SONG FOR the NEW YEAR.

Old Time has turned another page
OF eternity and truth;
He reads with warning voice to age,
And whispers a Lesson TO youth
year has fed DER heart and head
Since last the yule log burnt;
And we have a task to closely ask,
What the bosom and brain have learntI
oh let It's hope that sands have run
With wisdom's precious grains
Oh may we find that hands have done
Some works of glorious palms.
Then welcome and cheer to the merry new year
While the holly CLEANS above US,
With pardon for the foes who hate,
And prayer for those who love us.
We may have seen some loved ones pass
To the land of hallow'd rest;
We may miss the glow of an honest brow
And the warmth of friendly breast;
But If we nursed them while on earth,
With hearts all true and kind,
Will their spirits blame the sness mirth
Ofthose true hearts left behind'
No, mol il were not well or wise
To mourn with endless pain;
There's a better world beyond the skies,
Where the good shall meet again.
Then welcome and cheer 10 the merry new year,
While the holly CLEANS above us,
With pardon for The foes who hate,
And prayer for those who love us.
Have our days rolled on screnely free
From sorrows dim alloy
Do we still possess the gifts that bless
And fill our souls with Joy
Are the creatures dear still clinging near?
Do we hear loved voices come
Do we gaze on eyes whose glances shed
A halo round our home
oh, five do, let thanks be pour'd
To Him who hath spared and given,
And forget not DER the festive board
The mercies held from heaven.
Then welcome and cheer 10 the merry new year,
While the holly CLEANS above us,
With pardon for the foes who hate,
And prayer for those who love US.

From The Ereninr Posi

We are permitted TO take the following ex-
tract from letter just received in this city,
HUDsoN, December 25, 1874.
Sour anti-rent troubles are on the increase.
The examination Of the four prisoners now go
ing on, is likely TO unravel all the secrets OF
their association formed in this county on the
18th of October last. II enros some very re-
spectacle farmers, and what is more astonish-
lug, some too who own their lands in fee.
very respectable farmer was committed to
day from the witness stand, who refused TO
testify and 10 answer question which he said
did not criminate himself. After some hours,
he sent message to the Court that he was
willing to answer all questions put him.
he was then put on the stand, and testified
TO many important facts. So that with few
such witnesses we shall at no distant day put a
quictuS upon that az Iau spIIiI III TINS COun-
ty. This rebellion fiourishes well in our man.
or towns, as ignorance is genial soil for its
growth.
Last evening messenger arrived from Al
bany informing us that in the noon cars of To-
day, the Burgess Corps with 800 stand of arms
in addition TO their own, would come TO our
aid, and five can fetch the first of January,
shall then have full faith in our new Governor
elect, as he will probably at once declare these
several counties in state OF Instruction, and
quarter troops in every infected district.
Our sheriff received message this morning,
and from reliable source, that the Anti Rent
ers were personally notified last night, in the
town of Copake, 10 hold themselves in readiness
at moments warning, to march to Hudson,
fire the city and release the prisoners.
Let them come; our tables are set, and our
citizens quite ready TO wait upon them.'

LATER FROM MEXICO

The progress of The Revolution thereby
the way OF Havana, we have later dates from
Vera Cruz, than by the way of New Orleans
through a steamer arriving at Havana from
Vera Cruz.
We have previously stated that the Mexican
congresa had ordaral al. manitestoes of the
Revolutionary General, Paroles, to be printed,
thus lending their seeming sanction TO his
movements, and that Santa Anna had taken
command of the. 10000 men in the District OF
Jalapa to proceed against him and his COM
mands.
Accordingly, as we already know, Santa
Anna issued his proclamation, put himself al
the head of 1000 infantry, 1900 cavalry and &c
field pieces, and on the esd he lett Mexico and
marched towards Quretaro, with General Re-
yes, to which point the troops followed him.
About this time the Mexican Congress passed
a resolution censuring the Minister at War fol
having issued orders TO Santa Anna TO take
command of the Army of the Republic, when
the constitution prohibited the Supreme Exec
utlve from acting in that capacity. The reply
OF the Secretary not having been deemed salts
factory, they decided that General Santa Anna
had been assigned TO command the troops of a
district and was not placed at the head of the
army-lt was therefore deemed necessary that
the Minister should forthwith suspend the
command Of Santa Anna. Meanwhile Gen
Bassadre has been appointed to take his place
