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.

[From (be Morning News, lstinst.] 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. [From the Richmou<l Kxaminer, Sept. SO.] 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.— Columbus Enquirer. A Goon Use. —The first trip over the Macon and Warrenton Bail Road, (designed untimatdy toeonnect Macon and Spaita,Ga.,) was made on the 13th September, over the iron which was used in “Steven’s Battery,” on Morris’ Island, iu tho investment of Fort Sumter. Contraband. —Gen, Wool acknowledges that he has upwards of 2,000 negroes at Fort Monroe; and asks the authorities at YV ash ington what he shall do with them. Some are to be seut to Washington to work on fortifications, aud others will probably be shipped to the West lqdies. 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.
