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.

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. From the Journal of Commerce.

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. It may not be amiss to remind the author!

From the Toronto ( C IU.) Leader. 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.

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 institution. It never fails. Abstemious ness and frugality are the best bankers.— They allow a handsome interest, and never dishonor a draft drawn on them by their humblest customers. That’s our opinion of the matter. — Old Jonathan.
