OSier WiIlOW-EmplOyme for all.

The wealth of the country will never be realized
Until its capabilities shall have been fully tested
| A lew objects Of prominent importance, for long
time, often serve 10 satisfy and give employment
TO the capital and the labor of country, while
many others Of not less importance or availability
remain untrled, or are turned over to others. The
manufacture and trade in baskets is, n the aggre

numbers OF females and others, not we'll fitted for
the hard out door lahors of the farm. 1t is wise
and humane policy which contrives and suggests
the means of a comfortable employment from
which such portions Of the population may derive
a support. We think the cultivation OF The Willow
might be made the means of accomplishing, TO
some extent, the desirpbIe object, il not a larger.
We saw The Osier Willow growing in great per.

The Daricn Expedition.

The great Expedition which was sent out ia
survey the lsthmus OF Daren, for the purpose Of
constructing ship canal, has turned out to be a
disastrous failure, far the possibility Of exc
cutting such work is concerned. Surveying par
ties we're sent out by the American, French and
British governments, all working in unison, but
moving on different lines. Lieut.. Strain, of the
American party, who al one time vas supposed to
be lost, has turned up alive as many OF those who
knew him well predicted but alas, many of his
brave companions will return to their native land no
more. |. is SAID that Lieut. Strain went out with
Co'. Blacks map that had been submitted to the
Navy Department, and proceeded with that map,
as guide, to the interior. There he found that
the map, like many other maps of Railroads and
Canals was a typographical delusion.
Where river was laid dowD on the man he
found mountain, and instead OF plains he discov
cred Sierras.
And thus, this splendid scheme, about which
three great nations INDUCED such hopes Tor uni.
ting the Atlantic and Pacific by short cut is DASH
ed at once TO pieces. Nothing now remains for
US, then, to shorten the distance rciaIly-
to our Pacific possessions but railroad, and the
sooner one is constructed, so much the better for
bur country.

War and Cotton.

| 1t seems now 10 be unequivocaIly unde rstood
| that war is declared between the Western Powers
and Russia, and that hard blows must soon be
interchanged. All the horrors OF the past are 10
be increased by all The numerous appliances 10
war OF modern science and invention. Where the
end will be, or rhat it will be, mono predict.
How the interests Of this country TO be affected
| remains also TO be developed. Prudence on the
part OF our Government may keep US from being
embroed, yet so extensive and complicated are
our commercial interests, that with due regard
to the proper and parental protection Of the rights
and privileges of citizens, il will be difficult TO
keep aloof from the general melee. We need now
at the head OF national affairs something more than
mere trading politicians, mere parzans who
inadequate to maintain the ascendancy Of their
own principles, much less to conduct in a stntes-
man!Ike manner any complicated question with
foreign nations. We shall soon feel the want of
those far.seeing, wide-reaching intellects which
have heretofore carried US safely and honorably
through every difficulty. 'F
To come home 10 the interests Of the people of
our own State, it seems 20 us that Cotton must be
still further depressed by general war in Europe.
1t already has received serious blow, and must
suffer still more. England and France have had
an extensive trade with Russia and Turkey. The
diversion o! large am"nnts o! currency from The
arts Of peace 10 those OF war; will affect The homo
trade of the first named countries. Altogether,
the consumption OF Cotton must be seriously re-
duced, and our people should be preparing for il.
Corn and other provisions may be wanted to sup
ply the belligerents; while Hemp, OF all things
else, will find ready market at home end abroad.
This is the great staple Of Russia, npon which the
shipping OF this country and England have been
so mainly dependant II not too late in the season,
our farmers Of the interior cannot do better than
commence the cultivation OF this article. The
stimulus that will be given TO our carrying trade,
the demand for ships for foreign and domestic use.
will give demand for all that can be raised Tor the
purposes of rigging them. The timber trade too,
VIII De active, as Northern, and now foreign ships
cannot we'll be built without Southern pine plank
The Baltic Sea will be bockaded closely, and
neither hemp nor timber will find its way out from
there so long as war exists. Thus something still
remains encouraging for Southern products, though
Cotton may be depressed. Our rice. timber, naval
stores and hemp, il We will raise it, will find a
ready marAet,, even il Cotton becomes dull. .l

Mother, thou art gore where angels dwell,
Thy home is far above;
Thou hast left thy children dear alone,
To join the God of love.
Mother, thou art gone to Sisters dear,
Them thou loved so true,
They welcomed thee to their blessed abode,
With Joy sincere and new.
Mother, thou Gwel'st in a better cline,
Thy spirit longed to go,
To leave these scenes of SORROW and grief
This land OF sin and wo.
Mother thy sweet not long ago
Fell gently On ears,
Not long since thou maI'st our hearts rejoice,
Now we weep bitter tears.
Mother, thy words OF counsel and love
Nomore shall cheer our path,
No more thou'lt give thy lessons of truth,
Round the DEAR social hearth.
Mother, thou taught our young wayward feet,
In wisdom ways to run,
Thou hast talked to us of God and Heaven,
OF Christ his holy Son.
Mother, thou vert ever kind and true,
Thou strov'st our souls to save,
It's hard to part with thee we loved,
And give thee to the grave.
Mother, we b.ess thy words of truth,
Thy gentle deeds of love;
Long may they shine memory's page,
And point TO thee above.
Mother, thou'st entwined thyseIfa around
Our young and loving hearts,
With bright, beauteous, golden chain,
Not even death part.
Mother, we'd not call thee back to earth;
To live alone, will be our lot,
Thou lowest US now, with an angels love;
No, we not forgot.
Mother, our heavenly father kind,
Doth order all things well,
Yes, he knoweth what is best for US,
Better than we can tell.
Mother, We'll make his blessed will our own,
Wen praise the God of love,
And strive with whole souls to meet,
In thy bright home above. SHR
