WASHINGTON, April 9.-IN THE HOCSE, to?
day, there was no legislation, but a resolution
was introduced having in view a reconciliation
of tue South-American difficulties.
The Congressional Executive Committee de?
cline taking steps to induce Holden to with?
draw rrom the North Carolina gubernatorial
race. The alleged cause of inaction is the ab?
sence of many membere.
G?nerai Sherman listened io Curtis' speech
to-day.
It is said that Dr. Bayne, the negro delegate
from Virginia, who recently visited General
Grant, threatened him that he would not re?
ceive a vote in- Virginia unless he adopted a
certain policy. Grant rang for an orderly,
through whom Bayne was informed that Grant
had given-Bayne all the time he had to spare*

The Impeachment Proceedings.
ABGCICD'T OF JUDGE CUE TIS FOB THE DEFENCE.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-In the Senate the
. court of impeachment was opened as usual.
After reading the journal, General Butler call?
ed up other witnesses, among them Mayor
Blodgett, of Augusta, Ga., who testified regard?
ing h s removal from the postma6tersbip of
that place by the President. He knew nothing
beyond the fact that he had been sus?
pended. Butler asked for a certificate from
the Senate that no reasons had been given by
the President for the suspension of Blodgett,
The defence made a piint that Blodgett'3 case
was outside of the charges made against the
President.
At a quarter to one o'clock Judge Curtis
began bis argument in behalf of the President,
and spoke until near four o'clock, when, at his
request, the hall being larger than he was ac?
customed to, the court adjourned without a
division.
Judge Curtis was listened to Throughout
with marked attention, especially by the mem?
bers of the court. Some of his points were
star tiing. He left it with the Senators to 6ay <
whether tbey were acting in a legislative or a
judicial capacity. He said that the substance 1
of the first of the eight chargea against the
President was ba6ec upon the statement that
the removal of Stantoa and appointment of
Thomas was, or was intended to be, a viola?
tion of the Tenure-of-office act and of the con?
stitution. He denied both propositions, and
among other authorities quoted the statements
of members of the Conference Committee.
Schenck, in making the report to the House,
used the words "term of service." It might as
Y well be said that a king completed the term of
his predecessor who had died as to eay that
Mr. Johnson was serving out Mr. Lincoln's
term.
Judge Curtis proceeded to show that the
heads of departments were the voice and hands
of Presidents. He argued that heads of de?
partments did not, in fact, and could not, con?
stitutionally, come under the provisions of the
Tenure-of-offico act, and that their exception
was well understood by senators. He noticed
the absurdity of charging the President with
high crimes and misdemeanors for having act?
ed in accordance with the publicly expressed
views of senators themselves. His argument
that the President's action was in accordance
with precedent and the constitution is too com?
pact in its elaboration to admit of condensa?
tion. Arguing the necessity of the power
claimed by the President, Judge Curtis in?
stanced the displacement of Mr. Floyd by
President Buchanan, when any delay would
have led to the most deplorable "?".suits. In
arguing that it was the Preside-.i's duty to
maintain his prerogative, he said that a trustee
would combat any unconstitutional law which
worked injurious to those whose rights he had
in trust, and that it was much more the Presi?
dent's duty to guard the trust placed in his
hands by all the people. Such was the duty
nobly fulfilled by Hampden when he opposed
the payment of ship money.
Recapitulating his arguments to prove that
the President could not be impeached for an
act designed to produce a judicial decision, he
quoted General Butler, to show that the
managers admitted this view of'the case.
General Butler had said that the impeachment
in itself was perhaps not an impeachable
offence, if made for the purpose of producing
such a decision, and not accompanied by a de?
fiant message to the Senate. Curtis said that
it wis a matter of taste how the Senate should
be notified. He then, until the adjournment,
argued to prove that, under the rule of estopel,
the things the President had said and done in
these matters did not apply in this case.
Airairs in Alabama.
MONTGOMERY, April 9.-A close estimate
shows that there is no cotton in the State ex?
cept at the warehouses in Montgomery, which
contain about twenty-five hundred bales.
There has been another heavy frost, and ve?
getation is injured.
An important decision has been rendered by
Judge Arlington in the City Court. In 1862
the State of Alabama advanced to the Arms
Manufacturing Company $250,000 in State
bonds for the purpose of enabling it to brui J
an aisenal and to manufacture ams, but as
the purpose of the State was to arm Confeder?
ate soldiers, the contract was held io be null
and void. The suit was brought in the name
of the Governor.
Destructive Fire.
GALVESTON, April 9.-A destructive fire
took place in Huntsville, Texas, on the night
of the 7th. An entire block was destroyed,
and the loss is estimated at $100,000; insured
120,000.
The special agent of the New York Under?
writers has succeeded in arresting the owner
of the bonded warehouse, who has been held
to bail to answer to the charge of defrauding*
the government.

LETTER FROM THE HON. W. D.
PORTER.
Hon. Armistead Burt:
SIB-In the proceedings of the State Demo?
cratic Convention at Columbia, over which you
presided, my name is presented to the people
of the State for the office of governor. The
office is not one to which I have aspired at any
time; less than ever would it be desirable now.
Nor, in my judgment, was it necessary or ex
pedient to name candidates for State officers at
this election. By the second section, eighth
article of the proposed constitution, I am die
qualified from holding office under it, and al?
though I am not insensible to the compliment
of the no ruination, I cannot properly consent
to be a candidate. But this is of Little real
consequence, for if you can elect your candi?
date, you can defeat the constitution, which,
alter all, is your great object. A vote "against
the constitution," in the form proposed in that
instrument, will answer all your purposes, and
Batisfy your whole political duty under exist
ing circumstances.
Let me not be misapprehended. I concur
entirely in what is understood to be the princi?
pal object of the convention, namely, a formal
and solemn expression of opposition to the
constitution about to be submitted for ratifica?
tion. Among the many objections to it, this
one ought to be conclusive, that its practical
operation, and I might add its design and pur?
pose, id to subvert and reverse the relations
heretofore existing between the two classes
that constitute the population of the State,
taking the political power out of the hands of
the educated white doss, and placing it in the
hands of the uneducated colored class. Against
this enormity it is our duty to protest. Our
past history, our own self-respect, and the
characters and fortunes of those who shall suc?
ceed to our places, demand this much at our
hands. *
The colored population in this State is per?
haps one-fifth in excess of the whites. The
excess of registered voters is 25,009 in favor of
the colored population. In view of these facts
this constitution in point of fact confers uni?
versal suffrage upon the colored population,
while it disfranchises a considerable portion of
the white population; thereby seeking to in?
sure the possession of pobtical power, or, in
other words, the political ascendancy, to the
former. It may be safely affirmed that this is
the first instance in the history of republican
government and enlightened legislation in
which intelligence, education and property
have, by the fundamental law, been bound and
laid prostrate at the feet of mere numberB.
1 know that I entertain kinder feelings to?
wards our colored people than many of those
who are now using them for selfish or party
purposes. But it is no slander upon them to
say that they are not fit depositories of the con?
trolling political power of a State like this.
Their traitor-intellectual and moral-their re?
cent condition of ignorance and servitude, their
credulous natures, 60 open to tbe practices of
the crafty and designing, all combine to pro?
duce this incapacity. They have kindly and
generous qualities, but not the qualities of
rule.
Humbers, intelligence and property are each
and all entitled to consideration in the distri?
bution of political power. One would suppose
it was hardly necessary, in this age and coun?
try, to plead for the preponderating influences
of education and wealth, and to contend that
where numbers are nearly balanced, these
should turn the scale. Every man in the State
represents life and personal liberty; but he
who has property represents, in addition, that
which in society is entitled to like protection
with life and liberty; and he who represents in
telligence and education bas still another and,
by general concession, tbe highest title to the
possession of political power. What shall be
said of tbat scheme of government which ig?
nores or sets at defiance these plain principles
of justice, and which, by ita natural and neces?
sary working, places the masses who have ed?
ucation and property under tbe dt?binion of
the masses who have neither edtuation nor
property ? The best that can be said of such a
system, is tbat it has its very foundations in
injustice, and can only be maintained in per?
manence bj force. It is against nature, and
cannot come to good.
I forbear to discuss other parts of the con?
stitution because of my desire to be brief, and
because this one grand objection ought to be
sufficient with all tbose who have heretofore
held the suffrage of the State. Even now the
people of the Northern States, one after
another, are rejecting partial colored suffrage
for themselves when it is only a sentiment or
abstraction, while their representatives in Con?
gress are forcing wholesale colored sriffrage.
when that 6u?frage carries with it the do?
minion in the State, upon their countrymen in
the South. Reaction must come; moral laws
will vindicate themselves, and although re?
pressed for a time by force, will work out their
proper reBults. The white men of the country
will feel and acknowledge the tie of blood, and
assert their common, natural and indefeasible
right to be the rulers of the land. I see
no occasion for despondency. The pro?
cess may be a painful one, and of
longer duration than we could desire, but
things will assuredly right themselves. ThiB
constitution, monstrous as it ie, may be put
upon us. If so, we must organize under it,
and make an earnest, united and persistent
struggle for the political control of the Slate.
I have faith in our people, in their patience
and disposition to do what is right, in their
hopeful and enduring courage, in their instinct
and capacity of rule, and in the history and
destiny of the race to which they belong as a
dominant and governing race. Intelligence
and property must and will prevail against
mere numbers. Let them be of good temper
and of good cheer. Let them do what they be?
lieve to be their duty in the future, as tbey
have done it in the past ; and whatever may
be the res'ills they will have the consciousness
and th" praise of having acquitted themselves
like men. I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
W. D. PORTEE.

MARLBORO'.
Our correspondent, writing under date of the
3th instant, says:
Apublic Conservative meeting was this day
Bela in the court room, and very well attended
by whites, but few colored persons present.
To say that the latter were conservative in
principle, it is more th tn your correspondent 11
will venture to do-they, however, played the <
part of spectators and very attentive bBteners.
What impressions were made on their minds
by the very candid views expressed, your cor?
respondent is not sufficiently weil acquainted
with human nature to depict. The district
Beemed to be pretty well represented by men
of striking character, whether attracted by
sales day or the interest felt in the meeting to
be heidie yet without solution. In any event,
Major Z. A. Drake was requested to act as
president, and John Monroe Johnson, Esq., to
act as secretary. The.president appointed a
committee of five to draft a set of resolutions,
which were in a short time drawn up, submit?
ted aud adopted. The preample and resolu?
tions areas follows, to wit:
We, a portion of the citizens of Marlborough
District, in public meeting assembled, alarmed
at the Radical developments in our midst and
the utter ruin which threateny, unless all good
citizens at once rally to the support of the con?
stitution ol our common country, con vin ed
as we aie that no salutary laws can be admin?
istered when ignorance and vice, incited and
controlled by designing emissaries laboring for
their own aggrandizement, predominate; and
that many of our people wbo have been thus
misled, if the true state of affairs were set be?
fore them in a proper light, would become ac?
tive supporters of truth, virtuo and intelligence,
and heartily join us in preserving constitution?
al liberty; and being de s ir o aa, moreover, of
seeing equal justice done to all classes, do ear?
nestly request and invite all citizens of the dis- , .
trict to uuite with us in carrying out the prin- I j
tiples above enunciated, and as an election will ' '
soon be held under the new constitution for
membeis of the General Assembly, we feel im?
pelled, by motives of safety, to submit to the
people of this district, gentlemen of intelli?
gence and experience in legislation as candi?
dates for said positions; therefore, boit
Resolved, That this meeting proceed to no?
minate three suitable persons to represent the
district-tho one in the Senate, the other two
in the House of representatives; and that we
do pledge ourselvs to their support, and to cor?
dially invite and earnestly solicit ail good citi?
zens to attend the polia on the 14th, 15th and
16th instant, and to cast their votes for the
candidates who may be nominated.
2. That a committee of eight, one from each
Srecinct, if possible, be appointed by the presi
ent, whose duty it shall be to report forthwith
to this meeting for active, suitable persons as
candidates, in accordance with the foregoing
resolution.
3. Tbat the president appoint a committee of
eight, one from each precinct, if possible,
whose duty it shall be to prepare a constitution
and regulations for the organization of a Con?
servative party in this district, with power to
call a public meeting at such times os they
shall see fit.
Under the second resolution a committee
was appointed to make the nominations therein
provided for. While thus engaged, the meeting
was addressed by William A. Rogers, of the
sum and substance of whoso remarks your
correspondent says nothing. Colonel J. H.
Hudson followed, by earnest solicitation, and
made a forcible address, and, it is believed,
spoke his honest sentiments, in his usual and
eloquent style of fluent speech and beautiful
diction. His remarks seemed to have a telling
effect, if there is any meaning in the cry of |
"go on." Hie viewB of the Union League were
not poeticaL Love for an object inspires within
us sentiment, and if the speiker had any love
for this society, it was implied, 4c. The Com?
mittee on Nominations now made their report:
Major Z. A. Drake, tor the Senate. Colonel B.
F. Pegurs and Harris Covington, Esq., for the
Houxe. The two former gentlemen are practi?
cal planters-gentlemen of character, intelli?
gence, experience, and estimable citizens. The I 1
l&tter a lawyer, just entered the practice of | ]
law, with an increasing practice, and destined
to make hiB mark in the world, who begins bis
public life under the most favorable auspices.
Th9 candidates are registered voters. ' The
longest pole reaches the persimmons," and
"the race is to tho swift." The meeting was
also addressed by S. J. Townsend, Esq., after
which the assembly peaceably dispersed.
OCONEE AND PICKENS.
Our correspondent at Walhalla says that
Messrs. Lay and Stokes Stribling having with?
drawn, the nominations now stand as follows :
For Senate for Oconee County.-D. tiemann,
Dr. L. B. Johnson, A. Bryce, Jr.
For Legislature-W. C. Keith, Dr. 0. M.
Doyle, A. Bryce, Sr.
For Legislature for PickenB County-Stephen
D. Keith, Dr. A. M. Folger.
A meeting of the citizens of Connor's neigh?
borhood was held at Friendship Church and
formed a Democratic Club, known as the
Friendship Democratic Club, and to have os
its purpose the election of Democrats to office,
and opposition, by legal and peaceable nu
to the odious and despotic rule of the Rai
party.
The following are the officers : W. A.
President; John Maxwell, Stephen Baldwin
W. Hamilton, Vice Presidents.
Our correspondent says : I am infor
that the Union Leagne in Pickens County
last week for the purpose of nominating ca
dates for the approaching election, but ei
in a general fight. A big buck negro offi
another one dollar to bit him. After a 1
hesitation negro No. 2 struck negro No. 1,
felled him to the ground, and demanded
dollar. No. 1 searched his pockets but fo
them minus greenbacks. He tried to bot
from his friends, but not succeeding, a gen
row followed. A little Coffee came very i
losing both eyes. They were to meet at.
yesterday, the 4th, to finish nominations,
would do better to finish the fight.
I would have written to you sooner and
ly, but our mails are very irregular, a3 the ]
road bridge across Rocky River, one mile t?c
Anderson, waa burnt some time ago, and

Our district, or county as it may be, but b
not, as I wish the constitution defeated,

proceedings, one at Friendship, and tho ot
at this place, and I hear eeveral more will
organized.

The Impeachment Trial.
PB0BA3LE DUBAT?0S OF THE TRIAL-THE SPEECH?
ES-OVTSIDE PBESS?EE ?BOM THE BADICAL
SPECULATORS AS TO THE EESULT.
It is Baid that the President's counsel are of
ihe opinion that the impeachment trial will be
anded by Saturday, the 18th instant. An effort
will be made to have the Senate rule relating
JO the subject of speeches in the court of im?
peachment, altered so as to permit three
speeches on each side. Thaddeus Stevens
md Gen. Logan both desire to make speeches
n the impeachment trial, but as Messrs. Bout
well and Bingham are already designated by
he managers to argue the case, and as the
mle of the Senate does not permit mora than
two speeches on each Bide, Messrs. Stevens and
Logan cannot deliver their proposed speeches
without a change ol the ru'es of the Senate.
Mr. Stevena has, it is reported, prepared a
written argument, but hie feeble health ad?
monishes him not to attempt its delivery, and
he cannot have it read by the clerk. The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
3un, writing on Monday last, says :
Judge Curtis, one of the counsel for the
President, will occupy all day Thursday in the
apeniner speech for the defence. He may be
ipt to occupy a portion of Friday also, as* his
lrgument will be very elaborate and exhaust?
ive. When he concludes, the testimony for toe
lefence will be put forward, General Thomas
leading off as principal witness. Mr. Stanton
(rill not be summoned ae a witness, though it
das been generally stated that ho will. No
regular arrangement of the witnesses has been
lecided upon. Those who ore at hand, as
General Sherman and Louis D. Campbell, will
rery likely be examined on Friday. The rest
sf the witneeBee, to tbe number of about a
?ozen, will be disposed of by Wednesday week,
unless the prosecution protract the time by fre?
quent objection and lengthy cross-examina?
tion. One of the managers will then sum up
in the first instance, to be folk wed by Mess?.
Evarte and Stanbery, and the fina'l closing
argument will be delivered by another of the
managers possibly on Monday week.
It is very generally concede d that the evi?
dence in thc impeachment tril l is too weak to
hold water. First we have a mass of testimony
endeavoring to prove a conspiracy between the
President and General Thomaii-testimony to
Bhow that certain expressions were made nae
of by the latter on hie own reuponsibility, for
which the President should be held accounta?
ble; and this was gravely admitted by the court
as matter worthy ot consideration and as up?
holding the case of the prosecution. Two high
judicial authorities did not he* itate to say last
evening that the Chief Justice was entirely
wrong in admitting the evidence which was
?>ut on the record in the firat p. trt of last week,
t would be just as reasonable to hold the
President responsible for the threats any of
the thousand and one postmasters appointed
by him might have made use of against those
they were directed to supersede, and thus
prove conspiracy on the part of the Executive,
and make use of their uncon6 dered language
as evidence against him. The documentary
testimony will be met by otter documentary
testimony, which the defence feel confident will
pull to pieces the fabric of the prosecution.
So far there is DO case again st the President,
and a great many senators fee! that such is the
fact; but the pressure on the entire Republican
element of the Senate will become intense as
the trial draws to a close, and, regardless of
oath or evidence, it is fearec. tne great dis?
frace will be perpetrated of removing the head
of the nation to accomplish a party purpose.
This week and the week after letters will pour
in upon those senators who are considered dis?
posed to waver, and men will come to Wash?
ington from all parts of the country to urge
their senators to vote for conviction. Coaxing
and buUying will be tried br turns, and no
stone left unturned to try and insure a verdict
of guilty. It is needless* to say there are cer?
tain Republicans in the Senate to-day whom
it will require extraordinary efforts to over?
come and induce to vote against their convic?
tions, and should such men yield, a day ol re?
flection will come and a fohn ? of remorse fol?
low that will embitter their "lives to the last
moment they exibt.
The United States Supreme Court.
TJIPOETANT DECISIONS- THE 4CTI0N TN THE
2ICABDLE CASE-ADJGtJBNaiENT OF THE COUBT.
Tue United States Supreme Court adjourned
on Monday last until December next. A num?
ber ol' opinions were announced in important
cases.
The case, which has long oeen pendinir, of
Mrs. General Games against the City ot New
Orleans and many citizens thereof, fer certain
property in tbat city left to ber by her father,
was decided by the Supreme; Court to-day in
ber favor.
The celebrated cotton cns-}, involving the
rigbt to 93-5 bales ol'cotton libelled as prize of
war and Drought before the Supreme Court on
appeal, was decided. The caee is that of With
einbery & Doyle, G. A. Le Mere and Greif and
Zunts vs. the United States. The Supreme
Court dismissed all claims, upon the ground
that they interfered with ibo non-intercourse
act of July 13, 1SG3.
Towards the conclusion of the proceedings'
General W. G. M. Davis read a petition from
Hamilton Martin and Wm. E. Gill, statin? that
they are held in prison in the State of Florida,
confined in damp and unhcalt'iy quarters, and
that thereby their health haf been impiired.
Ihev pray "that theil- condition may be palliated
by this court; that there may be a revision of
the proceedings of the courr. below; that for
want of pecuniary means the y have not until
DOW been able to procure counsel in their case,
etc.; tbat in view of these and other facts, they
pray a writ of ?tabeas corpus and certiorari
may be granted, and that tho court will direct
the competent jurisdiction to bring the peti?
tioners at a day certain, dming the present
term, before the court, in ord?r that the cause
of their imprisonment may be shown. General
Davis said he was under some: embarrassment,
having been inf01 med that th e court had an?
nounced its determination lo adjourn to-day
until tbe next term. That 'vould be a long
time to wait for a decision.
The court said it could not do otherwise, the
business of the present term having been
transacted and the time of adjournment fixed.
General Davis replied that oe Iud not found
anywhere in instances where a writ of hibeas
:orpus had been granted that there was a wait?
ing of five or six mon'hB from tbe time the
writ was granted for its reta TI.
Associate Justice Nelson r .'minded the gen?
tleman that this court did ne t sit during the
whole year. He could make he application at
this time. The court said it would make the
rm ts returnable the first da] ot the next term,
which was done accordingly.
The petitioners in this casei were indicted in
I federal court for the murder of a freedman,
md they bold that the State court alone can
take jurisdiction of the subject.
THE M'CABDLE CA8E. ,
The followLg explanation of the action of
?he United States Supreme Court in the
McCardle case is given: Thu case waa argued
?ju the day originally fixed for it. The confer?
ence day is Saturday in each week. The other
working days have been fully occupied in hear?
ing the argument of cases i a regular order on
the docket. On the ?rst conference dav after
the argument the case wast not reached, al?
though the conference occur ied all day. The
Dcxt conference day Congress had already
passed the act to repeal tbe jurisdiction in such
:ases, and the act was before the President.
Gentlemen, practitioners at the bar. without re?
spect to politics, say the court coull not have
anticipated the legislation, and if it had, could
not properlv have run ara<:e with Congrese;
that it would have been ridiculous affectation
tot to take notice of it, and would hardly have
been consistent with the dignity of the court
and tbe respect due to the other branches of
the government to proceed with the matter
until the President had either approved or
vetoed the bill. On the reception of his veto
it was passed by the require o majority in both
bouses. When Mr. Black, ft r McCardle, moved
to be heard upon the question of the effect of
the law, the court, although it had several
weeks before fixed Tuesday, the 81st of March,
for tbe closing of the docket, agreed to hear
irgument in the case on Wednesday, tbe 1st of
April. Of that, however, the counsel did not
bake notice, not having appeared in court until
ifter the subject had been postponed.
IMPBESSIOHS OF CHABTJESTOIT MAGNOLIA
CEMETEBT.-The editor cf the Baltimore
Gazette, writing to his paper from Charleston
under date of April 4, says :
Persons living only in the hotels here know
attie or nothing of the real condition of things,
sojourners in such luxurious caravansaries
bave lor the time being molo or lesa money,
ind they take matters very comfortably,
troubling* themselves little about the necessi?
ties or sorrows of those dwelling round about
them. They see that the public tables are
bountifully spread and the public conveyances
u-e all that can be desired, ind they Btraight
ivav conclude that prosperity is the rule and
onvation the exception in the community.
Those who care to know the truth know how
widespread is the destitution throughout this
;ity. and how desperate is the Btruggle which
hundreds who were born to affluence are
makiner with adveree fortrne. Historical jus?
tice will one day be done a people who have
made sacrifices so heroic ard who bear suffer?
ing so nobly, but reparation or rebef compara?
tively few of them are ever destined to receive.
In" the environs of Cl larleston the same
dilapidation exists aa in ti ie city itseh'. The
plank roads, the fences md the houses all
show signs of the disastrous e .ect of the war.
One of tbe main roads running from the city,
and which is in about the i;ame wretched con?
dition ae the rest, leads to Magnolia Cemetery.
The visitor to that city c f the dead will find,
however, when he enters it s gates, that he has
left behind bim the painful evidences of decay?
ed prosperity, of which me ation has been made.
There the monuments of tac olden time stand,
weather-beaten and stall ed, but as firm as
when originally erected, and close beside them
the fresh white marble she wa that in that sad?
dest of spots around this sad city men con?
tinue to repair and to build. There is that to
be seen there too which suggests thoughts not
less melancholy than those excited by the
Bpectade of "a people in its woe." Turning
down one of the avenues the stranger will
come upon a stately tomb. The helmet and
the broadsword carved in stone tell that some
honored soldier hes bene ith. The jessamine
twines lovingly over aud around it, and from
tbe old tree which has been growing bee:
these scores of years the long gray
hangs dows in great funereal masses,
inscription upon the stone tells us that 1
repose the mouldering remains of Colonel V
ington, a "rebel" of revolutionary fame,
about the place there is a solemn calm
tender beauty, for nature has in that
nook been undisturbed for more than h
century. Passing cn a few hundred yardi
reach a patch of ground which has been 1
added to the cemetery. Neither tree nor fl
is to be seen there, and it seems as thou;
were free from weeds even, so bare and c
late does it look lying there beneath the j
lng sun. Eut yet" it is not unoccupied,
by side and as close together as they could
be placed, and in rows which almost ti
each other, he tho dead who fell in the i
federate cause. A small but neat slab al
head of each man's grave tells us his name
his regiment. No more; only this brief rec
It is enough. What matters it where or
they died ? What matter is it that they 1
that cheerless ground, while the noble sol
who fought to gain the civil freedom w
they battled to preserve, reposes beneath
sculptured marble, while the cypress and
myrtle enwreath his tomb ? The world i
justice to their heroism-time will avouch
righteousness of their cause-and the gen
tion which is to come will hold their xnemc
in love and honor.

?-UNBTV AILED.-NOTHING THAT HAS
ever been known or heard of as a tonio adds so
much to the resistant power of the human system,

TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. If. yon would es?
cape the intermittent fevers, fits of indi gestion, bil?

and damp ar>. the frequent canses, use the BITTERS
as a PROTECTIVE MEDICINE. This ID the wisest
course; but if already an invalid, try the pr?para?

There is no mystery about the causes of ita suc?

finest selection ol' tonic, an ti-bilious, anti-ecortmtic,
