culed it from its shady bower,
In all its spotless purity
A freshly blown Cape-Jessamine flower,
An offering to make to thee.
Iknew its glossy leaves would fall,
It's waxen petals soon would fade.
It's beauty, fragrance, perish all
Times blighting fingers on it laid.
And SO perchance the thought of me
The simple offering would bring,
Like it, forgotten soon would be,
And round it no sweet memory cling;
But Oh twas sweet to know that thou
Wouldst look upon its lovely bloom;
And Oh It's sweet to think cen now,
1t breathed for thee its soft perfume.
Our hopes like that frail flower may fade,
Our joys all dreamlike pass away,
And brightness vanish they have made,
Like sunset tints at close of day.
But in the bright and sunny past,
Some mem'ry still will linger long
Some hope to cheer us to the last,
Fen tho they to the past belong.
Oh there are hopes and mem'ries DEAR
From which we may not, cannot, part
Der which may fall full many a tear,
Yet neer be banished from the heart.
As Ger some ruined shrine the flowers
Will still their sweetest fragrance fling,
So mem'res of departed heurs
Around the heart will fondly cling.
As streamlets leaving some bright plain,
Or how'ry source from whence they start,
Divide, and never meet again,
So may our paths be far apart.
Yet, oh be thine mid fairest flowers.
Where cloudless skies and sunbeams glow
Tho mine should be mong thorny bowers,
And ne'er u ray Of sunlight know.

THE MILITARY SPIRIT IN VIRGINIA-AN
EXAMPLE FOR MISSISSIPPI.

L..
Under this title, the Richmond Wbe
says: "&ecent events on our borders have
impaired wonderful, yet natural, impulse
to the military spirit Of the people of Virgin
ia. In all directions--in almost every
county and neghborhood of the State
volunteer companies are being organized
with rapidity. We open scarcely au ex
chapge-we receive scarcely letter that
does not assure us Of the Indignation of our
citizens at the Harpcr's Ferry outrage, and
their determination to neglect no prepara.
ton for their own defense"
This is the intelligence which the Whig
brings us from the Old Dominion. We
hope that Mississippi will not be behind her
sister States, whose cause is identical with
her own, in preparation for the great events
which are threatened by her fanatical and
aggressive foes Aud hence we look with
no little interest to the fate Of the bill from
the Military Committee, which is pending
in the House. Whilst Mississippi is adopt
ing high-sounding resolutions, let ber declar-
ations have meaning in them, and show
that she is resolved to do what is needful
for the protection of her assailed rights.

BAGGING GAME BY MEANS OF THE TEL
EGRAPH WIREs.-A telegraph line repairer
fr IN this city found under the wires at
Newton, N. H., yesterday, partridge, dead
but still warm, which had been killed in a
singular manner. In flying across the line
the wire had passed between the bill, split
ting the head and cutting off the tongue,
thus killing him instantly. We understand
woodcock are often found dead under the
wires where they hang low. This is caused
by the actual force of the collision, and
not, as many suppose, from any injurious
effects of the electric current. The partridge
alluded to above was brought into our count
ing-room yesterday. Boston Traveler

THE KIDD TREAsUEE.-Mr. Marble, Of
Lynn, Mass, has been blasting at Dungeon
Rock for eight years, hoping to obtain the
treasure of Capt. Kidd. Guided in his
labors by clairvoyants and spiritualists, he
has, with the assistance of his son, blasted
passageway, about eight feet in highth and
BREADTH nearly an hundred feet into the
solid rock. The last blast developed ifs,
sure, from which issued current of foul
air that will extinguish fame held over it..
Nj, Marble believes he has less than 10
feet to go to reach the long-sought cave.

Of the many blessings which an all-wise Crea'
tor has bestowed on ungrateful, yet dependent
man, the knowledge of the laws of health and
remedies for distressing maladies, is certainly
among the most useful. For Diarrhea, Dysentery'
Cholera Morbus, and similar affections Of the
bowels, Green's Carminative Syrup acts like .
charm, relieving the sufferer and restoring the
rosy tint of health. A single bottle will convince
the most sceptical. See advertisement in another

Friday last, adopted resolution recon

Tennessee Railroad at some convenient
point, and on the south at Canton with the
New Orleans and Great Northern Railroad
Mr.. T. j. Trezevant, of this city, has gone
on campaign tour to the counties lying
between the points indicated. His object
is to arouse the people to the Importance of
that enterprise, and ascertain what they
are willing to do. That they want the
road, needs no proof. That they intend to
have it, does require proof. We believe
they can build it. We know they ought to
10 it. The subject is susceptible of no light
hat Mr. Trezevant cannot throw upon il,

great experience in the construction and

Gov. WISE AS A PENMAN.-A letter
writer from Richmond gives the following
information in regard to Gov. Wise's rapidi-

Governor Wise, in the character of a

ed in short hand, while his writing is al
most as legible as print had OCCASION
some time ago, to copy some writing of his.

ahead, and though he had to compose when
l had merely to copy, at the close of the
tenth page he was still two in advance. At
this stage he was called off to dinner, and |

cure peculiar sort of pen, which | thought
would facilitate the operation. We both
set to work again simultaneously, and though
he stopped occasionally to mend his pen

then walked rapidly round the room, while

which | was capable, be wound up at the
end of the twenty ninth page, with the two
pages in advance which he had at the start.

ing twenty five or thirty letters day, or
rather within the three or four hours he
spends in his office, besides attending to
other dnties and receiving visitors, who oc.
