And the low windjs miserere
Mokes sadder the midnight gloom ;
There's a terror that's nameless nigh nie,
There's a phantom spell on the air,
And methinks that the dead glide by me,
And the breath of the grave's in my hair!
"Tis a vision of ghastly faces,
All pallid, and worn with pain.
Where the-splendor of manhood's graces
Give place to a gory stain ;
In a wild and weird proecssion
They sweep by my startled eyes,
And'stern with their fate's fruition,
Seem melting in blood-red skies.
Have Jthey come from the shoressuperiml,
"Have they passed from the spirit's goal,
'Neath the veil of the life eternal,"
To (lawn on my snnuiung soiu<
Have th ey turned from the choiring angels,
Aghast at the woe and dcartli
That War with his dark evangels
- Hath wrought in.(he loved of earth ?
Vain dream ! 'mid the far off mountains
They lie, where the dew mists weep,
And the murmur of mournful fountains
Breathes over their painful sleep?
On the breast of the lonely meadows,
Safe, safe from the despot's will,
' - They rest in the star-lit shadows,
x And their brows are white and still!
Alas! for the martyred heroes
Cut down at their golden prime,
In a strife with the brutal Nerocs
Who blacken the foot of Time !
<"$ ' For them is the voice of wailing,
v.. And the sweet blush rose departs
From the checks of the maidens paling
S" , O'er the wreck of their broken hearts!
i'j
. * ' And alas ! for the vanished glory
Of a thousand household spells!
And alas! for the tearful story
Of the spirit s lonu lareweus :
. 15y the flood, on the field, in the forest,
% ? ^ Our bravest have yielded breath,
But the shafts that have smitten sorest,
Were launched by aViewlcss death !
0, Thou ? that hasf charms of healing,'
Descend on a widowed laud,
And bind o'er the wounds^ of feeling
The balms of Thy mystic hand !
Till the hearts that lament and languish,
^ Renewed by the touch Divine,
^ From the depths of a mortal anguish,
May rise to the calm of Thine !

Condition of Affairs in New YorkA
New York letter in the Philadelphia
- Inquirer, gives the following account of
the mad folly reigniug in that city :
If the condition of New York society
is correctly indicated by tha tone and
drift of our public journals just now, I
am afraid a stranger coming among us
might be led to belcieve we are rapidly
going to the bad. The Tost, for example,
tells of some people up town who
are building marble stables for their
horses, and of others who are constructing
edifices for private theatricals, who.
are giving dinner parties that cost one
.thousand dollars, and parties to children
where every child was clad "in dresses
entirely imported from Paris.
The Times dwells on the gorgeous
displays of jewelry at all our places of
public amusement'on the costliness of
the equipages which whirl through the
aristocratic avenues almost every hour
of the day, and the ostentatious prodifiality
which prevails elsewhere. The
Journal of Commerce, the Express and
the World add other illustrations of the
same character, while the Daily News is
showiug that "while the rich are thus
getting richer, the poor are getting poor-.
, er." 'JL'be utmost prominence is given to
the working men's strikes for higher
wages, and the woes of the poor needle
women arc as usual made the burden. of
elaborate lamentation.
What if Grant Should Fail ?
The New York Herald says, editorially:
If Grant, who has never failed in the
past, should fail in the future, it will be
because there is treachery in Washington.
It will be because in that spirit of partisan
fury that forgets all else but its object
the Washington men have determined
to employ all their power to ruin
another man who stands high with the
people. At this* hour the energy and
'? ingenuity of the adherents of the President
are intensely concentrated on the
game for the neit presidency. No
scheme that can make capital for thein
is forgotten. Wires are nulled in lceisla
O A C
* tivc halls, in custom houses, postoffices,
and in contemptible couuty convcutions.
No one can fail to see how indefinatcly
more advantageous and grand is that field
,f , upon which a successful soldier like
?-* Grant may work for the Presidency in
? ^ * {he campaigns of this summer: and the
?.t * public may well believe that, while the
" " * .politicians work in their mole-like way
fer # at the North, they will not fail to damage
to the extent of their power the.
' chance's of the man who has this nobler
r w*-*field- But let them take care. If Grant
t*?! fails through their treachery, it-will not
.' . conduce to tho suocess" of, Lincoln. It
. ' will initiate a Northern civil war. It
will, peshaps, destroy the public confidence
,'A in Grant; and the people thus cast loose
from auother/aith, confusion and anarchy
* - . of the wosst decription must ensue : or
vt... 'if pubiio order is still kept, the hopes
'.% will oncetuore fall upon General McQlel- '

asm will carry that" hero to the President

WHAT ARE WE COMING TO ?
al:
* * * \ rage for marrying black
' people has lately taken possession of the
Republican party.. The Radicals have
carried everything be^pMrthem, and il
things go on at their present rate it is
feared that, in three months, every white
er man who is not connected by marriage
with a colored family will be "read out"
^ of the parly. The gusto with wliich the
abolitionists go into the insane move
"O- . . .
aj ment is somctn ing at once disgusting and
alarming. We shrink from putting on
paper the stories which reach us as tc
^ the prevalence of this evil. "We will
' only, say that there will very soon be
j hardly a family in the city belonging tc
to the Republican persuasion which* will
k" not be glorying1 in tne possession or a
re negro son-in-law. It is said, wc'know
^ not with what trutli, that^thc Union
^ League Club has fitted up a night bell al
its door, aud keeps a black minister or
the premises who marries all couples oj
different colors at any hour ot the da)
0r or night. Soon we may expect to heai
of duels being fought about some blscli
washer-women, and crowds of white men
thronging the basements of those familic:
'S' who have colored servants in their houses
of
for the purpose of soliciting the honor (?)
er of their hands.
It is with great reluctance that we
^ut speak out our minds in this matter. Bui
we have no hesitation in saying that il
r" we had at the outset conceived it possi
^ ble that hostility to slavery would evci
have led to wholesale intermarriage with
he
negroes, the llepublican party should
c never hive received any countenance 01
f' support from this journal. We owe it tc
y ourselves and to posterity to say that the
ir thing has taken' us by surprise. It never
V entered our head. We now see and con.
'Ir fess our error and deplore it.

k What is to be done to stop this unnatural
' and detestable movement. For it is a*
plain as a pike staff that if it continue:

once great and prosperous country. Wc

not ashamed to own it?in which, in our

noble women whose patriotism is recorded

^ Gen Greene, while retreating through
North Caroliua, came to Salisbury. As
be entered the hotel, a friend, seeing his
^ gloomy looks, made some anxious inquires,
to which the wearied soldier replied
: "Yes?fatigued?hungry-i?aldfc
