The following poem was written by Captain Thos. F. Rocho, for merly of Loring's command, A. N. T., on the occasion of General Lee's visit to Baltimore in behalf of the Valley Rail Road. It speaks for itself, and we venturo the asser tion that thero is not a true man nor woman in the South who, a( tor reading it, will not say, "God bloss thoo, Robert Lee:" God bless thee, noble General I God bless thee, Robert Lee I Our Southern hearts throb warmly now, Once more we dream we're free; Once more our vivid fancy brings Sweet memory's treasured store, -And we tread dear Dixie's soil, And fight our battle o'er; u\gain we proudly, fondly rest Our lives, our hopes on thee; In thought, we grasp again out- swords, R1colved to die with L,ee.

HIS OWN STATEMENT. Tlie great novelist prefaces his lotter as follows: "You havo not only my full portnission to show this, but I bog you to show this to any one who has boon misled into doing me diron." We thereforo take pleasure in presenting his statement to our readers: My Dear -: Mrs. Dickens and I havo lived unhappily to gother for many years. Hardly any one who has known us inti matoey can fail to have known that we tre, in all respects of cha noter- and temperament, wonder fully unsuited to each other. I suppose that no two people not vi c ~ ious in themselves ever wer-e joined together who had greater diffioulty in inderstanding one ,nnotheor, or i o had less in com-. mron. An attached woman ser ~vantL (more friend to both of us :than a servant), wvho lived wvith .us sixteon yars, and is now mar' 1riod, and wh wa~s and still is in Nfra- Dicens' confidence andl mine, 'who had the closest fa.miliar ox ~perionoo of this unhappiness in fiond on, in the country, in Fr-ance, in Italy, wherever we have been, ~veoar after year, month after- month, ,vock after week, day after daty, svill bear- testimony to this. Nothing has, on nmaty ooon dions, stood betweon us and a sep. aration but Mrs. Dickens' sister, Gorgino HIogar-th. From tihe ago of fifteen she has devoted heorself to our house andl children. She has been their play mate, nur-se, in viser and compnion. In the man ly consideration towards Mr-s. bickons which I owe to my wvife, I Nill merely reomark of her that the peeuliarity of her char-ae= I, ter has thrown all the care of the children on some one else. I do ntot know-i1cannot by any stretch of fancy imagilne--.~what would have become ofXthem but for this guunt, who has grown up with them, to whom they are devoted, and who has sacrificed the best par-t of bemr youth ard life to thorm. She has r-e strated, -ensonod, suffered and tailed, and( come again, to prevent a separation between Mr-s. Dickens and me. Mr-s. 1)ick ens has often exp)ressedl to her the s-enso of' her- afictionate care and dlevotion1 in thle hous--.-ever more strongly than within the last twelve mon01ths.I For somo years past Mrs. Diok ens has been in the habit of rep resenting to me that it would be better for her to go away and live apart; that her always increasing estrangement made a mental dis order, under which sho sometimes labors ; moro that she felt herself unfit for the life she had to load as my wife, and that she would be far better away. I have uniform ly replied that she must bear our misfortune and fight the fight out to the end ; that the children were the first consideration, and that I feared they must bind us together "in appearance." At longth) within theso three wooks, it was suggested to mo by Foster, that even for their sakes it would surely be better to recon struct and rearrange the unhappy home. I ompowored him to treat with Mrs. Dickens as the friond of both of us for one and twenty years. Mrs. Dickons wished to add, on hor part, Mark Lemon, and did so. On Saturday last Lem on wrote to Foster th'tt Mrs. Dick ens "aratefuilly and thankfully ac cepted the terms I proposed to her. Of tile pecuniary part of them, I will only say that I be. liove they are as generous as if Mrs. Dickens were a lady of dis tinction and I a man of fortune. The remaining parts of them are easily described-my eldest boy to live with Mrs. Dickens and to takO care of her; my eldest girl to kep my houso ; both by girls and all my children but the eldest sonl to live with me in continued com panionship of their I aunt Georgine, for whom they have all the ten derest affections that I have Over seen among young people, and who has i higher claim (as I have often declared for many years) upon my affection, respect and gratitude, than anybody in this world. I hope that no one who may be came acquainted with what I write horo can possibly be so cruel and unjust as to put any miscon st ruction on1 our separation, So fill. My elder children all understand it perfoctly, and all accept it ats in evitable. There is not a shadow of donbt or Concealment Imotng us. My oldest son and I are one as to it a'l. Two wicked persons, who should have spo.cen very (iTOrent of me, in considJeration of earned respect and gratitude, have (as I am told, and, indeed, to my personal knowl edge,) coupled with this separa ration the name of a young lady for whom I have a groat attach ment and regard. I will not re )oat the name-I honor it too much. Upon my soul and honor, there is not on this earth a more vir -tuous and spotless creature than that young lady. I k-now her to be innocent and puro, and 'as good as my own daughters. Fut ther, I am quite suro that Mrs. Dickens, having received this assur-ance from me, must niow be lieve it, in the respect I know her to have for mae, and in the peorfect confidenoe. I know her, in hor bet ter moments, to reposo in my truuthfuilness. On this head, again, there is not a shadow of dloubt or concealment between my children and me. All is opoen and plain among us, as though we were brothers and sis ters. T.Ihoy are porfootly certain that I wvould not (doceive them, and tihe confidence among us is without a fear. C. D. " 'Twas in the lovely month of' June, 1 courted Lizzoo,e Loo; the crested wav'elets 11imrmured(, and the mfoonbl)ams kisred the sea; I whisperedl in her ear soft words, her hand in mine I prest; and as I dre her 101 nearer still-well, nover mind the i-esti WoX wran dleredl slowly, hand in hand, with heads together bo wed; our words wore low and softly said, our' sighs wore long andl loud ;I asked her if' she loved mio, and heri head drooped ont my breast, I listene~d, and the answver was--wolcl, nover' mind the rest I 'VT evening deepened in)to night, and( stars lit up the sky ; again I1 whispered, andl her answer wams a sigh.

Recently three distinguished mon have passed away-Hon. John Boll, of Tonnessee, Senator Pesseniden, and General Rawlins, Socrotary of War. The latter is said to have boon the only friend of the South in Grant's Cabinet. Now that he is gone, the duty of trusting to God for protootion is more apparent. "Vain is the hell) that man sul)plios" at best, but when those that are friendly are taken out of' the way, then we must say with the Psalmist: "God is our refuge and our strength, In 8triitsit a present aid." Gen. Sherman is the successor of iawlins, pro tem., and if he is disposed to make amends for the evils ho has inflicted on us, the way is opn; lot him show a friendly hand. Senator Fossenden showed him s81 a ma in the im)eachment of Andy Johnson. Doubtless he had a very poor opinion of A, J., but lie had too good an opinion of his own character and uprightness to be influenced by party considera tions to give aln unrighteous do cision against the President. He will be honored for his stand in this matter, w hilo those who could stoo) to a mean act, to carry party schemes, vill be contomned by posterity, if not by the present generation. If Mr. Bell had been the only candidato in opposition to Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency, Lin coin would havo boon defoated, and the war with all its horrors, would have been postponed indefinitoly. But it appears to have boon so ordered that three candidates were to tako the field and wecaken each 1 hom-, ond no opun the way for Lincoln and the war and the ultimate overthrow of the Gov ernment.

To have a cotton crop nicely housed, the farner should keep well up with his cotton, as it opens, durilig the present month-if, lie f.tl!s b3hind now, he will find it v,iy difficult to catch up later in the season. The days are still long and the weather warm-eve-ry. thing favorable to cotton picking, except the heavy dow. The cot ton pickeld durihg the first half of the morning should, by all means, be stinnod bofore being packed avay in bulk. We do not write this because we suppose any of our readers do not know that damp cotton ought to be sunned, but becauso thero is always a strong temptation to neglect it. It involves trouble, should be turned over, and must be watched, to avoid the showers of rain, etc., etc., but we ar-o sure overy observ ing pierson will agree with us that the increased beauty of' "sample," when ginned,~ will more than re paiy the trouble of dryinig. WVe cannot, from per'sonal experience, decide between the various gins nowv before the public. Where it can be (lone without (detrimnent to the cotton crop, it is (desirable to 1houso corn during the pr)esent or early p)art of the ensu ing month, before the wvinter rains have sot in; and where honso room is abundant it is well to store it awvay in the shuck, as corn is then loss troubled by weevils or' rats. Fall oats should be sown now, as8 soon1 as possilo, and we would most earnestly urge upon onr' read ers to increaso this valuable er'op. For coertainty of succeeding and for the amount priodneedO(, oats sown in September are worth (doubie of those sown in the spring. Clover and grasses may also be sown now atnd have time to get established before severe weather sets in. T1horo is this advantage in sowing now, that should thoroo b)o a failure in securing a stand, one has an opportunity of resowv lug, either in whole or in part;in the spring.

Some one says that tioxious itivia are absorbed in an incredi bly short space of time, if two or three onions are cut in thin slicos, and put on a plato, to be renewed every six hours. This is just as true as that the smarting from the scratch of a pin becomes instanta ncously unfelt if the person is knocked down. The only safo, healthful and effrectual method of keoping a sick room "sweet," is to keeop everything scrupulously dry and clean j instantly remove every article of clothing or bod ding which has an atom of damp ness or moisturo upon it; do not allow even pure water to stand a moment in the apartmont ; lot the firoplace be always kept open, with a frequent and free adimis sion of the pure and the fresh air from out doors. This should be dono every two or three hours during the twenty-four. It is the pure air that sick people want, not an atmospherc loaded with the fumes of onions, for in a pint of air they displace just as many L )articles of fresh air as would urnt sugar, cologne-water, or the sulphurretted hydrogon of the out house; for be it' remembered, it is not the odor which does the mischief so much as the deficiency of nutrititous particlos of the at mosphere which it takes the place of.

MIS-SPENT EVENINus.-The boy who spends an hour of each even ing lounging idly on a street cor nor, wastes, in the course of a year, throo hundred and sixty five precious hours, which, if ap plied to study, would familiarize him with the rudiments of almost any of the fumiliar sciences. If in addition to wasting an hour each evening, he spends ten cents for a cigar, which is usually the case, the amount thus worse than wasted, would pay for ten of the leading periodicals of the country. Boys, think of these things. Think how much prccious time and good money you are wasting, and for what ? The gratification afforded by the lounge on the cor nor, or by the cigar, is not only tenmIpoIarIy, but Positively hurtful. You cannot indulge in those prac tices without seriously injuring yourselves. You acquire idle and wasteful habits, which will Cling to you through life, and grow up on you with each succeeding year. You may in after life shake them off, but the llprobabilities are that the fiabits thus formed in early lifle will remain with you till your dying dlay. Be warned then in ime, aind resolve that as thme hour spent in idlencss is gone forever, you will improve each passing on10, and thereby fit yourselves fbr useful ness an d happin ess.
