W•** * 3 * For the Empire State. Mr. K-Mtoi ; Enclosed I hand j r ou a fragment written by my y.i iiu’ friend. Win. F. Wightman, late of this! city. If think it is entitled,from its poetical merits, please give it a place in your coin mas, and oblige one of the admirers of the talented, iliniglinnt hutch known young Poet. A FRIEND. I'VE LOST MT BRITCHES. “It chanced to be a washing day, And all the clothes were drying, A storm came rustling through the line, And set them all a flying ! I saw tite sheets and chimasettes Go riding off like witches, I lost - ah ! bitterly I wept. 1 lost my Sunday britches ! I saw them straddling through the a'r, Mas. too late to win them— -1 Nttv them chase the cloud as if The and I had been in them ; They were my darling and my pride, My liybo<id's only riches— Farewell, farewell, 1 faintly said, By brifclies, oh my britches! I have had many happy years with A tailor kind and friendly, But those young pantaloons have gone, Forever and forever. And not till fate has cut the last Os all my earthly riches, This aching heart shall cease to mourn, My loved, my long lost britches !” - Regularly Sold Out. During the month of January, 1850, while stopping at the Sutter House, in Sacramento City, California, I accidentally overheard a conversation between two gentlemen, one who was from New York city, and had been in the country nearly a year, and the other had just arrived. The new comer was lamenting his condition and his foil}: in leaving an abundance at home, and especially two beautiful daughters who were just budding into womanhood—when he asked the New Yorker if he had a family. 4 Yes, sir; I have a wife aud six Children in Now York—and I never saw one of them.’ After this reply, the couple sat a few mo ments in silence; then the interrogator again commenced: ‘Was you ever blind sir V 4 Xo, sir.’ Another lapse of silence. ‘Did I understand you to say, sir, that you had a wife and. six children living in New York and had never seen one of thefn.’ ‘Yes. sir—l so stated it.’ Another and longer pause of silence. Then the interrogator again inquired: ‘How can it be, sir, that you never saw one of them.’ ‘Why,’ was the response, ‘one of them was born after I left.’ ‘Oh all !’ and a general laugh followed; and after that the New Yorker was especially distinguished as the man who had, ‘had six children and never saw one of them.’ Jons Randolph’s Rebuke to iiis Negroes. —Returning to Roanoke after a long absence, John Randolph discovered that the negroes had been very negligent. The barns were empty, aud there was nothing to eat He de termined to assemble the negroes, and give them a talk. ‘‘Ladies and gentlemen,” said he, ‘ I appear before you with great diffidence on the present occasion ; perhaps, ladies and gentlemen, you feel as deeply as I do, for af ter inspecting the barns, I cannot find any evi dence of your industry during my absence.— What is to be done ? We have nothing to cat, and to avoid starvation, one of us must necessarily run away. Now, ladies and gen tlemen, I have a proposition to make, which is this : that as one of us must run away, we had better compromise the difficulty, and both of’ us run away together.” Texas Legislature. —Mt. Bryan, on the 31st July, introduced in the House a joint resolution, which requires the Governor to convene a special Legislature on or before the Ist of January, 1857, should the antislavery candidate for Presidency be elected; and fur ther, that the Govenor forward a copy of these resolutions to the Govenorof each slaveholding State. The resolutions were referred to the Committee ou State affairs. He got ik. —At a camp-meeting, last sum mer, not more than fifty thousand miles from Boston, the trumpet had called the congrega tion together, but a crowd of ilders and row dies stood outside the range of seats and would not come in. The presiding elder invited them twice with no effect. Then after singing a hymn, turned to the crowd and said—“As man v of yon as havn’t got the itch,’ or small pox, or any other contageous disease, we shall be glad to have come forward. All others will remain outside.”—Not one was left out. *S?*Two Irishmen, ojice crossing a field, came in contact with a Jackass, which was making “daylight hides” with his unearthly braying. Jimmy stood a moment in astonish ment, and turning to Pat, who also seemed enraptured with the song, he remarked:—“lt’s a fine large ear that bird has for music, but lie’s got a wonderful bad cowld!” Kansas Emigrants. The Leavenworth Journal of the 6 th instant., contains the following notice of the arrival in Kansas Territory of a Company of Emigrants from this city.— Geo. Tel. “The Cry is Still They Come.” Capt.

Good News from New Hampshire.— A pri vate letter from the Hon. Edmund Burke, to a gentleman in this city, says: “The prospccts*of Buchanan are very favor able in this State, and we have strong hopes of securing the Electoral vote of the State for the Democratic candidates.” Capt.
