The Dying Summer.
Dying Summer s gently gliding
Into Winter's frigid grave :
While tbe falling leaves are hiding
Beauties that around her wave!
Rich an«l gorgeous is the pillow.
Where she lays her dying head.
’Midst the gold-fruit, ripe and yellow,
And the flowers blue and red.
Ilappv Summer, bright and airy.
Brilliant, transient—linger still;
With thee, life and fay and fairy
Vanish all from mount and rill!
Roses sweet, with dew-drops weeping,
Woo thee lovingly to stay:
Stilly streams and cascades leaping,
Bid thee not in haste away.
Laughing hours of sunny gladness,
Fall winds still w‘d blow away;
Leaving leaves to sigh in sadness,
As they wither day by day.
While the sultry Autumn’s breathing
- Perfume from each dewy flower,
Summer’s hand is gently wreathing
Garlands for her parting hour.
Youthful Jure ap'd .July glories,
With their beauties, pass away;
Serve but as a memento mories
Of all the pleasures bright and gay.

[N. O. Commercial.
My heart is line the broken lute,
Unstrung, and idly east away ;
Those thrilling chords are still and mute,
That once inspired the minstrel’s play.
And yet, some hand, with gentle care,
May place again each dulcet string,
And breath, once more, sweet music there.
And to its melting cadence sing.
Still on the lute's worn frame may live,
Of melody, the sweetest token ;
But, oh! the heart can never give,
One happy note, when it is broken.
telligenccr says that the Messrs. Sprague, of
RJiodq Island, hape made arrangements to
erect five cotton mills, with a hundred thou
sand spindles each, at Augusta, Maine,. which
will give employment, directly and indirectly,
to fifty thousand people. The city of Augusta
with a spirit“of enterprise and foresight worthy
of imitation elsewhere, offered facilities to the
enterprise. At Fall River, Massachusetts,
which is crowded with factories and workshops
of all kinds, new companies, with large capi
tals. have been organized for the manufacture
of printing cloths and other cotton goods. New
and extensive establishments for the manufac
ture of steam engines Have .Veen. started in
New England. In all these instances, enter
prise is unaided by a single article of raw ma
terial that is otiered by New England. Iron,
Coal, Cotton, &c., all are brought from other
Estates. In addition to this disadvantage, it is
now found that they have, to import all new
machinery from England instead of making _ it
at home, because, on account of the high price
of labor and material there, it can be produced
in England at two-thirds of the home cost.
The manufacture of cotton, as Governor
Patton, of Alabama, correctly stated in his ad
dress to manufacturing companies in the South,
is much more profitable than its cultivation.
It is quite independent, too. of bad seasons..
Every consideration leads to thy conclusion
that the majority of Eastern mannfacfuftsrs
will be rewarded by an extension of their bu
siness, and with enhanced profits.
Flow much more reason is there to believe
that manufactures will lie a vast source of
wealth to the Southern States !—[Chronicle &

1 )U0MPTED by a desire to benefit our c6nn-
trv, and also to establish an important
fail in science, wc have concluded to oiler to
Uip pblic the above named remedies lor the
n‘Tt and prevention of ling Cholera. Medical
(rmthmen of skill and experience began a se
ries of examinations when the cholera first
begun in this country; alter having periormed
numerous post mortem examinations upon the
belies of hogs which had died of cholera,
amt after great research and investigation to
determine the nature of the disease, led by
the lights arising therefrom, they undertook
the cure of the complaint by various remedies.
They found several articles benefi"ial,‘ but
success was not fully attained to until the
above named medicine was compounded. Hie
medicine was not sought out for the purpose
of sale, but the great success attending its
use has induced them to form a company and
obtain a Patent. Wc offer it us being, under
the accompanying directions, fully' capable ot
arresting any epidemic of hog Cholera, and
prompt in giving relief when properly admin
istered. We confidently believe that the rewu
edv is a specific; yet we do not recommend it
*s infallible in all cases, though we have never
known it to fail, either as a cure or pr6venti\ e
against the further spread of thO disease when
used agreeably to the directions, notwith
standing those free from the disease have been
kept in close proximity with thole diseased.
It is a great Toni*', and will successfully
remove Mange, Sore Head and \ ermin, either
of which will affect tbe health of the hog, and
stop his growth and development. Nothing
will make hogs so thrifty as this remedy. \\ e
offer no patent remedy tor the cure of man,
but we think that the jnildic vrill esteem us as
benefactors when they consider that we have,
for years, been investigating the diseases of
domestic animals, which form not only a part
of the wealth ot the counfry, but aftend mis-
tenance to man. Allow us to add that hog
cholera is but a mild disease when taken in
its early stages with this remedywhich will
rise remove worms from the bowels, and it
administered once a month by the directions,
will forever prevent any injuries troiu the Tri
china Spiralis, which produce such alarming
symptoms in persons who cat trichinous pork.
Thousands of applications have been made to
the Patent Office Department of the United
States, in behalf of remedies to cure Log
Cholera, but we, alone, have been able to pre
sent the unquestionable testimony necessary
• ' procure the Patent now in our possession
securing to us the right to compound and se!!
this invaluable remedy.
Dr. H. Marshall is having these remedies
prepared under his own supervision.

A fi’ad Empress’ Freaks.
[Rome Correspondence rail Mull Gazette.]
o o a 'Hie same day the Tope derived a
further satisfaction from the departure of the
Empress of Mexico, who proceeded to Miramar,
in company- wfth her brother, the Count of
Flanders. Her malady increased after the des
patch of my last letter, and caused great anxi
ety to the Holy Father and all nis Court. For
several days before leaving she persisted in
coming to the Vatican to breakfast with his
Holiness, refusing all nourishment at the Hotel
de Rome. Haunted by fear of poison, she ob
tained the Pope’s glass to drink from, saying it
was the only one that had not been tampered
with, and she lived almost wholly on roasted
chestnuts and chocolate lozenges, brought to
her by Signor Dan, the chamberlain appointed
l.y the Pope to attend her. She drank tire pure
water, which she took in the Pope’s glass, from
the fountain in the Piazza San Carlo. On the
eve of her departure she came to the Vatican
to get two eggs boiled, and dismissed several
Mexicans from her court on the ground that
thev were poisoners. For the French, as welt
as lor the French uniform, she continued to
show the greatest aversion, and was loud in
her denunciations of Napoleon III. Count de
Carolus the Belgian Minister, was no! admitted
to her presence, because she suspected him of
being a spy of the French Emperor’s. The
Pope regarded her with great compassion, and
sought to restore her tranquillity by removing
all the ecclesiastical censures incurred by the
Emperor Maximilian and the Mexican govern
ment for their interference with the estates of
the clergy. The unfortunate princess, l-efore
leaving Rome, bestowed the order of our Lady
of Gaudaloupe on a fat cat which she had made
to taste all her food be fore raising it toiler lips.
The Italian journals declare that her mental
aberration was caused by the Pope, but this
accusation is most unjust, arid wholly devoid
in foundation. The Empress suffers from an
hysteric malady, which has attacked the brain,
and the effect has been aggravated by all she
has lately gone through—by the terrors of
Mexico, the fatigues of her voyage, the failure
of her mission to Paris, and her sense of the
desperate condition of Mexican affairs.

Wnv Masons Celebrate the 24th of June—
St. John’s Day.—Masonic Lodges in ancient
time were dedicated to King Solomon. Tra
dition informs us that they were thus dedica
ted from the building of the first Temple at
Jerusalem to the Babylonish captivity. From
that time to the coming of the Messiah, they
were dedicated to Zerubbabel the builder of
the second temple:' and from that to the final
destruction of the temple by Titns in the
reign of the Emperor Vespasian, they were
dedicated to St. John the Baptist.
Owing to the many massacres and disorders
which attended that memorable event, Free-
masenrv fell very much' into decay. Many of
the lodges were broken up, and but few could
meet with sufficient members to constitute
their legalitv. Under these circumstances a
generafmeeting of the craft was held in the
city of Benjamin, when it was observed that
j the principal reason for the decline of Masonry
! wa? the want of a Grand Master to direct its
affairs. They, therefore, deputed seven of
their most eminent members to wait upon St.
John. the Evangelist, who' Was at that time
Bishop of EpbesuSjYo request him to take the
office ct Grand Master He returned for an
swer that, though well stricken ia years (be-
in cr upwards of ninety,) yet having been in
the early part of his life initiated into Masonry,
he would take upon himself that office.' He

It often falls to the lot of the journalist and
the newspaper reporter to become acquainted
with scenes of misery and destitution, while
in the performance of his duties, but never,
we think, in a civilized community 3nd among
a people calling themselves Christians, in a
community so generally prosperous as that of
Chattanooga, has it been our province to note
such a harrowing scene of poverty, disease,
destitution and death as we were called upon
to witness on last Sunday evening.
At that time, while the chnrch bells were
ringing, calling worshippers to prayer, a friend
called on us to go a short distance from the
Crutchfield House, to see a family who, in his
language, “were dying of starvation.”. Cn
Ninth street, below Chestnut, within a stone’s
throw of two Christian churches, we found
the famiiy. It originally consisted of a moth
er and eight children, but two of the latter
were already dead, while the third was faintly
catching the last few gasps before passing
away. The scene as it presented itself to us
was horrible. The hovel in which* they were,'
was open on all sides to the keen, chilly night
air. On a board at one side of the room iny
the Corpse of a little baby, which had died on
Saturday evening, and a girl five years old,
which had expired on Sunday morning. The
pinched and ghastly features =cf the poor liitle
ones, told too plainly of their lingering, pain
ful death. On a blanket on the floor, lay the
mother, herself sick unto death, holding in
her afms a tUird girl, seven years old, who
was near her last At the feet of the mother
lay tbe eldest daughter, a girl of seventeen'.
The appearance of all of them showed the
want of food of any kind. In one corner
another daughter of seven years lay, suffering
with cramps. Some of the children had not
eaten a mouthful of food from Saturday morn
ing to the time we saw them. Tbe baby, the
first to die, expired in its mother’s arms in
convulsions, on Saturday night. The poor
woman, herself unable to stand from' weakness,
was forced to sit on the floor and hold the
little thing till its eye3 closed on the troubles
of this world. When the second one died in
the morning, she was unable to do anything
for it, and now lay holding the third one.—
While we stayed, a noble-hearted lady, wife
of one of our citizens, who had heard of the
family, came in,' accompanied by a servant
bearing food and clothing for the children.—
Some of the yet living ones -tfefe so weak that
their stomachs refused all food, except a little
boiled milk.’ The’dying child asked for a lit
tle piece of bread, but was unable to swallow
it after it was placed in its mouth. When
asked if she was hungry, she replied, “Not
now ; I was a little while ago/’ affd in a few
moments after it expired and was out of its
Greeley's writings in favor of secession—show
ing the perfect accord between Mr. Greeley
and the secession leaders iu 1860—’61. Gen.
Slocum said:
“ Well, Mr. Toombs, thus re-inforced, tri
umphed, and Alexanderj II. Stephens and
the Union party of the South were defeated
The ordinance was adopted. What was the
resiilt? Greeley's promise to let them go was
not fulfilled. Toombs failed to fulfil his prom
ise also, and neither drank nor shed any blood,
(laughter,) but every prediction made by Mr.
Stephens was more than realized. (Cheers.)
The people of Georgia have seen their lovely
South desolated by the demon of war; their
green fields ot waving harvest have been trod
den down by the soldiery, and the fiery car
of war has swept their land; their temples of
justice have been laid in ashes; and their last
slave wrenched from them by a decree of
universal emancipation. The people bow in
humble submission to their fate—acknowl
edging their rights in slave property all lost,
and only asking to be allowed to salute the
old flag, and place themselves once more be
neath - its protecting folds. Here, again, Mr.
Greely steps npon the stage, and this time he
brings with him what he terms the olive
branch. (Laughter.) He says to Mr. Ste
phens, I told you that the Declaration of In
dependence justified secession of the South as
much as it justified the secession of the Colo
nies in 1776. You foolishly and wickedly
believed me. (Merriment and cheering.) I
told you that you could secede in peace.—
You foolishly believed that also. Now look
at the result—your young men slain by thous
ands, .ybtir.land filled with cripples,'your fields
laid waste, your dwellings burned, your staves
emancipated and yourself and your friends
reduced to beggary. Behold now, I bring
von . a peace offering. (Great laughter and
applause.) Confess yourself a vile traitor,
disfranchise and disgrace yourself, and all
who acted with you, for all time to come, and
in return we will allow Parson Brownlow,
Hnnnicut, and that class of virtuous patriots,
to elect themselves to Congress, and, ia cbns
junction with the negroes, that they shall
hereafter rule over you. (Cheers.) Astound
ing magnanimity! Did the world ever before
witness such generosity on the part of a brave
people toward a fallen foe? Suppose tbe war
had resulted differently—suppose the rebels
had taken Washington, and having established
their own government over the entire land,
bad said to the North: You have burned our
houses, destroyed our crops and impoverished
our people ; we are willing you should be rep
resented in Congress, but it must be upon
condition that you adont an amendment to
the Constatiffion disfranchising forever al! who
fought against the Sonth. What would have
been the result? Why, Greeley would not
have been disfranchised — (laughter) — nor
Thad. Stevens, nor Wendell Phillips, tor they
are non-combatants. (Continued laughter.)
Even Ben. Butler would have escaped—(great
ladghtef and cheering)—for youf* remember
he was “bottled up” and couldn’t fight. But
there are others who would have been affected
by it, and among the number are Grant, and
Sherman, and Thomas, and Sheridan, Farragat
and Porter! (A voice—“And Slocum! S!o-
cum T ^Slocum!” Cheers.) And all the real
soldiers and sailors under them. What vtould
have been the reply of the veterans of out
armv to 3uch a proposal emanating from Jeff'.
Davis? (“That’s it!”) They would have re
plied, “ We fought in a cause we believe just;
we have lost—we will submit to any just laws
vou may make; Put when you ask us to be
come our own executioners—'o aid in disfran
chising and forever disgracing our trusted
leaders, we have but one answer to make.—
Awav with your olive branch ; you may driie
us to” foreign lands, but you cannot compel us
to put the knife to the throats of our compan
ions in suffering.” (Cheers.) And this, I
think, i3 about the answer you will get from
the South, for I hare found brave men are
much alike the world over. (Loud cheering.)

The Constitutional Amendment before
tbe Georgia Legislature.
Milledgeville, November. 9.
The matter of most interest to-day has been
the action of the two Houses upon the proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States. The committees on the State of the
F.epuLUe, acting as a joint committe, made a
report, concluding with the recommendation of
the following resolution:
“ Resohed,' That the Legislature of. Georgia
declines fo ratify the proposed amendment
adding a fourteenth article to the Constitution
of the United States.” . ,.
In the Senate the vote was rmanimoe's in
favor of the resolution. In the House of Rep
resentatives it was nearly so, the vote being
132 to 2. The nays were Messrs. Ellington of
Gilmer, and Umphrey of Fannin. At the re
quest of the Speaker, Mr. Hardeman, he was
permitted to have his vote recorded in favor of
the resolution.
The report of the committee has not yet
been printed. It is a most able document,
presenting a calm, lucid and masterly argu
ment. The committee in the outset express
doubts as to the propriety of discussing the
amendment at all. They take the gound that
it. is without the authority of the Constitution.
Waiving this view, however, the report states
that the argument resolves itself into a few
simple propositions:
1. If Georgia is not a State composing a part
of tire Federal Govemmen, known as the Gov
ernment of the United Suites, amendments to
the Constitution of the United States are not
properlv before this !«>iy.
2' If Georgia is a State, composing a part of
the Federal Government, known as the Gov
ernment of the U. States, then the-e amend
ments are not proposed according to the re
quirements of the Federal Constitution, and
are proposed in such a manner as forbid the
House from discussing the merits of the amend
ment without an implied surrender of fhe
rights of the State.”
A Prophect.—As early as 1839, Mr. Clay, in
the Senate, thus spoke of the Abolition party,
which is now evidently the Black Republican
party, only that the former were content in
steaiing'negroes, while the latter insist on their
equality:
“ With them the rights of property are noth
ing ; the deficiency of the powers of the Gen
eral Government are nothing: the acknWledg
