Gen. QuitInan,s Illness.

The following letter relating to the pariic-
ulars of Gen. QUITMAN's illness, Published in
the Vicksburg True .SOutLron. as emanating
from one of his 'estccmed and dear friends
will be read with interest:
Editor True So,ahron:
In your issue of yesterday morning. you
allude to the illness of Maj or General Quit
man. A few particulars may interest you.
The General was one of the victims of the
National Hotel poisoning, having dined there
on that fatal day which has cost thirty-one
persons their lives, and destroyed the health
of sixty or seventy more. Since that day
Gen Quitman has not seen we'll hour. But
so long as ne felt that duty TO the South and
to the Republic d mandcd his presence in
Congress he has faithfully remained there:
but for the past few months, painfully com
batting with the rapid increase of the disease
under which he is now sinking.
As soon as Congress adjourned, he fastened
to his home. hoping that CESSATION from work
and repose in the bosom of his family, would
restore him to health. The fatigue of travel
ing ght and day exaggerated his disease and
when he reached Natchez he was compelled to
take at once to his bed.
The marriage, few days afterwards, of his
daughter to Captain Lowell, u. 5. N, of the
Water Witch" revived his spirits-greatly
depressed by his disease-and he Hospitality
remained up until after midnight, to do the
honors to the guests with that courtesy and
Ability which characteristics him. The fatigue
and excitement of this occasion was too much
for his enfeebled constitution, and increased
his malady so that since then he has not been
able to leave his room, and for the few past
few days he has been rapidly sinking. con-
slant fever has been upon him for many
weeks, and the stalwart frame of the old war
rior is wasted and emaciated so that his friends
would with difficulty recognize him.
He is cheerful and hopeful, resigned and Sc
rene and seems to feel more for the beloved
ones around him than for his own enevitable
fate. God grant that he may yet rally and
be restored to his family and country; but
when we last gazed upon his pale countenance
and behed his PROSTATE condition we felt
that there could be no hope cherished.
The physicians who attend him, it is said,
perceive IN his disease the unmislakable effects
of arsenic. III.

Wheat Crop I'm Kansas.

The late Kansas papers contain cheering
accounts of the excellence OF the wheat,
m,ny fields producing twenty-five aud thirty
Bushels per acre, some fields producing heavy
returns without any attention whatever dur
ing the present year-the seed being the waste
of last years crop. In some places, wheat
that was well put in yield forty bushels per
acre. The Kansas farmers declare that that
Territory has no superior on the continent,
as wheat growing country. The Kansas
Nelos, (Emporia,) Of June goth, says:
"Old residents Of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin aud IossA. concar in the opinion
that for wheat growing, kansas is ahead of
any country they have ever seen. Next year
we may rely upon raising wheat enough not
only TO meet the home demand TOR home con
sumption. but To leave a surplus for the sup
ply OF military stations ON our Western fron-
tier. Good Touring mills are needed, and
will pay"

Green, the Diver.

The New York Courier and Enquirer gives
the following narrative of the descent OF
Green, the diver of the Atlantic, lying at the
bottom of Lake Erie. Poor Green! his daring
was too severely punished:
Not many months since, a vessel was lost
in water whose depth at the place of the
laundering about IA feet. There was a
portion of the cargo so valuable that it became
advisable to use every effort possible to re-
cover 1t. 1t was scarcely possible to do any
thing. It was far beyond all ordinary means
of human action; ii might be reached, though
it would be a bold attempt. by the diver He
was sought and found, and a recompense,
which on land would be a prnceIy one was
guaranteed to him. Men will do more than
docs become a man" for rich reward. To
feed him with air, powerful pump, worked
by six men. was brought, and hose doubly
strengthened was made. All the appliances
that the most liberal management could sug-
gcst were ready for his aid. He was sur
rounded by intelligence and courage and
humanity. He dared the deep water once,
twice, seven times.
The men at the break of the air-pump
wrought with the might of earnest strength.
They fed the vital current to the bold diver,
and lie had the courage TO trust them. Their
work was his breath. When he came up he
told the gentleman that superintended the
trial. that the air at that depth, as the ma
chinery forced it to him. cracked and hissed like
HefTyiHg Of hot fat. and that very movement OF
the pump fell on his breast like the blow of
the crow-bar! You go down no more for me,
said the kind hearte gentleman who stood
by him, as he came on deck. In the intensity
of all his experience. this too daring man
besought for the opportunity for another
trial. The gentleman refused but the diver
insisted on going for himself. He went and
returned a paralyzed man, and just holding
life now crawls along. The claret bottle at
his girdle, corked tightly and empty, was
filled when he came back. though the cork
was not disturbed. The water had forced
itself beyond power of cork or glass.

A arm onious Party.
The Richmond ENQUIRER last week 50

The Richmond Enquirer last week said that
''The Democracy of Virginia. so far as we
can judge, have been about equally dipided on
the question of Lecompton or anti-Leconp-
ton"
So 1t Is evident, may it be said of Missouri
another slave Stat. In Illinois, probably.
nine-tenths of Democratic party are oppos d
to Lecompton; even the Augusta Constitutional
ia is forced to admit that the l., compton
Democracy there are a ''mere faction In
Indiana and Pennsylvania, too, there are
indications that the Douglas wing is stronger
than that of the Administration.
In view of these divisions among them
selves, how ridiculous aud hypocritical it is
for Southern Democratic presses to heap
denunciatiOns on few faithless Americans in
Maryland and Kentucky! The beam in their
own eye is a much more serious and danger
Gus matter, because their desert, rs are not
only more numerous, but there is no knowing
what alliances they are going to make or to
strengthen. Nearly all the influential
Abolition demagogues in Congress were once
National Democrats. '-CJlnabas Enquirer.

For The PatriOt.
The One 4 Love.
BY RANDALL

Behold her there amid youths farest flowers,
Entwined alone by natures secret hand;
Whose building blossoms send forth fragrant
showers,
And crown her there the fairest OF the land
Behold her there; and mark the wreath Of love,
How gently DER her placid brow it steals;
While trembling dew drops born IN realms above,
Do gisten cen where hopes of love reveals.
Behold her there; see now what dazzling sight,
From out those orbs of heavenly brightness falls;
Revealing treasures hid from mortals light
By dropping curtains raised when nature calls
Behold her there now gliding lightly by,
Strewing around her rays Of hope and love;
Whose shadows steal their brightness from the
sky,
And watt all hearts with hers, far, above.
Behold her there; no sorrow casts gloom,
Around her heart blasts the joys that SWELL
Within those portals where each light doth bloom,
That points her there where saints and angels dwell
Give me one flower, give me one dew drop bright
Give me one ray Of hope from realms above;
Give me heart whose beatings all are light,
Then Irvine them there with hers the one love.

All whittier, sweet consider, hast thou gone
Thou child OF mercy. lovely sympathy 3D.
Since last saw thee, years have passed away;
And, if now remember rightly, thou
Vast with an aged mother then-or il
May be wits or sister dear-that led
Thee 70 the couch where one, by fevers scorched
And other ills oppressive, for weeks had lain.
But have not forgotten thee-ne'er shall
Forget the joy felt when thou vast near
To cool the brow, TO cheer the aching heart
OF him who lay there helpless and alone.
But they are gone, the mother, sister aud wife,
Forever gone; and I've not seen thee since,
May not again unless some hayward child
BY love constrained and due obedience
Shall chance TO light upon thy fairy form,
And by its smiles allure thee to my side
But this cannot well be, for thou dwell'st not
Always about the play grounds Of the child.
And vainly seeks he who expects TO find
Thee lettering about amongst the sons of men.
