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 & Sentinel. T HARD WARE.

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.

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.

[LARS, JONES ft CR., 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.'

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.)

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 J.
