From the pilded saloon to the bier and the shroud Ob, why should th. spirit of mortal be proud 1 Almost fitartliug in their premonitory apt ness aro the first and the last verses. They aro like nuconscious prophecy. The author of the poem is said to bo William Knox, wbo died at thirty-six years of age, in 1825, at Edinburg, Scotland. The poem wan com municated to the N. T. Pott by F.. B. Car pouter, the artist who painted the picture of tho Emancipation Proclamation, lie says : I wag with the Presitrcnt alone on evening in nis room, uuring tne time 1 jas paiutiug my large picture at the White House, last year, lie presently threw aside his pen and papers, and becran to talk to me of Sliuk-es- peare. He sent little "Tad," bis son, to the' uorary, 10 bung a copy ot lue plays, and then read to me several of his favorite passages, showing genuine appreciation of the great poet. Itclapsing into a sadder strain, he laid the book aside, and leaning back in his chair, said : - "There is a poem which has been a great favorite with me for years, which was first shown to me when a young man by a friend, and which I afterward saw and cut from a newspaper and learned by heart I would," he continued, "give a great deal to know who wrote it, but I never have been able to ascertain."Then half closing his eyes ho repeated to me the lines which I encloso to you. Greatly pleased and interested, I told hini I woold like, if over an opportunity occurred, to write them down from his lips. He said he wonld some time try to irive them to ma A few days afterward he asked rce to accompany mm to mo temporary stumo of JUr. Swayuf the sculptor, who was making a bust of him at the Treasury Department While he wag sitting for the bust I was suddenly reminded of the poem, and said to him that then would be a good time to dictate it to me. He com, plied, and silting upon some books at his feet, a nearly asl can remember, I wrote the lines down, one by one, from his lips. After we had discussed for a brief time the merit of the poem referred to above, Mr Lincoln said : "There are somo qmtiot queer verses, written I think by Oliver Wendell Holmes, called 'The Last Leaf,' ono of which is to mo inexpressibly todchiug." lie then repeated to mo, also from memory' the poem. The verse he referred to occurs aboutlhe middle of the poem, and is this : "The raossy marble rest On the lip which be baa pressed In their bloom, - And the names he lored to hear ' ' Have been carved for many a year - On tbe tomb." As he finished this verso, he said in his emphatic ways "For pure pathos, in my judgment, there is noliiiiic finer than thono six lines in the English language I" ' reom the-Weekly Review. . McAronc- navo you reap "Enoch Arden ?" It is a very pretty nocm. containing; the his tory of a fellow wbo went and did H. Crusoe for soma years, on an uninhabitable island. Meanwhile Ins wife, getting tired of waitioir as women will went and married another fellow.- . Then the first fellow Came homo and wont and died. Of coarse I haven't related this touchinsr circumstance so poetically and pathetically as a. ienny8on lias, out tbe above statement comprises the pitb of it, aud is a good deal shorter tban tbe original poem ; which makes u easier to read. - , And that is a great consideration with bus iness man. I romflmber when I was editing a connlrv paper, once, I had more time than I knew what to do with, so I wrote an epic poem that filled an entire number of my journal. What was the result f Why, my subscribers were all bnsiness-men, and nobody read my epic. ' ' . : . bo I think, on the whole, that the nenDle who do things to got rich, down in Wall street and the Swamp, will prefer the slight synopsis I have givon. of "Enech Arden," to tne simon-pure story itself by A. Tennyson. i nese rcmarxs, as you nare nmloubteilly discovered, contain mue.h food for mature and profound rerloction. You moy rend them over again, if you like. It does no harm to improvo the mind, even at the expense of some little tronble end falignn. jHif, notwillistau'liiic thewifilom therein in be found, all fJs is merrry prefatory. I did not Introduce the subioct of Knoch.1 melan choly lot for the take of showing bow li ttl time business-men cno snare for litorarr pur suits, but because a very simfar romance haso come under my observation in real lire. That is, if there is such a thing as "real" lire in tins world ot hollow delusions and vain deceits ; this world whore shoddy and shin plasters rob ns of our earnestness and faith where naught can be believed in, particularly in tbe way of back-hair ; where my meer schaum is an imitation, my terrier is not thorough bred, and there is nothing true or good save gold coin and Aimee tjuou-chou I But I digress. This little history that I am about to relate, is the offspring of the present fratricidal strnir- gle which is wull known to exist somewhere down South; ''. Bridget do McShane was, tis her name in dicates, a I'ortugcse lady. Her father owned castles in Spain, nod was tne proprietor or a splendid estate- which he devoted to the culture of that essentially Por tugese truii, me potato. But worldly wealth is fleetintf. Coant Terence de McShane bad difficulties connected with his rent , A base and bloated Saxon persecuted him, and Lis lordly riches dwindled to nothing; r He became embarrassed and was finally uuiHcsy enoiign to aio. Tbe fair Bndp-et immediately emiirrated to this land of the free and home of the brave. She took a simple, unadorned apartment in modest mansion situated at the end of an alley way, in tne rear oi a carpenters stiop in Ave. nue H, and devoted hor energies to the gaining of her daily bread. Among the numerous accomplishments that her early luxurious -life had conferred upon her, wai that of wntfaiiig linen. For this art slio had eror evinced a most extraordinary luiuni, amounting, at cerium moments 01 in spiration, to positive genius. I am perfectly couscious that the heroines of welt-regulatod romances, when they become reduced iu circumstances, invariably go out at once as governesses. They i seem to lave, an especiul right and title to that somewhat do- lenle profession : aud it gives them an excel lent opportunity te cut out the'eldor sister of their interesting juvenile charges, and to mar ry tne nero, a sweet young person with "raven tresse clustering about an alabaster brow." But it was different with the proud and haughty Bridget de McShane. She scorned to sit an interior, at the pampered millionaire's table ; so, armed with nothing but her washboard, her virtue, and a bar of yellow soap, she faced the cojd, hard world aud de- hed the terrors of poverty. The young carpenter whose studio was in front of her dwelling, taw her at her work every day. He admired her pondorous rosy arms, laved in the flushing suds, and at eve, when all was still found a rare charm in lis tening to the tones of hor occordenn as they floated out npou the saddened twilight and fulling fuiutly and softly, smote one of his ears ho was hard of heating iu tho other and round their way to thejunormost chambers of his hitherto qntouched henrt . ... ' . - And this plain. sincr heart of Tetor J. Hogan, carpentor, was thus lifted iid from its surroundings of sawdust and shavings, and yearned for a kindred heart to share its woes, its joys, and us longings; So, in due time, rotor J. Ilocan wooed and won the bright Bridget and thoy were wed on a merry morn in May, with much tranquil delight aud overflowing happiuosl and a little wnisKcy. J ben the Rebellion shed its lurid liifht nth wart a bewildered land. The eagle shrieked, tbe country called, and Feter enlisted. Having enlisted, he naturally went to the war. At the verv flmt hnlllo hn wss intlml nf I iSig Uethel be fell, aud was left for dead no - . . .. on the field. Bridget was, as I have already intimated, a creature of noble birth and education. She tend the Sun every day, and in its fatal list of tne killed, she saw with a sharp pang or grief, the name of her own Peter J. Hogan I i ears posed, and tune has power to heal II wounds. Let ns not pause to annlvze the tedious aud weary process by which this lady arrived at a state of calm and serene existence. She still loved the memory of her Ilogan. but tbe passion of woa was over, and she married a brewer who had a horse and cart of his own. and lived in East Eleventh streuj near the Bowery. One may be happy, oven with a brower Bridget's life flowed on In a peaceful current, and she didn't have to work so hard as formerly.Pause, reader, before yon condemn hor line of conduct. Think how yon might have acted in her place. , One fine Sunday morning, while Bridget was sewing a button on ono of her husband's shirts, and ho was shaving himself by a' littlo round glass in a pewter case, tho lady uttered a piercing cry, aud fell into such a state ns groatly to nlurm her liege. At the same time, she refused io communicate the cause Tjf her excitement and grief. ' Tbe fact was that she had seen Fcler J. nogan in tho street, apparently seeking for somo one. - ' . e ' Possibly yon can judge- of her feelings i t cannot She pictured to herself tbe agony of that unhappy man, who after unheard-of sufferings and hardships had returned to his home with a henrt full of expectation and anticipated joy at tho meeting of a faithful and astonished wife. And then to find her wedded to another I It was too sad to bear. The day was passed in gloomy forebodings on Bridget's part, and In sorrowful wonder-ings on the part of her husband. . Ho could make nothing of her behavior, and slio would explain nothing. - t And I have noticed that when such t conditio nf things exist between husband and wife there is generally tbe d I to pay. groome days afterward, while going to the pi'V-ery-storo to procure a small measure of heratoes for dinner, 1'ridget met, faee to face, ' ' long lost Peter. "Peter I" she shrieked. ' Hullo I" said he, "is that yon, Biddy t" Her heart sunk at these words of tenderness. She felt that she mu.it tell him all, even though the blow proved fatal. . "0, Peter, I thought you were dead 1 The prper said so." "The paper lied, then. I've been in Libby prison." "And you could not return in time to prevent it V she sobbed. "Prevent what t" "0, how can I tell yon ! What shall I say f You will hate me I" "You have not spiled the clock, have yon?"' "O, no ; I would Hint it were no worse I" "You havn't pawned them moulding-planes and let the ticket run out, have you t I bet that's It r ' "O, no. Worse, far worse V "Well, I swan I What have you been doing r She hid her face In her apron, and with msny tours murmured out her horrid secret "Peter I have msnied again P "You have f "Yes.

From the Oil Regions of Pennsjl vania- I am, for the time being, a sojourner in this land of wondars, and, presuming that some of your subscribers would bo interested to read something from this section of Pennsylvania, I propose to dot down a few linegHn regard to some tnings that bavocome under my person al observation. There are many occurrences in this "oleaginous" country, that bear more tne character ot the stones which, in our boyhood, we used to read'with an absorbinir in terest, in the Arabian Niglili, and similar romances. When we bear of the colossal fur- tunes that have been realized bv men in this "Home of the Oil," we are fain to believe that the Witchery ;of Aladdin's lamo hns been re- vived,'and that we here are realizing the mairio arts of the Arabian sorcerer in this present uuyanu generation.' io some moo. wealth has arisen, literally, from the p-round. as if the -eann bad been smitten by .the magicians tvuuu; una men wno nave struggled through lifo, pinched by the most abject Bovertv. have uuuHmy awaKonca to nna luornsolves million-aries, with a continuing stream adding daily w tueir Buuueniy acquired treasure, until they are miriy Dewudcrca under their accumulated load of riches. Oue who two years azo was a poor man. now bos a daily income from his producing i nterest of $3000 a day. The own er of the famous Tarr farm realized the sum of $.1,000,000 from tbe sale of his farm, and is now engaged in soiling bald-fuce whiskey and cigars at Meadvillo. On Monday last, I rode over a farm containing 160 acres of rough hill anu piun, witn very few acres or good oil territorysuch a piece of land as a Wisconsin man would pass by with contemDt It is known as the Afx'Rae farm, lyingeast of the Coquette well, for Tvbich the owner, an old Scotbman, has been offered $300,000, but refuses to. sell for less than $1,000,000! All the original owners of the great flowing wells retired with great wealth, and millions hnvo been made here by men who have retired io eniov the fruits of their good fortune. 'A feeling of astonishment naturally arises at these iustances Of sudden wealth, but tlmtastonishmeut measurably subsides when the " amount of capltat invested in the oil business,, in Vonango and Warran counties, is understood. This capital amounts now to hundreds of millions of dol-lars,"with a certain addition of other millions, in tho coming spring and summer, v To appro-, ciate the results of this amount of capital invested, description is inadequate; personal observation only can satisfy the inquirer. Tho original oil region of Pennsylvania extends from Corry on the Atlantio and Great Western Railroad, to Oil City at the mouth of Oil creek, which empties into tho Allogbouy iivcr, uuuut iuu uiiius aoove riusourg. me Alleghany is navigable for a trreat distance above Oil City, in ordinary high water. This original oil region is embraced in the counties of Warren and Venango, bnt tho area in which oil is being discovered is extending through the adjoining counties, so that the territory actually to be considered as likely to produce petroleum is much larger than heretofore. My remarks will bo confined to the oil region proper, botween Oil City and the northern part of Warren county toward Corry. The great centre of the oil-producing territory of r arrrn county is at 1 itusviile, which is a city of 8,000 or 10,000 inhabitants. It is near this place that the first well was s"uck, by' Col. Drake, in the year 1861. The great centres of Oildom, for the transaction of business pertaining to oil wells and oil territory, are divided between Titusville and Oil City. Around Titusville and through the valleys of tho creeks and runs between Titusville and.Tideoute, on the Alleghany river, many wells were sunk in 1861, being bored with what is called "the kicking drill," and by water power. The first process was performed by the foot of tho driller operating on a spring bole, and was a very laborious operatTon, and, as a .consequence, some of the wells were sunk aot much bolow tho first sandstone, seldom going mere than two hundred feet generally striking oil within that distance. These wells, after yielding oil in large quantities, were found to bo unprofitable, by reason of general ignorance of tbe use of petroleum, which limited the demand," and the crudo oil was reduced in price to twenty-five cents por barrel, which caused the opeya-tors to shut down and abandon their wolls. These old wells are -now being resuscituted, roamed out end sunk doeper, ond, under the enhnuced price of oil, hid fair to remunerate their owners for the long time they have been obliged to wait to realize. Many flowing wells were struck in 18fi2sind 1863 which produced enormous quantities of oil; in one iuatnncc, the old Empire well flowed a long time 3,500 barrels of oil por day. The monstrous quantity of oil' produced by theso flowing wells caused a glut iu the market and petroleum oil bore a low prico for a lonir time. . All these extrnonliuary wells havo ceased flowing, and a few are pumping bo- iwccu ouo anu two nuuureu barrels per day, while somo have ceased yielding oil. The largest flowing well uowextantis the Coquette at Petroleum Centre. This well now throws up 640 barrels daily, simply flowing into (anhg through au inch aud a hall pipe.- Tho tanks hold 1200 barrels each, and are twelve in number, making a tankenpocity of 14,400 barrels, ltutingtho valuoofoilnt ten dollars makes the daily flow of the Coquette worth $6,400, and as the well is no resoecter of the Sabbath, the gross estimate of the Coquette well may be set down as in the neichborhoml of 233,000 barrels, at $10 per barrel, making the modest sum of $2,333,000. This is no sham, but a veritable reality. The well anuria and blows, aud pours forth the oil without in termission, making a noise like a steam engine. It is certainly one of tbe wonders of the world Several wells are flcwinir hundreds of bnrrela por day, but non are equal to the Coquette. uo my ui uig uuntug wens, iiko iu empire and Philips, is post, undoubtedly, but it is possible that new wells may be sunk, which may equal or exceed the Coquotte, as territory out side or tne un creek region is being teeled with great show of success. It would occupy too great a poce iu your paper to enter into details of all that is interesting, itx.tliis region, aud I must confine myself to generalities. t My personal observation has been in Venango county, having travelled over a considerable portion of it, and visited most of tho pr.ncipal localities on the runs and streams. The great artery is Oil creek, with several mi-anr branches, Cherry run, Cherry-Tree run, Bull run. Benehoff creek, and several other unimporbint afflneuts. Oil creek is here called "the home ol oil," nd it is on this cret k that tlie va( fortunes have been made, doing tip Oil creek, you encounter tho dirric'KJ nu tho Grill Hafsan trat, which is hot considered v Wre or p'roMa Mnrttbty; nfext tut ter ritory of Diesel & Co.; next the Cornpluntor tract (by tho Way, near the mouth oruil creek wan tho home of tho celebrated Iudian Chief Cornplnnter); next you come to the II. Mc- UlntocK rami; the Htichanan iurm, onwhlcb is located the village of Rouseville, and Cherry run enters Oil creek; further on is tho John McCllutock farm, the Rynd farm, tho Blood furra, then you come to the celebrated Tarr farm, on which ore situated some of the best wells iu tho valley, and oil is struek in almost every instance ; above tbe Tarr farm is the Stony farm and the Washington McCliutock farm, on which is tlie villago of Central Petroleum; the next is tho Prink farm, on which is tho village of Friukvlllo: north of whieh is the JHchltionny farm. Bouciioit creek outers Oi creek on tho Friuk farm. The various farms between Frnnklln and Titusville are but a continuation of the innum erable derricks and cngiua houses that you nave enconntered Irom the mouth or Uil creek. Hundreds of derricks are ulwuys in sight from Oil City to Titusville, iu some instances bo crowded they rcaemhlo more' the forests of masts which a Wow X orkor soes at"iio city docks. In addition to tho valley of Oil creek Cherry run, coming into Oil creek at Rouse ville is covered with derricks and cnginchouses, built or building, from its mouth to tho village of Plumer, and preparations for building fur above the village are muking. Chorry run is now the A No. 1 territory for oil, Cherry- Tree mn, Bull run, Benehoff creek, ore all being invaded and improved "by tho insatiable oil-eceker, and the next four months will see stupendous results in the production of the oleaginous commodity, All tho streams we have described have a narrow bottom, flanked on each side by steep bluffs two or three hundred feet high, sometimes varied by a narrow boach or table land. Othor streams, such as Pithols creek, Cul berson run, Stewart's run, West. Hickory, and other streams sought for oil, bear the Bamo goncral cbaractorlas Oil creek and tributaries if anything more rough aud broken. Such characteristics are now sought for os affording tno nest oil territory; To the westot Uil creek running into tho Alleghany, are Two Mile run and Sugar creek, which havo beon recontly proved to ho good oil laud a well having been struck near tbe mouth of the latter stream which proves, by tost to yield 54 barrels of lubricating oil daily, selling at tho tauk, pur chaser furnishiog barrels, at $25 per barrel. A snug daily income. Sugar creek dillers from the other creeks in being a good farming country. The valloy is from three quarters to mile and a half wide, and extends 16 or 20 miles. Tbe land on aud near the stream, aud its branches is being purchased by speculators at enormous prices, for oil purposes. Coop- erstown, on Sugnr creek, is seven miles from I'ranttuo.

Sugar oreek must be considered os first-ruto oil territory.. Tho south portion of Venango county, south of the Alio- ghany, is wutered by several streams, on which the laud is being eagerly nought up. au in-tonse excitement !b now raging in tlo East Sandy region, by reason of tho sinking or a flowing well, which is variously stated at one hundred nnd two hundred barrels por flay. E, B. Qm'ftfr.' The Results or tho War-Onr Losses and out Cains The New Life to jtlie Nation. The war is ended, the rebellion Is subjugated, and peoco is at band, under the victorious ensign of (he Union. From its awful baptism of blood and fire tho nation has entered upon a new life a new career of unity, proiporlty and power. Through four years of tho most formidable and ferocious rebellion in the history of any civilized peoplo we have mado manifest to tho world the tremendous vitulity and strength of our national government and popular institutions; and the great American republic stands this doy tho arbiter of the American con tineut, - Our. losses in this gigantic struggle would have swamped any other country, excepting, perhaps, Russia; and yet not only iu tho material elements of war, but in population and in wealth, tho United States are imracusely stronger than at the beginning of this contest For four years, North uud South iucluded, wo have had a ruillon of able-bodied mon withdrawn from our producers, and supported at' the publio exponce, while devotod to the work of destruction of humane life and property. Within those four years we have lost as much as two cotton crops, eaoh of four millions of bales, at least two full crops of Loosiuhna sugar, aud the Southern staples of rico and tobacco havo been 'proportionately diminished. We havo lost on both sides, from bnttlo, disease aud from sufferings incident to the war, iucluding dead and disabled, not less, perhaps tlniu hulfa million of nblo bodied men. By the ravages of the war in the Southern States thousands of millions of property hnvo been destroyed, thousands of onco wealthy families have been rcducod to poverty, nnd tens of thousands of widows and orphans havo beeu brought to the trials of starvation. Tho slaveholders of the South have been despoiled or four millions of slaves, valued in pence times ot two thousund millions of dollars. The rebellions States havo squaudered three thousand millions in carrying on the war, and the loyal States, in' addition to their taxes and lavish free contributions to tho national cause, have piled np a national dobtoftwenty-fivo hundred millions, nnd yet the Union is stronger in pop-ulution and wealth to day than it was at tho first bombardment of Fort Sumter. If our losses from thowarhave been enormous beyond precedont, our gaiusare without a parallel in history. Wo have gained tho (bolitiou of African slavery tho removal of I that fruitful source of sectional agitation' and discord and we thns reclaim the rebellious States on tho homogeneous platform of universal liberty. 1 The one groat internal source of dissentioo aud danger to tho Uuion, hiii) the great iuenbus to tlio settlement and development of the fertile Southern States, is gone. Ten years of free lubor will show how insignificant have been tbe products of those States compared with their capacities. Old Virginia a fair instance, though shorn of tli( rich and extensive fanning, lumber, coal, iron and oil regions of West Virginia, is still, in commercial facilities, productive soil, Ono climate, manufacturing and mineral resources end menus, infinitly rieher than the Empire State of New York. With tho removal of slavery tho.e vast resources will rapidly be developed 8o, too, it will be with Kentucky, Tennossee, Arkansas, North Coroliui, Georgia, Alabama, and all the other Southern States. The heavy currents of emigration, which for fifty years have been flowing westward, and tuililing up great cities nnd popnlotn Statet in their progress will now bo largely diverted southward and the results will amaze the world. Under thew new and powerful impulses of free labor and emigration we venture tho prediction that the cotlou crop of tho Koulh. fur exampU, two years hence, will he six millions of baM. At the iota tfrrl, fro our di,3ba'- ded armies, tho settlement aud davaUipincnt of our lnoxhauatible gold and silver rOEioru. of the Far West will bo more rapid and exten sive than ever heretofore. A Pacific railroad will soon bring them la quick Mppott with. New York and all the East: so thitt South and West there will bo such temptatioug ta onterprmng and industrious men as win bring us sottlors irom turope Dy minions ior tho thousands that have been coming during the war. Such is the moguiflcent prospect which is opened before us from the suppress. sioa of the rebellion, the triumph the regeneration of the Union, and the return of peace on tho basis of universal liberty. Wo become a compact and homogeneous people, with th removal oi tne cause oi our suciiunai aginations, and our mischevous sectioual 'parties', leading to civil atrifo, will disappear. Old things are done away with; old parties, principles, platforms, leadors and followers, anil all things, have becomo new. Four years of, this most destructive war have, indeed, dons for us the work of a hundred yoars of plodding' peace; and from the fire and tho smoke of the) mighty conflict tue great repnblio which is to-lead the world to freedom rises like the phceois from its allies, and will fulfil its graud and, glorious missiou. N. Y. Htrald. . What Shall be Done wlta Jeff. ' Davis? . We copy, and cordially endorse the follow-I log, which we find in the Cin. Gazette of the1 15th. It jmbrucos tho views of loyal mon all over the. loyal States. Every whore tha peoplo ay that tho crime of treason must bo ' punished in the person of its prime leader : ' Tho bead of the conspiracy which plungod - the country into civil war f dolufred our laud : with blood, and assassinated the Chief Mugis- , trate of the Uuited States, was captured by General Wilson, in Ooorgia, on tho 10th iust Next to tho breaking down of tho military powor of the so called Confederacy, this event will bo pleosing to the loyal peoplo, as it will also bo marked in history. Andrew Jackson, on bis duath-bed, declared that tho mistake of ' his lifo was that he did not hang Calhoun, who was the first apostle nnd able advocate of ; the principles which produced the rebellion, j Andrew Johnson, we may be sure, will pot . commit a similar blunder. He Will hang Jeff. '( Davis. Upon this point there may. bo ro doubt ' ' ; . .- i And lot not tho sympathizers with treason , and sentimental loyalists cry out against. this . course as the essence of vengeance, aud do- nounco its advocatos as bloodthirsty. We ' would hang Jeff. Duvis, not in a spirit of ven- goauce, not because more blood is desirable, but to punish crime, aud to stamp treason ,' against this Government as the greatest of all crimev The gallows, in this country, is no the instrument of vengenncrSiijJ; of justice. ' The lifo of the criminal is as nothing compared . with tho life of tbe State. Treason against ( tho latter affects the lives and happiness of ; the people. Therefore, this treason is mon-' strous, and of nil rpen its authors ore guilty ; of tho ,mot't rr.oustroua crimes. Undoi such circumstances tho ir pardon would bo a crime against the State, and of this no man who loves his couutry will bo guilty. Andrew Johnson will not be guilty of it of this we . may feol sure. ' ' ' .' ", -. If the brand of lufamy had boon stamped , oyon treason in tho caso of Calhoun does any- -' body bolieve the late rebellion would have occurred I Theparing of that great crimU nals life made treason respectable. Hence the rebellion. His punishment oa the othor hand, wpuld have born security for the future, . Hod la. beon hung, Calhoun's school of secessionists would have been broken up. It would fi not have continued to plot the treason, which . in 1861 culminated io rebellion; But as it ' was, young men imbibed treason from their mothers' breasts. They grew up in the school of treason. They learned to regard the doctrine of secession as ovidence of Southern . ohivnlry j and in the South not to'belong to this class was to be disreputable.-. Hence the -: publio men of tho South rushed alm&st en mass into tho conspiracy. Hor young med followed, and the masses were drivon iuto the ' maw of tho rebellion. Who shall estimate the consequonces of this 1 Who can bring ' back tbe lives of the men who fell in tho do-; fense of the national lifo f Who will claim forgiveness for the men guilty of this great crime, and of the still more infamous crime of 1 ' starving Union prisoners t The blood of six- : ty thousand of the latter cries out from the : ground against tho authors of tho rebellion.-The life of Jeff. Davis, or of every rebel in , the land,-could not atone for the crimes that have been committed; bnt tho execution upou tho gallows, will be the execution of treason, : because it will put upon treason the stamp of , infamy ; aud while it will afford all that can , be rendered to the demands of justice, so fur as tbe men who may bo hung are concerned, it will give the State security for the future. Not thoreforo, in a spirit of vengeauce, but of justice not that more blood may bo shed, but to prevent a repetition, of tho late, infamous rebellion tho peoplo demand the pun-' , ishment of tho leadors of the conspiracy .they ' require that the stamp of the blackest infamy , skull be put upon their crimes.
