This world has fallen almost, To the very last notch on the stiok, It grieves me to see it, thus lost, And covered with sinners so thick, The folks are all on a level, Each one Is absorbed in himself, And they all seem bound for the devil, Or governed by some wicked elf. Even the preachers'have taken to farming Or selling whiskey to darkies at night The idea indeed is slarining, That a preacher should get in that plight. As sooti as the spring time commences, They turn out their cattle by the fleet, And utterly regardless of fences,. They jump over and eat other folks wheat Sun.lay they look iniiocent, as the dt,ve tha is cooing, 11er notes among the green boughs. But on Monday Ihey'll be at court sneing, The neighbors for killing their cows. The notion itself is right funny, But indeed it is quite a rule, That a pieneher for the snk3 of money, Should teach. un Sunday, a free negr scliool..... -. I'm grieved, I'm grieved, alas! That the world has fallen so low, And sroiety has come to the pass, That you don't know a friend from a foe Backsliders, I must tell you good bye, And that with a very good graoe, But if you don't froni your wickedness fly, in heaven you'll nc'Or find a place.

Mr. Do loach gave this account of the inoidont to .the Memphis Post: "Soon after Memphis was captued General Grant commenced extending his lines in this direction.. Sherman and IlIurlburt advanced from. Corinth, and had reached Moscow and Lafay. etto, Our scouts were traversing ' the.intervening country, and it was regarded as virtually in Federal occu pation. General Grant was eager to reach Memphis, and started without a strong escort to ride towards the city. IIe reached Mr. Deloach's house near noon on a hot day, in June, accompa nied by fourteen staff officers and or derlies. . Mr. Deloach was known through the scouts,, to be a reliable Union man, .and General. Grant greet. ed him warmly, and, having dismount edi asked for -water. This. was brought, .and Mr. Deloach offered the General a Nort,hern paper which he had just received.. Ile eat eagerly reading, when a neighbor known as a violent,rebel, came in and took a soat. In a few minutes a colored boy enter-. -od by.a back door, looking much per turbed and alarmed. lie1. beckoned to Mr. Deloach, and whispered to her that Jackson's rebel cavalry had, en oaiupod just back of 1Ir.. Deleach's plantalion. the night previous, and were then breaking up and preparing. to move.. Mr. Leloaoh -copimuioat od this,in greatalarp;: but.in. trict secorecy, to her husband, for their re bel.neighbor was watching, as tlley supposed, and would denounce. them if he observed any indication of friendliness to. the Union General.. Mr, Deloach at once returned to the room, much excited, as.he says, but he.is informed by the President that he caught a wink from him and a nod of the bead toward ,the.road leuding to Mlmphis .:Goneral.Grant imipe-. diately. arose, and -said.qietjly, that they had a :long ridq beforp thom,.ail niustdeoline Mrs. Deloach's invitation to. dinner, Mr. -DeLoach followe4. them to the gate and informed the General of his danger, suggesting that their pafety would depend, upon .the fpegd of ,t eir horses. They. left at full gallop, and .when they had rode about two wiles they caught sight of a squad of mounted men coming down aoross road, and were unable to de cide to which side they blonged. General Grant told'his escort that their only safety waa to 6harge through this squad, tf tlhey were rebels, as a heavier foice was bobind them.. They quickened thoii-pace,and were agree bly rlived soon to discover, that it wac a party, pf our. own soquts, who had just been reconnoitpring Jackson's pQvepients. .3ut in .a, few' miputes after .they, bad left , ) .

The Plains, The following was received at Lieu tonant-General Sheridan's headquar ters to-day, May 3d : Writing under date of farch 28 from Fort Sully, General D. S. Stan ley say: "Everything'that hs been done to make peace with the Sioux as a nation is an entire failure. The In dians are - just as far from peace as they were two years ago. They have boasted, while near this place, of hav ing killed white 'mei this winter over on the platte, and of tealing horses. I believe there are war parties out now to depredate on the line of the Pacific Railroad. Their hostility may run on in the same *ay without showing itself only by, an oocasional murder, though I fear it:may develop a worse form in the way if heavy at tacks on the frontier.

Paoiflo Railroad. HOW TRAVEL 18 TO nE CONDUCTED. In expectation of the j'tictiOn of the two roads, the CentrAl and thu Union Pacile, both companies have made am= ple preparations to accommodate trade and the travehng public. The first thing upon which they had to agree was, of course, the rate of paa4ngn fron oeean to ocean. The respective offlceri of the companies were in cdnsnltatioin yesterday, and they came to a tempora ry understanding that the fare frQm; New York to ban Francisco for mi gtant and second class passengers should be $76, and for first clays passengers $175. In regard to the charge to for through freight nothing definite. has yet been arranged, but a tariff will be determined 9n in a few days. It is expected that the trip from shore to shore can be made in between six and seven days. - For the present the time ofruning w,l' be rather ulo"y. er, as the track is new atld wants b,l I4dting and "surfacing." After that, whIt from running trains (lie proper firmness is gained, the tipne will be some. what inside of at y days. So that, a per. son leaving New York on Mondav morning manty spend his next Sunday in si ht of the Golden Gate of the Pacific. Union Company, tl well Aa. the Central, have each over 2,000 freight cars tn re'adiness to transport Whatever of merchandi:ie may offer, and while the first has over 150 locomotives, the latter counts 190, all in good work. ing order. They were all nmade in the Eastern States, excepting two, which wero constrnctod at San 'rancisco. Tlv Centrail hurre wood only in theit en gines. The Union was formnnate enough to find heavy and extensive coal b.d on the government lands donated along thu line, snficient, to yield thetn fuel for e't. tures to come, and they had their loco motives constructed to burn coal and they mine the material themselves. Un passenger trains everything will be proviiled that the wants.f man may suggest, Sleeping cars, drawing room cars fd;adies, etluon cars fArgeutlemen, restaurant car, with kitchitta on wheel,, in fact, everything that a first class ho tel in a city can olter, witl there be found in the comparatively small limit of a ra,l way train. A ndt, iae been stgested--and the suggestion is not; a bad one-that to each train there should be added a printing car, where, every mornittg and evening, the news from the East and the .Veat may be githered at the telegraph stations, put mo type and printed inl sheets, so that, the traveling passengers, during the geveral days on the route, may have the regular ngrung papers as well as their moals. No name ,as vet been fixed upon for the place where the two toads cottnect. Union City, lunction City and other names have been proposed ; but nor.e of them is as yet approved, though it is probable th1, before many days the name of the "groat city" yet to spring into life, pti4whero the East and Vest will shake their iron hands and ex change greetings, will finally be deter mined- .ierald.
