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.

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

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
