o, Let us be Happy.
BY ELIZA COOK.

 o, let us be happy when friends gather round us However the world may have shadowed our lot; When the rose braided links of Affection have
 bound us, Let the cold chains of earth be despised and
 forgot. ss And say not that Friendship is only ideal, That Truth and Devotion are blessings un-
 known, For he who believes every heart is unreal Has something unsound at the core of his o. let us be happy when moments of pleasure Have brought to our presence the dearest and
 best, For the pulse always beats to most heavenly
 measure
 When Love and Goodwill sweep the strings
 of the breast. o, let us be happy, when moments of meeting Bring these to our sice who. illumine our
 eyes; And though folly, perchance, shake bell at
 the greeting,
 He is dullsst of fools who forever is wise. Let the laughter of Joy echo over cur bosoms As the hum of the bee OCT midsummer flow-
 CTS. For the honey of happiness comes from Loves
 blossoms,
 And is found in the hive of these exquisite
 hours. Then let us be happy when moments of pleasure Have brough. to our presence the dearest and
 best, ...... For the pulse always beats to most heavenly
 measure When Love and Goodwill sweep the strings
 of the breast.

IN = p. Joursos.--In one Of the lists OF
passengers in the Arctic occurs the name q
az n .Iohnson.. and the dismal apprehen
sion is beginning 10 approach terslble con-
viction that this is DIR. CARTERP. JOHNSON,
! vounr and popular physician Of our city,
and Demonstrators Of Anatomy in the Medi-
cal College. Letters had been received by
his friends here, stating that he would leave
Liverpool on the Goth, the day of the
Arctic's sailing, so as to be in Richmond
in time for the opening Of the College.
We fear that he is the 1T. b. johnson" OF
the list, but, even if that be so, there is still
possibility that he is on some of the boats
which left the vessel, and have not yet been
heard from DR. johnson is brother of Geo.
Nicholson johnson, Esq, of this city, and
son of the late eminent Chapman johnson.
We know of no man in the medical probes
sion of Virginia who. by fine talents, exten
sive requirements, generous amnition ano
an unfiagging devotion to his noble caiiing'
babe fair to rise to a more exalted position
than Carter P. johnson. Most earnestly do
we hope that the fears of the community IN
regard to his fate may prove unfounded.
wThe New York papers speak with de-
served eensure of running the Arctic at the
rate of thirteen miles an hour in a fog so
dense that those at one end of the boat could
not see the other. 1t has been common
practice to run at this speed off the foggy
coast of Newfoundland.
1t is said also that the Arctic was not con-
Her bows were crushed through like paper,
by the smaller vessel, while herself, wonder
full to say. escaped.
But collisions at sea are the most difficult
of all accidents to avoid. Steamers, howev-
or, ought TO moderate their speed in fog and
extreme darkness.
The New York Herald says that ''after the
collision, in nine cases out of ten, sail pass
ed forward over the bows, and mattresses
forced into the leak, would have enabled her
to sail the short distance offorty miles which
separated her from Cape Race. The leak
could not be stopped: she did not sail one
mile before the end came.'
1t was in mid day, it was in sea calm as
mirror and unruffled by breeze, that this
dire catastrophe occurred. The hand of des-
tiny!
The NORFOLK CoNvENTIoN.-We would
say to the Norfolk Herald that we have no
recollection of penning the statement that
the Norfolk Convention was to be held on
the Goth of November. If such notice ap.
peared in this paper, the error is unaccounta-
bic to US, for we were well aware that the
9Th of November is the day for the meeting
of the Norfolk Convention, and the Herald
does US no more than justice in supposing that
we are incapable of Intentionally committing
the error referred to.

The FEMALE JARs.-The case of Miss
Sarah Reddipg, against Miss Mary Sullivan, on
charge of beating, biting and burning her. was
again brought up. Complainant who is a short
smart looking young woman, said she had summon.
ed several witnesses, but all of them had not ap-
peared. Mrs. Walsh and Mrs. Murray, two of th em,
were sworn. Mrs. Walsh never knew anything
but what was decent and proper in Sarah Redding
but knew nothing of the collision between her and
Mrs. Sullivan.
Mrs Murray knew nothing about the affair. She
sat quietly in her room-a she saw was Sarah
Redding trying to break open her sisters door with
a rock 1.-THE acting Mayor remarked "why your
own witness is against you, to which Miss R. re-
piled, " che is my enemy"] Mrs Murray went on
to say that during the whole of her time in the
neighborhood, sho had lived in fear and trembling
of Sarah Readings gallants who had threatened
to put her Mrs M in the canal.
Miss X. boldly maintained her ground-she could
get the truth out of her witnesses yet-sh would
have them here and make them tell what thew
knowed. An Irishman In a stage whisper" web
bring the rest of them Tha'll tell the truth-they
won't damn their souls for any one"l
Sarah Redding being unable to make out a case,
except against herself the acting Mayor dismissed
the whole affair.
The ladies however, seeming indsposed to al.
low their difficulties to be monopolised entirely by
their sex, Bridget Redding applied for warrant
against John McGraff, Denis Starr, and Ca
sey, galants of her sister, upon the charge OF break
ing open her house. ETC., and it was awarded. So
we shall have another scene in these pleasant con
troversies from the south side of the Basin.
