Brothers who have nobly fought, Though through death and danger sought, Tho' it may be dearly bought, Guard well the Union. Let our Eagle soar on high, Let the Spangled Banner fly, Ours be ono united cry, Hurrah! for the Union. Shades of glorious Washington, Wilt thou come aud lead us on, Or let thy spirit rest upon, Each soldier of the Union. Let no minor cause divide, Whether weal or woe betide, Firmly standing side by side, Let us save the Union. What are brethren faltering at? What are party names to that? Republican or Democrat, No party but the Union. Tho' would not e'en withhold, Lives more precious far than gold, Let Northern blood be dearly sold, Sold to save the Union. What tho' angry nations chide, And our sacred causj deride, Ours mast be a higher guide, ' To freedom and to Union. Freedom from tho bondsman's chain, Freedom let us still proclaim, .To all who bear tho human name, Here's freedom in the Union. Let no cause of strife icinain, Which might call to a-ms again, Remove tho cause, erase the stain, Secure a righteous Union. Mrs. E. A. Wright. TOM'S WEDDING. It happened on one Sunday night, That Sally love and me, We rigged ourselves in wedding plight, That plighted we might be. So down the street we almost ran, To get the splicing donej And if we could meet ono man All meet to make us one. But as upon our way we sped, Our hearts went boiling o'er; For every foot we got ahead To us seemed made by four. So full of fear wo scarce could speak, We reache 1 tho parson's door; And though at fir.t I knocked quite weak, It seeme J a week or more. I told him all with troubled soul, As though it were a sin; And while he went to get his stole, We quietly stole in. He took us twain each by the hand, When he his dress had done; And made us Tore the altar stand, To alter us to one. And while we stood upon the spot, 'Mid strange solemnity; Though neither one of us said not, Yet knotted last were we. Strange then, as though of single mind, At home we wished to be; So soon as we could find our inn, So quickly in went we. Now I hut wish the priest would please, Polite from this to bo; For though he prayod upon his knees, He preyed on Sal and me. When men, by age, fail in their sight and hearing, they had better console themselves with the thought that they i,tvp seen and heard quite enough. The Traitors In the South. The open declaration of treasonable sen timents, by a faction iu the free States. their bold institution of sedition, aud their shameless advocacy of every part of the original secession conspiracy, which are carried on under the insolent assumption that these are the rights of freedom of speech and of the press, should at the least be improved by the Government to tho extent of acquaiuting it with the spirit and designs of the opposition, that it may prudently and wisely guard against them and be prepared for any attempt to carry them out by overt acts. The spirit now boldly displayed, goes to tho full extent of the malignity of the armed rebels. The designs openly advocated are those notoriously belonging to the plan of tho Southern conspirators. We may reasonably calculate that means equally desperate will boused to carry them out, whenever an occasion offers a reasonable prospect of success. It becomes tho Government to improve the information furnished by this tolerated sedition, by preparing to meet and crush it whenever it dares attempt to carry out its purposes, and by showing a firmness and power that shall overcome it. Argument is not necessary to show that they who exhibit toward the Government a malignity not more than equalled by the rebels in arms, whose expressed sympathies are all with the Confederates, whose falsehood of constitutional doctrine justify the lcbclliou, and who are clamoring for the breaking up of the Union of the Northern States for the purpose of carrying a portion into the Confederacy, will resort to similar means to precipitate this scheme by the violence, if they see a prospect of success. And this they hope for from the absence of a million of loyal men in the defense of their country, and from the political control of the free states which they have partially acquired by this absence. It must be remembered that tho South ern States were precipitated one after an other into rebellion by a minority of active unscrupulous leaders, organized by a thoroughly planned conspiracy. The method of precipitation was openly avowed bysome of tho leaders after it began to work. It was calculated that if any collision with the National authorities could bo brought about by violence, th merits of the issue, and all calm deliberation would bo over whelmed by the passions raised by the shedding of blood. The result showed that the plot was well calculated. We have a base faction in the North, instigated by the same purposes. Recently assuming that all who voted against the Administration can be led into acts of rebellion; they openly declaro their purpose to destroy the National Government, and divide the Free States so as to betray them to the Southern Confederacy. They are striving to bring about collisions between State and National authorities, and between military and civil authorities, and exerting their infer nal ingenuity to contrivo ways for making an outbreak which Bhall precipitato violence, and furnish opportunities for organized conspirators and desperate leaders to introduco n reign of terror, and to enlist excited passions in resistance to the Government, in the hope to swell an outbreak into revolution. Such of the State Gov ernments as havo fallen into Democratic hands, are relied upon to carry out this treachery. A collision between them and the National authority is hoped for as the inauguration of a Northern rebellion, upon which all tho traitorouselcmcnts may rally. Treason, irom insi i ts sophistry and a treacherous pretense of supporting the Government, has grown bold in hostility according to Democratic successes at the elections, and Democratic military imbecility in the field, until it has thrown off its pretense of desiring tho "Union as it was," and openly declares its purpose to break it into fragments, that the section which is bound together by a single despicable interest, and which is in rebellion, may havo the fragments of tho Union at its mercy. While tho Government has called a mil lion of loyal citizens into tho field to fight rebellion, let it guard well the country in tho rear, which they havo hft to its care The liberty of sedition which is claimed under the liberty of speech and of the press, has fully informed the Government of the spirit and designs of tho traitors of tho North, and it may observe abundant evidence of the disposition of Democratic State authorities, to create that conflict between State and National authorities, and between civiland military jurisdictions which is looked for as tho commencement of Secession in the free States under pre tense of protecting legal rights. The present universal toleration has demonstrated the necessity for holding a strong hand over sedition in the. North. The mistakes charged in the exercise of piwcr are made trivial by tho insolent display of sedition, and the open declaration of co-operation with the whole Secession plan, since the amnesty to political offenders. War is tho extreme of arbitrary measures. Unfortunatoly war cannot bo prosecuted successfully en the system of sanctity for the rights, privileges and immunities of the enemy. Enemies in war have no rights, except the right to submit to the rules of war. Warextends wherovcrthero are enemies' And wherever there is an open and avow ed enemy of the Government, advocating the plans of the enemy, urging the destruction of the Government, Btriving to break up the Union, with tho avowod purpose of putting it at the mercy of the rebellion, instigating disaffection in the army, and exhorting the soldiers to mutiny, trying to prevent enlistments by the pretense that the war is to subvert the Constitution, it is just as much the duty of the Government to suppress thoso by lorce, as it is to uso force to suppress tho rebels in the South. What is needed is not free toleration of treason in the free States, but a wise discretion in the exerciso of the extraordinary powers necessarily exercised by the War Department in time of war. It is there that the most successful experience in dealing with rcbollion in all its aspects is required. General Butler on Southern Life and Society. CONVERSATION WITH THE NEW YORK COM-' MITTEE. In conversation with the New York committee which waited on him Thursday to tender him the honor of a public dinner, Ccneral Butler gave a most interesting account of his administration in New Orleans and of the condition of affairs and society he found there. We make tho following extracts from a report of his remarks. General Butler said: "With reference to tho slavery question his views had undergone a radical change during his residence at New Orleans, and while entertaining no predj udices against his old political associates, who found fault with him on that score, he would only say to them, that if they had gone there with' the same sentiments that he felt, they would have come away with the same sentiments that he felt. Laughter. He thought he might say that the principal members of his staff, and the prominent officers of his regiments, without any exception went out to New Orleans hunker democrats of the hmikcrest sort, for it was but natural that he should draw around him those whose views were similiar to his own, and every individual of the number had come to precisely the same belief on the question of Slavery, as he had put forth in his farewell address to the people of New Orleans. This change came about from seeing what all of them saw, day by day. "In this war the entire property of the South was against us, because almost the entire property of the South was bound up in the institution of Slavery. This was a well known fact, probably, but he did not become fully aware of it until he had spent some time at New Orleans. The South had S1G3,000,000 of taxable property in slaves, 8163,000,000, in all other kinds of property. And this was the cause why tho merchants of New Orleans had not remained loyal. They found themselves ruined all their property being loaned upon planter's notes and mortgages upon plantations and slaves, all of which property is now reasonably worthless. Again, he had learned what he did not know before, this was not a rebellion against us, but simply a rebellion to perpetuate power in the hands of a few slaveholders. At first he had not believed that Slavery was the cause of the rebellion, but attributed it to Davis, Slidell and others, who had brought it about to make political triumphs by which to regain their former ascendency. "The rebellion was against the humble and poorer clashes, and there were in the South large numbers of secret societies, c'ealing in cabalistic signs, organized for tho purpose of perpetuating the power of the rich over the poor. "When he saw the utter demoralization of the people, resulting from Slavery, it struck him that it was an institution which should be thrust out of the Union. He had, on reading Mrs. Stowe's book Uncle Tom's Cabin believed it to bo an overdrawn, highly-wrought picture of southern life, but he had seen with his own eyes and heard with his own ears many things which go beyond her book as much as her book docs beyond an ordinary school girl's novel. He related an instance of the shocking demoralization of society at New Orleans. There came into his office a woman twenty-seven years of age, perfectly white, who asked him in proper language if he would put her in one of her father's houses. Her history was this: Her father had educated her in the city of New York until she was between seventeen and eighteen years of ago and taken her to one of the metropolitan hotels, where he kept her as his mistress. Not relishing the conneC' tion, and desiring to get away from him she went to New Orleans he followed her, but she rcfusod to live with him, at which he whipped her in the public street and made her marry a slave. She afterward resumed her unnatural relation, going to Cincinnati, but was brought back by her husbaud or father with a child belonging to somebody. Her father fled from tho city at the timo of its occupation of the United States forces leaving hor in a state of destitution. She wanted to live in one of her father's houses, but her story was not credible, and he determined to investigate it. To his surprise, it was found to be well known, and testimony of its truth was obtained from A, B and C, without difficulty. Notwithstanding this fact,wido-ly known as it was, this man could be elected in Louisiana, in the cityof New Orleans, a Judge of one of the Courts . "On one occassion one of his aid3 brought before him a young woman, almost white, who had been brutally whipped and turned out of the house of her father. For this outrage the man had been made to pay a fine of $1,000 and give the woman a deed of emancipation. Applause. These were the kind of charges which had been brought against him. Cheers, and cries of "G ood!" Yes, no right minded man could be sent to New Orleans without returning an unconditional anti-Slavery man, even though the roofs of the houses were not taken off and the full extent of the corruption exposed. "All the low class of the peoplo of New Orleans where loyal. During the first fourteen days after the Union forces entered the city fourteen thousand people took the oath of allegiance; and when he went on board the steamer, on his return to the North, at least one thousand laboring men canio down from the levee, and uttered no words, except those of good will to him as the representative of the Government. "General Butler continued by saying that the war could only bo successfully prosecuted by the destruction of Slavery, which was made the corner stone of the Confederaey. "One of the greatest arguments which he could find against Slavery was the demro-alizing influences it exerted upon the lower whito classes, who were brought into secession by the hundreds because they ignorantly supposed that great wrong was to be done them by the Lincoln Go. eminent, as they termed it, if the North succeeded. Therefore, if you meet an old hunker Democrat, and Eend him for sixty days to New Orleans, and he comes back a hunker still, he is merely incorrigible. Laughter. "There was one thing about tho President's edict of emancipation to which he would call attention. In Louisiania he had excepted from freedom about eighty-seven thousand slaves. These comprise all the negroes held in the Lafourche district who had been emancipated already for some time under the law which frees Slaves taken iu rebellious territory by our armies. Others of these negroes had been freed by tho proclamation of September, which declared all slaves to be free whose owners should be iu arms on tho 1st of January. The slaves of Frenchmen were free be-causo the Code Civile expressly prohibits a Frenchman holding slaves, and, by the 7th aud 8th Victoria, every Englishman holding slaves submitted himself to a penalty of 85U0 for eat'h. Now, take the negroes of secessionists, Englishmen and Frenchmen, out of the 87,000, and the number is reduced to an infinitessimal portion of these excepted. Thisfacthad come tolas knowledge from having required every inhabitant of the city to register his nationality. After all the names had been fairly registered, ha explained these laws to the English a id French Consuls and thus replied t i demands which had been made by English and French residents of Louisian up-ou the Government for slaves alleged to havo been seized." Applause. Some time ago tbere was a trial for trespass in cutting wood from a . neighbor's premises without authority. One of the plaintiffs witnesses was a plain old farmer, whose testimony went clearly aud directly to prove the charge. The defendant's counsel, a blustering man of brass, thought to weaken the force of his evidence by proving idiocy to be a trait of his family. Ho therefore interrogated him thus: "Mr. Hodge, you havo a eon who is an idiot, have you not?" "Yes, sir." "Does he know anything?" "Very little." "How much dose ho know?" "Well, almost nothing; not much more than you do." Tho witness was allowed to retire without further questions, amidst the most uproarious "screams of laughter." Some one has beautifully said: The water that flows from a spring does not congeal in winter, and those sentiments of friendship which flow from the heart can not be frozen in adversity." "Lady's arc only a Trouble.'' Nearly twenty years ago, a pious lady accompauicd by her little child, applied fur a passage on board a vessel about sail in from Boston to New York. The captain refused to receive her on board, saying. "Ladios are ouly a troublo; and mine is not a ngular passenger vessel." "I think you had better try us, captain," said the lady plca3ai.tly; "I do not think you will find us such uupleasant passengers as you seem to apprehend." The captain at last consented reluetantly, and the lady passed on board. After making herself as comfortablo as she could for the voyage, she went out to watch tho sailsrs at their work. There was something in her appearance and man ner which won their good will, and when she inquired pleasantly about their work, they seemed glad of the opportunity to give the desired information. From such sub jects she glided easily to questions about homo and friends, or something of their own history, boon there appeared a change iu the crew; they showed a kind of watchfulness to meet the lady's wishes, and gratefully received a fe .v solect tracts which sho gave them. Seizing a favorable opportunity, sho pointed them affection ately to Christ as the only way of salvation and met with such a response as showed her that the appeal was uot without lie deep effect. When tho vessel reached New York, the captain and crew gathered arouud her, some with moistened eyes, and begged pardon for their incivility when she ap plied for a passage. "We want to thank you," said the captain, "for tho good you have dune us." "You are the first one," added a weather-beatened tai.'"who has said a word to me about my soul since I left my poor old mother, years ago, to follow the sea." The christian who has cultivated his spiritual eye will be quick to detect, at home and abroad, "a prospect of doing good" to some soul and the opportunities which he is euablcd to discover will multiply as he grows iu grace, aud his spiritual sight coutiuues to improve. Pleasant Neighbors. One's pleasure, after all, is much affected by the quality of one's neighbor's even though one may not bo on speaking terms with them. A pleasant, bright face at tho window is better than a discontented and cross one; and a house that has the air of being inhabited is preferable to close shutters and unsocial blinds, excluding every ray of sunlight and sympathy. We like to see glancing, cheerful lights through the windows of a cold night; or watch them, as evening deepens, gradually creep from the parlor to the upper stories of the houses near us. We liko to watch the little children go iu and out the door, to play or go to school. We liko to see a whito robed baby dancing up and down at tho window in its mother's arms, or tho father reading his newspaper there at evening; or any of those cheerful impromptu home glimpses, which, though we aro no Paul Pry, we will assert make a pleasant neighborhood to thoso who livo for comfort instead of show. Sad, indeed, some morning on waking, it is to see the blinds down and shutters closed, and know that angel's death, whilo it spared our threshold, has eroded that of our cheerful neighbor; and to miss tho little whito-robed baby from the window, and see the little coffin at nightfall borne into the house. Sad to see innocent little faces pressed at oventide against the window pane, watching for the 'ucar pap' who has gone to his long home. A Faith (til Do?. The widow of Lieut. Pficff of Illinois, was enabled to find her husbands grave at Pittsburg Landing by seeing a dog which had accompanied tho Lieutenant to the war. The dog approached her with the most intense manifestations of joy, and immediately indicated to hor as well as he was able his desire that she should follow him. She did so, and be led the way to a distant part of the field, and stopped before a single grave. She caused it to be opened, and there found the body of h;r dead husband. It appears from tho statements of some of the soldiers that when Liout Pficfi fell his dog was by his side, and thus remained licking his wounds, until he was takem from the field and buried. He then took his station by the grave, and nothing could indnce him to abandon it but for a sufficient length of time each day to satisfy his hungor, until by some means he was-raade aware of the presence of his mistress. 1 Thus had ho watched for twelve days by tho grave of his slain master. Why is a loafer in a printing "offico like a shade tree? Because we are glad when he leaves. The largest room in the world is the "room for improvement. Too Busy. A merchant sat at his office-desk, vari ous letters were spread before him; his whole being was absorbed in tho iutrica cics of his busines.'. A zealous friend of mankind entered the fliee: "I want to interest you a little, in a new effort for the temperance cause," said the good man. The mwrchant cut him off by replying: "Sir, you must excuse me; but really I'm too busy to attend to thatsubject now." "But,sir, intern perence is on the increase among us.'' said the friend. "Is it? I am sorry, but I am too busy at present to do any thing." "When shall I call again, sir?" "I cannot tell. I am very busy. I am busy every day. Excuse me, sir, I wish you a good morning." Then bowing the intruder out of the office, he resumed the study of his papers. The merchant had frequently repulsed the fnnds of humanity in this manner. No matter what was the object, he was too busy to listen to their claims. He had even told his minister he was too bu3y for any thing but to make money. But, one morning, a disagreeable stran ger stepped very softly to his side, saying, "Go home with me." The merchant laid down; his head grew dizzy, his stomach felt faintand sick, ho left the couutingroom, went home, aud retired to his chamber. His unwelcome visitor had followed him, nd now took his place by his bed-side, whispering, ever and anou, "You must go with me." A cold chill settled on the merchant's ieai-t; dim spectres of ship3, notes, houses aud lands, flitted before his excited mind. Still his pulse beat slower, his heart heaved heavily, thick films gathered over his eyes, aud his tongue refused to speak. Then the merchant knew that the name of the visitor was Death. All other claimants on his attention, except the friends of Mammon, had always found a quick dismissal in the magic phrase "I am too busy" Humanity, Mercy, Religion, had alike begged his influence, means' and attention iu vain. But when Death came, the excuse was powerless; he was compelled to have leisure to die. Let us beware how wo make onrselves too busy to secure life's great end. When the excuse rises to our lips, and we are about to say, that we aro too busy to do good, let us remember, wo cannot be too busy to die. Washington and the Corporal. During the American Revolution, it is said, the commander of a little squad was giving orders to those under him relative to a log of timber, which they were endeavoring to raise to the top of some military works they were repairing. The timber went up with difficulty, and on this account the voice of the little man was often heard in regular vociferations of "Heave away! there she goes! heave ho!" An officer, not iu the military costume, was passing, and asked the commander why he did not take hold aud render a little aid. The latter astiiiished, turning round with the pomp of an emperor, said, "Sir, I am a corporal," "You are, arc you?" replied the officer, "I was uot aware of that;" and taking off his hat and bowing, the officer said, "I ask your par- Jon, Mr. Corporal," aud then dismounted. and lifted till the sweat stood iu drops on his forehead. When the work was finished, turning to the commander, he said, Mr. Corporal, when you havo another such job, and have not mon enough, send for your commander-in-chief, and I will come and help you a second time." The corporal was astonibhed. It wa3 Wash ington who thus addressed him Adam Smith. This distinguished philosopheer was re markable for absence of mind. It is related of him, that having one Sunday morning walked into his girden at Kirk-caddy, o'resscdin little more than his night gown, he gradually fell into a reverie, from which he did not awaken till he found him self in the streets of Dunfermline, a town at least twelve miles off. He bad iu real ity trudged along the king's highway all that distance in pursuit of a cerUla tram of ideas, and he was only stopped in his progress by the bolls of Dunfermline, which happened at that time to b ringing the people to church. His appearance in a crowded church, on Scotch Suuday morning, in his nightgown, is left to the imagination of the reader. ' Think or it. Out of debt, every sixpence you got ahead is your own; you may look on with unalloyed sensation of right to save it or spend it, to turn it in any fashion it is cqueal to. But in dobt, your money is not your own. It belongs to him to whom it isdue, to him who patient-lv toiled for itearned it. Fur th A m tnnan M.n gur. Miss Salome. The pleasant echo of a Sabbath-bell was dying away in the valley, when tw little sisters sUrtod for the village church. These little oucs were dressed in pure Vihite, with beautiful embroidery on their frocks, and Ling plumes in their straw huts; they carried dainty fans, and gay parasols. It must bo confessed that tbeie children enjoyed walking up the broad aisle, followed by their mamma, who looked very much like a lady in the last fashion plate. They fancied that simple village children would look enviously st the strangers from the city who ecadecended to worship with them. Just before the service commenced, a very plain woman-soatcd herself quietly in the same pVw. Cora shrugged her little shoulders, and directed her sister's attention to the old fashioned dress, and black mitts through which fingers peeped, not white and soft like their mother's hands, but stained and worn with work. Whn this woman raised her bowed head, the little girls looked into her fac, and glaneed mea uingly at each other. It was a wrinkled face, deformed by scars telling of some fearful accident, and tho scanty hair ua-dcr the lace cap was vcay gray. Cora looked at her mother complacently, as she gently fanned herself, a ring glit. tcriug with every motion of her baud: she liked to see the soft color on her rounded cheek, instead of ugly Bears. After church, the children exclaimed, "O mamma that was the homeliest woman we ever saw." There was a low-roofed cottage in this village, with honey-suckle climbing by the door, and sweet-briar near the porch, in the midst of a dear old garden, where demask roses grew, and largo berries ripened. The Fetting-room looked cool and inviting when the very plain woman opened the door ul'ter church, she was tired and warm, but did not think of stopping to rest. Oue road lcadiug from the village was very sandy, unshaded Yy a single tree; along this burning path this womau hastened, carryiug a covered bosket. Tho duor of a small browu house was opened; there a poor woman lay, in the agony of fever. Most quietly the visitor entered the room, and set herself to comfort the sufferer. With gentle art she smoothed the pillows, and bathed hor; without a disturbing sound she gave the room a peaceful air, aud then sat down with a fan, to quiet the fever by the sweetness of a hymn sung so tranquilly that it was lost in sleep. Iu the gray duk of the early morning this watcher returocd to her cot- lage, having made the night less dreary for the invalid. Nut oue in tho village thought that Miss Salome was homely; she had a beauty of the heart which made rich and poor "rise up and call her blessed." From the garden went forth constant gifts of flowers atd fruit; into the cottage came the homeless aud friendless for consolation; in the kitchen continual dainties were made for the sick; thenco were carried loaves of bread for the hungry. In times of troublo, Miss Salome was ever sent for; she closed many eyes in death. It happcued during the summer, that tho mother of thce little girls grew very ill; the children were banished from tho room; they sat on the cool piazza, with sober facos. "We must fend for Misa Sa-lome," siJ the physician; "she will do her good.'' Wh-:n Cora faw tho woman with tbo scarred face entor her mother's room, sho did not again look scornfully on her plain dress; very gladly she heard how skilfully those worn finders soothed her mother's pain. Daily Cora stood without tho door aud waitod for that homely face to bring intelligence of her mother, uutil Bhe learned to think it a very lovely sight, especially when the news grew brighter, and the childron were allowed to enter the room softly. The mother too loved that wrinkled oountenance: through those lift she hoard new things about Jesus, until she resolved to go to him herself, and take her children to be blessed, like the mothers of old who sought Christ with, their little cues in their arms. . Ere Cera and her sislr left the Tillage, they became very much nt homo in tb.B cottage, and considers! Mips Salome a dear friend: forgetting now hor homrfy face, they longed in any way to resemble the woman who, like our dear Lord, came :-not to be ministered unto, but to minister."Hairy, who boards it C.
