Where pallid brow and fading cheek
Were by he southern breez famed.
Yet neither Health or Strength came back,
Though wooed within those sunny vales
And Hope still nirted round his couch,
And whispered forth her gentle tales.
And one calm, moonlight night there
came
While weeping friends were gathered
round
A pilot from the unknown port
To which our hero's bark was bound.
All, there were hurried partings then
And mourning hearts in that true band,
As Faith and Hope in triumph bore -I
The hero TO that unknown land, ....
At last his anxious search is ore l 0
And he but waits the trumpeps sound
To shout the welcome tidiDgs forth
That England's noble son is Found.

A Fine Prospect.

Areport from Washington is in circulation
that, with the opening Of the approaching ses-
sion of Congress, bill viii! be introduced fer
the repeal OF the population restriction of the
Eoglish Kansas compromise. Practically, it
matters very little whether this restriction be
repealed or left standing, for it is essentially
a unlity; but as the proposition for repeal,
if introduced, will doubtless give rise to DIS
cussion which will absorb, perhaps, at least
twc-thirds of the session, we have no Office
ton to the experiment. Aud why! Because
the time thus taken up in the ventilation of
the KOnsas nuisance will be so much time
stolen from the hungry harpies Of the lobby,
and the remaining month will be all required
for the consideration of the regular annual
appropriations. II there were any chances
of any good thing from the clOsing three
months session of this demoralzcd and facti-
Gus Congress, we might deplore the re opening
of the Kansas cant and clamOr, but as the
best that we can expect OF the fag end Of this
Congress is limited TO the appro priation
bills, month or two expended upon Kansas
will at least be less expensive to the Treasury
than il devoted to the jobs and plundering
schemes.of the lobby. We submit this view
OF the case to Mr.. Secretary Cobb.--N. \.

Later from California.

By the Overland MaH.-ST. Louis, Nov. D.
The overland mail brings San Francisco pa
pers of the llth ult. The Alta Californian
furnishes the following summary of the news
since the departure of the steamer:
The first mail from St. Louis reached San
Francisco unexpectedly on the morning Of
the 10th ult., in "a days. Arrangements
were being made for appropriately celebrat.
ing the event. A telegraphic dispatch bad
been received at San Francisco from the sum-
NIT Of the Sierra Nevada.
The steamer Cortez sailed for Victoria on
the Och, with only twenty passengers
Steamers were returning daily loaded down
With dsbear tened miners. The total amount
of Fraser river gold dust deposited at the
San Francisco mint to October lst was S5l ;
900.
On the night of the 9th ult., a fire occurred
q. jamestown, which destroyed twcnty-seven
houses, involving loss of $4,000.
Business at San Francisco had generally
been quiet since the departure of the steam
er, but the demand from the country was
full.

Health OF Charleston.

The yellow fever has nearly disappeared
from Charleston, very few fatal cases having
occurred last week. The Courier, of Thurs
day last, says:
"a large and increasing business has been
carried on in our principal staples during the
past three weeks. Cotton bales are awaiting
pressure, though steam is working with all
it's might and speed. True, there are no
signs of winter bustle and energy along
Hayne aud Meeting streets, for their custom
srs prefer to ceme and see and select. They
n ust watch for the silent blessing. But
those sections washed by the river are alive
with olatter and encountered with the eViden-
ces of prosperity.
Many have returned to their homes during
the past week, many are waiting for frost to
open the city gates We would not advise
any who fear the scOurge to expose themselves
to it. But the decrease in the number Of
cases and it's diminished ,irulence, justify
US 10 expecting its disappearance even with
ont the presence of FROST"

Fight with Runaway Negroes.

We have copied an account of the running
oil Of ten slaves from the vicinity of Prunty.
town, Va. Later intelligence states that the
negroes were overtaken in Fsyetse county, Pa
where desperate fight took place, and the
owners and others pnrsulog we're beaten
back. Col. Armstrong, of the pursuing par
ty, was attacked by one of the negroes with
corn cleaver, and would have been killed
but for the interference Of one Of his own
servants, who stepped in to protect his mas
ter. Another of the party pursuing was
iercely attacked and badly injured, while
the negroes made their escape. The fight
took place On what is known as the Bachelor
Farm. A party of about twenty-five persons
started in pursuit of the negroes, but nothing
additional had been heard at last accounts,
from either the pursuing or the pursued.
