JusTIcE TO JoHS BELL.--Hon. Linton Stephens,
Democrat, and late Judge Of the Supreme court Of
Georgia, in his speech at Augusta, on the 27th inst,
said: 8
Mr. Toombs said, in his speech on Saturday
night last that Mr.. Bell, while in Congress, had
continually voted with the North whenever therc
sectional division on any question before the
House. Now am net here as the defender nor as
the advocate Of Mr.. Bell but in justice to him, must
ask leave to correct this statement. Mr. Bell voted
against the Wilmot Proviso that was not voting
against the South Mr.. Cobb voted for It, Bell
against it Mr.. W. l., Yancy voted for il. Bell voted
for the compromise bill of 1850. So did Toombs.
There were too strong, marked clauses in which
Mr.. Bell voted for whet is called the squatter SOW
reighty clause in the Kansas bill. True he voted
against the bill finally; but Mr.. Toombs ought not
to object 70 him occount of sqautter sovereignty ii
the bill his objection was that it interferred with
certain Indian rights He voted for the main part
however. sNse Is b
He is an honest man, IL he il democrat.

as having gone TO hear Brceknridges speech strong
Breckenridge men; but when he was found want
ing in the manly courage to answer the questions
so boldly and nobly answered by Mr. Douglas, at
Norfolk, they returned home repudiating him and
his Yancey disunion clique. We can vouch for the
truth of the report Winchester Chronicle.
We have reliable informatioE that sir Breckin-
ridge Democrats who reside in a neighboring coun-

Of the speech of Mr.. Breckenridge. We hope that
it will be placed in the hands Of every Breckin-

FOR THE CHRONICLE.
On the death of little Tommie,



More room ia Heaven an angels come,
Too pure and bright for earth, 1t flies
From its mothers side, its fathers home,
To seek its own beyond the Skies
II is the sweetest seraph there
The sinless soul that joins you now;
The brightest oRe--the one most fair
For Gods own seal was on its brow.
II wondered off from its home of bliss,
From the angelic band of love,
To linger a little while in this
Then seek again the bright "above."
fathers hopes were around his boy,
The child he deeply idoiized;
fathers pride, mothers Joy
Here could never be realized
This eartn could boast not gem more fair,
Than Tommie in his childhood bright
Beauty shone In his soft flowing hair,
And sparkled in his blue eyes bright,
An angel Of bliss, his mission here,
A mission pure of love, was given
To soften the hearts of his parents dear,
And lead them up to God and Heaven.
Their darling birdie-their gentle dove
From his home in the bright blue sky,
Flutterd down on his errand of love,
And bound their souls to God on high:
HiDiseb the link in the golden chain,
Tween God and them, his mission DER,
He spread his snowy wings again,
Thro' realms of bliss for aye to soar.
But stricken parents yc cannot bow,
as yet submissive to the blow;
Ye're not prepared to acknowledge now
The hand of mercy laid him low.
Ye cannot yet feel the Christening rod
Is to thee in mercy given,
To link yoar souls still nearer God,
And win back your thoughts to heaven.
Your hearts brought up from their deepest cell,
From every fibre quivering there,
The all of their love, on him to dwell
Your precious boy, so sweet and fair;
But it couldn't stay his wings from the sky.
Such jewel too brightly shone
God needed such for his crown on high,
And called away your precious one.
Think, brother dear, he's an angel now,
He's cradled in his Savior's arms
An immortal crown is on his brow,
And fadeless are his infant charms.
Beloved onesl would soothe your sorrow,
And turn your thoughts from earth away,
Would you to bright tomorrow,
To refulgent, endless day.
Oh think when you cross the river death,
And reach that bright and happy shore,
Your o,on iop'd one there will hail your barque
And ye will part in heaven no more.
Have faith-wipe away the bitter tear,
And turn your hearts from Tommie's grave
To yoE bright starry dome-hes there
He's gone in founts of bliss to live.
Sweet Tommiel l rejoice with thee,
Tho my fond heart was filld d with pain;
From sin and care thy soul is free
Is free from every earthly stain.
Our bird, our white wing'd dove, has flown,
To his home on our Savor's breast;
Little children he calrd his own,
Then sad weary hearts be at rest.
