We must, to do Justice, add that the letter it.
self is one to IA private person, and a man of bu-
siness only, and that the extract embraces all
that lie says about politics, in reply 10 a few re-
marks on that subject, introduced into a letter
OF business. The character OF these remarks
is such as may be easily inferred from the an
swering illusions. The closing one refers to
the interest in the event, for his sake, which his
correspondent has expressed. The date is Of
the 18th instant.
1t is certainly pleasant to be permitted thus
to peep, as it were, intothe unstudied confidence
of such a man, and find all there so worthy os
him, of the great cause which he has invinciblv
upheld, and so firmly fixed in tina, high feeling
of duty which has been the leading and con-
slant idea of Mr.. Clay's public life.

For The Northern Tritune.
To Fanny.

To thee, dear girl, my bosom owes
Of earthly bliss its sweetest thrill
81 To be with thee aid share thy smiles;
Has been balm for every i'll.
AS mists dissolve and quickly flee
Afore the up rising god of day,
So when with thee have sorrows clouds
Passed like the morning mist away. -
With thee life's happlest hours hBve sped,
In iOnd caress and converse sweet,
Like some enrapturng dream of night,
As bright and blissful, yet as fleet.
When with thee all ife's an xious cares
And toi,s alike have been forgot
Bound by some sweet, enchanting spell, +I
It's duties then were heeded not.
From those delightful hours and scenes,
Shall sparkling rills of pleasure flow
Adown lies rough aud chequ, red path,
Mingllng their sweets with every woe.
Oft as the nectar draught quaff
Then, Fanny, shall | ,hink of thee,
AS fUndy as when last we met
And sat beneath the old oak tree. tt
When time with devastating tread
Shall from this page these lines etface,
Shall not my memory even then
Within thy bosom hold place
In coming life, when scenes like those eye
Through which we passed, shall meet thine
Shall no fond recollection live,
10 tell OF me anu days gone by?
Shall Lethe's gloomy waters flow
> O'er memory's page that holds my name,
And those delightful hours we passed,
No place within thy bosom claim?
n1,a 10 faoI
That with 'dear scenes to memory"
Will aye be linked the name of him
Whose thou lhts will fondly dwell on thee.

Where sparkling liver roll'd;
drow silly lay and listened its tune,
Which floated through the burning noon
Like II magic strain of old
I lisiend its calm delicious sound.
While the gorgeous sunlight flashed around,
And half bethought me twas the time
l had read in many an ancient rhyme,
The famous age of gold:
But q steiner vision DER me crept,
The while in Fancy's lap l slept.
Methought stood within
The dark and dismal mine;
Where-many a hundred fathoms down.
Mammon sits with sable crown,
And Sceptre of diamond shine;
Where-gatherng lavish spells for him,
Perilling health and life and limb
In gloomy caverns drear and dank;
Nursed amid vapors foul and rank,
His lowly bondmen pine;
The many worms, whose threads are spun
TO furnish the silken galb of one.
In a gallery long and black
As the backness of the tomb,
Silent and sad, 1 saw child
A little girl of aspect mild,
Mild yet full of gloom
A calm and gentle looking thing,
As should large Joy to mother bring:
But on berbrow and face so wan
Was writ--ay, writ by the finger OF man
Her most unrighteous doom
The doom of early want and care,
Like a mildew on the promise there.
The many hopes and joys,
The instinct of her years;
The golden gories, dmy yelled
Ia her hearts depths, which darkly swelPd
With unimaginable fears
The simple friendships loves, and ties,
The impulses and sympathies,
The aspirations and the pride
of .chiIdhOod-1ll to her denied
Denied its very tears.
Abii ehted bruised and shattered thing,
In her young beauty's blushing spring.
Day and month and year,
In gloomy bondage there
An alien from the kindly hearth,
From all the pure and bright OF earth
The sky and the Summer air;
Despised, degraded but wiihal
Feeling the iron in her soul,
Till womanhOod's brow is pale with wrong
And nature sinks beneath the thong
And burden of despair;
Forging wealth for Dives land doom
That shall outlast his bTazen tomb.
And thusnhe world goes round 3D..
Soages wax and wane:
Many gather who do not plant
Many toll in woe and want
Many wearthe Chain
Right is subject unto might
Darkness holds The place of Light
Error triumphs over Truth
Justice sickens in her youth
Wisdom speaks in vain
But better time is coming FAST

The Events of lS4S.

We lay before the readers of the Herald, this
morning, as complete chronology OF the startling
events of the world for the year ls4s, as can pos
s,b,y be compiled This should be preserved and
filed away IN the library OF every person 1t forms
HISTORY, such as is seldom to be found In news
paper. Indeed 1t is rare that we have so many I'M
portant occurrences TO crowd into the chronology
of single year. =.
There Is one thing, in connection with record
of events like the one referred to, would suggest
10 our correspondents, and others writing for the
press. namely, that they would always be partcu-
lar to give the date of every event which may oc-
cur, even the hour, when possible and the names
of the leading characters in any important move
ment thereby enabling us to give precise and
accurate account of every occurrence which trans
pres in any part of the world. Should such rule
be adopted, we could present. annually, chrome
lopy of all the momentous events, which chrome
logy would be of the greatest value. In many
cases, we have been obliged, In the record now
given. to omit several events, from an impossl
bllitv of arriving al the correct dates.
We are satisfied, however, that Il, chronolog!
new gwen is the most perfect IN the world, anC
may be considered invaluable to preserve as
table of reference IN all time to come

The DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NoRwIcu-Abou.

fire. which proved TO be at the car factory between
here and Greenvlle. The fire originated in the
long low building principally used IN painting and
finishing of passenger cars tue building, with
It's contents, was consumed. These contents con-
sisted mainly OF seven first class passenger cars,
all or nearly all finished, and ready to be deliver.
ed to the New York and Ere Railroad Company,
tor whom they were built The value OF these
cars was some $1,000 each but we are happy to
learn that the loss is fully covered by insurance.
The Hartford Protection office comes IN for SlO,-

originated in the basement or cellar. where was a

Of prophecy. We ask no favors from any quarter
because the Nee York Herald was the first news
paper that commenced the movement resulting IN
the election OF Gen Taylor. We want nothing
of any administration; and even the admin'stra.
ton Of Gen. Taylor, although we have labor d
enereeticaly, and expended large sums OF money,
TO bring it into being, shall be treated by U.S. here
after, with the same independence and candor
that we have melted out during the last twenty
wears to the administrations that preceded It.
We shall always ascrlbe the purest motives TO
Gen. TAYLOR He is an honest, pure, an inde-
pendent and an honored patriot. Bat yet human
nature Is weak, and the influence OF inludlciou'
and incompetent counsellors may betimes prevail
particularly in such region as that OF Washing
ton. We shall ever be prepared to render to thal
administration, so long 1t acts IN an enlightened
and patriouc spirit, generous and liberal support
But if mistakes should be made, we shall not hesi
tate TO expose and denounce them Still, our con
fdence IN the large, intelligent and vigorous mine
of the President elect leads us toIepose more nope
in the wisdom and success of his administrator
than we have of fear that errors may be committed
which may deserve exposure.

push Other candidates will follow, prob ably to the
amount of dozen or more. of the two names

have the best clam to such an Office, as his capa-
