TO MY sIsTER--AFTER SADNESS.
BY c. C. EASTMAN.

BY C. C. EASTMAN.
The cloud hath passed over -
That dqrkened my soul,
And every freed pulse
spurns the demons control;
Joy, again, ike Il bird,
TO my weary brain sings,
And Health balhes in bliss,
My spirits glad wings.
To the come, Sister,
Fot long is The while,
Since my heart drank thy beauty,
Thy laugh and thy smile;
IT'S sweet to be near thee,
Now sorrow hath fled,
And feel, by the window,
Thy hand ON my head.
AS the swan to the ocean,
When melIow-Iipped Spring
Hath kissed the blue waves
Till they murmur and sing;
As the tlocks 10 the hills,
When the fields first are green;
As the bird TO her nest
When the eve-star is seen;
As an exile, grown old,
10 the land Of his home,
As the roe to the healh,--
TO thee have come.
Am ! welcome? | am,
For thine eye and thy cheek,
Are telling me more
Than thy sweet lip can speak.
As ! goze in thy face,
Half turned from me now,
With the sweet winds of June
Streaming over my brow,
! think, half in sorrow,
Of years that have fled
Other, still lamented,
The loved and the dead
Though scarcely eight summers
Have blossoned for thee,
Yet how plain in each line
All thy .Wotter see;
Her eye, deep and earnest,
Her look still so dear,
Her hair, brown and parted,
Her smlle,--Hll are here
A if she had left
While our course we fulfil,
Her likeness, to bid US
Remember her still.
And perhaps, even now,
From the blue over head,
10 where from all sorrow
Her spirit hath fled,
She sees us, her children,
Thy small hand in mine,---
And smiles, us promise,
Ny joy shall be thine.
Thou art welcome, my brother,
Bat why, way ward one,
When sadness was ON thee,
My love didst thou shun?
Let me be by thee ever,
! can break the dark spell,
Thou shat, my sweet sister,
My oWR hRABEL.

STATE PoLIT1cs.-The citizens of Missis-
sppi who have paid any attention TO their pol
itcs for the last six months, are not now 10 be
Informed the subject which will present the
true issue between the two political parties of
this State at the next election for State officers
Our late Van Buren, opponents for some
four years have wagea an unrelenting war
against State Banks and every thing else Eek
cept themselves) with which they are connec
ted. We think that this rage continues and
was commenced with a, bad face by a party
which has been mainly Instrumental in their
establishment and swindlilg operations. Let
this war of Democracy rage on against these
enemies Of the people,if they are properly so
considered, they are enemies oftheir own Gre
alton. II they were created to swindle the
honest people out oftheir dearest rights, they
were created by Democrats. 1t appears now
that the Democratic party intends to demoish
| them for the same cause.
But to the true issue. The Miss. Union
Bank Bonds are to be paid the Wing party
and Wing principles are triumphant at the fall
elections. Those who desire that their State
should re-assume a noble and lofty attitude
among her sisters Of the Republic, are called
upon to lay aside personal considerations, and
60 to the polls prepared to do themselves and
their State justice. lie. life, let property, LEI
every thing pass away as chaff before the
breeze before the honor of your State and your.
selves shall be Frustrated. IfDemocracy again
unfurls her blighting banner over the State
they are not to be paid; but the honor of no.
bic and rich State will be sacrificed upon the
altar of sordid God, for the pitifnl sum o.
about two millions at most.
Upon this subject Democrats, come out
and express openly your appreciation of those
whom you have placed at your head as suitable
instruments to carry out your principles and
measures, and say ifthis is not the ground
which you have assumed for the coming can
vass. We are prepared to meet you, and il
we fight with but single weapon, The honor
Of The State, the cause will be triumphantly
ours. Your unmitigated charges ofcorruption
fraud and swindling, we viii turn upon your
own heads and use those shafts which you
have hurled on ours, to demoIish a cause which
has found resting place in the cupidty of the
human heart alone.

More of the Piracy Case Of Schooner Mogul.
- simultaneously with the publication here,
Mr. Bergen caused two Philadelphia papers to
give all the particulars known as to the suppo-
sed piracy. The same account has caused
Capt. Snow to he traced from Tuckerton to
Philadelphia, with all his sayings and doings.
Mr.. B. has letters from Philadelphia and else
where, showing how much the public are alive
to case of this character. The captain, mate
and one man went to Philadelphia, and arrived
in New York on Sunday night. They put up
at the Northern Hotel, entering their names
properly. There is no doubt, that Capt. Snow
intended to have made a good story as to the
loss ofhis vessel, as his log book was all writ
ten up to the last day with great accuracy
His baggage is secured. He yesterday sent a
note to Nesmith & Leeds, requesting them TO
get ont all the letters and papers. Mr. Ber
gen caused the letters 10 be distributed, but no.
thing as 10 money is elected. Capt Snow has
not called to see his owners. He was yester-
day hidden in the forepeak, Il under the FORE
caste) OF the brig Volta, at pier RIO. 10; but
as friend gave him information that the u.
). Marshal was after him, he got on board the
brig fremont, and finally escaped observation
until night. He was seen and spoken to by
four eastern captains. They connived at his
escape so far, as to refrain from giving infor-
nation to the officers and agents.
This morning,some of them boasted of their
knowledge of his whereabouts, and spoke of
the horrid state of mind Captain Snow is in.
and of his miserable condition, and pleaded that
they could not give him up, as the punishment
Of his alleged crime is death. Thus they, as
master mariners, place their own characters
in jeopardy, and east stigma upon the profess

That the vessel was fradulently lost is now
