THE PEAL, OF BELLS,
In olden times, beside the Rhine,
Tbr re dwelt au ai tizan who wronght
A peal nl bells, and made them take
Sweet echoes Irom U s thought.
So oft, so m i-ci! they were,
S > tuuche I with tbo ights of other years,
lb* uoiceiess air grt-w eloquent
To melt the heart to tears.
And where 'th> convent crowns the crag
Thai rir-es troiri the vine-clad dells,
And redden-, to ihe summer dawns,
Tbey hung that peal ot bells.
And, when the eve that bushed the dells,
And lowiug kiue didjhome repair,
A henedI tion solt and low,
Tbey breathed along the air.
And he who wrought them built hard by
A lowly cot wherein, to dwell,
Tbat he might bear at morn aod ere
The bells be loved so well.
Ere long, her head opon her bieast,
With blissful ey.s. the sweet eyes dim,
A lair maid listens at even song
To those clear bells with him.
And soon glad children's voices blend
With f era, mirth that no cares destroy,
Dear chimes, that to a lather's heart
Rii.g back his childhood's joy.
And thus, with tbo-e he loved on earth.
He lived calm days with blessings fraughi,
Days that in music swan-like die,
Wept by the bells he wrought.
Till in his absence came a foe,
Who lbat lair couvent overthrew,
And bore away ibe peal ol hells—
His wile ami children slew.
No groans nor murmurs uttered he,
, But straight the pilgrim's staff he took ;
To A ien countries beut his way—
His home, his land lorsook.
-He wandered east, he wandered wept,
Cruz d by a sleep.ess, inward woe—
A poor, heari-broken, homeless thiug—
With feeble steps and slow ;
Until it chanced Green Erin's shore
He rercbed. nnd down the Shauuon'B tide,
The siill and balmy summer eve,
Past Limr ricK's lower's did glide.
Then suddenly the vesper chimes
Came on the breeze in fiiful swells;
He know* the voic<—ihey are. they are,
His own beloved bells!
F/iIding his arms upon bis breast,
His head a little drooped'tfie while,
He listened—all ihe woe-worn lace
Lit by a quiet smile.
Old 8'e'nes', old forms, old friends crowd in
Upon his b-ain from happier times,
And litl'e children's lauglner low
Ring in between those chimes.
His fa^e turned towards the waning towerj,
His arms still lolded on his breast,
The boatmen found him cold and still—
His weary heart at rest.

Bogus Patriotism.
Among the many scores of hundreds of men
who have rendered themselves conspicuous in
their ouicry for a vigorous prosecution of the war,
and the extermination, if need were, of the Southern pe.rple, few have been more zealous in the
cause thiin Ihe Rev. Theodore Tilton, (editor ot the
lndependant.) wbo believes that the America of
the luiure Is to be an America of mullatoes; Mr.
Edward Everett, once minister to tbe Ci.urt of
St. Jumes, and a candidate for the Presidency;
Mr. Wendell Phillips, the apostle of negropholism,
and Mr. George Opdyke, Mayor of New York, and
contractor for the supply of army blankets and
and clothing. Of these gentlemen, only one, Mr.
Tilton, is of the fighting age. The other three
are all above forty-five, and, therefore, non-liable
to personal service, unless tbey choose to shoulder
the rifle as volunteers, which no one of ihem bas
sh. nn the slightest inclination to do. Mr. T.l-
ton was drafted in Brooklyn, and some curiosity
was expressed among tbe peace party, though
none among ihe Republicans or War D mocrais.
lo know whether he would exemplify his doctrine
by his life, and consent to make one of the army
of Gen. Meade. Mr. Tilton did not keep the Government long iu suspense, but. iu a few days appeared before the Provost Marshal, with a stalwart subj-ct of the King of Prussia, who bad seeo
service in his own country, had wiihin a few weeks
arrived in tbis, and had consented lor a consider-
in greenbacks to be a substitute lor a "war Christian." The substitute was accepted. Mr. Edward
Everett has two sons above the age eighteen, and
both of 'hem were drafted. Mr. Everett may or
may nol have tried the.power of persuasion to induce then to grasp the rifle at theircountry'scall;
but, if he persuaded, his efforts were ineffectual,
nnd ibe paternal pnrse was lightened to the extent of $600, as tbe sole means of reconciling the
Government to lhe unpatriotic delinquency of
these scions of a warlike houee. Mr. George Op-
dyke's son was equally 1. th to incur the hardships
of the baulefield, and, without wailing to try the
issues of escape ou the plea of physical inability
paid the State money enough to purchase either a
Prussian or a fighting Irishman. Mr Wendell
Phillips was in a similar predicament with rvgard
to his son, whom tbe hard fortune of the conscription ha re'used to spare, la case of so thoroughgoing un advocate of the war, whose noble eloquence had so many a time and ott inspirited tie
bold, encouraged the timid, fired the lukewarm
and aroused the slumberer, it cannot be believed
tbat tbe golden oratory was silent at the domestic
hearth, and that he dM not urge his son to re
spool with enthusiasm to the call of public duty
in a cause tbat he ol all men, must consider to be
glorious. But, the remonstrance, il made, was l>
vain. Young Mr. Phillips preferred to serve b'i-
country at borne, and in civil lite, and p.id his
money as readily as if be had not been the son o'
the man who bas done more than any one living
to harden against each other the hearts ot tb.
Northern and Southern people.—.TV". Y. Correspon

"The South la Jolly."
"The South is always jolly," says a prominent
administration newspiper in new York. "They
have taken as their legend 'nil desperandum, and
to the philosophy ol tbat dogged old motto they
cling with wonderful tenacity.'' It thereupon proceeds, yjiih much iicei'ousness, to detail numerous
desperate circumstances Irom which tbe con led e-
rates have extracted hope and oontortable premise
for the future, This sunny dispositijn of lhe insurgents is hardly a subject tor us to ridicule, inasmuch as it and the uuyielding tenacity with
which it bas been accompanied, have beeu iu c n-
junction with our own suicidal politics, the rocks
wdich have barred our progress thus far, and which
now appear to b<* almost insurmountable obstacles
in tbe path of reconstruction.
The South if not "jolly," is hopeful, prudently
.calculating and determined. It is neither cast
down by great reverses nor unduly elected by success. The Confederates commenced the conteai
with fearful odds against them, and have conducted it with statesmanship, energy and courage
which have wrung praise even Irom the lanatics
who had been industriously engaged lor years io
maligning Ibem. Tliey bud not only the whole
power of the Federal government to resist its army
and navy, but in their midst there was a Union
sentiment uearly if not quite equal to the insurgent one. Tbe radical policies af the administration at Washington have united them and the rebe-
leaders have made sagacious use of the recourses
pi <ced at tbeir command. With armies whose
numbers were but a fraction of ours they have
b. aten and balled us ot every point, save at Vick
r-buigand in Louisiana, anu they have since lhe
surrender of Pemberton, so disposed their forces
tbat Vicksburg bas been ot but slight practical
advantage lo us, aud but an immateriei loss to
tbem.
We bave sent against them more than a million
and a quarter of men, provided with every material ol war aud every engine ol destruction which
the inveniive genius ot the age could furuish ;
tbe military capacity of the nation has been tested
to the u'most; we have depopulated their plantations, and armed their slaves as soldiers; have
buidened ourselves with a debt which brings us to
ihe verge of bankruptcy ; and after three-years ol
desparute war, those wbo are clamorous lor subjugation tell us the South is yet • jolly."
Perhaps tbe jollity of tbe South arises from a
want of comprehension of her true situation. This
mnsi be tbe supposition of the Whiting theorists
or ihey would not demand her reduction to vassalage. Would it not be well to export these numerous abolition missionaries for her enlightment,
as there is no hope for getting them there as soldiers to aid in her conquest? Will tbey undertake
this mission? Certain it is that while tbis "atiti-
dispositinn" on her part continues, there is slight
hope of the enforcement of the Declaration ol Independence, as construed by Phillips, in her territory, and there is much reason lo fear lh.it the
one proclaimed by Jeff. Davis aod his assisstants
may prevail. If Sumner Bbould be sentto Charleston, with a cargo of pamphlets, containing his
speech on Foreign Relations, and Butler should be
lor warned lo Georgia, with packages ofhis late
speech belor tbe Massachusetts Union Leaugo, and
Titon di-patched io Alabama, wilh amalgamation
treaties, it is possible tbe South would realize her
folly iu being "jolly."
A laice at a luneral bas been thongbt somewhat incons.roous, but those "engaged it in the
interests ol God and humanity" are daily demonstrating lbat "the quiet dogmas of the past are
joaplicable to the siormy present." The zest with
wbicb abolition philanthropists engage in making
subjects lor funerals suggests that tbey der m the
"shuffling off this morral coil" a pleasant pastime
io all bul themselves. We have had funerals by
thousands during the past three years, and tbe
grinning skeletons ot the dead have provoked fun
in our own "government" as well as iu the Confederacy. The North generally Is not as 'jolly"
as the South is represented to be, yet from the

thruugb all its range of symptoms and reach it*
crisis in tbe regular way. It was not to be hoped
that, while the patient was yet plethoric and full
of blood, the fever would suddenly abate of itself.
The Yankee nation iBst ii m ibe wild1, unrestrained enjoyment of an artificial prosperity. New
Yor city as we learn from its press, was never so
abandoned to ilees ire and license. On a certain
fine day las' w 'i k. says the Herald, over f'x tboO
sand carriages were o Minted in the Central Park:
on Ihe same da; all ibe hotels ot tbe eity were lull
to overfl .wing, aud the streets were almostimpass •
able from tbo throng of coiveyances and pedestrians ; railroad and canal stock bave advanced
far beyond all former experience; the mighty, host
of contractors.naval and military,have tbeir hands
full and manufacturers are paying fabulous wages
The whole land has its viens injected,swellingand
throbbing with unnatural life; and in the full
career of its warlike passion, all goes "merry as a
marriage bell." Was it n human nature tbat this
rl. lirious fever patient should subside all at oncer
b fofe tbe ninlb day, into a cool, refreshing sloep
and awi ke whole and sound ?
-Neither is the continuance of tbe paroxism a
thing lo be regretted ; because, tbe longer and
more vebmsnt, tbe more utter and prostrating will
be tbe collapse. All that high-wrought life is
false, morbid, and hectic ; it is not health, but mo-
tal disease, and tbe patient must either die of it,
or else, after a hard struggle and absolnte exhaustion, slowly recover, a sadder and a wiser man.
Tbe whole of tbat impossiug structure, standing
so fair and sumptuous in the enemy's country, is a
house built on sand, or, rather, on paper. The
longer tbey can prop and shore it up,—building
additional stories on It all the while—the greater
will be tbe fell thereot. When it shall bave fallen
down, a hideous wretch,—when national bankruptcy shall have come, and further disruption of
S utrs, and ci-il war and anarchy (tbe consequences of bankruptcy,)—tben, and not till then,
we will see an end of the war.
The most sparkling fl.me ol wit expires against
the steadfast walls of truth.
[From the Richmond Enquirer.]
I tbe two great "democratic" States ol Pensylva
ni» and O io tbe candidates on tbe side of war and
administration bave been elected by large majoti-
ties. Vallandigham is crushed out, Bnd his pulley
of ''peace democracy" along with him. Io goes as
we expected
Repeatedly in the Enquirer, we have demonstrated that amougst our Yankee enemies there
was no difference to us : that the democrats Were
• qually our eoemies wilh tbe republican : tbat tbe
• copperhead.' movement, wilh all its Knights of
Golden Circles, was merely a contrivance for
bringing buck tbe democratic parly into power,and
tbat immediately on tbat bappy event, the peace
democrats would all be peace democrats. Tbe
business of that country iB war j by war they live
and move. The credit of their current money, aud
its power to purchase tbe necessaries ot life, depend entirely upon war; the Income and .daily
bread of each family are derived from tbe war:
iberelore all principles and policies yield to the
grand principle and policy of war. Ardently as
democrats and copperheads desire to have for
themselves the management of tbe national business and the handling of national monoy, yet they
all know that they cannot do without the war at
all. Therefore it was by skillfully representing
•hat the vigorous prosecution of lhe war would
be impaired by any condemnation of the Pr.sid-
eut's pres- nt policy that lhe population of Ibose
iwo domocraiic States have been induced even to
forego their party interests and predilections, even
to renounce the hope of offioe and spoils, aod to
swallow black *eplMicanisin whole—subjugation,
ibolition, and all—rather then weaken the bands of
'he war administration.
This result, be it matter of regret or other wise
was inevitable at the present stage of the affair.
The war lever, like, auy other malady, had to go
, State Rights.
It is certainly a little amusing to read the debates in congress along in 1853 and 1854, says
the Dubuque Herald, when the abollition party
delended Northern States and Northern Courts in
tbeir nullificaiion of and opposition to the Fugitive Slave law.
On page 215 of tbe apendix to the Congressional Globe, for 2855, Senator Wade, of Ohio, uttered
tbe following ;
Do you think tbat the puny arm ef the Federal
Government can override the States ; tbat you can
discourage them by threats, and that by such attempts as these you can prevent them from going
in tbat vindication of tbeir rights which they have
so gloriously begun ? I envy Wisconsin tee glory
of taking tbe initiative in the great work ol vindicating the Constitution from such a masure as
the Fugitive Slave Act. Sir let us as-semble a
Legislature in the State of Ohio to-day. and I am
proad to contemplate witb wbat firmness she will
meet resist, and overthrow attempts like tbis. Tbis
is the old force bill wbicb caused South Carolina to
arise and assen'her rights, and compel the Government to back out.
I am one of those who at all times believe In the
wisdom, the constitutionality and tbe propriety ot
tbe Virginia Resolutions of 1798 and 1799. I
ground mysell on these resolutions, and, Standing
upon them, I denouce this bill as a violation,
not only ol tbe spirit of tbose resolutions, but as
an uttemot to trample upon the rights of citizens
of States, and deprive them of ihe power to protect
their own citizens from aggression and abuse.
You have preached State Rights until yon have
;mbued tbe minds of tbe people with the idea that
there is something in the cry.
So much for one of the ceercionists of 18S2. who
believe in wiping out State sovereignty with the
"puny arm ofthe Federal Government."
Salmon P. Chase, on the same occasion, spoke
of the bill (wbicb was simply a measure to secure
tbe execution of the United Slate law, by removing them from tbe jurisdiction of State to Federal
courts.) in the following manner to be found on
page 211:
Sir, this bill is for the overthrow of State rights^
It is a bill to establish a great central consolidated
Federal Government. It is a step, astride,toward despotism. But it is a natural step when
Congress usurped tbe power to legislate for tbs
reclamation of fugitive slaves without constitutional warrant; tbis step became necessary to
complete the humiliation ofthe States.
' Now Salmon P. Chase is master of a thousand
presses to manufacture paper money (which be also
once decried.) to pay men whose sole business it ie
"to overthrow State rights" and ensure the "complete hurnilif.tion of States." Now tbey bave the <
insolence to speak about the "accursed doctrine of
State rights," and instruct their hirelings to bfa$k* .,
gnard tbose who maintain it. Tbe duplicity, the .-
roitenes of these political lepers is as disgasting as
it is infamous,
"My party, sir, will not lie in idleness," eeid aa
Abolitionist. "Very true, sir, retorted his opponent, "your party is not chargeable with lying is
idleness nor idleness in lying."
A Frenchman writing a letter in English to a
Irici-.d, and looking in the dictionary for the word
preserve, and finding it meant to pickle, wrote bb
follows: "May yon and your family be pickled te
all eternity.
A husband telegraphed to his wife: '•What
b re you for breakfast; and how is the, baby f—•
Tbe answer came: 'Buckwheat cakes and tba
measles."
Irish Modestt.—An Irish piper, who now and
tben indulged In a glass too much, was aceosted by
a gentleman with "Pat, what makes your face sored!"
"place your honor," replied Pat, "I always bllieb
when I spakerto a genllem m."
He that hath l* money needeth no parse.

THE PEAL, OF BELLS, In olden times, beside the Rhine, Tbr re dwelt au ai tizan who wronght A peal nl bells, and made them take Sweet echoes Irom U s thought. So oft, so m i-ci! they were, S > tuuche I with tbo ights of other years, lb* uoiceiess air grt-w eloquent To melt the heart to tears. And where 'th> convent crowns the crag Thai rir-es troiri the vine-clad dells, And redden-, to ihe summer dawns, Tbey hung that peal ot bells. And, when the eve that bushed the dells, And lowiug kiue didjhome repair, A henedI tion solt and low, Tbey breathed along the air. And he who wrought them built hard by A lowly cot wherein, to dwell, Tbat he might bear at morn aod ere The bells be loved so well. Ere long, her head opon her bieast, With blissful ey.s. the sweet eyes dim, A lair maid listens at even song To those clear bells with him. And soon glad children's voices blend With f era, mirth that no cares destroy, Dear chimes, that to a lather's heart Rii.g back his childhood's joy. And thus, with tbo-e he loved on earth. He lived calm days with blessings fraughi, Days that in music swan-like die, Wept by the bells he wrought. Till in his absence came a foe, Who lbat lair couvent overthrew, And bore away ibe peal ol hells— His wile ami children slew. No groans nor murmurs uttered he, , But straight the pilgrim's staff he took ; To A ien countries beut his way— His home, his land lorsook. -He wandered east, he wandered wept, Cruz d by a sleep.ess, inward woe— A poor, heari-broken, homeless thiug— With feeble steps and slow ; Until it chanced Green Erin's shore He rercbed. nnd down the Shauuon'B tide, The siill and balmy summer eve, Past Limr ricK's lower's did glide. Then suddenly the vesper chimes Came on the breeze in fiiful swells; He know* the voic<—ihey are. they are, His own beloved bells! F/iIding his arms upon bis breast, His head a little drooped'tfie while, He listened—all ihe woe-worn lace Lit by a quiet smile. Old 8'e'nes', old forms, old friends crowd in Upon his b-ain from happier times, And litl'e children's lauglner low Ring in between those chimes. His fa^e turned towards the waning towerj, His arms still lolded on his breast, The boatmen found him cold and still— His weary heart at rest. jan!7 S. & A.

J HENSLEY, President. The Dbunkard's Will.—"I leave to >society a mined character, wretched example, a memory that will soon rot in oblivion. I l.-ave lo my parents, during the rest of tbeir lives, as much sorrow as humanity in a feeble and deorepid state can possibly sustain. I leave to my brothers and sisters as mnch mortification and injury as I could well bring on tbem.

Among the many scores of hundreds of men who have rendered themselves conspicuous in their ouicry for a vigorous prosecution of the war, and the extermination, if need were, of the Southern pe.rple, few have been more zealous in the cause thiin Ihe Rev. Theodore Tilton, (editor ot the lndependant.) wbo believes that the America of the luiure Is to be an America of mullatoes; Mr. Edward Everett, once minister to tbe Ci.urt of St. Jumes, and a candidate for the Presidency; Mr. Wendell Phillips, the apostle of negropholism, and Mr. George Opdyke, Mayor of New York, and contractor for the supply of army blankets and and clothing. Of these gentlemen, only one, Mr. Tilton, is of the fighting age. The other three are all above forty-five, and, therefore, non-liable to personal service, unless tbey choose to shoulder the rifle as volunteers, which no one of ihem bas sh. nn the slightest inclination to do. Mr. T.l- ton was drafted in Brooklyn, and some curiosity was expressed among tbe peace party, though none among ihe Republicans or War D mocrais. lo know whether he would exemplify his doctrine by his life, and consent to make one of the army of Gen. Meade. Mr. Tilton did not keep the Government long iu suspense, but. iu a few days appeared before the Provost Marshal, with a stalwart subj-ct of the King of Prussia, who bad seeo service in his own country, had wiihin a few weeks arrived in tbis, and had consented lor a consider- in greenbacks to be a substitute lor a "war Christian." The substitute was accepted. Mr. Edward Everett has two sons above the age eighteen, and both of 'hem were drafted. Mr. Everett may or may nol have tried the.power of persuasion to induce then to grasp the rifle at theircountry'scall; but, if he persuaded, his efforts were ineffectual, nnd ibe paternal pnrse was lightened to the extent of $600, as tbe sole means of reconciling the Government to lhe unpatriotic delinquency of these scions of a warlike houee. Mr. George Op- dyke's son was equally 1. th to incur the hardships of the baulefield, and, without wailing to try the issues of escape ou the plea of physical inability paid the State money enough to purchase either a Prussian or a fighting Irishman. Mr Wendell Phillips was in a similar predicament with rvgard to his son, whom tbe hard fortune of the conscription ha re'used to spare, la case of so thoroughgoing un advocate of the war, whose noble eloquence had so many a time and ott inspirited tie bold, encouraged the timid, fired the lukewarm and aroused the slumberer, it cannot be believed tbat tbe golden oratory was silent at the domestic hearth, and that he dM not urge his son to re spool with enthusiasm to the call of public duty in a cause tbat he ol all men, must consider to be glorious. But, the remonstrance, il made, was l> vain. Young Mr. Phillips preferred to serve b'i- country at borne, and in civil lite, and p.id his money as readily as if be had not been the son o' the man who bas done more than any one living to harden against each other the hearts ot tb. Northern and Southern people.—.TV". Y. Correspon dent ofthe London Times. "The South la Jolly." "The South is always jolly" says a prominent administration newspiper in new York. "They have taken as their legend 'nil desperandum, and to the philosophy ol tbat dogged old motto they cling with wonderful tenacity.'' It thereupon proceeds, yjiih much iicei'ousness, to detail numerous desperate circumstances Irom which tbe con led e- rates have extracted hope and oontortable premise for the future, This sunny dispositijn of lhe insurgents is hardly a subject tor us to ridicule, inasmuch as it and the uuyielding tenacity with which it bas been accompanied, have beeu iu c n- junction with our own suicidal politics, the rocks wdich have barred our progress thus far, and which now appear to b<* almost insurmountable obstacles in tbe path of reconstruction. The South if not "jolly" is hopeful, prudently .calculating and determined. It is neither cast down by great reverses nor unduly elected by success. The Confederates commenced the conteai with fearful odds against them, and have conducted it with statesmanship, energy and courage which have wrung praise even Irom the lanatics who had been industriously engaged lor years io maligning Ibem. Tliey bud not only the whole power of the Federal government to resist its army and navy, but in their midst there was a Union sentiment uearly if not quite equal to the insurgent one.
