III F. PROMI8KD LAND.

Heyond the clouds that float as dark Across our brooding skies, Beyond the prow of out-bound bark,

Some Land of Promise lies The present shrouds it like dream. And shnts it from our sight Iih stars that grandly flash and gleam.

Crown not our sombre Night.

We dream of groves of plumey palm. And rivers cool and sweet Of hills that guard, in grandeur caltn,

The vallies at their feet: O crested waves that kiss the sand Which girds the far off shore, I Bring ye no tidings from this lasd

We seek for, evermore?

O heart abide! The lionrs must wane, To-morrow's night muet come: The days must fall like ripened grain

Before the Harvest-Home The soul must see across Life's years. That stand like sbronded ghosts. The garnered sheaves of toil and ar

Borne home by victor-host's.

.'••..•Then will the mists rise up—-aud lo: Its vallies greet our sight We see the hills that roseate glow.

In Life's transfigured light We then at last, with joyful leet. Shall tread the mystic strand. Where souls shall gather joys replete

Within the Promised Land. M. fl. K.

Tm remnant of the Fenian funds arising from voluntary contributions and from proceeds of the sales of the bonds of the Irish Republic, amounting to 870,000, is now in the hands of receivers appointed by the Courts and is awaiting the action of the New York Legislature. What the entire contributions amounted to will probably never be known, but they probably reached near half .^ million of dollars. ,f

lJrownlow has written one of his pretty letters. In it he says: "In the event that the General Assembly shall refuse to adopt the Fifteenth Amendment, which I don't believe, and shall elect a United States Senator friendly to the government and the administration, my actions in the premises shall be determined by my convictions of duty." In any other event, the inference is, the Senator intends to let duty slide.

BOUTWELL is after the lazy clerks as well as the speculators. Fifteen clerks in the Sixth Auditor's office, says a late telegram, have suffered deductions from their pay for lost time, arriving late or leaving before the hour for closing business, during the month of August, It is understood that deductions are to be made in like manner in other offices of the Treasury Department. We have seen it stated that Secretary Boutwell is saving Uncle Sam a million a year in clerk hire.

Tin Crawfordsville Journal reports the largest potato yield we have yet heard of. It states that "George Heckathorn dug two hundred and twelve pounds of potatoes, Early Hose variety, from one pound planted. The potatoes were dug on the 20th day of August. The hills covered two hundred and fifty square feet of ground." That beats Mr. Reagan, of Hendricks county. We trust he is as accurate and reliable a man, for such stories require good backing.—Indianapolis Journal.

We can assure the Journal that Mr. Heckathorn is as accurate and reliable a man as can be found either in this or Hendricks county.

IT seems that the Ten-Forty bonds have now become the favorites among financial menu Since the Secretary of the Treasury gave permission to the national banks to withdraw Five-1 wenties placed as security, and replace them by Ten Forties, the value of the latter has been steadily increasing, until now they are more valuable than the Five-Twen-ties. Accordingly, bankers are now applying to withdraw Ten-Forties and substitute for them the very bonds they took out but a few weeks ago. On Saturday, the U. S. Treasurer re oeived $370,000 in Five-twenty bond* for exchange.

DKATir OF KKCRKTAKY BAWHKS" Hon. John A. Rawlins, Secretary War, died at the residence of Gen. Giles A. Smith, in Washington City, on Monday afternoon last at 1 o'clock. The feeling ot regret at the I death of Secretary Rawlins will be i! more than ordinarily sincere, for it was the good fortune of but few publie men to have so many warmly attached friends, and so few enemies,

The Indiasiapolis Journal in speaking of his death, gives the following., short sketch, which will doubtless be I read with much interest by our readers:

At the opening of the war Mr. Rawlins was a practicing lawyer at Galena, Illinois, a Democrat in political belief, but a lover of his country and a defender of the Faith. The shot fired on Fort Sumpter severed the chains of party which bound him, and he raised a company of volunteers for the regiment to whose command Ulysses S. Grant was assigned. By request of the Colonel, Rawlins was made Adjutant of the regiment, a confidential relation between the two that was maintained all through the war. When Grant was made a General, Rawlins was assigned to duty as his Adjutant, and afterwards as his Chief of Staff, following him in that position through the successive grades of Brigadier, Major and Lieutenant General, and General of the Army.

When Grant assumed the duty of General, Rawlins removed to Washington City, at which time commenced an acquaintance with its people, both citizens and dwellers, which made hi in socially one of the most popular men in any Department of the Government. The services of General Rawlins during the war are well known to a country which has so honored his chief. Just previous to the Chicago Convention, when there was a great desire to know the position of General Grant upon the questions of public interest, General Rawlins made a speech at Galena, Illinois, which was accepted as a foreshadowing of Grant's policj', if elected President. It made the future Chief Magistrate a sound and reliable Republican, besides stamping its author as a thinker of ability in civil affairs, no less than a brilliant actor in military movements.

Upon the accession of Grant to the Presidency, General Rawlins was named as Secretary, of War, for which position he was unanimously confirmed by the Senate. Although very seriously affected by consumption, the new Secretary applied himself zealously to the details of his department, and up to the time of hi3 death was an assiduous devotee to business. His administration of the war office was eminently satisfactory, and he drew to himself a larger circle of admirers and personal friends, probably than any other Minister of the Cabinet. He died a member of the Methodist Church, a trusted friend, an honored soldier, a true patriot, and an honest man. More than this could no man be. His life will be remembered gratefully by his country, and his death in the veryprime of manhood universally regretted for, while a Republican in politics, he was not so prominent a partisan as to call down upon himself even the animosity of political opponents.

Tbe 'ft'ennowttce Franils. In 1867 the aggregate vote for Governor in Tennessee was 97,032. At the late election 175,078 votes were cast. In November last, Gen eral Grant received 56,757 votes, and Colonel Stokes, at the last election, 54,874. These figures tell the whole story of the immense iniquity by which Senter's election was achieved, for the law regulating the franchise remained without material change.

This result was not accomplished, however, by fraudulent registering aione. Corrupt and monstrous as was the violation of the law in that manner by the tools of Governor Senter, and with his connivance, these political swindlers were not content to rest here. By voting early and often, by disregarding the Regristry law, by ballot-stuffing or otherwise, tens of thousands of votes were returned in: excess 'the tcrtM number registered In fifty-iiine counties frbm which we have the details—about two thjrda of the entire State—the excess of votes over the nvimber of voter registered i? 31,513.-— Cincinnati Chronicle.
