DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1869.
From the Xenia Torchlight.
COLUMBIA, MY GLOHV.
BY XBS. IXU IRWIN LKE.
In dreams, through evening purples zoned
with stars.
I drifted to the Occidental Deep:
And back, twixt Palm and Pine, to the blind
bars
Whereon Atlantic breaks, and widows
weep.
And in my dreams, there floated up the hum
And murmur of the nations spread below;
And never heart was sore when tongue was
dumo.
And never heart but had a want or woe.
So, all these tongues, that, had the land
foe.
Had shrieked the " Scots wha' hae' wi'
Wallace bled."
Now. like avenging imps, flew to and fro.
To speed Belsliazzar's curse of Pride and
Dread.
Ye mighty ghosts of Tell and Winkeireid !
t-pea it wi tu y our gory tongues from glory
Shall Freedom, bought and sold for miser's
greea.
Set nations free, and stoop, herself a slave?
Yet so the voices spake ; anon ihe Celt,
Anon the Teuton and the Saxon, each
With each concession new restrictions felt
More rights he had, more claimed beyond
tils reacn.
But still, within my dreams,! onward sped.
Ana still the clamors lonowed me amain :
And still one subtile strain, celestial, spread
le-jjeumsTonnn auumro tne auuian pain;
As if the souls of the Heroic Dead,
At watch above the sights they sealed sub
lime. -
Saw, through the heavy tears the living
snea7
Columbia's Fntnre srllri the hiehts of time.
A yea aud nay is my inconstant story.
Like wrinkles crossed in sana aoove tne
tide:
As men abuse, Columbia, my Glory,
The lana wnere license io aouse is wiue.
1 heard the ring of bugles up the street.
That shook tne sammer-meilowed bun

And school her Celtic-children on her knee.
To take her coming freedom oy tne throat.

Of purple-dusted vintage of the Rhine,

The Sabbath of the new world is our due ;
The coming ages tremble in its spell.

Who slack not to deiraud us of an ell.

They settle to the stature ot a man.

O China, statue blind and dumb as blind !
Your idols you resemble, wood and stone:

At souud of every wail of human pain,

The souls by night that march to God in

Though daily stumbling thro' earth's

We feel ahead the latter Era tremble :
We have not wanted martyrs to the

And traitors now, who dare the truth dis-

Must hide before its advent out of reach :
For Freedom shall be free when Right is

When man is what he can, then man shall

The following critique of the above
poem is from tha pen of CoL Coates
Kinney, the well-known author of
" Kain on the Roof," one of the rarest
gems of American poetry, luminous in
every word and line with the " glow
and flash" of genius. A mere favora
ble mention from Col. Kinney would
have been a very high compliment :
To the Editor of the N'eiiia Torchliaht :
The poem, " Columbia. My (ilorv.
by Mrs. Emma Irwin Lee, read at the
recent Commencement of the Xenia
College, which you have evinced your
good taste by selecting for publication.
and which you were kind enough to
give me tne perusal ot in prooi-eheet,
is so decidedly superior to current an
niversary literature that I cannot re
frain from calling to it the attention of
those of your readers who are admirers
of genius and lovers of true poetry.
The poem has some crudities and ob
scurities of rhetoric ; the unpracticed
genius has struggled for expression; but
the genius isthere, most unmistakably,
and ten more years of literary labor
would put this woman in the very
front rank of American poetesses. In
deed, there are passages in this effort
that I do not believe there are even
now five other women in America capa
ble of producing. Verses that will
bear, and reward, intelligent study as
these will, are exceedingly rare in our
days of jingling wishwash and rhetor
ical nambypamby. There are all along
these lines the glow and flash of that
light which was never yet on land or
sea that light which, like the bright
eyes of Poo s Annabel Lee, cannot be
seen, but can only be felt.
Airs. Lee is, par excellence, A Now
Poetess. Whether she may not bo, par
eminence, The New Poetess, is only, in
my belief, a question of life and labor,

Yes that is the qaestion ! The fact
is. there seems to be no place in heaven

we know where he is and what he
bntit. and sleen is a gracious state:
but then he wakes up bright and early,
and begins tooting, pounding, hammer

questions; in snort, overturning ue
peace of society generally for about
thirteen hours out of every twentv-four.
Every body wants to know what to do
with him everybody is quite sure that

Infests the pantry to get flour to make

up to the garret, von tbink for a while
that you have settled the problem, till
you find what a boundless field for ac
tivity is at once opened, amid all the
packages, boxes, bags, barrels, and
cast-off rubbish there. Old letters,
newspapers,, trunks or miscellaneous
contents, are all rummaged, and the)
very reign of chaos and old night is in

spises more than ever the con V'mtion
alities of parlor life; in fact, be is-more
than ever an interruption in tbe way oi
decent folks who want to be quiet.
It is true, that if entertaining persons
will devote themselves exclusively to
him, reading and telling stories, he may
be kept quiet: but then this is discour
aging work, for he swallows a story as
Kuver does a piece of meat, and looks
at you for another anii another, with
out the slightest considera:ioo, so that
mis resource is ot short duration, and
then the old question comes back.
What is to be done with him?
Butafter all. Charleycannot be wholly
shirked, lor he is an institution a
solemn and awiul iact; and on the an
swer to the question. What is to be
doue with him ? depends a future.
Many a hard, morose, bitter man has
enme from a Charley turned off and
neglected ; many a parental heart-ache
has come from a Charley left to run tbe
streets, that mamma and sisters might
play on the piano and write letters in
peace. It is easy togelrid of him ; there
are fifty ways of doing that. He is a
spirit that can be promlly laid, but if
not laid aright will come back, by-and-
oy, a strong man armea, when you ein
not send him off at pleasure.
Mamma and sisters bad better pay
a little tax toCbarlev now, than a terri
ble one b v-and-by. There is something
significaut in tho old English phrase,
with whtcn our scriptures render us
familiar a man child a MAN-cbild.
There you have tbe word that should
make you think more than twice be
fore vou answer the question, "What
shall we do with Charley ?"
For to-day he is at your feet ; lo-day
you can make him iaugu you can
make him cry, you can persuade, coax,
and turn him" to your pleasure ; you can
make bis eyes fill an ) his bosom swell
with recitals of good and noble deeds ;
in short, you eau nji'uid him if you will
take the trouble. ' -
But look ahead some years, when that
little voice shall ring in deep bass tones;
when that small loot enaii nave a mau't.
weight and tramp; when a rough beard
shall cover that little, round chin, and
all tbe willful strength of manhood fill
out that little form. Then you would
give worlds for the key to bis heart, to
ue uum lo luru auu iiuiuo mm io yuur
will: but if vou lose that kev now he
is little, you may search for it carefully,
with tears, some other day, and never
nnd it.
Old housekeepers have a proverb, that
one hour lost in the morning is never
found all day. It has a significance in
this case.
One thing is to be noticed about
Charley, that, rude and busy and noisy
as he is. and irksome as carpet rules
and parlor ways re to him, he is still
a social little creature, and wants to lie
where tho rest of the household are. A
room ever so well adapted for play, can
not charm bim at the hour when tbe
family is in reunion ; he bears the voi
ces in the parlor and his play-room
seems desolate. It may be wanned by
a furnace and lighted with gas, but it is
hitman warmth and light be shivers for;
yearns for the talk of the family, which
he so imperfectly comprehends, and he
longs to takehis playthings down and
play Dy you, anu wiulwbbuj' promis
ing that of the fifty improper things
which he is liable to do in the prlor.
he will not commit one if you will let
him stay there.
This instinct of the little one is
Nature's warning plea God's admoni
tion. O, how many a mother who has
neglected it because it was irksome to
have the child about, has longed at
twenty-five to keep her son by her side
and be would not. Shut out as a little
Arab; constantly told that he i noisy,
that he is awkward and meddlesome,
and a nlaerne in general, the boy has
found at last his own c-impany in ihe
streets, in tbe b'llnviws and hedge,
where he runs till tl ay comes when
the parents want their ton, and tbe sis
ters their brother, and then they are
scared at the face he brings biek to
them, as he comes all foul and smuttv
from the companionship to which they
have doomed him. Depend upon it, if
it is too much trouble to keep your bov
in your society, there will oe places
found for him warmed and lighted
with no friendly fires, where he wh"
finds some mischief still for idle hands
to do, will care for him, if you do not.
You may put out a tree and it will
grow while you sleep, but a son you
cannot vou must take trouble for him
either a little now or a great deal by-and-bv.
Let him stay with you nt least some
portion of every day; bear his noise and
Lis iunorant ways. Put aside your
book or work to tell him a story, or
show him a picture ; devise still parlor
plm s for htm, for he gains nothing by
tieina allowed to spoil the comfort ot
the vb- le circle. A pencil, a sheet of
puper, and a tew patterns will some
times kp p him quiet by you for an
hour w hile you are talking, or in a cor
ner he may build a block-house, annoy
ing nohitlv. If he does now and then
di-iurli yon, and it costs you more

Ofall you can give your Ciarley, if
you are a good man or woman your
presence is the nest and sxfest tiling.
God never meant him to do without you
anv more than chickens were meant to
grow without being brooded.
Then let him have some place in your
house where it shall be no sin to ham
mer and pound and make all tbe litter
bis heart desires, and his various
schemes require. Even if you can ill
afford the room, weigh well between
that safe asylum and one which, it
denied, he may make for himself in the
street.
Of all devices for Charley which we
have, a few shelves which he may dig
nify with tbe name of a cabinet, is one
of the best. He picks up shells and
pebbles and stones, all oh.Ik and nds,
nothing comes amie; and if you give
him a pair of scissors and a little gum,
there is no end of tbe label be will
paste on, and ibe hours he may inno
cently spend sorting and arranging.
A bottle of liquid gum is an invalu
able resource for various purposes, nor
you mind though he varnish bis nose
and fingers and clothes, (which he will
do of course) if he does nothing worse.
A cheap paint-box, and some engrav
ings to color, is another; and if you will
give hi in some real paint and putty to

Gesebai. : Full of solicitude for the
futurof our country, I come ictYA my
nearz in my nana to learn tne conditions,
M'wAes and intentions of the people of
the (southern states, especially to as
certain tbe sentiments of that body of
Drave energetic aucl sell-sacriticing
men, who after sustaining the Cunfed
eiacv for four years, laid down their
arms, and swore alleeiance to the Gov-
ernment of tbe United States, whose
trusted aud beloved leader vou have
been. I see that interpreting States1
rights to conflict with national unity,
bus produced a violent reaction against
taem, wnicn is arming us toward con
solidation ; and also that so great a
country as ours even now is, and i
certainly to be, must have htate gov
ernments to attend io local details, or
eo further and tare worse. It is plain
to us, at the West and North, that the
continuance of semi-auarch v, such as
has existed for the last three years, in
lea states oi our union. I a reel v in
creases Ihe danger of cnntralizatior
swells our national expenditures, di
minishes our productions and our rev
enue, insures aouuis or our political
nd financial stability, depredates the
value of our national bonds and cur
rency, aud places the credit of the rich
est below that of the poorest nation in
cnristenaom. vve know that our cur
rency must be depreciated so long us
our bonds are below par, and that.
therefore, the vast business and com
merce of our country must suffer the
terriblii,evil of a fluctuating standard
of value until we can remedy the evil
condition of things at Ihe South. We
also see other mischief quite possible,
u not prooaoie, to arise, such as irom a
failure of crops, a local insurrection.
and so many other unforeseen contin
gencies, which may still more depreci
ate our credit and currency, provoke
discontent and disorder among our peo
ple, ana tiring aemagogicai agitation.
revolution, repudiation, and a thous
and unnamed evils and villainies on us.
We know that the interest of the peo
ple of the South are for law and order.
and they must share our role of good
Or ill. I believe everyone I know, who
reflects, believes that if ibe people ot
the Southern States could be at peace,
and their energy and good will he.iniiy
applied to repair the wastes of war,
recognize their business, set ihe freed
men peacefully, prosperously and con
tentedly at work, invito capital, enter

establish public confidence in our po
litical stability, oring our Government
bonds to a premium, our currencii to a
gold standard aud assure for themselves
aua tne wnoie nation a most nappy ana
prosperous future.
Seeing this anu now ail lust interests
concur in the work, I ask, the ollicets
and soldiers who fought for the Union
ask, every thinking man of the great
West aud North asks, why it can not be
done We are told by those who have
controlled the Government for the last
four years that the people of the South
will not ao is ; mat it ever a one at all
t must be done by the poor.t-iinole. un
educated, landless freed men and tbe
few whites, who, against the public
sentiment of the intelligent white peo
ple, are willing to attempt to lead, and
make tnetr living on tness ignorant,
nexpenenced colored people ; mostly
men who must be needy adventurers
or without any of those attributes on
which reliance for good guidance or
government can be placed. We are told
that this kind of government must be
continued at the South until six or
eight millions of intelligent, energetic
white people give in to it, or move out
of the country.
Now, 1 think, the Union army thinks
and the people of the North and West,
I dare say, believe there must be, or
there ought to be, a shorter surer wav
toget good government for all at the
South. We know that they who organ
ized and sustained the Southern Con
federacy for four years asrainst triizantic
efforts, ought to be able to give peace,
law, order ana protection to tbe whole
people of the South. They have the
interest and the power to employ, pro
tect, educate and elevate tbe poor freed
men, and restore themselves and our
country to all the blessings of which I
have just spoken.
The question we want answered is,
are they willing to do it ? I came down
to find what tbe people f the South
think of this, and to ask vou what tbe
officers and soldiers who served in tbe
Confederate army, and leading people
who sustained it, tbink of these things.
I come to ask more. I want to ask
you, in whose purity and patriotism I
here express unqualified confidence, and
as many good men as you can conve
niently consult, to say tvtat you thinkof
it, and also what you are willing to do
about it. I want a written expression
of views that can be followed by a con
currence of action. I want to know il
you and the gentlemen who will join
in that expression, are willing to pledge
the people of tbe Snath to a uoivslrous
and magnanimous devotion to restor
ing peace and prosperity to our com
mon country. I want to carry that
pleige high above the level of party
politics, to the late officers and soldien
of the Union army, and to the people
of tbe North and West, and (o ask
them to consider it, and to take tbe
necessary ac'ion, confident that it will
meet with a responce so warm, generous
and confiding, that we sball ee iy is

and impending storm.
know you arc a represimlative man in
deference and regard for the Union, the
the Constitution, and the welfare of the

the whole people of the South, but 1

pressions of their concurrence from tbe
principal officers and representative

DITIONS AND MAKES KNOWN HIS
WISHES BUT DOES MOT BAY HE WILL
FOBU1VE BOS EC BANS.
White Sulphur Springs,
West Va., August 26, lSOil.
General: I have had the honor to
r ceiv your letter of this date, and In
aec-ririi.-e with our suggestion, I
I... e on :cri ed w I n a number of geh
ilciiio trtln the South, in whose judg
ment Iluve collided, ai.tl who are ac
quainted w ith tho public sentiment of
their respective States. They have
kindly consented to unite with me in
replying to your communication, and
their names will be found, with my
own, appended to this answer. With
this explanation we Drooeed to irive
to give you the following statement of
wuai. we oeiieve to De the sentiment ot
the Southern people in regard to the
subject to which you reTer :
Whatever opinion may bave prevail
ed in the past in regard to African Bla
vory, or the right of a State to secede
from the Uniou, wo believe we express
the almost unanimous judgment of the
Southern people when thev declare that
thoy cousider theso questions were de
cided by the war, and that it i their
intention in good faith to abide by that
decision. Atihecloseof ihe war the
Southern people laid down their arms.
Hud sought to resume their former re
lations with the U n. ted States Govern
ment. Through their State Con vent tins
ttiey abolished slavery and annulled
their ordinances of secession, and they
returned to their personal pursuits i
n-ilh annrnnu In tnlnll .11 l.huir llllliu
under the Constitution of the United
States, which they bad sworn to sup -
port. If their action in these particft
lara bad been mot iu a spirit of frank
ness and cordiality, we believe the old
irritations would have passed away,
and the wounds inflicted by war would
nave neen in a great measure healed.
As lar as we are advised, the people of
the South entertain no unfriendly feel
ing toward the Government of the
Uuited States, but they complain that
their rights under tbe Constitution are
withheld from them in the administra
tion lhere f. Tlii idea that the people
are hosUu to the nenroes, Bud would
oppress them if . ; wer in their power
to do s.., is entiri y unfounded. They
have grown up in our midst, aod we
have been accustomed from childhood
to look upou theiu with kindness. , The
change iu the relations of the two
races has wrought no change in our
feelings toward them. They still con
stitute tbe important part ot our la
boring population Without their la
bor, the lauds of the South would be
comparatively unproductive. Without
the employment which Southern agii
cnlture atlorils, tbey would be destitute
of the means oc subsistence, and be
come paupeis, l pendent on public
bounty. Self-itin lest, even, if there
were no higher motives, would there
fore prompt the whites of the South to
extend to t he negroes cre and piofcc
tion. Toe import.int fact that tne two
races are, undet existing circumstances
necessary to eactfi other is gradually be
coming apparent . both, and ae be
lieve tuat, but i'oi iuiluences exerted to
stir up tho assio..of tho negroes, the
relations of the two races would soon
adjust themselves on u, basis of uiulu
al kindness nnd ndvautage. It is true
that the people oi the South, together
with the people of the North anu Vest
are, tor obvious reasons, opposed toany
systems of laws which would place tue
political power ot the country in the
bands of the negro race, but this njfc,
posttiuu springs irom uo leeliny of en
mity, butlroui atleep-seated couvictioii
that at present, the negroes have neith
er the intelligence, nor other qualifica
tions which are necessary to make them
sfe depositories of political uower.
They would inevitably be the victims
of demagogues, who lor selfish pur
poses, would mislead them, to .be seri
ous injury of the pub. ic.
The great want of the South is peace.
The people ean.estly desire tranquility
and ihe restoration of the Union. They
depreoate disorder aud excitement as
the, tuost serious oostacle to their pros
perity. They ask a restoration of rhuir
tight under the Constitution. If tliev
desire relief liotii oppressive misrule.
above all, they would appeal tt lheir
Countrymen for the re-establishment
tu the Southern States wfthat which
has been just y regarded as1 the birth
right of every A mericau, tbe right of
seil-goverument. Establish t hat ou a
firm basis, and we can. a!ely promise
ou behalf of theSiuthern people, that
they will obey the Constitutiou and
laws ot the United ctatcs, treat the ne
gro with kiudness and humanity, and
luinii every uuty lticunioent on peace
ful citizens loyal to-tbe Constitution ot
ilieir country. , ,
We believe Ihe above contains a suc
cinct reply to tbe general topics em
braced in your letter, and we venture
to say on behalf of the Southern peo
ple, and ot the officers and soldiers of
the late Coulederato army, tbat they
will concur in ull the sentiments which
we bave expressed.
Appreciating the patriotic motives
which have prompted your letter; and
reciprocating your expressions of kind
regards, we have the honor to be,

tive oi tne soutnern people.
Lee answers attcr tne same iashiou.
He speaks of the southern Democrats
throughout, as the only "peoplo of the
South." He asserts, contrary to
truth, that "the people of the
South," meaning the southern demo
cratic party, abolished slavery; and he
writes as though their whole submis
sion to the laws of the Union wasvolun-
tary, when it is well known that John
son had to use sharp words with the
rebel leaders to induce them to accept,
in words the abolition of slavery; and
it is even supposed that Grant and
Lincoln had to use something sharper
than words for the same purpose.
Finally, Lee adds, coolly, that the
only way to have peace is to let what
be calls 'soutnern people -that is to say
the southern democratic party rule as
they did before tho war, and trust to
them to 'treat with humanity and kind
ness' the political opponents.thesouth- j
em Republicans, whom he will not even !
allow to bo a part of the southern
people.
as to Lee s patriotism, wnereare tne
evidences of it? When a parcel of
demagogues in 18C1 began an insurrec
tion whose avowed omecc was to over
throw tho Union, and disgrace and ex
terminate the flag, Lee deserted from
the army, and went over to the enemies
of his country. Was that the act of a
patriot ?
Since the war ceased, Lee has been
sulking in Virginia. He has doubtless
great influence among the southern
democrats; ho might have used this
influence for the good of the country.
He might have told his admirers that
they ought to obey the laws ; that they
ought not to be intolerant of others'
opinions; that they do wrong to abuse
and kill the whites and blacks who
were loyal during the war, and
now. belong to the Republican party.
He might have told his adherents
thet peace means good will on both
sides. That would have been patrotic.
Has he done so ?
No; he has chosen to sulk, in silence,
determined apparently that tho restor
ation of peace and good will shall not
have the help of his potent voice.
Whatever influence he has had since
1K6-3 has gone to increase the noble ar
my oi "soreneatts ' in tne southern
states; the crowd of the dissatisfied
who feel in their hearts what Robert
Toombs spoke out the other day, that
"as the late war was produced by
the defeated democratic party in
I860, we shall never have peace till it is
restored in 1868."
But Lee's patriotism is no more use
ful than his humanity, of which ho
himself boasts would bo trustworthy.
When he talks about humanity and
kindness to those whom he wishes to
be left in helpless dependence, does ho
imagine that peoplo here forget An
dersouville and Belleisle? Does he
think men and women here forget the
cold and hateful cruelty of the rebel
commander-in-chief, who saw thous
ands of our brave fellows starve and
freeze under his own eyes in the hor
rible swamp of Belleisle, near Rich
mond? was Lee humane when our
men rotted in the Andersonville pen
and he refuses to write the brief order
which would have ensured them sulli
cient food, clean water and space to
aleep in? Was Lee humane, when in
grim and cruel silenoo ho suffered
thousands . of Union soldiers to
perish ot want and cold in llellislo
but a mile or two from Richmond,
wnicii ne constantly visited?

mistake if they think that every event
of the last seven or eight years is for
gotten in the northern states. There
are people here simple enough to think
that arrogance very little befits the
leaders of the late rebellion; and that
unhanired rebels are not perhaps
the most proper expounders of
the laws, or the most fit persons
to rule the country they did their best
to ruin. And even if our memories
were feebler than they are, thev are
likely to be refreshed when Wade
Hampton denounces southern Union
ists as "scalawags" who ought to be
driven out of society and out of the
country; when a thrice-perjured trait
or like Toombs asserts that there Whall
be no peace unless his feWow-demo-crats
can rule; when Cor, Xi ho, as the
Secretary of the Treasury, treacher
ously broke down tlie credit of the
United States before going over to tho
councils of faVis, now denounces
southern wKte Unionists as infamous,
and calls upon his hearers to give them
"no mor?y," but to "drive them from
the prfle'of socialand politicalsocietv;"
or when Lee, the most cruel and das
tardly ofall, guilty of the horrors and
miseries of Bellelsle and Anderson-
ville, haughtily demands that the re
bel leaders shall be restored to power,
and that we shall trust to his and their
"humanity and kindness."

Tbe Numinatiou of Rosecrans In Ohio,
Mr. Nasby, having lost his " post or-
fis"at Confederate Cross Roads, has
made a change of base. In his last to
the Toledo Blade he writes from
. Pepper's Tavern, Holmes Co.,
Ohio, Jooly 12, 1H(9. j
I left the Corners the day after I lost
my position and without any speshl
purpose wandered ip into my old
stampin grounds in Ohio. 1 wuz re-
ceeved with a corjality wich affected
nie profoundly. Them wich hed bin
turned bVit'iiv offises cood sympathize
with nrey and them wich hed never aot
em, fett It still more deeply, ez they
eggsaggerate tho benefits to "bo derived

I hed no difficulty in borrowin enuff
dollars uv the sturdy yeomanry uv
this section, to not only keep me afloat
here for a time, but to"pervide ngin a
passage through an Ablishn country of
sich need be. My expenses here will
be light, ez I am boardin and drinkin
ou tick exclusively. I told the land
lord the first day to mark it down ez it
wuz inconvenient to make change fifty
times per day. He possibly may wish
he hed taken the trouble to make
chanp-e.
The aay after tho Democratic State
Convenshen at Columbus we held a in
formal meetin uv the Democracy -at
the tavern, to wich I wuz stayift Uie
most uv the veterans bein there. The
seeen reminded me uv Bascofn's so
much that I actilly shed teeifs. Democ
rasy is alike everywhere. Ther wuz
the bar, with the big-bellied bottle
with tansy in it, and the big-bellied
bottle without tansy it ; ther wuz
the box 11V DiDes. the two lemons wich
are doomed never to "be yoosed ez lem-
on-joose weakens likker ; ther wuz
fepper, the larraiora, with his sleeves
rolled up. a leaviin onto his elbows on
to the bars behind him a portrate uv
Jacksom, m his fomin steed, wavinhis
sword toward the British ; beside it a
hand-feill for a mass Convenshun uv
the Dcestrick dast year, commensin
with the trooly . orthodox line : " Do
you want to marry a nigger?" in large
blwck type, with a picter uv Wendell
Phillips kissin a wench, at wich the
Dimocrasy haye indignated reglerly
for ten yeers. Seetid on bustid cheers,
empty nail kegs, and leanin on the
bar, wuz a groop wich wni simply a
dooplikit uv the X Roads, and so ak
kerit that I caught myself savin
" Deekin" lots uv times. I sed " Cap
tin " to a man who wuz so neer like
McPelter, ez to justify the suspicion
that the father uv the present Hugh
hed many yeers before bin a citizin uv
that visinity, but I wuz keerful not to
ao so agin, ivetchm me by the throte,
he sternly remark! : "Sir! don't put
eny uv them titles onto mo, sir. I wuz
no Captin, thank Heven." He wuz
pussified when I told him that his re
markable resemblance to a Confodrit
Captin occasioned the mistake, wich
pleased bim so that he to-wunst askt
me to take sulh'n. This onened a new
field to me, wich I worked. I diskiv
ered to-wunst an amazin resemblence
between all uv em and distinguisht
Southern commanders.
While waitin tfie return uv Son ire
Pettibone, wich wuz a delegate to the
State Convenshun, we fell to talkin u v
tne oia times wicn tried mens' soles,
in the earlier yeers uv the war. Pep-i
per, the landlord, gave a most aft'ectin :
remeniscence uv the shootin uv two
returned veterans, in the very rofom in
wich we sot. The spot on wiy they
fell, he hed put thetove rver that it
mite be kept sakrk Mr. Bortle, an
old saint, whose nose Wuz lightin his
path-way to the toom, hed a more
tragicle tale to tell. He wuz one uv
them wrct sholdered his fowlin peece
to roswt the draft up in this county,
and wuz taken by bloo-coated hirelins
and carted off to Camp Chnse where he
wuz kept in deorance vile for weeks,
with nothin whatever to live onto but
the yoosual rashens uv a soljer ! One
old relic uv the war, wich his name it
wuz Babbitt, accompanied Vallandy
gum through the lines, wich lines wuz
commandid bv Rosecrans. He wuz
present when that accursed villain t
that tool uv the despotic ape Linkin
hed the impudense to aboose our
martyred Saint, and his blood biled cz
he heered it. At this pint, the entire
assemblage profaticd. The letter uv
Rosecrans to tho Legislator Uv Ohio
wuz dooly read, and the andashus sen
timents thereiw contained wuz dooly
and emphatically damned. Ez the lik
ker circulated, we got more and more
enthoosiastic on this pint, and our
blood warmed and throbbed more
vilently through our veins ez we toast
ed Vallandygum and forever and ever
cursed the wretched hirelins who op
prest him, and through him, us.
Finally we heerd the rumblin uv
wheels over the hill and we knowd
that it wuz Squire Pettibone a com in
from the stashun with tho news nv the
Convenshun. He drove up and we
rushed out to greet him.
" Ror for who shol we 'rorfor?" ex
claimed Pepper.
" Ranney, uv course ! " shouted ono.
"For Vallandygum," sed another.
" For Carey ! sed another.
' My friends ! " shouted Pettibone,
"My friends 'ror for Rosecrans and
victory !" '
" Wat ? " rcmarkt a dozen uv us.
"Who?" remarkt the others.
"Hell !" remarkt tho balance.
" Yoor trifllin with us!" rcmarkt
Pepper.
" None uv yoor jokes," ojackilated
Bortle.
And tho astonisht Pettibone wuz in
danger uv bein roughly handled. But
he finallyconvinst them that Rosecrans
wuz reely and trooly the Dimocrntie
nominee, and that it wuz no joke wat
ever. I hed a great deel uv trooble with
'cm. They wuz bound not to touch
Rosecrans, and they swore they hed
bin betrayed and sold out. The plat
form, however. saved us. When I red it
to em and expliincd how cleerly it con
demned the war by refoosin to pay tho
indebtedness inkurred in prosokoolin
it, and how indignantly it spurned the
adiiiinistrashcu aud so on, thoy became
cool.
" Ef Rosecriins her reely come to
ua," I sed. "let us open our arms and
take him in." They rotired not ploas
ed but in sich a stuto that I hev no
doubt the heft uv em will vote, cz
voosual, an unscratched ticket. They
took down Mioklelan, why not Roso
crans ?
