"The melancholy days are come,
The saddest Of the year."
WM. CULLEN BRYANT.
Autumn hath unfurled lis banner
Stained with carmine, green and gold;
Never did fary's sccpsre
Mines of beauty thus unfold.
With brilliant flush the evening
Doth incarnadinc the sky,
While the sun his rays are streaming
O'er yon clouds OF royal dye.
Ripping, nurmuring, goes the brooklet
On its mossy Pcbbly way,
Like wearied child it Eulters
Midst its dreamy, listless play.
How like life the changeful seasons
AS they in their orbits roll
Gildled with zone rs varied
AS the tropic to the pole.
Spring comes first in all its freshness,
Strewing every path with flowers;
Like the feeting cares Of childhood
Come anon its nlists aud showers.
Summer time like sturdy manhood
High in purpose, strong in hope,
Fants not tho with storms and tempcsts
lie must in his valor cope.
Autumn then with thought and feeling
Calmly reads the chequcred past;
Now it halls the glad revealing
OF the mcrcies DER US cast.
Mellow as old wine the hours,
Which are speeding on their way
Quivering in their Aeeting glory
Are they fading day by day.
Now the Winter is upon US,
Now the silvcr'd crown has come
And the good man meekly bending
HES him to his long sough; home.
Trosts have bl;ghtcl flower and lcaAet
Still the Spring once more will bloom:
Death hath claimed lis own-yet brightly
Beams Heaven hey ond the tomb.

THE CANVASS IN CHARLESTON-.COL.
CUNNINGHAM.


The canvass for Congressman in the Charleston
District has lst,erly undergone material change
As result of circumstances connected with the late
duel, the Hon. A. G.!!MAGRAru positively wilhholds
his name from the race; and the contest now lies
between Col. JOHN CUNNINGHAM, General JAMES
GADsDEN, and WM. PuRcHER MILES, Esqr All
these are gentlemen every way worthy the trust
sought to be conferred upon them. OF Col CUNNING
HAN, it is our privilege to speak with the confidence
of all old acquaintance and friend His independence,
his high ons his talents his readiness and his inlre-
pdity emneny qualify him for this post in the pend
ing critical juncture of affairs In no mans hands
would the homer of South Carolina be safer. In no
mans keeping would her interest. be more SECURE. In
no mans zeal would Southern rights find bolder ad.
vucacy. And in the present aspect of matters we do
not think our Charleston friends could elect more
faithful representative, or one who would reflect
higher honor on his State.

DEATH OF Mrs GENERAL GADsDEx-We
regret to learn through the Charleston Nsps Of
the 9TH inst, that on the previous evening the
wife of Gen. Gadsden, late Minister 10 Mexico,
died in the city of Charleston. The Neos, re-
ferring to Mrs. Gadsde says" Distinguished
for her many private virtues, unostentalious in
her charities, eminently Pious, bland in disposi-
ton, and affecliOnate in all her domestic rela-
tions, the deprivation has been severe blow to
him who has to bow to the fiat of fate, but
whose affection meets with the deep sorrow of
large circle of sympathising friends and the
sincere regrets Of the entire community"

NIcARAGuA.-ln private letter, received by
the last arrival from an intelligent friend of ours
in Grensda. we note the following passages:
"Most empha,icaly, General Walker should
be called the man Of silence. He sees every
thing, hears rythiug, reads everything, and,
if what everybody says Is TO be credited, knows
everything-but says nothing.
Everything is quiet here Since the cxecu-
tion.o Salazar, the temper OF Leon and else
where is somewhat lowered. 1t is the general
impression here, and think not without foun-
dsiion, that there will bono more fighting within
The State. New arrivals of troops iu sufficient
numbers from the United States will, | feel sure,
be The trump that wilt herald the invasion Of
Costa Rica and the the other States. The sea-
son IS getting qnite healthy.

"on the ground" near Mr. Blair's residence, and
compelled to return to Richmond Mr.. T. P.
Cheseman the second of Mr.. Prior, publishes
the correspondence with a card, showing that
Mr. Bolts postponed the time later than was
necessary, and that the place Of meeting was
known to many people not connected with the
affair, before it was made known TO himself. He
says: Being satisfied from these facts and
others any attempt 10 secure a hostile meeting
between Mr.. B. B. Bolts and Mr.. Pryor will be
thwartsd by persons not connected with the
matter, but friendly TO the Hon. J. NJ. Bolts, as
also satisfied from The physical condition Of Mr.,
B. B. Bots, as exhibited on the field, that Mr..
Pryor ought not TO shoot at him, can have moth
ing more 10 do with the matter, and, giving the
correspondence and these facts to the public,
close my connection with it." This is rather
ludcrous ending of the affair for the son of the
Virginian aboilionist.
