of “a looker on in Venice,” we can only
note the progress of events and post cur
readers. We cannot refrain though from ex
pressing the hope that if an 7 change has been
determined upon in the minds of the stock
holders, General Johnston may be their choice
for President. He has the ability to manage
a Railroad, and his merit is equal to his ability.
He has not sought the position ; the position
has sought him. We are requested to state
that a dispatch has been received from him,
stating his willingness to accept the position
if elected to it. The present President has
been connected with the road several years
and is known generally to the people of this
State. We cannot join in the newspaper op
position to him for the reason that we are not
so well posted in the causes that animate it,
as the popers that echo it.—Jackson (Miss )

Those cruel words ate spoken !
That wicked deed is done !
A loving heart is htokeo !
Immoital mine is won !
Not by the martial trumpet,
Not by the tramp of war,
But love o’er pride hath triumphed—
A mightier conquest, far !
How coirid you dare displace her,
The noble, goou, and true !
Who in this struggle yielded
More than her life tor you ?
How c.uki you Jare to sunder
The tie to her so dear,
The sacred name of wife upon
Another to confer ?
I know you must have loved her
When—oh ! how sadly lone !
She strove to fiad some glaiuess
In thinking of your own—
When placing every toeling
Os self upon the shrine
Os perfect immolation,
Bhe se.. med almost divine '?
Oh Fatalist ! providence
Is surely just and true,
Though oft us vengeance slow may seem
Upon a favored lew.
Long may it bear with beings
Who’ro cast in noble mould ;
Still God's created universe
His justice must behold !
The tie v. as never sundered
Before ihe Court of Heaven,
And she was not your wife who to'
The throne of France was given !
The heir for whom you sacrificed
The crown of manhood’s worth
High Heaven’s retribution 1
Has faded tri m the earth !
While he whose veins are glowing
With tho blood of Josephine,
Stands first among the monarebs
Where once thy throne hath been,
True in thy deep adversity,
Her death!* ss woman’s love
Has triumphed over eveiy tfst
And lives with her above !
