LINES,
Dedicated TO the memory Of the late Mrs. MA
RY A. CROWN, eonsost Of Mr.. SAnuEl
CRowS, of Montgomery county, Nd.
Fare thee well, beloved mother,
Thou hast quit the shores of time
Thou hast gone TO dwell forever
In yon fair and blissful cline:
Where the Tree of Life is growing,
And IFS leaves the nations heal
And the stream Of life is flowing,
Where no thieves break through and steal
The wintry storm and blast are sweeping
Here across thy crimson tomb,
Where thy silent dust is sleeping
But to thee they cannot come.
Mcthinks I see thee now, dear mother,
AS thou vast in gone-by day
Thy children then were all together,
And engaged in childish play.
Then with what complacent pleasure
Thou didst watch their joyous glee,
And in love didst guard thy treasure
As we handled round thy knee.
And when night DER day came stealing,
And the time arrived for regt,
Thou didst teach us--each one kneelng--
Fold the hands across the breast,
And invoke the great jehovah
For such little ones to cure,
And that his arm might MS be over,
To preserve from every snare.
But OH the spoiler, Death, demanded,
And her spirit wing d its fight
And we think she safely landed
On yon fair and shining height.
Farewell, mothcr--not forever;
But till God shall bid us rise,
Where no death the bond shall sever,
When we meet above the skies. J.-lt

The SUPREME Court AND THE PRE-
sIDENT In conformity to custom. but
not less in compliance with their own
sentiments of respect for the Chief Ma
gistrate Of the nation, the venerable Chief
Justice of the@Supreme Court of the
United States, and the associate justices
who had arrived in time for the opening
of the coart--namely, Judges Nelson,
Grier, Clifford, and Campbell paid their
respects yesterday to President BuoHAN-
AN.
The interview was most agreeable
one on both sides; and it may easily be
imagined that, at this crisis, could the
PUBLIC have read the hearts of that learn
ed and distinguished company, they
would have rejoiced that, amidst the
rage of factions, the Executive and the
JUDICIARY Of the nation are in the hands
of men who think only of there WHOLE
COUNTRY, the UNION, and the CoNsrITU-
TIoN.
THE VICE PRESIDENT. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge took the earliest opportunity, after
the adjournment of the Senate yesterday,
to call on the PRESIDENT, by whom he
was received with that frank and cordial
manner which, out-stepping the bounda-
ries of official etiquette, characterizes
the receptions of Mr.. BUCHANAN.
VISITORS TO THE PRESIDENT -Yester-
day very large number of our most
distinguished countrymen and country
women availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to pay their compliments to the
PRESIDENT ON the occasion of the open
ing of the session of Congress.
These ladies and gentlemen, from ev-
cry part of our widespread Confederacy,
bring with them assurances of decoted-
ness to the Union on the part of those
portions of the people whom, by their
intelligence, their talents, their grace,
and their social qualities, they are emit
tied to represent.-Constitution Of Tues
day.

PRoBABLE ARREST OF RICHARD REALF.
From the following, which we copy from
the Alexandria correspondence of the
Washington "Star," Of Saturday last,
it is more than probable that Richard
Realf, whose name appears so conspicu-
ously in connection with the Harper's
Ferry plot of Ossawatomie Brown, has
been arrested in Alexandra. Hisperson
answers to the letter, it is stated, "a des-
cription given of him by one who knows
him we'll. When arrested. his person
was disguised with a large surplus Of
clothing, 50 as to conceal entirely his true
proportions of figure. Realf is an I'M
naiuralized Englishman.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. 3, 1859.
A man, calling himself James Tenn
pest, was arrested here on Wednesday
night, on suspicion of being connected
with Browns raid. He was confined in
jail, and yesterday underwent further
examination before Justice Summers, in
the presence of several persons from
Poolesville, Md, whence it was stated
by the prisoner, when first arrested, he
had escaped, at the instance of tavern
keeper named Connolly. Mr.. Connolly
was present at the examination, and be-
ing sworn, the following facts we're elici
ted, viz: Tempest came to Poolesville
on Saturday last, aud acted in a manner
to excite the suspicion of its citizens that
all was not right about him. Conse-
quently, he was called upon to give an
account of himself, which account not
being satisfactory, he was committed for
jail, yet before the commitment was
placed in the proper hands, he escaped.
The most interesting part Of this af-
fair is that the prisoner is supposed to be
Richard Realf, the Secretary of State
under Browns Provisional Government,
who is mentioned in Cooks confession
A further examination into the facts will
be had on Monday.

One OF THE CAUSES OF THE EXCITE

Upon the return home of Colonel

his return we're his dogs and negroes
A near neighbor of his, hearing the
hubbub. and thinking that perhaps Capt
Cook had stolen down the mountains aud
made another attack on the Coloneps
place, collected his negroes and started
over to fan the Captain out if neces-

asked what all this fuss meant, told the

The SoUrH CAROLINA LEGIsL AZURE CON.
PARsD WITH TIE LEGISLATORS OF NEW YoRK,
The Legislature, which is now sitting here, pre-
sents some striking contrasts with the Legisla-
ture OF the State Of New York. Incredible as
1t may seem to the Weed, Matteson, and Other
lobby men, there is a State Legislature meet
Ing daily in this city, without "third house, -
or q single lobby within the boundaries OF
the capital. Nay, more a United States sen.
ator is about to be elected, and not wire pull
ed 10 influence votes-nOt a single lO.s nose is
poked into the ear Of senator or representative
TO win him over to ''our candidate
1he manner of conducting the business of
the houses here differs materially from tie
method in New York. The presidents of the
two bodies are seen dressed in purple gowns.
lIued and fringed with velvet of the same color.
and with kid gloves on their hands, while the
clerks wear flowing silk robes after the fashion
OF English bsrristers. The members observe
bat little order, walking about and conyersing
while business ia going on, and only seated and
silent from courtesy during a debate The
fashion, too, Of wearing the hat during the ses-
sion-vislters only are required to be uncovered
gives the houses a rowdyish appearance, very
similar to our legislative halls during a recess.
The presiding officers Of both houses are dig
nihed and able men. and conduct the business.
in the midst of the confusion, promptly and
correctly. Very rarely, indeed, is a point of
Manual representative from Queens be caught
suddenly in the South Carolina lie esislaiure, he
would be Gagged and shown as a curiosity.
There are in the House Of Representatives
three reporters, and in the Senate one But
this is accounted for by the fact that no lobby.
ing is done on the floor, and no stationery or
ders are allowed. Both members and report
ers are furnished with such articles of station
cry as are required for use in the chamber, and
that is all. Another feature Of the distinc tio n
between this Legislature and our own is the
fact that every member here pays full fare for
all his railroad riding. No such thing as a
free pass" to representative was ever heard
o in the State.
The moral Of all this is. that the South Caro-
linians legisats for the State instead of for in
diViduals; waste no time over needless matters;
lay no pipe for log rolling; steal nothing, either
from the State or from individuals who desire
legislation; meet, do up their business and go
home, paying their board and washing bills
and their farss.-COIHmbia Correspondent ~
