The blood that
and
above Pacific'.
it flows in vein8 that swell «
dark Atlantic's strand.
It binds in one vast brotherhood, tbe trapper
With°men6who9e citiest glass themselves in
Erie's classic breast; . , __ .
And those to whom September bring. tbe
fireside's social hours
With those who see Decenas brow en-
wreathed with gorgeous flowers.
From where Columbialaaghs tdgr«t lh®
smiling western ware,
To where Potomac sighs beside the patriot
hero's grate;
And from the streaming everglades to Huron a
lordly flood, . .. .
The glory of the nation'3 past thrills through
a kindred blood.
Wherever Arnold's name is told it dyes the
cheek with shame,
And glows with pride o.cr Bunker HiI or
Moni trie's wildef fame;
And whéresoe'er above the fray the stars of
empire gleam, , ,
Upon the deck or o'er the dust it pours a
common stream.
It is a sacred legacy ye never can divide,
Nor take from village urchin, nor the son of
city pride;
Nor tbe hnnter's white halted children who
find a fruitful home,
Where nameless lakes are sparkling and
where lonely rivers roam.
Green drew his sword at Eutaw, and bleed-
ing Southern feet
Trod the march across the Delaware amid
the snow and sleet;
And lo I upon the parchment where tbe natal
record shines,
The burning page of Jefferson bears Frank-
lin's calmer lines.
Could ye divide that record bright and tear
the names apart,
That first were written boldly there with
plighted hand and heart?
Could ye erase a Hancock's name e'en with a
sabre's edge, ,
Or wash out with fraternal blood a Carroll's
double pledge?
Say, can the Sonth sell out her share in
Bunker's hoary height?
Or can the North give up her boast in York-
town's closing fight ?
Can je divide with equal hands a hermitage
of graves,
Or rend in twain the starry flag that o'er them
prondly waves?
Can ye cast lots for Vernon's soil or chaffer
'mid the gloom
That hangs its solemn folds about your com-
mon Father's tomb?
Or could ye meet around bis grave as fratri-
cidal foes,
And wake yonr burning curses o'er his pare
and calm repose ?
Ye dare cot! is the Alleganian thunder-
toned decrce,
'Tie echoed where Nevada guards the blue
and tranquil sea;
Whare tropic waves delighted clasp our flow-
ery Southern shore,
Aud where through frowning mountain-gates
Nebraska's waters roar.

Labor Contráctil.
Gen. Kiddoo, of the freedman's
bureau, has issued the following or-
der:
Galveston, November 1st, 1866.
Circular No. 23.
Contracts between planters or oth-
er employers and freedmen, in this
State, will not be considered as final-
ly settled and canceled, until they
have been arbitrated by, and an ¿q-
uitable fulfillment certified to by an
officer or. agent of this bureau. Cot-
ton an£ other products of the freed-
men, will, if necessary, be attached
and iteld on plantations, at depots,
and in ports of shipment, until a just
division is made; of the same, ami
the freedmen's portion set apart to
them. In cases where the cotton or
other products of the labor of freed-
men is taken from the jurisdiction of
one Sub. Ass't Com'r to another for
shipment or sale before such division
is made, immediate notification will
be given of the fact to the Sub. Ass't
Com'r, into whose distriet it has been
taken j as well as to these headquar-
ters, who will exercise the powers
conferred in this circular.
Par. 1, Circular No. 19, August
20, 1860, will guide Sub. Ass't Com-
missioners in casés 6f monthly wages
left unpaid at the expiration of the
contract, and will be rigidly enforc-
ed.
Freedmen must be allowed to put
their cotton into market, if they de-
sire so to do. It is the portion of
the crop in kind, and net its equiv-
alent in money, that they are enti-
tled to, and no restrictions will be
allowed on the part of their employ-
ers, nor monied equivalent taken,
unless they sell their portion in good
faith to their employers, and get for
it the highest market price.

A Mobile correspondent writes: I
laughed over a hit at Magruder once
in Texas. There was a "nigger sing-
ing" exhibition at Houston, and one
of the performers came tm the stage
in a wool wig, parted elaborately
down the middle; His follow "nig"
says: " Hey, Sambo, wat's de mat-
ter wid yer har ?" u Oh ! hush,
dare's • waeancy on Gen. Magrodar'a
staff and I'se rumia for it. All's
necessary is to part de har rite."
Adyices from Japan to August 28,
report that the town of Hankow has
been eonjpletely inundated by a
flood. Crops were destroyed, cattle
drowned, and 'thousands of persons
deprived of employment and shelter.
Forty penóos were killed by a fall-
ing wall, which the waters ,<«nder-
mined at Kwanetz¿ near Hankow.

National Tfool Grower ' Meet-
The seooád anbual mtfeifafe'-tf-' the
National Wool Growers' Association
will~b fceld fc the oity¿f Cleveland,
Ohio, on Wednesday the 14th, d^y
of November next, at one jolbftdk
m. This will be the most important
meeting held in the country for
years, whether viewed from a politi-
cal, economist, agricultural, financial,
or, perhaps, non-party political %tand
point. Wool growing befog abra^c^i
of agriculture necessary to Its suc-
cessful prosecution, every agricultu-
rist in the country is immediately
interested in its prosperity* Hence
the meeting will-represent the plant-
er, agriculturist, and, to a very coh-
siderable extent,¡the whole industrial
interest, and ais a vast majority of
the elecióré of forth Amarfea? as
also much the largest part of the
invested capital of the whole coun-
try.
ricuTture, Report of 1864, it is shown
that the capital of agriculture in
1864 wás $5,706,141,998. Capital
of manufacture and commerce #4,-
944,766,000. Investment of agri-
culture over manufactures and com-
merce, #7 61,375,668.
It w*H be observed that this state-
ment does not include California and
the late eleven rebel States, includ-
ing, however, Nebraska territory.
At page 588, same report, it is shown
in the same States and territory
there were 28,647,269 head of,sheep
valued at $154,807,466. At page
561, Report of Agriculture of 1863,
it is shown there Were in California,
in I860, 1,099,132 head of sheep.
If valued at $5 each, their worth
is '$5,495,660. The quarterly re-
port of the Commissioner for Sep-
tember 1866, ¿tows there was in the
eleven Southern States (not included
in the above,) in 1860, 4,999,777
head ot sheep, in 1866 but 4,019,736.
Less than in 1860, 990,041. 4,019,-
736 valued at $5 gives $20,048,640,
thus showing there are not less than
33,756,137. sheep in the whole coun-
try, and worth not less than $180,
351, 806, and that there are 990,041
less in the eleven Southern States
than in 1860. This is certainly not
an over estimate of the number or
value of the sheep owned in our com-
mon country.
Florida has but 6,031 sheep-, Lou*
isiana but 90,626, none of the other
States have less than 282,105. Tex-
as has 904,035 head; Tennessee
510,389. It will be observed that
there is no branch of agriculture so
universal in its application in the
whole extent of the United States ¿is.
aWr j ~ b. it«rry. .Reference to the
authorities quoted will fuHy "bear us
out in these assertions. It is shown
at page 603, report of 1864, that
there was imported in 1864, into
New York city, 56,874,128 pounds
of foreign wool, of 156,17 3,093
pounds consumed in loyal States in
1864.
If the wool manufacturers of our
country be represented at the meet-
ing, and we know of no reason why
they should not, it must be conced-
ed, whether viewed as to nnmbers or
as to wealth, there has never Been
held on this continent a more impor-
tant representation meeting. The
wool and woolen tariff bill having
been postponed by the Senate of the
United States till December next,
and the heretofore almost entire neg-
lect by Our national law makers (if
not against) of the interest of the
American agriculturist, shows that
the time has certainly arrived for
calling imperatively on the industrial
interests of the country to arise and
assert their manhood, and declare
aud keep their promise that they will
no longer be ".hewere of wood and
drawers of #ater " to other less im-
portant occupations or politicians.

Twenty-seven families of Polish
exiles lately left New York for Rich-
mond in the steamship Virginia, on
Saturday afternoon, to settle on two
thousand acres of land in Spottsyl-
vania county, Va., procured for them
through the American Emigrant Aid
and Homestead Company. They are
to pay five doUmrs an «ere for it, in
ax years. Implements, seeds, &c.,
were furnished by subscription in this

this, added to the $8,000 of interest
guarantied to the University by the

Recently a young man named
Charles Delvin, was killed on a
freight train on the Memphis and
Ohio railroad. In attempting to look
out of the window of the car, which
was running rapidly, his héad struck

killing him instantly. His parents
reside in Wisconsin. He served in
the late war as a Confederate soldier.
Harper's Weekly has a leadnig ed-

only prolong the bitterness of the
present party contest; that the peo-
ple are not prepared for it and do
not demand it; and that it would be
interpreted as an act of vengeance.

The Ocean Bottom.
Mr. Green, the famous diver, tells
singular stories of his adventures
when making search in the deep wa-
ters of the ocean. He gives some
new sketches of what he saw at the
" Silver Banks " near Hayti:
The banks of the coral on which
my divings were made are about 40
miles in length, and from 10 to 20 in
breadth. On this bank of coral is
presented to the diver one of the
most beautiful and suhlime scenes the
oj v v rvi uenela. Tne water varies
from ten to one hundred feet in depth,
and is so clear that the diver can see
from two to three hundred feet, when
submerged, and with very little ob-
struction to the sight.
The bottom, of the ocean in many
places is as smooth as a marble floor,
in others it is studded with coral col-
umns from 10 to 80 feet in diameter.
The tops of those more lofty support
a myriad of pyramidal pendants,
each forming more, giving reality to
the imaginary abode of some water
nymph. In other places the pend-
ants form arch after arch, as the di-
ver stands on the bottom of the
ocean and gazes through the deep
winding avenue; he finds they will
fill him with as sacred an awe as if
he were in some old cathedral which
had long been buried beneath old
ocean's wave. Here and there the
coral extends even to the surface of
'the water, as if the loftier columns
were towers belonging to these state-
ly temples that are now in ruins.
There were countless varieties of
diminutive trees, shrubs, and plants
in every crevice of the corals where
water had deposited the earth. They
were all of a faint hue, owing to the
pale light they received, although of
every shade, and entirely different
from any plants that I am familiar
with that vegetate upon dry land!
One in particular attracted my at-
tention. It resembled a sea fan of
immense size, of variegated colors
and most brilliant hues. The fish
that inhabit these " Silver Banks" I
found as different in kind as the scene
was varied. They were of all forms,
colors and sizes, from those of the
symmetrical goby to the globelike
sunfish; from those, of the dullest
hues to the changeable dolphin;
from the spots of the< leopard to tbe
heads of the sunbeam Y" from the
harmless minnow to the voracious
shark.
There were also fish which resem-
bled plants, and remained as fixed in
their position as a shrub, the only
power they possess being to open and
shut when in danger.: Some of them
resemble the rose in full bloom, and
are of all colors. There were the
ribbon fish, from four or five inches
to three feet in length: their eyes
A writer in Y,
thus describes Cairo:
Cairo is built as the Irishman
made his cannon; he took a hole,
you know, and.. poured Was around
it. The man wheL.made this amphi-
bious town found a hole in the mud
and then piled sand around the edges
to keep the river out, and then
stuck their houses on the piles of
sand. They are now cutting up the
big hole into eellars, and selling the
cellars as town lots to men who want
to build houses over them. This is
an accurate description of Cairo..

best terms the largest customers get The
