Sherman and afterwards paroled. Where once his busy oily stood, the coming soldier sees All ruin now, chimneys, like half-burnt standing trees, In sombre groups t heir places still maintain; - to (leaven they look, And seems to ask, "What record on the pa ges of the book Where all the deeds of mortal men, or bad, or good, are writ ? Where reporting spirits come, where record ing angels sit ? Is there on high no sentence yet, no flaming bolt, no r-od, To smile men who curse, and, if they could, would murder God ? A few sad ones front morn to eve their lone ly places keep, One comtort left-Oh ! what a comfort now it is to weeIpI Approach them not., for constant grief has tmade them faint and weak, Their sobs their story tell, their hearts are full, too full to speak. lie seeks his home, his cherished garden spot, once green and fair, No tree to mark the place, all waste and de solation there, his starving, weeping wife and children gone, he knows not where; Ie lifts his har'ds to God, he vows, he calm ly, eternally swears, By all their wi ongs, their shrieks, their floods of buring tears, To hunt the demons down by clay, by night, with every breath, Where'er they go, o'er field or flood, and to 4he gates of death. Iteviving hope is now at home again, Itrlives, while ever lives determined men; Jet vows like these I can but think I see The life that Is to make my count ry free.

The following is the protest which Mr. Brooks offered in the Hiouise against the admission of the Iteprscentatives of the State of Arkansas: The recognized presence of three per. sons on the floor of this hlouse from the State of Arkansas, sent here by military force, acting under i Brigadier-General of the army, but nevertheless claiming to be members of this Congiess, and to share with its, the Representatives from the free States, in the imposition of tax. es and cuitomns and other laws anon our people, makes it our iperative duty, in this dlie first case, to remonstrato most8, solemtly and to potest as solemnly against this perilous and destructive ini. novation upon the principles and practi ces of our hithbrto constitutiotal self government. The so-called reconstrnc. tion acts, which created the military government in Arkansas, and like gov ernments in other Southern States, to share with us in the legislative power of the Northern and Western free peo ple, we haye every reason to believe, have been held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States, the public declaration of which fact, was avoided only by the extraordinary and strange device of thiis Congress in snatching jurisdiction from the court in the McArdle case when such a public decision was about to be made. Of the three great branches of the government, it seems, then, that after the Executive vetoed these acts as uin. constitutional, the judiciary adj nicated them to be so, wihile a Congress the creation of but twenty seven .' the thirty-ievon States of the Union, over rides the equal and co-ordinate branches of that Government, first by voting down the vetoes, next by nullifying the judgment of the Court. In an era of profound peace, when not an armed man rises against the Government from the Potomac to the Rio U ranle, there, in ten States, our American historical way of creating the organic law uims been utterly subverted by the bayonet. Ever since the Declaration of Indepen dence-with scaracely an exception and even amid the battles of the Revo. lution, Conventions have been convok. nit Illrn,,sh, .m,1J Ouemas sauL ano rra 1nd by, the electors of the States, the only aithorized depositories of the sovereign power of every State, without exterior dictation, as under the existing Federal Con-titution. The hardest and harsh est test oath required from 177G to the peace of 1783 was an, abjuration oath of allegiance to George the Third. while solme of the so-called bavonet-mado Constitutions from the South pro pose absurd and cruel tests-absurd, as in Arkansas, where is interwoven in the organic law a mere party test be tween tue Radical Reconstructionists and the Democratic Conservative, such as would exclude from voting, if living there,, the thousands and tens of thou sands and hundreds of thousands of De mocrats il the free States, (art. 8, sec. 4,) or cruel, as in Alabama, where no white man can vote who will not for-. ever forswear his own race and color, and perjure. himself by swearing, in defiance of the law of God, that the ne gro is his equal, and forever to be his equal at the ballot-box, in the jury-box, with the cartouch-box. in the school, in thle college, in -house anld home, anld by tile fireside-ini short, in every way, every where-(art. 7, sec. 14,) Now, in these aind the othier Southlern States, in the midst of war, President Linicoltn, inl his proclatmationi of December 8th, 1803, offered pardon and~ amnesty to rebels thon in arms, if they . would lay down their arms and take an oath of fidelity, while now not a Union man in Arkansaa or Alabama canl vote, uniless in tile first place lie sweara allegihnco to tile majesty of this Congress, amil, m tile nlext, swears off his Americanism anld Africanlizes hlimslf. H-ithierto Constitutions with us hlave been the outgrowvtli of popular life, springing from the exuberance of our en torprise and energy ill the settlement of tile forests or prairies of our country, but heo before us now are nine CJonsti tultions, with one, ifinlot thiree, more to come from Texas, which have all been imposed tupon the people by five muilita ry satraps or pen tarchs in a inminr never before known tinder our law, but borrowed at best from imperial Roman civilization, or from tile worst prece dents of the Freiich revolution. Firanice is then recorded to have had five Cbnsti tutions in three years; so frequintly made and so frequently changed that they were ironically classed by the French people with the periodicalfhtera turo of the day. Louisiana, a colony of thiat France, has had four Oonsttutions in four years, anid a Constitution there has new. beco;mio periodical literature, as in France in the agomies and throes of the great revolution, Laws, where stat te laws, which can never be created by Constitutions, are appended, more or less, to all thlese Constit utions ; and those bayonets ,created one-branach Govern. mnonts, Withl no Executive, 'no Senate, no House of Representatives, no Judi. clary, luste ordained irrelsealable,, irre versale laws in the very organism of the State-sucoh as cannot thus be crea ted 'by the Exemftivo, the Senate And the House of Representtatives of legiti mate Government~ when acting in uni son and all combined. All this ha. been done without ragard| walks would keep [n some fair grove where fragrant shades repose, or, strolling, court I'he noisy ground of boys and girls to sharo their evening sport. [low changed is all ! In lonely, silent paths I meet 3lildresi in rugs, with wasted cheeks and wounded sun-burnt, feet, Fly haughty plenty oft denied the crumb their hunger craves, rlheir gallant fathers sleeping Ia their lone ly listant graves. fhrough long deserted streets nry sluggish feel In silence go, And now I catch the notes of smothered grief, the wails of woo : liatrons bowed down with years, as Rachel wept, in vain deplore r'heir gallant sons-props of their ago they were--they are no more: [ speak-at once I catch their anxious look, their streaming eyes. Nho heart I have, the arm, the sword, and yet I cannot rise. o hordes of hirelings yourvengeance take, our thirst for blood yo packs of Jackalls slako ; )ring m your death, 'tis life! Oh ! hasto to break 'ho wheel, the silver cord, the golden bowl! )eath is the stillness of my arm, my soul s full of death, 'tis in my loathed parole. n vain I seek the spacious hall, where soft est music fell n ravished ears, and matchless beauty was wont to dwell, 11 sorrow now, decayed the bloom, the fad ed cheek is torn y grief; where blushes were, tlie deep fur rows are by weeping worn; 'he mint!, an Eaden once, is now a wilder ness of cares, 'he heart, so lately life and joy, becomes the haunt of fears. greet-my silent answer comes-a stream ' of silent tears, end yet my true, my proved, unerring rifle harmless sleeps, nad yet my faithful, trus!y sword the rust ing seabbari keeps, ly stuady arm, by frequent combat taught, now helpless lies, ly limbs are bound, while inch by inch my bleeding country dies. 4h I is not this enough this heart to fill i'ith grief? to break my heart, my life to kill ? f worse than this there be, give me the worst, Iy arm still strong, and yet with stillness cursed. 'd rather be the creeping worm, the mole, 'han feed the living death within any soul ly chain is death-death in my loathed pa role. Another Demooratic Row, Now, on tl6 negro suffrage question, aconstruction an the money qucatsiun, ut mainly upon the money question, otwoen the greenbacks or Pendleton ion of the West, and the Chase (old greenbacks himself) and anti-Pendleton ien of the East, there are thickening ymp'.om of another Democratic row. lil the wisdom of Messrs. Comstock id Cassidy, and of Belmont and Bar )w and of hoffman, Wood, Brooks, tynders. Morrissey and Godfrey Gun icr will be required in the, Convention > maintain harmony and brotherly >ve. The two-thirds rule, invented and first pplied by the Southern oligarchy in 844 to kill off Martin Van Buren, has :ado every Democratic President taking convention since that day regular slaughter house, involving a aarful massacre of the innocents. There ras a dreadful slaughter in '44, when 'olk turned up as the lucky man ; a laughter in '48, which resulted in a ran Buren-Chase free soil bolt and the efeat of Cass; a merciless slaughter in 5, when poor Pierce was marched in ver the dead bodies of the slaaa; in '56, theni Buchanan passed the ordeal ona an libi; and ih 1800 caine the grand De iocratic explosion and volcanic crup~ on. a hunadred times more terrific and alamitous than thae late fiery shaking p of the Sandwich Islands. This two. airds rule, so fruitful of Democratic dis ords and disasters, is still the supreme mmv of the party, and within the party amps the old ealements of factiorns an agomasm and eruption still exist. The Pendletona men of the West laim a majority of the Convention. Yhat will they do ? If they have the injority they have the power to upset his ('two-thirds rule; but as this rould probably eil'ect a split at ocime, the xperiment will hardly be attempted. 'endleton's majority, then, will be to am what the natjority was to Van Bu en in '44 and to Cass in 52. It will e worried downm and frittered away, 'he iato speech of Seymour defines the asue which will swamp Pendleton. We iay say that he is already swamped by hat speech. Tit for tat, any Eastern tan representing the financial policy f Seymour will be swamped by Peni loton. What then? Another -poor 'ierce, such as Henadricks, or a new do arturo unider Chase. The Pendleton ioneera are in for a fight, after the ishion of Douglas, against both Sev. iour and Chase. But fromn the South vill come up a force for Chase which ay bring the Pendlemn~ party to the Iternative of a surrender or a bolt. If he Westera Democrats froam tha fate of' )oniglas have learned anything, they will, reduced to this pass, fall into line ; >at if they haave learned nothing anad orgottent nothing, they will bolt.

I laying thanked the convention for the honor of the nomination, and ob serveil that it is a proud position, whenI perilous times come upon a pee ie to be selected as their representa tive by their free choice, General Ston says : It. is not to be supposed that it can have beCen it perfectly free choice in this case- It is not to be supposed that in a Virginia senatorial district, comaprising three large counties, a froc choice should set. aside 'all the gentle. mnlic who were born and bred in the district, and who have lived honored in it from youth up, and select one, who, while yielding to no one int a sicero and earnest devotion to the welfare, and in desire to protect the rights anad advance the interests of the people of the district, yet has been a reiudenit itn it only two and a-half years; one who was horn a Yankee, in 1ankee land, atnd who looks back to live generations of Yankee ancestors, glorying im the lineage.

What a rebuke, says the Baltimore Sun, this is to the tribe of adventur ers. mnmerous as the locusts of Egypt, that have overarun the whole South, absorbing all the oflices, and glorying im that, wh ib should ho their shame. illostof these birds of prey migrato to the South for no other purpose than to gorgc themselves upon what the battle has left. Now a few them have left their own country "for their country's good." Instead of being aslamed to "climb to office by reason of the present peculiar condition of public affairs," they would be asham ed of themselves if they negleted the opphortuanity.

A Tiger at Large in Antworp, A frightful mishap, accomapaiied by til nost tragic circtimstances, spread terror in Sutnday norning last, through t h district of St. J tc1ties. The Zoologica (i lten has for a song tit been in pos session of' two Ill::.nficen. i -ntgal Ti ge'rs, one of which was to be folWttde 1 to Iondot. To avoid accidnt, t aimal was placed in a Wagon secure< w" ith strong iron bars. The, greates precaution was thier'eIro taken to avoid a catast rophe. At 3:30 inl the norninf the Railway servant per'eived att enor 1anons animal clearilng at, a bound the wall which separates th Zoologica Garden from the railway station. 'lil tiger had in fict escaped, having beu1 and brokenl two of Ihe iron bars of his cage. The first object of' his fuy was the cart-horse ofa nightnan which hap. peited to b passing. 'I'he tiger bound. el on tho unfortunate horse, biting hin ill the flank, and teoring the straps which attached him to' the cart. The driver, who at first sought safety on the horse's back, hid himself under the cart but not. before receiving a wound in the leg from the tiger's paw. leantme tie horse, mad with terror and pain, galloped furiously towards the market of St. Jacques, ptrsuted by the tiger. Ihero anotber deplorable event occur red. A gatiener who was passing the st ree. attracted the furty of the beast. ilu tiger sprang at him, tearing his breast. lgs, and neck in a fearful man ner. H armsr finished his victim, the Animal draigged the body some dis:ance ; Ie the abandoned it and rushed into St. A tne's court. whero his pre(setce caused intdiscribablo terror. M. Veke ntians, the direct'ir of the Zoological Garden, having been informed of th. escape, proceeded with his staff in pur -sit, and Came up with the [anmal at the cornor of St Jacgnes street near the house Verstrepeni. A night-watehmanl and three or four otier persons took rffuge i a small shot oppositO this house. The tiger spied them and stood for a moment as though lie intended to a rush at them through the the window. IIe pursued his course, however, through the mtia rket. M.

This showy gieat want ofreflection, and ig norance of the actual condition of things in the country. It presupposes every planter backed by an unlimi:ed supply of the means and material necessary to cotton &c. The planter may want. over so liuclh to make cotton, but iii the first place, ho thinks of cotton Ist year, and remembers how he was caught, and a sad experience warns him ' bo cautious. In the next plice, prudent or not, he knows Ie lits not, and cannot gut the nediit'l this 'excess of cotton to be put ini. "Now to know something--take my Owi case--lad I been ever so much disposed, I could not after the first of Pebruary have planted one singlogacro more than originally intended in odtton, and why ? because the labor could not be had. "William 3iyce & Co. say, 'as large a crop will bo made as last year." The numerous correspondents, for whose opinions they have Ile greatest respect, say, 'No.' So the only testimony worth one cent is disregarded. There is a vast. qianility less in cotton im South westorn Georgia I his year than last. There is less stock and far less labor to cultivate it, and thait labor not nearly so elicient as it was Ist year. "I have observed a great deal this season, and must tell you the ppile.aro paving more attention to corn adi flogs -are planting much less cotton ; that as a general thing the crops do not look as well, the cotton pt:, Lienlarly, having been injured by the eccessive rains; not the case with me, as I planted late. The same is the case all over the coun try. I know no matter what impressions may bo matte to t'io contrary, that a large crop cannot be made this year, and if price is to depend upon the size of our crop, then it will be good."
