: So still! The horse is in his stall,
The yoke is off the oxen's neck
The white sheep in their quiet sleep,
The distant hillside speck--
The children dressed as "neat as pins"
Preserve q serious look,
And naught is noisy anywhere,
But yonder rushing brook.
So still! No pealing bell is heard
From turret proud and tall,
For country Christians do not need
A fashionable call
They know the day and well the place
Where words of wisdom fall,
And at the hour, with those they love,
In peace assemble ell
So still! No rustic of brocade
The difference proclaims
Between the well-dressed and the poor
And wealth's superior claims;
No tramping up the aisle in pride,
With heavy stepping feet,
To reach with proper (s) show and state,
The very foremost seat
So still! The gray-haired pastor stands,
His hand upon Gods book
There's Grace upon his pale, calm brow,
And Truth in every look;
His hand upraised-the sign for prayer,
Each knee obedient bends
And every sound, but breath is hushed,
While his deep voice ascends!
So still! he speaks-they hear a voice
Which trembles Ger the tomb
For he is old; but in its tones
They bear no sound of gloom.
With eye of faith he looks above
The path which mortals tread,
And, smiling. says, "Die in the Lord
And blessed are the dead'

HUNTING WITH ARTILLERY. Albert Pike
went out recently with Major Rector, Indian
Superintendent, to assist In the payment OF
the Indian annuities among the tribes west OF
Arkansas. A correspondent of the Fort
Smith Herald, writing from the Creek Agency.
describes Col. Pixies method of hunting the
grouse or prairie hen:
Knowing how wild they are, he came pre-
pared to outwt them. He hunts with piece
of artillery, ask FOUNDER. This be hauls out
on the prairie, and when he discovers "a flock.
he unlmbers, sights the gun and touches her
of. He rarely misses. 1t is very exciting to
see dozen grouse iuttering with broken
wings among twice as many dead ones aud
the captain chasing them round and catching
them. His usual charge Is pound of pow
der and a quarter of bag Of turkey or swan
shot He generally shoots at about 200
yards, lie killed. IN Juhu Seilss field below
here, the other day, 3s grouse at single fire.
Major Rector, who accompanied him, thinks
be must have crippled 1000, that got of
among the corn-stalks and cockle-burrs.

From Washington.


The action of the Senatorial caucus in
removing Mr.. Douglas from the Chairman
ship of the Committee on the Territories has
created the greatest excitement 1t is re-
garded as demonstrating the Intention of the
Democratic leaders TO adhere to the extreme
Pro-Slavery policy adopted at the last session
to reduce the Anti-LucOmpton men to the
position of fraction, and to drive them from
the party.
A leading Southern Senator said to-day
that they had temporiZnd long enough, and
that they had concluded to drive Douglas out
of the party. The South will tolerate no half
way position.
The Anti-Lecompton Democrats express
deep Indignation at the treatment which
Douglas has received. Mr.. Broderick was
not invited to the caucus, and is considered
as having been formally read out of the
party.
The Anti-Lecomption Democrats declare
that they will not submit. Douglas said
recently that he meant to continue the fight
with the Administration to the end.
The movement of his friend Morris of Illi-
nolS IN the House to-day in favor of Free
trade and Popular Sovereignty, is under
stood to be au Anti-AdminStratio demon
stration.
Jefferson Davis and Slidell led the attack
on Douglas in the caucus. There were only
seven voters for Douglas They were thrown
bN Messrs. Shields. Stuart, Clingman, Brown,
Toombs, Green, and Bigler. These seven
Senators protested against the exclusion OF
Douglas as suicidal to the party. The debate
lasted from lOt in the morning to late hour
this afternoon, with an hours recess from II
to L O'Clock for session of the Senate.
Great bitterness was manifested, and Mr..
Toombs left the caucus in disgust, while the
dISSenSlOn was al its height
1t seems pretty certain that Mr.. Hunter
will be the Administration candidate for the
nomination of the Charleston Convention.
The President has recently expressed himself
strongly in favor of Hunters nomination

A Good Hit.
After the reading of the Message in the
Senate Mr.. HALE said.

After the reading of the Message in the
Senate Mr.. HALE said.
1t gives me great pleasure on this occasion
to say, that cordially, entirely, heartily, and
enthusiastically agree with the President in
his first sentence. and that is this:
"When we compare the condition of the
country at the present day with what it was
one year ago at the meeting of Congress, we
have much reason for gratitude to that AL
mighty Providence which has never failed to
interpose for our relief at the most critical
periods of our history"
To that, sir, | most cordially assent; and
should have felt that the President had been
derelict in those obligations of piety which
he is so fond of displaying in his messages. if
he had failed to take notice of the very
happy change which has taken place, and
which, in its occurrence, has been especially
manifested in his own State. / think he has
seen the teachings of Providence brought to
his own door in such a manner that he can
not fail to contrast with the condition of
things that existed year ago their present
condition in his own State and his own
county and his own city. | commend him
for his "gratitude;' carrying out the ex-
ceuent history of that good man, of whom it
is said:

Zzs-The New York Times furnishes the fol-
lowing daguereotype of President Buchanan
1t will be recognized by both friend and foes:
" Mr.. Buchanan had been diplomatist, and
haG indicated the famous pun of Sir Henry
Wooton. who defined a diplomatist as man
sent to lie abroad for hiscountry S advantage
He has since become President and varies the
practice only by lying at home for his own.
His whole official career has been one pro-
tracted game at hide and seek with the truth.
He has been the Sophy Wackles of statesmen.
No man has ever come in contect with him
without grieving that e'er he knew "a chiel so
fair yet so deceiving.' Those who knew him
best have trusted him least; and those who
never trusted him at all are the only persons
he has never BETRAYED"

Among the dramatic corps engaged By Mr..
Marchant for the Charleston and Augusta
theatres during the incoming season, we are
delighted to observe the name of Mr.. Lionel
Barnard. The manager has shown his judg
ment by this capital selection. and the public
are bound to manifest their appreciation at
every hearing of this popular actor. Bernard
is clever fellow in both the American and
English senses of the word. Happening to
know him both as man and az an actor, we
wish to bear testimony to his worth and we
sincerely trust that his winter-season at the
South will not pass without one or two rous-
ing benefits. We observe that he PLAYED in
Wilmington. N. c., few weeks ago, enacting
in one nights performance the three distinct
and difficult characters of Paul Pry in IT hope

So indeed are almost all his representations
If we compare Bernard with Jefferson of
Laura Keene's Theatre. we are perhaps pay
ing him no particular compliment. In some
respects, we regard him Jefferson's superior.
Again we say, successful and pleasant sea-
son to Mr.. Lionel Bernard.AL Charleston Neacs.
Can't we have BERNARD in Nashville once
more? No actor is more popular here.

HAPPINESS IN CHILDHOOD.-It is wonderful
how cheap happiness used to be- 1t lay
about. like the sunshine, within arms length
of everybody 1t uecd to grow in the field;
we have found it there, but not lately. Some
times five speckled eggs in a grassy nest con-
sttuted 1t; sometimes four beautiful ones in
the lilacs. 1t used to swim in the brooks.
and turn up its silvery and notified sides.
like polished little sabre, sprinkled with the
color Of fame. which is generally understood
to be crimson. We have found it, many a
time, beside a messy stone, when it looked
very much like first spring flower; we have
seen 1t come down in the snow, and heard it
descending in the rain. What world of il
used to be crowded into Saturday afternoon!
An old newspaper, with cedar ribs, tail like
three bashaws. and a penny's worth of Irvine,
have constituted, many IA time-that is many
an old time-the entire stock in trade Of one
perfectly happy.

Carrying the War into Africa,

1t is announced that caucus of the demo-
cratic Senator's at Washington, has determined
the removal of Judge DOUGLAS from the
Craftsmanship of the Committee on Territories
! We know of no other pretext for this vindic-
! tive and insulting course, than Mr.. DOUGLAS
| temporary absence from Washington, at the
beginning of the session. This would in
dictate that, instead of cessation of hostili-
ties against the Illinois recusant. the war is
to be continued with increased ferceness and
bitterness. The Washington despatch to the
" T. Tribune asserts that il is the purpose of
the Southern democracy to drive DOUGLAS
from the party. The assertion is plausible,
since this last attack was engineered through
the caucus by JEFF. DAVIS and SLIDELL. If
the purpose of forcing DOUGLAS to take up a
position outside of his party, is persisted in
and accomplished, the decentralization of the
party will be completed at once in the North,
and hopeless division will ensue at the South.
The latter can only be avoided by the organ
ization Of an exclusively Southern party, as
radical and fanatical as the abolitionists of
the North. If this war upon the Senator
from Illinois is to be kept up on personal
grounds, then it is ignoble and unworthy of
men claiming to be statesmen. But if it is
pursued with a view to scctionalize the
South as we took occasion to intimate
several days ago, in order to bring about a
dissolution of the Union, then it is wickedly
reasonable. and deserves the frowns and
condemnation of all conservative men alike
Between the DOUGLAS imbroglio, and the
tariff and Pacific Railroad differences of the
democracy, we may look out for stormy
times during the present session of Congress.
We shall see what we shall see

ES- Commenting on the tour of Mr..
DOUGLAS, in the South, the st. Louis ReprlJEi-
can remarks:
Mr.. Douglas cannot but feel most sensibly
the emphatic applause which his presence is
the signal for evoking as testimonial to his
ability. He receives it, no doubt. with a ma
tural pride and pleasure. But he knows, too,
that it attests as much in favor of his princi-
pies and course of action as of his ability
1t is a demonstration in behalf of Mr.. Doug
las a standard bearer in the Democratic
ranks. Mr.. Douglas, we presume, so receives
it. The great personal popularity it evnces
he will take care to see is so much gain TO
the party with which he has so long acted,
and to which he has rendered so many SPLEEN
did services. 1t will count nightly against
Black Republicanism in the canvass of go,
whatever the position which the Democracy
shall see fit to assign TO Mr.. Douglas in that
great battle.
