Who. when thine infant life was young,
Delighted, DER thy cradle hung,
With pity soothed each childish moan,
And made thy little griefs her owns
who sleepless watched in hours of pain'
Nor smiled till thou vert well again
Who sorrowed from thy sight to part,
And bore thee, absent, on her heart
Thy mother, boy! How canst thou pay
Her tender care by night and day!
Who joined thy sports with cheerful AIR,
And joyed to see thee strong and fair
Who, with fond pride, to guest and friend'
Would still the darling child commend
Whose tears in secret. flowed like RAIN,
If sin or woe Thy life did staiu'
And who with prayers unceaslng slgh'
Besought for thee home on high!
Thy mother, boy! How canst thou pay
Her fireless love by night and day!
Bear on thy brow the lofty smile
or upright duty, free from guile;
With earnest diligence restrain
The word. the look, that gives her pain;
II weary toll her path invade,
Come fond and fearless TO her aid;
Nerve the young arm her steps to guide;
If fades her check, be near her side;
And by life Of goodness pay
Her care and love, by night and day

Correspondence of the Hawk Eve.

FoRT MADISON, Oct. "a As.
FMR EDIroR:-We have a glorious
scramble going on for office in the EN-
pire county, Two Of our legislators
have left their seats vacant and The rush
for the empty places is prodigious. We
have already six Richmonds in The field
to supply the place Of Stewart and Ander-
son. First then, is the Anti Mormon
ticket, second the 'possum' ticket, third
and last, but not least the simon pure
magnum bonum democrat ~ ticket, The
meeting which took up this last named
ticket met Yesterday evening and was a
most beautiful specimen Of the harmonious
Democracy: II was got up chiefly by a
few who were disappointed in not pro-
curing nominations at the Anii-Mormon
meeting few evenings before, and came
together without any previous notice. A
very ambitious young man who has been
an applicant for all vacant Offices from the
highest to the lowest at home and abroad,
was chief cook. II is the first opportunity
he has had for long time to figure in a
public meeting and he did so'wiih loose
ness.'
= There were abou, twenty active in the
meeting, nearly all expecting nominal
ton and considerable number of specta-
tors. The most sensible speech was
made by DR. Galland Wing, and a NUN.
Der of very witty passages took place be-
tween a great office seeker named Vroo-
man and DR. Hogan of Keokuk of the
'possnm party in which the latter Goored
,lhe former completely.
- A motion was made to adjourn for a
few DAYS until full notice could be given
to the Democracy but this was voted
down, az it did not sui, the views of the
asPirants present Another motion was
made 10 adopt the democratic mode of
making the nominations in the open meet
ing bnt this was also vetoed and tha, duty
was turned over to committee. That
committee nominated two Of the weakest
men in Lee county. and as they are both
strong locos and division men they will
get but very few votes at this precinct
@<Gen. Browne and Col. Patterson the
AMI Mormon candidates. are superior in
every respec, to any others before the
people and will be elected easily.

The most exciting news is in respect to
the crops. The unfav"rableness of the

of others, and operated largely in buying
up wheat before the news was generally
known.
Owing to the failure Of the Potatoe
crop, Rice is in great demand.
Upper and Lower Hungary have been
laid waste by foundations. Upwards Of

Rail road specula,ions are as rife as

Morton wrote a letter 10 Henshaw, and

TO be his property as they were addressed

says tina. he considers no part Of the cor
respondence as confidential. although il
was so marked. Hazewell, the present
editor of the Ohio Statesman, is inplicai-
ed in this correspondence. He says that
one Of Morton's statements is ga delibe-
rate and unqualified falsehood. This is
the same Marcus Morton who has always
been held up as the very pink of Demo-
cracy, until it was found that he could
not, as Collector, give all the hungry To-
cos office, and now they accuse him of
all sorts Of misdemeanors. John Ran

nearing his house and supposed that these
were the incendiaries. He accordingly
prepared to meet them. As soon az they
came near the house and before any expla-
nation could be made, he fired first a
pistol and then gun at the officer. The
contents Of the pistol entered the right
breast Of the officer and those Of the gun
struck him in ihe left side. The soldiers,
