How I came there is no matter to you, Enough that the story I tell you is true ; No pledges are broken no secrets betrayed; For no promise of secrecy ever was made; So quiet your fears, all is proper and right, I saw it myself—this wonderful sight— So listen to what—hut be sure you don’t tell— I saw in the room of the blue stocking belle. I opened the door with a timorous air—) An every-day mortal, what right had I there? Hut a chance to look into the innermost shrine Of Genius and beauty !—ah! who would decline? My eye, though not weary, first rested its gaze On the bofa ! and something akin to amaze Filled my breast, that one poor iiltle sofa should bear Such a store of remarkable things as were there. A dainty white wrapper, with facings of blue, A soiled undersleeve, and a partly worn shoe, A volume ofWaverly, three pair of Gloves, Two girdles; a picture, “The Basket of Love,” A pile of w hite petticoats, ruffled and fluted (Your pardon, dear ladies, no other name suited) An afternon dresR, of the color called “cuir,” And a thin grenadine that was certainly “dear,” A scarf of illusion, an opera bonnett, A fragment of paper, six lines of a sonnet, hour yards of pink ribbon, six old magazines, A forty spring patent, (you know what that means,) I may have missed some, jbut the things that I mention Were those that first caught the intruder’s atten tion. The toilet came next into notice. I think; Hung with soft snowy lace, with a lining of pink— This shrine was devoted to Beauty, sweet elf— Poor Genius must hunt for a shrine for herself. There were bottles of perfume and jars of po made ; ‘•The breath of sweet clover that’s mown in the shade," Gilt boxes of powder, a few strings of pearls, A bunch of moss roses, a cluster of curls, A waterfall, hung with iuvisible net, A golden link bracelet, enameled with jet, A velvet bandeau, of the loveliest blue, A silver-winged Cnpid, “The Wahderir.g Jew,” A gossamer handkerchief, bordered with lace, A biack satin slipper, Bohemian vase, A note that began with “My darling,” some flowers, That on her white bosom had spent their last hours, A fan, a French corset, a tiny white glove Were reflected e» masse m the mirror above.

The next thing I saw was the lace curtained beds And the pillow where nestled the blue stocking’s head, ’Twas trilled and ’twas fluted, and dainty to see, But that head was the loveliest picture to me. Her hair was not golden, nor yet was it brown, But the beauties of both gemmed her womanly crown. And the soft tresses fell on her bosom below, As a golden edged cloud on the unsullied snow, One rosy lined ear, like a shell of the sea, Half buried iu foam, halfastrand on the lea, And bearing one gem from the ocean’s deep caves, Peeped roguishly out from those bright silky waves; Her blue eyes were closed—the twin heavens were hid— Death's sister had kissed down each delicate lid And hung over her pillow a rainbow of dreams That will lighten some heart with their roseate beams. Ah! how can one chide her—this child of the soul, Or seek her free spirit to bind or control ? Though double her faults, and more wayward her will, The charms of her mind over balance them still, Write her sins upon parchment, the great and the small, One page ot her poetry covers them all. Oh how she will scold if she hears what Iv'e said! Her vengeance will not leave a curl on my head ; But if she dou’t know it—why, then, “it is well,” And remember, dear public, you’re never to tell! Gen. Henry A. Wise delivered an ad dress some days ago in Richmond, to his former comrades in arms—the “Blues.* Among other things the General said : “It always made him feel sorry when he heard despondent young men talking about going away to other countries, de serting their old mother Commonwealth, when she has the sorest need for the ser vices of her sons. As for himself, he would live and labor, and die by her, and be buried in her maternal bosom. He had heard some young men talk flippantly about the prospect of a foreign war, such as might result between the United States and France, in regard to Mexico, in which event they said they would take sides with the enemy. Let such spurn such an idea from their thoughts, as uuworthy of American citizens. Neither did he unite with those who whispered the hope that they would live to see the day when the country would be precipitated into anoth er revolution. It is idle; the man who talks of further resistance is a fool / As for myself, I pray God to spare the country another war—especially a civil war. Boys, take hack the old flag of your forefathers. You have looked upon its folds, floating from the battlements of the enemy’s works until you have come to hate it ! Take it back, it’s the only flag 3’ou have now. 1 never hated the old flag; I never fought against it ! I loved it when young like yourselves; I love it now, and I will yield to no man living in the earnestness and sincerity of his love for the old 6tarry flag. You, my young friends, can make we old men happy yet before we go, (turning to Messrs. Tomp kins and Bigger.) Go to work; perfect your organization; be good loyal and use ful citizens, and labor for the prosperity of your State, and her restoration to her ancient glory and renown. fl5 16 J7 18 19 2021 22 23 24 25,26.27,28! 29 30, I 1 I ]! % 3 1 4' 51 6 7 x 9,10 11 12 Nova 13 14 15 16 17 18 19; 20 21 22 23-24 25 26 27 28.29 30 31) , j 1 J 1 2 3 t ilO 1112 13 It.15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 2125 26 27 28 29 30 CO., the SAYANAAH DAILY HERALD, Published by S.

All day the stormy wind has blown From off the dark and rainy sea; No bird lias pest the window flown, The only song lias been the moan The wind made in the willow tree.

Our income should belike our shoes; if too small, they gall and. pinch us, but, if too large, they will cause us to stumble and to trip. But wealth, after all, is a relative thing, since he that has little and wantsless is richer than he that has much, but wants more. True content ment depends upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander. "NEW GOODS! YEW GOODS!!

Tom Corwin used to tell a story about a liorse jockey in Lebanon, Ohio, who had a rule “nevcr|to lend a man a dollar unless lie would put down two Spanish milled dollars as security.” The jockey’s three rules for life, however, were : first, “never refuse to drink with a man, because it wont cost you anything,” second, ‘nevdr ask a man to drink, because it will cost you something, and might load the man into bad habits,’ third, ‘never mind what happens’ so long as it don’t happen to y°«- ' j^Fred. Douglass got off a very good thing recently at the expense of Henry Ward Beecher. Said he : I remember that, not many years ago, he declared that if he could abolish slave ry on the instant or by waiting twenty- five years, could have it so abolished that its overthrow would wholly redound to glory of the Christian church, be* would prefer the latter.

C., ) January 26, 1S66. j My Dear Sir:—Your lettpr of the 3d inst. was forwarded to me from Lexington, Va. I have delayed answer for a few days, hoping to receive thepapei in which you referred, but it lias not yet reached me, and I have not yet had the pleasure of reading your editorial ; hut, judging from the remarks in your le;ter, I suppose it is a similar publication to what has recently appeared in many of the news papers, representing the family of General Jackson as suffering for the necessities of life, and appealing to the public for their relief. It is a source of deep regret and morti fication to me, and to my family and friends, that such a misunderstanding should exist in regard to my circumstances. It is true, that almost the whole of my little fortune has been swept away. My noble husband, actuated by patriotism, invested in Confederate bonds, to assist the government, and I, following his ex ample, the consequence was the loss of nearly the whole of his estate ; but God has still left to me one of the kindest of fathers, who has the means of prDviding all the comforts of life for me and my orphan child. The pecuniary sufferings of others in our afflicted land have been so much greater than my own, that, in this respect, I have only need of a more thank ful heart. And I, of all others, should have no fears for the future ; for the cove nant-keeping God of my husband has watched over us heretofore, and the love of this great people to me and my little child, on his account, fills my heart with grateful joy. While it is one of the greatest comforts of my desolated life to see the many beau tiful and eloquent tributes *o the memory of my beloved husband, and while I would gratefully accept any offerings that are voluntarily given as testimonials of love and gratitude to him, yet the contributions that are now called for are given under a false impression, and it is inconsistent with my ideas of honor and rectitude to receive them. I would, therefore, beg that all efforts that are made to raise a fund for my “relief,” both in Charleston and else where, be immediately stopped. With thanks to the warm-hearted and generous citizens of Charleston fjor their kind feelings towards me and mine, I remain yours very truly, Mary Ann Jackson. Geo. R. Cathcart, Ed.

We own our life—first, through the favor of God ; second, to a remarkable exemption from all epidemic, infectious and contagious dis eases; third, to regular and abstemious habits; fourth, to a clear conscience; fifth to the fact that we did not happen to get jn the route of a bullet or a cannon ball du ring the war, and, “finally, but not exhaus tively;” for the reason that we have not heretofore died. The “clemency” of which the correspondent speaks, we sup pose, was exercised because of our extra ordinary merits and enterprise. Believ ing that Republican government was a good thing, we endeavored to make two out of one, under the impression that the more of a good thing the better. We fail ed, but the Government thought it but justice to give us a certificate of the fact that we did make the effort. And that is what the Journal's correspondent calls “clemency.” How absurd!—Louisville Courier. Darkey. 1 From the Columbus Sun, Feb. 13. NLGBO SOLDIER SHOT. An affair occurred yesterday after noon about 6 o’clock which all regret, but which could not have been avoid ed. From what we can learn from witnesses, both from white and black, it seems that two young men were going down Broad street, when direct lv opposite the store of A. Crane & Co., a few doors below the burnt dis trict on Broad street, when they were met by negro soldiers, who to all ap pearances purposely ran against one of them. The gentleman remarked, ‘you had better run over me,’ or words to that effect, when the negro commen ced cursing him most bitterly, for a “son of a bitch,” a “rascal,” and us ing the most insulting language. The gentleman did his best to avoid a dif ficulty, telling the negro to go away, and walking off slowly. At last the negro asserted he had put hundreds ike him under the ground and started to draw a bayonet, when the gentle man shot him three times. The ne gro with his bayonet in his hand and still cursing, tottered to the shanties on the corner. He was carried to the barracks, and, we are informed, died in a few minutes. The gentleman who fired the shot. be Mr. Cooper Lindsay, young is alleged to one of our best and bravest men. He fearing the vengeance of the troops, fled, pursued by a squad of the negro soldiers, one of whom fired at him at Gunby’s corner. This ne gro was arrested and carried by the civil authorities to the guard house, but was afterwards conducted to the barracks by Mayor Wilkins. Mr. L. escaped, and so did the gentleman who was with him, said to he Mr. Hub Rutherford. Two negro soldiers came to the scene of shooting with muskets, cursing furiously, but were ordered back by officers. They obeyed, but went hack in the same style, and one tried to strike a white man with a musket but was prevented. A collision between the whites and blacks at one time was greatly feared, as there was much excitement. The. officers, however, ordered all the col ored troops to the barracks. The of ficers used their best endeavors to avoid all difficulty, and promised that citi zens should be unmolested. A gentleman, Mr. Sol. Crew, while walking along quietly at Duran’s cor ner after the shooting, was knocked down by a musket in the hands of a negro soldier. Afterwards several shots were fired from the barracks in Bank’s building. In the excitement, Mr. B. Ledbet ter, while in the crowd, was accident ly shot in the leg by a glancing ball. The shot was not from a negro. The negroes were confined barracks last night, and after o’clock all was quiet. The officers of the garrison here have, we believe, tried to avoid diffi culties and have everything go on pleasantly; but a large majority of the negro soldiers have done all in their power to provoke trouble, and have sought difficulties. We presume the affair will be invest igated this morning, and that both gentlemen will appear. Siuce writing the above, we learn that Major Warner, formerly of the Naval Iron Works, who was walking on the opposite side of the street, was shot in the leg by a ball fired from one of the windows of the barracks in Banks’ building. His leg was ampu tated above the kuee a short time af ter, by Drs. Foard, Stanford and oth ers. These shots were perfectly inex cusable. to the seven The Opinion of a Petersburg —“Wish Mass Lincnm had done keep his All’, needier were my wave, a..o x . freedom.

They tell a story in New London, Conn., , which runs thus : ‘‘A green grocer In Gro-1 ton sent his clerk to New London one mor- 1 ning last summer with a bag of green corn to dispose of. The young man was gone all day; and at night returned with his bag of green corn on his shoulder, and dumped it on the floor, with the remark ; “There’s | your green corn, go and sell it yourself— i can’t” “Why 1” said the grocer, “hav en’t you sold any.’* ‘Sold any ? No,” said he, “I’ve been all over Now London with it, and nobody said anything about any green corn.

A frnit house, re cently built at an expense of 850,000, was blown to destruction by an explosion of gas, which had filled the air tight hall in the building. A workman with a light in his hand bad just opened the door when the gas ignited, causing a terrific shock,and shattering the heavy walls. The doors of the apple bins, which are made of oak, eight inches in thickness, and lined on both sides with heavy sheet-iron, were wrench ed from then hinges and torn into many pieces. The iron door was also torn up and the bins completely wrecked. Ma ny buildings iu the vicinity was shaken. • he fruit bouse belonged to Robert and Richard Colwell and A. D. Smalley, of Newport. The damage to the budding will amount to about $20,000. Li»l mf Arl« amtl Resolutions signed by the Governor. 1.
