Benighted once where Alpine storms Have buried hosts of martial forms, Halting with fear, benumbed with cold, While swift the avalanches rolled, Shouted our guid, with quivering breath— “ The path is lost! —to move is death ! ” The savage snow-cliffs seemed to frown, The howling winds came fiercer down ; Shrouded in such a dismal scene, No mortal aid whereon to lean, Think you what music it was to hear, “I see the Cross !—our way is clear! ” We looked, and there, amid the snows, A simple cross of wood arose, Firm in the tempest’s awful wrath, It stood, to quide the traveler’s path, And point to where the valley lies. Serene beneath the summer skies. ’ GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. PASSED.

Children or Judge Douglas. A gentleman arrived in Washington a few days ago from North Carolina for the puspose of obtaining permission to carry to that State the two children of the late Senator Stephen A. Douglas. It appears that these boys are entitled to large estates in North Carolina and Mississippi, which under the recently law of the Confederacy, are in danger of confiscation on account of the non-residence of the children, although they are infants. The relatives cf their mother are anxious that they shall bebro't South to secure their rights in this proper ty. They desirous also, that Mrs. Douglas shall accompany them if she will consent. The government has recently concluded riot to grant passes to go beyond the lines the Federal army for such purposes, a3’’it intends to take such action as will rendter utterly null and void any of the confisca tions under the acts of the rebel usurpers of the authority in the Southern States. upon his wife's shoulder a large shawl-pin, Dr. Diggs said : “In the military, eh ?
