SONG OF THE EXILE.

BY CAD CoLwIN.
Far from my native mountains,
sadly roam, sadly roam,
'Mid'briglt flowers, and glad fountains, /;
sigh for home, sigh for home;
The sunny sky above ne
Doth never cheer doth never cheer
pine for those who love me,
The true and dear, the true and dear.
The gay, glad scenes Of childhood
Inspire my dreams, inspire my dreams;
seek the dim, oil wildwood,
And sparkling streams, and sparkling streams.
list the joyous laughter
Ofmerry band, Of merry band =
They see no dark hereafter,
In that dear land, in that dear land
brother comes 10 meet me,
Happy the while, happy the while;
A sister fair to greet me
With joyous smile, with joyous smile.
feel the fond caresses
Of fmolher mild, Of mother mild;
Again my father bcsscs,
Ills crrng child, his crring child.
Would that my heart might meet yc,
Sweet scenes Of yore, sweet scenes Of yore!
But in joy may greet ye,
All! ncvcrmore, ah! ncvermorc.
The fate of waysdc rover,
Is mine to be, is mine to be,
And soon LIES journey over,
shall be free, slrall be free.

WHY THE RESTRICTION

TIE Carolinian has come out quite handsomely IN
favor of having the Slate represented in the Cincinnati
Convention. This is we'll. But why that restriction
as to the nominee Of the Convention! Why Will no
one else do hut President PIERCE! Why would not
HUNTER, of Virginia, or our own BUTLER suffice
Why would not any good and true exponent of The
very sam. principles entertained by present Chsf
Magistrate suffice! II it shall happen that The
nomination fall PIERCE, 1t will be glorious thing
But should fall any other man of equal soundne'
could re say nay with any proprety or consisency!
Let US pause before adopting this onean idea. he'
member there other statesmen as good as PIERcE
and as SAFE and as true. 1t would be hazardous to
assert the contrary. If The Carolinan had said that
our delegates ought to 60 instructed to vote for no man
who did not stand constitutional grounds Identical
with those which guide the present administration we
should for one have accorded our most hearty con-
sent. This would be placing ourselves exactly along
side of Georgia, Florida and Alabama, which ls pre-
cisey the position in line our present duty calls upon
MS to take 1t is only thus that our delegation can be
efficient for any good. We 60 TO unite with our friends
in making the best selection possible in most lmpor'
tant matter That aelcction by the express announce
men, of those friends is 10 be made in srctest con-
formlty Win plinCiP'es ueaf W uo u" i'' 'o' W
more can we ask, If we fix upon PIERCE irrvoca-
bly,, where ia the of going to Cincna.t at all
Would not our sister States of the South regard our
conduct in the light of mockery! Would it not in
deed be species of manworship that might we'll pro-
woke their contempt! We are sure our respected
co,emporary will agree with us, that any such pre-
decision on our part would place our delegation in
most uwkard position regards their Southern asso'
ciates "Principles not men" is the motto under
which we are bound TO go into the Convention. Clear
". our State would and should first vote for PIERCE
in preference TO almost any other man. But it he be
pronounced unavailable, and other man just as
true (perhaps Souherner) be regarded by the Con-
vention more secure Of election would the Carottnson
have us withhold our sanction from the nomination

Doubleday, an English writer, sThe American
Republic is close copy of the British Govern
ment as it existed under Edward III, and was
conducted by hm-a President only being sub
s:ituted for King and a Senate for the House
Of Peers. The results Of both have been nearly
similar: diffused wenlth--a quiet and happy
population-equality of rights and laws-a"d
the peaceful enjoyment of property by all ranks"

DEATH OF PROF. ROBERT HENRY, L. L. D.
Our community is called upon to mourn the
death Of this distinguished and estimable citi-
zen, which occurred yesterday, at 2 p. m. On
Monday, he was seized with congesivc chill,
the recurrence of which occasioncd the sad and
unexpected event.
The loss Of DR.. Henry is one of no ordinary
man-to his afflicted lamy $ and to The South
Carolina College, it is indeed rreparable. His
learning, piety, worth, and the ability and fideli-
ty with which he discharged his duties as man,
a Christian, and Professor in our State insti-
tuition, are too wei known to require more
extended notice in this place. They will no
doubt he presented to the public by other bands.

"The principal facts in this case arc generally
known; though it may be well to menllon' for
the benefit of those who may not have seen the
evidence which we published at the time " hen
the case WAS first examined, that the vessel, in
tic latter part of July last was bound on voyage
from New York 10 China; that when out some
seventeen days. the captain was found dead in
his berth. Upon his head were wounds which
seemed to have been inflicted by IN axe or Il
hatche,; his throat was cut. and there were two
stabs as though made by knife in the breast
The berth in which he was found lying, at about
seven o'clock in the morning, was saturated with
blood the partition was also spattered a
halchet was found, with cots upon it, upon both
the hammer and the blade, and there was every
where the indication of a most brutal and re.
morseless murder The body was placed in Il
barrel Of brine, and the vessel in command of
the irsl mate, one of the parties now charged,
was brought into the port of Charleston, where,
an examination being had, the first mate, Nicho-
las Wheaton Lakeman, and two boys, George
Anderson and Henry Giraud, were put in Jail to
answer for the crime Against Giraud, however,
no indictment has been found by the Grand Jury,
