THE VISION.

Beside shady oak, reclined an aged man,
Bright silvv locks hung DER lis features pale and wan
His look was calm and vet if close YOU scand his face
On his urrowd brow might you grief and sorrow trace
he sePt-vhlle DER his head the birds caroed their law
And sweety babe farewell to the suns last gm ring raw
he brook unheeded glldes adown the mountain steep
Nature weared seeks Ieposetll did the old man sleep
And visions wild and sweet steal gently DER him now,
And lower on his breast his yielding head doth bow
The scene is still the same, he views the setting sum-
When on ray 50 bright, aye on the brig test one
There stood angel form all clad in robes of white
And round her head there shone ring of Heavily light
And with a smile of joy, seraphs alone,
hese words she softly spoke with and silvy tome
go, come ny Henry, come, why linger here below
In this bleak world of sin, in this drear vale OF woe
Come share with thy Leila a home in yon brightsky
" mere gef thou cans not know shall wet thine
Long hast thou mournd nv loss and ghd to be with me
" haste thee Henry DEAR soul doth wait thee
Zen as she spoke the beam which stood as light
Caught radiance from her and purely bright
Delighted yet amazed, still doubts he Of the truth,
Is she before him there, the companion Of his youth
But ah that Voice, that SMILE longer doubts he now
For could he Ger forget that pure noble brow?
18th outstre'ched hands he cries 'sLea my life nv love.
This home gladly leave, for that with thee aboveo
And then the old starts in haste reach the BEAM
Whes To- he wakes and finds It's but pleasant dream.
All why must hopes, like dews that gsen the flower
However bright they glow-be transient as the hour
And when nearest to the goal Of happiness we SEEM

OLD POINT.
BUCHANAN

1t gives us pleasure to state, as we do on the al-
thority of friend who has spent some days at Old
Point, that there is no cholera or other malignant
disease at that agreeable watering place, neither in
the fort nor in the buildings outside. We learn that
the bathing has proved of the highest benefit to
many delicate persons, and among them Chief JUS
tice fancy and his estimable lady A correspond
ent of the Petersburg Republican thus describes
the attractions of the place;
''For general health the place has no equal; not
a case of cholera has yet appeared. The sea bath
ing is delicious, having over other places the advan-
tage of privacy. The music in the Fort is unsur-
passed; that in the ball room charms and inspires.
The ball room is spacious and handsomely decorated
with paintings and statues, and about twice week
is visited by the ladies from the country and adjacent
towns, affording pleasing variety.
''Among other attractions at this time is the pre-
sence of Chief Justice fancy and family, whose
plain and affable manners, seem to say to ALL come
let us become acquainted and contribute to each
others amusement while here. The Chief Justice
says he has derived much benefit from the sea bath
and his residence at Old Point. His wife who has
been quite nfrm has gained much strength, and
long walks on the sea beach she often takes with
much satisfaction. She is charming old lady, and
it is worth trip to Old Point to see her. The ven,
cradle couple appear in the ball room every night,
and look with delight on the amusemens of the
young"
The fishing, we may add, is said to be superb

GEN. TAYLOR'S PLEDGES.

A Renaissance of the Wing furnishes an anus
ing and unansWerable reply to the assertion of the
Democratic press, that Gen. Taylor has violated his
pledges.
In the address of the Convention of the assembled
Democracy of Virginia, which met in Lynchburg
last year, we find the following passage:
"a CHANGE OF MEN, or TIC translate into some
what palmer language this significant phrase the placing
the public offices at the disposal of the Wig party is
probably controlling motive with many Of those who
rule that party. Gen Taylor, speaking through
the delegation from his State to the Wing National
Convention PLEDGES himself to aid in bringing about
A CHANGE OF MEN and Of measures"
Now if the Democracy of Virginia. through their
collected wisdom at Lynchburg, could conscien-
tiousy assure the country that Gen. Taylor had
pledged himself to put the public offices at the dis
posal of the Wing party, how can they now con-
scentiousy charge him with violating his pledges, if
he does what they said he had pledged himself to
do? Or, to vary the inquiry, which of the Democra-
tic assertions is entitled to credit that made before
the election, that Gen. Taylor had pledged himself
to give the Offices to Wings, that made since his
inauguration, that he pledged himself to do no such
thing?

Charged NTH shooting, Vith intent to KILL Vim Cook
in this city, on the 18th inst
The prisoner brought into Court by the Deputy Ser
geant few minutes before 10 o'clock Shortly after
ness to proceed with the investigation.
The Mayor stated that he did deem proper under
existing circumstances, to proceed He preferred con
sulting the medical attendants of Cook.
At this age, Drs Gibson and Beae made their appear
ance in Court and reply to certain nterregatores sta
ted that they certainly did consider Cooks condition
free from dangerthat gun-shot wounds were ola nature
which frequently reedn death after the elapse of many
days or months from the inflammation of such wounds
that they would be able to decide definitely as to
Cooks condition under 80 days, though the probabilities
that he would recover and each day might add con-
fidence to this latter opinion
The Mayor hereupon stated that he should defer enter
ing into examination OF the circumstances attending the
charge alleged against Loter; and at the instance of
the counsel for the prisoner Monday morning next the
hour OF 10 o'clock, fixed the period for entering
into the examination
Officer T. B. White delivered to the Mayor the revol-

POLITICAL. ASTRONOMY,

As Wing chroniclers of passing events, we can
not but remark that the Democratic armament has
been in a state of extraordinary commotlon since
Gen. Taylor came into power. The stars Of greater
magnitude, instead of moving tremendously OH in
their orbits, have exhibited the most curious petur-
batons and irregularities. The Newtonian theory
of universal attraction seems to have been entirely
subverted, and young Mr.. Tylers counter-proect of
universal repulson manestly in full force. First,
we had the Missouri Jupiter shooting madly from
the Southern sphere, and, in a sweep of his North
ern transit, rushing into violent collision with the
South Carolina Mars. Then Sirius, the MISSISSIPPI
pi dog-star, was seized with sidereal s.: Nitus,
and, without waiting to see what Mars would do,
danced and bounced about the unmoored planet OF
the West, as any snappsh little dog will assa I'M
needed powerful mastiff;, as he walks along But
curiosity was now all directed to Mars, who had
been selected the polar star of the Southern COM
bination but the planet of war was yelled for nearly
two months in dim eclipse. At length, he bursts
out with lurid glare, passes with tremendous I'M
petus ahwart the political sky, and eXplodes his
gathered wrath upon the offending Jupiter. Mean
while feeble ray impnges upon the eye from the
North West. 1t comes from old Saturn, famous fol-
devouring his own offspring, and although he now
appears sadly out of place and rule, he is seen still
engaged in that affeconate occupation (for Genera
Cass can publish nothing now without "eating his
own words.")
What is to be the up-shot of all these alterations
and oppostons? We can read nothing in our horo
scope, but Wing success and good times for the
country
