Stenewall Jackson.
[The memory of Stonewall Jackson has
received few tributes more touching in sim
plicity and pathos than the following beauti
fui poem, published in the New York Citi
sen, of which Mr. Charles G. Halpine is
the editor. Mr. Halpino himself is a poet
of rare taste, was an officer in the United 1
States army during the late war, and is well I
known to fame as "Private Miles O'Reilly."
The poem in question, he says, is from the
pen of a distinguished officer of the United
States Navy.-Petersburg Express.]
He sleeps all quietly and cold
Beneath the soil that gave him birth,
Then break his battle-brand in twain,
And lay it with him in the earthl
No more at midnight shall he urge
His toilsome march among the pines; t
Nor hear upon th,, morning air
The war-shout of his charging lines.
Cold Is the eye whose meteor-gleam f
Flashed hope on all within its light ;
And still the voice that, trumget-toned,
Rang through the serried ranks of fight.
No more for him shall cannons park,
Or tents gleam white upon the plain ; a
And where his camp fires blazed of yore, d
Brown reapers laugh amid the grain I
No more above his narrow bed
Shall sound the tread of marching feet, '
The rifle volley and the crash
Of sabres when the foemen meet.
And though the winds of autumn rave,
And winter snow fall thick and deep, t
Above his breast-they cannot move e
The quiet of his dreamless sleep.
We may not raise a marble shaft t]
Above the heart that now is dust; t;
But nature, like a mother fond, ti
Will ne'er forget her sacred trust.
Young April, o'er his lowly mound,
Shall shake the violets from her hair;
And glorious June, with fervid kiss,
Shall bid the roses blossom there.
And round about the droning bee,
With drowsy hum, shall come and go; s;
While west winds a!l the livelong day W
Shall murmur dirges soft and low. Ic
The warrior's stormy fate is o'er, ic
The midnight gloom hath passed away;
And like a glory from the East,
Breaks the first light of Freedom's day !
And white-winged Peace, o'er all the land,
Broods like a dove upon her nest;
While iron war with slaughter gorged, di
At length hath laid him down td' rest. t,
And where we won our onward way,
With fire and steel, through yonder wood, if
The black-bird whistles, and the quail g;
Gives answer to her timid brood.
dr
Yet oft ini dreams his fierce brigade
Shall see the form they followed far, of
Still leading in the farthest van-
A landmark in the clouds of war, to
And oft when white-haired grandsires tell
Of loody struggles past and gone,
The children at their knees will hear ne
How Jackson led his columns on t

ASoTfas CONsTITUTIONAL AMENDiEwr.- les
It is rumored that a prominent member of w
the Committee on Reconstruction has pre
pared, and means to offer in Congress, in a id
few days, the subjoined additional amend- flu
minent to'the Constitution. It meets with tin
great favor, and will be engineered with es- n
pecial energy by the projector of several t,
great, but still incomplete military enterpri- sat
Des. It is as follows: int
AnRTIZLS XCV. That no State shall be wil
admitted to representation in Congress
until, by a provision embodied in its funda- 1
mentallaw, it pledges its citizens never to foll
claim restitution of any pianos, watches, 1
finger rings, spoons, silk dresses, books, Me
pictures, sideboards, wines, liquors, carria- Ial
ges, and other portable property which may the
at any time, under the pressure of military ma
necessity, have been transferred, shipped, HI
removed or carned away from their resi- pre
deunces, cellars, grounds, outhouses, or sta- sor
bles, and delivered into the scare and keep- ato
ing of loyal citizens of New England-and the
all persons claiming or asserting title to the
any such portable property so removed, mir
shall be excluded from the basis of repre- sai,
sentation, and be forever disqualified to lak
hold any office of trust or proflit under the in
State or General Government.-- [Richmond tha
EBnqnirer. ly,
The Central Directory,
Is there in all history. a parallel to the
" Reconstruction Committee?" Did the
statesmanship of any age or country, ever
conceive an institution of analogous char
it acter? It is an inquest on a nation; and
x by its decision the liberties of a great peo
ple are to be determined for all tirre.
" The profoundest of political philosophers
ax vowed his inability to frame an indictment
against a whole community; but the con
Sclave of which Mr. 'Thad. Stevens is the
d presiding genius, assumes to convict sover
eign States of crime, and to demand against
it them the penalties of disfranchisement.
1. Are the men who control the counsels of
Government, so deficient in power of ob
0 servation, th.it they cannot discern for
themselves the temper of the Southern
0 people? Are they so incapable of general
10 izing obvious facts, that they must solicit
0 the assistance of any casual individual to
tell them the condition of the Southern
States? Whatever be the truth of the
0 matter, it is no', in the vanity of )fr. Sum
t ner to confess this inability. He plumes
a himself on his statesmanship, and would be
prompt, of his own impulse, to pronounce
dogmatic judgment on the character and
circumstances of the Southern community.
No ; the junto of fifteen is instituted for
another purpose than to declare the condi
tion of the " Confederate" States, and in
struct the intelligence of an ignorant Con
gress.
i- It originated in an impulse of unappeas
i[ able animosity to the South ; and its do
sign is to collect evidence that may justify
the disfranchisement of the Southern peo
t ple. 'lThis was the final cause of its crea
d tion; and nothing is more foreign to its
II purpose than to shed a ray of honest light
, on the subject of its investigation. It is a
plagiarism of Mr. Stanton's pet invention;
e it is the Military Commission in a civil
d guise, and directed to the destruction of an
entire community.
The measure of justice meted to Mrs.
Surratt, is reserved for the South by this
committee of Reconstruction. Its pro
coeedings are a copy from the Record of its
blood-stained prototype; only they are
exaggerated to an enormity of proportion
commensurate with the scope of its more
comprehensive purpose. Instead of a soli
tary Baker to " work up " its case, its de
tective, is the Freedman's Bureau, and in
every village of the South it subsidizes an
informer. Its witnesses are collected with
painful partiality; nor do we doubt but its
foregone conclusion will be supported by
evidence quite as unimpeachable as that
which established the atrocities of Ander
sonville among the indisputable facts of
history. Indeed, the thing is done already.
Has not an aged spinster, yclept " Clara
Barton " been examined by "Mr. Howard ;"
and did not this philanthropic female, un
der the skillful manipulations of her inquis
itor, develop a reign of deviltry in the
South that should shock the moral sense of
Christendom? I[e who doubts it, need
but betake himself to the supplement of
The Tribune, where, in copious complete
ness, he will find the testimony of Miss
Clara Barton.
But, despite its ludicrous aspect, this
Reconstruction Committee is a very bad
and shameful business. It is a reproach to
the public intelligence; it is an affront to
every sentiment of truth, honor andjustice;
it is the opprobrium of republican govern
ment-it accumulates within itself all the
fabulous horrors of the Star-Chamber and a
the Inquisition. God grant that its catas
trophe may exhibit as signal an instance of
tretributive chastisement.-[New York
News.
A Happy Woman,
"What are you singing for?" said I to a
Mary Maloney.
"Oh, I don't kpow ma'am, without it is
because me heart feels happy."
"Happy, are you, Mary? Why, let me
see, you don't own a foot of land in the
world."
"Fut of land, it is ?" she cried with a
loud laugh, "Oh, what a hand ye be after a
joke. Why, sure, I've never a penny, let a
lone a fut of land." 4
"Your mother is dead."
"God rest her soul. yis," replied Mary, a
with a touch of genuine pathos. "The c
Heavens be her bed."
"Your brother is still a hard ease, I sup- i
pose ?
"Ye may well say that. It's nothing but
drink--drink, and beat his wife-poor cray
ture."
"You have to pay your sisters's board:"
"Sure, the bit crayture! and she's a good
little girl, is Hinny, willin to do whatever I
axes her. I don't grudge the money that ,
goes for that."
"And you haven't many fashionable a
dresses, either ?"
"Fash'nable, is it? Oh, yis, I put a bit e'
of whalebone in me skirt, and me calico d
gown spreads as big as the leddies. But bh
then you say true; I haven't but two gowns o
to me back, two shoes to me fut, and wun tl
bunnit, barren me old hood." bh
"You haven't any lover ?"
"Oh be off with yez! catch Mary Malo- t,
ney wid a lover those drys, when the hard ,
times ia come."
"What on earth have you to make youa
happy ? A drunken brother, a poor help 1:
less sister, no mother, no father, no lover
why, where do you get all your happiness ?"
"The Lord be praised, Miss, it growed up
in me. Give me a bit av sunshine, a clean ly
flure, plenty o' work and a sup at the right
time, and I'm made. That makes me laugh
and sing. And thin, if troubles come, I try
to keep my heart up. Sure it would be a
sad thing if Patrick McGuire should take it
into his head to ax me; but the Lord !s
willin' I'd try to bear up under it." ju
i The Portage Lake Gazette has the
following story:
This fall nearly all the ministers of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, stationed on
Lake Superior, went down to conference on
the famous propeller Lac La Belle, the first
mnate of which is a gruff but dry old joker. M
Having heard that there were hmlf a dozen
preachers on board, he remarked in a gruff
sort of a way that the trip would be a
stormy one. "How so?" inquired one of A
the ministers, who happened to overhear Ri
the remark. "Because there's so many foi
mintsters on board,"said the mate. "Why," DT
said the minister, "I've travelled on the
lake for the last five years, and never was bu
in a stormn vet; how do you account for ha
that ?" "lhy," said the mate, hcitating.
1y, "perhaps you're not much of, preacher."
