- Are not these lines exquisite:
1t was calm, still, dreamy night,
The moon n sivery halo bent
To shroud little baby out,
Ger which weeping mother bent:
Her ear pressed close to catch u sound
OF hrcatl;uy-ah how calm-how low
Fnst flowed her tears--hcr heart was sad
She knew, indeed, her boy must go.
She held his tiny hand in hers,
And softly kissing his fair check,
Commended him to heavenly love-
The yorng, the innocent, the meek.
His pretty face of angel cast,
SO pale, yet full fholy joy,
Then met his mothcr'; fearful glance,
And said "AIamma die"
His deep blue eyes again We're closed
y world ofhopc, the mother sighed;
The child in peaceful seeming sleep,
Gave God his little sonl-and died

The Washington correspondence of the
New York express, who appesrs to be in
way for obtaining Cabinets concerts, says !:
The approved draft OF the Dallas Convc.,-
ton, if such it may now be called, has
been very carefully prepared with a view to
every reasonable modification further its
acceptance by the English Ministry. at is
said that Lord Napier has been consulted
in this connection, and presumdlion are
advanced, understood to have his acquies-
cencc, TO the effect that the amendments
will be accepted in England. Such, how
ever, is not the general conviction here.
The expectation is, that England will pre-
fer fresh negotiation altogether upon the
same or even basis more favorable for us,
rather than submit to the show of dictation
at the hands Of our government which the
matter now seemingly presents. 1t is,
therefore, a conviction with persons of
more authority in this connection than I
care to indicate, that the treaty as it goes
out will only meet conditional approval
AT most, leading to fresh negotiations and
the immediate return Of Mr.. Dallas. The
"bearer Of dispatches" on this. occasion. is

office OF Distcrict Attorney, for Charleston
District, III the palace oil Thomas J. Evans,
Esq. Mr.. Conner is the son Of II. w. Com
ncr, Esq, Of the Banking House well known
throughout the country, and one Of the
most promising Of the younger lawyers
at our bar. lie graduated at South
Carolina College, in tie class of 10,
with high reputation, sustained through
out his academic course, for ability
and all that assures success for voun~ mau's
future. lie studied law at the Office of the
Hon. Jas. l.. Pc'ioru, and was admitted TO
the practice OF his profession in 1851.
From his first appearance at the bar, he has
been distinguished by energy, pcr<cvcrnr
industry and legal capacity, that have sccur-
ed for him high position among his pro-
tcssional brethren. Doubtless there is no
one OF them, whose years arc not greater
than his own, who in the delivery ola legal
opinion, would be preferred before him. lie
is already widely known as the author of
Conner's Digest-a book long needed, and
which, since it has has been published. has
greatly lightene:l the. labor Of preparation Of
law cases. He is also the author Of The
History Of a .S"d ut La~ which recently
appeared, and which is doing more than was
claimed for it, in not only atlording "aid
and comfort" TO those entering upon the
study Of the law, but also in being of service
+! TO the older members OF the profession. We
hazard nothing in saying, that his appoint
ment will be received with appreciation By
