NOT SATISFIED.

As was to have been expected,
the agitationists of the North are dis
satisfied with the peaceful state of
things in Kansas. They had too
much capital invested in the business,
aud it was paying them too great an
interest, not to complain of its being
wound up. Fremont stock declined
at every step towards the suppression
| of civil war in Kansas, and when
peace was declared it fell.to less than
fifty cents on the dollar. Seeing
this, they would be glad were the
strife renewed, notwithstanding they
were short time since Cry ing so LUST
lily for peace peace!' Their appe-
tite is not yet appeased, and they
would be glad if the people in KaE-
sas should renew the pastime Of cut
ting each others thrOats and re-cem-
mence the strife so recently stayed
A Northern paper is quoted in the
st. Louis News as calling the quiet
existing in the Territory, ''the peace
and quiet of desolation,' and we a.
gree with the comment Of the News,
that nothing would please the fierce
spirit of the utterer of such words
better than to know that a lively bus
inessin human hatchery, robbery, IA
pine, theft and arson was going on in
Kansas. Peaceful pursuit Of busi-
ness, the quiet prosecution of agricul-
tural labor, the hum of saw-mills, the
rustling of gathered harvest, the echo
Of the stroke Of the axe and the leis-
urely lowing Of unmolested focks
these have no charms for the drea.
ry soul of fanaticism, longing for
feast on the tales of human woe

From the Family Nia'tor.
We Parted, Lady.

We parted, Lady--not forever
AS lovers, parted we; -\
The feelings of that moment never
From memory's hallowed shrine shall fe.
Thy hands warm clasp told loves emotion,
/ knew that earth had none mere fair,
As in thine eyes, with wild deyotion,
l gazed, and felt my soul was there.
We parted, Lady. there was sadness
Within those deep, dark eyes of thine,
That ne'er before with aught but gladness,
Yet less of love, had gazed on mine;
Then did'st thou know how adored thee, :
Although my lips had failed to tell;
My very soul was barred before thee,
I only sighed my sad farewell.
We parted but Pill not forget thee,
I'm still thine own whene'er we meet;
Could woes enough in life beset me,
To make this heart less truly beat
No loves first dream can never perish,
With all its vows of constancy
Each look and word, and sigh Pll cherish,
While aught remains of memory.

INCONSISTENCY.

The men who assembled at Balti,
more on the 18th ult., as old-line
wings, pretended to be the friends OF
the old whig party, and favorable to a
reorganization of that party. But
what did they do? They nominated
for the Presidency, man who made
"a public boast that he was not the
nominee of the whig party, but of
"oaother" party, for the Presidency.
And they nominated for Vice Presi-
dent, A. j. Donelson, man who has
opposed the whig party while it lived,
with-as much bitterness and constancy
as any man in this country-a man
who, when the party died, covered its
grave with the foulest exhaEtions of
partisan feeling a man who said OF
Millard Fillmore, the nominee of the
whig party in 1S4S for the Vice Pres
idency, that he was "biHer pill to
the South" Such are the men the
bogus Wing Convention have just en-
dorsed at Baltimore. This act de-
as clearly as anything
could, that the Convention at Balti-
more was bogus concern, got up by
the know-nothings fora particular OBJ
i ct. Had that Convention nomina-
ted gentlemen of the old whig party,
who had not connected themselves
with the know-nothing party, they
would have manifested some consist
ency, and old-line wings might have
been furnished with an excuse to leave
the association of democrats. But
they did no such thing. The whole
thing was a miserable farce.

Defeated but not Conquered.

The Democrats of Maine are very
far from being disbeartened at their
recent defeat. The Belfaa. Journal
holds the following manly aud patri.
otto language:
"After the battle Of Thermopyla
10 which the three hundred Sparians
under Leonidas perished, it Seemed
that the last. hope of ancient Helas
was gone. Yet the. disaster was re-
trieved and Greece saved at Salamis,
and above all the bones of those who
fell ut the fatal pass where the Ash
attic met the Greek, was raised a
monument with the inscription: we
lie here in obedience to our country
Let the national men of the nation
place the same inscription over the
defeated friends of nationality in
Maine; give US what credit they may
for the fight we made against Sec
tionalism, deception, fraud, and
money, and be sure that Salamis
shall follow Thermopylae.''

THE COTTON CROP.

The cotton crop has doubtless suf
lered considerable from the appearance
Of the worm in many sections, and
also from the frost. The yield is
snow estimated at 100000 bales.
The Savannah Georgian, of last
Wednesday, has the following: "We
have now received accounts from
nearly every section Of the cotton
growing region, relative to the extra-
ordinary change of temperature that
took place "Wednesday and Thurs
day of week before last. The frost
seems to have been general through
out all that portion of the south lying
north of the latitude of Savannah,
Ga, ,thoug b upon careful examination
OF the accounts, We see nothing to
justify the conclusion that any seri-
GUS effect has been produced by it
upon the cotton crop. The occurrence
of such spell, however, so early in
the season, may very properly give
rise to the apprehension that a killing
frost will be seen at a much earlier day
than usual, and as the consequence,
that the cotton crop will be cut short to
a considerable extent. How far these
fears may be realized, remains to be !
seen, and the month to come will be !
looked forward to by planters and
the entire commercial world with no
small degree of interest. The ac-
counts Of frost in Tennessee, Miss
issippi and Alabama, telegraphed from
New Orleans, and published in our
issue, we have no doubt
are exaggerated. From no quarter
Of, the cotton-growing region can we
learn that any serious damage has
been done even to the tenderest yeg-
citation.

Autumn Payments.

"The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year,"
When notes are due, and lengthy bills
Come in from far and near;
When, "here's small account of yours,
Is whispered in your ear,
And, won't you please to settle now,"
Is all the talk you hear.
You scarce can take mornings walk,
Without ere long you're met
BY Mr. Snooks. who wants to know
If you can't settle" yet;
And at the hour of ""dusky eve,"
When you. do homeward HE,
Upon the parlor table, 10!
A pile of bills do lie.
Ye chaps. whose salary amounts
To ten times ten year,
Who sport your patent leather boots
With such "foreign air'-
Who wear your thirteen dollar tights"
And golden-bu -buttoned vest,
l Iwonder not when Autumn comes
Ye seek in vain for rest.
Ye girls with empty bonnets stuck
Upon your empty heads,
With high-priced silks and satin things,
With hoops, and flowers, and beads
I wonder what papa" will say,
When Mr.. Spriggins calls
With just that "little bill" of his.
For bonnets. hoops. and shawls.
And now, my stylish little chap,
And fashionable maid,
I'll tell you what you'd better do
When those long bills are paid
Just spend as many dollars then
Upon your added brain,
As you have spent for costly clothes,
And see how much you'll gain.
