Come not to me with luring smiles, Their power now is vain; You cannot charm my wayward heart With witchery again. 1 lived upon the lightest glance, Mine every hope was thine— You coldly flung in pride away That proffered lov* of mine. Come not to me with gentle words, Think on the days of cld, And marvel not my injured heart Is frozen now and cold. Have I not borne in silence long f Think you I love thee yet ? Go bear the weight upon my soul, You never can forget. Have I not borne in silence longs Your coldness and neglect ? Have I not had my heart strings wrung, And every feeling wrecked ? Go, breathe into another’s ear, The vows of long ago ; They cannot move my hardened heart, Their falsehood well I know. Go, press upon another’s lip The kiss 1 wipe from mine, Within this hour I break the apell My spirit caught from thine. Go, seek another worshipper, My soul no more is stirred ; I listen calmly to the tones, Nor tremble at each word : A prison’d bird, let loose from thrall, All madly spurns its chain ; As proudly I reject the gift I ne’er shall wear again. A Wife’s Influence. Judge O’Neal, in the Yorkville En quirer, tells the following of Judge War Smith, of South Carolina: “ lie had the rare blessing to win the love of one of the purest, mildest and best women, whose character has ever been present to the writer He mar ried Margaret Duff- Ju his worst days she nev f 'r upbraided him by words, bok or gesture, but always met him as if he was one of the kindest and best of hus bands. This course on her part hum bled him, aDd made him weep like a child. This sentence, it is hoped, will be remembered, was the language of Judge Smith to the friend already DameJ, and to those who knew the stern, urib niing public character of the Judge, it will teach a lesson of how much a pa tient woman’s love eau s.toomj! sb. He was at last reformed by nn instance of her patient love ai.d devotion as he himself told it: “ The evening before the Return Day of the Court <f Common Fleas for York District, a client calbd with fifty notes tc be put in suit- Mr. Smith was rot in his office—he was rn what is now fashionably ternud a spree—then a frolic. Mrs. Smith received the notes and sat down in the office to (he work of I issuing the writs and processes. She ! speirt the night at work—Mr. Smith in ‘‘riotous living’ At daylight, on his way home from bis carousals, he saw a , light in bis office, and to bis great sur- I prise saw bis amiible wife, who had just j completed what ought to have been bis work, with her head on the table and asleep. His entry awoke her. She told him what she had done, and showed him her night’s work—fifty writs and processes. This bowed the strong man,‘he fell on his knees, im plored her pardon, and then and there faithfully promised her never to drink another drop while he lived ’ ‘This promise,’ says my friend, Col. Williams, ‘he faithfully kept,’ and said the Judge told bim, ‘from that day everything I touched turned to gold.’ His entire success in life, says Col. Williams, he set down to his faithful observance to this noble promise. “No better eulogy could be pro nounced on Mrs Smith than has just been given in the words of her dis tinguished husband. The reformation of euch a man as William Smith is a chaplet of glory which few women have been permitted to wear. To the peo j pie of South Carolina, and especially of York District, oertaiuly no stronger argument in favor of temperance, total abstinence, need not be given.’’ A Beautiful Sentiment. Dr. Chalmers beautifully says: “ The little that I have seen in the world and known of the history of man kind, teaches me to look upon their er rors in sorrow, not in anger. When I take the history of one poor heart that has sinned and suffered, and represent to myself the struggles and temptations it passed through ; the brief pulsations of joy; the tears of regret; the feeble ness of purpose; the scorn o: the world that has little charity; the desolation of the soul’s sanctuary, and threatening voices within ; health gone, happiness gone,; l would fain leave the erring soul of my fellow man with Him from whose hands it came.” Judge Thomas, in Loudon Circuit Court, has decided in favor of the valid ity of a sale of land during the war for Confederate money. The foimer owner tried to get the Lnd back. Sumner is reported to have said that “before we stop wc will have a stable Government.” The Senator meant sa ble. Anew system of telegraphing, claim ing to obviate many of the defents of of the Morse system, was tried on the Western Union Company’s wires at : Portland tho other day, and was report , cd to he successful. DAWSON, GA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, ISOS. The Ol<l Book. “Edwin, I want to tell you of an! old book that I have been looking : at.’ “That is right, uncle! that is right! How old is it ?” “Only about five or six thousand years.” “Five or six thousand years J You are joking with me. Has it any pie tnres in it ?” “Pictures 1 It has nothing but pic tures in it !

Oh, let us have the book spread out. on the great round table. 1 see we shall have a fine treat. The book, uncle The old book I” “As ,o spreading it out on the great round table, that will be impossible; for it is far too large for any table to hold it.” “I never heard of such a thing ! A bo >i£ larger than the great round ta ble ! That must be a curiosity ! Wo will open it then on the parlour floor.’ ‘The parlour floor is not half large enough ’ ‘Uncle, you astonish me! But wo must have the book opened, however big it may be; we can find room lor it on the lawn, I am sure.’ “Not so, Edwin; for the book of which I have been speaking is larger than the world ?’ ‘What! larger than the world ? Now uncle! how can you possibly make it out that this old book, let it be what it will, is larger than the world ?’ ‘I think you will admit that it is so, when I tell you that the old book is the sky, and that (he pictures are the heavenly bodies and tho beautiful clouds which adorn it * ‘They say 1 But why should you call it a book ? A book is to be read, and how can we read the sky ?’ ‘With a little in-truction, I trust you will be able to read it very well. You have heard of the two great books of our heavenly Father—the book ot Revi latic n and that cf Creatiou. Now, if creation be called a bo(dt ? lor it is indeed a part of God’s great handi work. I hnd that it sets fmth much of our great Creator, which I’am able to read ’ ‘Oh ! howl should like to be able to read the book of the sky !’ ‘Astronomers read the book of the sky, philosophers read it and why should not Christians ? Y r et among the thousands who are daily looking at the pictures of this book how few there are who comprehend shat they mean ! Thousands have not iearned the alphabet of tho skies. But listen, w hile I explain the language of a few of these pictures; for God speaks by them to us and we ought to under stand him. When we see a' ove our heads at night, the great book of the sky opened, and the glowing | icture of the stars spread out before us. it is as though God was manifesting his wis dom. power, and goodness, to us; and the language of the picture is, Believe me !’ ‘I knew you would make it come right.’ ‘When tho tempest is abroad, and the big black clouds hang heavy in the air—when the forked lightnings flush to and fro, and the bursting thunder seems to shake the solid earth and heavens—when the rain comes down like a deluge, what Bays the pic ture of the skies? It says, distinctly as if the voice of the Holy One was heard, Feat, me !’ ‘That is an awful picture ! I seem to understand all that you mean now, uncle ’ ‘When the storm has passed by and the rain has subsided—when the heav ens are lit up on one side by the glori ous sun, and spanned on the other sid ■> by tue glowing rainbow, the picture of the sky appea's to every eye and heart. God speaks thn ugh it, aud bis language is, Trust me!' ‘Better and better ! I do 6eo that you may really read tho pictures in the sky.’ ‘When the heavens above are clear, bright, and blue, aud peaceful; and wlan the piled-up snowy clouds with their sun lit edges are still—when thu vault above is so beautifully tranquil that your spirit feels expanding w ith joy and thankfulness; again it appears as if God were speaking, and the lan guage of the pict-ure ol the old book is, Love me !' ‘You should have been a painter, uncle ’ ‘When the ri-ing sun is gilding the firmament with glory, and when his set'ing beams ate mingling purple, azure, and crimson with a flood, nay, a sea oi molten gold ; we look at the picture with astonishment and admira tion, and though halt bhoded by our tears we are yet able to read what is written in the picture before us Hard ly could tho Lord ol heaven aud earth litter more distinctly the expression, Praise me !’ ‘You make the meaning of every picture so plain that it must be just as you say.’ ‘I have now explained the language of a few pictures in the old book ; but sometimi # the pictures so mingle what is striking, awful, convincing, beauti ful, and transporting, that one thing at a lirn# is not enough to satisfy us, and we are compelled to believe, fear, trust, love and praise him all togeth er.’ ‘Well! I did not expect uncle, when you spoke to me of the old book, that it would turn out to be what it is. At fiist, after you talked of‘thousands of large pictures,’ I fek disappointed to find that it was the sky you meant, but you have satisfied me.

F'>r some time past this pamphlet has engaged tho attoution of our ex changes by its novel aDd startling theo ries of the s'atus of the negro in the scale of creation. Wo have heretofore abstained from any reference to it, be cause we supposed th .t the world Would regard it as we have inclined to do, as au ingenius hoax That, in this day of light and knowledge, much sioned against it is true, any one could be found, so bold and so blind, as to chal lenge the right to a place in the soalc cf humanity, ol so large n portion of tho inhabitants of each, however degraded by ciu’uriesof baibarism in the worst climates of the globe, did Dot enter se I riously into our in agination. We re garded this essay as a quaint and eu lious satire upon the theories of those who have claimed for these children of Ham, a superiority over Shem and Ja phet, in utter violation of the truth as found in the holy scriptures, and veri fied by the world’s history from the days of Noah. But whatever may be the real opinions of this writer, it is manifest that he has been conceived to be in earnest by large numbers of his readers, ap,d has been considered no un worthy antagonist of certain learned Di vines, who with much zeal, if not dis cretion, have done him the honor to at tempt a refutation This proceeding has at once dignified the subject and in vested the pamphlet with a certain strength which it would not otherwise have possessed ; when anything is said or written, revelling to tho religious sense ts Christians; as well as shocking to our ideas cf humanity, (which, hap pily, incline us to elevate ail creatures raihcr than to degrado them) it is al ways a mistake to invest the subject with importance by making it the the me of controversy, because however cun- ! ningly devised, it will sink beneath its own intrinsic defects and fallacies. Cur tainly, to answer aDy grave erroi with out elaborate tin ugb>, is of all things to be deprecated. We fear this has teen done in this case, for the answers of the theologians have not been as well con sidered and as conciu- ivc as th- ir fi iends could have debired, for they generally felt better satisfied of the absurdity of the argument before this attempt to de monstrate it. Ariel has respmdcd in two letters characterised by greater ! learning and ability than the original i argument, and the present atlidude of | the question is uot so triumphant for the ■ cause of truth as wc could desire. We , do not propose to discuss this pamphlet further than to indicate the pns ut as ! pcct cf lie discussion, and as far as we are concerned, to declare most emphat ically, our abtioircnce for the cold blood ed assumption that the negro is aboust, or at best a aian without a s'ul It is their mi f< rtuuc that they have been thrown by thrir pretended friends, io antagonism to the great body ot the whites, Nor.h aud South, and in pro portion to tho extent of their delusion, are they entitled to the forbearance of their on'y true friends, the gentlemen of the South who hove seen their bist qualities, and know their impressibility to religious and moral ideas, and have always regarded the tn as faithful though bumble friend*, whose tit’o to a place in the economy of the great plan of sal vation was as w.-ll established as that of any portion of the race of Adam.— There may be a sort of pleasure io thus flying in the face of opinions long re ceived and cherished by the world, hut surely it must Iu a malignant spirit which could derive satisfaction in de monstrating that this unfortunate peo ple ire no longer to be regarded as aDy thing better than a higher order of monkey, crang-ou«taug orgor.lla. We repeat, we regret that this wild aud cruel theory has been dignified by dis cussion, aud would not have referred to it, but for the Dotieo it has received at tho hands of reverend and learned di viner, which has made it one of the topics of the day.— Camden Journal, Advertising a Succk s in Busi ness—'JheNcw York Tribune has the following upon the value of advertising, and every practical businese man will confirm what it says of the present state of business “Piudence and economy, of course, are the two great lessons to be learned, but there is oue part of these lessons which in dull times is es- ‘ pecially tpt to bo forgotien.

We collect from the Star & Express, of yesterday afternoon, the description of tho retrocession cf the War Depart ment to lien. Edwin M. Stanton. It appears that at nine o’clock yesterday morning tho then acting Secretary of War, General Grant, came to the War Department at usual, and after arrang ing some papers, locked the door of the private ( ffice of the Secretary of War, and, taking the key with him, proceed ed to the headquarters of the Army, nearly opposite the War Dparuncni. About half.past ten o’clock, Mr. Edwin M. Stanton appeared at the War De partment, and proceeded immediate’y to the < tiice usually occupicl by the Scoretary of War. Finding the door locked, he took a scat in the ante room, where he was the recipient ot many j warm congratulations from Senators and members of the House of Represen tatives, who bad assembled apparently to see what had taken place Mr. Stan ton appeared to be in un usually fine spirits and conversed fiecly with all around him. Upon (be arrival of Mr. Stanton, Gen. Deut, the Acting Adjutant Gen eral, of Gen. GraDt as Secretary of War ad interim, Lurried over to the head quarters of the Army to inform Gener al Grant of the fact, and to obtain the key to the Secretary’s office. Iu a few minutes he returned, and plaoed the key iu the bands of Adjutant General Townseud, who, in a sort of “present arms” style, delivered it up to Secrota ry Stauton As soon as the reinstated Secretary was fairly ensconced in his office, the Radical members of the Tennessee dele gation in Congress waited upon him to present their congratulation, and to ask him to use his influence to continue the operations of the Freedmen’s Bureau, iu the Slates of Tennessee and Ken tucky after the 15th of February next, at which time, by order of the Presi dent, it ceases in these S'ates. Mr. Stanton rcp'ied, that so long as he had any power be would use it to pre tect the weak, and would do Lis best to have the request canied out. He further staled that it would be a few days before mat ters would commence to ruu right in bis office. As the Tennessee delegation were withdrawing, '.Ley i.eic mc-t by Gen Grant in the hall. A/ttr exchanging salutations with them, and Genera! Howard who was prosent, and express ing satisfaction at the action of the Sen ate in restoring Mr. S’anton, he walked towards the S«oretary’s office, when the latter appeared at the door and took tLe General warmly by the Laud, and both t pa seel in. It is understood list General Grant aud Mr. Stanton were oloseted togeth er on Monday evening, after tho pas sago of the Senate resolution. During the interview between Gen. Grant sni Mr. Stanton, Gen. Dent transferred bis desk to Gen. Pelouze, who had occupied it during the latter part of Mr. Siautou’s foimer adminis tration of the Department, aud General Ilardic gave up his pcsiticn to General Shriver. At half past two o’olock Mr. Stanton was locked up in his private room with several persons, whoso names were not ascertained. At a lew minutes past three o’clock au order was issued by- Mr. Stanton, informing tho employees of the Department that lie (Mr. S ) had again taken possession of tbc port folio of the W ? ar Office. At four o’olock Mr. Stanton left the War Department for his rcaiderer, giving in his usual wav, various orders to bin messengers who hove usually attended upon his particular (ffice rooms, showing thereby that he had quietly settled down for a continmd stay. It is understood that Mr. idiantOD, during the day, transact ed no official business whatever, rxcfpt to draw his salary of SJOOO for the lime be was out of office. The statement which we take frrtn the afternoon papere, of the circumstan ces of the rccccupatiou of the War De partment by the deposed Secretary, a** tooished no one more than President Johnson, who was greatly surprised at the surrender by Gcd. Grant of the trust reposed in him as Secretary of War ad interim. The people of the country will doubtle.i* be startled at the enun ciation that Mr. Stantan has so quietly resumed possession of the War Depart ment, and will be curious to know how it wag effected. Iu justification of the President, we are at liberty to state the f Lowing additional circumstances, from which our readirs will draw their own conclusions : Smce time after the ap pointment of Gcd. Grant as Secretary of War ad lDtcrim, he had a conversa tion with the President upon the sub ject of the probability of the refusal of ilie S-.iis'e torcecjnlzc thr nit-p* c-ion IV o. 1. of Mr. Stanton, when General Graot s’ated that in suoh event be might not wish to identify himself with either par ty in the controversy, but added, in ef fect ; “I shall in that event either band you my resignation a* AotingSeoretary or let a mandamus be issued igaiost me to surrender my office." Ibis conversation was rone wed from from time to time, and on last Satur day, when Senator Howard’s report from the Senate Committee on Military Affairs in favor of Stanton was under \ discussion, Get. Grant was pointedly j asked by the President if ho had chang ed bis mind in reference to the course he woul 4 pursno if the Senate should re fuse to make Stanton’s suspension final, when ho reiterated the promise previ ously made, that he would eithor hand in his resignation as Setretary of War ad interim early enough for the Presi dent to appoint his successor or take other action be might deem requisite cr allow a mandamus to he served upon him for the surrender of the office ; ad- ) ding a promise to tho President, that he should hear from him on the sub ject on Monday. Monday passed without the promised commuDioalion On Monday evening, 1 after it was known that the Senate had I parsed Howard’s resolutions refusing to ■ recognize the suspention of Stanton as Secretary of War. Gen. Gram was | prceeDt at the leeeption at the Exeou- ! tive Mansion, where he greeted tho President but mentioned notbieg of any 1 change in the determination previously | declared. The President heard noth- j ing whatever from Gen. Graut upon the I subject until twelve o’clock Tuesday, two hours after Mr. Stanton had taken possession of the War Office, when tho following communication was delivered to him by M'-ijor Comstock, one of Gen. Grant’s staff < fficers : Heauc’rs Armies United States, I Washington, D.

The vast j crowd in the galleries, and the silent at tention (1 Senators on the florrof the House, reminded old visitors at (be cap ital of the afternoon when Douglas, al so the champion of the great j rinciples held in his time by a minority of Amer ican citizi ds, commanded tbc sympathies of all men of every political iaitb who could crowd into the ScDato chamber and listen. So unimpeachable 'were many cf the arguments cmyloycd by the Senator, and pointedly put forward were the more decisive statements of fact, that Radical Senators often moved uneasily id their seats, and applause in the gal leties could hardly be suppressed* At time* the speaker, whose voice and frame and dignity of manucr were more lasciuating than they had ever before been, starded the whole Senate into manifest admiration, and even when ho uttered his most stinging accusations and , sareaFics against the party ar.d the men * who are trying to imitate Sampson by raziDg the pillars of constitutional gov ernment, his b-aring was too manly and bis accent too free from anything more personally rffensive than the honest in dignation of a patriot to cau e a single Senator to protest.
