The following touching littlo pocm appeared
some timo ago in the Metropolitan 'Record. It was
written on seeing a regiment of paroled Confeder?
ate prisoners pass along Broadway. Now York, en
route for Richmond:
Going Home.
No flaunting banners o'er them wave,
No arms flash back the sun's bright ray,
No shouting crowdssironnd ihcm throng,
No music cheers them on their way;
They're going home. By adverse fate
Compelled their trusty swords to sheath ;
True soldiers they, even tho' disarmed?
Heroes, tho' robbed &f victory's wreath.
Brave Southerners! with sorrowing hearts,
Wegaxe upon them through our tears, -
And sadly fee! how vain were nil
Their heroic deeds through weary years;
Yet 'mid their enemies they move
"With firm, bold step and dauntless mien; .
Oh, liberty, in every age,
Such have thy chosen companions been.
Going home! Alas, to them the words
Bring visions fraught with gloom and woe.
Since last they saw those cherished homes
The legions of the invading foe
Hath swept, like the simoon, along,
Spreading destruction far and wide.
"They found ? garden, but they left
A howling wilderness behind."
Ah! in those desolated homes
To which the "fate of war has como,"
Sad is the welcome?poor the feast?
That waits the soldier's coming home;
Yet loving ones will round him throng,
With smiles more tender, if less gay,
And joy will brighten pallid checks
At sight of the dear boys in gray.
Aye, give them welcome home, fair South,
For you they've made a deathless name ;
Bright through all after-time will glow
The glorious record of their fame.
They made a nation. What, though soon
Its radiant sun has seemed to set;
The past has shown what they can do,
. TheXutureholds bright promise yet.

A Gsm.?There is both truth and poetry in the
following beautiful "gem," which no heait can fail
to appreciate:
There's not a heath however rudo
But hath some little flower,
To brighten up its solitude,
And scent the evening hour.
There's not a heart however cast
By grief and sorrow down,
But hath some memory of tho past
To love and call its own.

The Philosophy of Smoking.?At the
Cooper Institute last evening, the Rev.
S. W. Baily delivered a facetious lecture
on the "Philosophy of Smoking," design?
ed to prove that tho practice was con?
ductive to the growth of democratic ideas
and family happiness. There was a good
attendance, and the lecturo was enter?
taining and well received. In the course
of tho interesting address it was remarked
that the advent of the use of tobacco gave
birth to democratic ideas, and that in
olden times tobaoco had been rcgard
/?d as a great gift of the great
though unknown spirit, and that in
later years we heard of smoking the pipe
of peace. The regard ontertaincd by the
Indians for tobacco was then dwelt upon,
and their customs was humorously re?
ferred to. The lecturer then called to
bis aid, in behalf of the uso of the favorite
weed, the great poets of by-gone times,
-'?-who, through their works, still live among
us. Tobacco was declarod as .divine
and rare; a sovereign remody to all de?
sirous of quietude and peacel The well
known ode, by Charles Lamb, to tobacco,
Was jthen quoted in behalf of tho almost
universal use of tobacco. Tobacco, said
tbo lecturer, is a powerful political ageut,
it is loyal to the State, and is destructive
of despotism; us well as protective of
Democratic freedom. The use of tobacco
?was then characterized as a choico bless?
ing, and ripened early youth into full
grown manhood. Its elating and aspiring
qualities were thon dilated upon. As a
perfect stimulant it was ahnost unequaled,
and it engendered a high tone in social
life. Tho learned lecturer then called to
his aid the poetical odes of Cowpcr and
others, on tobacco. Various illustrations
wore quoted, and tbo whole tenor of the
speakers ideas was in favor of the free
use of the fragrant weed.
The question as to how much the world
is indebted to smoking was referred to.
It begot real kindliness between tho va?
rious classes of society. It was a demo?
cratic level er, and was conductive of tho
utmost equality.
Mr. Baily thon concluded by a highly
' humorous sketch of the various uses to
which tobacco is applied, arguing in a fe:
Hcitous manner that the use of tobacco
was beneficial, and not, as supposed by
some'injurious. The lecturer brought his
address to a conclusion amid considerable
applause.?New York News.
Individual Responsibility.?The mo?
ment a man parts with moral indepen?
dence; the moment ho judges of duty
not from the inward voice, but from tho
interests and will of a party; the mo?
ment he commits himself to a leader or
a body, and winks at evil becauso divis?
ion "would hurt tho cause; the moment
he shakes of his particular responsibily,
because he is but one of a thousand or
million by whom tho evil is dono?that
moment he parts with his moral power.
He is shorn of the single-hearted faith in
the right and the true. He hopes from
man's pelfcy what uothing but loyalty to
God can accomplish. He substitutes
coarse weapons, forged by man's wisdom,
for celestial ipowcr.?Channtiuj.
The Confederate Soldiers
The Hon. iteiirj A. Wise recently de?
livered an address in the citv of Kich
mond-in behalf of the orphans of Confed?
erate soldiers, and from the extracts in
exchanges, there is indubitable proot that
he has not forgotten how* to talk. In dis
coursing of the bravery of Confederate
soldiei'S, Mr. Wise said.:
The noblest bands of men who ever
fought, or who ever fell in the annals of
war, whose glorious deeds history ever
took pen to record, were, I cxultingly
claim, the private soldiers in the ar?
mies of the great Confederate cause.?
Whether right or wrong in the cause
which they espoused, they were earnest
and honest patriots in their convictions,
who thought that they were right to de?
fend their own, their native land, its soil,
its altars and its honor. They felt that
they were no rebels and no traitors in
obeying their State sovereignties, and
they thought it was lawful to take up
arms under their mandates, authorized
expressly by the Federal Constitution to
repel invasion or to suppress insurrection,
when there was such '?imminent danger
as not to admit of delay."
The only reason for the delay which
could have been demanded of them was
to have appealed to the invaders them?
selves for defense against their own inva?
sion ; and whether there was imminent
danger or not, events have proved. They
havo been invaded until every blade of
grass had been trodden down, until every
sanctuary of temple, and fane, and altar
and home has been profaned. The most
of these men had no stately mansion for
their homes; no slaves to plough and
plant any broad fields of others; no
stocks or investments in interest-bearing
funds. They were poor, but proudly pa?
triotic and indomitably brave. Their
country was their onl}' heritage.
The mothers and wives and daughters
buckled on the belts and sent husbands
and brothers forth, and women toiled
for the bread and spun the raiment of
"little ones" of shanty homes in the coun?
try, or of shops in the towns, while their
champions of defence were in their coun
tr's camps or marches; or trenches, or
battles! They faithfully followed leaders
whom they knew and honored and trust?
ees JSor Cabiuets. nor Congress, nor
Commissiarat, nor Quartermaster's De?
partment, nor speculators, nor spies, nor
renegades, nor enemies' emissaries, nor
poverty, nor privations, nor heat, nor
cold, nor sufferings, nor toil, nor danger,
nor wounds, nor death could impair their
constancy. They fought with a devotion,
confidence and courage which was uncon?
querable save by starvation, blockade,
l overwhelming numbers, foreign dupes and
mercenaries, Yankeedoni, niggerdom and
! death !
Prodigies of valor, miracles of victo?
ries; undoubted ai-d undoubtingdevotion,
and endurance to the last,, entitled them
to honors of surrender, which gilded the
arms of their victors and extorted from
them cheers on the battlefield where at
last they yielded for peace ! Alas! how
manj- thousands had fallen before their
few surviving comrades laid down their
arms. Of these men of the ranks, their
beloved leader, General Ii. E; Lee, said to
mo during the last days on the lines: ''Sir,
the men of this war who will deserve the
most honor and gratitude are not the men
of rank, but the men of the ranks?the
privates."
After telling what he had seen them do
in battle, he added :
And I have seen them fire their last
vollics at Appomattox; and often in the
marches, on picket, in the trenches, in
camps and in charges, 1 have seen them
sad and almost sink, but I never saw
their tears until their beloved Coinman
der-in-Chief ordered them to surrender
their arms. Then they wept, and many
of them broke their trusty wcaj ons. The
blessed and ever glorious dead were not
there to surrender, and they arc not here
to defend their memories from the taint
of the reproach of rebellion and treason.
Alas ! I am alive and here, and am bound,
at every hazard, to dcclaro-lfeat those
men were no rebels and no traitors. Let
whoever will swear that they were rebels
and traitors, I will contradict the oath,
and appeal to God on the Holy oi Holies
as high as Heaven's throne, and swear
that they were pure patriots, loyal citi?
zens, well tried and true soldiers, brave,
honest, devoted men, who proved their
faith in their principles by the deaths
which canonized their immortal heroes
and martyrs!
Xo one shall inscribe the epitaph of re?
bellion and treason upon the tombs of
their dead, without my burning protest
being uttered against the foul and false
profanation: And if any wounds of the
living are labelled with rebellion and trea?
son, I would tear away the infamy, though
the wounds should bleed unto death. If
I suffer their names to be dishonored
and their glory to be tarnished, and don't
gainsay the reproach, may my tongue
cleave to the roof of my mouth; and if
I suffer their orphans to be outcasts for
the want of sympathy, warmly outspoken
and more warmly, felt, may my right
hand forget its cunning.

From the Chattanooga Gazette.
An Experience in Hanging.
"Wait till yon hear it. Ten years ago
I was elected sheriff of* this county.
This was my first cloction, and I have
been returned regularly ever since. My
first attempt to open court was made du?
ring an important trial. The criminal
was a depraved, desperate wretch, who
had been indicted for an atrocious and
brutal murder. The fellow was greatly
hardened and seemed to care but little
how the trial went?the ovidenco was
strong and against him, and when the
case was submitted to the jury, they re?
turned a verdict of guilty without leav?
ing their seats.
The execution was fixed for a day, two
weeks after tho trial. Of course it was
my duty to put the rope around his neck
and launch him into eternity. It was a
distasteful duty, I assurtl^W; for, though
I knew full well the man deserved his
death, I did not relish the idea of hanging
him. I got through with it, however,
and set him to dancing in tho air. He
did not struggle much, and I thought had
an easy death. After hanging tho usual
lime ho was cut down and his body given
to his friends for interment. I thought I
had seen the last of the man, as the wag?
on containing the body drove out of the
jail yard, but I was mistaken.
About four months after the execution,
I happened to bo passing my barn, when
I saw a man sitting in the doorway, with
his head resting on his hands. I did not
like his looks, so I approached him, and
asked him what he wanted there. He
raised his head, and looked at me in si?
lence. 1 am not given to superstition,
and I don't think I'm very timid, but I
felt my blood grow icy cold as I recogni?
zed the man betoro mo the person whose
execution I had conducted. His face
showed no traces of his violent end; and
the only indication of it, now visible, was
a slight disfigurement of tho neck. I
scarcely knew what to say or think, for
I had scon him hung, and heard him pro?
nounced dead, and had deiiversd his body
to his friends for burial, and yet, after a
la]")se of four months, there he sat, look?
ing at me with a face as white as a sheet.
The terror that was exhibited in his coun?
tenance convinced mo that he was no
ghost, so I asked him with as much cool?
ness as I could command :
"Jack Larkins, do you know me ?"
"You're tho man that hung me," he
replied, doggedly, at the samo time mov?
ing away.
"Before you go, Larkins," said I, "I
would like to know how you cheated the
gallows."
"You won't peach on any of them folks
as helped me, will you ?" ho inquired.
"Xo," I leplied, "I will not get them
into any trouble. I simply wish to know
how you felt Avhile you were hanging,
and how you were resuscitated."
lie hesitated for somo timo, but upon
a renewal of my assurance that none of
his friends should be molested, ho told me
the following story:
When 1 put tho rope around his neck,
and left him on the gallows, he felt a faint
ness about the heart, caused by his reali?
zing his fearful situation for the first
time; but before he had time to think,
the trap was sprung, and he fell through
the opening. The shock of the fall was
rather more startling than painful, and did
not produce either insensibility or confu?
sion. His thoughts were remarkably
clear, and he seemed to have the power
of seeing far above, below and all around
him. Everything assumed a bright ver
million hue, and a soft, dreamy languor
gradually stole over him, until ho became
insensible. There was nothing painful
or unpleasant in anything he had under?
gone. He seemed to bo sinking gently
into a delicious sleep, and all his thoughts
were pleasant.
The next ho remembered was being
wrung by tho most agonizing torture.
The pains were not confined to any par?
ticular place, but extended through the
whole body. His first thought was that
he was in perdition, and was suffering the
penalty of his crimes. The pains increas
cd^ich moment, and at last becamo so
intense that he started to his feet with a
scream of anguish, at the same time open?
ing his eyes. Great was his surprise to
find himself in his lather's house, in the
midst of his frionds and relatives. He
fainted at once, and when he recovered
found himself in bis own bed. As soon
as it was thought safe to do so, his friends
informed him that upon bringing his
body home, they had determined to try
to resuscitate it, although they feared it
would be useless. They worked faithful?
ly, and at last- succeeded.
"But, sir," said the man in conclusion,
"coming to life again was much worse
than dying."
The man promised to leavo the State
and try to do better. I had but little
confidence in him, yet I let him go. Ho
kept his word, however, and a short time
ago I heard he was a well-to-do farmer in
one of the Territories.
This, gentlemen, is the manner in which
I got my ideas about hanging, andl.tbink
! you will admit their force.
"So you are going'.fb teach a school,"
said a young lady to her old maiden aunt.
"Well, for my part, sooner than do that,
I would marry a widower-with nine chil
i dren."
"1 should prefer that life myself," was
j tho quiet reply; but where is the widow
!cr?"
Didn't that Man Suffer.
The Knoxvillo correspondent of the
Nashville Banner gets off the following
good thing on Brownlow :
Knoxville, Jan. 9,'1S66.?There are
few East Tennessceans who do not know
John Fleming, ot this count}', a lawyer
of much sharpness, with a good practice,
and, as far as I can learn, of undoubted
loyalty. Well, John tells a most amusing
anecdote of our Reverend Governor,
which is too good to be lost, and, what is
more to the point, he gives it as coming
from Andy Knott, who is also a well
known citizen, and one who bears a good
record for consistent loyalty. The pith
of the matter is contained in a descrip?
tion of Brownlow's terrible sufferings and
martyrdom, of which the world has heard
so much for the past two years.
A few months ago Brownlow, sued
Sneed, Crozicr and Reynolds for dama?
ges, and recovered S25,000, in the Circuit
Court at Knoxville, causing the property
of those gentlemen to be sold out, and
buying it in at his own price; propcrty
that would, in all probability, in peacca
hle times, have brought twice the amount
of the judgment. After all this had oc?
curred, Squire Knott meets Fleming, who
was one of ti e Governor's lawyers (by
the way they arc all Colonel- Hciskill's
constituents,) on Gay street, and accosts
him thus :
"Well, Fleming, I suppose you succeed?
ed in recovering 825,000 damages for Gov.
Brownlow, for and on account of his suf?
ferings as a Union man ?"
Fleming?"Yes. Andy, we had no trou?
ble' and could have recovered S50.000just
as easy, if we had laid it."
Knott?"Well, John, there's no telling
how much that man has suffered. When
bo was put in jail at Knoxville, I was in
there for my Unionism also, witli about
one hundred others. We ate bull beef
and sour bread, and slept on the muddy
floor without cover, whilst Brownlow had
a feather bed to sleep on, and had chick?
en, coffee, warm buscuit, and anything
his family and friends desired to send
him. Great God, Fleming, didn't he suf?
fer! Directly wc were all sent to Mobile
and Tuscaloosa, and treated worse than
damaged dogs, while Brownlow was fur?
nished with a guard to protect him from
rebels, and sent safely through the lines j
to Abraham's bosom. Great God ! Flem?
ing, didn't that man suffer !
Well, we hvy in prison and came darn?
ed nigh starving and being cat rip with
vermin, itch, etc., while Brownlow collec?
ted half a dozen East Tenncsecans in
Yankee land, organized a travelling me?
nagerie and showed at 50 cents a night,
children and niggers half price, and made
lots of money and kept it all himself, and
never fed'his animals at all. Fleming,
Great God ! did 3-011 ever hear of such
suffering? Then he wrote a book?an
Abolition book?and sold an interest in
the copyright tor 810.000 in cash, and the
damned rebels then sent his family
through tho linos to him, where they
were all feted, toasted and lionized.
Fleming, how could mortal man endure
such suffering? No sooner had old Burn
side taken East Tennessee than he and
his family were sent back home, the Uni?
ted States government furnishing ambu?
lances, teams, and guards for them. "When
Brownlow reached Knoxville, ho took
possession of the custom house, as special
Treasury agent, at a salary, and appoint?
ed a set of "revenue aids," and he soon
collected about SS0,000 worth of aban
donencd rebel property, which has never
been accounted for to this day! Great
God! Fleming, didn't that man suffer!"

Gen. Butler Compelled to Disgorge
the Fifty Thousand Dollars in Gold.
It will be remembered by our readers that
among the many high handed acts of
speculation and confiscation which Gen.
Butler was guilty of in his reign at New
Orleans in 1862 and 186.1, was his break?
ing open a bank vault in that city and
taking from it fifty thousand dollars in
gold, belonging, we believe, to the firm of
Smith & Brother?a sum which never
found its way, as it was alledgcd, into
the Treasury Department, but remained
in the capacious pockets of the General.
Time passed on, and it so happened the
returned merchant caught the General in
New York two years afterwards and in?
stituted legal proceedings to recover his
treasure. After a severe litigation, in
which Butler did his best to hold on to
the coveted spoil, he was compelled to
disgorge, and pay over to Smith & Broth?
er their money. If all his victims in
New Orleans and Virginia could be equal?
ly successful, Gen. Butler would not now
be in a condition to purchase mill-sites
and go into the cotton manufactoring
business, which he is now doing in Rich?
mond, according to report.? Cincinnati

Hoo Cholera.?The Petersburg Intel?

lied upon as a specific for hog cholera. It
has been fully tested and tried, in tho
hogs of a gentleman of Amhcrst, Ya.?
The remedy was given in all the stages
of^he disease:
"Beat up an ounce of assafoetida and
add about one once of whiskey or other
kind of spirits, and give to the hog two
table-spoonfuls. It produces an immedi?
ate relief, and speedy and permanent
cure. The effect which the drench had
on the hogs spoken of, was to cause them
to vomit the most disgusting and loath?
some mass of matter conceivable from
the stomach, whjm a moderate reaction
took place, and tho hogs were fully cured."
