IL The following is the only "drop" we
received yesterday, and We suppose it
must be regarded as our Valentine. It il
quite pretty anyhow.
WREATH OF FLOWERS.
M wreath of hswers twine for thee,
All wet with gliiteriug dew;
oh. may its incense ever last,
And gently speak to you.
oFisose you met in bygone days.
As strangers meet TO TART
say, am now forgotten quite.
Ortreasured in thy heartf
This little wreath I've twined for thee,
Offriendship's choicest flowers, ~,
Whose leaves shall only wiiher here,
TO bloom in fairer bowers.

II The following are the Resolutions
recently passed by the German Republican
Club. Of the county of LaPorte. They
breathe the right spirit:
Resolved, That we, German citizens of
Laporte. recognize the principles Of the
Republican party of the United States as
most conducive to the prosperity Of the
country and the perpetuity Of the Union,
and as best calculated to promote the wei
fare, equality and harmony Of all citizens,
whether native or adopted.
Resolped, That we are Incorporating
opposed TO any interference with slavery
in any Of the States where IT now exists.
and is sanctioned by the laws thereof; and
that we are equally opposed TO its extension
into the Territories by act Of Congress or
otherwise.
Rssolped. That naturalization. by dis
solving all pre-existing allegiance, makes
persons Of foreign birth citizens in every
respect, investing them with the same priv
ileges aud rights Of native born citizens,
and, therefore, entitled TO the same consid-
Grafton and protection at all times, and in
all places.
RssslueS. That we are in favor OF the
speedy passage by Congress Of Home
.tead law, which may afford to every Per
son who is or wishes 10 become an actual
settler, one hundred and sixty acres OF
land as a home for himself and family, and
tha. we have no confidence in the profes.
sions of the so-called Democratic party on
this subject. In the last Congress theii
opposition 10 the measure, both IN the
House and Senate. cOnclusIvely shows
that such professions are hollow and de
csptiye.
Resoised, That the recent vote Of thu
entire Democratic delegation in the HOUSE
for Know Nothing for Speaker, show
eonclusiyely that the party loves SLAYER,
and power more than it hates Know Moth
iu9ism. and that IL is ever ready to sacri
See the interests Of freedom and the right
of foreign born citizens for the sake OF tn
spoils ef office.
Reso.esd, That We are in favor Of Al
economical administration OF Government
aod that the creation Of public debt il
time Of peace affords strong evidence Q
either a corrupt or an imbeeile Administra
tion, and shows that the party now ]
power is unworthy Of the confidence OF tn
American people.

AMUsEMENTS.

PlKEs OPERA-HoUsE. Our play-going
readers Wih bear in mind, we hope, that this
evening is set apart for the benefit of Mr..
Charles Hale, the worthy and excellent
comedian of the Opera house. His persona
tions during the season have earned for him
high reputation among the judicious, and
fixed the belief Of the justly critical that he
iS one Of the best artists that has ever ap-
peared in the city. He thoroughly compre-
bends and represents the parts he under
takes; depending upon no mere power of
earicatuTe or mountebankisn for success
but displaying by a complete aud uniform
development of the character his accurate
conception and careful study of the author.
Mr.. Hale sustains the role Of Bottom" in
Aiasummer Nights Dream, and renders it
vastly droll, causing frequent laughter by the
faithfulncss Of his Interpretation Of Shak-
speare's good natured pumpkin. The
Dream is magnifcently put upon the stage
and ever lover of beauty should witness it.
MELoDEoN HALL.-The royal wizard,
Hambujer, will open the Melodeon next
Monday night He is represented as one of
the most skillful prestgiators in the world
and will introduce a number of tricks which
are said to be entirely new, among which is
the famous SECOND sight, which so puzzled
our amusement-lo7ers during the stay of
Heller at Woods Theater. His perform
heartily advise our readers to prepare to be
astonished.
NATIONAL THEATER-The F2owers of the
Forest, quite an interesting gypsy story, will
be presented this evening at this establish
ment, in connection with the ever popular
farce of Paul PfY The bill is a good one,
and ought to find favor among the haJitues
of the theater.
WooD's THEATER.-Our readers who are
fond of gymnastic and equestrian feats should
embrace the opportunity of visiting Robin
son & Lakes Circus, now performing at
Woods Theater. The performances are ex-
cellent in their way, and deserve the support
of all lovers of amusements of this kind.
CATHOLIC INsTITUTE.-A fair for the bene-
fit of st. Joseph's Asylum, at Cumminsville,
is being held at the Catholic Institute, which,
for the sake of the orphans under its charge.
we hope may be largely attended.
fPIKE's CoNCERT-HALL.-The little fairy,
Dollie Dutton, continues to give her leyees
daily and nightly at the Concert-hall, in the
Opera-house.

Southern News.

MILLEDGEyILLE, GA, December l9.-There
has been meeting of the members of the
Legislature fayoring CO. operation and urging
a convention of such Southern States desir-
GUS of o-operating. An address was issued
to the people of South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi and Florida, signed by fifty two
members of the Legislature. In the Senate
resolution offering the services of the
members of the Legislature in case of coer-
cion of any Southern State, and requesting
the Government to order out all the meni-
beTs of the Assembly first for the field was
lost. The discussion in the Senate on sepa-
rate State action is reported the ablest Of the
session. Mr.. Hill, in blaze of eloquence,
characterized separate action as right ac-
complishing its own defeat, liberty forging
its own chain, happiness poisoning its own
cup, prosperity committing suicide. That
as there is common interest, there should
be cooperation among the Southern
States. The resolutions were adopted--6fty-
six to fifty-four. A reconsideration was
lost. Mr.. Delany's BILL protecting the citi-
zens of Georgia from process in the Federal
courts, was lost by sixteen majority. rg
w. i. Harris, the Commissioner from
Mississippi, was courteously received by the
Legislature. He spoke Monday. One thou-
sand copies of his speech have been ordered.

must be preserved; closing by prescribing
return 10 the Missouri Compromise as the
step now first to be taken. He was followed
by Mr.. Corwine, who spoke OF his wish to
move rejection Of the last resolution; he
had concluded, however, not to make The
motion, and after some suitable remarks.
moved the adoption Of the report entire,
which was carried by aeclamation.
Major Finnell, of Covington, was called
pressed in strong terms the pleasure he had
received in witnessing the proceedings OF the
meeting, and his hope that they would be
productive Of those feelings of conciIiation
now so much to be desired and, on motion,
the meeting adjourned.

WASHINGTON, December l9.-The agent of
the Associated Press denies emphatically
having transmitted any such dispatches as
were the subject of complaint TO- day in the
Senate. He deals in facts, not fancies.
Mr. Cass's letter TO the President is brief,
in which heapproves of the Annual Message.
He deemed unity in the Cabinet Council
necessary, hence his resignation.
The President, in acknowledging the letter,
regrets this difference of opinion. Both gen.
tlemen exchange friendly assurances. ~

the United States Arsenal of Georgia, has

AN ALLEGED CoUNTERFEITER COMMITTED
TO JAII.-Richard Sellman and DR.. Drake,
who, our readers will probably remember,
were arrested last Sunday upon charge of
dealing in counterfeit money, were arraigned
before Judge Lowe, yesterday morning, for
examination. Their tools and plates were
brought forward as silent witnesses against
them, and these, combined with the testi-
mony of the arresting officers, after careful
hearing of the case, were deemed sufficient
to convict the pseudo-physieian, and he was
therefore committed to await trial before
the next term of the Court of Common
Pleas, in default of bail in the sum of 50, 900.
Sellman was discharged.

SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OLD AND WELL
KNOWN CITIzEN.-Most of our readers will
learn with regret of the death of Daniel Van
Matre, Esq, which took place at noon
yesterday, at his residence, No. 100 West
Ninth-street. He had been somewhat un-
well for several days, but was not seriously
indisposed, and regarded his illness as merely
temporary. He died very suddenly while
sitting in his chair, and his demise was ap-
parently as unexpected to himself as to his
relations and friends. He was one of the
Oldest members of the Cincinnati bar, and for
number OF years served the city in the ca
paeity of Solicitor. He was universally es.
teemed by all who knew him, and his death
will be as universally mourned.

Mysterious Disappearance of n Pair of
Germans- Supposed Homicide by DrOwu-
ing, and Escape of the Alleged Murder
ers. -r
About a fortnight ago, three men, who
seemed TO be friends-one of whom, named
William Wright, was resident of the vii
lage Of New Baltimore, in Crosby Town
ship, and the others Germans-and who had
been drinking together during the greater
part of the day, embarked in O skiff, and
two of them were never afterward seen. 1t
was supposed that they had gone upon a
fishing excursion, and as the body of Wright
was subsequently found in the river, it was
also supposed that the entire party had been
drowned.
Since the interment of the body, however,
developments have been made which render
it somewhat probable that his death was
caused by his companions, and that after
the homicide, they had fled to parts uu-
known. In evidence of this, it is said that
Wright and the Germans had been gam
bling, and that they had lost money to the
amount of nearly 500, which the deceased
had upon his person when he entered the
skiff.
U AS no money was found in his pockets
when his body was discovered, and as his
companions have not since been heard from
or seen, it was thought he was first robbed
and then thrown into the river, from which,
in consequence of his semi-inebriated condi-
ton, he was unable to extricate himself,
while his murderers escaped justice by
flight. The affair is said to have caused
considerable excitement in the neighbor-
hood, and the suspicion that Wright met
with death at the hands of the persons who
accompanied him has become matter of
belief with majority of the citizens of the
village in which he resided.
