Assembly Fiiiibusters.

A resolution was offered in the Assembly sus-
tanning the President in his opinion regarding de-
moralzng and unlawful fllbustcrng exped-
ii ms, and condemnatory of Walkers marauding
exploits. Some trivial fellow moved to have the
resolution referred TO the Committee on Public
Morals" and they were so referred. The refer
ence was meant to be witty way of throwing
contempt on the proposition, but the reports do
not favor the public with the name of the face
tious person The reports are full enough, how
ever, to give us Il profound contempt for the
aguish conduct of Assemblymen who would thus
shrink an expression of opinion on subject
which is disgraceful to our country as as it has
been mischevious to our people.
The citizens of this State have suffered enough
through Filibuster Walkers agency, in the with
drawal of the Nicaragua steam ship line, to make
them execrate the ambitious pirate who, under
pretence Of extending the blessings Of our insti.
tutions to q weak and distracted people, has been
guilty Of atrocities, equang, if not surprising
the inhumantics of Warren Hastings. To atone
for his massrcre of people unworthy the hostility
of brave men, and the unprovoked murd Ter of his
fellow marauders, this plunderng outlaw has
done nothing g-this "gray.eyed man of destiny
has accomplished nothing beyond prolonGing his
own life, and fertalizing the territory invaded
with the blood and bones of his men. lie imi-
tates the atrocities, and issues the proclamatons

and therein consists his Generalship. No well-in-
formed citizen will deny this man Walkers fla
grant violation of the neutrality laws, of the laws
of nations and of the sacredness of treaties

crnment he has done nothing to entitle him to

a Woman Frozen 90 Death.


A st. Joseph correspondent of the ST. Louis
RcpU6HcdR, in giving an account of the death by
freezing of a white woman in that vicinity says /:
The white woman was an eccentric stranger
who had wandered into the neighborhood Of the
Platte, asking aims, which, in that rich country
were given her freely. No one knew her history
nor did she seem to have friend on earth, cx-
cept little boy, some nine years old, whom She
called her son, and who was the faithful compan-
ion Of her erratlc peregrinatons When the cold
spell came on, gentleman advised her to come
to town, when be would see that she was com
fortahly provided for but she refused, and said
1t was her destiny to wander. The second morn
ing after the little hoy came to his house and
told him that his mother was dead. that she had
frozen to death, aud that he was almost frozen
too. The gentleman took the poor little fellow
and had him warmed and wrapped In thick cloth
ing--for his garments were thin and torn and
then went with him to the place where his dead
mother lay. The spectacle was narrowing.
In the corner OF deserted cabin, which had
neither doors nor windows TO shut out the cold,
among some miserable remnants Of clothing
which but halfcoucealed her snowy limbs, drawn
up rs If still in agony Of offrcc2ng, she lay rigid
corpse. Her countenance, however, was as Sc
rene as though she slept, and faint smile was
seem to lnger tmdly about the corners Of her
mouth, as il 1t had long been n stranger there,
but bad come back at the last moment to let the
stranger, as he gazed upon H. know that that wan
face, where misery and woe had left Sc many i'm
prints, had once known happiness. Her features
were delcately moulded, her hair was silken and
of n chestnut hue, and her hands aud feet were
small and indicated gentle blood. Her stature
was Of medium height, her form well turned, and
her age, IN death, appeared to oe between twenty
eight and thirty IN itle IL had seemed forty.
The little boy is wholly obliyious Of the place
of his nativity, nor does he kdow any other name
than George. She called him George and he
wandered with her from his earliest memory
He does not know relation in the world He
does not know that hc ever had father lie has
sometimes in his sleep heard his mother cry. 'Oh,
George, George do not do not leave me. |

and told her that he would not Cave her, when
she clasped him in her arms and said, NO, my
SON / know you will not leave me- And then he
thought twas some Que else Of whom she dream.
ed--perhaps his father, but he did not know, nor
even asked her She was always sad, and wrpt
almost inccssantly She talked but little. She
appeared to bo IN search Of some one, aud made
the asking of aims a preteXt for looking into ey-
cry house along the way of her long, weary pill
grlmage.

THE HAUNTING VOICE.

The voice of a woman, for ever,
Runs sobhing after my soul
Night or day, day or night, can never
Escape its mournfil control
Its moaning aud musical dole
PurSues me forever and ever
1t comes to my memory, mingllng
With words Il uttered of yore,
When its tones through my veins went q
[tingling
With thrills never felt before
With thrills felt now nevermore,
Not even in homes holy mingling
Says the sorrowful voice, "Oh my darling.
Did love that being endow.
Whose prattlc out-warhles the starting
And makes home happier now?
You took the marital vow
Aud perlurcd your SOUL oh my darling !"
SO forever this voice of woman
Cries desolately to me
This voice as certainly human,
As voice OF human can be-
No matter whittier flee,
Still hear this voice Of woman.
Down TO death and The sepulchre's portal
This voice shall follow my sin,
oh what il this voice Is immortal,
And where the blisScs begin
Shall come and welcome me in
With joy through the heavenly portals

WeaverviIIe Isurying Place.

EDITOR TRINITY Journal Il hope you will
direct the attention of Weaverville citizens to
the miserable appearance of the village grave
yard have been in number of mining towns
OF less note than this, and in none of them have
seen the burying place so much neglected.
There is hardly another grave yard in the State
without a substantial fence round it, and think
it is quite time that the citizens of Weavervlle
should remove the reproach of having neglected
their dead. If no other way, let subscription
be started ! am sure every resident would con-
tribute, and know of no better way to call at
tention to the subject than this. Lend us hand,
won't YOU? A CITIZEN.

"THE HAUNTING VoICE"-The poetical frag-
ment which we print in this number equals Poes
most weird and sepulchural imagnings. What
can be more terrible than an avenging spirit pur-
suing the soul relentlessly by day, and through
the territory of dreams, wailing out broken oaths
and vows, and beckoning the destroyer of peace
down to the caverns of despair, where unredeem-
ed love-pledges are hung all along the walls, and
curseful words are written on the rocks. Even
at the gates Of refuge, beyond the flight of every
other avenger, the ever haunting, indistructible
voice will "come to welcome him in" and to fol-
low him down through the aisles Of heaven, for
ever and ever.
