A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.--There lies
in the depth of every heart that dream
of our youth, and the chastened wish
of manhood, which neither cares nor
honors can ever extinguish, the hope
of one day resting from the pursuits
which absorb US; Of interposing be-
tween our old age and the tomb, some
tranquil interval Of reflection; when
with feelings not subdued but soften
ed, with passions not exhausted but
mellowed, we may look calmly on the
past without regret, and on the future
with apprehension. But in the tu-
mults of the world, this vision forever
recedes as we approach it, the pass.
ions which have agitated our life dis
turb our latest hours, and we go down
to the tomb, like sun in the ocean, with
no gentle and gradual withdrawing of
the light of life back to the source
which gave it, but sullen in it's BEAM
less descent, with all its fiery glow long
long after it has lost its power and its
splendor.

Why is it!

Yes, why is it that the people. or rather
the masters Of slaves in and near Win.
chester, do not exercise more attention to
their servants? At night and on Sun
days they congregate in town for no other
purpose than to drink liquor. On Christ
mas day we saw no less than a grocery
or two full of drunken negroes. We
ielt shocked that masters did not look
more to their own interests. While we
believe that the vigilance of our newly
elected town constable will greatly amel,
iorate such state Of things, yet he ought
to have the cooperation of the ownefs
of negroes. IT'S bad enough, aye almost
mtolerable, that many white men carouse
and drink, without decent people being
deviled by drunken negroes.

Judge Jewet, at a late Railroad Con-
vention-when on the question of cut
ing off free passes to edltors,-said
that "this was rather small matter
for the Convention to spend much time
upon. The real evils under which the
railway system of the country was
staggering lay deeper than the reach
of any question of free passes to editors
But he would say that the railroads
of the country could not repay, if they
were disposed, the debt due to the
newspaper press for its powerful aid
when the idea of a railway had to be
explained and popularized-the pub
lie benefits shown, and the people in
duced to come forward and associate
for the purpose OF accomplishing the
great works that now need no advo-
cate. For his part, he was glad to
have editors of the State press pass o.
yer and examine his line. He regret
ed to say that he did not remember To
have met one of the local editors on
the line of the Stubenville road for
months. He could not forget the a
mount of unpaid labor performed in
the infancy OF railway building by the
only men who could reach the popular
heart in the most effective manner"

A NUT FOR THE PHILANTHRoPIsTs.-
The New York correspondent Of the
National Intelligencer says the fact pre-.
sented in the following statement needs
no philosophy to give it solution:
Fifty years ago Hayti was noted for
Its extensive plantations Of sugar, coffee,
and cotton, but they have now almost
entirely disappeared, except those Of
coffee, which are much reduced. At
present the principal wealth Of the island
Is derived from the forests which cover
the greatest part Of the mountains-the
timber consisting chiefly Of mahogany
trees and the different kinds of dye.

Meeting Of the Grocery Mcrchunt
THE CASH SYSTEM ADOPTED.

Alta meeting of the Grocery Merchants
of Nashville, held on the 30th Decem.
Der, 1857, X. J. Morris was appointed
Chairman, and I. C. Burge Secretary.
After the objects Of the meeting were ex
planned, the following preamble and res.
olutions were unanimously y adopted:
WHEREAS, A financial crisis has Wis.
tied all departments Of business, and
impaired confidence and credit 10 such
an extent, that we are compelled to pay
cash for all descriptions of groceries, at
ruinous rate of exchange, in conse.
quence Of our deprecated currency.
Therefore, be it Resolued, That from
and after the first of January next, the
Grocery and Produce Merchants of Nash.
vile will sell no goods except for cash,
or its equivalent in produce, and will fill
no orders for Groceries or Produce, un.
less accompanied by the cash or its equiv
alent in produce.
ResoLUed, That we will each advise
our patrons by circular. card or letter, of
this determination. We feel confident
that the merchants trading in Nashville
will appreciate the necessity Of this
course upon our part, and we would re.
commend them to adopt similar system
with their patrons.

Hay From the following it will be seen
that our grocery merchants can no longer
buy at Nashville upon the usual terms
Of credit. This is a move towards the
cash system which will doubtless be fol-.
lowed by similar action in Winchester.
We cannot blame them, for though the
credit system often works kindly and ad.
vantageously, yeti has its disadvantages

A Prayer for the New Year.

BY MRS. ADELIA C. GRAVES
'Tis the last night of the year,
And sit with boding fear,
When another draweth near,
Shall still be lingering here?
Or shall have passed away,
Wondering back to native clay,
Prisoned from the light of day,
In the darksomc grave to stay?
God OF mercy, God Of love,
Do not thou my soul remove;
Let me still thy goodness prove,
Let Inc live, and breathe, and move,
Let me meekly, humbly dare
Tenant of thine upper air
Object of thy love and care,
Ask another year to spare,
And If granted my request,
Let this year be dOubly blest--
Faith and Hope be each guest
In my peaceful, happy breast.
Let temptation be withstood,
Let ME do to other IS good;
Soin gay or saddened mood,
Social hours, or solitude,
If the message comes to me,
Soul nd body to set free,
Let me feel, If this must be,
have lived one year for thee.

NECESSITY OF SLEEP.-A Chinaman,
convicted Of murder, was recently con.
demned to die by the total deprivation Of
sleep:
He was placed in prison under the
surveillance Of three guardians, who re.
lieved each other every alternate hour,
and who prevented him from taking any
sleep night or day. He lived thus for
nineteen days without having slept for
a single minute. At the commencement
of the eighth day his sufferings were so
cruel that he begged as great favor that
they would kill him by strangulation.

Nothing of special importance trans
pired in the proceedings of Congress on
Monday. In the Senate report was re-
ceived from the Committee on Central
American affairs. The committee state
that the place where Walker was arrest
ed was beyond the jurisdiction of the u.
States-but that III view of all the circum-
stances attending the arrest, it did not
call for any further censure than as it
might hereafter be drawn into precedent.
The time of the House was principally
occupied with discussion on slavery in
Kansas.
The New York Herald's correspondent
at Washington states that letters have
been received there from reliable parties
in Mexico, which exhibit President Com

The writers state that Comonfort had de-
termined to resign aa early as the begin

his favor having been made by some of
his friends, without his knowledge, he felt
himself compelled to endorse it, in the
hope of saving the republic from anarchy
and ruin.
Mr.. Secretary Stenton has arrived at

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN RICHMOND
Between the hours of - and o'clock,
Monday morning, the Cabinet Warerooms
and Manufacturing establishment of
Messrs Binford & Porter, Northeast cor
ner of 18th and Franklin streets, were set
on fire and entirely destroyed The es-
tablishment consisted of two large four
story brick tenements, fronting on Frank
lin street, the western one running back
the dopth of the lot to an alley, and the
eastern one about two-thirds the way, in
the rear of which was frame lumber
house, where various kinds of lumber
were stored. In this rear building, filled
as it was with combustible matter, the
torch of the incendiary was lighted, and
in few minutes thereafter, the house was
wrapped in flames. The fire soon COM
municated with the eastern brick tene-
ment, which burned rapidly, and from
there spread to the main or western bull
ding, in which was the wareroom and
workshops. Some few articles Of furni-
ture was removed in damaged state, but
much the greater portion of the stock,
and all the tools of the workmen, were
destroyed. Messrs. Binford & Porter had
about $4,000 worth of furniture and
stock on hand, upon which they had an
insurance in the Virginia Fire and Ma
rine Office of $500. Their buildings
were insured in the Mutual Assurance
Office for $4,000.
East of Messrs Binfcrd and Porter's
establishment, was the residence of Mr.
James B. Lipscomb, the roof of which
took fire from the burning buildings; and
before the furniture could be removed the
east parapet wall of Messrs. Binford &
Porter's house toppled over on to the roof
of Mr.. Lipscombs building, the immense
weight of the bricks crushing their way
to the second floor, rendering the edifce
complete wreck. Mr.. Lipscombs loss is
covered by an insurance of $4,000 in the
Richmond Fire Association Office.
North of the burnt buildings are nest
of wooden tenements and traps, which
were prevented from taking fire by the
firemen. The Wing building was also in
great danger at one time, but sustained
no injury.
We regret to announce that young
man, by the name of Lewis Luck. a
member of No. Company, while aiding
to extinguish the flames, fell from one of
the third story windows on Governor
street, to the side walk below, distance
of twenty feet, and was so badly injured,
that many who saw him supposed him
dead.
