The steampship Empire City arrived yesterday,
with $3.50, eco in gold dust, and one hundred and
iity passengers She brings advices from Havana
TO the I'd inst Among her passengers is Captain
Robert Ellis, of the Lopez expedition, who vas
liberia and furnished with free passport by the
Captain General, a short time before the steamer
sailed. Forty one CT the prisoners shipped for
Cadiz on the LIST inst, and some thirteen, who were
quite sick would follow their companions to spain
as coon as they were pronounced sufficiently well to
undertake the voyage. Many interesting items
relative to these unfortunate men viii be found
elsewhere.
From the few returns received Of the election in
Georgia, last Monday, we should judge that the
Union ticket has been generally successful. In all
the precincts, except one, Howell Cobb, late
Speaker of the House Of Representatives, and
faithful supporter Of the compromise measures, il
far ahead of the Southern rights candidate for the
Goyernorship. This is certainly most gratifying
news, although it is nothing more than was an

IL is reported that Col. JEFF. Davis has Withdrawn
from the canvass for the Governorship of Missis-
sippi Verify, the tide Of secession is at very low
ebb in that State.
Our accounts from Mexi:o represent the affairs
of that country to be still in most unsnviabe
diiion The inhabitants of Durango were suffering
from a famine produced by the depredations Of the
indians, Who are alleged to have destroyed nearly
all the crops in that neighborhOod. 1t was the un-
checked proceedings of these ruthless savages 10.
&c Der with the heavy taxes levied upon all mer-
chsntable articles that caused the people in North
ern Mexico to REBEL and untertake the expulsion Of
the government authorities from that section of the
county The revolutionists at the last dates were
quietly resting their labors at Csmargo, after
havir driven out the Mexican soldiers; and the
present aspect Of affairs intimates that there will
be a cessation of hostilities for awhile. However,
these Spanish Americans swallow considerable
quantities Of red pepper and other very warm ingre
dents so that it will only require one or two pro-
nunciamentos to again set them in blaze.

Gardens Of the Eass.

Mr.. kinglake, in his work entitled
Eothen, gives the following interesting
description of the garden Of Damascus:
This Holy Damascus, this Earthly
Paradise Of The Prophet, so fair TO his
eyes that he dared not trust himself TO
tarry iE her blissful shades-she is a city
OF hidden palaces. ofcopses, and gardens.
and fountains, and bubbling streams.-
The juice of her life is the gushing and
ice cold torrent that tumbles from the
snowy sides of Anti Lebanon. Close a.
long the rivers edge through seven swee.
miles of rustlfhg boughs and deepest
shade, the city spreads on. her whole
length; rs man falls fiat, face forward
OH the brook, that he may drink and
drink again, SO Damascus. thrstlng for
ever, hes down with her lips to the
stream. and cl;ngs TO its rushing waters.
Wild as the highest woodland of a de-
serted home in England, but without it's
sweet sadness, is the sumptuous garden
of Damascus. Forest trees, tai and
stately enough, If you could see their
lofty crests. vet lead a tussling life of i,
below, with their branches struggling a.
gainst strong numbers of wild bushes
and wilful shrubs. The shade upon the
earth is black as night. High, high a
bove your head, and on every side all
down to the GROUND, the thicket is hem.
med in aud choked up by the in.erlacing
boughs that droop with the weight Of
roses, and load the slow air with their
damask breath. The rose trees which
| saw were all Of the kind we call dam
ask; they grow to an immense height and
size. There are no other flowers. Here
and there, there are patches of ground
made clear from the cover, and these are
either carelessly planted with some COM
mon and useful vegetable, or else are left
free to the waywaid ways of nature, and
bear rank weeds. moist looking and cool
to your eyes. and freshening the sense
with their earthly and bitter fragrance
There is lane opened through the thick
ct, so broad in some places that you can
pass side by side--in some so narrow
1.-THE shrubs are for ever encroachinp)
that you ought, if you can, to go on the
first and hold back the bough Of the rose
tree. And through ihiSwilderness there
tumbles loud rushing stream, which is
halted at last in the lowest corner of the
garden, and then toseed up in fountain
by the side Of the simple alcove. This
is all. Never for an instant will the
people ofDamascus attempt to separate
the idea OF bliss from these wild gardens
and rushing waters.

WHEN l AM OLD.

p j. g
When | am old---and oh! how soon
Will Lifes sweet morning yield to noon;
And moons broad, fervid, earnest light
Be shrouded in the solemn night,
Till like story well nigh told
Win seem my life when am old.
When am old this breezy earth
Will loose for me its voice Of mirth;
The streams will have an under tone
Of sadness, not by right their own.
And Springs sweet pow'r in vain unfold
Its rosy charms when am old.
When am old shall not care
To deckw flowers my faded hair;
Twill be no vain desire of mine
In rich and costly dress to shine;
Bright jewels and the brightest gold
Will charm me not when am old.
When lam old my friends win bo
Old and infrm and bowed, like me;
Or else, their bodies meath the sod,
Their spirits dwelling safe with God;
The old church bell will then have tolled
Above their rest. when am old.
When am old I'd RATHER bend,
Thus sadly DER each buried friend,
Than see them lose the earnest truth
That marks the friendship of our outh;
Twill be so sad to have them cold,
Or strange to me, when am old.
