Marching Down Pennsylvania Avenue, Bret Hartes Grand Review—Uitizens Again, Written for the ek, NO. XII. On the 14th of April Sherman’s army captures another state capltal—Raleigh, N. 0., and we march through the city, pasalng the capltol bullding, on the steps of which Sherman wud his staff are posted ; the streets are lined with citl- zens whoso conduct indicate that there is not regret on their part that the place ia in the hands of the ‘‘enemy,” for the ordinance of secession had not been a popular measure with the people of *The “0ld North State,” and during the ecn. tire war the mountalns had secreted thousands of loyalista who could uot be forced into waglng war upon the govern- ment of thelr fathors. As wo marched in column of companies, keeping step to the muslc of the national alrs, tho sight of tho grand old flag brought tears to their eyes, and cheers and waving of handkerchlefs gave exprassion to their greater love for ourcommon country. Twelvo miles west of Raloigh the com- mand halts, It is known to us that negotlations are pending for the sur- render of Johnston’s army, the propoei- tlons belng of the most genercus character, bazed upon Intimations given Sherman by Presldent Lincoln a few weeks previous. Meanwhile the grand- est man this country has ever produced has been foully murdered, and a horrified and outraged natlon cry out against the liberal terms Sherman has offered, though they had originated with the great and tender heart that is now stilled forever, and, having been sent to Washington for endorsement, aro returned by Mr. Stanton disapproved, and he sends General Grant down to re- ceive the surrender of Johnson'sarmy on {erms more in keeping with public senti- ment. We are visited in our camps by General Geant but he gives no intimation to General Sherman of his real mission, allowlng the latter the full honor of re- ceiving the surrender of the brave army he had first met in the advance on_At- lanta—another evidence of the modesty of General Grant and of his high sense of honor and fatrness. THE WAR ENDED, Agpril 29, 1865, one year from the day we marched out of our camps at Pulaski, Tenn,, on the Atlanta campalgn, we started on our Jast march for Washing. ton, vla Richmond, knowing that our days of battle are over, as we have just witnessed the surrender of the last rebel command worthy of being calledan army. It is a happy time, at first, as we march through the pine forests of North Caro- lina and past the well cultivated plant: tions where the citizens have fillea buck- ets, tuba and barrels with cool water for the benefit of the soldiers, Darkies have come long distances to see ue, and are wild with joy. One old chap ex- claimed that ‘‘de whole world has gone by sence daylight;” another sang ouf “Dar goes my boys! Hurra for dem, Dey clars ebberything before’em!” A woman who was ovérjoyed with her newly acquired freedom shoumted *“You uns all is angels from Lebben!” But our tramp to Richmond was & hard one, It was reported that tho varlous corps commanders had lald a wager a3 to who should reach that city first, and a3 the weather was excessively hot thero wags much suffering among the men, One day we marched thirty-two miles and when our company cf forty-two moen stacked arms at night thera were only slx in the ranks; the others bad dropped out durlng the day, unabla to keepup tho terriblo pace, and worc soattorod f miles along the road in the rear, Before reaching Richmond, hundreds of men in Sherman’s army were sunstrack and in meny instances death resulted. I saw men of my own ncqusintazce who had gone through battles snd dangers, enduring great hardehips but surviving them all and living to the erd of the war; who thad started on ocr nerthward march from Ralelgh with hearts filled with gladness by thoughts of home and freedem—thess men I have seen drop to tha ground from the effects of sun stroke, and, with foaming lips and staring eyes writhe inthe dust with agony, the victims of a bratal lack of constderation on the part of offizers whose only thought should have been to care for these heroes and maks light and pleasant thls last march, homeward bound, after 8o many months and yeara of danger and sufferivg, Men died on THAT DREADFOL JOURNEY who had earned the rightto see their homes and loved onea again, but were denied that right and murdered by the heartless indifference of corps and divis- lon commandera, The story of the bet may have had no foundation but the fact remalns that the march of Sherman's army from the capltol of North Carolina to the capitol of Virgluis in the month of May, 1805, after the war had closed and when there was no occasion whatever for rapld movement was a sea- son of terrible suffering to the infantry and the direct cause of the death cf ecores —to pat it with great moderation, From Richmond to Washington olty the march s much easler, and is over his torlcal ground, Oae night we camp near Hanover court oouse—a bullding ereeted In 1730, forty years before the first gun was fired In the rovolutionary war. May 17th we cress the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg, and soam with “‘military eyes'' the battlefield where Burnside was 80 badly whipped in 1863, and wonder how any man with ability sufficient to command a picket guard could have tacked an enemy so splendidly posted, crossing & congiderable stream immedi- ately In front of his position in order to make the assault. We march past the little ohurch in which Gen, Waeshington was marrled, (st loast g0 we are teld), and on the twen- tieth of May go {nto camp on the south side of the Potemac, two miles above Alexandria, Two days later the army of the Potomac, neat, teim and tfdy, marches past the capital building, down Penusyl- vania avenue and in front of the white house, and the following dsy Shermsn’s army, ragged, browned, and as destitute of *trapp'ngs” and surplus b age (.a’ could well ba Imagined, took the same Iine of march under TRIUMPHAL ARCHES, past groups contalning hundreds of school children singing In chorus; cheered by tons of thousands ¢f people llning the sidewalks, filling doors, windows, and baloohies, and coverlog the rocfs of buildings; flowers and bouquets showered upon us from all atder—-down in front of the white heuse where opposite the bronzes statate ot Jacksona large stand has been erected in which Is seated President Johneon snd his cabinet, Grant, Sher- ma 1, Meado, Logan, Howard, snd many dlstinguished milltary men from forelgn countrfes. “Proud?”’ I should ssy eo. Every man marched as thongh the gaze of that vast assemblage was focused on him individually, and, though his cloth- ing and personal adornment were not much to speak of, the consclonsness of eoldierly duty well performed at Dalton, Roseaca, Dallas, Kennesaw, Atlants, Altoons, Milledge- ville, Savannah, Columbla, Bentonaville, Goldsboro and Raleigh, and the thou- sand miles and more that he had tramped to these polnts, gave a vigor to his body, firmne:s to his step and brightness to his eye which his batter clad brother who pasted in review the day previous lacked entirely. Behind the varlous dlvisions came the cooks and camp followers, with camp equipage packed on donkeys and mules. In this train, decked out with ribbons, marched two msgnificent oxen, which had been received while the army was at Ohattanooga a year previous, for beef purposes, They wera not needed there, and wero driven along on the Atlanta campaign, thencs to Savannah and around throngh.the Carolinas, as care- fully tended and carad for as two pet kittens The boys named them *Chat- tanooga” and ‘‘Chleamaugs,” and it was a matter of congratulation that their be- kav.or on the grand review was all that could be desired. ‘“IN SPECTRAL ARRAY.” Another review was witnessed on this occasion by Mr, Bret Harte, which the rest of us saw not, thue: ‘I read last aight of the grand raview In Washington’s chsefest avenup— Two hundred thousand men in blue, I think they said was the number— Till T seemed to hear their trampling feot, The bu le blast and the drum’s quick beat, The clatter of hoofs in the stony street, The cheers of the people who came to graet, And the thousand datails that to repeat Would only my verse encumber— Till I fell in a reverie, sad snd sweet, And then to a fitful slamber, “Whenlo ! in a vision T seemed to stand Th'the lonely capitol. On cach hand Far stretched the portico, dim and grand Tts columns ranged liks a martial band Of sheeted specters, whom some command Had called to & last reviowing. And the streets of the city were white and aro; No footfall echoed across the equare; But out of the misty midnight air I heard in the distance a trumpet blare, And the wandering night-winds seenied to bear The eound of a far tattooing, “Then I held my breath with fear and dread; Tor into the equare with a brazen tread, There rode a figure whose stately head O'erlooked tho review that morning. That never bowed from its firm set soat When the living column passed its feet, Yot now rode steadily up the street To the phantom bugle’s warning.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL, THE DRESS OF CHRISTIANS. Damo Fashion is Severely Thumped trom the Palpit, Last evening the Rev. J, F. McDowell preached o rather sensational sermon at the Iatter saints charch, The following is the substance of the sermon, the text being. “Whose adorning, let it not bo_that out ward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel,” Firat Peter, iii, Wa ehould bo as gracefully and tifully attired as our means will allow of. God loves the beautiful in nature for it is his own handi- work; in art for he has enlightened the mind and fashioned in man's soul the powsr to make beautiful work, for he 18 thus imitating his Maker. 1t is not that in the beautiful apparel we find sin and selfishne but in modern ex- travagance of dress. Jesus hath taught us that the soul is worth more than the body, the body more than the apparel; He has taught His followera that thay should not have their minds go far from Him and g0 close to the fashions of this world as to be ever saying wherewithal shall we be clad and what shall wo ent? Tt is trne, ‘we must be in some fashion, Tt not In the present, in that of the past. Joesus dreesed as was the fashion of the time, but not to excess or extravagence, 1le had a robe woven throughout without seam, so siys the sacred historian. It has boen thought that white was the uni- veraal color bf the Greclan garments, a dis. taste having bean created for any other, But this idea is deneid by Professor Becker, The usual color of a cloak-like garment was used, an is yet the case among several of the oriental nations, when traveling much out of doors in the full sun-light. Amongst some of the wealthy party colored orlental garments were worn by both sexes, and was aczounted a favorite color with Grecian women of modest life, Dresses, we sre informed, wero quite frequently beautiful with interwoven patterns and borders embroideriee, - B iby- lon and Phrygi were ancient cities for the embroiderering art, and whon spread intothe _ ccoidental world were named Phrygiones? as a reminder of the dress of this region, It has been ascer tained from monuments by learned antiqua. rians that the border either woven or set to the dress consisted of one or more stripes of the same dark color, either placed parallel with the eeams or running down the hem from the girdle_at the sides, or from the throat in front, Phrygian dresses are repre. sented as being adorned with gold fringes. Such were worn by the south Italian Groeks, who were luxurious livers. In the cities the Cirecians_walked mostly bare-headed, sup- posed to be becanse of the plentiful hair of the southern nations, which was carefully cultivated by the Greeks, We are apprised by historians that at Athens, during the time of Persian wars, men wore loog hair tied up on top of the head and fastened by a pin in the £rm of a cicada, St. Paul mentions some- thing of men wearing long hair, that it was ‘“a shame” when 'writing to the people of Corinth, which city was located on the isthmus which separates the Ionian from the Aegean sea. It was a great commercial city, and traffic poured through its gates as over the isthmus of Darien, the commerce of two oceans, It was » highway between northera and southern Greece, #0 this custom was evidently intro- duced into tho Christian church” by the Greciane, But modern times aro tilied with the vain, frivolous, extravagant and foolish. Some one asks: “Does God really condescond to notice such emall things 13 & persons apparel?’ Tt seems s0 from biblical history, and if God notices it, surely his ministers should notpass it by. I sometimes fear the modorn pulpit preacher panders too much to tha idls fanci-s of the occupants of the pews, The danger is pride. “‘But,” asks one, “what is pride?” I answer it is that vanity of feeling and of action that causes a well clad person to shun one more illy clad than themselves because of the apparel without respect to the good character of the party, That is wherein pride comes, and God calls pride crime, So- ciety looks more at cloth than at character, Our gamblers are about the best dressed gentry our city afford. I would rather bow in deference to a resptetable poor man dressed in ragged apparel than to the hroad-cloth gentry of the gambling hell. So many peopie are apt to think that becanse they are better dressed than others they are of course better people, There are some of our modern con- gregations of humblo worshippers, nothing but, wholezale millinery shops and flower pots, Now, I have no objection to this when it creates no vani I onco eaw a lady enter o church, and while the organ was sounding forth its sweet voluntary straing, she marched up the isle to a front side pew, flung a_coupls of flashy ribbons over 'her shoulder next the audienco and looked at them, then at the people. Of course I do not eay her heart was not filled with the Holy Ghost, and that she would not willingly have followed Jesus through the burniog dust ot the Pales- tinic 10ads, and washed His feet with mount- ain mist and wiped them with those ribbons, I believe there will be fashion in heaven, but & different, kind from earthly fashion, It will decida the color of the drees, and by a just and beautifnl law the popuiation will Wwear white T have no cast iron rules on * the subject of hu ve acither prim nor But it isa fsct that ashion has set up her throne d at the sound of her musical instruments wo are expncted to fall down and worehip, Her bible the testaments of Madame Demorest's magazine Harper's Bazaar, We cannot deny that; her altars aro sending up continuous flaies of smoae from th fices ot thy bodiea of ten thousand victims, In countivg the victims of fashion we find about &s many maeculine as wo do feminiue, Men make these tirades againtt woman as though ¢he were the chisf worshiper at this idol’s shiine.

Soma are #0 nice that they cover what little brains they have with bangs, and carry canes, showing that they are either lame in lunb or in mind, Inordinate fashion rules the world. There are men and women who put so much in dis- play that they have nothing left for God and needy humanity, Think of a christian woman shedding tears thick and fast into a 25 handkerchief over the story of poor heathen, atd then giving two or three cents to the collection, covering it so that people moy think it is & $10 gold piece, There are men who are put theirwits ends to keep up their wives' ward robes, Oune man likes to seo his wife appear as weil as another, and he must get her some articles as costly as Le can and cannot afford, He always pur- chases within his means, as a certain facstious writer has said, “If he has torun in debt to do it,and never pi ;thu debt.” The rich get what they please, and the poorer classes try to imi- Arnold, cf the revolution, rroposed to s country in order fo obtaln means to furnish his wife's wardrobe, Costly apparel is sending more men to perdition, breaking up more business men than all things besides, 1t was that which sent Gilman to the states prigon, and Philadelphia Morton to watering stocks, it was that which overthrew Belnap, the U. secretary—his wife's ward robe. i find clerks in stores, offices, and bunks trying io vain to ascertain how they will get this or that for themselves, or ~ wives, they have one, Others who have families that do want to sb showy, of some dear wify that will eay, **Hus- band, cannot you get me a seal skin sacque, or & camel’s b " not you getme ¥ " gays the loving hus- He does it, but 7 Such women are dying in muffs,’ dis ‘monde, sesl-skin sacques, camel’s hair shawls, aud the husband gets cigars, hss wine sup- ers, and everything must be & la mode. ‘hese people sometimes die and have a firet. clase funeral with elegant coffins and is it often times found that the last great sleep was had in av unpaid for bed-place.
