STONEWALL JACKSON,

[The memory of Stonewall Jackson has received few tributes more touching in simplicity and pathos than the following beautiful poem published in the .New York Citizen, of \f if

lie sleeps all quiet nnd cold Beneath the soil that gave him birth, llieu break his battle-brand in twain,

And lay it with him in the earth.

Xo more at midnight shall he urge His toilsome march mnong the pines hear upon the morning air

Ihe war-shout of his charging lines.

Cold is the eye whose meteor-gleam Flashed hope on all within its light And still the voice that, truinpet-toned,

Rang through tlic serried ranks of fight.

No more for him shall cannons park, Or tents gleam white upon the plain And where his camp-fires blazed of yore

Brown reapers laugh amid the grain.

No more above his narrow bed Shall sound the tread of marching feet, The rifle volley and the crash

Of sabers when the focrnen meet. y.

And though the winds of antumn rare And winter snow fall thick and deep Above his breast, they can not move

The quiet of his dreamless sleep.

We may not raise a marble shafl Above the heart that now is dust, But nature, like a mother fond,

Will ne'er forget her sacred trust.

\oung April, o'er his lowly mound, Shall .shake the violets from her hair And glorious June, with fevered kiss,

Shall bid tlie roses blossom there

And round about the dronine l«"« With drowsy snail come and go while west winds all the livelong day PilShall murmur dirges soft and low s.

The warrior's stormy fate is o'er, The midnight gloom hath passed away And like a glory from the East

Breaks the first light of Freedom's day!

And white-winged peace, o'er all the laud, Broods like a dove upon her nest While iron War with slaughter gorged .v

At length hath laid him down to rest.

And where we won our onward way, With fire and steel through yonder wood, I The black-bird whistles, and the quail

Gives answers to her timid brood.

et oft in dreams his fierce brigado Shall see the form th?y followed fnrffyl Still leading in the farthest van—

A landmark in tlie clouds of war!

Illllsii Hoses. !§i •The Columbus Statesman hits off the Moses question "The radical press have l'allcn into the habit of speaking of President Johnson, by way of derision, as 'Moses.' There is more pcrtincnce in this designation than most people, at first glance, will imagine. After Moscb had delivered the Children of Israel from the clutches of the Egyptians, under the guidance of God, they became dissatisfied with him—thought him a slow coach—i'alse to his pledges and promises—and thereupon "the people gathered themselves unto Aaron," and said unto him. "Up, make us gods which shall go before us for as for this Moses, the man that brought us out of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him."

Aaron took their jewelry and made them a molten calf, which they fell to worshiping. Almighty became so sorely displeased with their conduct that He would have visited swift destruction upon the whole of them had it not been for the intercession of Moses and he encountered great difficulty in inducing the people to return to tho worship of the true God. Like Moses, President Johnson, in the estimation of the radicals, was a slow coach, as false to his professions and promises, and they turned to Stevens and called to him, "Up, make us gods which shall go before us." Like Aaron, he has made them a political molten calf, which they arc now worshiping instead of the Constitution. Moses like, President Johnson is calling upon the people to abandon this false worship, and return to the worship of the Constitution, lest they shal be visited, as a punishment, with political death, as the Children of Israel would have been visited with physical and moral death, had they persisted in the worship of the molten calf that Aaron had made for them.

In the Old.Vcln.

Garrison, whose motto at the head of his paper for so many years was: "The Constitution and Union—a league with death and a covenant with hell," in response to an invitation to attend the late banquet of the "Fort Sumter Club," sent the following sentiment:

The speedy impeachment and removal of Andrew Johnson from the office he dishonors and itrays."

The President can afford to be villified by such a man. I ,.

Bombardment of Valparaiso—Full details of the Affair—Immense Mcstructlon of Properly.

Correspondence Panama Herald and Star, April 21, It is a difficult task to. write calmly and dispassionately in sight of the smoking ruins of Valparaiso, tlie finest and most prosperous city of the West Coast, destroyed iu Spanish revenge. Till the diabolical work had commenced and we saw the Spanish vessels raiuing shot and shell into the place, none, could have thought it possible to be perpetrated: we had a defenseless city—wc had not a gun to return fire, or a vessel to stand by us but the Spaniards drew close in shore, within 1,200 yards from the town, to save all trouble of aiming, and that the men of the squadron might by point blank firiug on the town before them do as much damage as possible, In every breath, foreign no less than Chiliau, feelings of indignation which words can not express are aroused by this outrage on civilization, a feeling which will be fully sympathized with by English and American men at home. From fifteen to twenty million dollars worth of property is destroyed, nearly all of which belonged to British. American, and other foreign merchants and all the commercial parts of the town, customhouses, government buildings, public offices, railway station, foreign houses which year by year had been extending and prospering, the more that the Spanish element and retarding influences were becoming less felt, have itecu crushed aud tioddenon by the hated race, which has never been anything bu.t the curse of the West Coast. A civilized world and all oppression-hating people will unite in execration of Spanish brutallity aud shame.

Hepulsed with loss and iu virtual defeat by not half ju«cr un the part of lUe allied ships as the Spanish Admiral ••ent against them at Abtao in Cbiloc, Mendez Nunez collected his whole force at Valparaiso, powerless to operate in any effective way against our Republic, to make her fall down and worship Spain aud Chili never will do it, though the last stone in the last house in her last town is blown down by ber-enemy. Chili has done nothing to be ashamed of, her alleged offenses were condoned to the satisiaction of the Spanish Minister, who resident at Santiago and witness of the matters complained of, know more about them than any other and because we will not salute the Spanish flag in in fair field and open fight have taken the Covadonga and defeated the Spaniards at Abtao, our city lies iu ruins, wrought by revenge, jpit

It is said that Mendel Nunez has re^ ceivcd orders from Madrid to destroy,

On the 31st, the morning of the day of the threatened bombardment, Her Majesty's frigates. Sutledj and Lcander, with the Devastation and store-ship Nereus, left the Bay to take safe anchorage outside the American ships also had to get out of the way, and at about 8 A. M. the enemy's vessels began to take up position over against the town. The Resolution was placed opposite the central railway station, the Villa de Madrid and Blanca 1|200 yards from the custom-house the Veneedora close in shore, to destroy dwelling-houses and the Admiral's ship Numanoia remained outside signaling orders. At 9 A. M. the Blanca .oponed fire on the custom-house, to the cry of Viva la. lieiva,

ir~Viie"ethers

followed, each se

lecting tsome- point on which to pour its Bliare' of'destruction. For nearly- three hours flxo fil was.Jc.ept up .without inter-niseionj-'at A. M. a she!! from the

Vcucedorase^fire to thebathsadjoining the Hotel dela U»iou,and the flames rapdily spread in three Streets. But the Veneedora did not desist her shot continued to rain ou that part gf the town up to the last moment of the bombardment with terrible and fatal regularity. On the other side, the custom-house took fire at 11:-15, but there was no cessation of firing from the the ships indeed the Spaniards knew only one consideration, viz., that Valparaiso had been given up to them (o wreak their vengeance on it. At 12:8 P. M. the Nuinaneia signaled to desist, and the vessels of the squadron drew off.

The people of the town, who had crowded the surrounding hills, at once rushed into town to extinguish the fire.

Such is the record of this event, which leaves us all paralyzed, many ruined, and commerce crippled for a long time. We appeal to sympathy of England and America. Wc"ear this work so begun has only begun Caldcra, Coquimbo, aud the ports of Peru will bo destroyed, all of them, except Callao, defenseless places, and which will fare worse than wc have done here. ,,

Tcople of the United States, be warned that your demagogues are again gambling for your heritages of liberty, your guarantees of prosperity, and your meeds of victory. In the awful name of God, they buy you and they sell you in the halls of your Legislature, and under the impious disguise of justice to all men, pervert the functions of lawgivers to the procurement of your abasement under the harburic 1'ect of negroes. Some of them bankrupt of a constituency of reasonable beings, would enfranchise an insensate rabble of negroes, and by controlling them, vote themselves into lifoloug power to govern, to degrade and to defy you. Others would convert tho whole land into a kingdom of hate, the reflection of their own bitterness of soul, too cowardly to punish and too malevolent to forgive. Both must have power of oppression, or loose the only solace of their remorse, their disappointment or their shame. They are said to be fanatical, believe it not.

The four days he allowed for the removal of the sick, &c. Against this every foreign representative protested in the most energetic manner. The British residents were promised the protection and interference Admiral Peuman and the English squadron.

The American Commodore, Rodgers, promptly placed his squadron for co-op-cration against Spain should the threatened bombardment be attempted, and the representative of France was equally ready to take the responsibility on his part of joining with the Americans and English to prevent the atrocity that was feared. But at the last the English Admiral drew back he said he could not interfere except diplomatically, and that British interests must look out for themselves on shore. Commodore Rodgers shrunk from undertaking active resistance to the Spanish fleet, when the British commander had reccdodforui the position he had first taken up. Earnestly and most urgently did the American Charge d'Affairs, General Kilpatrick and Commodoro Rodgers, labor to save the town, but all in vain. While this was going on time was lost to neutrals, and the day of the bombardment came on, and neutrals had still their property in the customhouse and their stores. We send for publication a copy of resolutions adopted at a general meeting of British merchants and residents relating to the conduct of Admiral Denman and the British Charge d'Affairs. These resolutions arc to appear in the newspapers in England, and will give an encouraging view to Englishmen of the sort of protection they now-a-days may expect when they prosecute their commerce in foreign ports.

desperate and monstrous usurpers of the dark ages. There is not a single fanatic in Congress. There is no Gerrit Smith, no Giddingp, no Lovejoy. There is Sumner, with his scrap-book of fraud Stevens' vivid in every motion and look of his contemptuous command to an associate, "to hell with your conscience Fessenden, the restive, envious, but compulsory follower of Sumner Wade, the blasphemous and brutal, who dares to insult the prayers of Christians by thanking their God, in open Senate, for the impending death of fellow Senators. Such arc examjjlcs of the "fanatics." As well class the cold but delusive dexterity of the midnight gaming board, with the impassioned but preposterous earnestness of the mourner's bench, as the soulless ratiocination of tlieso men's politics with the honest but unreasonable fervor of the John Browns, the Giddingses, and the Lovejoys of a former day.

There can not now be abolitionists, because there is nothing to abolish. This extraordinary pro-negro movement, conducted iu the now obseletc, but still stirring language of the .old agitators—iu the splendid imagery and ravishing sentiment of universal freedom—tho very poetry of politics in all ages—is uothing iu the world but fraud—a fraud upon the negroes, who arc never to have freedom in the suffrage proposed for them a fraud upon the white men who make the constituencies of those who persuade them to believe that justicc is the motive a fraud upon that noble soldiery who pledged, in tho lightning and storm of battle, even to the enemy before them, by every flash of their guns, the perpetuation of the Constitution of their fathers, the indissolubility of fraternal bonds, and the dignity of the Anglo-Saxon race and a fraud upon mankind who, throughout the world, are called to witness and conjured to believe that philanthropy and justice arc the public objccts of such action.

This stupendious fraud is practised upon the public to cover up a mere scheme for preserving the reins of power in the hands of a junto, who proceed upon two postulates, viz: (1). Self-government is a failure, and the strongest wills must inevitably rule: (2). We have the power now, and must keep it all hazards. Prudence, indeed ., would prevent them from undertaking so gigantic and desperate a crime, even for the reward of unlimited tyranny, as deposing tho President, seizing tho executive departments, and inaugurating a provisional government, under which a constitution fitted to their convictions and objects would be introduced to supplant tho Republic-, but it isin consonance- with all history and acknowledged human nature, that powerful chiefs would be driven to such a reyolt byan impend*ngf loss of control, if they had really despaired of popular lib-

erty. It is well known that politicians of this class habitually expose that despair in colloquial discourse.

But there is a class—the despicable slaves of these strong-willed projectors of our abasement—against whom we, as apeople, could notexaggerate ourcontempt. \Y ithout haviug^ any power to relinquish, and without believing that it is no use-to* save the Constitution, it would bo difficult to account for their motives iu aiding,"* without reward and without credit, what they must know to be a conspiracy against the liberties of their .constituents, but for' their obvious and hourly manifestations of sheer meanness of spirit. That they reluct to follow such distinctly culpable leaders i3 noisy of proof in their expostulations, their entreaties, their neverending explanations, disclaimers, &c.,publicly made, and more strikingly still in the private objurgation of t£e whole class in conference, iu society, on tfiu street, at hotels, through the press, and wherever men arc accustomed to be voluble in defining their peculiar circurflstaiii: ccs and motives, to qualify cowardice for the public tolcrauce." But. again and again the sardonic rod of Stevens, oc-tbe silken lash of Sumner,- is shaken with confident .and justifiable .audacity, aver" their heads, never idly, but always opportunely, when they cower into tlie silence and subserviency which befit the weak when menaced iu the intolerable gleam of a master's eye. Such men visit the "other^ end of the avenue," and, abashed by tho mute but piercing look of ]iim vfho isf compelled to search ^ut the 'nerve of iriends of tho Constitution, go away exalted with the resolution of manliness, and big with a revived sense of the power'1 and lavor of the people, only to wilt inter weakucss and moral obtuseness when the master spirits of the Capitol dart their

The conductor politely informed'that by the time the car got to Four-and-a-half street there would be scats, as most of the passengers were bound to Doctor Sunderland's Church but for the present, there was no room.

Rktukn of Mr. Dodd.—Harrison II. Dodd, familiarly known ns "Dick" Dodd, who was arrested in the fall of 186-1 for conspiracy and treason, and during his trial before a military commission escaped from his place of confinement in tho postoffice building, returned from Canada ou Saturday evening last. It will be recollected that at tho time of his arrest 51 r. Dodd expressed his entire willingness to be tried for the charges alleged against him by a civil tribunal, but believing his ease would not be fairly adjudicated by an illegal military commission, organized to convict, he concluded to take a change of venue. We understand that Mr.Dodd announces that his purpose in returning at this time is to bring to a termination the charges upon which he was arrested by military authority, and that he took the earliest opportunity to visit Indianapolis after the United States Supreme Court had decided in the cases of Milligan and others, who were arraigned upon similar charges, that military commissions or courts had no jurisdiction in such. cases. Mr. Dodd's return is entirely voluntary on his part, and we presume his near relatives in this city were unadvisod of his intention in that regard.—Indianapolis Herald. '514
