GIRLS GATHEEU.\U SNOWDROPS.
Now past ?way is wintry night.
Comes back again the sunshine bright,
The golden flow of ruddy light.
And birds are ou the wing ;
The breaking buds are growing rod.
And purple turns tho violet bed.
The yellow primrose show, its bead
lu bright and early spring.
Keeii ts the air, tbc ponds still freeze,
lite tang?*! brauches ou tho tree*
Still bare to shudder 'neath tho breeze.
Though merry mortals sing ;
Whilst foremost in tho floral race
The modest snowdrop idtows it-* face.
And purely, sweetly takes its place
As first-born child of fepring.
Then bright eyed maidens, young and fair.
The snowy blossoms cull with care,
To twine them in their jetty hair.
Whilst merry voices ring ;
For what thins they of care or grief.
Of winter's chill or autumn's leaf.
That life ta sometimes sad and brief?
With them 'tis ever spring !
Though seasons quickly come and go,
Great joys are theirs, few cares they know,
And heed not-it were better BO
What summer days may bring
Laugh on, fair girls 1 and often stay
To pluck sweet blossoms on your way,
and gather snowdrops while you may
For 'Us not always spring 1

Gsawal Sickles ?ad thc National Intelli?
gencer.
Some days since the National Intelligencer pub?
lished a very severe attack upon General SICKLES,
The following communication in ana wer w as written
by one of the worthy, respectable and learned
gentlemen of this State, and published in the In?
telligencer of the 11th :
To the Editors of the National Intelligencer.
In the National Intelligencer of the 20th April,
nuder the title of " Reconstruction-Th9 rower of
Congress," is a seeming criticism of-but a bitter
attack, in fact, upon-the action and motive of the
General Commanding in the Second Military Dis?
trict, which merits reply, not less for justice to the
officer who is arraigned, than Deoause of the ten?
dency it may have to mislead. The Orders No. 10
which have been published by General Sickles,
furnish the text for the commentaries which are
made in the National Intelligencer, and the re?
marks condemnatory of these orders, require a
plain and distinct contradiction of much, if not all,
that has been stated.
In the first place, it is well that it should be un?
derstood that the States of North and South Caro?
lina are no parties to the issue which has been
presented to tue Supreme Court, and m which the
authority of that tribunal has been invoked to de
? feat the pla i of reconstruction adopted by the
Congress of the United States for the ten seceding
States. It is behoved that the Governors of both
States have refused to unite in or be concerned in
that issue, and have used, as they are still using,
, their authority and influence to accomplish the
restoration of these States according to the re?
quirements of the act of Congress.
, . .In the next place, it is well also that it should be
......understood that between the Commanding General
of this military department and the Governors of
? the two States of which it is composed, there is ac
7* cord in sentiment and concert in purpose. And
? ; surely no more perfect and gratifying evidence of
,"' this can be found than in the conference between
them which has recently taken place. In that cou
. ference everything tended to confirm the respect
and strengthen the confidenco they mutually en?
tertained.
. ' . lt is proper also that it should be well under?
stood tnat the circumstances which rendered
necessary the Orders No. 10 were of the gravest
.. kind-a population in the midst of which was
.' starvation, and added to the horrors of which was
the aggravation of a severe enforcement of tho
remedies of the creditor; so severe that it had al?
ready affected the sense of private obligation, and
: - wis rapidly tending to a disturbance, if not the
overthrow, of public order.
' JJ, is proper also that it should bo weU under
- ?feood 'that thia' condition of the people of the
' Stat? waa not exceptional; that it was not' the ex?
aggerated appr?hension of a few, but a terrible
truth as totne general condition of the pallia?
tion, the existence and intensity of which was so
positively and clearly produced before the Com?
manding General that he could not reject the evi?
dence, and receiving the evidence, to have pos?
sessed the power by which it could be relieved and
withhold its exercise he would have done violence
- to every suggestion of humanity, and been untrue
' to the duty with which he was charged-the high?
es ^ of public duties, lo save, and not to destroy,
the people for whose government ho had been se 1
beted.
It is proper, also, that it should be well under?
stood that by the constituted authorities, aud by ;
the people of these States, the orders which are
challenged as an act of wrong and oppression have
.' been accepted as measures stamped with benevo?
lence and saving a people from intense suffering.
. And this is abundantly shown in the marked approv?
al which has been given to these orders by those
who are' in authority in these States, by the lan
of the press in these States, and still more
'ly by the proceedings in all the primary
ws of the people which have yet been held.
. ? It is proper, also, that it should be understood
that this manifestation of the temper and purpose
r. :, with which an dior which the great po wer gi ven to
V"' the Commanding General has been exercised has
secured for the measures proposed by the Congress
fox-the restoration of these States a prompt and
ready acquiescence and support, which, under tho
.circumstances, might have been delayed; and that
when, under the influence of such orders, res to ra?
tion, is accomplished; not only in words, but in fact;
when. by the exercise of the power of the Com?
manding General, tho past becomes forgotten, and
haia able to say to the people of the United States :
These two States are now nt to be roe to red-most
- happily restored, when all alienation is now re?
moved-and the people of these States ajcept the
.. measures of Congress as the tests by which they
ere to be "tried in their fitness for restoration, and
.i to that telt the people have submitted ; sud in so
".'...* doing have proved their fitness ; the Commanding
. General will have done to his whole country a sor
Woe than which none could be more honorable.
The good and wise men within the limits of this
departo ont fully appreciate tho labors and diffi?
culties of his position ; and the good and wise
within tile same limita will give all the aid they
can to accomplish what they BO muoh require
what be so much desires. It may do for those
' who are at a distance and at ease tb criticise the
, . degree of heroism which they are not obliged t>
- illustrate, and speculate upon the performance of
duties for which they are not responsible ; but
when the administrator of the highest public trust
Is conscious t ) Mapaalt of the rectitude of his pur
'" pose, and the people affected by its exercise are
not only satisfied, but thankful for and approve
that exercise of power as merciful and just, it
. would seem, at best, but a -very gratuitous and
quixotic benevolence to find cause for sorrow in
(hat which cives peace to the land, protection to
-persons, aha security for property.
'If we como now to tho special criticisms which
have been so beek/ indulged in concerning the
, phraseology of the orders, and the uncertainty
which is pretended as to the meaning and intent
of the several sections of the orders, we are not
left long in doubt as to the matter ; that the inter?
pretation of statutes and ordinances is not the
. - - moat fcjpjBar Of the pursuits of the writer whose
.' essay is before us, and that his attempt to expose
ii' the defects of another have only tended to the
more perfect development of his own inaccuracies.
Hen tue writer in the National Intelligencer been
familiar with the reading of the statutes, as
rand, parcel of which these orders are
be considered, he, perhaps, would have
found, that the language used in these
orders is that which older lawyers than are now in
existence employed for the purpose of expressing
the same thing to which General Sickles has re?
ferred. Moreover, if the study of these same law?
yers can be commended to the writer in the Intel?
ligencer, he may then discover that Genoral
Sickles, before he became a soldier, had been a
trained and educated laywer, and that in his case the
learning of the courts had been too deeply and
thoroughly impressed to be effaced or affected by
. those servi ces m the field which are too conspicu?
ous to be referred to by those who have read the
history of this country in the events of the last
?v? or six years, and in the services of those who
ju that memorable period have so well earned
the gratitude of their countrymen. The desire,
? however, to be censorious, has, not only in tho
matter now referred to, induced a criticism which
certainly has not tended to expose the ina .'curacies
of General Sickles, however much it may have es?
tablished that of the writer; but tho same temper
and the like Ul success have been manifested in
: ? that portion of these orders which relates to ac?
tion brought upon contracts for the purchase of
negroes, and suspended the prosecution of them.
It would not be unreasonable if it were practicable
to enquire whether the critical writer of this arti
ole has a personal interest in any such contract'
If there is no private feeling in the matter, with
what does he find fault? Is it thc language of tho
order? If so, it may give him comfort to know that
the highest court in the State of South Carolina has
very sufficiently understood this order, precisely
in toe same sense in which General Sickles intend?
ed, and in the same sense in which every one ui
the State and out of it also, excepting the writer
in the Intelligencer, has accepted it. Doos tho
writer of the article in the Intelligencer question
the policy of suspending a decision in these cases
un ?il there shall be a judiciary created under tho
new political organization of the State, according
to the requirements of Congress ? Does ho intend
to urge with hot haste the consideration of a ques?
tion which involves in its final determination a
great variety of circumstances growing out of "a
number of cases, and to the final decisiou of which
ere to be applied rules of public law which havo
not been generally discussed in these United
States, and in relation to which, if a dis?
cussion of the like questions havo been had
in the coartB of Great Britain, few who have
studied these decisions wiU not admit that they
leave the real question in these .cases not conclu?
sively presented, and Tar from conclusively settled?
If there is any one question concerning which,
by common consent, all parties have acquiesced in
the propriety of suspending for tho present thc
judical consideration of it, it ie that which General
Sickles has thus suspended. It may bo a matter
.cf great doubt whether, if the order of General
Bickies had not been made, the courts would not
have fet it proper to postpone of their own motion
the consideration of such cases. It is, however, a
nutter of no doubt that thc corni? and tho people
well understood what the orders meant, for they
could not misunderstand it, and that these orders
have been accepted as a measure of relief, timely
applied and judiciously devised.
Tue last specific exception which is made to
these orders is the criticism expended upon that
portion of them which enforces the acts of Con?
gress in relation to the currency of the United
?Utos. Had the writer in the Intelligencer been
less hurried in the expression of his censure he
would have seen, upon a careful reading of tho
orders, that General Sickles plainly required, and
only directed, that whatever Congress had de?
clared to be a legal tender should be accepted by
the States tn the military department over which
he waa placed.
Had-the writer in the Intelligencer been con?
cerned to inquire under what ?circumstances this ?
portion of the orders was made, he would have
learned that in some parts of the State one or
more of tho local judges had decided that nothing
but gold and silver could bo a te udor in tho pay?
ment >f contracts; that Bitch a decisiou had pro?
duced croat apprehension and alarm, becauao the
enforceineiit of it would result in tho aggravation
of their distress, which, without it, was almost
overwhelming; that it was not only, therefore, the
condition of the State-hi which overv local bank
had suspended specie payments, and therefore go d
aud silver could only be procured at rates which
greatly increased tho original indebtedness-but it
was a positivo enactment of thc Congress of tho
United States which had been drawn in question
Tho people of the State, it may well be supposed,
would be as little inclined to accept the mistaken
benevolence of an advocate who would iusist, in
their ruined and impoverished condition, upon
their discharge of their obligation with au nadi
t.on of more than thirty per cent., because of thc
d miami for gold, aa would Geuoral Sickles to
adopt tho advioo of oue who would have him ig?
nore tho laws of tho Cougicss of tho United
States, and set the exorn?le to others of obedience
to the laws, hy his own disregard for and violation
of them.
Iliac these ordere could have been construed
into an enforcement of this mode of payment in
cases where Congress had specially provided for
payment in gold or silver could only De tho work
of' one who either would not read that ho might
understand, or would not understand, however he
might read. And a very 6light knowledge of the
lirst canons of construction, and a little care in
the reading of that which he was about to c m s true,
would have shown him that all of tho powers
which were exercised, and all of the provisions
which wore made in these orders, were, in tho
words of the orders, subordinated, as they should
have been, to the laws of Congress.
In the conclusion of his article tho writer in thc
Intelligencer very plainly exposes, as indeed he
had indicated in hm opening, some personal pique
or private and personal wrong, which provoked
him to the crude attack he attempted. General
Sickles can afford to wait with patience until the
conventions shall assemble in these States ; and
it may then appear that tue members of these
Dodies will, by their consideration of the several
modifications which have been made in the exist?
ing laws-modifications rendered at once neces?
sary by the peculiar condition of the people of
these States, and at the same time in perfect con?
sistency with the progressive legislation of all
civilized nations-pronounce an opinion as to their
excellence different from that which the writer in
the Intelligencer has, with temper not to be mis?
taken, undertaken to adjudge.
Ic the meanwh?e, there are these points of dif?
ference betweeu General Sickles and the writer in
the Intelligencer, which, in the consideration of
the conduct of tho one and the attack of the
other, may not be overlooked.
General Sickles has established beyond cavil his
devotion to his whole country, his unwavering
purpose to perpetuate the institutions which were
established when the States became a nation. Will
the writer in the Intelligencer compare bis record
with that which General Sickles has placed with
the archives of his country ? General Sickies has,
with a purity of purpose which is everywhere ac?
knowledged, for nearly two years, discharged his
duties m and over the people whose conduct he
was sent to control, with a moderation, firmness,
and impartial justice which has commandod the
approval of alL Will tho writer in the Intelligencer
compare any service ho has rendered with this
which General Sickles has performed? General
Sickles has faithfully and firmly executed aid en?
forced the laws of the United States, and a as se?
cured that wining obedience to the Government of
tito United States under the influence of which these
states in his military department have conformed
to bis advice, and yielded acquiescence to tho ,ro
quirements of Congress as preliminary to their
restoration. At this time, under his administra?
tion, the most difficult political problem which has
ever been presented is undergoing a peaceful,
happy solution; and everything justifies the ex?
pectation of tho successful accomplishment of
what the good and wi JO ot tho land desire. WUl
the writer of the Intelligencer compare his mo?
tives, actions, or expected results with these,
whicn are presented by General Sickles ?
General Sickles has, by his temperate exercise
of tho great powers which he possesses, reconciled
the people of these States to the measures of Con?
gress, against which so much has been said for
the purpo-e of exciting thom to opposition, and
will res tore the people of those States to the peo?
ple of the other States, in that temper and under
such feelings as will enable him to say they are
? not in name only, but in fact-not with the month,
but with the heart also-a part of tho peo plo of
tho United States. Will the writer in the Intelli?
gencer say what he will do, or what he will attempt
to do, like this ?
With such motives as influence him, with such
J conduct as has illustrated such motives, with such
purposes to accomplish as are anticipated results
ot his conduct, Gene, al Sickles has little to appre?
hend from the carping criticism of those who aro
' alike incapable of appreciating the difficulties and
responsibilities of fiis position, or the motives or
the measures which he cherishes and desires for
the restoration of these States, and the reconstruc?
tion of that Union for the perpetuation of which
he has perilled his life, ana in the defence of
which his mutilated body will be an eloquent and
enduring record to ohallenge tho respect and con?
fidence of all brave men, and of all good men, in
the length and breadth of our land.
JUSTICE.
The Exhibition-\ upo leon and Talma
I Garabaldi end the Romani-Fashions, etc.
[Extract*from Pari* Cor. London Telegraph.]
The Exhibition is now our bete noire. It is
keeping people away from Paris; and if the hotel
keepers and their confreres do not take care, they
will find, that they w'iU haVe,to depend on pro?
vincials for the great fortunes which they expect
to realize. You sec, the British exhibitor may
pay20f. for his bed lor ono night, but he will-bo
extremely apt to return to the suburbs of London
as soon as he can, and forget to return to Paris
with Mrs. Exhibitor, five children and (rots do?
mestiques. No, he will wisely stay at Bayswater.
Prices are already awful. I think it is hard that
because the Emperor of tbe French bas a great
international show his subjects should charge in?
nocent residents 50 per cent increase for every?
thing. Wo are seriously thinking of taking to
our beds-slight food would suffice us. We should
save our clothes, and Mr. Poole would kindly look
on us towards summer-our boots, so that the in?
spired one Who provides for our understandings
would get a holiday-and Mr. Melton would have
the weight taken off his head of haring to cover
ours, iou laugh at us! How would you like it if ]
every morning when your valet called you he told
you that everything was 25 per cent dearer than
Ssterday, and I declare that such is the case. And
e terrible part of the incident is that this is a
mere matter of precaution on account of the worthy
people of Paris, for nobody worth speaking about
has yet arrived.
There are Americans here by hundreds, but real?
ly I do not think I have ever known so few English
in Paris. The Parisians bear.that privation pret?
ty well, and for the moment only raise the price of |
everything forty par cent. It is a trifle for us
payers, and of course is satisfactory to the re?
cipients.
Do you know that seriously, we are duller this
week than we have been for years ? I do not like
the tone of tbe general public. The state of poli?
tics, as I have said, ia queer. The Exhibition does
not help, but hinders. Look, too, at society.; Why.
I do not think we have ten invitations for the next
week. Voila! "Can such things be" and not
overcome us ? Seeing bow dull we are to-dayl as
regards things of to-day, I think I may safely
give you an original letter, written by the founder
af the Napoleonic dynasty to Talma. Napoleon I,
long before he was Napoleon the First, wrote from
Toulon to the great actor of his day.
Mon cmer Talma-I have fought like a lion for
the Republic. Eut, my good friend Talma, as my
reward I am left to die with hunger. I am at the
end of all my resources. That miserable fellow
Aubry (then Minister of War) leaves me in the
mire when he might do something foi- me. I feel
that I have the power of doing more than Generals
San tone and Rossignot, and yet they cannot find
a corner for me in La Yendee or elsewhere, to give
me employment. You are happy : your reputation
depends upon yourself alone. Two hours passed
on the boards Bring you before the public, whence
all glory emanates. But fortis soldiers, wo aie
forcod to pay dearly for fume upon an extensive
s tage, and, after all, we are not alio we d to attain it.
Therefore do not regret the path you have chosen.
P.ema.n upon your theatre. Who knows if 1 shall
ever appear again upon mine. I have seen Mauvel
(a distinguished comedian); hois atnie friend.
Barros, President ot the Directory, makes fine
promise1*; but will he keep them ? I doubt it. In
the meantime I am redused to my last sous. Have
you a few crowns to spare me ? I will not refuse
them, and promise to repay you out of tho first
kingdom I win by my sword. How happy were
tho heroes of Ariosto ; they had not to depend
upon a Minister of War. Adieu.
Yours, BONAPARTE.
But there is a political question to which I must
briefly refer before I outer on the review of tho
week just passed. I fancy that I see a cloud no
bigger than a man's hand, but it is the shadow of
a big man's band as far as Italy is concerned, in
the horizon of that financially and politically much
vexed kingdom. My letters are not quito what
yon would describe as "comforting," ana now I see
that General Garibaldi has accepted the command
of tbe National Committee of Borne, to tho mem?
bers of which he has addressed the following lot?
ter :
SAN FIOBANO, March 22.
Gentlemen-I am proud to call mvself a Kornau
General. I accept with gratitude the mission you
wish to comido to me, and I soud you herewith the
names of thc Romans who oro to compose the
direction of tho emigration residing at Florence.
I feel CQjifiBcnt that aU tho refugees will rally round
that direction which enjoys my fullest confidence,
just as I place the same in von.
Yours for life, G. GARIBALDI.
I do not know iu tho least what this command
may mean; but I do know that among tho revolu?
tionary portion of the Romans who romain in
Borne" tbe name of Garibaldi is indeed a tower of
strength, and that he is bound by what he consid?
ers the strongest ties to liber.it? the Eternal City
from tho hated priests. I do not say tina he is iii
tho right, but I feel sure that this is his religion,
and the recently selected Italian Ministry will act
on tho General aud his following "as does tho
wind on fire*"' I havo seen something of General
Garibaldi, and behove him to be tho most kindly
man in Italy; but human nature may be too highly
tested. After tho base trickery and unnecessary
slaughter of Aspromoute it would take an angel
with wings to forgive tho plottor. As for money,
I dare say Italy will tide over that difficulty in
spite of the efforts of her financiers und the de
risiou ot li^r ouomies, who have lived hero on last
year's baisse in a ?ort of speculative clover, only
ono crop of whiuh was cut off, and that harvest
took place the day of the cession of Vonotia.
The King of the Belgians paid a visit to-day to
the Emperor at tho Tuileries. His Belgian Majesty 1
was in one of the private state carriages. Last t
night bo was in so humble a conveyance that his
coachman got "chaffed''-I presumo a French .
coachman would call it "intrigued"-and I heard a 1
French brougham boy telling bini to '*Get out of
the way wiih his cripples, and let his betters get
up to the door." There is no concealing the fact
that Paris is getting very full, and iull or a most
cosmopolitan company. For instance, I asked a
friend lust night if there were manv persons at the
Grand Hotel. "Manyi' aaid he, "I should tldnk

In tho old Hush timos a passenger on a river boat

"Who do you belong to?"
"Don't know, sir," answered the boy.
"Why don't you know ?"

our informant says nothiug disreputable of the
private character of Mrs. Gerkin, he intimates
that she has a very unpleasant way of quartering
herself upon other people, and getting along
through life by "living "round" with the neighbors,

BOSTON BOOT AND SHOE MARKET-For the week
ending May 9.-The demand at present on the wholesale
trade is light, while price, have an upward tendency.
The shipments are gradually falling off, as spring orders
for the larger markets of the West are nearly filled.
Business with tho local trade is good, and these in a fair
request from the Interior towns of New York and Penn?
sylvania. The prices with the jobbers are fairly sus?
tained, hut the . are generally reluctant to advance in
proportion with materials and labor. Strikes among the
"jours" continue to occur In some of the towns in
this vicinity, and the manufacturers who have accepted
orders are obliged to accedo to the advance asked. We
learn of one firm who had employed fifty hands having
suspended operations for the present in consequence of
the advance demanded. These strikes are confined
mostly to towns in vicinities where the heavier kinds
of boots and shoes are made, and have been occasioned
moro by the anticipated demand for fall gooda than by
any actual request at present. In other manufacturing
places the journeymen are working at low pri?es, aa cern
pared with the cost of living, and hi the event of an active
demand for their work no doubt but they would ask some
advance upon present prices. Everything considered
the prospects of a paying business for the trade are not
very encouraging, and unless there s hould be an active
demand In July it ia doubtful if prices can be sustained
at the actual advance cost of the goods. Our manufac?
turers are well aware that with the improved facilities in
producing boots and shoes it requires but a fow weeks to
overstock the market, whioh has heretofore caused a de?
cline in prices injurious both to themselves and tho early
buyers. An increased demand is anticipated this year
from the Southern markets, which, if fully realized, will
not equal tho producing power of tho Eastern factories of
the present day, as, at the lowest estimate, they can pro?
duce 30,000 cases por week, or about the number received
and shipped on alow stock in the market in August, 1865.
The shipments by rail for the week have bein 11,367
cases. The total shipments of boots and shoes by rall
and sea for the week havo been 14,079 cases.
New York Market.
MONET MARKET.
The New York Evening Poet ot Friday. May 10th,
says :
The buoyant feeling at the London Stock Exchange,
accompanied by the advance of Flvo-twentles to 72, has
had but little effect here, except in the gold market. The
foreign houaeB are, however, buyers of United States
bonds for exportation.
The loan market is easy at 6aG. There are large
amounts offering at 4 to tho dealers in governments.
The discount demand is small.

iccuatomed during the great portion of my invalid lite
0 use the different waters of the several fountains which
Mil up along that remarkable valley, dependent, Indeed,
ipon them tor much of the comfort I enjoy, I am Batts
led that the Excelsior Water is as well adapted ss an;
1 thor among them, if not more to, to the purposes for
rhich they are generally employed. It is very agreeable,
itrongly Impregnated with the carbonic acid, hvely and
i par kling. * * * I can heartily and consclentionaly
ecornznend it to all who need a gentle cathartic and
