' BY GEORGE cOornn.
Since I have seen my darling May
It seems a. weary while;
But war will end and then no more
‘ ‘ I’ll march in single file.
Friend Tom you never saw my love,
Or else you’d, never cease
To sing her praise ; for, oh, she is
A splendid little piece !— ,
Yéu would avow, all other maids,
She throws quite in the shade,
Ifyou could only see her once
Come out on dress—phrade.
Her downy checks are rosy red,
(Her hands are small and white,
Her eyes are blue,—the color, Tom,
For which I’ll ever fight !
Surrender, was the word with me,
Before such lovely charms ; ,
And when we marchedyou should have seen
How she presented arms !
Ah l-wheu we wed, I pray that Fate
Forlieiy'sake will be kind,
Audi 1: tbe‘ranks of happiness

For,'§i‘om, you know, old Care sometimes
Plays many a wanton trick;
And sends his imps—an awkward squad—
Oft on the double-quick. ‘
' But, then, a noble woman’s lovel—
Though every hopebe gone, .
Where will you look for such reserve
' As this to rally on ?
For Minor ills, why We will learn
To fight them asthey come ; ‘
I’m sure I wouldn’t mind at all,
A little charge at home l

May’s head upon my breast,—
To bide in peace till Captain Death

Special Correspondence of the-
Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 501.1865, .
While the cities in the north hayei'rcturu-
ed to their normal condition, Washington
still wears everywhere the drapery ’of woe
which was adopted when our beloved Presi-
dent wa's Slain. On all the houses from base-
ment to roof hang the gloomy emblems fasta
"cued above the door and around almost evf
cry window or Department building, hotel,
store and private house, in as great p'rofhsioni
as on the week after the tragedy" So univer-
sal are these signs of mourning that they
have no significance as an expreSsion of in-
dividual sentiment, the crepe and eambric
increasing in costliness and size in an inverse
ratio to the loyalty of the mourner who oc-
cupies the premises. During the week suc-
ceeding the assassination, an utterpanic pre-
vailed here; everybody felt apprehensionsof
arior ofwhich the disloyal were to be ‘ ,9
victims; the air was heavy with foreshad-
all the‘ traitors thrust out the ostentatious
symbols, as hypocrites wore the charmed
badge at StBartholomew’s. And so it lisp;-
pcned that you may now, six weeks after
that dreadful day, walk whole blocks on al-
most every street of the capital, and find no
house or store that is not draped; and so it
happens that crocodile tears have passed cur-
rent as the real jewelry of sorrow, and all
the avenues are dark to-day with black cam-
bric—ulways black with no intermixture of
white,—swiuging gracefully above the doors
of mansions that ought long ago to have been
confiscated, squirming along the front of grog
shops kept by secessionisfs where J efi Davis
has been remembered in convivial gin often-
ci- than any other man, or dangling straight
down from the upper windows of brothels
where treason and vice have always reigned
supreme. A few original abolitionisls here,
whose' grief at the Presidents death was
most profound have undertaken from the
first and bear witness against this terrible
mockery, by putting no mourning on their
houses. The absence of any outward signs
of sorrow, is now about the only way to as-
certain in Washington where traitors do not
live. . .
A new and better policy for the Indians
is projected, and if the excellent purposes of
Secretary Harlan are not overcome, it will
be mail'e’ practical. It is to place all the In-
dians affairs into the-hands at a competent
Quaker, to be appointed commissioner in
place of Mr. Dole, present incumbent. The
plan needs no advocacy; its desirablenesa,
theblessings would probably follow its
adoption are so ciently apparent.
The conspiracy Trials drag toward their
close. The vigilance over. the prisoners and
. the Court Room which was at first exercised,
is now entirely withdrawn. Formerly visit-
ors were questioned and had to get passes,
now they are passedup with a rush, nobody
beinglooked at or stopped at all. They ex-
pect that Spengler, D. Mudd and Sam Arnold
will be found guilty and sentenced to death.
The last three were accessory in a degree but
will not be held guilty of the final result.
The bogus Presidentis still in the case-
ows of‘eminent peril; and then it was that .
ment at Fortress Monroe, and will remain
there for ten days or two weeks. Judge
Carter,formerly of Richester I believe, but
late of Ohio, will pr‘dbably try the eminent
criminal, as he is perfectly willing to do so,
and the President has reversed his that de-
cision to have the trial before the Supreme
Court not deeming it desirable to give Davis
so‘much prominence, or permit him to take
leave of earth with such melotdramatic sur-
roundings. Judge Carter tries most of the
prominent criminals of the District, and has
his hand in. He is a. large, powerful man,
with an immense head and a. face well seam-
ed and furrowed with the anxieties of con-
stunt public life. He is very decided and
sometimes almost violent, On the Bench, and
cannot be trified with by witnesses 01" law-
yers He is afflicted with a frightful stam-
awkward sometimes, but Which gives great
emphasis to what he says—when he says it.
He stutter-s so badly that when he writes his
name he puts two t-t‘s‘ in it, but he wont hes-
itateinuch to sentence J eff. Davis.

West India Correspondence.
Sr. DOMINGO Crrr, May 20, 1865.
I addressed you from St. Thomas on the
17th ultimo. I arrived here on the 23d, and
took up my old quarters at the Convent l’ho-
tel du Commercio. ~
The Dominican Republic is revived again
and acknowledged. Another chapter must
be added to the history of the colored race,
and another to their cause. The mom Cas-
tilian flag, once the terror of all Europe, has
been humbled by the descendants of the first
victims to Spanish, avarice ~and tyranny,-
brought from their natiVe country and en-
slaved here 350 years ago. Relributive jus-
tice in the history of nations has generally
been slow—frequently passing many genera-
tions before it has been avenged—but none
the less sure. Could some prophet'have as-
sured the poor creatures who endured the
horrors of the first “ middle passage” in the,
beginning of the 16th century, to initiate sla-
in the 19th century would avenge their
wrongs and possess themselves of the land,
for their inheritance, it would have been a
consoling thought for them under their tri-
als. -
The history of this part of the Island
should not be confounded with that of the
French par-t, now the Haytain Republic. It
was here that slavery was first introduced in
America, soon after its discovery; and it was
continued here more than 20 years after the
insurrection and independence of Hayri—
The Haytians occupied the whole Island
from 1822 to 1844; and one of their first
acts was to liberate the slaves here.
But what a triumph for this hitherto
friendless people, numbering less than 200,-
000 souls, unskilled in the arts of war,
and with scarcely. any material for its pur-
Suits, they defy the proudest and once the
most powerful nations of Europe; with
Colonies on each side containing two mil-
. lions of inhabitants to assist them; and this
too after they had had quiet possession of
the Island more than two years. Never did
any people engage in such a task with
keener perceptions of the righteousness of
their cause, and of their ability to accom-
plish it unaided. They seemed to under-
stand at the commencement, that if they
could not regain their independence without
foreign aid, they were unworthy ’ to be free.
And never did any monarc ' “yield to the
force of circumstances” with so much re-
agmce. It was not until the Queen saw
that she was alienating her \people in Cuba
and Port Rico, and reduced her credit and
finances so low that she was obliged to give
up a portion of her own property to main-
tain her Government, di 1 she yield and con-
sent to the “abandonment," (as they are
pleased to term it,) of St. Domingo. When
the final evacuation of this city will take
place, is as yet uncertain. It is said the or-
der is already here; and there are evident

It cannot be said that the Dominicans
have conquered the Spaniards, for with the
exception of the battle of Santiago, in Au-
gust 1863, in which the Dominicans were
victorious, there ‘ has been no other
pitched battle; The Dominicans pursued
a wiser and more prudent course; keeping
the Spaniards within their fortifications on
the sea-board, and waiting the slow but sure
process of exhaustion. Patience and for-
bearance are remarkable traits in the char:
actor of the colored race, and never Were
they put to "a stronger test than during this
war. On the taking of Santiago, they capi
lured about 1,000 Spaniards, and the Span-'f
iards, before and subsequently, captured"
nearly an equal numbur of the colored peo-
ple. These they treated as criminals, and
put them in, the chain-gangs to work on 1the
roads and publidwérks in Cuba and Porto
Rico, If ever the barbarous rules or" war
justified retaliation, it surely would have
done so in this case But that 'the Domini-
cans pursued the wisest course for their coun-
try’s good, and to attain its independence,
by treating their captives as prisoners of war,‘
none can deny. Since my arrival hereI
have met some of the Spanish oflicers who
were prisoners in the hands of the Domini-
cans twenty mOnths, but have heard no com;
plaint of unkind treatment. _ ‘
Some anxiety will be felt in the United
States for the future of this restored Repub-
lic, and what the probabilities are of a good
and permanent Government being establish-
ed. Thei‘r/historydates from the year 1844,
and for so short a period, they have,had
many trials and changes. But fortunately,
the three chief causes of her troubles have
been removed; and it is but reasonable to
hope that a people, who halve shown so
much skill, patience and perseverance in rid-
lings it should not be either myrrh or' 1:1:-

these assembled myriads discern some traits
of nobleuess,gentility,breeding,which hitherto
escaped the common observation,—some in-
timations, as it were, of wisdom, valor, piety,
and so forth. My sight dazzles; and if I am
not deceived by the too familliar pressure of
this strange neckcloth that envelopes it my
countenance gives out lambent glories. For
point of expression!—-the posture so conven-
ient l—the head never shifting quiescent in
a sort of natural frame! But these amm'
ding themselves of their oppressors, will be
able to govern themselves, now that they are
free. ' The Emperor Solongue, who attempt-
ed to subdue the country, has been de-‘
throned, and a Government established fa-
vorable to them. Santa Anna, their last
President, who sold his country, is dead; f
'and Baez, his predecessor, and competitor
for the Presidency, is in Europe; and the po-
will therefore commence with new men ;
andif they have wisdom to steer clear of
the shoals that have wrecked their predeces-
sors, a new era will dawn upon this rich, but
hitherto unfortunate Island. _
The provisional President, P. A. Pimen-
lal, chosen by the National Convention, is
very popular with his countrymen, and has
the reputation of being peculiarly qualified
to heal their tlissensions, restore order, and
establish a Government. One of the first
decrees of thetfnnvention was religious tol-
erutiou, which they had enjoyed before, and
which was guaranteed to them by the treaty
of annexation to Spain. They Were howev-
er, suun, deprived of it by the Arch Bishop
sent out from I Spain, on the plea that the
Ecclesiastical authorities not havaing been
emistilted in the matter, they were not bound
by it, and could not consent to the exercise
of any foreign heresz'es in the possessions of
her most Catholic Majesl y.
, I have again experienced, as I have often
done before here, one of those trying peri-
ods of anxiety and suspense, in the startling
events in the history of our Country the last
three years. On the 28th ult, a report was
circulated here that Mr. Lincoln and Mr.
Seward had been assassinated. It had been
telegraphed from Havna. to St. J ago do Cuba,
and taken from there to Porto Rico by steam-
er, and brought here by another steamer.—
No place, or time was named when it was
committed, and although it secmedimproba-
ble such areport should get abroad without
some foundation in fact, I could not, never-
theless believe so foul a deed would blot the
proud history of our country. One long
week elapsed before anything more was
known, when by ‘the arrival of asteamer
from Havana, I got a fi 10 of Spanish pa-
pers, giving the particulars from the time of
the assassination to the funeral.
In my next I hope to be able to give you
an account of the exit'of‘ the Spaniards from
thiscity, and the entrance of. the Dominican
authorities. PAISANO _

Reflections in the Plum-y.-
. BY CHARLES LAMB.
'bout the year 18--, one B d, a re-
clable London Merchant, (since dead),
stood in the pillory for some alleged fraud
upon the revenue. Among his papers were
feiind the following “Reflections," which we
have obtained by favor of our friend Elia,
who knew him well, and had heard him de-
scribe the train of his feelings, upon that try-
ing occasion almost in words of the
manuscript. Elia speaks of him asa man
(Willi the exception of the pcccadillo, afore-
said) of singular integrity in all his private
dealings, possassing great suavity of man-
ner, with a certain turn for humor. As our
object is to present human nature under ev-
ery possible circumstances we do not think
we shall sully our pages by inserting if.—
