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 Jelepation from the Baltimore Confer rence was then presented by Bishop Early.— By resolutions they were warmly welcomed. Dr. Wilson responded in behalf of the delegation, recounting influence which prompted them to withdraw the Northern and unite with the Southern Church. Dr. Thos.

The robber using chloroform, and gaining entrance by means of nippers, by which he turned the key In the look inside: and on Saturday night a gentleman at the Lanier House was robbed in a like manner, of $3,000. Suspicion fell upon a man registering himself as J. E. Wharton, At ianta, at the Brown House and at the LaDier House as J. E. Horton. Montgomery, Ala. He was pursued on the Atlanta train on Sunday night, recognized and arrested at the Railroad switch in this city. On being arrested he threw away a pair of nippers, keys, etc,, used by bur glars The writing on the two Hotel registers, on comparison, proved to be the same and the money found on his persou was identified by one ot the parties robbed. It is supposed that he has an accomplice who has escaped with most of the funds. Justices Granuis and Clarke committed the prisoner, without bail, under the recent act, which Affixes the penalty of death to burglarr by night. One of the applicants for the post of Deputy State Collector in Hampshire county, Mass., exhibits Fowler A Wells' chart of his crani ological develowments to prove his fitness for office, 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. VAGRANCY.

Approved 12th March. 1866. A cottage in Newport has been let for the snug little sum of $4,000 for the present season. The Tennessee Legislature re assembled on the 9th. 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?

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 ) Clarion.

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 '?

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 !
