MISCELLANY.
LELA,s CIR We.
By MARY A. Z. FUTILE.

Weep, Ocean, weep! for in her decpes
sleep
Lies Leila, meath thy wave;
Sound on, O surge, with thy mournful dirge
Sound over Lela's grave.
Wild sea-bird, spring on thy snowy wing,
But utter not a cry;
But gently sweep o'er the foaming deep,
Where Leila, sweet, doth lie.
Ye stars that light, mid the silent night,
My Lela's place of rest,
All! tell me are her pale hands there,
Still folded on her breast?
Is her sunny hair, DER her forehead fair,
Yet waving light and free?
o stars that sleep on the mighty deep.
Leave there kiss for me.
Ye winds that float with trumpet note,
Breathe gently DER her form;
o coral caves, meath the green sea waves,
Shield Leila from the storm.

following description of Southern cot.
ton mill:
"When / first went into the mill was
speechless, but my tongue has since been
loosenet, and | have expressed my mind
in tolerably plain English. The girls
in the mill are SO ignorant that we have
to talk with them as though they were
children not more than three years old.
They keep their bonnets on. when in
the mill, and also the men, their hats.
There Is but one clock in the mill, and
no looking glass until we carried in our
own.
"A Northern hog pen is a parlor,
when placed in comparison with the
mill. We had such disturbance about
the dirt that the first superintendent came
in with hoe and shovel, and commeE-
ced work. around the sink, as though
he was in barn yard. Nearly all the
girls in the mill chew tobacco. They
have also small stick, nearly as large
as pipe stem, one end of which they
chew, until il is something like brush,
then they dip il in snuff, put it In their
mouths, and suck il like babe. They
pay twenty-five cents a bottle for snuff,
one of which will last them week. "

From the Bur. Howk- Eye.
The Struggle i'm the South.

In the contest now going on in some
of the Southern States, party politics
seem to be almost entirely forgotten
amid the violence of feeling engendered
by the issue of "Union or disunion." -
Party lines are broken down, and mem
bers Of different parties meet together
and work together, in full communion,
as Union men or disunionists.
In Georgia, "Union' and Secession
are the standards under which the can
dida,es rally. The Savannah Republi-
can, always whig paper has the name
of that of an eminent democrat, Howell
Cobb at the head OF its columns as a
candidate Cor Governor; while the &c Geor-
gian." democratic paper, opposes his
election, and supports Mcdonald, the
candidate Of the Secessionists.
In Mississippi, Gen. Foote is the Un-
ion candidate for Governor, and has Ia
ken the stump with the resolution to
speak in every county in the State; and
every day, until the election in Novem-
ber next. The "disunion'' candidate is
Gen. Quitman, who though gallant
soldier, is by no means match for Gen.
Foote on the stump.
The N. o. Bee says:
"The excitement throughout the State
is represented as unparalleled. Father
is arrayed against son, and brother
against brother. The kindliest feelings
of domestic feelings have been embi,ter-
ed by the animosiiies and prejudices OF
faction, and the ties Of friendship and
affection succumb to the violence Of CIV
il strife. Ii such be the manifestations
at this comparatively early stage Of the
campaign, We cab scarcely say how far
they will proceed ere it closes"
