The light at home ! how bright it beams, When evening shades around us fall; And from the lattice far it gleams, • To love, and rest and comfort all, When<wearied with the toils ol day, , Aifd .strife for glory, gold or fame, llow sweet tq seek the .quiet vjpy^ Where loving lips will lisp our nalne. When through the dark and stormy night, The wayward’wanderer homeward flies, * How cheering is the twinkling light Which through the forrest gioora he spies { It is the light of home ; he feels That loving hearts will gleet him there, And softly through his bosom steals The joy aud love that banisn'eare. The light at home! how still and sweet It peeps from yonder cottage door— The weary laborer to greet, * When the rough toils of day are o’er 1 Bad is the soul thht does not know The blessmgs that its beams impart, The cheerful hopes aud joys that flow, And lighten up the heaviest heart. . THE EAIN. Hear the rain how it patters f On the roof! How each tiny globule clatters / On tiie roof! With its merry rushing song. Fainter now, and now more strong. On the roof! On the good and on the evil Still it falls; Angel,'spirit, or human devil, ■ -‘"g-dIFR-dhil#,*'- Merrily singing as it yields Blessing on the thirsty fields. What a lordly power it wieids As it falls! Mountain, valley, brook and river Bless tho rain; Aud the dancing leaflets quiver With the rain; - Save the sparkling crystal drop In the silver liiiy’s eup, How the thirsty earth drinks up All the rain! The love that survives the tomb, says Irving, is one of the noblest attributes of the soul. It has woes —it has likwise its delights; and when the overwhelming burst of grief is calmed into the gentle tear of recollection, when the sudden an guish and convulsed agony is over, the present ruins of those we most loved are got’fcsned away into pensive meditation ou * all that it was in the day of its loveliness. Who would root sorrow from the heart, though it may sometimes throw a passing cloud over the bright hour of gloom '{ Yet who would exchauge it even for the song of pleasure or the burst of revelry ? No, there is a voice from the tomb sweeter than song ; there is a remembrance of the dead to which we turn even from the charm of the living. The Maci-tr Confederate says : Fanny Fern is on a visit to Beast Butler, at Bermuda Hundreds. We may expect an autumn growth of Fern leaves. Which autumn do you speak of, brother Flash ? Thi& autumu would be .rather too soon to expect it, and next autunyi rather too late. You speak of poetical fern leave?, us course—poetical, even though written in the form of prose. But remem ber, this fall would not reach the ‘ sacred nine’ and the next would be beyond them —in number.— Eatonton Countryman. < ♦ * One month of spirit and energy now, says the Examiner, and the campaign is over, and the war is over. We do not mean if the yaur’s campaign and favorable for us McOellan will be elected ax Yankee President. This may come, or, niav not come, but no partofour chauee fumtfihonora ble peace and independence rests upon that. Let who will be Yankee President, with the failure of Grant and Sherman this year ends the war. ♦- « The Examiner of the 7th says trustwor thy information was received last night that our guerrillas and irregular bands in the Valley had completely cut Sheridan’s com- j raunication with Winchester “Carving out to* South WheJsay ( * the Statistics. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun calls attention to sotue striking and inter esting facts to show that the bugbear of “ siatvidg out the South ” and “ cutting of? supplies,” &c., may be said with sase, UuAdoing it is another thing, Jie says: * I will select first, South Carolina, to run she parallel with, for several reasons, the ! chic!' of which’are that she has been sup poled to produce nothing but cotton and rt<p, and she is the most derided and con dqnnedof all the slaveholding States. Not mjny persons are aware that this State .* sSri'l p.iodueps fiyejijcths nearly of the nee grown, but the census of 1850 shows that to be the filet; besides nearly all the rice, she produces wheat to within <5,000 bushels of ail produced by* the six New England States together. She produces almost as much corn as the State of New York, and six millions of bushels of grain more than all the New England States to gether, for she produced upwards of 16,- 000,000 of bushels. She produced more oats than Maine; more by 1,000,000 bush els than Massachusetts; more than 1,000,- OOp bushels *f potatoes, over and above ’what Maine produced; more beans and peas , by 180,000 bushels than all the North ern States together except New York; more beef cattle than Pennsylvania by 1,740, and almost as many as all-the New Eng land States together; more sheep’than lo wa and Wisconsin by 10,699 ; more hogs thau New York by 47,252 ; more than Penqsylvaniau by 251,137,* and BQ,OOO > more than all the New England States with : New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin and Cal < ifornia in the bargain ; more horses aud ; mules by 10,000 than Maine, New Harnp * shire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island to gether; besides ail which she produces i largely of oxen, cows, and-a variety of pro ducts of the smaller kinds. Virginia and North Carolina produced i * UU(> bushels more than the great wheat i State of New York, quantity equal to the whole product of the six New England j Static, with New Jeremy* Michigan, low* j and Wisconsin all put together., Virgin ia, North Carolina and Tennessee prodtic ; ed 115,471,593 bushels of corn, a quanti ty exceeding by 300,000 bushels the joint \ product of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, f New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, * New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Tennessee alone produced 16,506 more ; hogs than all the six New England States, | with New York, Pennsylvania, Newjer | sey, lowa, and Michigan, for that State produced 3,104,800 hogs, while the eleven Northern States named produced but 8,- 088,394. Most Os people have thought that the Nortq was really the hog produc ing section, but such is by no means the fact. The whole number of hogs produc ed in 1850 was 30,316,608, of which the slaveholding States furnished, 20,770,730, or more than two-thirds of the whole swine production. It will doubtless surprise many persons to be told that the seven gulf or cotton ■ States of South Corolina, Georgia, Alaba ma, Mississippi, Louisiana upd Texas pro- ! duced 45,137 more beef cattle than the ' six New England States, New York, Penn sylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana, Mich igan and Wisconsin, altogether; but such \ is the fact, for the census of 1850 tells us that these seven cotton States produced ‘ 8,354,489 beef cattie, while the thirteen Northern States named produced but 3,- f 312,327. A single glance at the live stoolc columns of the seventh census will pr6ve to the in quirer that the slave holding States pro duced more beef cattle than the non-slave holding by 1,782.587. That while the North produced 3,541,121 cows the South produced 8,829,810. That the Northern States produced 866,397 work oxen, against 820,340 produced by the Southern States. * That while the North produced 2,316,963 borses and mules, the South produced 259,- j 35§ more, for the Southern production ! wab 2,507,320. In conclusion, as people have been so much in the habit of conceding superiori- i ty to the North, in these and other points of view, may be the above statements may j be doubted ;if so. I refer the skeptical to ! the seventh census of 1850, the last date- i we have. The Presidential fight waxes hot and bitter at the North. The New York Tri bune, in the interest of Lincoln, charges j anil promises the documents to prove that McClellan is a coward and took refuge in an iron-clad gunboat while bis army v,us desperately engaged at Malvern IJili.

The venerable Dr. gammers, to s letter I to the ,Sout7i*rn Christian Advocate, says :* Some of oar people are discouraged at tho situation “ ox public affairs ; bat others of us are still sanguine of success, and that at no very distant day. What party soev er prevails at the North—and it is not ea sy. to say which is the best for «s —wo think the result of the elcotioti will inure to our bcuelit. 4The Northern people—at’ least the Northwestern people—3"€ tired ot the war, and are determined to have peace; and’-theyknow—tbank God!—that they cannot have it without recognizing, ■ C'it *ftdep4Uidk’ , .ce, .2he*.Ju»o4 && • have a Government that has backbone in it—whatever feeble knees there may be in certain spotted parts of our country. So let us be of good cheer—let us suffer on a little longer—let us reform . our lives, re*, pose in humble trust in Providence—thank God, aud take courage ! • The way to do it There is but one way for either party to restore peace on this continent. This one way is negotiation. Let there be a change of parties and power iu the North, then a convention of the States. In that conven tion vve may not agree upon reconstruction ; but we shall do what is better for both sec tions of the oountry. We will make two separate nationalities, cemented in interest, by the declaration of the Monroe doctrine, and by commercial stipulations, such as no united Congress would ever admit. -How much better for the great Northwest than the subjugation of the South after years of blood and ruin ? How much worthier the vaunted character of the American people. Montgomery Mail.
