From Morris and WILU’ Hotn<- Journal
A POEM FOR THE TIMES.
Every subscriber of the flame Journal knows
that we have never entered into any political dis
cussions, Lor taken part in any of the agitating
topics of the’dav, ad we do not intend t do so
now ; but the following 01 igiualand beautiful lines,
from the pen of Mrs. Kmiliuc S.Smith—one of the
most gilted of our lady contributors—which bears
upon these things, we trust will not be considered
“1 reasonable’’ by any party ! l’ondvr it well, rea
der, lor it is full of truth and meaning :
TIIE SISTERS.—AN ALLEGORY.
“ My daughters,” said a dying man,
“ My daughters, voting and fuir,
Ye’ve grown in every loveliness,
And well repaid my care ;
But yon must lose this guidance now
List, then, a y latest prayer.
“ Oh ! live as ve have always lived,
In unity and love ;
Be to each other kind and true,
And gentle as tiie dove ;
Thus sIihII my spirit bless ye still,
From its far home above.”
The good man died as he had lived—
With soul serenely grand ;
And left, to sorrow o’er his loss,
That fair, bright household band—
The loveliest sisterhood that e’er
Graced any age or laud.
Awhile they lived in union sweet;
Awhile they kept unstained
That golden heritage of love
Which from their sire they gained ;
Awhile, in all their happy hearts,
Sweet Bence and Concord reigned.
How beautiful those sisters were,
Linked by such holy ties!
Men caire from far and near, to view
Their charms with wondering eyes;
And star crowned angels smiling kept
Watch o'er them in the skies.
As years went by—alas ! alas!
That such a thing should be!
A change came o’er that happy band,
A change most sad to see—
Sad us the blight that Eden’s bowers
Received at Heaven’s decree.
It was a little thing at first,
That wrought the grievous ill;
A little thing—it alwuys is,
For hearts are mysteries still,
And “trifles light as air” can oft
Their inmost pulses thrill.
“ Why do you wear your former fringe
Upon your garment yet?”
’Twas thus an el ter sister spoke,
As she a younggr met—
“ I hate the fashion ; change it, pray,
For oue that I have set.”
“ I wore it in my father’s time,”
The younger maid replied,
“ And nil that he approved is still
My pleasure and my pride ;
Yet had your boon been kindly asked,
Your plan I might have tried.”
From such a small beginning, mark
How dark and wild a close!
One angry word engendered more,
Till scorpion broods arose ;
And those fond sisters— loud as fair—
Became like deadly foes !
Now Hatred lights his baleful torch
At every Hashing eve ;
Now bitter words, from lip to lip,
Like poisoned arrows fly ;
And, in this warfare, heaven-born peace
And loving kindness die.
One sister taketb part’ with that,
Another joins with this;
Their looks are like the lightning’s stroke,
Ttietr voice nice serpents mss;
Till all, by swift degrees, have fallen
From their pure state of bliss.
Alt! ne’er was sadder vision seen
Beneath the sun’s glad light!
Tiie household of the whole wide earth
Look on it with affright;
And pitying angels veil their eyes
To shut it out from sight.
Oh, pray! ye men most wise and good,
As ne’er ye prayed before,
That Heaven, to this misguided hand,
May harmony restore,
And link their hearts in love again,
As they were linked of yore!
Short Sermon on (he Oront divis
ion of Spoil.
“ Behold the day cometh to Jehovah, and thy
spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee, and
then I will gather all nations together to battle
against thee.”—Zkch. xiv.
This we believe, by unimpeachable logic,
describes the l iiited States, just before
“the battle of the great day of God Al
mighty, ’’ In explaining this text, we may
be permitted to say that some years ago we
took position that when liberty should rise
in Italy, and when commotions should shake
the Turkish tlirone / that about that time,
or from 18515 to 18(50 and 1805, the United
States would give symtoms of that division
of spoil which immediately precedes the war
of Armageddon. Some of our words xx r ere :
“ Our pillars, too, will bend ;
Our destiny seem o’er;
Our Union seem to end,
And discord rule the hour.”
The verification of our views is before the
eyes of Europe and Ameiica; and yet we
are no prophet; we merely interpret, by
fixed rule, the prophecy of God. Yet xvlio
will not scorn us for this visionary work?—
But to our text.
I. The day comath. This refers to the
period when God intends to settle the rights
and relations of races, in order to establish
thereby the final pacification of the world
—“ For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem,”
to briug men to beat their swords to plough
shares. Zion, here, is the civil power, and
Jerusalem the religious—both the fctate and
the Church must publish and enforce the
law of races, and the law r of religion per
taining to each, before peace prevails among
men.
11. Division of spoil. The word for spoil
is shelel. It means, “wealth or gain as the
result of labor.” The word Peley, or divi
ded, signifies to divide in shares or parts
evenly. The term Begereb signifies in the
midst. , middle or inner part. It also means
battle or war. The text may then be : “Thy
property or inheritance shall be divided iu
the middle, or by xvar.”
This text applies to restored Israel, and
to that part of it caljed “the tents of Judah
first restored.” This Judah, when united,
could defy the world, but, divided, invites
forei e n conquest. Our country is this Ju
dah : its spoil is now being divided in the
middle of the land, and perhaps by war.—
We dread disaster at home, in view of this
division ; we have not paused to anticipate
that darker eloud, that more terrible collision,
so certain from all nations abroad. Our di
vision is a .sign of the final war, and is ex
pressly named as such by Jehovah. In view
of this dire and impending calamity, arc we
ready for division ? are we prepared for its
consequences? Can there not bean adjust
ment that will admit a little delay ? We
believe that such a pause will occur; we
feel authorized to claim it; but the full set
tlement of the issue between ns will follow
“the times “f trouble yet to come.
Old Israel, divided, was conquered aud
ruined \ and when we divide we will be
partly conquered and partly ruined. This
leads us to another part of our text.
111. The taking of the city. “The city
shall be taken.” From our commercial
character, we, a3 a people, are always un
prepared for invasion, and at the first onset
easily succumb to any great force suddenly
thrown upon us. We may expect to be in
vaded by all monarchy when we are divided,
because such division will naturally invite
our natural foes 10 attack and destroy us.
When the land gives way to the foe, we
learn that other fearful calamities will fol
low ; for “the houses shall be rifled and the
women ravishedthat is, we shall be
spoiled of both property and honor.
Again : “ One-half of the city shall go
forth into captivity.”
Old Israel, when divided, was invaded by
“the destroyer of nations,” and one half
went into captivity. So will it be with one
section of our country. Which section will
be made captive, or be utterly disorganized,
is a serious question. It may be the North
ern half; it may be the Southern; but
most likely that section which is divided
against itself, as the South seems likely to
be; yet, its the North lies most convenient
to attack, it may be that section.
“ The residue shall not be cut off from
the city.” That is, one portion of the peo
ple, though subdued, will not be disorgan
ized—they will abide as a unit.
IV. The re-union. This is implied in the
words, “then shall the Lord go forth and
light against those nations as when he
fought in the day of battle.” When by
our division we become a vanquished people
we will repent our mutual folly and pride,
and haste to compromise all our past diffi
culties. Brought to the verge of utter de
struction, we will return to fraternal em
brace, aud adjust, the difficulty causing our
severance, upon the Divine law of the rights
of races. To this the North will never fully
consent until scourged into it, either by do
mestic grief or foreign devastation.
CONCLUSION.
This prophecy is of God. The division
of our country may be healed before the
great battle, by civil compromise ; and we
have faith, strong faith, that such will be the
case. Vet, as a religious doctrine has been
the radical cause of our division, the relig
ious re union will not occur till the war ot
Armageddon, by verifying prophecy, com
pels the assent of all parties to the law of
Noah as the political law of God for the
whole world. The ancient division of Israel
was not its dissolution ; it, however, pre
pared the way for its captivity, its repen
tance, re union and return. So will our
division, also, operat before we agree to
obey Divine law". There are terrible times
before us soon, unless w r e pause and settle
our controversy : no better sign of the near
approach of Armageddon has ever been on
the horizon than our present troubles. —
You did not believe “Armageddon ;” you
will not believe it; but unless you pause
and make peace, Armageddon will make it
lor you ; it is the. only thing that will make
full peace, on the question of races, in the
end. If disunion comes, then let him that,
hath no sword sell his garment and buy one
for the great battle of nations; if the pres
ent division is adjusted, yet it still remains
a sign, a banner on the breeze of the on
coming storm. Dominion.
Letter from IVr. Hill.
The Augusta Chronicle ami Sentinel of
the 29th, says : The following letter from
Mr. llill, although written on the 19th,
was post-marked at Milledgeville on the
27th, and came to hand yesterday morning,
lienee the delay in publishing it:
Milledgeville, Jan. 19th, 1861.
My Dear Sir —The deed is done. Geor
gia this day left the Union. Cannon have
been firing and bells tolling. At this mo
ment people are tilling the streets, shouting
voiciferonsly. A large torchlight procession
is moving from house to house, and calling
out speakers. The resolution declaratory
passed on yesterday, and similar sceues were
enacted last night. The crowd called loudly
for me, but my room was dark, my heart
was sad, and my tongue was silent. Who
ever may be in fault is not now the question.
Whether by the North, or by the South, or
by both, the fact remains; our Union has
fallen. The most favored sons of freedom
have written a page in history which despots
will read to listening subjects for centuries
to come, to prove that the people are not
capable of self-government. How can 1
think thus, and feel otherwise than badly ?
Do not understand me as intimating a be
lief that we cannot form anew Union on the
basis of the old Constitution. We can do
it, and ice will. That point we have secured
as far as Georgia can secure it, and her will
on that subject will be the pleasure of her
sister seceders. But can we form one with
more inspiring hopes of perpetual life than
did W ashington and his comrades ? Despots
will say no; and therefore, if the first Union
lived only seventy-three years, how long will
the next live, and the next, and still the
next, until anarchy come ! It will take an
liuudred years of successful, peaceful, free
Government to answer the logic of this ar
gument against Constitutional liberty.
Nevertheless, for one, l am willing to be
gin that reply, and that too, in all sincerity
and earnestness. You know it has always
been my opinion, that our people would
never submit to the rule of a President chosen
on the sectioual anti-slavery dogmas of the
Republican party. For one section to elect
rulers for another kcctiou, on an avowed
principle of haired to the most important
interests of that sectiou, whether so intended
or not, was a movement, in its philosophy,
of subjugation, and the descendants of Hu
guenots and Cavaliers will be exterminated
rather than submit to it. My great fear
was that the disruption would be so hasty,
passionate and violent, that actual war might
result, and great damage ensue to our people,
which a different policy might avert. There
fore, I did appeal loudly for prudence and
moderation in firmness, and for a settlement,
if it could be had on proper terms. When
I saw the disunion chariot at the top of a
great descent, and every charger fiery and
restless, I did call out to the reins-men to
pull the reins and press on the brakes, lest
we all be dashed to pieces. We are at the
bottom now—came down swiftly. The ex
tent of the damage is not yet known. The
ascent beyond is high, the way seems to
wiud, and the end is ntft. exactly iu view ;
but we cannot (urn round; we van get uo
sunshine except at the summit, and, there
fore I feel it in my heart already to cry out
more earnestly than ever —let us all up and
tor nard.
The position of our State has been taken.
Let the announcement of the vote be the
knell of our divisions. Let us bury and for
get the past, and live in and for the futme.
In spite of any foe, we can be great and
prosperous beyond prececdunt, if in unity
and under God, u-e trill it.
Your friend, I>. 11. Hill.

INVESTIGATIONS OF THE V. S. GRAND JURY.
11l spite of the efforts of the Police au
thorities to prevent the shipment of arms
and other war munitions to the South, not a
steamer has le.'t this port, since public atten
tion was call to the subject, without carrying
more or less of these materials.
The instructions recently issued to the po
lice require them to keep a watchful eye on
all vessels about sailing for Southern ports,
and to notify the Superintendent whenever
any arms, cartridges, or other articles con
traband of war are discovered going on board.
Tn order to evade this espionage of the police,
these shipments are always deferred until
almost the last moment of the vessel’s hour
of departure. The goods are then hurried
dowM to the pier, the shipper gives a wink
to the Purser, and perhaps a quarter each to
the stevedores, when the boxes of “ Hard
ware” arej speedily hoisted onboard, the |
fasts are let go, or cid and the guns have— I
yon# off. Meantime the police, who have
observed the movements, have been occupied
in transmitting intelligence to the Superin
tendent of police, and receiving the necessa
ry orders to act.
In this manner a large quantity of arms
were yesterday supposed to have been ship
ped to Savannah by the steamer Montgomery ,
Capt. Berry, one of H. B. Cromwell & Co.’s
steamers. About 2i o’clock I*. M. half an
hour previous to the time of departure of the
above steamer, one of the officers attached
to the steamboat squad saw a cart contain
ing six boxes, resembling those used for
transporting musket3, go upon the pier (No.
12) aud unload opposite the Montgomery's
gangway. Hastening to the Station-house
iu Broad-street, near the Custom-house, he
telegraphed to the Superintendent of police,
informing him of the circumstance, aud ask
ing if any action should be taken. It was
some ten minutes before the answer was re
ceived ; which, however, was sufficiently ex
plicit, and wns as follows :
ORDF.R.
“ Seize all fire-arms that may be found
going on board of the Savannah steamer at
Pier No. 12 North Itiver.”
With these instructions the officer pro
ceeded to notify others of the Police, and in
a few r moments a dozen officers were on their
way to the pier. Their movements, which
were not particularly slow, or graduated
strictly by military rules, attracted attention,
and the inquiry ran through the street,
What’s up?” On went the Police, “ skelp
ingit” through slush aud snow, while a train
of curious persons followed them, anxious to
know the cause of the excitement.
On arriving at the dock, the shrill whist
ling of the steam as it escaped from the well
charged boiler of the Montgomery, and the
movements upon her deck, indicated that
she-was just ready to depart. Some of the
Police stationed themselves at the posts
which held the fasts of the steamer, while
to the number of some half a dozen,
mounted the sides of the vessels, and imme
diately began reconnoitering the bold; il
possible to discover the contraband muskets.
By this time the Captain discovered the
presence of the police examining among bis
freight, when he called out to know what
they were doing down there ? Sergeant
Wemyss, of the First Precinct, answered
that they were iu search of “ those muskets.”
Capt. Berry directed them to go ashore, and
instantly gave orders to the men on the deck
“ to let go the fasts.”
At this juncture one of the party suggest
ed they should arrest the engineer, but that
officer, probably bearing the word passed,
put himself beyond reach. At the same in
stant the Captain repeated the order to “east
off the hawser.” “ I can’t do it,” shouted
the sailor on dock; “ the policeman won’t
let me.” “ Brini here the ax,” shouted the
Captain to the second mate, “ and cut away
these fasts !” No quicker said than done,
the officer cut the forward fast, and then
came running aft with the ax in his hand,
and only awaited a repetition of the order.—
“ Cut away the hawser, I tell you,” when
two or three quick, but careful, blows of im
plement severed the fasts. The Captain,
whose hand was on the engine signal, rang
the bell, and the propeller began immediate
ly to turn.
“ All ashore, Police !” shouted the officers
on the dock to their companions iu the
steamer’s hold, who, taking the hint, now
scrambled quickly on deck and jumped ashore,
as the vessel moved off. At (his the speeta
tors on the pier set up a derisive shout of
laughter, and the officers, satisfied with hav
ing exerted themselves to the utmost to car
ry out their instructions, prepared to return
to their respective posts of duty.
Capt. Berry appeared considerably excited
at the irruption of the Police on his vessel,
and interlarded his orders and conversation
with numerous uautyeal phrases. He threat
ened, with a terrible oath, that he would,
carry the policemen to Savaunab—a trip
which would, no doubt, have been aggree
able, though their receptiou there might
uot have been so hospitable.
WHAT Mil. CROMWELL SAID.
Mr. H. B. Cromwell, who was on the pier
and witnessed the proceedings, met the po
licemen going away, and addressed them
nearly as follows :
“ 1 understand Mr. Kennedy seized those
muskets on the Monticelfo, in order to pre
cipitate a crisis ; I will tell him that if he
don’t stop interfering with our vessels he
will precipitate the crisis sooner than he ex
pects it he will be precipitated out of office ”
Policeman —We are obeying orders, Mr.
Cromwell, and it does not become you toad
dress us in that way. You should talk to
the Superintendent.
Mr. Cromwell —You’ll find that obeying
orders in this case may break owners; you’ve
heard of that, perhaps, and I wish you would
tell your master so.
Here the conversation dropped, and the
parties separated.

Se*essiou=*lt3 Slew Phase and Rc
suits.
In a few days the secession movement
will enter on anew phase. After the seces
sion of Georgia, which is to take place in a
few days, the States that have declared them
selves out of the Union are to form anew
Southern Confederation, and elect a Presi
dent and Vice-President pro tan. This
done, the new federation is to despatch min
isters to foreign powers, with instructions
to negotiate treaties. To receive them would
be to acknowledge the success of the revo
lution. A revolution which is not opposed
by force, or to what force ceases to bo op
posed, is generally accepted as a fait accom
j>li. But so long as the Federal Govern
ment holds posesion of the forts in the se
ceding States, the revolution cannot, in the
international view, be regarded as complete.
England and France can no more recognize
the independence of the Southern republic
while Fort Sumter and other forts are held
by the Federal Government, than they
could recognize Victor Emanuel King of
Naples, before Gaeta was capitulated. I
the Southern Confederation could send dip
lomatic agents to Europe, able to show that
the Federal Government had lost its hold
on these States; that it had evacuated the
forts and was making no preparations for
their re-oecupation, they would most likely
be received and treated with. But they will
not be able to show this; and it is highly
improbable that any nation will be willing
to assume as accomplished a revolution of
which the success is still doubtful.
* * There is nothing in the circum
stances of the Southern revolution to recom
mend the new confederation to the sympathy
of Europe. Trade interests are strong, no
doubt; but even here the argument tells
both ways. If cotton is indispensable to
England, the trade of the Northern States
is a vast item in the commerce of that coun
try • and to endanger the latter for the pur
pose of obtaining the former is a policy that
is not likely to be entered upon. There was
a time when Englaud desired the disruption
of the American Union, and intrigued to
bring it about; but that time has passed,
and the whole moral influence of that coun
ty will now he used to prevent a result
which, at one period in the history of the
United States, would have hailed with de
light.
Canada, not having a distinct nationality,
cannot be formally asked to recognize the
new confederation. But we have. commer
cial interests staked on the issue. W e have
a leading interest iu the maintenance of the
Reciprocity Treaty j and every State that is
taken from the Union restricts the operation
of the treaty to that, extent. If the British
Americans looked at what is going on in
the Southern States, from a purely selfish
point of view, perhaps they might find some
compensation for their regrets, inadequate
though it should be, at the breaking up of
one of the few governments of which the
world can boast. British America will
some day become a nation ; and there will
come the question of a balance of power on
this continent. Alongside a colossal power
like the United States, we should be liable
to be snubbed and bullied and invaded,
whenever such a course of conduct was dic
tated by our strong neighbor. If the United
States split into two nations, the basis of a
safer equilibrium would be laid ; and a third
great power in North America —we cannot
count much on Mexico—would not only be
come possible but necessary. But, strong
as the temptation may seem, we do not look
at the question in this light. We only re
gret that a great nation which is making a
great experiment in self-government, should
even seem to fail in the attempt.
Prescription for tlie Times.
Head the Bible before you look into the
morning papers. The soul can’t live on
sensation dispatches : the bread of heaven
is better for its health than telegrams. Os
political talk, and of crisis, you will have
enough anywhere, and to surfeit. Seek the
company of those who fear the Lord, and
think upon his name. Make the most of
evCTy religious conversation. Lose no op
portunity of assembling with those whose
conversation is in heaven : you need it just
now. Use the means of grace diligently,
or you will be swept away by the current
that is bearing all things upon its bosom.—

The way to get Wealthy. —Never was
money so scarce everybody says, and every
body, we believe, is justified in making the
remark. Silver may be plentiful in bank,
gold may be plentiful in Fraser river, but
neither can be picked up along the streets
by men too indolent to work, or women too
extravagant to study economy. They will
now discern that
“ ’Tie a very good world that we live iu,
To lend, or to spend, or*to give in ;
But to beg, or to borrow, or to get a naan’s own,
’Tis the very worst world that ever was known.’’
The proverb is an old one, but just as appli
cable to our times as those of our ancestors.
Poverty has not much credit in bank parlors,
though wealth is frequently less reliable,
unless accompanied by honest principle. —
The only thing to be depended upon in these
days is industry. That is the best financial

humblest customers. That’s our opinion of
the matter. — Old Jonathan.
