TRUE LOVE.
“Oh ! was there ever tale of human love
Which was not also tale of human tears l
Died not sweet Desdemona ? Sorrowed not
Fair, patient lmogene l and she whose name
Lives among lovers, Sappho, silver voiced,
Was not the wailing of her passionate lyre
Ended forever in the dull, dead sea 1
Must it be thus 1 must the cup that holds
The sweetest vintage of the vine efliie
Taste bitter at the dregs 1 Is there no story,
No legend, no love passage, which shall vail
Even as the bow which God hath bent in heaven.
O’er the sad waste of mortal histories
Promising respite 1 to the rain of tears ?”
GIRLHOOD.
A sweetness in the morning air
A witching laughter in the woods,
A group of maidens every where,
With glowing’ cheeks and flowing hair,
And not a sorrow or a care,
Within their dainty hoods!
An agile fleetness in their limbs,
A tint of morning on their brows,
Their postures full of girlish whims.;
No dappled fawn so nimbly skims
Along the silver lakelet brims,
Beneath the dripping boughs!
They are ruthless, romping rout,
Marauders of each nook and glen ;
They disappear with song and sliout,
They bear ifie forests all about,
And ferret, timid flowers out,
Then come in glee again.
Such knots of flowers and knots of girls,
With beauty in their busy eyes.
One plaits a cluster with her curls,
Another in her finger twirls
A nosegay rich with liquid pearls,
A tell tale in disguise.
Oh, girlhood is a guerdon fair,
That still is left a recreant race:
There’s witchery in its wayward air.
Sprinkling the sunshine everywhere ;
Alas, that later years impair
Its simple guileless grace.

The .Hob in New Orleans. Two Lives lost.
Ballot box destroyed.
The New Orleans Delta girts the following account of
the election riot which took place in New Orleans on the
day of the last Municipal Election :
We confine ourselves to a narrative of what occurred
at the seventh ward, the other polls being generally as
well conducted as usual on exciting elections. This ward
was calculated to give a very large majority for the Dem
ocratic ticket. The vote hi the ward at previous elections
had exhibited some astounding results. Freni seven hun
dred it suddenly rose to eleven hundred, after a very se
vere and destructive epidemic. Under such circumstan
ces, it wsa natural that suspicions of unfairness aud irreg
ularity should be indulged. To disarm these suspicions,
to satisfy the publie that it was a fair and legal vote, it
behooved the party in power first, to appoint the inspec
tor judiciously and fairly : and secondly, to conduct the
election with a strict regard to law and equity. This
would have satisfied all pat ties. The most violently dis
posed would have lieen silenced'and reconciled by such a
procedure. We regret to say this was not done in the
seventh ward.
The first error was in appointing corporation officials
as inspectors who were personally interested in giving a
particular direction to the voting. Next it has been rep
resented by reliable persons, that votes we e received
with a rapidity and disregard of the injunctions of the
law, wieh disgusted all beholders ; challengers were or*
dered off* and disregarded ; demands for the swearing of
the voters wer* refused on the ground that the inspectors
had not time, and persons who were pointed out as hav
ing voted before and who were illegal voters, were receiv
ed ; citizens who invoked the application of the legal
tests, were insulted and threatened ; and many other im
proprieties committed. Although the average vote o!
the ward was but 700, we are informed by good authori
ty that a thousand votes had heen received at twelve
o'clock, just four hours after the polls were opened.—
This would be at the rate of four persons a minute, a
rate which excludes all idea that the requirements of the
law were regarded.
These circumstances prrvlueed great excitement among
the citizens, and a large crowd assembled near the polls.
In front of the Judge’s stand and the ballot box, was a
room, sometimes used as a ball room, wherein were as
sembled a mixed crowd of angry disputants. One great
cause of angry contention was the refusal of a man by
the name of Smith, to relinquish a position which he oc
cupied near the Judge’s stand and to cease challenging
voters. Smith, having been threatened, drew his pistol
and defied the crowd to remove him. He was maintain
ing his position, when, about three o’clock, two detach
ments of stout and furious men rushed into the ball room,
by two doors, brandishing heaay loaded sticks, and shout
ing. “Down with the Know Nothings !”
One of these parties was led by William Mochler, a
policeman, brether of the policeman who was killed on
Sunday morning in an affray of his own provocation.—
Mocliler, was a powerful man, and appeared to be bent
on some desperate purpose. He rushed into the crowd
with his dub, there was a general melee, end Mochler
and his crowd were observed to be retreating, Mochler
himself falling near the door, and another man named
Martin Towsley falling within the house. They were
both stabbed mortally through the shoulder. Lamenta
ble its such an occurrence as this must appear to all good
citizens, it would be vain to pretend that these men were
engaged in any other but an unlawful and violent inter
ference with the rights of other citizens. They were ev
idently provoking an affray.
For the remainder of the day there was comparative
quiet at the polls The polls were closed at the usual
time, aud it was given out that the number of votes reg
istered was 935. This proclamation gave general satis
faction, and the crowd dispersed. The Inspectors took
the ballot boxes into possession, and retiring into an inte
rior room, began to count the votes in the presence of
gentlemen of both parties. As they were about to com
mence the count, to the surprise of some persons, it was
stated that instead of 935 there were 1,400 qotes in the
box. The misrepresentation as to the number was con
fessed by gome to be a ruse, to prevent the polls being
mobbed. By others, it was charged or suspected that
votes had been placed in the box after the polls were clo
sed. This fact soon got abroad, and drew a crowd
around the house. A police force was sent around, and
stationed in the street near the polls.
Meantime, some gentlemen were deputed by the crowd
to proceed into the house and see that the votes were hon
estly counted. They did so, and reported the fact that
there were over fourteen hundred votes in the box. The
excitement of the crowd was growing quite warm and
threatening, when Capt. Tenbrink, who with the Chief
of the Police, was present, seeing that the presence of
the police added to the excitement, appealed to the crowd
to preserve peace and order ; and having, as bethought,
calmed the tumult, deemed it prudent to order the police
off. Shortly after this was done, there was a rush by the
crowd at the doors, several pistols were fired both from
within and without the house, the doors were broken
open and a furious body of men rushed into the interior
where the eount was going on. The ballot boxes wera
seized and thrown into the street and trampled upon, and
the inspectors were driven off.
Congressional Belligerancy.
There has been no fatal duel among the members of
Congress since that between Mr. Cilley and Mr. Graves
in 1837. In 1842 occurred a difficulty between Mr.
Wise and Mr. Stanley, which would probably have pro
duced a duel: but for the arrest of both panics and their
being hound over to keep the peace. The next serious
difficulty was between Mr. Yaney, of Alabama, and Mr.
Clingman, of North Carolina. Mr. Y. gave Mr. C. a
personal affront during the discussions on the annexation
of Texas, and when appealed to for explanations, made
the pointed reply, “explanations elsewhere.” They were
demanded elsewhere, and not being satisfactory, a meet
ing and exchange of shots took place, without damage to
either combatant.
The next affair was that between Mr. Stanly and Mr.
Inge, of Alabama. The latter gave the insult, refused to
retract, was challenged and accepted. After an ex
change of shots, without execution, the parties were
“satisfied.”
Probably, the next affair in the order of time was the
personal quarrel between Mr. Benton and Mr. Butler, in
which, alter the “lie” was given with great acrimony of
manner in the Senate, a challenge was given but the dif
ficult}’ was adjusted by apologies and regrets.
During the excitement which ended with the compro
mise of 1850, two personal matters arose which nearly
approached a duel, and produced profound sensation.—
The first w<s that between Col. Bissell, of Illinois, and
Col. Jefferson Davis. Col. Bissel had made one of the
most impressive speeches ever heard in the House on the
sectional question, during which he denounced with
much severity, certain pretensions advanced in behalfof
the Mississippi troops in the battle of Buena Vista. Col.
Davis then in the Sena e, l;a l commanded that regiment in
the battle. lie demanded a retraction of the assertions
of Col. Bissell. A correspondence ensued, which ended
in a challenge and its acceptance.
The weapons selected were muskets, and the fight
would certainly have taken place, hua not the parties aud
their friends very opportunely discovered that they were
quarrelling about nothing at all.
In the spring of 1850, Mr. Duer, of New York, said
he believed Mr. Meade, of Virginia, was a disunionist.
“It is false,” and “you are a liar,” were immediately ex
changed. A challenge, its acceeptance, interposition of
friends, retractions, a reconciliation uatuarally fol
lowed.
I have omitted an occurrence between Mr. Clay and
the late Vice President King, which produced at the time
a wider and deeper sensation than any other of the same
nature which leri to no actual conflict. At the Extra ses
sion of 1841, after the great triumph of the Presidential
election, Clay, saw that through the defection ot Mr. Ty
ler, the fruits of triumph of the previous year were like
ly to be snatched from the hands ol those who won it,
aud was somewhat less amiable than was habitual with
him.
In one of his least complaisant modes, Mr. King had
declared, in substance, thatF. B. Blair was as much en
titled to confidence and respect its Mr. Clay himself.—
Mr. Clay indignantly denied it, and, I think, pronounced
the assertion false. Mr. King qnieUy remarked, “I have
nothing to suy,” and sat down. The next day a chal
lenge wits given, the challenger being 58 and the chal
lenged party 63 years old. Tlu; advanced age of both
parties should have beeH a guarantee against any really
hostile intentions ; but they were entertained, and the
disagreement was arranged only with great difficulty.
Such is a brief record of congressional belligerency
for the last thirteen years. It is obvious that, while (lie
habit of quarrelling remains, the practice of fighting is go
ing, or rather hits gone, out of date. During that whole
time but two have ended in an actual resort to the field.
The Sanders’ Dinner Party in London.
The Baltimore Sun makes the following extract from a
letter of recent date, written by an American gentleman
now in London. It gives a brief sketch of some ol the
persons present at the dinner recently given by Mr. San
ders, American Consul, to the republican lenders who are
now in that city, exiles from their native land. The wri
ter says :
“It was one of the most interesting meetings I ever at
tended. It was a gathering such as I probably shall nev
er shall see again, and I accepted the invitation with much
pleasure, however much I might have felt at liberty to
differ with them and him in their policy. Several Ameri
cans were present, and among them Mr. Buchanan.—
Some of the papers here wanted to know what the Ame
rican Minister was doing amongst tills “band of conspir-
tors ?” As far as this matter is concerned, it is nobody’s
business, and as long as lie does his duty to country, and
the Government to which he is accredited, no one has a
l ight to complain when, where, or with whom he dines.
The principal persons present were Kossuth, Mazznni,
Lcdru Robin, Orsini, Garibaldi, Pulzskv, Woreell and
Ilerlzen.
“Kossuth we know all about in the United States.—
His conduct there was anything but creditable to himself
as a leader, and he was obliged to leave the country in a
very undignified way. He is a pleasant man in society,
and talks well and with great earnestness. He has an
air of modesty and calmness about him that is very win
ning, and is well calculated to make great impression at
first sight. 4
“Ylazziui is a most remarkable man. I never saw a
face upon which was written more plainly the marks of
genius and intellectual superiority, life lace is handsome,
pale and expressive, and his eye fL.shts as I never saw’
eyes flash before, lie talks English very well, 3nd has
a great love for tne language.
“Ledru Ilillin, the great socialist and republican leader
is a mau calculated to produce a sensation, lie is laro-e iu
person, and fine looking. He speaks English very badlv, ;
and it is quite tunny to hear him murdering the English’ |
and lin turn, the French. I could understand nearly all !
he said to me in French, which, I fear, is more than he
did’when I spoke to him in the same language.
Pulzsky, you know, is the persou who uocompani.-d |
Kossuth in Ameirica, and is a very agreeable person.
“ \Y orcell, the Poli.-h leader, and lierizen, the Russian
are men of groat character and energy, and although
they were not able to indulge much iu conversation pro
duced a very favorable impression.
“Orsini, the Italian is the handsomest nan I ever saw.
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE.
His face is a perfect study. He is of one of the oddest
families in Italy, and, no doubt, you will remember hav
ing often read of the Orsinis at Rome. He could not
talk a word of English, and yet he seemed to enjoy every
thing that passed, as much as if it had been a meeting of
his own countrymen.

plainly, not even degning to putouashiit collar. Re.
markably expressive, his face lights up as he begins a
sentence, and before he concludes there seems to be a
perfect illumination around him. He is emphatically a
practical man, and, instead of remaining stationary, as the
rest of the republican leaders seem to be doing, looking
on, it is true with intense anxiety, for the “‘good time
coining,” he is quietly pursuing his profession, and earn
ing money for his children’s support. lie it a tailor, and
brought a ship from the United States to this country.
“Sir Joshua Walmslcy, a liberal member of Parliament

plished men I ever met. lie played upon the guitar and
sang Italian battle songs with great taste and spirit. Af
tei twelve o clock, W ashiugton's birth day, they all sang

Betrothal of the Sultan’s Daughters.
[Constantinople Correspondence of the London Times,
datedjFebruary 25.]
Yesterday the legal confirmation of the betrothal of the
Sultan’s eldest daughter, (Sultana Fathama,/aged 14 to
Resehid Pasha’s son, (AliGalib,) aged 21, was celebrated
at the Sul'an s Palace with much pomp. A long train of
men, bearing on their heads trays of fruit, flowers, brocades
jewels &e., as wedding presents, marched in procession
from kedschid Pasha’s house to the Palace of the Sultan
1 ins sight was rather barbarous and queer than pretty or
imposing, but the sight of the pretty Turkish damsels in
guady Orientalized broughams, in some sort repaid one for
a flounder through the filthy streets. Ry a happy arrange
ment the prettier the face the more transparent theveil
the plainer it is the more opaque is the covering. This is
an innovation and and an improvement on Turkish cus
toms, and some are ol the opinion that it might be imitated
with advantage in other countries. On the same day were
celebrated the first betrothals ofhis Majesty’s tiiree remain
mg daughters with the sons of high dignitaries, as follows :
i • 1 m Sultana Refiiha.to Lthem Pasha, son of theex-Seras
kierMeheinAli Pasha: the Sultana Gemileto Mahmoud
Gelae-eddim-Pasha, son ol the Grand Master ol the Ar
ttliery, Ahmet Fitbi 1 asha, and the Sultana Munire to ll
hamt Pasha, son of Abbas Pasha, Governor General nf
Lgypt- It must be remembered that these princess are quite
children. 1 here is evidently an attempt to satisfy both the
great rival politicians in this scheme. It is said that the pres
ents tor these different marriages wiil amount to 40,000 000
piastres, and that Redschid Pa-ha alone has spent 6,000 000
m jewelry, &c. Notwithstanding financial difficulties and
general Poverty, money always seems forthcoming and
now that the Allied Powers seems resolved to give material
assistance, merchants and manufacturers come forward t*
provide stores.
The following is the Sultan’s Imperial decree, giving
away three other daughters in marriage :

SPAIN.
Arrival of the Ins rgent Leaders in France— Failure of
the Revolutionary movement—Mr. Soule and Mr. Tur
got—Recall of the Spanish Minister from Ijondon—
A Government Loan.
Gen. Jose de la Concha has arrived at Eordeaux. The
remainder ot the Saragossa Insurgents have found their wav
into I ranee, and thus has the latest attempt at revolt iu
Spain completely fallen to the ground. A great many ar
rests are known to have taken place throughout Spain al
though few are made public. A cypher found in uos-ession
of Don Carlos Vargas, a Carli.-t brigafier, has given the
clue to the ramifications of the plot. In consequence of
the information thus acquired by the government Gen M a
zano, who was in Cuba with Concha,has been sc’nt prisoner
to Puerto Rico.
M. Turgot will probably be recalled ere long. His influ
ence is wanting before that of Mr. Soule—so they say
Government has succeeded in borrowing 20,000 000 reals
at twelve per cent, to meet pressing exigencies. ’ ’
Senor Isturitz, Spanish Minister at London, is recall. and
to Madrid, to conler with his government. There have
been lor some time rumors ol coldness between the Briti-h
and trench governments, and the recall of.M. Isturitz has
by some papers, been explained into a sort of breaking-ofi
relations. 1 his, however, is considered not to be the case.
