free fellow who gave his name as Bob
Trent, was yesterday arragned before the Mayor
upon the charge of casting stone at white
man named VIM. R. Grant, on Saturday last,
in the lower portion of the city. Grant stated
that he had reason to believe that the prisoner
aided another free fellow, who rejoices il the
title of VIM. Henry Ross, in robbing him on Sa
turday of his pocket book. So believing, he &C
cused the fellow of it, when he picked up
stone and struck him with it-threw it at
him, striking him somewhere about the breast.
The pocket book contained So or 81. according
to Mr.. Grants recollection. The Mayor, deem
ing the case one worthy of the fullest investisa-
ton, ordered the officers to commit the accused
to Jail until to day, mad in the meantime to use
every exertion to apprehend William Henry
Ross

FIRES About eleven o'clock Sunday night,
the carpenter shop of Mr.. VIM. McAlstel, stu
ated on Franklin between Pearl and Governor
streets, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm
was promptly given, and as promptly responded
to by the different fire companies. Through
the exertions of the fremen the flames were
confined to the shop in which they originated.
Mr.. McAister estimates his loss in timber tools,
&C., at $500, upon which there existed poll
cy of insurance in the office of the Virginia Fire
and Marine Company for $2O0-leaving his clear
loss $500. A small square brick building ad-
joining the carpenters shop. occupied by Mr.
Richardson as paint shop, was on FIRE several
times during the progresslof the fire, but it was
finally saved with slight damage. This fire like
the one at MIR, Demons foundry, which broke
out about O'Clock the same night. was unques-
tionably the work of an incendiary.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock. the rool
of dwelling house occupied by Rev. John KEEP
Ter, pastor of ST. Johns Church, situated on Oath
street between Broad and Marshall streets, was
discovered to be on fire. The fremen promptly
repaired to the scene, but discovered that their
services were not needed, tho inmates of the
house, aided by the neighbols, having extin-
guished the flames.

The Election in this Citv.

We invite attention to the call in another
column for Wing rally on Wednesday night.
We hope that our friends will assemble in full
strength on that occasion and prepare for vigo-
rous and united effort in behalf of their cause
and their candidates on the day following. The
Wings of Richmond can by proper exertions
give Mr.. Coleman thousand majority and ifthey
do this, we firmly believe that he will be cleo
ted The friends of Judge Caskie brag high we
know, but this is stale and threadbare device
that ought to deceive no intelligent voter. 1t is
resorted to, by our anniversaries palpably with the
fold object of discouraging the Wings and of
hiding their own alarm a nd trepidation We say
then to the Wings of Richmo nd, heed not the
idle boasts of your opponents but come up mans
fully to the discharge of your duty A single
vote may decide the election, and bitter, indeed,
will be the regrets of that Wing who having
stayed away from the polls shall discover too
late, that the day has been lost by this act Of
negligence.
The Enquirer of yesterday says that the tri-
umph of Messrs. Hill and Bayly, the Democratic
candidates for the House of Delegates '.is not
impossible" Wings of Richmond, we ask you to
note and ponder on this remark OF the Democratic
organ. Can you hesitRte for one moment as to
the propriety of ralying around the nominees
of your party when you hear your adversaries
indulging in such calculations these! Your
ticket is composed ofthe names of gentlemen in
every way worthy of your support. They were
| fairly nominated in general meeting of the
Wing party of Richmond as your standard bear-
ers 10 this contest, and you cannot now shrink from
tkeir support without jeopardising the success of
the Wing cause in this city The idea that the
| election of Democratic candidate in this Gibral-
ter of Wing principles sis not impossible ought
to be sufficient of itself to bring every Wing vo-
ter in Richmond to the polls on Thursday next.

LON z.
By MARY CLEMMER AMEs.

The light Of day hath faded from the skies,
The twilight shadows from the hills have flown;
In musing mood close my weary eyes
Night takes her throne, and still muse alone.
hear the clock noting the death Of time;
hear the death-watch tick its lonely call
The expiring embers sigh, and shadows climb,
And wave their banners on the sable wall
No loving eye meets mine, where'er turn
No cherished voice thrills me with feryent- tone;
This hour, spirits that love for loving spirits yearn
yearn in vain, sit and dream alone.
called myself alone. All this is vain;
Although no presence minglcs with my own,
Though with this loneliness cSne thoughtsof pain,
This fearful soul can never be alone.
Oh, dear as friends these old mystic tones,
Which bear me back to scenes of ancient time
Through fields of antique thought my spirit roams.
Revels in lore and mystery sublime.
Memory emerges from tho distant bowers
Which grace the waysidc of the lovely past;
Once moro a child, UNDECIDED wing the hours,
Which broughtmo joys that boomed but did not last
l count few friends upon life's toilsome waste
But some love have reached the other shore;
They love still; in hours like these they haste
Back 10 my side, and bless me as of yorc
Angels who nestle in the arms Of mir,
Oh, radiant wanderers from yon glorious heaven
To Joy you wake the throbbing pulse of care,
And to my thought lofier Eight is given.
Upward gaze to yon ethereal dome
Where burn the stars with strange and solemn light
CAN / myself alone while ] can roam
And read the mysteries of the wondrous night
Ye wake the rapture of delight, o stars
Ny soul looks up and with unweAried wing
Asoends the ramparts of the radiant night,
Where fiery worlds their flaming shadows fling.
Above all worlds, 10 heights unknown rise,
Where on the verge Of space bright angels wait
On, on we soar, 10 still rcmoter skies,
And droop our pinioEs at heavens crystal gate
see the city Of the living God
rest in peace by thy translucent streams;
My soul now conscious of ininitudc,
Thrills with the JOY once only felt in dreams
Earth dreams may fade for such born to die
The friends l cherish with such deep delight
May liz their unseen wings, and soar on high,
Leaving mo here to sorrows fearful night
Bat though bury every fond desire
Oh, never more with sad, despairng tone,
While CLOVIS my soul with this immortal fire.
