AFFAIRS IN P1TTsBURG.-We gave a few days
ago an account of the arrest of ex-high constable
Randolph, by the Mayor of Pittsburg. The ar
rest was based on the purport of letter written
to gentleman of that city, from Welsburg, Va,
charging Randolph with speaking rather harshly
concerning his Honor. Police officer Law was
sent down to find out the name of the writer, but
he telegraphed back that no such person lives
there.
Officer Randolph has been set at liberty, and
suit for false Imprisonment is likely to grow out
of the affair.
The Mayor, himself, seems to be rather unfortu-
nate, and now we have to record his own arrest
On Wednesday last he was taken before Alder

THE CLOUDS.

BY MARY ANN BROWNE.
The clouds! the clouds round the sun at night
They come like band Of slaves,
They are only bright in their masters light,
And each in his glory laves.
oh they are lovely, lovely then,
When the heaven around them CLOVIS;
Now touched with purple and amber stain,
And now with the hue of the rose.
The clouds. the clouds! in the starljt skv,
How they float on the light winds wings;
Now resting an instant, then glancng by,
In their tickle wan behring's
Now they hide the deep blue armament.
Now it shows their folds between,
AS if silver veil were rent
From the jeweIed brow of a queen.
The clouds! the clouds they are the lid
10 the lightning's flashing eve:
And in their feecy folds are hid
The thunder's majesty
Oh ! how their warning is proclaimed
BY the shrill blasts battle song;
And the tempest's deadlest sh ats are aimed
From the midst ofthe dark clouds throng.
Thee louds the clouds my childish DAYS
Are past, my heart is old;
But here and there feeling stays
hat never can grow cold
And the love OF nature is one of these
hat lines wave never shrouds;
And OFT and oft doth my soul find peace
In watching the passing clouds
