THE HAUNTING FACE.

When daily cares and thoughts give place
To quickened memories, oft ON me-
Sudden, unthought ot-geams face,
Which no. one else will ever see.
No space can be within my ken
But there it haply lies in wait
The shadows veil it in the glen,
The rays reveal it on the height.
Down-gazing in stream that lies
Unrulfled meath the placid air,
| meet the light of those deep eyes,
And catch the cleaning of the hair.
Or. as | watch the changing sky,
When feecy white the blue enshrouds,
That face, as from easement high,
Looks out through openings OF the clouds
The solid darkness OF the night
Around it forms a background deep:
1t ever greets me, warm and bright,
Within the vestibule of sleep.
Unsought it comes, unbidden stays;
And yet, all dreamlike tho it be
No actual form that meets my gaze
Has such significance for me.
1t tells of years that golden glide,
Of joys with no regrets between,
Oflife expanded, glorifed-
Of other things that might have been.
Fair as of yore, as young, as bright,
So glows it on my vision now,
Years never rob the eyes of light,
Nor leave a shadow on the brow.
Yet not on earth, nor in the skies,
Exists the face that haunts me so;
That shining hair, those beaming eyes,
Faded for ever, long ago.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
TO strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gid the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland " Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now l invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.

Sword for Commander Hartstene.

The resolution of Congress, allowing Com
mander Henry j. Hartstene, and other officers
ofthe o. S. Navy, to comply with the desire of
the British government, and receive from it
presentation of swords, was unanimously re-
ceived with applause. The gifts are bestowed
AS aprrecialive tribute to the services of those
officers in the cause of humanity.
1t is graiif, ing TO Us that so deserving man
as Commander Hartstene is made the medium
Of international courtesy. As an officer, he is
as popular as he is efficient; while his private
qualities, as a gentleman, rival those which
have made his name so bonored in public.
The swords have arrived at the Navy Depart
ment, and are naturally objects of interest.
The hits are surmounteG with gold eagles
heads, and the guards are appropriately en-
bellished with anchors and cables. The blades
are carved, and the scabbsrds of blue velvet,
mounted with gold. Commander Har;stene's,
the hilt of which is deliberately chased in gold,
is a very beautiful specimen of workmanship.
The inscriptions on the others are as fol-
lows:

discovery Of Coal q Iron In D1i..lsslppI.

This city has long been dependent for It's usual
supply OF coal upon that shallow and tickle river.
the Ohio, which Subjected our ctz ,ns to the FIRE
quert necessity Of paying the most exorbtant pri-
ces for fuel, 6r other reason than that the said
river contained too little water or too much ice to
admit OF navigation But we are glad to see signs
that promise radical breaking up Of that untoward
state Of things, and that speedily. The public has
already bad inklng Of the discovery Of an exten.
five coal mine stsn accessible and not distant point
near the Ouachita River in this State and we have
inst been assured that similar discovery has been
made 10 Mississippi This last mine of coal Is said
30 be situated near the Big Black River on the d.
vicing line between Claiborne and Kinds counties
about eighteen miles east from Vcksburg, and
about the same distance from the New Orleans and
jackson Railroad. u is thus accessible by railroad
TO within a short distInce and by the Big Black
River, which is represented as nayigable TO that
point all the year round
This mine is on the Ia de- Of DR. J. w. Hutchins,
whose post Office is Csyugs, Kinds county, Miss,
where be can be addressed by manufacturers who
want to buy coal for use, coal merchants Who want
IL for speculation. or capitalists who wish to en-
bark in extensive cosl-miuing operations IN the
South. As stock companies are all the sgony 10 the
financial world at pr sent and the ''buls" are hav.
ing hoe time OF il in unlimited clover we hope
DR. Hntchins viii not be unyieldng to the solicits-
INV NC SApftteu " pOoF III upon nlm
TO make bis coal mine the basis of bona fds and
highly marketable price.
But coal is but part Of the mineral and other
treasures discovered on these lands. The stratum
OF coal, which is about four feet thick is said TO be
interspersed with rich veins of iron ore and both
these articles were discovered in digging a well
which contains the finest chalybeste water. On the
same ridge OF land in which these discoveries are
male, Cooper's We'll and Mississippi Springs are
situated. Il extends through Claiborne, Kinds, and
Madison counties, aud has been long known 70 be
rich in iron ore as well as other minerals.
Thus we see that geography and geology both
combine TO furnish an abundance of the most need
fol elem, hts Of commerce, manufacture, and inter-
nal improvement, almost at our doors. Nothing
but intelligent enterprise is wanting to bring to a
brilliant completion what nature has so 'avishly be-
gun. When she'll we have the organization Of the
OuacbiLs and the Big Black Coal Mining Compa-
nies! Bad not the two better be consolidated into
one? We merely make the suggestion for the
consideration Of al parties interested.-N o. Del
