' FWe years ago, this very night, ' I sat where now I am sitting: In the gentle starbeam's peaceful light, - And the evening shadows flitting And' darkness brought no shadowed woe To my drara of tender yearning: While calm below, was the river's flow ' And. the furnace fires were burning! How dark the world has grown since then, And I feel a sad misgiving I think of my hopeful weakness, when I found a joy in living. - I dream no more as in long ago, w J BufTgTlol'effiretu rriing:- -" Yet calm below the waters flow, 'And the furnace-fires are burning! UtisrctlaniT. THE SECOND MARRIAGE- BT UftS. H. PEASE. It was a most delicious day in June, when Hie simply seemed luxury. The glad sun had been shedding a pure halo of real joy all day, as if rejoicing that another day had been given to earth. I had been leaning buck, in the most delightful rovorie, in a luxurionsly cubhioned easy-chair, not so much as thinking for the faculties of neither soul. mind, nor spirit were in the least engaged; memory oxly was busy, float ing back over the past in a kind of inus itiy, indolent reverie when 1 was sud denly aroused and brought back to the realities of the present, by the entrance of th penny postman, bowing silently, and laying down a more than usually large amount of post-office matter. Mechanically I commenced examin ing letters -there were juUe a nuiaber until my attention was attracted to a neatly-folded envelope, indorsed in a familiar hand. I should have known sister ICaxo's chirogaph,y among a thou sand. Running my eyes hastily over the lines, I hud taken in their contents in a moment; hut then it all puzaled me. There were but a few lines only say ing, so briefly and unsatisfactorily: "Dear Brother Harry: I am com missioned to bid you to come to the old brown homestead, on Thursday of nest week, at four o'clock. All well, and the friends send kind remembrances. Remember, four o'clock; but not one moment sooner. Ask no questions, make no conjectures; all mysteries will be explained, in due tiase. Yours till Thursday. Kate HARRINGTON." Well, now, that didn't explain itself. Did it? And what did it all mean? Kate was dealing in riddles for once. And I was to be kept in miserable suspense five whole days; yes, Thursday of next week, it said. Turning the envelope, I found the motto (Kate always used mottoes) con tained two tiny hearts united together by a band of black.- "Make no conjec tures," Kate had said. . . But in the quiet sa actum of my bachelordom I couidn't help remember ing a mournful day, four years before, when a slender, fragile, f. rm had hung upon my arm. And Kate's heartstrings had bent and swayed almost to bursting as the hollow sounds reverberated back when the clods first fell upon Henry's coffin lid. And, since that time, how I had never made a visit to the cherished old home stead, without spending the first even ing after tea, in a long walk to the same hallowed resting-place. Kate had al ways proposed it, And then she al ways liked to talk of all the bliss of her young wedded life; and how altogether and entirely different Henry was from all other gentlemen she had ever met. When L had only hinted the pro priety of changing her sombre garments she said: ''Don't Harry; don't ever ask me agai n. I wouldn't feel natural in anything else. These best suit my feelings, and why shouldn't I always wear them? Kate was young. Not half way on t',ie gloomy side of twenty; and to meet it djd seem like an unnecessary entomb ing af her vooiij; aflection. But when ventured to rally her on the frequent visits! o.f a, young clergyman, with a wid owed heart also, she always shook her head so mournfully, saying: '0 Harry! dou, , ever say that again. It is so like sacrilege. Jever, Harry, uever, JJon t you know my anections are all buried in Henry's grave? It is out minister, Can't he coiye without susp lcionf And 1 telt conaemned when 1 saw the moisture gathering in Kate's eyes. But, then, two hearts united by the black band was very significant. ' But I was not to conjecture; and so I laid it all away, just there, and tried to wait patiently until Thursday of next week. - had been standing at the depot full two parts of the la rt hour, impatiently waiting to hear the shrill whistle of the locomotive, when it came, puffing and steaming up, like a thing of life. t the cry of 'all aboard," we were off like a tangent. -But, somehow, the cars were provokingly slowj it was now fully two o'clock, and I should ha,ve two miles to walk after I renched the station. But time never lags; neither $o railroad trains when the steam is up; and just fifteen minutes before tour o'clock, I found myself walking up-' the broad, gravel walk leading to the capacious old brown farm-house, where my boyhood had been passed, and where memory still loves to linger. But I had no taste for moralizing on ttrapg jast then. Affectionate salutation to father and mother being ev?r, m.y eager inquiry was, 'Where is Kate?" I saw a tear trembling in raj mother's eye as she locked very deep into mine, as if to rfti'i my thoughts; then an swered, in her old,, calm, soft, winning way: "In her own room, Harry, dressing to be married." . "O mother!" It was all I could say. For past memories were blurring my eyes and choking my voice, and I fairly ..broke down, without one, word of comment; for Kate's uniform answer,, "never, Harry, never; it is so .like sacrilege would come up to silence them all; and, had loved Kate s Henry as a brother. . How I J id want to see Kate: but then I dreaded the meeting. 'M J ; .tWr read niv feelings, and said site did Dot wish to see any one until she started forji uuurcu. ''Then she is to be married in church.3 "O yes; she couldn't bear, te be mar ried in that same room." t :' It was but a few minutes before toy feelings had time for reaction until Mr. Parker, the young clergyman, Was announced; he had but a single attend ant, a brother minister. ' When Kate made her appearance! sW tuere TTass ioo ostentation; sfie feanisa upon the arm of a young widow friend As her eyes met mine, the blood rushed to her face, and then retreated, leaving her paler than before Placing her fin ger on her lip, she extended her hand; and when I took it in mine it trembled, and was icy cold. And I knew how deep qienjory was stirring the . fount of other years. I knew there was a cherished picture, hung in the inner chamber of that on aftcrtime, or affection, circumstance, could ever efface and was satisfied. As Kate stood at the altar, calmly giving the responses required in the beautiful church ritual cementing two hearts into one -"so long as ye both do live,"' I saw her head turned once, .in quiringly, as if fancy was busy, bring ing back a tall figure that had. once stood by her side. Andonemory, too, was aiding in calling p the bright phantom of another bridal party, that belonged to other days. . The last eve before I. was to leave the scenes and home of early life, as I stood by Henry's grave, I was alone; and I marveled, stauding there, if it would be always so, and called it wo man s fickelness. But, when I have gone to vis;t Kate and her other choice, I have learned mare charity. When I have Been how the lonely sadness and sorrow has been lifted from Kate's young brow, and what a contented trust is settled here again not like the gushing toy of a first blissful experience, but a quiet, holy calm, as if it were all earth had to give now, and the sou was content with her giving. And Kate would take some conveni ent season, when Mr. Parker was absent. or engaged in his study, to take my arm saying so naturally: "Harry, brother will you walkf Involuntarily our footsteps always lead to the same termi nation. And then, standing beside that sacred sno.t, Kate loves still to glide back to the blissful days thai, werer-. and to talk of love's e rly dreamspund to ask me, so artlessly, if Henry wasn't an a Toun;, trusting neart could wish for if she hasn't reasons to treasure the memory of their short wedded life? But it does not at all mar Mr. Park er s peace or bappmt$it; he Knows IV ate is a happy, cheerful, contented, affec tionate wife to him all he could de sire her to be and he would not have her forget her buried love ah, no, he is not so selfish or exclusive; he could not respect her, if she were to. But it is not best she should make any demon stration in his presence. It would not be necessary. Ho, too,iias a cherished picture a loved memory that once made sunlight in his dwelling he has enshrined, hung away among the treasured mementoes of life's early joys. Oh, he could not tear it from its niche in memory's gallery for affection and sorrow have both aided in carving that lithograph , upon the tablets of bis heart. Kate knows it, although he never told her. When they have a quiet, cozy, social, domestic evening at home, around their own hearthstone as every happy fam ily have they never take up the tale of the past; they only look so hopefully, to the future and take up a song of sincere thanksgiving for present bless ings. -" : Falling from Grace. lhe Kight Kev. ben.- .Leomdas Jrolk, since he doffed the mitre and clutched the sword in the rebel service, has suf fered somewhat from his associations, and speaks Arkansas -English with flu ency. A correspondont writing from Louisville, men t io,us the old crusader; Itiink the Right Reverend Bishop General Polk, if some one has not slan dered him, sent a flag of truce to the devil, when he laid aside the sword of the spirit and took up the carnal weap ons of Jeff Davis, and has since fallen into the habit of the army of Flanders. It is stated on the authority of a gen-, tleman, who was present, that when a notice of inquiry was sent down to Co lumbns by Gen. Grant, after the battle at Belmont, in which the action was mentioned as a "skirmish," the Bishop General on reading it exclaimed. "Skir-m.i.-h! hell and damnation! I'd like to know what he would call a battle!" EVEXIKG SPORTS, Fruit Basjert. The girls and hoys are seated in a circle. One of their number stands in the center. Each one takes, the name of some particular fruit, viz: Apples, plums, nectarine, Jerusalem artichoke, cherry, peach, &c. When all are named, they form collectively the fruit basket. The one in the centre then shouts the name or some one fruit; for instance, . he will say, 'plum, plum, plum," three times rapidly. If before he says it the third time, the plum cries out her on name, he calls upon some other fruit if uot, she forfeits her seat, and takes the post of the orier. When the crier shouts suddenly "fruit basfat," all shout their respective titles, and hur riedly exchange seats with their neigh bor. If the; odd one is on the alart, he often can secure a seat in the general scramble, and his unsuspecting victim finds himself standing in the ceater, scarcely knowing how he got there.

C. - A few days ago the subject of a lettsr written by a Dr. Hopkins in i egard to a secret league of traitors in the non slaveholding States under the name of the Knights of the Golden Circle was brought) to the consideration of Con gress. Two members of the House of Representatives, Mr. Chandler and Mr. Howard, both of Michigan, attested the existence of the letter. It has since beer published in the" Detroit Tribune and republished in some of the New York papers. It gives an account of the success of Hopkins, its author, ia organizing branches of the troa-asonahle conspiracy in several of the States, and refers in very plain terms to its object, which is to rise against the Government of the United States and aid the rebels of the South in its overthrow. Unques tionably the letter will now be laid be fore the public in a firm that will pre clude all dispute as to its genuineness. For sometime past we have not doubted the existence of a Northern rebel or ganization) small, to be sure, in num bers, but fierce aid. viruleDt in purpose. e could name several newspapers, which, beyond all question, in, our minds, are conducted under its infl,ueuce and for the furtherance, .fits objects. Those papers profess indeed to be loyal to the Union, for they are afraid of the swift retribution that they know would follow any open exhibition of treason; but they dtlligently devote themselves to the selection and publication of such matter as they deem calculated to dis pirit the friends of the Union and, to encourage the rebels, and they expect and find their reward in the liberal pat ronage of rebels m Kentucky, Missouri and elsewhere. ' The Jse York Evening Post, oae of the ablest and most respectable papers in the country, says that the testimony of the two Michigan members of Con gress to the existence of the rebel con spiracy in the North was not uecessary. It says that the Knight3 of the Golden Circle have for months had their clubs in New York City tltat the noted rebel General, Guata,vus W. Smith, nnd his deputy, Lavell. belonged to it before they joined tho S3Uth,erii arm v. It adds that so confident were these plotters at one time of success that they began to indulge in threats of vengeance against those who supported the United States Government, and it refers to t lie case of a prominent citizen, who, speaking zealously on all occasions against the heresy of secession was given to under stand that, if not more quiet, he would have his throat cut. The Post says that we were on the eve of a Northern in surrection, and that there would have been on if the popular feeling in that section had not declared itself with ir resistible energy on the side of the Con stitution. The Michigan members of Congress affirm that one of the effects of the con spiracy has been to " get some of the worst enemies of the Union and the Constitution into the army, where they now are, all working upon that high vantage ground, with all their might, in favor of the rebellion. This may ac count for the conduct, otherwise inex plicable, of some of our military officers in high positions, and afford some clue to the deep mystery of the frequent pro mulgation, among the rebels, of the pro foundest secrets of our military author ities at Washington and elsewhere. Correspondonco of the Philadelphia PreM. A Letter for the Times. Rough Truth by J. W. Fer 114.7-, Washington, March 30. A genuine Democrat is always the friend of his country, nis creed is the Constitution and the Union. He has that reverence for his flag which en shrines it among the divinities or his conscience. He worships it as the em bodiment of toleration, liberty, and law To tell such a man that the heretofore recent leading oracles of the Democracy are now in arms against this flag, is-sot to insult, but to gratify him, because he knows it to be true. The fact is, the rebellion deprived the old Democracy of its most gifted, most reckless, most powerful leaders. One reason for their forcing on the war, was, because they believed that, having so long dictated terms to "the party," they could carry the Democratic masses with them when they resolved upon secession. They had taken ample and systematic precau tions to this end. I have it from the best authority that Mr. Jefferson Davis had manipulated certain of tho Breck inridge chiefs in the Free States so ef fectually as to lead him and his -followers to believe that when the Cotton States passed into the outer gloom of treason, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and at least the city of New York, would follow them. Now, is it for a moment to be supposed tha't the Breckinridgera. so ready to enter into this transfer of their own States and cities to men whom fhey knew to be s ready to attack this Union, have ever forgotten, or can ever forget, the compact thus entered into? Are these Breckisridgers not willing, at the first moment, to. attempt the fulfill ment of .their contract? Are not their private letters "tf the secession 'leaders in possession of the latter, and will not these letters be forthcoming, if, in the event of the triumph of your so-called Democracy, the Breckinridge leaders should refuse to cirry out the bargain? or to make such terms as will bring back the traitors to power, or 6ave them from the suspending baiter? - As pertinent to these questions, let me ask if you have. eTer gone- back to the time when most of the Breckeoridge papers in the free States were in danger of being mobbed and torn out after the fall of Fort Sumter? A number of them were torn out. Not one of thorn but did not tremble before the awakened wrath of the community around tharo. Some were indicted by Grand Juries; others had to be protected by the police; and others were peremptorily stopped by the Federal authorities. I will not ask why these demonstrations occurred; but I will ask if you can point to any one of these journals that is not mm filled with strong denunciations of the Administration and its friends, and timid reproaches of the rebels in arms? Are they not all clamorous for the re organization of the Democratic party? Are they not all against any combina tion of patriotic men under the name of UNION party? Their object h as plain as thair early treason was notorions, and the end of thei? victory will be the re cognition of the armed rebels, or their full forgiveness. The armed rebels are watching their movements with eager ness and joy. The reorganization of the Breckin redgers, and their determination to op pose all efforts at union between loyal men will, of course, force othje-y tvaty organizations. The question arises, how much is to be gained by allowing the Breckinridgers to triumph- under the name of Democracy? Would they sot labor for such, a compromise aa would disgrace tho army and the people? Are they not bound to this? That a decided majority of the people of Philadelphia are against these men, I firmly believe. The failure to unite these p,eo,p.le gave your last city election t the Breckinridgers. The loaders of parties a,ve noiat again forearmed aud in good saso!i. My belief is, after a somewhat careful consultation with loyal men, that no matter what name the com bination against these influences may assuw,ev whether Republican or Union. there is every disposition to do. all that can be done with honor to unite for the purpose of defsiUiug tU.e Breckinridge organization.

Sometimes the sub jects are taken from the external aad visible world: in sculpture, there in an exact copy, and tbe imitation is inme diately discernible; in painting, the rep resentation is an illusion, which, in a skillful production, cannot be detected; in poetty, proper descriptions are cou Yeyed by beautiful and; harmonious language.

Vol. Inf, ButtAio, Va, Maroh 26ti, 1862." ' Mr. Editor: The fact of my contin ued silence, since the early part of last fall, is explained on the ground that nothing new or important has ooeurred in tnis section. , ' Now, however, things are beginning to atir and change. The mud, which baa so long annoyed us and the whole Federal army, is beginning to dry up. The roads are getting good, the river is rising, and everything indicates an onward-move. ' -- Long and patiently hod" the army of the Kaaawba waited thronght the dreary winter months for the coming of spring, sunshine, and dry roads, in' the hope that we, too, may be favored with the opportunity of showing our loyalty to the Government, and hatred to re bellion, by earnest, activo and telling blows on the foe. The day is dawning, and now, with the Path' Finder at our head, we hope to move on over the .mountains and into the valley of Vir ginia, driving tho traitors and rebels before us. The joy of the army on this river at the appointment of John C. Fremont to its command, is unbounded. Last fall when the news of his removal reachad us, the deprecations and curses of the officers and men knew no bounds. Ev ery soldier loved Fremont, and looked upon his humiliation as the work of black-hearted, 'villainous office-seekers and politicians. The sequel shows that he teas a hunted, persecuted man, and that the faults of the department of Missouri were chargeable to the circum stances and not to the commander. He is now a vindicated -man. -His character stands out in bold relief be side that of the contemptible blood hounds who persecuted and tried to ruin him. ! All hail Maj. Gen. John C. Fremont! We will gladly do your bid,dipg, for we know triumph and glory are tare wher ever you lead' the way. The past winter has had an . effect upon our army. . Many have died. On the mountain back of Charleston there is many a hillock marking the last rest ing place of the'so'dier, Had,- indeed. are our thoughts amid this village -of dead patriots. - Out of their graves they speak to the living in tones of thunder. Their deaths muBt be avenged. -They have fallen far from home and-those they loved so dearly. N dear mother, wife or siHtor sits beside the gloomy grave of the dead to moisten the sod with tears of love. No loved hand pressed the brow as tho. fingers of death began to paint the victim for the tomb. Strangers only stood near to watch for the last gasping utterances of the dying hero. In heaven above these have their reward. Nor are th,ey forgotten, here; a grateful country sheds tears for her loyal sons, and emblems their names in the records of undying love. . The armistice which was declared from on high, and which eould not be violated by us, has had a thousand good effects. The army in Western Virginia had ceased hostilities. For a season, at least, it appeared as if we had bo war. Many who were with tho rebels have had time to think and reflect. Ample opportunity was given to viow the sub ject agitating tne country in an its bearing. Who will not say that thou sands who, in the hurry and excitement of the campaign last summer and fall, were called rebels, and were, perhaps, disaffected, are to-day true, staunch Union men? The question, as to what It to b dose with the leaders of the rebellion when they return to their homes, and, by mock professions of loyalty, escape the clutches of the siilitary officers, receives ! a very appropriate answer in the follow- j ing, viz: , , j At a meeting of a portion of the Union : men of Putnam Co., V a., held st their Court-House, on the 24th day of March, 1862, the following proceedings were. had: ! On motion, B. P. Morris was called to i the Chair, and James W. Mines re- ! quested to act as Sscretary j Mr. Dudley S. Montague- stated the-) object of the meeting was to get some ; expression froiva th,e people in relation to j the return of the rebel, Hubert T. liar-! vey. On motion of Mr. Geo. (. Boyer, the; following persons were appointed a com mittee to draft resolutions expressive -of j the sense of this meeting; to wit: D. S. j Montague, A.M. Curry, John Boyer, ; Joseph Swayne and A. A. Young, who reported the following preamble aiid; resolutions, which were unaiiiuio-uslr adopted: . nUKBFAb, The arch 'miter, J'obert ' T. Harvey, regardless 1' the oath he : had taken to support t-fe Cont-titution, '. of the United Mates, has used every : means in his power to- destsojthe same, by exciting our people t le-bel agaitit ! the Government under wh-iV they have live 1 peaceably ami happily for over seventy years; and by inviting the rcbti hords to our peaceful valley to uiurder our people aui destroy our property, lias returned to- his home, in this county,; with iew of remaining, and. only aek "to b.e let alone." Therefore b? it i Jfctolved, That we have 1:0 faith in sny professions of reper-tan'e Ewid Har vey may make, and Ueiieve. ou,r people would be hotter off were he from among them. Resolved, That the said Harvey be re quested to take himself beyond the lines of the Federal army "instanter.' " Revived, That when we Med liia pres ence we will send for him. ,-t - ' Ordered thai tkes proceedings be published in the Kanawha fhpllican, Weekly Register, and that a copy be scat to the traitor, R. T. Harvey. ' B. P.- MORRIS, Chfa. Jamm W, Mixes, See'.' - ? The people have taken the case ef these leading rebels in their own bands. Col. Harvey was chief among those who preached and labored for secession la spring. He urged enlistment la the rebel army. Hundreds who are to-day disloyal would have been true 'but for this trait, is; ?- - , ,.r -. When Gea. !" crossed llie Ohio at Point Plejuuttt, this : rebel beatoned t the Southern army for protection, and baa been with them until within a few days. His own son, a member of a rebel company, was wounded at FortDonelson. nis father, who, It seems, was present du ring the engagement, returned to his homo with hie woujided boy, claiming protection, and. making hypocritical pre tensions of loyalty. Thus stands his case, the leading men of this county, now hated and dispised by tjfose wbora he tried to injure only a year ago.. '-The feeling is bo strong against him that he will have to leave, and that soon, else the traitoi's death will U meted to him. Is it right to treat returned rebels thus? Is it fair? Let the hunted, abused, cursed, imprisoned Union' men 'of this county aud Western Virginia answer. According t- the treatment rcacy re turned rebels have received from some of our Generals, it is an honor rather than a disgrace to belong to the enemies of our cQuatry-. n Let them be made to feel the weight of their crime. Let the vengeance' of an insulted, loyal people hurl upon the heads of these guilty leaders fo-sin, all the fury of their just wrath and'tndig nation. Property nor the life of a hated traitor should be sacred, ia tWfey.es of the Government. Let future ;gen-. eration tell of the 'terrible rengace meted to those who 8ared7 tatse the arm of rebellion agsinat.e, iclgktj 'and j tut Government. 4 H '' ; ' - - We have one company officered en tirely by Pomeroy won.
