The Daily Evening Mirror, PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON BY J. W. BURKE & CO. VOL. I. From the New York Freeman’s Journal. The Conquered Banner. Furl that Banner! for ’us weary, ’Round tis staff his drooping dreary ; Furl it, fold >l, it is best; A, For there’s not a man to wave it, And there's not one left to lave it, In the blood which heroes gave it; And its foes now Scorn and brave it; Furl it, hide it, let it rest. Take that Banner down ! ’tis tattered, Broken is its staff and shattered, And the valiant hosts are scattered, Ocr whom it floated high. Oh I ’tis hard for us to fold it; Hard lo think there’s none to hold it; Hard that those who once unrolled it Now must furl it with a sigh. Furl that Banner! furl it sadly; Once ten thousands hailed it gladly, And ten thousands wildly, madly, Swore it would forever wave— Swore thrtt foeman’s sword could never Hearts like their's entwined dissever, 'Till that flag would float forever O’er their freedom or their grave. Furl it! for the hands that grasped it, And the hearts that fondly clasped it, Cold and dead are lying low; An 1 that Banner, it Is trailing While around it sounds the wailing Os its people in their woe ; For though conquered they adore it; Low the cold dead hands that bore it, Weep for those who fell before it, Pardon those who trailed and tore it, And oh! wildly they deplore it, Now to furl and fold it so. Furl that Banner ! true ’tis gory, Yet ’tis wreathed around with glory, And ’twi 1 live in song and sto-y, Though its folds are in the dust; For its fame on brightest pages, Penned by poets and by sages— Shall go sounding down through ages— Furl its folds though now we must. j Furl that Banner! softly, slowly; Treat urgently—it is holy— For it droops above the dead, Touch it not —unfold it never, Let l droop there furled forever, For its people’s hopes are dead. The Cotton Trade. Nkw Orleans, Jan. 3.—Messrs. Neill Bros. & Co.’s cotton report of December 3d, says: Our advices from all points fully confirm us in the opinion that the estimates of the total supply given in our last circular were not tooj high, inclining us to the outside figures, 2,100, 0 0 bales. The course of trade lias been a good deal changed by the want of the customary rise in the rivers. Instead of the receipt of 100,000 bales weekly, the average has been restricted to 60,000 bales. The information now, from all points, is that the rivers are rapidly rising, and the receipts are already on an increasing scale. The receipts here and at Mobile for the weeks ending December 16th, were 22,169 bales ; De cember 22d, 82,684 bales ; and December 29th, 3T,200 bales. The* receipts at all points, and cotton for warded North already, amount to 1,300,000 bales, thus controverting Secretary McCulloch’s estimate of 1,300,000 bales for the entire supply of old and new. There are no signs of any serious falling off in the receipts at any point, and the effeef of the use of the rivers will be to protract the delivery of the staple to a comparatively late date. • The queetion rises, will not the strength of the large holders at Mobile and New York be exhausted before the first falling offtakes place, and can that strength continue if cotton con tinues to he piled up in the ports? Already the stock at leading points exceeds 600,060 bales, and is daily increasing, whereas the total foreign exports since the Ist of Sep tember amount to only 300,000 bales. Down to the latest dates from all points, so far as present, indications can he trusted, they think it not unreas nable to anticipate a crop for 1866 and 1861 of 1.600,000 bales to 1,800,000 halos, w Lei oof not less than half will be re tained in the country—or say 230,000 or 300,000 hales from the Atlantic States and Florida, and 1,300,000 to 1,500,000 bales from the other Southern States. 'tYßA’f the Presid'Hnt thinks of Reconstruc tion. — Hon. Hiram McCulloch called on Presi dent Johnson a day or two since, and had a free and frank conversation with him. The Bresiaeht expressed'liis full confidence' in being able to restore the entire union of the States to the satisl'ictitin of ail national and reasonable men without any further humiliation of the South.

The Home Journal.—lVe have often had occa sion to quote this excellent and readable weekly, and few papers come to our office so full of in teresting matter, whether extended in the form of stories and essays, or condensed in pointed and sprightly paragraphs. It will be seen that the programme for 1366 is very brilliant, and from a long experience of its past perform ances, we can have no doubt its present promises will be rigidly kept. The merits of the Journal only need to be generally known to be cordially recognized. The paper under its efficient man agement, takes its rightful place among the most extensively circulating weeklies in the country. In addition to the general attractive ness of its matter, it has a marked individuality, which discriminates it from all its rivals, and makes it emphatically the “ Home Journal.” Boston Transcript, Dec, 1865. Quiet lady-like society—dumb belles. Wealth is not apt to be modest—the face on a guinea never blushes. The young gentleman who flew into a passion has had his wings clipped. Why is a kiss like some sermons ?—Because there are two heads and an application. Why is kissing your sweetheart like eating soup with a fork ? Because it takes a long time to get enough of it. Death is the gate through which all must pass, but it is not, aS is befteved, the gate of the un known. . The Washington Republican gravely an nounces that “sorhfe bf the men heretofore call ed ‘ detectives,’ are now known as ‘ the detect ed.’ ” About the hardest case ever heard of was a murderer named Stone, executed many years since in Exeter. Just before the rope was placed round hia neck, he requested the sheriff to him a mug’. of ale. The request was promptly attended ;he took the cup and commenced bibwing the froth from the ale. “What are you doing that for?” nervously ask ed the sheriff “ Because,” returned the per fect wretch, “ I don’t think froth healthy.” Sydney Smith, one day observing Lord Brougham’s one-horse carriage, on the panel of which appeared a “ B ” surmounted by a coronet, said to a friend, “ There goes a carriage with a bee outside and a wasp within.” NEW JUVENILE BOOKS.
