LINES On the death of F. E. Ba**a*d, which occured on St Helena Island, 8. C., October 18th, 1862. He slept ; the burning agony had passed, The struggle And the pain ; The brow, relieved of anxious trouble, took Its childhood's calm again. Which deepened on and ever, till it grew Into eternal peace ; Into a rest where painful dreams are o'er, And restless tossing s cease. It seems as if that still fate had not known A suffering or a care, So legibly and so unalterably The peace of God is there. And are who look, forget the darksome way, And almost ask to b? ! . Sharers in such a perfectness of rest, Such deep tranquility. These Islands give him all they have to give; A few height autumn flowers, To light the darkness of the oofin lid. With thoughts of Springtime hours ; An?zncre than these, heart tears from those who shared M* gmrqupfkip an! love; Such tears are counted ^lestin in yon world All other pnuse above. . 1 I '' i % , ( I, Most honored! thou, first called from midst our band, 'lis said, no cause can be On earth victorious till its martyrs die; And so we think of thee, As if thy death had consecrating power, s TV* W<? tKc trnrlr 'Till many laborers reap the harvest in, Where thou has sown the seed. Mubiuy. Tact and Talent.?In a cap tal book of essays and sketches, now having it run of popularity in England, we find the following musing ofi-hand portra ture of tact and t lent Th writer re ognises the just distinction b tween thes two qualities. Tact in u highest manifestat.on, we have always consid r, das only a little short of . bsolute genius. Talent ;s something; but tact is everything. Talo,, iii inrinnc onhur errarA >nH iP?<WW<(iih)p tact is all that and more too It is not a seventh se se, but the life of all the live. It is the open eye, the quick ear, the judging taste, the ke n sme' , and the lively tonch : i is the mterpreter of all ridd es?the surra i unter of all d fficulties?the remover o all obstacles, it is useful nail places, and at all times; c. is useful in solitude, for it shows a man bis way tb ough the world. Talent is power?tact is skill; talent is weight?tact is momentum : talent knows what to d ?tact knows how to do it: talent make.v a man respectable? tact will make hi.n ie peeled: talent is wealth? tact is ready money. For all the practical purposes of life, tact carries .t against talent? te.? to one. Tal M makes the world wonder that it gets on n taster?tact excites astonishment that it gets on so fast; a ,d the secret is that it has no we ght toe r* rv- it makes no false steDS?it hits he lieht nail cm th head?it loses no time?it takes all hints? : and by keeping it? eye on the weather ock, is ready | tdmtage of -ewy wind t .attlowe. It I % ! has all the air of commonplace, and all the force 1 and powers of genius. It can change sides with : a heypresto movement, and be at all points of the compass, while talent is ponderously and learnedly sifti.g a single point. T..lent calculates clearly, reasons logically, makes out a case as clear as daylight, and utters its oracles with all the weight of justice and reason. Tact refute, without contraa .?:*k its.. i r u ciiug, puzzics uic ^ruiuuuu wuu pruiuuuuy,aiiu 1 without wit outwits the w.se Set them together ; od a ace for popularity, pen in hand, and tact will { distance talent by half the course. Talent brings i to market that wh.cb k wanb d; tact produces , that which is wished for. Talent instructs; tact enligfitens Talent lea Is where no one follows ; tact follows where the humor leads. Talent is pleased that ft ought to have succeeded^ ta.t is i delighted that it has S iCC^eded. Talent toils for a posterity which wHl never rejpi^y it] tact throws away no pains, bnt catches thepassion the pass-, ing ho ,r. Talent builds for eternity J tact on a short 1 ase, and gets good interest. Talent is certainly & very fine thing to la k about, a very good thing to be proud of, a very glorious eminence to look down, from; but tact is useful, portable, applicable, always alive, a.wtyg alert, always market-| able: it is the talent of t.lents, the availableness^ of resources, the applic bility 6f power, the eye of d.scrimination, the right hand of intellect. Parson Brownlow to tur Govbrsori or the Lotai Statei.?The Governors of the Loyal j States have beep addressed by PvJ-son Brownlow, the substance of whose letter is as follows: " I propose that you fts-Governors of the Loyal States, meet at some convenient point, without delay, and as the representatives cf your people j address y .ursolves, in unmistakable terms to the civil and military authorities ol the United States. I will not say tchat you sha.l tell them, but I will. | with all due deference to your superior abilities suggest a low points that you might make and forcibly impress upon the minds of our autborities : j First?Urg the Government to draft, without1, delay, a halt million of men, in addition to t.ie ; j force already in the field and in camps of instruc-, tion. And, upon the score of t onomy, apprise the j Government ol the fact that it wtHr require less money to furniab, equip and sustain a million for j two years. ( Fourth Call upon the Piesideat, whose honesty and patriotism I do not question, to reorganize ; i his Cabin ta d the army, and to place men at the , j heads of bo h wh . will not study how to kill ofF,, 1 leading rebels without hurting them. Fifth?Advise the civil and military authorities 1 ( of the country, and the p lkkians to cease this }, war upon the everlasting 'nigger," until we con- j quer their white masters and arrest the onward ' ] march of their desperate and a rogant owners. I Meanwhile, let the negroes be seized upon and urged in every way to crush out this infernal i rebellion j Sixth?dvise your Senators and Representstives in Cougress and the members of your State j ; Legislatures as well as the people, to cease to . I make efforts to revive and reorganize old political parties, and to org nize one new party, to be known as the UNCONDITIONAL UNION PARTY Or ! j AMERICA. Seventh?Let the Government and army know 1 what they seem never to have learned-^-that is to ! ! say, that the rebels are a uni , fighting with a des-,c i peration and sk.ll never surpassed by any people on 8 i earth; while we, who have a noble army o, brave * men, with money, credit, all else necessary, and i c truth on our side, are divided and distracted? , e while we are tolerat.ng traitors and tories in our ' midst 1 Eighth?Inform our Government and people i * that our ship of State is now in & heavy sea, and j* that at no period since the rebellion broke out has j so de pa depression fallen upon the hearts of loyal citizens as at present." 2 ? ? | r Me sure for Measur Lieut. Col. Peckham, f command ng t'.e Tost at Cape Girade3u, Mo., has * issued the following special order regarding the j k case of a certain David Anderson, a Union man,: I wboaaflteicd tfadgott brutal treatoaegf y. tfybaafr <2 of the rebels on account of his loyal sentiments, liutler-like he gives the rebels measure for measure and sets an example of.poetic justice worthy of record and imitation: Headquarters Post, Cafe Girardeau, Mo., ) September 17,1862. J Special Order No. 2.?David Anderson, with his four surviving children, appears at these headquarters, a re ugee from his home in Scott County, id the most destitute condition, it is satistactorily proved that the aforesaid Anderson has been driven from his home by certain enemies of the United States Government, who have murdered two of his children and destroyed his entire property. It L unfortunately true that there are persons in this section who sympathize' with the af orementioned enemie?in theii commission of murder, arson and theft, under the plea that they are committed in behalf of the so-called Confederate States. It it hereby ordered, That such sympathizers shall bo taxed a s .fliciont sum of money to satisfy the immediate pressing wants of the aforementioned Lav id Anderson and other refugees now here, and sufficing from want of the common necess ri. 8 of life from the same cause. Otto Birchman, E. Garaghty and W. J. Arnold, citizens of cape Girardeau, will proceed forthwith to assess the aforesaid sympathizers, the sum of f 500 in sums proportionate to the amount of property each may possess. The Provost .Marshal at this post will attend to the collection of tue sums so assessed. By order of JAMES PECKHAM, Lieut. Col* Commanding Post. " kobt.o. vv iddecombe, ist JLieut. ana rost Aaji. Skilfil Tac ics. ? We find in a letter from a private in the 10th Mass. Regt. the following account of a piece of skilful management by Gen. Couch, when operating near Williauisport, directly after the battle of Antietam. The enemy, it will be remembered, had a large force in that vicinity, whose intentions were for some time doubtful The letter says: We got to with.n two miles and a half of Williamsport at about 3 P. M. on ; aturday, when we ran on to the rebels General Couch f ormed bis division in line of battle, making a whole brigade out of one new regiment, and made it seem as if we had three times the force there was there. Thf>re was snmn sh^llim? hr the r^hnls. hut not A cannon was fired on our aide, and only one of our ien killed,?in the First Rhode Island Regiment. We marched back in line, about half a mile, to get ft better position, and alterposting our pickets, lay there till morning. " As soon as General Couch ran upon the rebels lie sent for reinforcements. They arrived at about I o'clock Sunday morning, and at daylight went in towards iV'illiamsport, but the rebels had left luring the night. The people around them said lhat there was a force ot seventy or ei0hty thouland in rebels there the night before, and they 'hough t our whole force wa? there. ' Mitclells' Raid.?The Pvovidence Journal, in in article upon the subject of < Stuarts' Raid into Pennsylvania," has the following remarks:? " We cannot but feel a little mortified, at seeing sxploits like these repe ted by rebel leaders, and 10 seldom achieved by us. If of no other value, hey are of great service in keeping up the spirit >f the rebel army andj>eople. Turchin and Mitch11 shewed this dashing spirit in northern Alabama, ind the western cavalry which cut the railroad in Jeauregard's rear,jus* before he lelt Corinth, pera rl m/.iJ n <1 k?i lit n a Vv/-\ar* a/ CfniJn# UI Ili'JU A UCCU tto U1 AO IUMOM Ml tJiUOiV. ?UV hey have been too rare wi.h us."
