Personal rad Political Ballads," • rar* wort of the «*r era, in poawaion of Charles St. Clair, M Park row, New York.] An ajjixl man, all bowed and worn, .Sat by hi. hearthstone old; Beside him sat, with reverent mien, A youth all proud and bold. Tie listens with rapt eagerness To the old man's every word; One aged hand rests on bis head, Tbe other grasps a sword. “My boy," the gray haired patriot - v* said, / “A precious legacy 1 give Into your keeping now - Tbe sword of Harry Lee! Ah, bow we loved that noble chief— A hero grand waa he; No craven thought eVr filled the heart Of Light Horse Harry Lea. Or,» day-it aU comes back again, Though I am old and gray— The battle had raged long and fierce. For we would not give way. * Our chieftain at the legion’s head Rode on exultingly, When a red coat vile his saber raised To murder Harry Lee. 1 dashed before the hero bold. Right in the deadly strife; I dove the Hessian to tbe earth And saved brave Harry's life. That night he grasped my wearied hand. The Hush was on his cheek, The tears stood in his manly eyes, His voice was hoarse and weak. He gave me his own trusty sword. That oft had led the free; He told me I must wear it for The sake of Harry Lee. Ah. boy! that was a happy night. I'or proud he well might be Who e’er deserved such heartfelt praise From Light Horse Harry Lee. 1 wore this blade ail through the war, And when the storm was o'er, I kept it bright and free from rust As in the days of yore. But when the British came again. To threat us with their might; I buckled on the good old sword And wore it through the fight. c 4 r i m. And when the soft, sweet, southern breeze, From tropic regions far. Came laden with the clash of arms And thrilling notes of war, Ltook the old sword from its place. With tears of honest pride. And buckled it right gladly by Your gallant father’s side. He bore it manfully and well In regions far away; It flashed e'er Palo Alto's plains And sunny Monterey. It never was laid down in shame— God grant I ne'er may see, Ojt> base blot on the shining blade Of Light Horse Harry Lee. Nov, - , boy, I draw this sword again- Alas. that it must be. That I must count as foes tbe son Of those who fought with mo. My limbs are old and feeble now And silvered is my hair; I cannot wield this sword, and so I give it to your care. Today I saw your noble chief And. ah, I seemed to see. Erect again before me stand The form of Harry Lee, That same bright eye, that uobie fmi... That bearing light and free: Ah, yes, he's like bis noble sir - . This son of Harry Lee. Now go and do your duty, boy. Y’ou bear no coward’s name: And as you dread your graadsire' curs.-. Ne'er sully it with shame Aud 1, as long sis life remain Within this bosom free. Will ask God's blessing on y, • • Tbe son of Harry Lee. James I> McCabe. Vjcksbcrc. May, b*>:.

Their explanation of the tides is very naive. The genius of the waters, it seems, wishing to cross the straits dry- shod. caused the water that filled them to heap itself up at one side, and then, when he had i«ssed over, to fall back into its place again, which it did with such momentum as to go on osciilating to and fro ever since.

At). , ;n Journal. On k i Su day Clayton county passed i oh. :ons demanding the repeal of ho internal revoDtia la\T9. The rea! issue no if in Georgia is, do the people of the slate prefer a redaction of the taxes on the neces ashes of life, or a repeal of the leve nuelaws? It is conceded by all, *ho understand the frets, that both will not take pla.e Therefore, which •hall come fir " ductiou of the taxes ou the l. w. . ies of life, or on whisky and tobaccof ; The action of Clayton county puts that county in line with the protec UOBEtta of Pennsylvania, and against lEierestaof the nfasses of the peo p|*©f Georgia. Wo do not mean j that this act ; eally represents the voice of Cl •> county, but it is the voice of v, ~ . we understand to have been a legally constituted con vention, and is conclusive upon tbe county. There were very few prea ent; there was no fight anticipated, rad tbe men who favored taking tbe tax off of whisky and tobacco captor ed the county. It is a most significant fact that the newspapers opposed to tbe re duction of the taxes on the necessa ries of hte, have failed to notice tbe action of Clayton county. Is it possible that a still hunt is being prepared by which counties in Georgia are to be captured before the masses of the people understand tbe plan of tbe campaign? The result id Clayton county should be a warning to the people of the state. Our people can afford to quit business for a single day. They can afford to leave their crops for a few hours to protect themselves against onerous taxes that have been lasting for many years. We urge tbe press and the people of Georgia to call attention to what happened in Clayton county: to wake up the voters, lest their coun ties should be captured by the pro tectionists simply on account of tbe failure of the voters to attend the county convention.
