correspondent of the N. Y. Post furnishes the fol-
lowing perfect copy of Bayard Taylors prize song
The first verse omitted for breviy, most barba-
rous proceeding which quite destroyed the effect Of the
whole The song has been severely criticised by those
who did not understand the circumstance. Had the
third verse been omitted, it would have manifested bet
ter t,ste.
'Tis said that in silence the heart must reveal
What the faltering lip to its pleading denies,
When the warmth of its beating may not conceal,
And grateful emotion is soft in the eyes.
But silence itself, in the region of song,
Is music made sweeter and purer in tone,
And the minstrel whose hopes that region belong,
Must feel in its beautiful language alone.
greet, in that language, the Land of the West,
Whose Banner of Stars DER world is unrolled,
Whose empire o'ershadows Atlantic's wide breast,
And opes to the sunset 1t gateway of gold
The land of the mountain, the land Of the lake,
And rivers that roll in magnificent tide
Where the souls of the mighty from sluu'bers awake
And haow the soil for whose freedom they died
Thou cradle of Empire though wide be the foam
That sewers the land of my fathers and thee,
hear, from thy bosom, the welcome from home,
ForSong has home in the hearts of the Free
And long as thy waters shall CLEAN in the sun,
AS long as thy heroes remember their scars,
Be the hands ofthy children united as one,
And peace shed her light ON thy Banner of Stars

the first bale Of cotton to Market has very per-
Acious spon prices and b calculated to pro-
duce great deal Of harm. Such 10 the anxiety among
planters be the FIRST to get new bale Of cotton to
market that expense deters them and frequently
small parcel part Of bale is hurried down TO new
Orleans and great noise made about It, This goes ts
Liverpool where spinners and SPECTATORS are seizng
upon every movement to depress prces and the fact
that part of single bale Of the new crop has been
received, Is sufksnt to remove Whatever apprehen-
sions may have previously existed relative to short
CROP and the effect immediately seen In the quota
tions We have not the slightest doubt but that there
is loss to the country at large Of full half msn
of dollars annually, by this foolish competition among
planters to get the FIRST few pounds of new cotton to
market. Cotton picked out in this way generally
costs much than IL brings, and is, therefore,
losing business to the planter who comes Of victorious
from the contest.
According TO returns which have lately been made
to the British Parliament appears that on the 3lst
of December last the number Of miles Of railroad open
