'Tis sweet, in the green spring.
To gaze upon tlie wakening fields around ;
Birds in the thicket sing,
Winds whisper, waters prattle froiu tho ground;
A thousand odors rise,
Breathed up from blossoms of a thousand dyes.
Shadowy, and close, nnd cool,
The pine and poplar keep their quiet nook;
For ever fresh and full,
Shines, at their feet, tho thirst-inviting brook;
And the soil liorhage seems
Spread for a place of banquets and of dreams.
Thou who alone art fair,
And whom alone I love, art far away;
Unless thy smile be there.
It makes mo sad to see the earth so gay ;
I care not if tho train
Of leaveB, and flowers, and zephyrs, go again.
Confederate Military Chieftains.
A Northern Estimate of their Genius—»
Tribute to the Abilities of Dam's, Lee,
Stuart and Jackson, from the l'cn oj
a United States Officer.
From a long review of the late war, pub
lished in the Now York Citizen, a Republican
Journal, edited by Colonel Halpino. better
known as private Miles O’Reilly, late of the
United States army, we extract the following
estimate of Southern Chieftains :
DAVIS.
Lot those loyal gentlethcn, disciples of Mr.
Abbott, who worship tho character of Bona
parte, make some consistent homage to (lie
brilliant directory of Jefferson Davis. Both
wore men of destiny, and tho personnel of
tho survivor is by far the nobler. Of the
fallen angels, whose dark plumage swept from
our Senate Halls, he made tho most courtly
adieu. Of all the traitors he was the most
entirely in earnest. Of all' decision, his was
the sagost, the promptest and tho most en
during. He only of the conspirator felt that
his quarrel with the Union was irreconcilable,
and has nover yet advised submission. His
captivity has been belittled by none of Bona
v>n»OA,n .iii1 AnRi!r - - lUin.l. ere*" nnd
wasted, liis dominions are narrowed to the
casemate, while the Republic bo would over
throw reaches to the silent, oceans.
LKIi.
In Robert Lee tho same austere Providence,
to purify our Republicanism, shattered our
faith in traditional respectability. Tho heir
of Washington went with the rest of the new
chivalry, and with ten times the talent of the
great Fabius, crushed the armies of our lesser
respectabilities, till he met in Grant a man
without a pedigree. Ho was tho equal of
Wellington in maneuvering great bodies of
troops upon small interior lines. The Duke
at Waterloo fought liis whole army upon a
mile and a quarter arc; but Lee at Cold
•» Harbor, for five days presented a solid liue ot
battle wherever we sought to find him, till his
whole force seemed maneuvered by the wink
of his eye, and every salient that we touched
was a corps. While the fortifications of Rich
mond stand, his name shall evoke admiration.
The art ot war is unacquainted witli any de
fense so admirable. Splendid as were the
triumphs of his engineering, tho victories of
his infantry were his best movements. But
over the glory of his talent fell a shadow as
eternal as his memory—the frown of a re so
lute Democracy, whose sacrifice was longer
than his art.
STUART.
I stood in tho cemetery of Hollywood, at
the gvavo of Stuart—a space without a shaft.
He revolutionized the cavalry tactics of our
time, and was in dash and dissoluteness the
Prince Rupert of the West. Forrest and
Stoneman, Morgan and Grierson, Moshy and
Kilpatrick were the imitators. lie inaugu
rated tho grand raid which taught Sheridan
the nothingness of distance, and emboldened
Sherman to tear the continent like a pocket
tnan
The fervid imagination of the Southern
' people, demonstrated in feats of romance,
like Stuart’s, made them, during the war, the
great suggestive captains. They built the
first iron-clad, made the first great rides, and
under Stonewall Jackson executed the earliest
of the great infantry inarches. But the
colder adaptability of the North developed
every hint from the South into a perfect sys
tem. The experiment of the Memrnac has
grown to the Dictator, the Dunderburg and
Ironsides. The engineering assiduity of
Beauregard, imitated by the North, has
marked the camps of our armies, as if the
protecting mountains had followed our col
umns* But it may bo doubted that any divis
ion commander has yet arisen to rival the
splendid infantry genius of Jackson.
JACKSON.
As Lee was master of maneuver, Jackson
was the great captain of aggressive warfare.
He combined the cunning and the boldness of
Napoleon. To cover his great movement by
the flank, in lSt>2, he did not hesitate to fight
Pope's whole army with a division, and the
celerity of his march up the Shenandoah, to
appeal1 again ou the field of Bull Ilun, was
only equallod by the energy of his attack.
He moved infantry with the speed of lior-e,
and having burled three great commanders
back from the Old Dominion, died before the
lustre of its arms had diminished in that flush
of victory whon rebellion had assumed, indeed,
the proportions of a nation. He was the most
republican of rebels, sie.n and simple ns any
Roundhead, aud this is why we hold his
memory greener than that of his companions
whose defection to the Union was augmented
by their treason to popular institutions.
There were other personages identified with
this grand historical defence, but those are the
great statues—Davis, Lee, Jackson, Stuart,
Beauregard.
-We converse with those wt love through
flowers, with those we worship through the
stars.
A SHORT SERMON.
Jiv Till; OLD MIR HEEN.
“Tlicre’s nine men a standin' at the dore,
and they all sed they’d tnke shuger in ther’n.”
Sich, friends and breethring, was tho talk,
in a worldly cense, wonst kommnn in this our

they stood at the dorc on a hold win tors morn

and five Lutharians, and the tothev on was a
publikin. And they all with one vois sed they
wouldn't dirty tlioir feet in a dram-shop, but if
the publikin would go in and git tlie drinks
they would pay for ’em. And they all kryd
out and every man sed, “I’ll take mine with
shugar—for it wont feel good to drink tlie
stuff without sweetnin." So the publikin he
marched iri, and the bar keeper sed, “What
want yc?” and lie answered and sed, “A

And strato” says he, “for it aint no use wastin
shugar to circumsalivate akofoads. But
(here’s nine more ft standin at the dore, and
they all sod they'd fake shugar in ther’n.”
Friends* and breethring, it aint only the

of all sorts of human wickidnis in like man

Thar’s the likker uv self-luv that, sum drinks

-----— —
itfal. Gen, Jsimes1 F. Fagan of Arkansas.
This distinguished and gallant son of our
sister State of Arkansas, and than whom no
man did his whole duty with more credit to
himself and justico to the cause he espoused,
is the subject of a most beautiful and deserved
tribute in the scathing reply of Colonel J. F,
Belton, of the late G. S. A., to .the official
report of Lieutenant General Grant. Colonel
Belton says:
Among those as implicated as exhibiting
bad faith is, doubtless, major General Fagan,
upon whom the command of the department
devolved when Lieut. General Buckner left
Shreveport for Baton Rouge. Never before
was an officer placed in more trying circum
stances. Without money, and without re
sources other than his own sterling qualities,
this proud soldier found himself charged with
the care of public stores, yet intact, with the
uiaintainauce of order among the troops still
remaining at iheir posts, and lastly, but more
difficult than all, w ith the subsistence of those
troops. This, indeed, was a very serious
question, upon which all was dependent. The
principal depot at Jefferson had shared the
fate of the others.
■» # .i..i.ii_i_ At..:.. l j l ...
was no public transportation for their remov
al. Those only who were with and in the con
fidence ot General Fagan can appreciate the
difficulties which surrounded him at this time.
Almost any other man would have been over
whelmed ; but the hero of Mark’s Mill rose
superior to them all. With indomitable ener
gy he made available every possible means of
procuring subsistence. Wherever u bale of
cotton which belonged to or had been taken
from the Confederate Government eould be
found, it was used for the purpose os rations,
and when this soureo failed, Goucrnl Fagan
pledged his own private means for payment.
This was the bad faith exhibited by the last
Confederate commander at Shreveport; hut
thus was starvation warded off, and a train of
consequent evils prevented. There is no his
torian to record the events of those days.
There is no superior officer to compliment in
his reports those who deserved it. But bril
liant as have been the achievements of James
F, Fagan on the field, there was no time in
which 'hat galb'.iit young officer more com
pletely proved hie fitness for command, more
gloriously illustrated the nobility of a true
chivalrous soldier and the generous qualities
of the high-toned and courteous gentleman,
than when ho stood—as it were like the last
pall bearer—at the grave of the infant Con
federacy, where with the hopes of a people
were buried, all that remained of civil and
religious liberty in a republic which grand
sires had established and father and sons
fought fri itlcssly.to perpetuate.
--
-A gentleman, passing through ene of
our public offices was affronted by someclerks,
and was advised to complain to the principal,
which he did thus; “I have been abused here
by some of the rascals of this place, and I
came to acquaint you of if, as I understand
you are the principal,”
Things which all Fathers and Mothers
Ought to Know.
This should be cut, out and preserved:
1. If a man faints, place him flat on his
back, and let him alono.
2. If any poison is swallowed, drink in
stantly half a glass of cool water, with a heap
ing teaspoonful each of common salt and
ground mustard stirred into it; this vomits as
soon as it reaches the stomach; but for fear
some of tho poison may remain, swallow the
white of one or two raw eggs,'or a cup of
strong coffee. These two are antidotes for a
greater number of poisons than any dozen
other articles known, ^ith the advantage of
their being always on band. If they cannot
be liad, a pint of sweet oil, lamp oil, ‘‘drip
pings," melted butter, or lard, are good sub
stitutes, especially if they vomit quickly.
3. The best thing to stop the bleeding of a
moderate cut instantly, is to cover it profuse
ly with cob-web, or flour and salt, half and
half.
4. If tho blood comes from a wound by
'jets or spirts, be spry, or the man will die in
a few minutes, because an artery is severed ;
tie a handkerchief loosely around near tho
part between the wound and tho heart; put a
stick between the handkerchief and the skin
and twist it around until the blood ceases to
flow ; keep it there until the doctor comes ; if
in a position where tho handkerchief cannot
be used, press the thumb on the spot near the
wound, between the wound and the heart; in
crease the pressure until the bleeding ceases,
but do not lessen the pressure for an instant,
until tho physician arrives, so as to glue up
tho wound by the coagulation or cooling of
tho hardening blood.
5. If your clothing takes fire, slide the
hands down the dross, keeping them as close
to tho body as possible, at the same time
sinking to the floor by bending the knees ;
this has a smothering effect upon the flames;
if not extinguished, or a great headway is got
ten, lie down on the floor ami roll over and
over; or, better, envelope yourself in a carpet
rug, bedelotli, or any garment you can get
hold of, always profering woolen.
6. If the body is tired, rest: if the brain is
tired sleep.
7. If the bowels are loo3e, lie down in a
warm bed, remain there, and eat. nothing un
til you are well. Drink a small dose of black
berry wine or brandy three times a day.
8. If an action of the bowels does not occur
at. the usual hour, eat not an atom until they
do act. at least for thirty-six hours; mean
while, drink largely of cold water, and take a
dose of lied Jacket. Bitters three times a day,
exercising in the open air to the extent of a
gentle perspiration, and keep this up until
things are righted, This suggestion, if prac
tised, would save thousands of lives every
year both in city and couuu-y.

A Young Lady Runs Away with Another
Fellow on Her Wedding Day.—The Louis
ville Democrat of the 21st, relates the follow
ing decidedly romantic incident:
A young man came from the Sucker State
ten days ago, to marry a young lady of this
city. They were engaged. Yesterday morn
ing at 9 o’clock they were to have been joined.
Night before last a well-known steamboat
clerk, who loved her, and was loved, eloped
with tho object of the Sucker State gentle
man's affections. He wont to the residence
of the Would-be bride yesterday morning, but
only went to be disappointed, for tire bii d had
pepn let out. of the cage by a former suitor,
and left bim looking with tearful eyes into the
still onen uooi*. Alt! love . love

Rebel Ingenuity at Johnson's Island.—
When tho rebel prisoners, all officers and
many of them high in rank, were confined on
Johnson’s Island, opposite this city, they ex
hibited a far greater amount of ingenuity than
they were ever willing to acknowledge previ
ous to their undertaking the task of rearing a
Southern Confederacy. Previous to that
nu tlim* j\mi, rJniiA/l !t iln/viin rli n m nml lin
neatli tlio dignity of a gentleman to perform
manual labor of any kind. Perhaps in their
case necessity was the mother of invention ns
well as labor, but be that as it may, we know
they manufactured many little articles, such as
chairs, tables, bedsteads, etc., with which to
render prison life comfortable. Many of the
articles were very fair specimens of Southern
furniture and mechanism, and not totally de
void of rustic beauty. In tho line of chairs,
they manufactured hundreds of tho old split
bottomed variety, bottomed with the leather of
old hoots, cut into strings, and neatly inter
woven Together
Owing to a scarcity of tools, the wooden
frames were only made with the use of the
jack-knife and augur, and were really a
staunch made chair. On the release- of (lie
prisoners, hundreds of these chairs were sold
at public auction, for Whatever - they would
bring, and many of them are now scattered
about tho country, some preserved by sympa
thising friends as relics, and all that remains
of a cause oucc dear to their hearts, but now,
alas! no more. Others carry one home as
they would a bullet or a piece of shell from a
battlefield, not that they attach any intrinsic
value or merit to it, but simply because it is a
rebel relic.
Every chair was marked with (he name of
the owner on the top slat of the hack, together
with the number of his regiment and the State
from whence he canto. They were not
marked, we suppose, because they suspected
the honesty of their fellow prisoners, but
simply that they might be able to tell their
own, and be able to reclaim their property,
should it stray from their quarters. It is not
an uncommon thing now to see a chair sitting
around, once owned by Colonel Sawyer of the ;
Fourteenth Mississippi, or other notables of
the once rebel bull-pen. Fifty years hence j
such articles will be looked upon as greater I
curiosities than many that now grace our i
public museums, and cost hundreds of dol- j
lars.—[Sandusky Register
Rev. Charles K. Marshall's Lecture.
This gentleman so well known and so highly
appreciated as an able minister of tlic Metho
dist Church South, and as a brilliant orator,
delivered a lecture last evening in Odd fellows
Hall to a crowded assemblage. We should
judge there were 1.500 persons present, a large
number of whom tv ere ladies. T ho utmost
order, silence and decorum prevailed. Dr.
Falmer, Rev .1. B Walker and others were
prSsent and took part in the services. The
years that have passed since last we saw Mr.
Marshall have rested lightly on him, and the
fatigues and labors of war—the defence of
Vicksburg, the attention to the sick and dying
in many a field and camp, and other labors in
which he lias been engaged as minister, ap
pear to have left no traces on him.
The immediate object of the lecture appear
ed to bo to show the hand of God in history,
and that the prayers of so many had not been
answered in reference to the late civil war in
the manner they had expected, yet they should
not on that account lose confidence in God.
For, one, lid had always believed slavery to be
right; that it elevated the negro. But now
that it was gone, lie would not restore it if he
could. Tlic white people of the South would
now go to work themselves; they would de
velop I he great resources of their loved land;
they would ascertain and develop its treasures
of coal and oil: would make their own shoes,
agricultural implements and such other things
as they needed, and not buy them from the
North; and the time might yet come when
abolitionism, rage and fanaticism would be
cursed at tlie North, as the cause of the ruin
of Boston, Lowell, and other places which had
thriven in the manufacture of such things as
were needed at the South; and that an artist
might yet stand on Bunker Hill and sketch
! the ruins of that city, which had been the
cradle of abolitionism. His picture of the
faithfulness of many negroes to their masters
—how they bad with him watched around the
dying bed of their wounded masters—how, at
one time, the ladies of his own household
; were left in the midst of twenty thousand no
; ji, ’ nwa “ivun luuvmujj. uuu VXCao l/UU
• time, good African slave,” said he ; lie has no
1 better friend than the Southern people, among
; whom he was raised, and lie is beginning to
i find it cut.” He showed that before the war
the people"" all, to use a homely expression,
put all their eggs into one basket; al! capital
was invested in cotton, sugar, rice or tobaco,
But now it would be changed. The account
he gave of the Virginia ladies was one of the
most eloquent things we ever heard, and sev
eral anecdotes, especially one of a gray haired
aged man, of seventy-five winters riding
amidst a storm of bullets, encouraging his men,
were very impressive; and his remarks about
“old father Johnson, the ablest man who had
ever sat in the Presidential chair since the
days of George Washington,” were received
by the audience with cheers. But the dead,”
said he’ “shall wo forget them—the wounded,
the maimed, the halt, the cripple; are they to
be forgotten ? I want to raise $5,000 to-night
for these.” He called on several of our well
known citizens who were to receive the offer
ings of lire assembly, for ihe purpose of atten
ding to the demands of those deserving objects,
and we sincerely hope the amount realized
was large.—[N. 0. Picayune.
