Notice to Correspondents.
All communications addressed to this
Office moat be plainly written on one aide
of the paper, and the authors nan\e must
in variably accompany each article. We
will accept or reject ail manuccrip* as our
judgment dictates.
19* Our daties tinder existing circum
stances rear themselves to mountain heights.
In days of prosperity our duties were grave
and important, and required all our time
and abilities to meet them and live and act
up to them, but now we look back to those
good old halcyon days as a traveller npon
the arid plains tarns and fixes bis longing
' gaze upon the green and refreshing oasis
that he hae just past. In onr feelings we
are reminded of the children of Israel on
a certain occasion, repining for the flesh
pots of the Egyptians. Our thoughts and
feelings are too much inclined to dwell
upon and brood over the days that pre
ceded the unfortunate civil war from which
we have just emerged. But those days
like these, brought with them stem reali
ties, and then, as now. all our faculties,
mental and physical, were to be actively,
energetically employed, in order to suc
cessfully encounter the duties and obliga
tions enjoined upon us as men and citizens.
Wo are too prone to forget that the great
secret in human happiness is contentment,
with our lot, coupled with a determination
to act well our part in whatever sphere of
life we may chance to be placed. Onr
great pioneer ancestors in the early settle
ment of the colonies of this then wilder
ness land, experienced what sore trials and
hardships and poverty are. The ordeal
through which they passed, was the great
nursery or school that has given to the
world some of the noblest specimens of our
race; trained and developed in the school
of hardships and adversities, they came
forth like Pallas from the brain of Jupi
ter, full armed and equiped for the great
conflict of life. The history of every peo
ple abundantly show that adversity is the
mother of genius and true greatness-—
u calm seas never make skillful pilots”—
dig deep if you would gather pure trea
sure. We have all felt the pressure of the
heavy hand of misfortune, and have drunk
to the very dregs the bitter contents of the
full cup of woe, but our past career as a
people, was doubtless, stfch as to merit the
severe chastisement that has been visited
upon us, and as a wise people we should
profit by the lesson taught as, and thus we
may realize the blessing in disguise. Al
ready do we see unmistakable signs and
evidences of good resulting from the fiery
ordeal through which we were called to
pass. Energy and industry have gone
abroad, and the varied departments of bus
iness and manly enterprise every where
exhibit the moat cheering and satisfactory j
evidences of a will and determination on
the part of the people to reinstate and
build themselves up again upon a deeper,
broader and surer foundation than they
have heretofore enjoyed. The farmers,
the true sovereigns, the legitimate nobility
of every free government, have gone to
work in good carnett, and behold what is
being accomplished—crops of cotton, corn
and every variety of vegetables meet your
eye in every direction. The same may be
said of the mechanic and artist; the mer

earnestness in his walk, his very face; j
every thing indicates an interest and ear
nestness on the part of the people that
argues well for a great a glorious future,
ap to which industry and patience will
sorely bring us. We sometime hear our
business man complaining tuat times are
very dull, money very scarce, and nothing
doing. But what of this! Those who
hutld up a country and raise the flood
gates of trade and commerce, are now
rjRietly and noiselessly preparing for a
great harvest and gathering of cereals,
cotton, &e.; true some of them may be
sowing in sweat and tears, but the promise
is unto them, and in due time they will
come rejoicing in plenty . Let us then
bide our time, fill up the measure of our
■duty in whatever we may be engaged, con
tribute our inite *a furtherance of the great
end and aim of our earthly destiny, and in
bring for ourselves, let us live for our coun
try and fellow beings. Whatever of tal
ents or influence we may be possessed of.
*et us strive to exert and employ them in
developing the resources of our common
heritage; let this be our highest ambition;
yea, eur qua non’ in the great con
flict that opens out before us. and then the
w .rld will have been the better, and not
the worse for our having lived in it: Our
mountain will become as mole bills, and
our rough places make smooth. * Perta

Tu conformity to a custom—origi

( ’
bus, Georgia—the noble women of Mem
phis gathered themselves together on ;.h«
26th of April to pay “affections tribute”
to their sleeping dead. This custom is.
that on the Aniversary of the surrender ol
the Confederate armies the 26tb of April
of each year, the women of the South as
semble themselves to scatter flowers ovei
the graves of the loved and noble sons ol
**8 South whose lives went out iu defence
j of home, honor and country. From the
account we have, the ceremony must have
been impressive and touching. We give
the following extract from an address de
livered by Rev. Mr. Ford:
“A year has passed since the curtain fell
on the dread drama in whose early scenes
these dead were actors. Let us pause a
moment, and recur to the opening of that
drama. How fresh are its incidents. A
word reproduce* them in all their living,
stirring reality. The country ezzeitad I—

embrace; the lather's tearful “God bless
you.’’ The word to advance is given, and
they are gone; gone to the Lout; gone to
the trenches; to the cold and weary watch;
to exposure and disease; gone to mingle in
the bloody fray, as fearless, as brave, as
buoyant hearts as ever bounded forth at
duty's call. Shall they return, and how?
Let the scenes of the last four years an
swer I
“The air is full of farewells to the dying,
And wailings for the dead:
The heart of Rachel for her children sighing
Will not be comforted,,r
Ah! many of them sleep on Belmont’s
bloody field; around Coin mhos and Bowl
ing Green, and Chickamaaga, and Frank
lin; as noble, glorioas dead as ever died.
And some of them sleep here.
“Hail! ail hail! the patriot’s grave—
Valor venerable bed:
Hail the memory ot’ the brave;
Hail! the spirits of the dead."
‘‘Time their triumphs shall proclaim,
And their rich reward be this;
Immortality of fame—
Immortality of bliss."
But while we dwell with tender interest
on the memory of our own loved dead who
rest here, or la their unknown graves at
Shiloh or Chiekamanga, we will not forget
those who lie here with us in our “silent
city, far from the home of their childhood.
They came from Texas, from Louisiana,
from Arkansas, from Mississippi and Mis
souri—went forth as ours did, from the
towns and cities of their native States,
followed by the prayers and blessings of
yearning hearts. They were brought back
to our city from Belmont and Shiloh, and
died ia our midst; in the Overton and the
frving Hospitals, and many in your own
house-holds, they were watched and tend
ed by the women of Memphis. Their last
farewell whispers were caught by you and
transmitted to anxious friends and distant
home3. V/e closed their -ayes in death and
followed them to this sad spot. Away from
friends, they were not friendless. Weep
ing parents, whose soldier boy3 sleep here
in graves untended by your care, your sons
were watched when wounded and dying—
are remembered though dead, and on their
mounds we place the votive offering of
Spring's floral tribute. Nor will we be
censured even by those who opposed us in
the conflict, for this token of resard for
the fallen. There men went forth at the
jail of their States. They were prompted
by a lofty sense of duty. Their courage
and endurances were made glorious by
principle.
Mr. Ford was followed by Rev. Mr.
Rogers, who paid an eloquent tribute to
the memory of Gea. Prestox Smith,
and the Confederate dead, who sleep in
Elmwood; after which a collection was ta
ken by the ladies for the purpose of erect
ing a suitable monument upon which the
names of all their hurried might be in
scribed. All then adjourned to their homes
satisfied that they had done a noble duty
THIS FAR, ANb NO FARTHER CAN
WE GO.
It is hardly to be believed that a single
one of the Southern States will accept the
degrading conditions upon which the dom
inant faction in Congress mockingly pro
poses “to admit them all to their rights
and franchise within the Union/' With
one accord, the Southern press and people
say, “there" should be no farther yielding
on the part of our deeply injured and op
pressed people, to the demands of the
mad fanatics who now run riot at Wash
ington If the people of the North choose
to sustain these tyrants in their oppressive
and degrading measures, all that we can
do is to fold our arms and in silence suffer
events to take their coarse till that day of
deliverance comes which God will surely
send! Bat we believe that the honest,
Conservative peeple of the North are sat
isfied with the evidences we have already
furnished of our good faith in all that we
have done. They are also content with
teres which have already been imposed
upon and which have been so exactly
complied with on the part of every South
ern State. Tng great Northern heart has
not. iu our opinion, demanded of Congress
the imposition of the disgraceful terms
which the Reconstruction Committee have
recommended. The people ot the South
would do well to nerve themselvt? for a
still severer test of their patience and for
bearance than they have yet encountered.

Tubular Boilers.—The last number
! of the Scientific American contains the
following remarks on tubular boi’-ers :
It is not the point of wisdom to de
nounce tubular boilers because some pas
sengers leave the boats fitted with them.
As well might every one stop traveling on
railroads, for all locomotives are tubular
boilers of a much more “dangerous" type
than those which have exploded Tubu
lar boilers make steam so much cheaper
i and more rapidly than common return-flue.
! or cylinder boilers, that they should be
; used everywhere when they can be. In
j all places where fuel is scarce we find them ;
I in all cities, in railways, in steamers, steam
1 fire engines and in factories—wherever,
in short, steam is used as a motive power.
It is too late in the day to decry them,
and they will eventually find their way into j
general use on the Mississippi river, as i
they have in all other countries. In the j
steam fire engines are tabular hoileriwwhere j
the tubes are only three-fourths of an inch
in diameter, and the spaee between one
fourth of au inch, and the tire is so forced
by the draft and exhausted that the blaze
comes out at the top. One hundred and
eighty, two hundred and much higher
working pressure are carried, and they are
in use all over the country every day for
hours at a time. Thev don’t exrdode un

First Daily Paper.—It seems scarcely
creditable in these days that it is only one
hundred and sixty-tour years ago as this is
writen to day, since the first daily paper
was published in English. Yet so it is.
according to the best late authorities. An
drews' History of British Journalism is
quoted in the Book of Days as stating that
the journal entitled to this distinction was
the Daily Courant, commenced on the 11th
of March, 1702, by “E. Mallet against the
Ditch at Fleet Bridge," a site persumed
to be near that of the present office of the
Times. It was asingle page of two columns,
and professed solely to give foreign news,
the editor or publisher further assuring
his readers that he would not take upon
himself to give any comments of his own,
“supposing other people to have sense
enough to make reflections for themselves.’'
How different this from the London Times,
whieh requires at least half a million of
dollars a year to cary it on, and reflections
for the world ! The Courant very soon
passed into the hands of Samuel Buckley,
j “at the sign of the Dolphin in Little
Britain," a publisher of some literary attain
ments, who afterwards became the printer
I of the spectator, and pursued on the whole
: a respectable and useful career. As a curious
traitor the practice of the government of
George l.,itmay be mentioned that Luck

before a Secretary of State of (1724N as.

WASHi.Nii-rox, April 30—Senate.—Mr. Fes
senden, from the Reconstruction Committee,

the laws.
Sec. 2. Representatives shall be appor
tioned among the several States which may be

respective members; counting the whole
number of persons in each State, excluding
Indians, not taxed. But whenever in any
State the elective franchise shall be denied to
any portion of its male citizens not less than
twenty-one years of age, or in any way
abridged, except for participation in rebellion

United States.
Sec. 4. That the United States nor any of
the States shall assume or pay any debts or

by war, against the United States, or any
claims for compensation for loss of involunta
ry service or labor.
Sec. 5. That Congress shall have power to
enforce, by appropriate legislation, the pro

A bill to provide for restoration of the States
lately in rebellion to their full political rights
by the admission of their delegates to Con

rebels from holding office is also reported, in
cluding the following classes ;
First—The President and Vice-President of
the so-called Confederate States and heads of
Departments thereof.
Second—Those who acted in other countries
as Confederate agents.
Third—Heads of Departments of the United

otherwise than lawfully as prisoners of war.
It is understood that the vote upon them ;
was 12 against 3. As it is known that Sena
tor Johnson and Representatives Goodyear
and Rogers only hold in the negative, the af- ■
firmative must be Senators Fessenden, Grimes, j
Harris, Howard, Williams, and Representa
tives Stevens, Washburn, of Illinois, Morrill, i
Bingham, Conkling. Boutwell and Blow.
The House hill authorizing the construction
of a brMge across the Mississippi river at
Quincy, Illinois. wa3 taken up and an amend- 1
ment offered to have a bridge at Hannibal, Mo.,
and another for a bridge at Burlington,
Iowa.
The Julian resolution, offered last January,
for the speedy trial of Mr. Davis, and his
prompt execution, if found guilty, was taken
up. Mr. Julian addressed the House in sup
port of the resolution, when it was referred to
the Judiciary Committee.
Several bills and resolutions were offered
and appropriately referred.
New Foas, April 30.—The Tribune's Wash

cided to-day to report against the creation of
any more National Banks.
The Commercial's Washington special says
the Austrian Minister advertised Ills furni

Senator Fessenden having withdrawn his
amendment, the amendment of Senator Trum
bull was then freely discussed by both sides,
but the Senate adjourned at 5 v. m., without
coming to a vote on it.
The main feature presented was the report 1
of the Reconstruction Committee. The amend- j
ment to the Constitution which it proposes
will be acted upon next Tuesday, and the two
bills introduced therewith are made the spe- '

i known as the biographer of Bishop Capers.—
i He is a man of extensive and profound learn
ing, and is now President of the University of

Rev. D. S. Deggett. D. D., was editor for
many years of the Methodist Quarterly Review,
and now presides over the Episcopal Mrthodisl,
at Richmond, Ya., of which State he is a son,
and is highly esteemed for his scholarship and
ability as a writer and pulpit orator.
Rer. H. N. McTviere, D. D., is well known
here, when as editor of the Christian Advocate,
and as the floquent occupant of several of our
pulpits, he so long attracted crowded audiences
to the sanctury.
Rev. E. M. Marvin is less known among us.
He comes from Missouri, from which State he
went with Gen. Price as his chaplain into the
army, and served on that peaceful and heav.
. enly duty throughout the late unhappy con
flict. The fact that, his ministerial brethren
chose him bishop on the first ballot, show their
high estimate of his character and abilities.
More Humbug.—The following, says the
Indianapolis Herald, is the testimony said to
implicate Jeff. Davis in the assassination of
Lincotn. Now. we inquire, who is Dr. Mer
edith, of Indianapolis? did any one ever here of
such an existence ? go far as we know, he is a
myth:
The House judiciary committee, having the
investigation of the evidence relating to Jeff.
Bnvis'alleged complicity in the assassinination
of President Lincoln under consideration to
day, examined Dr. .Tas. Meredith, of Indianapo
lis. who testified that he was in Montreal in
Feburary, 1865, at a meeting of prominent
Sotherners, among whom were ganders,
Thompson, Tucker, and a number of other
equally well known rebels, and that the question
of assassinatig Lincoln, Stanton and grant
was diseased ; that it was declared it was going
to take place at an early day ; ami that Booth
was to perform the act. He testified that ac

read on the same subject, and that he (the
witness) was afterward told by Clement C. Clay
that he (Clay; knew all about it. lu reply to

DIED
On the 25th of April, of consumption, at the
resilience of Capt. Weatherly, near Helena,
Ark., Mr. Samuel A. Pharr, aged 29 years.
Thus has been ealled away to God and eter
nity another of natures noblemen. He was a
good citizen, a loving husband, an affection
ate father—an honest man. Many who called
him friend on earth, now mourn his loss. He
has gone to that ‘-unknown country from
whose bourne no traveler returneth," and we
shad no more see him here. He has bidden
farewell to earth and its sorrows—has thrown
off mortality and put on immortality. To those
left behind—his wife and child—there is this
consolation, “whom the Lord loveth he ehas
teneth,” and If for a time his chastisement,
seem grievous, 3oon we shad know that they
are for our good. We may be seperated here,
but with God, in our “Fathers house,” there
is no separation, no sorrow. “ For the Lamb
whieh is in the midst of the throne shall feed
them and shall lead them unto living fountains
of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes.
