Cincinnati, on the 7th instant. At she this celebration the oration was do- inst livered by General Stewart L. Wood- tific ford, of Now York, and from this to t1 oration we make the following ex- feni tracts : 000 The morning crept slowly on-first tera into gray dawn, then Into rosy deol flush. Still on I still on I The mists go tj crept upward and into line you piy wheeled, and on your muskets lay to a down, each man in place, to get scant rest, which even in the exhaustion of those thirty-six hours of terrible marching, you neither sought nor 7= heeded. You were squarely across W Lee's front, and had closed forever his last line of retreat. The enemy reaching your cavalry advance, saw the serried line of Union troopers. Gordan gathered iOg and massed his men for their last men charge. Tattered and hungry, worn of t by ceaseless marching and fighting, with no hope of victory, with little 07' possibility of escape, they closed narj their lines with a fidelity of rent discipline and a soldiery resolu- suot tion, to which words can do little 'ro justice-but which each soldier's diffi heart must recognize and honor. As the old guard closed around it l their E mperor at Waterloo, so these Van men closed round the flags of their int< lost cause. My heart abhors their Istal treason. But it warms beyond re- due straint to manhood so grandly brave, even in disloyalty. Slowly they ad. vancod to their last attack. No bat- tion tle yell, no orack of the skirmisher's act rifle broke the strange stillness tof and that Sabbath morn. Steadily, silent. ly they came, when Sheridan drew eve back his horsemen, as parts some firs mighty curtain, and there stood the app olose.fortned battalions of your infau- our try, the cannon gleaming in the our openings, quietly awaiting the coming par of Gordan's men. Instinctively your enemy halted. the Meanwhile Leo has turned bock to seci meet Grant and surrender his com. pro mand. Sheridan swung his cavalry nen around upon Gordan's left, and was the about to charge, when Custar reached Longati ot. Assurance of surrender ext was given, and the end hadj come. que That Sabbath day, with tears and truo in sorrow, Southern men folded the ted banners of the "Lost Cause," and their bravest and best sought honora. da bly to bury them from sight for- bay over. Sha How sad it is that poor ambitions, wh4 jealousies of race, the wretched greed sha of pelf and place, and the miserable hatera,of social rivalries, should so of often disturb the hearty reconoilia. stri tion of that surrender and for a time Sur revive the bitterness which you then kee sought to bury in a common grave. tat( Tihis hour is no time for politics. lMine not the lips, I trust, to intro- twe duco them here. But when I think The of that heroc past, which your faces wit1 and presence so vividly recall, and pou then how trading, trickster politi- in t cians, forgetful of what baptism of. blood sealed the new birth of the na- tiol tion seek to array,races in needless the hostility, to excite 'the ignorance of rise the one and the brutal prejudices of for the other, I would like to summon a be guard, half from the rebel army of .e northern Virginia and half from the m loyal army of the l'otoumao, take such zati malcontents out, give thoem drum- reli, head court martial, immediate exeen- mis tion anid soldierly burial under the an apple tree at Appomnattox. ao u The Nation that Died Ia lis Birth, bias Throughout Southern land, where- rejen ever there was a heart-beat of proper the humanity or a generous glow of affec oth1 tionate remembrance, fell a pall of pain and a drapery of sadness on the omi Tenth of M~ay. now It was the day of the "dead who wel died for us," tihe day sacred to the peri memory of the hero-band who wont ro forth to the Shadow,y Lands as typesre of the chainloss spirit of the Southern can people, bro i 6With pious, devoted love we cherish the,memory of their lofty virtues, of we their unselfish, ehivalrous devotion to to principle, of their sublime nobleness de and purity and heroism.

Consequentl, with great diffidence that we ad oe our ideas, lest we may be Ie i error, and there Is too much i :a to venture an opinion withoi deliberation. ro one 'can gainsay this propos , that it becomes our people so I as.to avert the ruin, both materii political, that threatens them < ry side. Self-preservation is ti .law of nature, and is certain] licable just at this time, and i particular case. The struggle < part is for actual exibtcnc ty supremacy, and maintenance )retioal ideas of government, a: mndary considerations, and cannc perly speaking, attain any prom ce in a political campaign who alternative is an approximation )rmination. The all-importai stion is, shall we again rise to tI i level of our raco, or be humili under the feet of an Ignorant at gerous eleme#, backed up by t onets of an unscrupuloue tyrav 11 we step aside to consid, ther or not this or that parl I gain the mastery, and loose sig] hat great end which we have be< ving -to reach so long a tin ely our people appreciate ti aly their serious condition to hes for a moment in deciding b en the alternatives presente, people of this State, in conmm< ithe whole South, have it in the or to accomplish their redemptic lhe approaching Presidential ele, , provided they feel sufficienti gravity of the issues involved1 above party considerations, ar once act purely with a view ofitting their own status, and ni ~he interest of a national organ an. As we have bAfore said, oi af from Radical oppression an rule can only be brought about I dion of all good citizens withoi mrd to political associations< i, and it is worse than madness et the opportunities' offered, an overtures made to us. To r ir circumstance can we look f< neipation from the shackles thei bind us, and the misfortunes the kus down, and retard our pro ty. We must teach ourselves gnize this fact in its real signil se, for sooner or later we will 1 aght to a realization of its truth. fith these considerations in vies ~egard it the duty of our peep: upport Horace Gree!oy for Pros b, abstain from a State Conve' ,and not participate in the moo at Baltimore. We may be t in thus expressing ourselves, bi convictions are honest and sii r, and until further development are vain enough to believe thi position taken by us is a corre< Grant or Ereeley l 'here is no doubt existing at th~ B but thirt U.

Mr. Vor o hees may establish this point to his own satisfaction, but ho can rest s sured that no honest man in the whole southern country can ever be induced to cast a ballot for a man who has ridden rough-shod over their a liberties with his hireling soldiers, and rendered desolate their homes and firesides. Nor can we have confi. 0 denco in Mr. Voorhees' professions of .0 love for the South, if he is disposed to ' offer such advice to us. Tth people of the South are learning to distiu guish properly between true and pro. I fessed friends, and to consult their a own welfare without regard to the Y opinions of the National Democracy. V, It the struggle for the Presidency be only between Grant and Greeley, our whole people will vote for "the It later Franklin," wha has for four it years proclaimed for awnesty, local self-government, and constitutional liberty. A Anmesty at Last. >n The latest despatches from Wash. ie ington confirm V)e joyful news that at ly last the United States Congress has in been worked up to the point of grant. n ing a boon to the South long withheld. e. We refer to the passage of a General Df Amnesty bill, whicb, while not uni. re versal, restores all the ights of citi. it, zenship to every one in the late Cot i. federacy, except about two hundred re persons. Under the head of the ex. to ceptions are included members of 3t 36th and 37th Congresset ; military, ie naval, and judicial officers of the gen. a- eral government ; heads of depart. id ments, and foreign ministers. ie The friends of amnesty in both ,t. branches of Congruss have boon trying Br for several years past to have a mens ly uro of this kind enacted, but up to the bt beginning of the present session, no m spirit of liberalism ha9 seemed to ac 1? tuate the tmembers of the party in )> power, and it is only since the mark. i. ed progress of the Liberal novement, e- and the significant gathering at Cin I. cinnati, that the Senate has changed mn its views as a body upon go plain a ir subject. We will go so far as to say in that we believe the South is idebted a to the Cincinnati 'Convention fur this Ly amnesty. The Radical Republicans to have become greatly alarmed at th: Ld agnitude of the Greeley party, and to hope to offset Greeley's popularity ins >t the South by offering general amnesty. i- But they should remember that "the ir white hat philosopher" is the father d of the amnesty proposition, not gen y eral amanesty, such as is now teni it dored, but universal amnesty, with no rt ceptions whatever. This is wvhat o0 we claim, and what simple justice do d mands for us. Nor can we say that 0 we are thankful even for general am ir neety, inasmuch as we are of the t opinion that the exigencies of the it times have forced the Grant Radicals s- to give it, and not a desireo to perform, o a generous act. i With universal amnesty alone will e come genuine and lasting p"aco, and actual recotnstruction.

SAN US [COMMUNJOAUD.J Mr. Editor: The very valuablo and timely services frequently rendered to the community by the Hook and - Ladder Company, have demonstrated the importance of an efficient Fire Department. The young men of our town give their ti%e and labor In the pro tection of our property, with a cheerful alacrity which should prompt us, tle men of family and owners of property, to pro mote in every way their interest and e.i eiency. These ideas are suggested to us by hearing of the desire of the Company to make necessary repairs and improve. ments to their apparatus, and it is the ob ject of the writer to urge all interested to further their laudable scheme. Let us all respond liberally to-the modest dem.nds they may make upon us to thus stimulate this seal and strengthen their hands in the good work. "ENIOR." Mr. EdeIur : "Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorieus summer by the son of York." I have konkluded to riteyou a tow lines, thes lines leves me and mine ivell, and hop. ping they will find you enjoying the same blessing. I will comnionse to rite! We'uns are hihty drie. and our craps is suffering, that id what, is up, all of our craps aynt up yet, but what is up Is wantirig rano. As I kant plow, I got hold of Mr. Shakespere's actor book and the Carolinian anu seed that tie Demykrats is going to hold a kon venshun in South Carolina. I did'nt set this in Mr. Shnkespere's book, but In the Carolinian. I don't know if .\Mr. Shake. spore ever herd of the Demykrats, and I did'nt know we had any Demykrats ir South Carolina, I thot they hnd all jined the Reform party when Mr. Skot and Mr, Karl-enter runed for Guvner, but as I live off the rode and don-t sce the papers, cep tin' when I kin borrow the Squire's, I low how I was mistaken. We do -a go for Mr. Greeley and Mr. Brown round about leer, we kan't go for Ginera. Grant for lots ol reesuns and a heep of ihings. You see Gineral Grant duH put his kin fokes in oflis when thoy aynt fittin to fill the places. Now, don't understand me to go ginst ihe Gineral for taking care of his p.or kin, but then if they wil steel,.be oughten to put umt where they is led- into temtashun and kant, do the work that,oughter be dust, this aynt rite no how; Then lae dais make Sandstone tradei'and Saynt Dominger bar gains, they say heaps of money Is made on the sly this way. Then lie does talk big to Inglan and when Inglan (loes talk bnck big about the kcnsequenshal damages, then t.he gineral begins to look'round to see if he kan crawfish, lhe is sorter in hopes tice S9inate iiil mako a hole for him, all of this you kniow does bring shame on our kountry. Bitt then you know, we does know, that everyl.ody does know that Gineral Grant nynt got mucha sense, cepain to know htow to take all the presents that thte fellers who does want olliasis does give to ham. l'his is a great konsolashaua. Wonder if Inglan kant give him a present if lae draps the konsequenshal damages. Now we dent agree with Col. M%oshy, thaat we ought to make a bargain with Gineral Grant, and our git. him to make a big bid at Filidelfy for voses. Now, we kant make a bargin with Gineral Grant no htow, for we kant truss him, you know how heo made a b'argin with Andy Johnson bout. thea war ofliis, and when Andy wanted to hold him to the bargin, Grant told him a big - and denied all bout the bargaIn-then we kant truss what ho says, cause he talks peeco and wants war, lie ays let us have pece, and turns rouand and ays we has Clue Clucks, and senads a haole lot of fellows disgiaed with bla caps and cnteCs, and elaine, buttons, and lite bIu pants, and guns, and baynets, who does take our fellers out of bed, all unbe knowlin to uim. anad carry umn away, and wot tel tum whtats the matter. Ilurrah for Grant's pecce Now, all this atid a hteep more does make us go ginst Gineral Grant, too numerous to miention. We have sed tnder no konsiderne'hun wil we go for Gin eral Gr'ar.t, and we is for Mr. Greeley, and we wil stick to that, and burn our briges behiandl us as tlte Cinsynaitty fellers did.-. Now, Mr. Edetur, we aynt got no confi dens in thte Demnykratick party So we htad bet ter not hIi oh ouirselves to tI-at part y. Many o~ te l)emykas ias mnisly hongry for offisis. Sum judglaes, what was Denmykrats, trta grit to the baek hone, when ofl'iais was to be llad Is tnowg all over, Gr6nt radioals, and wont go for Mr. Greeley ; kaso Grant radi k-als votes is the mnostest in South Carolinia. Now, w a is got konufadense in 41r. Greeley, for is an honest matn, morally and politikal ly, bosh his filends and his einmies says thais of him, and jinat about now, In these titaes of epidemikal oflishual koruapshumn, ilais is a good deal to ay, and goes a long ways to make a feller truss him. iIe has alwas stuck to prynsipels anti worked with that party, who had( his foretroat pry2si pels on th' widest plank in there flattfornm. Mlr. Greely~ Is a yhylanthrowgist by natur, sand hais lire Is but the dlevelopemuent of his cretade. M'r. Greeley Is in daed earnest, bent on exposing and bringing to punaish.. maent:al cffishut eortupshtaan, andlis powerful hostylo to sqafywag and earpet-bag offishul dtate plunderers. (We have to pay mIghty big takes to keep these fellers emaployed.) You know Ginoral Grant ayn't (speok may. be. time; does give him presents ) Mr. G(repley's humanity teem the pint he . did stand. was hanaatte. opp.M to a-.r and did rite with his pen to stop slavery I rom; spreading, and going into the terry torys, abd when the South seeseded, al tho' Mr. Greeley was a strong Union man, sed,'iuther than have blud sheddin, let the erring sister States depari in pace, that is jl they asked for. Th * South went for prynsipels, and as Mr. Greely was a man of prynsipels, he was for letting them alone, hnd when the United i1es, by there over whelming numbers and resources, overrun the Konfederaoy, Mr. Greeley wanted to set rite about healing the wounds of war, and wanted Kongress to grant gineral amnasty. The same humane pryneipet that, made him go bale for Mr. Jefferson Davis, mado him go for what he thot was rite about giving niggers rites before the law. Now, Mr. Edetur, human natur will be human natur and if we give Mr. Greeley a big, hard lift to put him In the White House, it wil make Mr..Greeley have a warmer spot Iiu his heart for the South. Mr. Greeley was the first edetur who started this new party in the United States, and the Cynhanatly fellers has said this when they nomInated him for Prysideat, and Brown was the first man who started this party in bieaury, and the Miezury fellers acted this when they let 60,000 Konfederates become sitizens and lowed them to vote, and made Gratz Brown, Guy ner of Miszury and sent Blair to the U. S. Sinate. But, Mr. Edetur, I havo sed enough, and send you a pece from the pa, pers to put in your paper, it has got a mighty good nome to it, wonder if he aynt kin to Giner.%l Washington.

Paul's epistle to-the Canadins far tished a test for an' Indiana *olored Both bides of a Ca;o Argued by Tooumbs. Toombv, of Georgia, is oe of. the most gifted of all the erratio geniuses that America bas yet produced. Like Tom Marshall and William Haskell, he is a natural born arator. Mr. Clay hoard him make one of his.firat political speeches at a mass meeting in Georgia in 1840, and predicted for him then a brilliant future. It is re lated of Toombs that on one ocoasion, in the trial of a very important case before a Georgia jury, ho by some strange absence of mind, got up and made a powerful speech against his client, who was the plaintiff in the case. After be had spoken nearly an hour, and was about to close, one of his associate counsel whispered in his ear that he had made a mistake that he had spoken on the wrong side. For a moment only Toombs was per fectly dumfounded, and recovering immediately he turned to the court and jury and said : "Now, may it please the court, and you, gentlemen of the jury, I have in my remarks hitherto, attempted to give you all and the very best, too, that can be said on that side of the case ; and though it may appear at first I. lush a very strong case, yet I am conafdent, if you will give me your attention a little while longer, I will be able to convince you that, after all, my client, the plaintiff, Is intitled to a verdict at your hands." He then proceeded to overturn every position previously taken by him, exerting himself to the uttermost of his wounded ability to repair his mistake, and wound up with an appeal to the court and jury so thrilling that he carried them by storni, and triumphantly gained the case for his client.-Lexington (Ky.) Yeomnen. The Satanic for War. The effect of the recent treaty ne gotiations on the New York HerAld is truly startling. It comes boldly to the front with fiagq flying, drums beating and guns leveled, and breathes out threatenings and blaughter a.ainst the British Government, the while it soundly cudgels and belabors our own. The whole controversy it considers a hollow mockery, in view of the "hu ltiliating knowledge" that while we bvb altogether the best of the argu ment, we "weaken" before the 6su perior boldness" of the English states men, and degrade ourFelves by enter tainiing their "insolvent demand" for our "unconditional surrender." The "timr.idity or incapacity" of our diplo matic offioers receive the sharpest scourging which the Herald thong is capable of inflioting. "We have had quite enough," it says, "of weak fish j.:lly fih and Spaniards maekeral in our diplomac." Those among the Senators who counsel the "infamous surrender" will also be pilloried by an avenging publio, and secret diplo Inatio negotiations have hud their d1y. As far thn "ommnorcial fos.ils and charlatans" who counsel an ac ceptunce of the "nation:l di grace," IId a consumption of humble pie ad lbitu1n, the Herald has no words to adequately express its supreme dis. dain. Grant's Frltnd Vainly Using Soft Solder on JCffct son Davis. TAhere was a little social gathering hore a few evenings ago. A umber of P'hiladelphians belonging to the Loyal League dined with aIlr. Jefferson Davis, the ex-President of the Con federate States. The Loyal Leau guers are warmuu friendis of President Grant. Among them was Mr. D. Doehiarty, Mr. George W. Chuilds, and Morton McMichael. They all felt for Mr. Davis. They drew illus trations to prove that Grant was very magnanimous toward the South. Mr. D.avis sipped his champagne and looked at the Leaguers with his piere. lng gray eyes, but said notbing. TIhen one of these gentlemen poured out all the eloquence of lis soul in depicting the dee-> and earnest symn patby felt for the South by Grant from the time of Lee's surrender up to the present. Mr. Davis still sip. ped his champagne anid was silent. Af ter listening twenty minutes longer to the Loyal Leaguers, ho assured them that a friend in need was a was friend indeed, and that they might take it for granted that as far as he and his house wvere concerned they would support Old Honesmy. The Loyal Laonguerb thens disappeared like a flock of blackbirds. Enemnlcg. They who are very successful in busines4, who achieve greatness, no toriety in an.y pursuit, must expect to make enemies. So prone to petty jealousy and sordid envy is poor ha. man nature, that whosoever becomes distinguished is sure to be a mark for the malicious spite of those who, not deserving success themselves, are en.. vious of the merited triumph of the more worthy. Moreover, thme opposition which originates in such despioablo motives is sure to be of the .ost un scrupulous character ; heaitating at tio iniquity, riescending to the shab-. biest littleness. Opposition, if It be .honest and wnanly, is not in itself un desirable. The competitor in life's. struggles who is of true mettle, de-| precates not opposition of an honoera ble character, but rather rejoices in it. It is only injustice or meanness which ho deprecates ; ar.d it is this which the successful must :neet, pro portioned in bitterness; often tienes to the measure of success which excites it.
