“What shall I write ?” said I :
You replied—“ Write your first thoughts of me.”
Hear now what the spirit you invoke ha3 to say !
FIRST THOUGHTS.
The rainbow was always a gladness to me,
I never mistook it on land or on sea;
And this, was the first thought that T had of thee!
.1 thought, too, of-pearls, oi'diamonds, and roses,
Os a cloud on which a bright star reposes.
The work of Canova* I knew, and knew tlipe —
How could I mistake when ’twa* only to see !
The longer I gaze—o ! the beautiful bow !
The brighter its tints and the deeper its glow,
'Till the heavens exult in the radiant show !
The peta ls too, more brilliant in iightjhat’s divine,
And thoughts—real diamonds —in darkness that
shine; ' *
The roses —a wilderness —bloom nil around,
No trace of “the curse” in this Eden is found !
O ! ever I knew thee —can never forget !
Till the glad stars above us forever shall set.
Should have known thee the same if we never had
met I • '
And these are the thdtights which I cherish of
thee,
Thoughts of the bright—of the pure—*of the true —
of the free—
■ Who come from the fountain of bliss and of love,
And return to their home in the bright sun above !
-When tbeUutlior was quite a young man, and
travelling in the Eastern cities, he had never seen
a specimen of sculpture and had no guide, but be
did not fail to recognize any work of tho celebrated
Venetian sculptor.. Antonio Canova. His idea is,
that by the same recognize the per
fection of character.
Auburn, Ala., March 14, 1864.
A fetter, dated Paris, March 22, says “that tho
result of the Paris elections is just made known
to-day, and again proves to be a complete defeat
of the Government and a renewal of tho expres
sion of universal hostility on the parr, of the Cap
itol against the powers that bo. M. Carnot and
M. Gamier Pages, both active leaders in the Re
publican movement of 1848, ‘and,, therefore,
avowed enemies Os Imperialism under any form,
have been eleeted by overwhelming majorities to
the two vacant constituencies.”
From Charleston.-— The Courier of Friday
says : ‘‘The enemy kept up a brisk fire u ; pou
the city Thursday, filing between, forty and
fifty shells. About one o’clock a Parrott shell
entered the roof of Alexander Duncan's work
shop, at the foot of iiasell street, struck on
the anvil and boasted. Two young men aud
a negro boy were standing by the anvil at the
time of the explosion. The two white men
escaped uninjured. The negro boy, named
Aaron, belonging to Mrs. Heath, was struck
on the shoulder amt the left arm brakfti, He
also reeieved several severe bruises in the
head. It is believed that amputation of the
arm wifl be necessary.
Between thirty* and forty shells have been
tired at- Fori S a enter since our last, most of
which struck, but did no damage.
The enemy were again busy at the ‘Swamp
Angel" Thursday. There was no change in
the fleet.

New York Disgraced.- -On Saturday, the
sth inst., (says the Metroplitaii Record, .March
12th,) a scene was presented on Broadway
such as we trust will never again be witness
ed in this great metropolis. It was the parade,
of a colored regiment, officered by white men,
and with an escort of white men It was the
saddest proof that could be produced of the
degeneracy of our Government, and of the
depth of degradation in which the republic
has been plunged by the infamous party iu
power.
Each rank was flanked by a force of police
men to propteet the blacks from the possibility
of any abuse from the speotators. It wa*
hard for on honest man to control his indigna
tion at the sight, but it made the blood tingle
ro see come of our own race showing, by voice
and gesture, their approbation of this infa
mous parody of patriotism. Yet, while the
idea of seeing the negro in uniform is repul
sive to us. we cannot help but pity the poor
wretch, with nu mercy to expect from the
North when he is in the field.
May Gen. Dix, in a speech at the New York
Fair, complimented the men and the ladies of
the North for their zeal in contributing to the
wants of the eonntry ar.d the army, and said
there was no such spirit at the South, in be
half of the Confederate Government and sol
diers. There was nothing in the South like
ihe ‘‘earnest arid devoted efforts” of the ladies
of the North. If it ware not that a General s
commission, when given by Abraham Lincoln,
seems to include an obligation to fight the
truth as well as tike might wonder
at a man in Dix s; ?talien, uttering so flagrant
a falsehood against the ladies of the Confed
eracy. Their diligent devotion to the cause,
and their spirit of self-sacrifice, will be the .
praise of the historian long after the footsteps j
of the war shall have been effaced. I

Grant’s Programme. —We saw a
gentleman yesterday directly out of the
Yankee lines, by way of Harpers Ferry,
who informed us that the Yankees were
making themselves jubilant over the pros**
pect of “whipping out the rebellion by
early summer." Their “man on horse
back” was to do the job in the next nine
ty days, and there was not a grease spot
of the rebellion to be left.
The programme by which this hercu
lean task is to be accomplished was freely
discussed by all classes of the people
North, and is in substance ns follows.
Grant with the main body of the army
is to advance on Lee, and gobble him
up; Burnside, with corps d’arinee df 30,-
000 or 40,000 men is to come up the
Southside of of James*river and cut the
rebel-. communication with the South,
and Butler with a column of 25,000 or
30,000 strong is to take the Peninsula
route. All three of the columns are to
meet in Richmond, and the gridiron flag
is to float from the dome of the Confod
erate Capitol by the Ist of June.
While these operations are going on
Sherman is to press Johnson at Dalton
and Loogstreet is to have his hands full
in East Tennessee, by keeping up a show
of force As soon as Lee is disposed of,
Johnson will receive a polite alarm from
Grant in the rear, and then, why then,
the rebellion will be dead and buried and
none will be so poor as to do it reverence.
A right pretty programme on paper,
truly, but we have seen “a man on horse
back” lying in the mnd before to-day,
and we have a sort of presentiment that,
when Grant runs against Lee, he will be
be in the same prediciament, that Pope,
was once, that is he wont know hind
quarters from his headquarters.

The Hog Cholera. —A prominent
and influential jfftijzen informs the Mont
gomery' .Advertiser that for a long time
his porkers have suffered from this very
common complaint. He tried various rem
edies, but without effect, until the idea
suggested itself that*bleeding might have
a tendency to check the disease. With
this view he bled his pigs in the roof of
the mouth, and with the most beneficial
results, having lost but two pigs out of liis
large stock, since lie commenced this mode
of checking the disease. We hope that
our friends in the country who have dis
eased swine will try the experiment, and,
by this simple remedy, save their bacon.
The Fanners Friend says hundreds of
hogs have died in this County, within a
few moots, of a disease that, has bathed
the skill of the best swine doctors. A
remedy has been discovered, however.
A gentleman informs us that if planters
will boil their corn is a strong tea, made
of green pine tops, and feed the
same to their hogs.it will affect a speedy
cure: Try it.
The Liverpool Journal of Commerce,
of March 21st, says:
<l on Saturday an experimental trip of
the steamship Badger, recently . construc
ted by Messrs Jones, Quiggin $ Cos., for
the purpose of conveying cotton, etc., from
Nassau to this port, took place. The Bad
ger left the San don Deck at 0,30 a. m .
and csifce along side the Great Landing
Stage, where she embarked a number *»f
. parties interested, and left at 11.30 a. rn
j making the passage down the Crosby Chan
nei. She ran about 80 uoiies, and return
ed to the stage at 33d p. in. Her engines,
though new, worked beautifully, and her
average speed was upward ot 21 miles
per hour.
There will be another trial trip on
on a more extended scale on Wednesday
next. The Badger is one of a number
of steamships eonatruc-ied by the same
makers Fox and the Let Her B

A \ankee Transport Captured.
We learn from official authority that Capts.
Edwards and Reasons, with G 5 men, captured
a Yankee transport at Friar’s Toiut on the
6th inst. (March.)
Capt. Edwards dressed himself in citizen's
clothes, stationed his command in the cane
about a half mile from Friar's Point; and
mounted himself on an old poor horse and
rode uj* in town. When he arrived there he
saw a transport auchored in the river. He
walked up to some Yankee traders aud re
marked that he had some thirty bales of cot
ton which he wished to get on that boat ; ex
pressing great uneasiness at the same time, if
it remained' there a great while jt’ r might be
destroyed by the guerilla bands in'the bottom.
After conversing a few minute:, they told him
if he would hurry up his wagon.; they would
take his cotton on board. He started as if for
that purpose ; hut went to his command and
put on his uniform and ordered his- men to
follow him ; and in a short time they arrived
at the spot Where the transport was,'and the
order was given to fire, which was complied
with. About one hundred shots were fired
when the order was given to cease firing, but
to shoot every one that attempted to cut the
cable.
Capts. Edwards and Reason"- and a Texan
got in a skiff and paddled to the transport,
and boarded her, aud forced the crew to take
her to the wharf. All the command then
went aboard. .They captured $37,000 in
greenbacks, sGo,tX>o in Confederate, over
coats, hat pair of boots a piece, and pock
et knives, pistols, &e. They then set the boat,
on fire and burned it to the water's edge.
They killed three, wounded five, and took
eighteen prisoners. The boat had on board
GOU bales of cot ton and a Targe lot of mer
chandize, which were all destroyed. The
prize is said to be worth $1,000,000. This
daring deed was accomplished with only about
35 men—the balance being lelt to guard the
town. \Yc consider this the most dar
ing of feats, and most complete victory that
has been accomplished during the war. More
damage can be done the enemy, more good
done the enemy, in this way, Ahan any other
with the same number of men, therefore, we
hope our Government will recognize them,
and let them continue in the good work of
breaking up the Yankee trade on O.ur soil.

Apropos of the Beast, the following inci
dent happening at Fortress Monroe last week
is authentic. One of the returned prisoners,
a Colenol of the Confederate army, on his way r
from Point Lookout to Richmond, was ushered
into the presence of Butler, who said he de
sired to put some plain questions to the Col
onel and wanted perfectly frank answers to
them, promising tha* tnese answers would not
effect, in the least, the Colbners"Btatus as* a
prisoner of war, one way or the ether. The
following dialogue ensued between the two :
Beast Butler.—yll, in the incidents of war,
I StlOUtd fall a prisoner into youv Itrtpds, what
would you do with roe ?”
The Colonel.—‘T should execute you on. the
spot.”
ljutler.—‘Ts this purpose generally enter
tained by* the officers of your army -V
Colonel.—‘ Yes, and the privates two.”
Boast- Butler.—“ Sir, f thank you for your
candor.”
The Colodgl.—“Sir, you are entirely wel
come to it.,’
The Colonel then retired under guard, and
was shortly afterwards waited upon by an
aid-de-camp of Busier, wit It an invitation
from the Beast to dine at headquarters. The
Colonel had n&L eate'n what 00111'.' be
dinner for eight months, but he promtiy de
clined.—Rich. Cars. Memphis Appeal.
Arrival of Priso.nkrs.—The train that ar
rived this morning brought in 523 Federal
prisoners who were captured by Gen. Forrest
recently at Union City.
Most of them, we learn, are members of
Col. Hawkins’ 7th Tennessee regiment. Twen
ty-six belong to the renegade Ist Tennessee
regiment, commanded by the notorious Col.
Hurst. This command made itself infamous
by the barbarities it perpetrated on Confede
rates in Tennessee. Some of the prisoners
w ere taken out of the hospitals at Paducah
and Union City. Several of them were recog
nized by our troops. One young man had
two brothers in tfie crowd.
They are in charge of a detachment of Col.
Ucyvry’s 2d Mississippi regiment.

From Pex3acola.— We learu, says the Mo
bile Tribune of the 11th, from a gentleman
who hasjn't returned from Pensneola, that
there were thirty vermis in the bay there.—
He also reports tl at during the recent attack
..n Fort Powell, ihr e of the enemy s vessels
! were very serioii ly disabled, and are now un
dergoing repairs at Pensacola. It would
; seem from this, that Farragul is busily en
