‘ Double, double, toll and trouble,
Fire, burn, and cauldron bubble.
Hand of treason, racking red,
Poison-fang of Copperhead,
Lip and tongue of perjured Lee,
Bitter tear of refugee,
Prayer of Wirz and curse of slave,
Blossom from a martyr’s grave,
Rod of “Moses,” which he lost,
When he pardoned Pharaoh’s host,
Skull fl-om Yankee corpse o'er-thrown,
Finger-rings fi-om Yankee bone,
Toombs’s whip and Wise's sneer,
And a sigh from Dostie’s bier,
Seasoned with guerrilla’s oath.

The Truth.
BY J OIL BEN TON.
An urrowy shaft of lightning flame,
Forth from unlettered lips it came ;
Winds bore it, and the songs 'of birds ; .
It clove its way in burning words,
And. on a holy mission sent,
Through language, and lands it went.
Some heard it but they did not heed,
Some welcomed and performed it: deed,
Some fought it and were stricken dumb,
They know not what a power had come,
And struggling to escape the light,
Were crushed by its mistlels might.
An aureole in Tam-E's fair crown.
It smote the sturdiest foemen down ;
No arts, nor arms, nor craft, nor force
Avalled to check its onward course. '
It barbed the hero's scorn of wrong,
The poet shaped it in his song ; '
- It n'erved the speaker on the stage,
With it the author warmed his page,
And hoary error shrank away,
7‘ , ‘ ‘ and blinded by its try.
0, spark from Heaven! touched by thy light
The furthest hill,with day are bright ;
New forms of love and beauty rise,
‘ New splendor: tint the arching skies,
The ancient wrongs that vex us cease,
We feel the thousand years of pea'cej
4‘.-.
From the Argosy.
Autumn Tourists.
They were.r0wing over a summer lake,
A lake deep and blue without a car],
Save just the ripple the ones would make,
And the shorewsrd streak of pearl.
High over the water the mountains rise,
Deep under the water the mountains fall ;
You may fathom the depths and mete the skies,
But the heart is deeper than all.
Some one said “we shall miss you so,
Robin. when you are away so far. I”
And he said, with a smile, “It is hard to go,
But things must be as they are.”
“He can smile, so will 1,” she thought,
With her rosy fingers over the brink ;
“ But 0 1 some lessons are hard to be taught ;
Some cups are bitter to drink. ‘
“Thetime that is past, like yonder shore,
Grows fainter and fainter under our sight ; a
God I" she prayed, “if I see him no more,
Help me to bear it aright l" .
. She groaned to herself, “I must look in his eyes,

Then go alone ’neath the pitlless skies,
When the boat has touched the strand.”
“Be a man and care as little as she I"
Thought he, as they neared the thriller shore ;
“Love is not made for fellows like me,
So farewell for evermore.” ,
“A pleasant time it has been," he said ;
“I wlsb we could have it over again."
“Ay,” all bitterly murmured her heart,
“For pleasure is kin“ pain I”
“We see people better in foreign lands,
Perhaps the fogs are too thickin our own,”
She said, frankly giving him both her hands,
Not a touch of pain in her tone.
Then as the shore grated underthe keel,
She said, as lightly stepped fi'om the boat,
“How real m solid the pebbles feel
After all one’s visions afloat."

The whitetme glistened and glowed in the‘llght
And the children gathered to gaze, '
And the sun poured down with a pitlless might,
As they went their several ways: .
Stunning of eyes and Waving ofhands,
And the trifles that make or mar—
These must happen in all the lands,
Andgthlngs must be as they are.

7 West India Correspondence.
SANTO DOMINGO CITY, JULY 10th, 1866.
A friend informs me that some of my comments,
published sometime since, upon the state of religion
in Spain and Spanish America, and the depravity of
the Catholic clergy in those countries, have given of-
fense to some of the over-sensitive members of that
church in the U. S. My remarks have generally been
confined to what has been under my own observation.
That it should be mortifying to some of that denom-
ination to hear how fbr their brethren there had dc-
parted fi'om the true faith, I can understand, but
that it should move them to a public manifestation of
their displeasure, I never expected; and can only say
that it causes more surprise than regret. Happily,
the time has gone by when the discussion of religious
topics, or comments upon the doings of the clergy, ,
can be stifled by intimidation or threats, even in Cath-
olic Spain I have gefierally found the intelligent por-
tion of the laity in the many Spanish American coun-
tries I. have visited, much more severe in their criti-
cisms upon the deplorable state of religion, and the
any Protestant, or I should not feel so much at liberty
to write publicly upon the subject. The Catholic
press in Chili three years ago,wcre so loud and so full
of condemnation of the priests for their seductive pa-
geant, got up in commemoration of the “Immaculate
conception," and which led to the destruction of the
church in Santiago by fire, in which over two thous-
and women and children perished, and their conduct
on that occasion, that they left little for the Protes-
tant press in other countries to add. If the Roman
Catholic clergy in the U. S. would themselves take
up the subject of reform in those countries, and advo-
cate the same religious hecdom everywhere which
they enjoy in the U. 3., they would confer a great
blessing upon their brethren there; do much to re-
store their religion -to its ancient mith, and make
their worship acceptable to map as well as women
and children ; and also do something towards hater-
nizlng Catholics and Protestants. Unfortunately the
Pope of Rome still adheres to antiquated and pre-
sumptuous dogmas of “Supremacy" and “infirllibili-
ty,”and religious intolerance where he has the power
or influence to enforce it ; and thus, not only pro-
vokcs discussion, but makes it the duty of every Prot-
estant to continue to protest against suchpreten-
sions ; to point out, in public and private, what they
conceive to be the errors of that church, and the evil
consequences of their system of exclusiveness. Hav-
ing passed many years of my life visiting and residing
in Catholic countries, and experienced some of the
privations of their intolerant system, and witnessed
the sophistrles of the clergy there, I feel that I have
thus acquired a right to speak and write upon the
subject. and I shall continue to do so here, and there
and everywhere, as occasion Offers ; and to contrast
it with the freedom and the privileges they enjoy in
the U. S. ; for it is no less a sin and a wrong against
those countries than against me, and those who
ternational law, that no nation has a right to close
its doors against the subjects of another ; and the
time is probably not far distant, when there will be
no more restriction anywhere in the exercise of the
natural and inherent right of every one to worship
God according to the dictates of their own conscience
wherever they may happen to be. It is an encoura-
ging thought that, while so many countries have been
gained over to religious freedom, not one has ever
been restored to papal domination, excepting the four
years rule of Spain over this country, and it was the
prOhlbition of Protestant worship by a special ban,
under severe penalties, that first amused the Domini-
cans to resistance to Spanish rule. Although chiefly
Catholics, they saw and felt the gross injustice in de-
prlvlng‘Protestants of rights which they had enjoyed
forty years, and which had been solemnly guar-
anteed t9 them in the treaty of annexation, which
said : “Every one shall enjoy the same rights and
privilgg'es they had enjoyed under the Government of
the Republic." To attempt to maintain now against
the teachings of so many eminent Divines in Europe
and America, that only those who depart in the catho-
lic faith arc‘admltted into Heaven, is very unchnri-
table, and too preposterous to admit of argument,- I
sincerely hope these remarks may be received with
disclaim all thought or intention of wounding the sen-
sibilities of any member Of the Catholic church, for
among them I count many of my warmest and best
friends. Ihave ever been in the habit of speaking as
plain as I write, even to the clergy, blit_I have never
yet given ofi'ence to any in so doing.
Pasando s alguna cosa mp5 agradable. I will relate
some of my observations and reflections upon a town
in the mountains, west of the Hayna river, where I
was enrapturcd with the beauty of the scenery, and
the splendor, variety, and luxuriance of the vegeta-
tion in that well watered and fertile district. It
comes nearer to “Paradise on Earth” than any coun-
try I have" ever visited. I was twelve days without
tasting or seeing wheat bread, but they have so many
wholesome and palatable substitutes that I did not
there seem to be independent of the outside world
for everything that nature requires for comfort, ex-
cept the trifle required for the little clothing the cli-
mate renders necessary. In fact they seem to be liv-
ing almost in the state‘of primeval innocence of our
first parents; and likewiCalmost exempt from the
penalty inflicted upon their children, that they should
“eat their bread by the sweat of their brow.” They
raise their own cattle, hogs and poultry, with the
least possible care, without houses, shelters, or enclo-
sures for them.‘ The “Conuco’s"* furnish them with
corn, rice, sweet potatoes, yams, plantalns, bananas,
coffee, tobacco, and various garden vegetables. The
leaves of several trees makelm agreeable substitute
for tea ; the bees furnish them with honey for sweet-
ening, and wax for their candles , with no other .
trouble than gathering it in the forests. Great quan-
tities of wax are likewise gathered for export. Na-
ture has been so indulgent to them, and the climate
so fascinating, they seem to have no thought or care
of what is being done elsewhere in the world, but
pass much of their time in mirthfnl, bappyiguorance,
and indolence. They appear very cheerful and con-
tented, end are patterns of kindness and hospitality.
This is what was called “the gold region" in the ear—
ly history of the country, and is so marked on the old
maps. It was chiefly the gold found there that fur-
nlshed the means to build the immense number of
churches, convents and other public buildings in this
city, besides sending enormous sums to Spain. The
fbmous ingot of gold, worth $3,600, was found here in
1501. Gold was collected in such quantities that an
establishment was erected for assaying and coining,
the ruins of which are still to be seen; as well also
those of the fort built by Columbus. Occasionally
small smorints are now brought in by the poor peo-
ple residing there, found accidentally it would seem, .
as I do not hear of any one ever searching for it.
That there are still great quantities there seems
probable, as there was never any systematic mining
done. But the vast copper region of fifteen to twen-
ty miles square, below the gold region, interested
me most, as there was great wealth visible, and
could be traced, the same veins for miles, sometimes
hum one side of the hill to the other, and to the or
poslte hill. '
Andthei peculiar feature of this highly interesting
country is the evidence almost everywhere visible,
that it was once the bed of the ocean, or at least far
below its surface. I found upon the mountains
three thousand feet above the level of the sea, con-
glomerate masses of sand, pebble and sea shells, and
immense ledges of coral three and four hundred feet
thick. The wall around the city and most of the
buildings in it, are built of massive stone or coral
quarried in the immediate vicinity. Wherever it is
‘broken massive shells are to be seen. Many of my
leisure hours have been passed among the ruins of
the convents and churches here, breaking 06 pieces
from the blocks of stone to see the countless variety
of fossil shells deposited there. In contem-
plation, the mind involuntarily wanders and
speculates upon these strange facts, and how to
reconcile them with the mosaic chronology. How
and when did this great change in the earth‘s surface
take place 9 Was it the work of the “third day“.
when God said fflet the waters under the heaven be
gathered together unto one place, and let the dry
land appear?" If so, then how could that have been
the “beginning” in which “God created the heaven
and the earth.“ Certain it is that either the earth
existed before that beginning in which God is repre-
sented to have created it, although perhaps “without
form and void,” or else the mosaic chronology is en-
tirely wrong as to the date of the “creation," and
that this great change took place thousands of years
afterwards. Nature has indeed been very charyin
enlightening us on these points ; and revelation, _
while it speaks with no uncertain voice in that solemn
declaration: “In the beginning God created the heav-
,en and the earth," human curiosity is not satisfied,
but craves for further knowledge, and would fain
know more of that “beginning.” The sages of mod-
ern times have felt their way. backward towards the

infancy of Old Time, and have reconed up their
myriads of years. . Astronomers not satisfied with
proving our broad earth to be a globe, to the utter
astonishment and dismay of the wise men when pro-
mulgated, reduced it to a mote in the sun beam com-
pared to other worlds, and geology teaches us that
the human race is of mushroom growth compared to
its vast antiquity. The strata of bones of unknown
animals that have been found, with none of the hu-
manspecies, gives currency to the notions 01‘ scale,
that the earth was formerly inhabited by mamoths
and what not, but not by man until the mosaic peri-
od. Since the era of navigation in the tropical 'seas,
but more especially since the discovery of America,
the nature of the coral has been studied and the
changes produced by its growth attentively noted. It
is known to be the work of an insect, and so slow in
its operation that harbors that have been formed by it
like Pcrnambuco and the entrance to this river, have
only shallowed three or four feet in as many centu-
ries. When, therefore, we see such vast coral ledges
above the sea, we have undoubted evidence that they
have been thousands of years below its surface. And
another fact becomes interesting here, too, which is
that whether that great and permanent’change in the
earth’s surface was the one which God commanded to
be made on the “third day,” or at some subsequent
period, there is positive evidence that each portion
of the globe was in the same zone as now, and sub-
ject to like influences of heat and cold. Of all the
fossil substances found in different parts of the
earth, we never hear of any which are not natives of
the zone in which they are found. Humiliating and
perplexing as these teachings are, showing us our in-
significance compared to the Great Architect, with
whom ‘.‘a thousand years are as one day,” and the
utter impossibility of“ arriving at any definite conclu-
sion, we still seek for that which so eludes our
search, and strive to ascertain when and by what
manner of process the universe was built, as though
that were an afi‘air of the least consequence to us
“creatures of a day."
Although so far removed from the scenes of politi-
cal strife, I have been an attentive observer of all
that is passing in our country ; and no one in your
midst rejoiced more than I did at the result of the
late Senatorial contest in‘ our State. Not alone for
the peculiar fitness of the one selected to represent
the State in- the higher branch of the National Legis-
lature, but for his determiation “to see the grave
questions solved which have arisen since the over-
throw of the Rebellion, in accordance with the axi-
oms of the Declaration of Independence.” Of what
avail would be the act abolishing slavery, if the
late slave overseers have the power (for they manifest
too plainly they have still the disposition) to enact
State laws and select judges, and thus deprive them
of all the essentials of freedom.
This country is perfectly quiet throughout, and the
long interregnum in the Chief Magistraty will, I
think, he profitably spent in reconciling all difi‘erem
ccs and selecting the right man.

the sultry days not having commenced. We
had written to a friend who resides in the
valley, requestitg him to engage rooms at
the hotel for our whole party. But no soon-
er had the brakeman announced at the car
door, “Pilot Knob," than our friend was sha-
king hands with us, and telling us that the
people of Ironton could not think' of trust-
ing us to the poor accommodations at the ho«
tel, but would entertain us with the greatest
pleasure at their houses. They had also got
up a picnic party for our benefit, and were
waiting at the depot with their carriages to
take us to -
GRANITE QUARRY.
The ride there was one of the most roman-
tic, beantiful and rough, that we have ever
taken. We stopped where a cool spring
bubbled up by the road side, and found some
very pretty specimens of agate. Arrived at
the Quarry, we were told to rumble about at
our pleasure until the bell sounded lor lun-
cheon. At this time, and in fact during our
entire stay in the valley, we found ourselves
received by perfect strangers as cordially and
entertained as hospitably as if we were. old
friends. If any one, who is inclined to take
a south-side-view of things exclaims, “This
is Southern hospitality,” allow us to state
that these were mostly New England fami-
lies, many of them having come from Con-
necticut some years since. They were the
first families of thetown.
Being interested to learn something of the
prevailing political sentiments, we asked our
friends whether the company at the Quarry
were principally union or copperhead'.
“Why 1" he exclaimed, “we are all radical,of
course. Do you suppose I would invite any
one else to a pic-nic with you 1’"
This immense bed of Granite—named a
Quarry, though it has never been worked,—
rises like a huge whale's back. Enormous
boulders are piled agound the base, and ma-
ny are poised on the top, or have succeeded

gives the dimensions of two boulders, the
largest that have come to his knowledge, one
at Bradford, Mass, thirty feet each way, an-
other atWhittingham, Vermont, forty-three
feet long, thirty feet high, and the same in
width. But here hundreds may be seen
equally as large, and several exceeding these
dimensions. One, called “the Elephant,"
from its great size and supposed resemblance
to that animal, a friend estimates as “some
{forty-five feet' in length. by thirty-fillets
height.” We have heard it computed at
higher . figures. It rests upon a base about
three or four feet square. We shall never
forget the thrilling cl“ b from a neighboring
boulder, on a cedar so that turned at eva-
ry step, at aheight of over thirty feet above
a bed of solid granite, to the summit of the
“Elephant.” . -
This boulder impressed us as being the
Betty's conception of a pebble. None. but Hé
who “weighs the mountains in scales and the
hills ina balance, and taketh up the isles as
a very little thing,” could conceive of these
gigantic pebbles. They have every appear-
ance of having been tumbled about in the
bed of the primeval ocean.
A person can entertain himself foran hour
jumping from boulder to boulder, where they
stand ranged in rows, or are grouped togeth-
er like herds of huge animals. This may
however prove a hazardous pastime, for o

granite some thirty feet below, and “none the

This granite is not by any means the bean-
tiful seinite of the ancients, in comparison.
with whichit is but a coarse conglomerate.
It is of a gray color on the surface,and pre-
sents a reddish appearance when broken. It
is covered in places with a fine gray mom,
and, which is very astonishing, trees of tall
and luxuriant growth stand among the hon]-
ders, apparently drawing their nourishment
from the very rock itself. In reality, how-
ever, they send their tougb, fibrOu: roots—the
delicate, but strong fibres clingingto the
rocky crevices—to a very great distance, I
dare not say how far, to obtain the life-giving
juices for these courageous trees.
We do not hesitate to pronounce the Gran-
ite Quarry the greatest natural wonder that
we have ever beheld, not excepting Nissan
Falls. For, having given the great lakes
and a precipice in the bed of the river that
forms their outlet, the Falls result as a not
surprising consequence. But who can tell
what mighty influence in ages how long past,
upheaved this ponderous wall far, from kin-
dred formations ! And were these giant boul-
ders once indeed but pebbles f—the play-
things of the billows of that vast provincial
ocean,—when darkness was upon the face
of the great deep 1”
“What is man tbutTnou art mindfbl of
him ! What! but for that immortal spark
that may burn high as Heaven, or deep as
the nether abyss. '
When we at last left the Quarry it was
with the determination of revisiting it at
some time in the future. And we hope that
many whose eyes may falllupon this very
inadequate sketch may have the opportunity
of visiting and wandering long among these
silent teachers, of sitting in their cool shades
—the refreshing shadow of a great rock in o
Weary land"—of‘ hearing our national chants
swell and reverberate through these gigantic
. corridors, of retreating alone to some distant
dim recess, and, with all the mystery of the
(loan, and the when of this marvelous . forma-
tion stirring their soul, to feel without ablush
the tear of strong emotion on their cheek.
We expect next week to gi'vo the readers
of the Gazette a short sketch of “Shut-in,"
‘the pass through which Price and his army
entered Arcadia Valley before the battle of
Pilot Knob, although our friends of the Gen-
eral Assembly made its wonders so well
known by their visit last fall. But we wish
to give a few of the particulars of the battle
as we received them from the lips of the
brave boys, and the gray haired patriots,
who took part in that heroic defence. 0.

' Mr. Beecher.
We have seen nowhere,‘the universal feel-
ing of every truly good man more succinctly
stated than in the following from the New
York Independent. It would seem thstif
anything could open the eyes of this deluded
man it would be the Hozannas now being
sung to his praise by every dialoyal tongue.—
With profound surprise and grief we have
read Mr. Beecher’s letter to the Cleveland
Convention. Would to God it needed no
other commenta in this journal than a re-
gretful silence I ‘ at a sense of duty ‘con-
strains as to accompany its publicationwith
a solemn protest against the public course to
which it commits~ its author. This letter
quenches our last hope that Mr. Beecher-was
to unite with the friends instead of the one-
mies of his country. We know and love
him well. No man’s motives are urer; no
man more affectionately reveres a native
land. But, under the spell Of- an unhappy
blindness which has rested on his eyes for a
year past, he has done more injury to the
American Republic than has been done by
any other citizen except Andrew Johnson.
We had secretly cherished the conviction
that Mr. Beecher, during his last few months
of silence concerning public affairs, had
been a sad and thoughtful witness of the mis-
chievous policy of the President. We could
not force our mind to believe that, in the
great civil struggles of the approaching su-
tnmn, the minister of Plymouth Church
would be found on the side of Clement Ia.
Vallandigham. the pirate Semmes, and the
murderers at‘New Orleans. Of course,his
letter is in a lollier and purer strain than the
common tone of Copperhead politics. but
the humiliating fact remains that Mr.- Euch-
er deliberately and officially, under his hand
and seal has entered into league and cave-
nant with the Johnson party :—a party
whose only hope of victory is by a league of
traitors against loyal men. ' is Mr.
Beecher’s position ! his a solemn hOur for
the nation. “He that is not for us is against
us." By Mr. Beecher’s pact record, by his
inherent sympathy with universal liberty, by
his ancient scorn of treacth in public men,
he belongs to the loyal party from whom,
like a self-dishonored leader he has become
a voluntary deserter. Mr. Beecher-’5 public
attitude at the present moment is the at ' tide
of a man who is, putting a great repu tion
to the ignoble use of debssing his country.
If, in view of this awful fact, this journal
were to lend through silence a seeming. oc-
quiescence, or even an implied palliation. we
would justly be held an accomphoo in the
guilt. Since the occasion, therefore, 00m-
pells us to speak, we have no other alterna-
tive than to choose .the strongest poniblo
words of condemnation. We havepni to
add that, if any of Mr. Beecher’s fnen or
of our own, shall feel pain at reading this
protest, let them imagine the greater pain of
writing it. . ,,
