in favor Of the allies, the principal questions
now in dispute. We may take this as
some indication OF wha, is 10 be the plan OF
the campaign.
The Morning Chronicle Of l7lh, in its
leading article, thus sums up the position
Of affairs al the last advces
"According to the latest accounts from
the seat OF war, The left wing Of the Turk

way of Nicopoli and Sistows, on Rustcbuk;
and from that point, road leading by Ras-
grad to the headqua r,ers q, SchumIa would
afford the means of effectng junction with
Omar Pssha, unless i, should have been
previously occupied by the enemy. /, is
scarcely probable, however, tina. Prince
Gortchak of-who has now taken the CON-
mand, in consequence OF q severe wound
received by Prince Pashkiewitch, which
has necessita,ed his removal to Jassay--
would venture to detach any large portion
of his force SO far from the neighborhood
of Sllis!ria for, if the army which covers
The seige were seriously weakened, the o.
.oman commander would have an opporlu-
nifty OF. relieving the fortress by attacking
the invaders with the main body Of his
troops. As it appears that the project of

the defence may be continued until con-
siderable allied force shall be ready 10 CO.

army. The combined fleets at Baltschik
will be in position 10 give effectual aid to
any operation which may be undertaken !;
and there will probably be little difficulty
in supplying temporary garrison of ma
rines for Vsrna, should It be thought desir-
able Ia move all the available Ottoman for
ces into the interior.
ut is confidently stated .ha, large rein
forcements are a,ill crossing the Pruh to
strengthen the invading army in Moldavia !;
it must not be supposed that the fresh
troops which may enter the province form
an addition to the reported force of the en-
envy, as the reserves on The Bessarsbian side
of the frontier have always been included
in the estimates which have been published.
The movement. Of troops to the ives, is prin-
cipally importan. as indicating the determi
nation OF the Russian Government TO remain
in the principalilies. |. is indeed highly
probable that, in answer 10 the recent sum-
mons from Vienna, vague promises will be
held GU, Of future compliance with the de-
mands Of the neutral powers; bu. Austria
will no longer be satisfied with empty insin-
cere phrases. 1t will not be supposed tina,
the Gar is terrifying Jassay for the benefit
Of lis righ.ful Government, or that he is

the preliminary measure to a general retreat.

DEATH OF Thomas RlrcHlE.-The
venerable Thomas Richie expired at 12 o.
clock on Monday, q, Washington city, at
the age Of near four score years. lie was
we believe, the oldest editor in the United
States, and continued to possess all the vi
gor Of youthful thought and dic,ion to the
last efforts of his pen. His death will be
heard with regret every where-for he was
universally esteemed as an honest and up
right man. The Washington Star, in an
nouncing his death, says:
"Up TO within few days past, he had
been able TO read, almost with his former
well-known intense avid,y for books and
newspapers, and to write much, as we'll as
10 converse with the few friends whom his
physician has permitted to have access to
him. His arrangements for The sad coming
event have been made for some time, during
which period he had look ed forward TO The
going out of bis taper Of life, with the perfect
camness, resignation, and Christian hope,
which should rightfully mark the ext. of .
man so pure and upright as Thomas Richie
whose mind and heart, as all who knew
him intimately will testify, were from the
beginning to the end of his long career as
public man, incapable of entertaining a
sinister thought or sentiment.

our compatriots, Morgan threatened to
carry them to Jamaica and sell them for
life as slaves. If the poor unfortunates
dared to raise their hands in supplications
f r mercy from the conqueror, the tyrant
would answer he did not come to listen to
prayers or distribute favors, but he came
to make money. Morgan left Chagres
shortly after for Jamaica, that island being
all English colony. I his notorious robber,
terrible pirate and incendiary, Charles
II rewarded by making nobleman of

miralty inJamaica.
The 9th of January is for Panama,
what the End of May is to Madrid--a day
of mourning. The commemoration of the
trnsactions of this fearful day should not
be omitted, because l84 years have gone
by. On that day unheard of sutferings,
privations, scenes of horror, death and
destruction, fell upon our primogenitors
with fatal force. At two leagues distance
from this city still remain the ruins of that
lamentable scene, caused by the worst of
all i, vasions, fillibustering! Will the
march of improvement extend her hand,
and cause "Old Panama" to rise from her
prOstration some future period?

Capture of panama by the Buccaneers.

From the Panama Star we take the
following translation Of an article which
appeared in Ell Panamed1o.
One hundred and eighty fourth cnnirer-
sary Of the capture of Panama by the tlll-
busters.
To put an end to the war of fillibusters
against Christians nations, treaty was
celebrated in 1910 between England and
Spain, which is known in diplomatic
annals by the name of the Treaty of Ame-
rica."
The 6llibusters, notwithstanding, were
not intimidated by the union of these
nations against them, but continued their
piratical plans in the presence of their
souadrons, with daring and bravery
worthy of better cause.
They resolved to form grand expedi-
ton under the command of their able and
experienced captain. Ia Welchman) Henry
Morgan, which promised them an I'M
mense booty. A feet of thirty-seven vessels
with over two thousand landsmen. was orga-
nized at Cape Tiburon, and lots were cast
which places should be invaded whether
CarthageDa, Vera Cruz, or Panama. The
latter waschosen, being the richest; and the
avarice,o the hllibusters was highly excited
when they learned the result of the choice
of the latter place.
The feet left on the 7th of December
1910, for the Island of st. Catherine
thence to Chagres. The Castle of Sar
Lorenzo was bombarded and taken after
desperate struggle, in which the invaders
lost 100 killed and 20 wounded The
fortress was well garrisoned and defende,
at the time, and being taken without cap
itulation, proves the daring and hraver.
of the invaders. Of the 3l4 men in tn
fortress, who defended the place at the ex

RAILROADS IN VIRGINIA.-It appears
by statement in the Alexandria Gazette,
that there are now l04l miles of railroad
in Virginia built and travelled. The
length of these railroads when complete
will be 1549 miles. Several other rail-
roads are in progress, but none are noted
in this statement that are not in use. The
grading on the Roanoke Valley Railroad,
which is to run from Ridgoway, on the

that the entire road will be finished and

Do they Miss me at Home ?

Do they miss me at home Do they miss me !!
'TwOuld be an assurance most dear,
To know at this moment some loved one
Was saying, II wish he was here;;"
To feel that the group at the tireside
Were thinking of he as | roam,
O. yes 'twOuld be JOY beyond measure,
To know that they missed nie at home.
When twilight approaches, the season
That ever was sacred to song,
Does some one repeat my name over,
And sigh that | tarry so long?
And is there chord in the music
That's missed when my voice is away?
And chord in the heart, that maketh
Regret at my wearisome stay?
Do they place me chair at the table,
When evenings home pleasures are nigh,
When lamps are lit up in the parlor,
And stars In the calm azure sky?
And when the "GoOd nights" are repeated
And each lays himself down to sleep,
Do they think of the absent, aud wait me
A whispered ''Good night Ger the deep?
Do they miss me at home-do they miss me
AT morning, at noon OF at night,
And fingers one gloomy shade round them
That only my presence can light?
Are joys less invitingly welcome,
And pleasures less hale than before,
Because one is missed from the circle
Because am with them no more?

Predictions for the Year 1854.

This year will be famous for a thousand
wonderful things. From January to Be
cember the days will consist Of twenty-four
hours each, and there will be such a number
ofeclipses that many wise people will be in
the dark. There will be fogs in Maine,
fires at Constantinople, and lack of brains
in many fools head
South America, this year, will not ex-
tend beyond Cape Horn; and the North
Pole will be exactly in ninety degrees of
latitude Those who lose money will
look sad, and those who are in want of
cash when they borrow, will want it more
when they come to pay.
Locomotives and auctioneers' tongues
will run fast. People will talk about the
end Of the world, but it is ten to one that
the solar system will not run against the
dog star between now and next December.
Sea-serpents, this year, viii be hard to
catch, and none but a conjuror will be able
to get quart into a pint pot. Those have
wooden legs will suffer little when they
freeze their toes. Wigs are expected to
be fashionable among the bald, but blind
folks will have some difficulty in SEEING
Divers steamboats, will blow up this year.
Quadrupeds will GO upon four legs, pret-
ty generally; and cows horns will be crook
ed. The fate Of lottery tickets will be
dubious; but whoever is President, water
will run down hill and ducks will waddle
as heretofore. The world, this year,
will turn upside down. but not in conse-
quence Of the Governors Inauguration.
The crops Of hay will depend upon the
weather, but whether it rains or not, there
will be plenty of sand at Cape Cod
Whoever sells his house to buy moonshine
will hardly get his moneys worth
Whoever runs to catch the rainbow, will
get out of breath for his pains? for all
that, eastern ladies may be had for buying.
But, most of all, there will prevail this
year horrible epidemic. worse than the
cholera, small pox, or plague, for which
there will be no cure. The Italians call it
POGO dinero; the Germans hien geld; the
French taute d'argent; in this country;
it goes under various appellations, but it
is most commonly known by the name ol
emptg pockets.-N. o. True Delta.

The following, which we find in the
California Courier, is complete burlesque
on the grandiloquent style in which every
unimportant movement is announced in
the California papers.
"MoRE CoMBISATIoNs.-It is under
stood that several responsible peanut
merchants have entered into combina-
ton to monopolize the trade in peanuts,
Henceforth the price Of that commodity
will be fixed at regular standard. The
recent attempts made to control the pea
nut market has evidently had the effect TO
bring on this taus,'

Do THEY MISS Me AT HOME ?-Six simple
words, in themselves, but so admirably
blended that when we hear them pro-
nounced or see them in print a thrill of
hope, fear, doubt, anxiety, courses through
our entire system, and we are unconsciously
transported over land and sea in mo-
ment, to where the objects of our afec-
tion and the subjects of the inquiry are
1t is question asked daily by half the
population of California, and is scarcely
concluded ere moisture fills the eye and
we can almost feel the presence Of angels
whispering in our ear-''yes, yes, they do
miss thee at home" These lines, so
touchingly simple and beautiful in concep-
tion have been going the rounds of news
papers sometime, and though many may
have read them, still we thiuk few will be
glad Of the opportunity to read them again.
