HYMN TO THE SUN.
A POEM.

POEM.
King of the world, and Of the day, warrior
with the golden locks, what hand cover
ing Thee with golden armor, abandoned
space to thy rapid fight, and traced thy
wonlcd path in lIlc heavens? BY thy
side, no star raises its rival front--lhe
daughters ofnieht pale before thy splen-
dour-lhc moon' flies before thee, with
all unequal pace, and her feeble rays
are swallowed up in the waves. Under
the combined blows of years, and the
winds, The towering head Of the oak
bows low. The mountain even, the
mountain assailed by time, Glls up The
valley with its wreck; hut the Destroy
ing ages spare thy bcauly-an elernal
spring graces Thy youth, thou seizest the
heavens, like an iavinciblc conqueror,
and vows Of love ascend TO thee, inces-
sanity.
When The tempest bursts forth and bel
lows in the air, when the winds cause
tic resouudius chariot which bears the
thunder, 10 roll in the midst Of the light
ming, thou appearest-thou smilcs', and
thou dost console the earth. Alas !!
what time has passed, since thy glorious
rays have ceased 10 strike upon my sight!
shall see thee no more; whether in thy
career, thou sheddesi upon The plain, IN
ocean Of fire; whether the relnuc Of
clouds attend thy Steps in the easI, or
the gloomy waves enclose Illce in their
humid prison! But perhaps, Oh! Sun,
thou shincsl but for Il season. Perhaps,
sinking under the weight of ages, thou
wilt one day,suAer our common destiny;
thou wilt be inscnsihlc 10 the voice of
morning, and wilt sleep in the bosom Of
the clouds.

THE NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR.
We are highly gralifed to wilnesslhe un-
animily manifested in relation to the NOM
inalion of Col. Richardson. Every indi-
vidual we have heard speak Of it, except a
solitary one, decidedly approves Of ii; and
every paper in the State, has declared
itself warmly and zealousy in favor of it,
excep, two-lhe Georgeto,on american and
Pendlcton Mssscnger--the former, so far
as we know, (lor it has come to us very
irregularly for some time past, not having
expressed itself on the subjecti while The
latter, merely thinks it premature, hui
coucurs in the high encomiums on Col.
Richardson. The following is its entire
article on the subject:
"The Charleston Mercury brings TO the
view of the public the name Of Col. John
p. Richardson, OF Sumter, as proper
successor of Gov. Noble, at the expiration
of his term of service. Col, Richardson
was Union man in the contest which
few years since agitated the State. The
Mercury, (always a nulilicr,) speaks Of
the nomination as "a sort Of formal raliG-
cation of the political bond of union," and
adds, "we are sure that no man Of the
old Union party could be named, whom
they and we would more delight 10 honor;
none who has been more true, whether as
an ally or an opponent; none who has al.
ways been more firm, or better tempered
his 6rmness with dicnifcd moderation
so as to command the good feeling and
respect Of all. The successful exertion Of
his great influence in moderaling violence
and promoting harmony, has been felt,
and gratefully appreciated ever since the
first convention against the tariff, and de-
signa,cs him cons picuously MS one in uni
ting to support whom, the old parties should
solemnize their political uniou."
We believe, from our knowledge Of
Col. Richardson, that nothing is here said
Of him which is not deserved. We cer-
tainly know no man Of the party whom VIC

NEW YoRK, Feb. !, 1910.

We had last evening by the Liverpool
packet ship Patrick Henry. news from
Europe nine days later than before, viz: 10
the 26th of December. The British Queen
which has been looked for so earnestly,
for fortnight past is no, coming. She
arrived at tPorlmouth, England, Dec. 25th,
afte" a boisefous passage of 25 days, and
and would lie over until 1st of March,
The steamer Liverpool had not arrived out
and it was doubtful whether she would re-
turn until spring. Old Atlantic roars aud
RACES so in December, that the steamers
have their match with him. The wind
packets get along quite as we'll and rather
better. The news from Engandis Of but
moderate importance. 1t was excepted
that the 1st of January would show de-
cline Of id per lb. on cotton at Liverpool,
but this fall was expected to be produced
by the news carried but out by tie Queen
confirming the large GRO? calculation.-
OF course we are as much in doubt as be-
fore as 10 lIc effect Of that news. In tho
absence of that news the cotton market
remained very much as at our previous
dates. Georgia fair 9sd. with steady sales
amounting, of all sorts, to from 50N0 to
5000 bales daily. Mississippi fair I'd. Ex-
tensive sales were making Of Gennessee
flour in bond al 3ls., which is the prico
previously quoted.
The inquest on the bodies recovered
from The Lexington has been brought to a
close, after, il seems 10 me, very exam
inatiur of all the testimony which could be
got at. The verdict ofjury is also given
with great independence aud honesty, aud

with the testimony. 1t will be likely TO

instun in the total loss, freight, boat and
ali. The stories Of cruel desertion by
