[The memory of Stonewall Jackson has
reoeivedfew tributes more touching iu its
slnfjftfcity and pathos, than the following
beautiful poem, published in the New York
Oitizai, of which Charles Gh Halpine is the
editor. Mr. Halpine, himself a poet of rare
taste, was an officer in the United States
army dnring the late war, and was well
koown to fame as "Private Miles O'Riley "
The poemr in qaeston, be says, is from the
pea of a distinguished officer of the United

Beneath the aotl that gave him birth j

And lay It with hi? In the earth.
No more at midnight rhaB be. urged

And still the voice that, trumpet-toned,

Or tents gleam white upon the plain;
Aod where his camp-fires blazed of yore,
Brown reapers laugh amid the grain!
No tuare above this narrow bed
Shall sound the tread of marching feet,
The rifle .volley, and the clash
Of sabres, when the focmeo meet.
And, though the winds of autumn rare,

About his breast?they cannot move

Bill Arp to Mr. Tammany Hall.
Milledgeville, Feb;, 1866
Th-nr Tammnvn -
xYoo are a glorious old feller. You've got
a heart?and if you were here I would exclaim
iu the laogdwage of my uncle Billy,
?pnt your hand in mine, hooey, and kiss
me.' We are whipdatlast, old Tammany.
We rebe are conquered, subjugated, not by
bayonets or bullets, but by your friendly
overtures, your manly speeches. You and
Sonny South Cox and Company have cap
tured us, taken us prisoners, and we are
now as dosile as we% have been hostile.?
Dident I tell you" that we would meet you
on half way growu? Dident we stretch
forth our arms for sympathy, and waseot we
about to turn away in defiance and despair
for the want of it ?
'We spred the mantle of oblivion over
the past. If you of the Soath have the
spirit to accept, we of the North have the
heart to tender you tbeoffisesof kindness
We .will help you plant again the seed,
whose perfect leaves, flowers and fruits shall
be yours with ours to enjoy '
Bid Mr Cox say that, old Tammany, and
did you clap your bands and say 'ongkore '
nr. j j _. . i_
my e are 10-auy arrayea against me contention
concerning the black race, aod are
looking forward to the white race for the
welfare and greatoess of our country.' Aod
dideut you say that, too, oid Tammany?
aod dideot all hands jewbilee and exclaim
"that's it, them's 'em, that's the doktrine,
the nigger may be a big fish, but the white
man is a whale.' And" dideot you all take
another drink on that, Mr. Tammany??
Wiph some of us rebs bad beeu there old
fel, jest to have tecbed tumblers with you.
Thank the Lord that there are good men
North of Dixey. There's a heap of 'em
here, Mr Hall, aod their hearts are jumpin
and a burnpio and a thumpiu as big as
yours. Their hearts were castles, aod their
buzzumB sitadels, but you bare taken 'em.
Don't be alarmed, doot reseed, dont take j
back nutbin - be kulm and sereen, and we
of the rebellious South will wipe out the
last spark of hatred toscoh as you. We are
now wipio away the curses that were upon
our lips We are risin up from our humiliation,
aod like strong men are sbakio the
dust from our garments. Thiuk of it, Tarn
many. What a glorious sight to see a brave
peepul lifted up?a whole nation of white
folks recoDsiled What spirit, what gost,
what inspiration tolk you how to reach us? i
r\cv r4wl tmn bnnw f hut hu noo
"V" JVV4 IIU TT un ncatt. nill'IC j
we was strong, in the same secret comer of
oor buzzums ?
You've got us, Tammany, and w'ell re- 1
spood to you, we'll reinforce yoa. We've
Baid some hard things, Mr. Hall; we've
tried to skorch, and blister and excoriate,,
but you see we were goaded, gored by bulls I
?Trumbulls and Republican bulls. They !
bellered and we pawed dirt. They punched !
us in the cage, and we growled. They put I
tax under our saddles, and we kicked ? i
What else could wo do ? Jest think of it, i
Tammany. Ruined and desolate, the peo- j
nle in mournin and their homes in ashes? j
po luxuries, no comforts, no Christmas
worth a eus, no Santa Claws, no nuthin ??
Coald we lick the hand that laid us low?
?nary time?no never. While we was
stragglio to rise from out the wreck, to
breath the air above us, to take aD invoice I
and see if there was eouf left to live for,
our enemies were ehoutin hit him, kick
him, mash him, smash bim agin.
We were then at the bottom, Tammany.
We didn't know there was any lower deep,
but our enemies were buotin, and they still |
are huntin some deeper pit to put us in,
and some pendulum of Poo to swing and
out us. Well, we ain't heathens, we've been
to meetin, we've seeo mt6shionerys, we've
got churches aDd sermons, and hymn books,
and prayers. We've got pious old men and
wimmeu, and biave hoys, and maidens who
are finished al! the way up like the corners
of a temple. God bless 'em, Tammany,
partickler them last, for in connection
with are oenterd the hopes of posterity
and tho joys of our life. We've all pot
hearts, old Tammany, and there's many
a good Samaritan among tis who Wonldent
pass you by and go over 'on "tire/ tdhdt
side. We've got charity, too, and long
suffering, and patience, and hope / in
abundance, though we caa't,'believe, them
radicals will walk right straight into heaven
without knockin At the door. '.That docktrine
of elektion is a powerful thing, Tarnmany,
but as shore as you are born, it looks,
sorter unconstitutional to u* for them fellers
to enter the celestial oity. They may pass
amendments enurto doit, and I reckon
that's why they are tiokerin at the old deknment
so long; bat somehow or other,
when I hear one of 'em a dyin, my thoughts
nateTrally have a downward tendency. I
oan't help it, Tammany. .
Bat maybe we'll get over sich feelings.
My wife says we will attcrirhik. We are
all right towards you, old Hall, and onr
Legislature have been tryin for about two
mouths to harmonize things generally, and
any reasonable man ought to be satisfide
with the efforts thev have made. But we
can't satisfy them' radikals, I "don't care
what we do. We elekted Mr. Stevens and
Hershei Johnsin to the Senate, and they
are mad about that. - They wanted Josh
Hill and Jeems Johnson becaus they was
Union. Well.dow, .Mr. Tammany, its better
always to take men who have done sumthin
than men who have done nuthin. Mr.
Hill delivered his farewell address before
he was beat, aod he said he would like to
know why we sing hosanna to Andy Johnsin,
who fout agin us, and yet we won't
elekt him who dident That's -what's the
matter, Joshua, if I may be allowed to apostrofize
you, you dident take uo side at all
You say you caD take tho test oath aod git
it. Well, I don't see how exaktly. You
ruu for Governor its Bitty three,: and you
writ a letter agaiu rekonstruktion, and com
pared the Union to r* perclain vane that
was broke, aod couldeat never be mended
agin?no, never.
And dont you know it you'd beet elekted
you would have had to take "the oafh of office,
and be swore to support the Constitution
of the Confederate States so called,
oow deceased But you are smart Joshua,
and it'wasfuDoy what you salcl to the 6eu- (
eral that night, when he axd you if *you
would have taken that oath. You paused
Jousha for nearly a minet It was a miry,
tite question, considerio the poroelain Vase
that was broke. I dont blame you for pausin,
my friend Finally says you, 'Well?
General?I?I?dident?much?expect
to?be?elected.' Bully for you, Joshua
But now about that see saw bisuess you
spoke of, you said in your speech that you j
was playin sec saw in politix, and if your !
end of the plank went down in Goorsty it j
would go up in Washington, by which I |
suppose you meant that you 'was ready to
swap ends jest to suit your pekuliar seckumstanoe;
aud that's what's the matter
agiu Joshua. You have been sec sawin too j
long and cbaogiu ends too ofteu. Twasent
no time to be swappin bosses my friend.
But see here Joshua, Mr. Marshall may
be a clever reporter, but he treated you
badly. He's left out a heap of your speech.
He aint had printed that see saw figer
at all, and it was J assure you a most beautiful
metafbr of speech. And bes left out
them little sparks of Southern patriotism
which you emitted.. Howaomever^ may bo
these thiugs would have been iu the way of
the Washington and of the see saw. I'll
tell you my frieod, where you wasted time
io your remarks. You said that if we dident
elekt you now we might waot you hereafter,
and then we couldent git you. Dont worry
yourself on our akkount. Dont cross the
bridge before you git to it. It will be time
enuf Joshua, for you to refuse when we ax
1 you. We havent been runuin you down to
give you offis, and we aint a goin to. Do
you see saw away on your plank, and take
good care that you dont fall off. Your speech
was'sorter spiteful Joshua, and if reduced
to its gum would read about thus, 'Boys
I'm a whale, 1 am, aod I'm a prophet, and
if vou dont elekt me to the Seoate I'll eo
to Washinton and give you the devil'
Well, we dideot elect him, Mr. Tamma
ny, aod the devil may come- I? the land
gwage uf Patriok Henry, 'let him oomt' ?
I repeat it, sur, 'let him come.' There was
auother candidate, Mr. Hall,, whose name
was Jeemes Johnsin Well, I like Jeems
purty well. He dident run nobody down, :
nor put on airs ' I mqut have voted for him 1
if he had lived io the State, aod I hadeut
liked Hershel better The truth is, I was !
partial to Jtems for his 'old iaog siDe.'? j
He was a powerful war horse iu sixty-one. I
How glorious he tigered at the Columbus \
war meetios. He encouraged the boys a- 1
mazin, and be beat auybody a gittin volun- j
teers. How proud we was ofhim that night, !
when ho una Colonel Sims made friends on i
the stand, and. the Colonel pind a seceshion \
cockade upon Jeems' coat collar. He then !
got inspired, and spoke for two hours in ["
words that breathed of ditches and death, j
j and was full of the spirit of'7.6. His watch- 1
; word were ?Benning and seceshion,' and he
I voted for em both.
Oh, tie's a whaie iu gettiu up a war.?
Alas! he were sik semper, then, but lie are
j sih transit now. So mote it be, Mr. Tarn- j
many ; I couldeci help it. Howsumever,
it don't matter much I reckon, for we've i
got another Johnsin, and they are a high
roostin family, shore.
Now you understand the trouble, Mr.
Tammany, about this elektion. We was \
huntin for two full blooded Union men who j

back without a way bill, and wecouldcntj
tiod em. They aint in the State, I tell yuu.
So we fell back upon the old land marks,
we aro riden the old wagiu bosses, and our
opinious is, that Andy woni raise any row
in partikler about it. If lie docs, ivc don't,
care a darn. Yours truly,
BILL ARB.
P. S.?I'm gittin to be highly loyal Mr. '
Ilall, I know I am; for a feller tried to sell I
me a little nigger to day and I icouhlcnt
buy him. I beard of a bill that's coming
up to biud out the niggers for ninety nine ,
yeajs, and I'm agin it. Darned if I'll vote '
for more than fifty. You can tell Thad Stevens
of these hopeful signs. B A.

Tq the Hon. M. F. Maury Imperial Commissioner
of Colonization r *
Sir : The undersigned havo the honor to
submit the following
* report: '
Immediately after our appointment wo
proceeded, to the District"of Cordova, in
the State of Vera Cruz, for the purpose of
examjog the laqds in that district owned by
the Government. We have visited and
examining the haciendas and lands in said
? . .1 - j -c k.u
uisiricc. menuonea in tne aecree ui uiu
September, 1865. _
' They are situated upoh the pineteeuthi
parallel of Dorth latitude upon a plain whioh
descends from the region, of perpetual
snows, and within twenty-five or thirty miles
of the snow-capped peak of Orizaba. The
attitude of this plain is about twenty-eight
hundred and fifty feet above the level of
the sea, giving a Climate whiob is positively
delightful, where it iu never too warm to
wear cloth clothes aod to sleep under a
blanket with comfort and rarely cold enough
to wear an overcoat. We are informed by
intelligent persons who have lived in the
country for many years that the extremo
variations of the thermometer will not exceed
twenty degrees.
The soil is extremely fertile and highly
productive, abounding in every variety of
tropical fruit, and of the finest quality.
Yielding under the present imperfect system
of cultivation large crops of corn, barley,
rioe, tobacco, sugar cane aod coffee,
with almost every variety of vegetable,
while that portion of the lands nearest the
aoast produces heavy crops of cotton of an
eteellent quality. Under a proper system
of cultivation we are satisfied that these
lands may-be made to .produce equal .to any
that we have ever seen We find mahogany,
ocdar, oak and other valuable timber in
the forest, while the orange, lemon, lime,
fig, guaynva and vanilla grow luxuriantly io
the woods. These lands are, io our opin-.
ion, admirably adapted to the purposes of
colonization. Considering soij, cJimate, Io
cation'aod-variety of -crops, we know of no
better, H,*rodeed, we have ever seen so de
sirable a country for agricultural -pursuits.
Some of them lie upon and all in reach
of the railroad from Vera Cruz to the ity
of Mexico, the most distant being within
twelve ujifes Of' the'road and about seventy
from the City'uf Vera Cruz, and from fifteen
to twenty miles from Passu del Macbio,.
to which point the road is cow in operation
We are assured by the people of the
country that two crops ot corn can be raised
upon thfc same lands each year, and from
what we have seen we arc satisfied that the
custom of the country is to raise a orop of
corn and a crop of tobacco on -the same
laod, the corn ripening before the usual
time for tobacco planting.
Coffee is extensively and profitably cultivated
in the immediate vicinity of these
lands. The excellent quality of the coffee
grown here in times past give it high rank
in the coffee markets of tho world
The cultivation of the coffee crop is
simpie, ea*y- and oheap, producing anuually
from a thousand to fifteen hundred pounds
per acre.
' The absence of any loyal cause of disease
and the health and robustappearunce of the
people living upon this plain give amplo
assurances as to the health of the country.

they wiH complete the Sarvey within a

will commence by about thirty American
immigrants, who arc now here awaiting th'e
completion of tfie survey.
Immediately upon seeing these immigrants
furnished vfrith lands we will proceed
to the examination of Zougolica and Jalapa
lauds, upon which we hope to "be able to
report very soon. Respectfully submitted,

Cordova, Novemter 14, 1865
High Testimony in Behalf of tiie
South ?When the Senate of Virginia was
ibout to adjourn, u unanimous vote of thanks
jnd approbation was tendered Lieutenant
Sovernor Cowper, the presiding officer of
that body, who responded in a handsome
speech, which was published iu our col
arnns yesterday. From that speech we cull
the following :
"And I-believe solemnly that, of all the
citizens of the United States, the people of
the Southern States are decidedly the most
thoroughly loyal to the Constitution, And
these arc the sentiments of the Chief Magistrate
oj the nation?nay, 1 know it?and
they are the sentiments of the best part of
his Cubmet, who are uow, to day, standing,
supporting and encouraging the Executive
id the position he has taken."
These are not the words of what is called
"a rebel." They are the words of an original
and consistent Union man, who opposed
seceslon from first to last; and who, for his
fidelity to the Union cause, was elected by
the Unionists, under the Alexandria Con
stitutiou, to the high position he now fills. I
1 ins testimony to the loyalty or me ooutnern
people deserves therefore to be written
in letters of gold ?Richmond Whij.
Tiie next Cotton Crop.?In the
March number of Dc Boies Review, the editor,
who has just completed a tour through
he cotton States, estimates the next cotton
jrop ut not more than one million five hunircd
thousand hales. Ho adds :
"These figures are not likely to be injreased
by anything that is now to happen,
ind may be greatly reduced by the ignormce,
neglect or desertion of the laboring
lorces, which, judging from the experience
>f all other countries, is more likely to oe;ur
than not, and reduce the crop to one
trillion or one million two hundred thous- '
ind bales. No account is taken in the cal- ;
iulatiou of the application of white labor to ;
:otton, beyond what was applied to it be- j
ore the war. The extensive mortality of |
he war has made whito labor at the South j
rery scarce, and so far it is absorbed in the I
lecessary pursuits of the mechanic arts and j
rado, which have been furnishing most i
ucrative employment. The wear and tear j
md frightful destruction caused by the war
opeoBti'otfiiT channels" of employment besides
agriculture The increase of white"
labor at the South, s<r far as the next crojf
is concerned,* from immigration, is too trifling
to be taken in "account The trggregirto
number of laborers introduced' is insigtiiffcaot,
and so ftr is hrrg'ely'absortfed in thecities."
