Massa in the Cold Ground.

Round the meadow am ringing
The darkies mournful song,
While the mocking bird am singing,
Happy as the day am long.
Where the ivy am creeping
Der the grassy mound,
There old Massa lies sleeping.
Sleeping in the cold, cold ground.
Down in the corn field,
Hear that mournful sound,
All the darkies am weeping,
Massa's in the cold, cold ground.
When the Autumn leaves were falling,
When the days were cold,
Twas hard to hear old Massa calling,
Kasc he was so weak and old,
But now the orange tree am blooming,
On the sandy shore;
Now the summer time am coming,
Massa never call no more.
fl.t Down in the corn field,
Hear that mournful sound,
All the darkics,am weeping,
q Massa's in the cold, cold ground.
Massa mado the darkies love him,
Kaze lie always was so kind;
But now they sadly weep above him,
Mourning for he left them behind.
/ cannot work before to morrow,
So fast tho tear drop flow;
I'll try to drive away my sorrow,
Picking on the old banjo.
Down in the corn field.
Hear that mournful sound, ~
-. All the darkies am weeping.
Massa's in the cold, cold ground.

Wherever he goes, his open, honest face

duce a profound impression.
Gov. Harris has high reputation as q
gentleman in all the private walks of life;
as a politician, however, he is emphati-
cally a trimmer, and is not free from the
arts of the demagogue. His agitation of
the slavery issue is met in the proper
spirit by Col. Netherland. The time will

,... A RAILWAY Train ON FIRE.--An acci-
dent, which might have benn attended
with fearful consequences, occurred to the
express train which ought to have arrived
at Liverpool at 800 p. NJ. Shortly after
leaving Warrington the surrounding
country was illuminated. Above the din
of the train and the roar of the engine,
were heard the cries and shrieks of the
passengers. On dashed the engine
there was not any means of communion
ton with the. gaurd or engineer-and
the roofs of the two carriages next to the
engine, and all the luggage were in
fierce flame. Most providentially the
engineers attention was attracted by the
the brilliant light and loud cries, and the
engine was brought to stand just in time
to enable the passengers to escape unhurt
The flaming carriages were detached and
sent to place of safety, though it is be-
lieved the upper portions of them were
totally destroyed. Such an accident as
this brings the. necessity of communica-
tion between passengers, gaurd and engin-
eer forcibly before the public, and directors
cannot too soon establish q system which
will secure passengers against the awful
position those in the burning carriages
were in last night. -.,

INDEBTEDNEss.-Tbe County Freasurer's re-
port, printed last week, shows the registered in
debteduess of the General Fund of the County
to Nov I'd, TO have been S4l,2S9 43. The last
session of the Board of Supervisors, which closed
on the lst inst, allowed bills on the same Fund
to the amount of S4,i97 65, making the total in
debtedness of the Fund at that time amount to
the round sum of S45,4S7 OS. The Redemption
Fund on the last day of the session of the Board,
called in Indebtedness to the amount of S4,132 64
as will be seen by the late proceedings of the
Board, published on the fourth page to-day, the
amount of cash in the Fund being S3,279 90, a
saving to the county of 1882 II, and the accrued
interest on the whole amount redeemed. So
much for the benefit of the Redemption Fund
Add TO this the amount of cash ($4,54S 02,) in

ing S36,S0G 42 outstanding against the General
Fund-the present indebtedness of the county.
The Indebtedness Of the Hospital Fund at the
of which was allowed at the late session of the
Board. The Hospital expenses, however, was
about $500 less for the last quarter than the pre-
oedng one, notwithstanding greater number OF
patients were treated. There is no good reason
why the Hospital Fund should be in debt. The
"per capita tax, if paid by the voting popula-
tion Of the county, only. as shown by the late
vote, would amount to SS,472, annually, more
than sufficient to pay all Hospital expenses. The
report of ex-Anditor Watson, published last
week, shows that from May lst, 1856 to October
1st, 1852 period of twenty nine months, the
Hospital tax collected and paid out, amounted
TO SeUen hOuSand one hundred and SiTig fOur dol
lars and fifty three cents. The reason of the Hos
pital ndebtness is easily secn-the tax is not one
fourth collected The tax collector asserts that
it is impossible to collect the "per capita" tax
two-thirds of the people Of the county refuse to
pay. Either the payment Of the tax should be
enforced, or the Hospital should be abolished
The Supervisors have assessed "per capita
tax Of S4 on every citizen OF the county be-
tween q and 80 years, a tax to support the indi.
gent sick of the county, aud one which no good
citizen will refuse to pay.
There is but one way to release The county
