They sat and combed their beautiful hair,
Their long bright tretses one by oue,
As they laughed andjtalked in the chamber there,
After the revel was done.
Idly they talked of waltz and quidrille,
Idly they laughed like other girls,
Who ever the fire when all is still,
Comb out their braids and cui is.
Robes of satin and Brussels lace,
Knots of flowers and ribbons 100,
Scattered about in every place,
For the revel is through.
Maude and Madge in robes of white—
The prettiest nightgowns under the sun—
Stockingless, slipperier, sit in the night,
After the revel is done.
Sit and comb their beautiful hair—
Those wondrous waves of brown and gold
Till the fire is out in the chamber there,
Ami the little baie feet are cold.
Then out of the gathering winter chill,
All out of the bitter St. Agnes weather,
When the fire is out and the house is Btill,
Maude and Madge together ;
Maude and Madge in robes of white,
The prettiest nightgowns under the sun,
All curtained away from the chilly night,
Alter the revel was done;
Float along in a splendid dream,
To u golden giltern's tune,
While a thousand lustres shimmering stream,
In a palace's grand saloon ;
Flashing of jewels and flutter of laces,
Tropical odors sweeter than musk,
Men and women with beautiful faces,
Aud eyes of tropical dusk :
And one face shining out like a star,
One face haunting the dream oi each,
One voice sweeter than others are,
Breaking into silvery speech.
Telling through lips of beaided bloom,
The old, old story over again,
As through the royal bannered room,
To the golden gittern’s strain ;
Two and two they dreamily walk,
While an unseen spirit walks beside,
And all unheard in the lover’s talk,
He claimeth one for his bride.
0, Maude and Madge, dream on together,
Never a pang of jealous fear,
For ere the bitter St. Agues weather
Shall whiten another year;
Robed for the bridal aud robed for the tomb,
Braided brown hair and golden tress,
There w ill be only one of you left for the bloom
Os the bearded lips to press.
Only one for the bridal pearls,
Robe of satin and brussel lace,
Only one to blush through her curls
At the sight of a lover’s face.
0, beautiful Madge, in your bridal white,
The revel of life has just begun ;
But for her who sleeps in your arms to night,
The revel of life is done.
For robed and crowned in your saintly bliss,
Queen of heaven and bride of the sun,
0, beautiful Maude, you never will miss
The kisses another has won.

Oiiglil !li‘ atiou of Cotton
Im’ l*i'oliil>it‘d.
Mr. Editor : —ld its immediate practical
application, this question lias been disposed
of for the present. Hut it will arise again
in so many forms that it may not he amiss
to enquire into the principles that should
govern uur judgement in deciding it.
What is the purpose of the prohibition ? j
To force Europe to break the blockade,
and to stint the enemy in one of the neces
saries of life.
These aims are not consistent. Whether
the blockade be broken by us or by Europe,
cotton will thereafter become cheap abroad,
and the enemy will get it. But 1 presume
no one seriously means to maintain the block
ade for the purpose of distressing the eue-’
my. The desire is general that it shall
cease. We want supplies of clothing, blan
kest, arms, ammunition, shoes and other
necessaries. We want a market for cotton ;
for we know that, if the unconsumed crop of
this year be piled upon that of the next, the j
supply will be in ruinous excess. We want,
too, and non- —during the heat of the war
the beginnings of a foreign trade. The
Southern merchant neither knows nor is
known abroad. For half a century he has
done his business through a middle man,
who absorbing the lion’s share of the profit,
has held in his own keeping all the myste
ries of the trade. On the return of peace,
our trader will find the same devil at his
elbow, with the same tender of convenient,
costly service, and before we know it we arc
saddled again with the old routine of depen
dence. Now and only now, a direct and
independent Southern trade with Europe
can be inaugurated.
But why force Europe to break the block
ade ? Because we suppose we cannot do it
ourselves.
Is it certain that we cannot? Then in the
name of common sense, let us not fear to ex
port; far then Europe will not be released
from the inducement to help us. If on the
other hand, we can right ourselves, then wei
shall not need her help. What we can do,
we shall never know until we shall have
tried.
But, it is apprehended that, if we partial
ly succeeded and make things barely tolera
ble to Europe, she will resign herself and
abide the issue iu patience and long suffer
ing.
Os one thing we may be sure. The dis
tress of Europe from the want of our cottou ;
whether more, or whether less; whether
from no supply, or from a half supply ; is
more than she will couseut to bear for one
hour after she can clearly see her way out
of it. There’# the rub. She does not and
eannot see her way.
We of the South are, to Europe, an un
known and unexplored domain, a dark re
gion uuder the broad shadow of Yankeedom,
with only the one kuown attribute of ma
king much line cotton. Have we the requi
site intelligence ami social morale to form a
national organization ? Have w T e the spirit
and power of resistance to maintain it ? May
we be a dangerous enemy, or a helpless al
ly ? Europe does not know, any more than
a lady in her ball dress knows the constitu
tion of the worm that spun it.
One great victory we have achieved, but
a victory so vast as to tax credulity- Tbei
foreign world he ejeused for doubting’
whether the enemy was not defeated by his
own power. Our constant minor successes
are not heard of abroid. They get no mails
from us, and have less communication with
us at this moment than with the Island of
Japan. When we shall have forced commu
nication, pushed our trade, sent out our let
ters and papers across the water, proved the
blockade a sham, sold cotton aud bought
goods in the teeth of it; then Europe will
come to understand her game, and we shall
not long want her aid in crushing out a
common nuisance.
We delight to call cotton king. A sorry
figure we make of our king—checkmated in
a corner.
We affect disgust at the apathy of En
gland. Has she done less than we? She
has laid down a law under which the Feder
rl blockade must succomb whenever it shall
be tried. Shall we delibarately refuse to
bring it to the trial ? We have only to make
the ease and England is pledged to adjudi
cate it. Give only a fair opening to British
trading enteiprise, and two months will not
have passed before Great Britain will have
been forced into a collision with the Lincoln
tyranny.
There exists a vague fear of some device
of the enemy, by which our cotton shall go
out and nothing be returned of what we
want. But what will foreigners buy cotton
with ? We dont propose to give it to them.
Sterling bills, says one—forgetting that
when they can’t buy sterliuggoods they lose
the very character that gives them currency.
Another proposes specie. What fraction of
the cotton crop could Eugland pay for in
specie before her whole mercantile fabric
would be tottering to ruin ? But allow the
physical possibility of buying cotton with
hard cash or bills : no one the least famil
iar with the instincts of trade can suppose
that these will be used when their value in
goods will purchase twice as much. Say
<£lo will buy a bale of cot ton The same
£lO will purchase in England blankets en
ough to buy two bales. Will the merchant
j send the blankets or the money ? Even the
protection of Lincoln’s fleet, would not bribe
him to such a folly. But if there be any
fear of it, the remedy is simple. Allow no
vessels (except the very few now r in our
port,) to carry out cotton that shall not have
first brought in a European cargo. The pre
caution can do no harm, though it will prob
ably be idle. By virtue of the natural law
to which trace owes its being, the cotton
wanted abroad can be exchanged only for .
the goods at home. To export cotton means !
to import arms, ammunition, clothing, shoes.
To prohibit the one is to keep out the other.
Let the political speculator who has no
bowels of compassion for the British spin
ner whom he is starving, turn his eyes to
the halfnaked soldier, tracking the ground
with bloody feet, poorly . armed, half sup
plied with ammunition, preparing for to
morrow’s conflict with a well appointed foe, !
by shivering, without coat or blanket, j
t hrough the chill autumn night. God grant
that he may see, while there is yet time, j
that the fate of these two sufferers whom an
ocean separates, is bound into one by a lav/ I
stronger than the laws of man.
I am very fearful of mixing with rational i
discussion, the acrimony of personal debate, j
I mean no reflection on the past in the one j
suggestion I submit for the future considera- j
tion of the local authorities. Indeed, the
only action taken by them was in strict ac
cordance with the view I shall present.
However various our opinions, and how
ever wholesome the thorough comparison of
their merits, th e jurisdiction lies with the
Confederate power. Each vessel leaves its
port under the eye of the Collector and the
instructions of the revenue department.—
Whatever general policy may be adopted
will thus be carried out consistently. The
irregular pressure of local interference is to
to be deprecated as unmitigated mischief.—
Even right principles may be made the in- j
strumeuts of wrong by assertion at the i
wrong time or by improper means and in
competent authority.

Tlie Situation in the West—The
■teen 11 of Geii. Wise.
We have full accounts of the circumstan
ces under which it is supposed General Wise
was ordered to report in Richmond, where
he arrived on Saturday evening.
On the 14th September, General Floyd
encamped with about three thousand men on
the summit of the Big Sewell. General
Wise, with the Wise Legion, about 1,700
strong, encamped on the Eastern slope of the
Big Sewell, between Dixon’s and Smale’s
farms.
Roth Generals commenced entrenching,
Gen. Floyd westward of the summit, Gen.
Wise between Dixon’s and Vaughan’s.
On the night of the 16th to 17th, Gen.
Floyd retreated with his brigade to Meadow
Bluff, being under the impression that the
enemy was 15,000 strong, and also threaten
ing the Wilderness road.
Gen. Floyd ordered Geu. Wise to prepare
to follow him to cover his rear, which order I
Gen. Wise failed to execute for a number of j
alleged reasons.
On the lStli, Gen. Wise addressed his j
troops, stating that hitherto he had never
once retreated but in obedience to superior
orders; that the enemy were said to be fif
teen thousand strong, that be did not be
lieve they were as many, but if they were,
he thought he could, and was resolved to
make a stand in that position; that his men
must expect to be attacked from all sides,
aud for successive days, and that all who
were not willing to abide the issue, on step
ping forward, would be sent to Meadow
Bluff.
On the 20th or 21st, Geu. Lee arrived in
Gen. Floyd’s camp, and ordered Geu. Wise,
if he could do so safely, to fall back. Geu.
Wise invited Geu. Lee to judge for himself
of the positions. Gen. Lee arrived iu Gen.
Wise’s camp, now called “Camp Defiance,”
on the 22d, and, after carefully inspecting
the ground, ordered Gen. Wise to maintain
his position till further orders.
On the 23d, the enemy occupied the Big
Sewell, and skirmishijg began, aud was con
tinued till the evening of the 25th.
The Wise Legion, by the arrival of five
companies of infantry and one of artillery,
was, by the 23d, reinforced to niue guus aud
two thousand men.
On the night of the 24th, Gen. Lee him
self arrived with four regimeuts and two
guns, leaving Gen. Floyd with about 1,500
nieu and cavalry at Meadow Bluff. On the
evening of the 25th, Gen. Wise received
orders to report immediately to the Secreta
. ry of War, and started for Richmond, ac
\ eoi£paui<td by Usd, Major? I>UI-
field and Stanard, Captains Parish and Breed,
and Lieut. Wise.
Gen. Jjee, including the Legion, had with
him at Camp Defiance between 5,000 aud
5.500 men, with eleven guns. More than
1.500 men, with a rifle cannon, would rein
force him by the 2Gth. The position is oue
of extraordinary strength. Little skirmish
ing had taken place, confined to three com
panies of the 2od regiment of the Wise L<*-
giou, aud to the artillery of the Wise Le
gion. Lieut. Howell, of Mississippi, was
killed, Capt. Lewis severely wounded, one
private killed and three wounded.
The enemy immediately opposed to Wise,
on the turnpike, luul been made out, to
amount to between 5 and (5,000. Three
thousand reinforcements had been ascer
tained, on the “Jtith, to have reached Gauly
bridge.
Nothing was known of the direction or
number of the remainder of tiie enemy’s
force.
Gen. Lee, it is said, could not be foreed
from lii.s position, but easily moved by a
demonstration, eastward, on his rear.
Tlu* Seigc and ili<‘ Surrender ot’
Lexiugtoii.
The following account of the seigeof Lex
ington, (says the Ih rald ,) is furnished to
the St. Louis Republican, by Henry Broad
burn, one of Col. Mulligan’s soldiers, who
left Lexington on Saturday morning:
The fort was surrendered on Friday after
noon. The men fought fifty-nine hours
without water, and had only three bids, of
vinegar to quench their thirst. During all
that time there were no springs or wells of
water in the camp ground, as has been stated.
The supply of water was entirely from the
river. There were breastworks all around
the cauip, with the exception of the portion
next to the river. It was here that the hard
est fighting took place.
The rebels procured a large number of
hemp bales and rolled them iu advance, and
under this cover gradually succeeded in se
eming a position in the rear. They then
cut off the supply of water, aud had the fort
surrounded.
They made but few charges upon the
breastworks duriug the entire seige. Their
object seemed to be to surround the fort and
cut off the supply of water, and, having suc
ceeded in this, they waited until Col. Mulli
gan was compelled to yield to a foe more
terrible than the 27,000 rebels who sur
i rounded him.
After the surrender the rebels mounted
the breastworks and seemed mad with joy
aud delight. After the surrender the rebels
took down the Uuiou flag and trailed it in
the dust.
An immense amount of gold, supposed to
be about a quarter of a million of dollars, fell
into the possession of the rebels. It was
taken from the banks aud buried by Colonel
Mulligan iu the camp ground some time ago,
| but the rebels speedily discovered and uu
j earthed it.
j Col. Mulligan wept like a child when he
found himself compelled to surrender. The
morning after the men were all released on
i parole aud seut across the river. The officers
were retained.
| The first attack of the rebels proved more
disastrous to them than the long siege that
followed. For a day or two previous to the
last attack they were busily engaged in bury
ing their dead.
Latest. —Gen. Price had, on Saturday,
14th, given Col. (Acting General) Mulligan
until Monday to surrender, or take the altern
ative of battle. The object of Gen. Price
was not so much in giviug the I'nion troops
a chance to surrender as to enable Gen.
Raines and bis rebel forces, together with a
number of smaller bodies of marauders under
Martin Green aud others, all of whom were
marching from various sources, to join him.
Price’s force must, therefore, have been en
larged to about 17,000. Iu the commence
ment of the seige he hud about 8,000. The
Union force consisted certainly of about
3,500.
TUc Difference Easily Explained.
The Savannah Republican, referring to
our refusal to support convention or caucus
nominations, says: “For the life of us, we
cannot see the difference, iu principle, be
tween supporting a good man nominated by
a caucus of 170 representatives from all por
tions of the State, and supporting another
good man nominated by a caucus of 20 of his
own immediate friends aud neighbors.”
The difference, when the case is fairly
stated, is easily perceived. A Suite or county
convention is a combination by a number of
individuals, friends of several or many can
didates, by which they covenant to select
someone of the number (generally the man
considered most available for success) and to
drop the others, constituting themselves a
party to secure the election of their nominee.
The combination is a dictatorial and’ exclu
sive one, and must necessarily lead to the
formation of parties if none existed before.
But the plan of bringing out a candidate by
! the request of a portion of the people (as
Col. Chambers was brought out) excludes no
j distinct party or combination. It is the old
i plan, that worked beneficially and harmoni
ously until parties invented the machinery
of caucuses aud cliques to coueentrate their
strength.
This machinery kept the people constantly
divided into conflicting party organizations,
embittering and intensifying all our political
campaigns, arraying one portion of the peo
ple against another, after a while one section
against another, and thus sowing the seeds
that produced a disruption of the l nion.—
The same agency, managed in the same way,
will soonaarra s one sectiou of our new Con
federacy against another and lead again to
secession or revolution. When we have two
systems of politics or administration iu com
petition for popular approval, con van t ions
aud caucuses may again be necessary evils.
But such a state of affairs does not now exist,
and the machinery of party can only be
worked mischievously aud dangerously.—

VOLUME XXXIX —NO 29.
The Position of Northern Democ
racy.
The position formerly occupied by the
democracy of the North is fresh in the
memory of all. For years they have been
earnest and loud-mouthed in their professions
of love and friendship for the South. They
believed the demands of the Southern peo
ple were perfectly right and proper, and we
wen 1 told that whenever they hud the pow
er, all grievances would be redressed. Even
after the election of Lincoln, and the initia
tory steps towards secession on the part of
the Southern States, these friends insisted
that the South was entirely justified in its
course. When the first faint muttcrings of
the war storms were heard in the land, these
valiant defenders of the States lights declared
themselves set as flint against all coercion,
firmly convinced that nothing but concilia
tion and compromise would ever win the
Southern States back into the Union. Many
of them went so far as to say that an) 7 iuva
ding army would be required to march over
the dead bodies of the Democratic friends of
the South.
These friendly professions on their part
deceived many even at the South, and there
were thousands who hesitated to become se
cessionists through fear of wounding their
supposed friends in the North. When how
ever, Sumter was taken, and the storm of
war burst forth in all its fury, where were
these gallant defenders of the South ? The
record shows that they yielded easily to the
pressure, and joined the ranks of their ene
mies and the enemies of the South. Their
friendship proved to have been based upon
interest, and as soon as they found there was
no longer a hope of obtaining preferment,
either political or commercial, through the
South, they turned upon her with all the
fury of demons. They out Heroded Herod,
and claimed credit for furnishing more men
and money to subjugate the South than were
furnished by the Black Republicans. Men
who had all their lives been noted for their
presistent defence of the South and her in
stitutions, all at once discover that slavery
was a great evil, which ought to be sup
pressed. Such as Daniel S. Dickinson, who
had been honored and trusted by the South,
dishonored his grey hairs by the most fran
tic appeals for a desperate, decisive, bloody
war. He would strike the South a dozen
blows where the despot Lincoln had only
struck one. Gen. Cass, of Michigan, for
whom the South had voted for President of
the United States, who was looked upon by
a large portion of the Southern people as
perfectly sound on the question of Southern
rights, became all at once a furious advocate
of war. Forgetful of all his past professions,
regardless of all the favors and honors he
had received from the South, he declares
himself willing to devote the remaining
years of his life and his property to the cru
sade against his Southern brethren. Tn a
recent conversation with the President of a
Michigan college, the old dotard is represent
ed as saying that “ although he had always
been opposed to abolitionism, yet this was
now the only way to successfully and per
manently end the contest. Without aboli
tionism, if we had peace to-day we should
have war to-morrow.” He has thus declared
himself a disciple of John Brown, and the
ends of truth and justice will never be satis
fied until he and all those miserable Demo
cratic renegades who agree with him in sen
timent. meet the fate they so richly deserve
and which their friend and brother, Brown,
met at Charlestown, Virginia. — Montgomery
Advertiser.
How strangely would such language as
the above Lave sounded from a Southern dem
ocratic organ twelve months ago.
**arcl‘l Corn.
Let our rangers and others expecting duty
with long marches, preserve and use the fol
lowing, which we take from the Iredell, N.
C. Express:
Parched Com.—lmportant Information
for Guerillas. —Several years ago we trav
eled in a stage with the Hon. David Hub
bard, of North Alabama, who served through
out the Seminole war, and with his unerring
rifle, killed many red-skins. From him we
derived the following information, which we
publish for the benefit of those who may be
about embarking in guerilla warfare, and
our soldiers generally, when provisions are
scarce or cannot with convenience be trans
ported in sufficient quantity. Mr. Hubbard
said that he and others often went out scout
ing for several days at a time, taking a quart
or more of parched corn, that he could con
veniently carry in a belt made for the pur
pose, slung over the shoulder (the weight
was light), and, with his blanket and trusty
rifle, sought the foe in the lagoons and
wherever else he could be found. That un
til this method of warring was generally
adopted by the troops, no progress could be
made iu exterminating the savages, which
proved entirely successful. He stated that
a quart of parched corn, with care, would
subsist a soldier for a week, and not suffer
much hunger. The corn they parched in
the ashes of their camp fires.
A Bright Examples.— The ladies of
the Southern Confederacy are, perhaps, not
aware that in knitting socks for the army
they have the precedent of one of the lov
liest women that ever graced high station—
the beautiful wife of our own Washington.
We quote from the “Life of Washington,”
by Washington Irving After telling us
that on Christmas Eve Washington retired
from the busy world to his beloved Mount
Vernon, he goes on to say :
There was nothing awkward or violent
in the transition. He seemed to be in his
natural element. Mrs. Washington, too,
who had presided with quiet dignity at head
quarters, and cheered the wintry gloom of
Valley Forge with her presence, presided
with equal amenity and grace at the simple
board of Mount Vernon. She bad a cheer
ful, good souse, that always made her an
agreeable companion. She had been marked
for an inveterate habit of kuitting. It had
been acquired, or at least fostered, in the
wintry encampments of the Revolution,
where she used to set example to her lady
visitors by diligently plying her needle, knit
iiti/ stockings Jor the poor destitute soldiers .”
Arrest of Preachers in St. Louis.—
We learn, says the Louisville “Courier,”
that the reign of tenor and despotism in St:
Louis is daily on the increase. The arsenal
is converted into a Bastile, in which have
already been incarcerated three Baptist
preachers. Not a word of these outrages
appears in the suborned and Government
papers. All the honest free papers are si
lenced, and our only sources of information
is from traveler? who Retail the fact.
