I smooth from off your foiehcad fSfr,
I look into your saddened eyes, . „
On which a shadow ever lies; ’ “ -
A sigh deep labors in my breast,
To see your bosom's wild unrest.
Your lot baa been but woman’s late;
Your soul found not its fitting mate;
Your sweetest feelings have been crush'd;
Yonr dearest longings moat be hash'd;
Your anguish still be tmeoufess'd,
And rankle secret in your breast.
Thia e’er has been fond woman's doom.
Her heart most be a close-sealed toMb;
Wherein are veil’d from mortal sight
All dreama that could have made earth bright; .
No hand but Death’s Ae stone can roll
From off Ae portal of Ac soul
We’re, for example, often told
Of Spartan youths in days of old,
Who suffer’d—nor betrayed Ac smart—
The fang of beasts to pierce the heart;
Yet woman's fortitude would shame
The brightest glow of Spartan fame.

Herts slowly eats Ae sonl away.
Yet she a smile must ever wear,
To hide Ac misery rankling there.
And yet ’tls vain to hide the wrong;
The doom is—Suffer aud lie strong.
O martyr-souls; 1 never see
Yonr anguish, bnt I bend Ae knee
In reverence—as at a shrine—
To hopeless misery such as thine.
Would that my tear-drops,'as Aey fall,
Could exorcise tliy spirit’s thrall.

on wcdimday, by the seizure of tobacco pur

York, who are agents for the Rothschilds.
It appears that during Ae morning Colonel
Loomis, who is agent ion the treasury of the
United States, called at-Anderson’* and at
Myers’ warehouses, and asked the inspectors
if they had not some of Itothschild’s tobac
co stored there. . The nispcctors informed
him they had, whereupon he directed it to
be put in order for shipping. He was then
asked by the inspector-; had he the usual to
bacco notes! To which' he replied that he
had not, but that he bad a list of Ae tobac
co prepared by Mr. Suydam, who Is also an
agent of Belmont & Co. The inspectors, of
course, had nothing further to say at the mo
ment, and yielded as?cnt. Tlie amount in
Anderson's warehouse is taro hundred and
fiity-tbree hogsheads, and in Myers’ one hun
dred and thirteen hogsheads. If we recol

seized tois same tobacco‘daring the war, but
subsequently gave it up to tbe owners.—

TnK Monster Bells or the World.—In
making large bells, loudiu -s rather than pitch
is the object,. ** the sound can 4>e conveyed
to a much farther extent. This accounts 'for
the enormous weight of some of Ac largest

Tuf. Robbert and Murder at Brook
lyn.—Further Particulars.—It has been
mentioned that Jose Garcia Otero, a guest at
the Barcelona hotel, in New York, was mur
dered on the night of the 23d, at City Park,
Brooklyn, ne was a theatrical manager in
Havana, and lately arrived in this country to
purchase machinery. When he left the hotel
he had #10,000 with him. and when his body
was found there were bnt #300 in his vest
pocket. The Herald gives the subjoined ad
ditional particulars:
He left his temporary stopping place, Ae
Barcelona hotel, in Great Jones street, be
tween six and seven o'clock on Wednesday
evening, in company wiA a friend named
Jose Gonzales. Senor Otero had, it is Aonght,
from eight to ten thousand dollars on hisper-
son. If is supposed that after leaving his
hotel he was joined by other parties, Ac
whole proceeding to Brooklyn, wheje at ten
o’clock the same evening. Otero was found
murdered, but bis body was not then cold.
A dagger and two razors were found near
him, wfiich at first gave rise to Ae idea that
he luid committed suicide: but closer inves
tigation revealed Ae faet.thatjhc was brutally
murdered by one or more persons. The mat
ter was given into the hands of the detective
police, and late on Thursday afternoon they
arrested a Cuba*, named Theodore Martinez
Bellecer, on board tbe steamship Manhattan,
as she was about to depart for Havanah and
Vera Cruz. Tlie person of the prisoner was
examined, when it was discovered that his
hands were cut in several places, as if with a
sharp instrument A pair of gloves, cut and
soiled with blood, were also found, and his
clothing was thickly soiled wiA fresh blood.
He was handcuffed and taken to Brooklyn,
and was subsequently taken to view the body
otthe murdered man, when he exhibited
great nervousness and shook his head, bnt
said nothing. He is now in close custody
awaiting the result of an inquest which is in
progress. Jose Gonzales, with whom Senor
Otero left his hotel, has not yet been found,
but no efforts are being spared by Ae author-
Plotto Assassinate the Tycoon of Japan.
From the Alta Californian.]
By the arrival of the British ship Harka-
way, thirty-one days from Kanagawa, we are
in receipt of files of the Japan Herald to Sep
tember 16.
The Herald of September 4th says: A
few days ago a well known official in Yeddo,
Tatsongoro, Chief of Ae Fire Brigades, was
executed by being transpierced with lances
while lashed to a wooden cross. The enuse
of his execution was as follows:
During Ae march of Ae army from Yeddo
to Osaco, the Castle Dzeze, in the Province of
Go-shoo, was selected as one of tlie resting
places of the Tycoon, in which he should
pass the night. " Dzeze is situated in the
district of Oomi, and is Ae ancestral scat of
the Daimio Hondliashnsen-nosho, who -was
in Yeddo at the time. *
On the day that Ae Tycoon was to arrive
at Dzeze in the evening, and while he
was resting at the village on this side of
Dzeze, a retainer of the Hondha present
ed himself at Ae door of Ae apartment
in which the Tycoon was, and before he
could be prevented, he entered the room
and prostrated himself before the Prince.
Being called upon for an explanation of
such an extraordinary infringement of
Japanese etiquette, he at once told his
tale. “Do not,” said he, “rest at Hond
ha Sams's palace to-night, according to
your original intention. Preparations
have been made to destroy you by means
of gunpowder. The whole house has
been undermined, and Ae execution of
Ae plot committed to one called Shimo-
no Tatsongoro, by orders of Ae Karoo,^and
others in charge of the palace. I am one of
the Hondha Sama’s retainers, and I know
that the Prince knows notning of these evil
designs. I was, by good luck, one of Ae
party selected by the Kuroe for Ais bad
work, and have assisted in the preparation,
and so I know the whole truth, and desire to
warn you in time, and save my Prince from
disgrace and unjust punishment, To prove
my sincerity, I seal my statement wiA my
blood.” He then performed “harikari,” and
his last declaration was Aat Stozu-bashi was
the prime originator of the design. The
poor fellow suffered dreadfully, but he died
smilingly saying, “I have done my duty.”—
The Karoc (head retainer and officer in charge
of.the palace during the Daimio’s residence
inYeddo) was promptly arrested, with five
accomplices.
Our Japanese friends say there is some rea
son to believe Aat the Stozu-basbi might
have been Ao director of the plot, as, if-it
had succeeded, there would have been but
little difficulty in removing the Tycoon’s son.
now in Yeddo, and that done, Stozu-bashi
would almost certainly be elected Tycoon-
he being Ae son of Prince Mito, one of the
Gosankay. He is also the man most likely
to meet the views of Ae Mikado and those
Daimios hostile to Ae present foreign treat
ies, and in favor of separate and independent
treaties.
Reports say that Tycoon is a good deal de
pressed in spirits. He holds court at Osaca,
and seems to have made preparations for. a
lengthened stay there. Tlie rebuilding of his
Yeddo palacej that was destroyed by fire
some time back, has been discontinued.—
Trade in Yeddo is excessively slack, and
many persons are selling out and going to
Osaca to settle.
Since the above was in type, we have re
ceived intelligence confirmatory of the main,
fact in the above, and from a source which
quite renders incredulity impossible. There
is little doubt but that the Tycoon narrowly
escaped immediate peril on his journey to
Osaca. The Daimio Hondo Shizenosho had
planned, that on Ae arrival of the Tycoon at
his capital—Dzeze, the chief town of Genti
an attempt was to be made on his life.' The
accounts vary considerably. One is that the
Daimio had" arranged that the roof :of his
house should fall through and crush the Ty
coon and party at a given signal. AnoAer
is to the effect that it was undermined, and
was to Be blown up. It is said that As plot
was discovered by Ae Daimio’s own wife
having sent timely warning to the Tycoon.

A prominent question before Ae next con
gress will be Ae increase of Ae regular ar
my. Gen. Grant is understood to favor the
mustering out of all volunteers and the mak
ing of such additions to all arms of the ser
vice as would make the nominal strengA of
the regulars about 75,000. Too little atten
tion has been paid to cavalry, in times ot
peace. Borne new measures for recruiting
and drilling this arm of the service may also
be recommended.
Tlie abandonment of Ae depots of govern
ment supplies in Ae Southern States, conse
quent upon the gradual withdrawal of troops,
has caused Gen. Howard to issue a circular
authorizing the assistant commissaries of
States to mJit 1 requisitions upon the depart
ments still remaining for such rations as will
be required for Airty days in their respective
departments, for the benefit of refugees and
freedmen. ,
Gen. Grant in Richmond.
The Herald's Richmond correspondence,
Nov. 27th, 6ays: General Grant was heartily
welcomed to that city by tlie military author
ities. He freely expressed his opinion while
there regarding Mexican . affairs. He said
emphatically that Ae advent of Maximilian
to the pretended throne of Mexico was a part
of the rebellion, and his immediate expul
sion should be a part of its history. France
did not ask our consent to establish a throne
in Mexico, and we should not consult that
power in re-establishing the republic. He
said that France hod no right to interfere in
the question, but if site would involve hjflself
in a war with us on this point, now is tlie
time to have it, while our army' and navy is
yet organized, and before our commerce is
again afloat on every sea.
Two Days Later from Enrope
Sandy Hook, Nov. 29.—The Scotia, from
Liverpool, 18th, via quarantine, 19th, arrived
off here to-day. Her dates are two days
later.
Spanish aggression on Chili occupied the
attention of the European press. A memo
rial from an influential meeting held at Liv
erpool would be presented to Earl Clarendon,
asking Aat prompt action be taken for the
protection of British interests in Chili. A
deputation of Liverpool merchants had wait
ed upon Earl Clarendon in regard to Chilian
troubles, and the interview was very satisfac
tory. There is every reason to hope that the
government will take energetic measures in
regard to the matter.
Wc have received no commercial news by
Ais arrival.
Florida Railroads.—The railroads in
Florida did not suffer much damage during
the war, in comparison to other Southern
roads.
The Pensacola and Georgia roaH is in fair
running order from Quincy to Lake City.
The cars are running tri-weekly.
On the Central road the cars make their
weekly trips between Lake City and Jack
sonville.
The Florida railroad, from Fernandina to
Cedar Keys, it is expected, will be in opera
tion by the first of January.
The Pensacola and Georgia railroad runs
no further west than Quincy, although it is
hoped it will be completed before long to Ac
Chattahoochee.
The president of the latter road has pur
chased in the North five first-class engines
and a large amount of material for the con-
struction eff box cars.

The Russian Cattle Plague.—The secro
tary of state has received a letter from Minis
ter" Clay, dated St Petersburg, Oct 29. As
some attempts are being made to deny the
existence of' Ae cattle plague in Russia, he
quotes extracts from the Russian Gazette, of
Moscow, in proof of Ae fact. Nothing is at
tempted to arrest the plague—the supernatu
ral people regard that as a useless attempt.
Some of the larger villages scarcely retain the
tenth of their original number. Cattle per
ish by hundreds, and sheep by Aousand3.
The description of the cattle plague docs not
answer to the one raging in England, in all
respects, but climate aud other surroundings
greatly change Ae symptoms and character
of Ae disease, as is well known, and notwith
standing the denials of Ae Russian authori
ties, who are much interested in Ac exporta
tion of cattle, tallow, hides and wool, Mr.
Clay is still of the decided opinjon that the
disease was carried from the Baltic (Russian)
ports to England.
The Mineral Resources of Idaho.—The
discovery of rich mines of cinnabar, or quick
silver, in Idaho territory, is likely to be im
portant, if present estimates of its value are
confirmed. A letter.from Ruby City says
“Ae existence of a vast bed of cinnabar ore
in Ae location before spoken of is beyond gll
question.” Of one thing the world may rest
assured, that New Almaden will enjoy a mo
nopoly of quicksilver mining no longer till
the mines of Owyhee can be made to yield.
Several new gold discoveries are spoken of,
but Ae want of facilities of transportation in
ities to discover him. as well as others on Idaho is the great obstacle to mineral devel-
whom suspicion rest.

PRESENTMENTS,
*
Jury of the County or Bibb, beg
mike the following Presentment:
<1 ! e Clertof the Superior and In-)
lienor courts, and or the Court of Ordinary,Tutvc I
been exanfined by our committee, who report that
they find Ae said books kept in * neat indbusiness
like manner, tnd the records and deeds of Ae
connty placed upon record up to date. Also, that
by Ae efficiency and promptness of Ae Judge of
Ordinary, Wm. M. Riley, Esq., everything cop-
Lucctcd with Ac county journals and records have
I been prcacrvqd intact, and tu good order. '
Wc find Ae pnbBc buililing3 in a state of dilap
idation. The dome of Ac Court House is in a
leaky condition, owing to the breaking out otthe
blinds and absence of glass from Ae windows.
I The roof also requires repairs, and a new fence is
needed round tbe Court House; chairs are jffspl
wanted in Ae rooms of Ae Court, Grand Jftry
and offices of Ae Clerks, all of which are
Irefercd to the attention of Ae Justices ol the In
ferior Court-
| The Jail havlag been destroyed, Ae Grand Jury
recommend that a pew one be Immediately put
under contract and hastened to completion, bythe
proper anAority. This is the more important
I from the fact Aat Ae Penitentiary is also partially
destroyed, and there is no place for the safe-keep
ing of persons convicted ot crime or charged with
criminal offences.
The publlcyoads of Ac county are found to be I
generally in bad order. The bridge on Ae Colum
bus road across TobcsoSVcc creek Is in a danger
ous condition. Also, the bridge across the Ecba-
connec requires early attention. Tbe Toll bridge
across Tohcsoflkcc, on tbe Perry road, needs re
pair, and replacing of the railing which has been
broken off
In taking into consideration Ae situation of Ac
country as to labor, and the Inefficiency of tbe sys
tem heretofore pursued in regard tokeepiag up
the pnblic roads, this Grand Jury would recom
mend Aat our Senate!* and Representatives in Ae I
Legislature make an effort to have a law passed, if
Inecessary, authorizing the Justices ot the Inferior
[Court of Bibb connty to have the roads of Ac
Iconnty woftted by contract, and to levy a tax to
pay tbe coet of Ac same. This plan wc understand
lias been adopted with success in Richmond coun
ty, and is deemed to be worthy ef a trial.
The subject of a more ample and certain provis
ion for Ae poor of Ae connty, Ae number of which
has, perhaps quadrupled within the last year, from
the general disruption of adiiirs, involving thel
death of many heads of families, as well as loss ofl
property and means of suppport, has pressed itself
upon the attention of Ais body, wlAont its being
able to suggest a remedy commensurate with the
magnitude of tbe evils sought to be relieved or re
moved. That something must be done, more than
heretofore, to prevent the great distress and mor
tality that will inevitably result from the inability
to procure food, clothing, fuel and shelter, by Ais
large class of Ac community, during theupproacli-
iug winter, is self evident. Wchaveoflleiafauthori-
ty for saying, that there arc now in onr county about
500 women and 1000 children that are dependent,
wholy or in part, upon Ae pnblic bounty, for Aeir
very existence. They have little or no means oi
support, and what many of them have had in the
way of domestic animals, etc., they have been de
prived of by Ac hand of violence aud theft. It
will not do, then, to depend for relief upon Ae spon
taneous liberalities of the private citizen, however
S tomcrous that has been or may be, bnt Ao authori
ses of thegity and connty are nrged to unite in
the adoption of snch measures as will secure, by
taxation or o Aerwisc, tbe needed amount of money
to save our dependent poor from suffering and
death, especially os many of these have been nrndo
poor through the disasters of the late war, viz:
the widows aud orphans of Ae soldiers.
Something should also be done in behalf of
the negro population, whioh is now crowded
upon us, by the fortune of war. Thousands of
these helpless and improvident .people have
abandoned their homes in the country, where
food, raiment and shelter, were enjoyed, and
have congregated in our villages and towns,
Heading an idle and dissolute life, and the snb-
[ject of many loathsome diseases, freely mingling
with the whites and communicating their conta-
jgion to all around. In Ao present state of the
country tho civil authorities are powerless to
remedy all these evils. Tho able bodied froed-
men 'and freedwomcn do as thoy please. No
other idea of thoir new born liberty seems to bo
entertained than that of freedom from work.—
They cannot be reached by State or municipal
law, and wo can only have redress through tho
interference of the military power of Aa United
States, who have the care and control of this
class. Are we wrong, then, in looking to that
anAority for the relief ofour impoverished white
race, from Ao intolerable bnrdens now imposed
upon them by the additional mass of pauperism,
disease and crime, incident to emancipation? In
