The Conquered Banner.
Furl that Banner! for ’us weary,
’Round tis staff his drooping dreary ;
Furl it, fold >l, it is best; A,
For there’s not a man to wave it,
And there's not one left to lave it,
In the blood which heroes gave it;
And its foes now Scorn and brave it;
Furl it, hide it, let it rest.
Take that Banner down ! ’tis tattered,
Broken is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Ocr whom it floated high.
Oh I ’tis hard for us to fold it;
Hard lo think there’s none to hold it;
Hard that those who once unrolled it
Now must furl it with a sigh.
Furl that Banner! furl it sadly;
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore it would forever wave—
Swore thrtt foeman’s sword could never
Hearts like their's entwined dissever,
'Till that flag would float forever
O’er their freedom or their grave.
Furl it! for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
An 1 that Banner, it Is trailing
While around it sounds the wailing
Os its people in their woe ;
For though conquered they adore it;
Low the cold dead hands that bore it,
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
And oh! wildly they deplore it,
Now to furl and fold it so.
Furl that Banner ! true ’tis gory,
Yet ’tis wreathed around with glory,
And ’twi 1 live in song and sto-y,
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages—
Shall go sounding down through ages—
Furl its folds though now we must.
j Furl that Banner! softly, slowly;
Treat urgently—it is holy—
For it droops above the dead,
Touch it not —unfold it never,
Let l droop there furled forever,
For its people’s hopes are dead.
The Cotton Trade.
Nkw Orleans, Jan. 3.—Messrs. Neill Bros. &
Co.’s cotton report of December 3d, says:
Our advices from all points fully confirm us
in the opinion that the estimates of the total
supply given in our last circular were not tooj
high, inclining us to the outside figures, 2,100,
0 0 bales.
The course of trade lias been a good deal
changed by the want of the customary rise in
the rivers. Instead of the receipt of 100,000
bales weekly, the average has been restricted
to 60,000 bales.
The information now, from all points, is that
the rivers are rapidly rising, and the receipts
are already on an increasing scale.
The receipts here and at Mobile for the weeks
ending December 16th, were 22,169 bales ; De
cember 22d, 82,684 bales ; and December 29th,
3T,200 bales.
The* receipts at all points, and cotton for
warded North already, amount to 1,300,000
bales, thus controverting Secretary McCulloch’s
estimate of 1,300,000 bales for the entire supply
of old and new.
There are no signs of any serious falling off
in the receipts at any point, and the effeef of
the use of the rivers will be to protract the
delivery of the staple to a comparatively late
date. •
The queetion rises, will not the strength of
the large holders at Mobile and New York be
exhausted before the first falling offtakes place,
and can that strength continue if cotton con
tinues to he piled up in the ports?
Already the stock at leading points exceeds
600,060 bales, and is daily increasing, whereas
the total foreign exports since the Ist of Sep
tember amount to only 300,000 bales.
Down to the latest dates from all points, so
far as present, indications can he trusted, they
think it not unreas nable to anticipate a crop
for 1866 and 1861 of 1.600,000 bales to 1,800,000
halos, w Lei oof not less than half will be re
tained in the country—or say 230,000 or 300,000
hales from the Atlantic States and Florida, and
1,300,000 to 1,500,000 bales from the other
Southern States.
'tYßA’f the Presid'Hnt thinks of Reconstruc
tion. — Hon. Hiram McCulloch called on Presi
dent Johnson a day or two since, and had a
free and frank conversation with him. The
Bresiaeht expressed'liis full confidence' in being
able to restore the entire union of the States to
the satisl'ictitin of ail national and reasonable
men without any further humiliation of the
South.

MACON,' GEORGIA, JANUARY 19, 1866.
The Home Journal.—lVe have often had occa
sion to quote this excellent and readable weekly,
and few papers come to our office so full of in
teresting matter, whether extended in the form
of stories and essays, or condensed in pointed
and sprightly paragraphs. It will be seen that
the programme for 1366 is very brilliant, and
from a long experience of its past perform
ances, we can have no doubt its present promises
will be rigidly kept. The merits of the Journal
only need to be generally known to be cordially
recognized. The paper under its efficient man
agement, takes its rightful place among the
most extensively circulating weeklies in the
country. In addition to the general attractive
ness of its matter, it has a marked individuality,
which discriminates it from all its rivals, and
makes it emphatically the “ Home Journal.”
Boston Transcript, Dec, 1865.
Quiet lady-like society—dumb belles.
Wealth is not apt to be modest—the face on a
guinea never blushes.
The young gentleman who flew into a passion
has had his wings clipped.
Why is a kiss like some sermons ?—Because
there are two heads and an application.
Why is kissing your sweetheart like eating
soup with a fork ? Because it takes a long time
to get enough of it.
Death is the gate through which all must pass,
but it is not, aS is befteved, the gate of the un
known. .
The Washington Republican gravely an
nounces that “sorhfe bf the men heretofore call
ed ‘ detectives,’ are now known as ‘ the detect
ed.’ ”
About the hardest case ever heard of
was a murderer named Stone, executed many
years since in Exeter. Just before the rope was
placed round hia neck, he requested the sheriff
to him a mug’. of ale. The request was
promptly attended ;he took the cup and
commenced bibwing the froth from the ale.
“What are you doing that for?” nervously ask
ed the sheriff “ Because,” returned the per
fect wretch, “ I don’t think froth healthy.”
Sydney Smith, one day observing Lord
Brougham’s one-horse carriage, on the panel of
which appeared a “ B ” surmounted by a coronet,
said to a friend, “ There goes a carriage with a
bee outside and a wasp within.”
