Immediately preceding The election, we re-
ceived a letter from highly respectable source in

81 repeat what wrote before the election that
Governor Wright having positively refused to
grant any more pardons il reelected, Mr. Young
was applied TO, and unhesitatingly promised, il
elected, 10 grant The pardons asked ior."

POETRY.
ftrom u. Sarauuah Republican,

From Lsc S0rdN?sah heph0UCdH.J
We publish with great pleasure the following
heautitnl and touching Stanzas from The pen o
one we'll known in our city. They were enclosed
in private letter from The author 10 the Editor
dated at Camargo, September 23d, 1876. Though
penned amid The turmoil and hustle OF The camp
they breathe the true poetic inspiration, and arr
marked by that vigor OF thought and elegance
dcton BY which many OF The authors produc
lions are characterized:
MY WIFE AND CHILD.
The tattoo beals-lhe lights are gone
The camp around in sumber lies
The night with solemn pace moves on
The shadows lhicken DER the skies
Bot sleep nv weary eye hath flown,
And sad, uneasy thoughts arise
Think of thee, oh! dearest one
Whose love mine early life hath blest-
OF thee and him-our baby SON
Who SAUNDERS on thy gentle breasl-
Cod OF the tender, frail and lone,
Oh guard that little sleepeTs rest!
And hover, gently hover near
To her whose wachful eye is wet
The mother, wife, the doubly dear,
In whose Young heart have freshly met
Two streams of love so deep ana clear,
And cheer her dropping spirit yet
Now as she kneelS tefore Thy throne,
Oh! teach her, Ruler OF The skies!
That while 10y thy behes, alone
Earh's migh,iest powers fall or rise,
No tear is wepl 10 thee unknown,
Nor hair is lost, nor sparrow dies +!
Tha, thou can'st stay the ruthless hand
OF dark disease, and soohe lis pain
That only by The stern command
The battles lost, the soldiers slain
That from the distant sea or land
Thou bTingst the wanderer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her ear-wel cheek is sadly pressed,
Nav happier visions beam upon
The Frightening currents Of her breast,
Nor frownins look, nor angry lone
Disturb the Sabbath OF her resi-
Wherever fate those forms may throw
Loved with passion almost wild,
BY day, by night in JOY or woe,
By iears oppressed, or hopes besuiled,
From every danger, every foe, .,,,
