GBolte 4oftrp,
is 1T COME ?

The following is the poem that attracted
the attention of the Marquis of Lansdowne,
and induced him to make present of el00
to the authoress, Miss Frances Brown.
Is it come? they said on the banks of the Nile
Who look'd for the worlds long promised day,
And saw but the strife Of Egypt's toll
With the deserts sands and the granite grey.
From the pyramid, temple, and treasured dead
We vainly ask for her wisdom's plan:
They tell of the slave and tyrant's dread
Yet there was hope when that lay began.
The Chaldee came with his starry lore,
That built up Babylon's crown and creed;
And bricks were stamped on the Tigris's shore
With signs which our sages scarce can read.
From Minus Temple and Nmrods Tower
The rule of the old Easts empire spread
Unreasonng faith and unquestoned power
But still, Is it come? the Watcher said.
The light Of the Persian's worshipped fame
The ancient bondage its splendor threw;
And once on the West sunrise came,
When Greece to her freedoms trust was true.
With dreams to the utmost ages dear,
With human gods and with godlike men,
No marvel the far-off day seemed near,
To eyes that looked through her laurels then.
The Romans conquered and revelled, too,
Till honor and faith and power were gone,
And deeper old Europes darkness grew
As wave after wave the Goth came on.
The gown was learning the sword was law,
The people served in the oxen's stead,
But ever some gleam the Watcher saw,
And eyermore, Is it come they said.
Poet and Seer that question caught
Above the din of life's fears and frets;
It marched with letters-it toiled with thought
Through schools and creeds which the earth
forgets;
And statesmen trife, and priests deceive,
And traders barter our world away;
Yet hearts to that golden promise cleave,
And still, at times, 1sit come! they say.
The days Of the nation bear no trace
OF all the sunshine so far foretold
The cannon speaks in the teachers place
The age is weary with work and gold;
And higher hopes wither and memories wane-
On hearths and affairs the fires are dead;
But that brave faith hath not lived in vain;
And this is all that our Watcher said

SENATOR BUTLER.

The following graphic "pen and ink sketch" of our
Senator and his bearing in the Senate is going the
rounds It will be recognized faithful portrait:
"Conyersing with brother Senator near the
Speakers desk, there stood before US q remarkable
looking person. No physiognomist studying that
face could doubt the mental power pervading the
whole aspect of the man. 1t is an nelegant unclas
sic yisage, with mass of troubled, streaming me-
teoric looking slvery hair, that seems as if it had
been contendng with the blasts of winter yetthere
is such look of complete Indifference to his own
external appearance areliance the power of other
qualities to atone for the lack of mere personal at
traction that in looking at him, one shares the in
difference 1t is the face of one difficult to lead,
and impossible to drive-one who if pushed to the
wall will let himself be crushed to DEATH provided
no way Of escape can be found-but will never ca
pitulate. With abilities which give him towering
eminence among his brother Senators, his power, as
speaker stands confessed in the admiration Of both
houses His noble defence of the interests of the
South always reminds us Of the spirit in which
Schiller has conceived the character ofWilliam Tell,
breaking forth into fiery and indignant eloquence,
when the interests of his home are invaded. When
he speaks, there is vague something in his man
ner that makes us fear and shrink, as five had been
wandering among volcanic looking hills, and had
suddenly felt the ground quiver and seen it cape
--original-brliant-a -anmating any and every
one of these epitbets might be applied to his speech
es; it is like having flood Of mind poured out upon
you and that too, evidently from the strong neces
sity of setting lie current free, and not from any
design 10 slime or oYerpower."

THE INDIANS.

By our last accounts from Florida we learn that
''the Indians have commenced their indscriminate
slaughter of the whites by numbering two of the set
tiers, twelve miles from Fort Dallas Two men,
Peter Johnston and Edward Farrall, were killed by
them on the 7th. The United States troops were
sent pursuit of them but after securing the
try for several days they could not succeed in fall
ing in with them The settlers were in great trepda-
tion and were coming in, demanding the protection
of the troops" ~. ..-
d. We have, also, the following from the Oregon and
Washington Territories:-
The Indian war in Oregon and Washington Terri
tories goes on, but the winter suspends attacks
the part Of the whites. The Indians are daily get
ting more daring in committing their deeds of mur-
der. They are all we'll armed with guns, rifles and
revolvers, and in open day, when there is chance,
pick out their victims. They are said to number
FIVE thousand warriors. There had been nothing
further heard as regards an engagement with them
than what hos been previously received. Gen. Wool
has commissioned Capt. Newell to raise company
of rangers to act scouts which he is fast making
up. A company of United States dragons have
lately been added to the generals forces. They
came across from Missouri and got in by the way of
Umpqua. No tidings have been received from the
Walla country since Col. Kelly's letter to Adutant
Farrar of the 9th Of December. An express is hour
ly expected. There is much anxiety felt to know
the issue of the battle between the volunteers and
the Indians

showing that the friends of REFORM of the extension
of popular rights of popular education and of Civ
ing the election of Electors Of President and Vice
President to the people, will make rally in the

on the subject of popular rights and popular educa
tion He has advocated, with great zeal and ability
in the Senate and before the people, the right of
giving the election of Electors to the people.

THE FEMALE COLLEGE.

The second year of this Institution was brought to
close on Wednesday last; and, we learn from the
announcement in advertising columns, the e1er-
cises of the first term of the third year will be COM
menced on Monday next. As far as our own oppor-
tunies have enabled US to judge, every mark Of ef-
fcency and permanent success has attended the last
years exercises and we are pleased to learn that
the Board has already received assurances of still
more encouraging patronage for the coming session.
By the employment of several additional teachers
the Faculty is complete in every department; care
has been taken too, to provide every means requi-
site for the proper training of the pupils and with
out derogating from the claims of other schools, We
can assure the public that other is better pre-
pared to undertake and achieve the responsible and
delicate trusts committed to the female teacher.

PEACE PROSPECTS.

The steamer AraJia, with Liverpool dates to the
10th ult., arrived on Friday, bringing important
intelligence in reference to the result of the peace
negotiations. 1t was stated in the London Times
that Russia had unconditionaly accepted the propo
sails; but subsequent official dispatches very consid
erably modified the statement, making it to amount
only to acceptance of the points as basis of ne
gotatons. The truth is, the proposals in the shape
presented such that Russia cannot honoraby ac-
cept them rs q settlement of the dispute. The Gear
has shown his willingness, however, to treat for
peace, and this of itself is very important point
ganed-one which the Allies will not fail to improve
The prospects for peace are frightening. We take
the following paragraphs from the telegraphc des-
patches -
The announcement by the London Times that Rus
sia had Internationally accepted the Austrian pro-
posals, has caused great excitement, but govern
ment despatch next day stated that Russia only ac-
cepted the Austrian proposals as basis of negota
tions. Confidence is slightly relaxed, and the pub
lie is less sanguine. Many think that Russia mere
ly accepts these proposals to prolong negotiations
and to gain time. ..,.
Previous to the announcement of Russa's accept
Of the peace proposals, the Vienna papers rep
resented affairs in alarming condition. 1t was
stated that the Austrian Embassy had received ord
ers to quit st. Pctersburgl. The facts connected
with the proposals are that Esterhazy had handed
the note to Nesserode, saying that he was not au-
thorized to enter into discussion, but if the note
was not accepted Internationally before the l8th he
and the Austrian Embassy must leave st. Petersburg
To prevent this, Nesselrode communicated direct to
Prince Gortgchakoff at Vienna, who had talk with
Count Buol which produced memorandum expires.
sing the general inclination of Russia to negotiate
but proposing certain alterations. Count Buol re-
ceiyed the document, but as it did not contain an
unconditional acceptance, Austria could not reply
without concurrence with France and England
The ambassadors of these Powers accordingly sent
to London and Paris for Instructions and the reply
was received that the Western Powers had motive
to change their decision already carefully consider
ed and further that if Russia did not accept by the
18th, Count Esterhazy and the Austrian legation
would leave and Austria would Immediately seek to
obtain the assured cooperation of other powers.
The Russian Embassy had been ordered to leave
Vienna during the week and extreme apprehension
existed at Vienna but on the 10th the apprehensions
subsided by an announcement that Russia agrees to
negotiate on the terms proposed. From the Crimea
there is no important intelligence. The Presidents
message is generally regarded farorably in England
Even the attitude assumed with regard to Central A
merica is not objected to. Nobody seems to appre-
hend serious difficulty between the two countries
The reports Of the cotton markets, as affected by
this arrival, will be found in another column.

SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.

We published last week. and re-publlsh In this is
sue, the notice of Messrs. E. H. Bn1TToN & Co.,
Propretors of the Carolina Times, announcing the
purchase of the Southern Quarterly Review and the
arrangements in progress for the permanent estab-
lishment Of the work at Columbia.
1t gives US no small measure of qualification to ex-
tend this announcement, and We take the occason to
record in behalf of the enterprise our best words of
encouragement. For many years the Review was
rightly regarded with honest pride by every intel
gent citizen Of the State 1t was the receptacle of
great truths which made deeply impress upon the
popular mind, and gave to Southern sentiment no.
bier mould, higher tone and more enduring life.
In its pages We have the record of the workings of
the master minds Of that daya record replete with
brilliant thought and earnest searching investiga
tion, to which we may turn for vindicaton of the
great principles now at the helm of the nation. But
of late since those bright lights have gone out, the
pages of the Review have been insipid and dull and
its weak fortunes and feeble struggles for existence
painful to behold. Fluctuatng, appearing first here
and then there loaded down with mixture IF stu
pid theory and sicky sentimentalism, it had we'll
nigh lost its proud position in the public eseem and
been numbered with the things that are dead.
Under the ew,rtgfHc, ffresh energy will be i'm
parted to the work. and an ability brought to bear
upon the accomplishment of its purposes, sufficient
to regain for it abundant evidences of public conf
dence. The Propretors are known to be enterpris-
ing, energetic and thorough-going men-industrious
and constant workers, who have the means and are
willing to employ them for the success of their
dertaking. In commerdation of tho ability of the
editor, DR.. THoRNwELL, and his peculiar fitness for
the task, we need say nothing His great erudtion,
varied talents, mature, well-traned judgment, and,
above all, the high conservative tone which marks
his character and his works, are known and acknowl
edged; and we cannot refrain from congratulatng
the public, as we'll as the Propretors, upon such o
valuable accession to the all-mportant work reserv
ed for the Review.
We beg to refer the reader to the announcement
TO be found in another column, and at the same time
to add our own solicitations in behalf of the Review
If the work is to be sustained at ALL and surely eve-
ry consideration, both public and private, urges it
upon US, let US extend our patronage promptly and
heartily. We are authorized to act as agents, and
shall take pleasure in forwarding subscriptions.

THE AUTHORIZES OF "I'LL CONE AGAIN" :,
We've heard, dear X. that tuneful voice
Which always bids our hearts rejoice;
And much we thank yon for that strain
Which sweetly breathes "I'll come again"
Come on, most welcome guest, come on
Come-as to night, the golden dawn;
o come as Spring comes-bright and gny,
To shine bleak winters storms away!
Yes, come rs musics heavenly tone -
Comes Ger the soul that's sad and lone;
come, fair songstress come away
Nor grieve us more with long delay.
Wait not for vernal birds and flowers!
We need you most in these drear hours,
While dark snow-clouds are lowering low
And chilling winds around us blow
While on our roofs and meath our feet,
Is spread one vast thick icy sheet
Come no,s with that loye-radiant face,
And gild the gloom that shades the place,
Then joy in every heart would reign
To know thaty had "eome again"
