The Dylnrj Soldier
--^_
I I/pon Manesaos' bloody field
|>'\' At dosing of tho doy,
' Whoo starry lumps woro cot in heaven
A youthful soldier lay.
No raotbor's r?outlo hand was ihoro,
To soot ho his throbbing brow:
No sister's voioo wao heard to cheer,
In whispers ?oft Olid low.
flo milled o' brother soldier near,
For much hid ho to say
Of those who wero most dear lo him,
So many miles awoy.
My father, comrade, you must tell,
That 'mid tho battles' strife,
To koep oiy oouotrv's honor bright,
I yioided up my life.
I know 'twill griovo him much to think
Thoo I ahall never more,
Sit at his side, at twilight hour,
When daily toils oro o'er.
But he will consolation fiod
Boforo that Throno of draco,
Whoro I sholl soon bo called to stand,
And seo my Maker's fuoo.
When to my mother you shall spook
.About this bloody frey,
Tell hor in soft and gent?o tones
What happened hero to day.
Toll her wheo death Was oo my brow,
And lifo was ebbing fast,
Her many earnest prayers for mo,
Were with mo to tho 1 J & t.
Tell her I ask her not to griovo
For me, hor petted- boy;
But let her sad and sorrowing tears,
Give piuco to smiles of joy.
That I rejoiced to give my lifo,
On this eventful day,
Though on tho Geld for mile? around
The dead and dying loy.
Tell my sistof that in death
Of her I fondly thought,
And longed ouco moro to heartier voice
With SO much music fraught.
That when upon Mnnassas field
I wounded dying lay,
My parting thoughts wero of my home
60 many miles away.
Ile ceased-his comrado sadly knelt,
And gently ruised his head,
And mournfully wiped off u tear
Tho noble boy was duud,

The Future of the Piedmont
Belt
We requested Judge Willard to prepai
an article on tho outlook of the Piedmoi
belt and ho kindly consented to do th
work. Our readers will be interested i
learning what this able jurist thinks of tl
luturo of thc Piedmont belt:
To ono who has, in tho middlo days 1
March, left behind tho blustering wir.<
and harsh chill of the North Al hint
coast, and has emerged in thc soft un
fragrant air of this beautiful ? iodinoi
region, tho question occurs, Why is ix
this region os thickly populated us le
favored portions of thc great country
which it forms a parti* Ho oontrasts tl
natural endowment of thoso rogiou* whe
the adage prevails "that if a frog croaks (
St. Patrick's day there ure yet to he s
weeks of wiutcr," with thc spring lil
asp-lot of this section nt tho samo peri?,
and must conclude that u.ture is not*
that makes a laud attractive to man. Tl
future of this Piedmont country is locki
up in thc practical solution of the qucslit
that hus been propounded;
Thc name Piedmont stiegest s a rollii
country, sitting ut thc foot of high moui
tains, ever pure, ex sept in the Benson
florins, wheu tho turbulent waters th und
dowo tho rock escarpments, dark with t
rieh mountain mould, und brawling out
their beds over tho lowlands, leave bchii
them new sources of fertility. The plea
ing associations of this attractive mu
belong to this beautiful region, und for
shadow what ooo secs who traces up t'
streams that cross this belt of land tollu
mountain sources. Behind arc mouutfti
of tho Bluo llidgo, great earth wav
rolled up cither by a tcrrifio tempest, or
tho accumulations from rhythmic pulst
that through ages havo chanted cn intuir]
bio melody along these ridges nnd V.IIM
Perhaps they aro but pigmies, conspired
those great rock masses wasted thron
ages of which they arc tho vestiges. ]
this 09 it may, if they have lost in grande
they have gained in beauty, and as th
appear to-day mantled in verdure to tin
tops, showing hero and lhere their iuwa
strength ic a olear face of rock or jun
crag, they suggest nothing for sentiment
artistic tasto to regret? Tho energy
nature displayed down to thu font ol (lu

Theso rolling lands that stretch from

feelings toned to a quiet sonso of enjoyment,
but havo a charin ss so near to tho place
of thoio influences that wcro onco ascribed
to airy beings who delighted in woods,
rivulets and mountain fustucsses
Tho climate is not only enjoyable but salu
brious and favorable for productivo industry.
Tho influence of climate does not explain tho
faot timi theso favored regions nm sparsely oc
cupied, while vast domains of Western lands
have been raised to high culture since industry
first sought to npproprinto this belt of laud. If
that part of tho South is sought where tho
whito man can labor without loss o? constitu -
tional vigor, and without olirnnlio lassitude and
where ho oan enjoy nature nod art with a grati
fication undiminished by tho labors necessary
for sustenanco and reasonable accumulation,
this is tho spot Southern const life demands
that mau shill make Ids choice between labor
and tho soft indulgences, but tho air of tho
mountains adda pleasure to activity amt indus
try to a rcslful spirit. Hero winter conies with
just enough of rigorto purify thc earth and tho
atmosphere, preventing the lower forms of ani
mal nud vegetable life (rom obtaining predomi
nance. Animal and vegetable lite of Hie higher
order are not compelled io consumo tho sub
stance of Ibo larmer lo m.tko gain, but to re
sist tho severities of winter oliniato.
Nor docs tho reason of tho slow devel
opment of this region lie in tho character
of it's 9oils, minerals and forest productions.
It ia trim (hero oro no broad arcas like thc
prairies covered wi li depths of mold that
can only bo accounted for us deposits from
inland lako or as swamp growths. Such
ddposits must bo shunned in warm climate?
as unhealthful. Nor arc they uccded
where the rapid growth of vegetation sup
filies annually thc required fertilizing agouti
but aro appropriate to regions where ncou
muhitioii8 from a meagre annual growth ii
needed to invito man to establish his houn
and produce his arts. Wo have yet tt
leam whether the genera1 proposition thu

may not bo appropriate to tho tillage o

At all events, us ci viliz it ion is not for ?

tho hinda that roll away from the foot, t
thc mount.lins bearing a strong soil natu

The question llien recurs, vrli
is this region sparsely sol tied ti

industrial doi/ingcgucs. Tho ex
istence of labor associations is nott
the fact of worst import, but thc
implication of scch organizations
with political ends and motives.
Tito laborer and tho capitalists
naturally hayo opposite interests*
hut that opposition bicornes clan
gorous when it attains political
signiiicanco. If the South caji
show a clear prospect ior gootl
relations between the employer
and tho employed, capital will
move South hy millions instead of
thousands. To oiler such in
ducements, it must appear that
the re'is no bad blood between thc
laborer and tho employer. If such
a state of division exists, not only
will supplies of labor be uncertain
and unmanageable, but invested
capital will riot bo safe from tho
possible consequences of popular
commotion. Perfect justice be
tween thc employer and tho em
ployed is necessary to produce
such an inviting condition as to
move great capital. The laborer
must liavo bis rights, civil and po
litical, or discord will produce dis
order, mid disorder will compel I
tho angel o? peace and prosperity
to say, not yet! If tho people ol*
the Piedmont say to a man that
justice must bo dom; equally to
all, and thc rights of all oqually !
protected, as sure as there is a !
heaven that rewards just dealing
and sends ?.overly surely though
slowly in Hie track of injustice, the
day of the prosperity of this re
gion AV il! come, and that quickly.
An impression exists, tending
to delay this happy result, that
certainly is not correct in its ap
plidation to the people of this
Piedmont belt. It is that there
is a different interpretation of
what, constitutes good fellowship
fer thc home born and for tho
stranger. To meet this impres
sion it is of no usc to discuss tho
general state of feeling between
(ho North and South. Tho ques
tion is bow tho people who breathe
the free air of tho mountains ?eel
towards those who come among
them, not to cheat and steal, but
to help build the waste places.
. hose from abroad who have
practically tested tho question
know thai the hearts of tho people
bore, as a mass, are sound on this
subject; but it is time that the
press of this section should speak
for tho people, and for them
alone, and what they say will be
believed.

Tho Electoral Count.
Tho Edmunds bill, prncticolly in its
origiuol form, was taken up in the Senate
la~t Thursday, nnd passed wiri ut n call
for yeas ami myst, No party t uti
lines were drawn upon i?, although . i
tho D?mocratie Sonators wei o od ;<.
think that tho proper remedy OOUiists, no
in au act of Congress, but in u constitutional
amendment,
The bill as it goes to tho House pro
vides :
1. That thcolcotors in eaeh Stnto shall
meet on thc second Monday in January,
instead of December, t li UH giving moro
time to settle ?ny disputes lhere may bo as
lo the issue of the popular election in tho
procoding November ut which thc electors
were chosen.
2 That each Stntc shall determino by
ils own tribunals, and uocording to tho laws
ni existence ut thc timo of tho election,
my controversy there muy bo as to what
persons have been chosen ur appointed as
Presidential electors.
ii The decision reached by tho proper
State tribunal is mudo filial, und it is pro
vided that tho vote shill bc counted by
Congress, tis cast by thc doctors thus cou
firined.
4 Whenever only one return is received
by Congress from any State, it cannot be
n , clod except Ly separate vo'c of both
i i mises.
5. Wh never there sro two returns from
it y Stat thal toto F-'tuli bi emin ted by
Congress wliioli ias been confirmed by tho
lawful S ato tiibuoui, and whenever n
questi m is raised in Congress ns lo which
of two or mot tribunals is I iwfully compe
tent to determino ii disputed clcotion, then
'he two Houses, neting separately, must
. mn ott i n inly Bgrto which tribunal is lawful
mid Which of tho doti testing votes RIIUII bo
eouuted The some course is to bc follow? ?
in e.?se of n contest which lias not been
determined tr, a Stnto tribunal.
G lt is G milly provided that if thc
counting of tho votes by (3;.tigress shall
not have been completed by tho filth
uuitudiir day after tho meeting of Congress
for that purpose, then no recess shall bo
taken by either Houso until tho counting
no finished.
This bi I was onco beforo sent to tho
House bea lng the Senate's approval, but it
nd nut in thc first instance Command s ti Iii -
?i< ie support to bo taken op nut of its
n'der. lt |s believed that a difierent tutu
awaits it in the present House-not that it
wholly meets tho views of tho members,
but Ino man it removes ut ii cit ot thc unocr
t inly (lint hus hcutofnro attended tho
most important part of our electoral system
Tile gicnt feature of the bill consists io
tho refeieuoe of tiny contest that party
greed or tucti. n m-iy create, to tho State
most deeply interested. If it beoomcs a law a
St tn that 'loos not before November,
Issi provide a tribunal in wiiiehinie.hu
o nfCSt Oin bc decided, need not blame
anyone outside of its own limits if its will
in a presidential count is disregarded; for
