And the night-wind whlstlcd by,
The silent stars but dimly shono
Through the lowering winter sky--ohi mournfullyi
Ny hair blown by the pitiless breeze
That chaunted dirge through the forest trees,
And murmured wenrily, "oh, be kind to me-"
I rose in the morning early,
Though my eyes were dim with weeping,

Where weary hearts seeping-ohi so quietly
lay me down by the church-yard tree
The branches heaved so lovingly,
Saying, "Rcst near mel will be kind to theeI'

Where the garden flowers grew,
The sun shono high in the noon day sky,
Ny heart shining too-ohi 50 ehcerilyl
For firm, strong heart was beating near,
And soft voice whispered in my ear,
"Thou art all mine--I will be kind to thcor'
That day has passed like night-dream,
So fair, but OIL aeeting
The sunlight left me smiling;
But the moonbeams found me weeping-ohi so bitterly
For the cypress leaves entwined his brow,
And his check pale as the fallen snow;
Oh, II hardi and he so Kind to mel
Ny heart is sad, yet weep not,
The soft, and summer breeze
Seems not so sweet az when twavsd
That day through the forest trees-oh so cheerilyl
From my lattice look up 10 heaven high,
Where angels watch from the starry sky,
And then pray, "oh God, be kind to meF'

The "wandereI'. - Africans.

Tie augusta Sentinel learns from good
authority that about 270 of the wild At
rcans, a portion of the cargo OF the Wan
derer, are now on plantation III South
Carolina, on the Savannah River, having
been brought there two days ago on board
steamboat from some point near Savannah
will soon be offered for sale. Sales have
already been made of some of the cargo.
The Augasta Dispatch has the folding:
Two hundred and seventy-seyen OF
the cargo of Africans recently landed near
Brunswick were brought up the Savannah
River, and put ashore yesterday evening
about o'clock at the mouth Of Horse
Creek three miles below this city, on the
Carolina side One of the river boats is
supposed to have taken them from the boat
which brought them by Savannah in the
night, to a point twelve miles above that
city.
/" We learn on good authority that the
original cargo consisted Of 420, and that
not one Of them died or was seriously i'll on
the pessage. 1t is supposed that the Wan
derer acted onl " as q decoy boat, and that
the vessel that brought them is at large.
Citizens Of our city are probably inter.
ested in the enterprise, and those brought
up the river are supposed to be their share
Of the spoils and have been distributed
on their plantations. 1t IS quietly hinted
that this is the third cargo landed by the
same Company during the last six months.
eve learn that one Of our citizens has
bought slave from the lot recently landed
Just below this city for which he paid
$3.50. He is stout boy about II years
old, and considerable curiosity has been
manifested this morning to see the dis
tinguished visitor " The question has
often been asked, What practical good can
result from the agitation Of the revival OF
the slave-trade ? We point to this cargo
of sturdy laborers, delivered from the
darkness and barbarism of Africa, to be
elevated and christened on our soil
We point to the price paid for this Jolly
son of the jungles, and compare it with
the exorbitant prices paid for the fancy
and less valuable negroes here. And We
claim that these results are the beginning Of
the blessings to flow in upon the South
from the fearless advocacy of the revival
of the slave-trade by one or two indepcr.
dent presses in this state and South Car
DINA. This trade may be cslled piracy
by { false construction Of a foolish law
but the day will come when the South vii!
make it the right arm OF her Legitimate
commerce. And then there may be some
chance for even US poor editors t. own {

The association for the conquest Of Mex
leo and Central America is said to com
prise 1000 members. One of the chiefs
is reported to be Hon. Mike Walsh, who
last summer is alleged to have made an ex-
cursion to Mexico in the interests of the
Association. Fillibuster General Hen
ningsen is to be taken as the light of the
brotherhood. The principles of these
brethren are the same as those formely
professed by the band known in history
and fable as the Forty Thieves, and such
as are still praetlced by their successors
who do business on their own individual
account. This humbuy is Ct the same class
as the order of the Lone Star, and other
grand conspiracies by which the South
has been about to dissolve the Union and
conquer tho whole world any time these
twenty years.
The President yesterday sent to the
Senate the nominations of thirty or forty
officers of the navy, who had been dismiss
ed or reduced in rank by the naval boards
under the act Of Congress for wedding out
the navy and establishing retired list
This is the end Of that attempt to reform
the navy, and the country may make up
its mind to support in idloness any swarm
of drones that may hereafter settle upon
its pay lists, provided they wear swords
and buttons, and sport titles.
