HEAVEN.


beyond these chilling winds and gloomy skies
Beyond deaths cloudy portal,
There j. a land where beauty never tkes
Ahs love becomes imnOrtAl,
land whose hight Is dimned by shade,
Whose fields vernal
wherc nothing beautiful ever fade,
But blooms for aye, eternal.
We may not know how sweet its balmy air
How bright and fair its flowers
We may not hear the songs that echo there
Through those enchanted bowers.
The city's shining towers We may not see
With oar dim, earthly vision
For death, the silent wa rder keeps the kew
That opes these gates eysian
But sometimes when adown the western sky
The fiery sunset fingers,
Its golden gates swing inward noiselessly,
Unlocked by unseen fingers.
AND while they stand moment half siar
6leams irom the inner glory
stream brightly through the azure vault afar
And half reveal the story.
Oh, land unknown Oh, land Of love diyinei
Father all wise, eternal
Guide, guide these wandering way-worn fee of mine
Into those pastures Ternall

The redoubtable General Gideon j. Pillow
Is out in u long letter in favor OF Douglas
Pillow Is slave code Democrat, and argues
that the election of Douglas is the surest
means OF securing the passage of laws by
Congress to protect slave property in the
Territories. Here is, in brief, the programme
OF the illustrious Pillow:
''Let the National Democratic party, aided
by ail conservative parties, unite their ener.
gtes aud crush ont the Republican party
That being done, let the South demand the
passage of sush laws as are necessary TO pro-
test the rights OF the STAKEHOLDER in the Ter
rltories. This demand should, at the proper
time, be made Of Congress, whose duty il 10,
under the Constitution, to pass the law.''
Then Gideon, 10 all the power Of italics,
appeals to bis slave code brethren TO recog
nice the virtues Of their Northern colaborers
AMI to permit them to achieve the foal vic-
tory in favor OF the South In their own way:
"Why, then, should we. in party council,
by All unreasonable demand as 10 me time,
embarrass, cripple, disarm our allies in the
great battle soon TO come offs Ought we
nat rather TO consult them as 10 the best
means OF obtaining victory? Should we no,
arm them with weapons they understand The
use of2 They know the enemy, and better
understand than we do how 10 fight him sue
cesstuly. Their section OF the country ID &c
lie he battle ground. Victory il our gain
defeat our loss. The Northern Democrac,
have ever been true 10 the Constitution, IL
all It's parts. They have thousand time,
aeiendel as from the assaults of this same
Toe, and have never faltered in defending GU,
rights Shall we then now distrnst them -
Shall We tie arp their haads2 Shall we dir.
arm them, aud strike down their chose,
@dder, who u covered NIL orcr nith scars
seeefred IN baffttag for our rights?''
After which he shrcwdly hints that til,
Northern Democracy are only consulting ex
pediency in seeking to secure the slavehod
er's rights in the Territories in a round abou
way, as Northern sentiment was in oppostio,
to it, and be urges TINT Douglas is anxious /,
protect slavery in the Territories, for
understanding his recent speech in tn
senate as tanfam0Ent TO admitting the orin
ciple OF protection as claimed by the South
therefore am in favor Of his nomination TO
the Presidency that | believe with him a
our leader We can crush out Republicanism
and that then, with patriotic Congress an
PRESIDENT, We can demand and obtain TN
passage OF such laws as will satisfy tn
South; that entertaining these opinions,
am opposed 10 the withdrawal of the South
ern States from the Charleston Cc.-er,i.,,
a. likely to precipitate by it's consequence,
upon the South, the very dangers IL was in
tended to avert, and that IL that m ovement
persisted IN, II must ultimately endanger I'll

The Loeofoco candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania has been at Washington City
heseeching the siaveholding Senators TO vote
for the tariff bill as che only salvation of the
Democracy in Pennsylvania. 1t seems, how
ever, that bis appeals have failed to move the
untitled Slaveholding Aristocraoy who rule
the party as with rod of iron, and compel
the Northern doughfaces TO harder service
than that Of "making brick without straw"
In view of their hard lot Democratic cor
respondent of Pennsylvania, in bitterness Of
spirit, mourns like the "whang doodle"
thus.
10 ii not very strange that, at the very mo-
ment when everything conspres in favor of
q sensible and permanent change i'm the tar
stuhbornly in the way, and refuse to aid in
the good workp They are constantly attack
ing every appeal made BY our people, no mat.
ter whether IL assumes the shape Of tariff,
a river and homestead bill; and, at the same
time, they insist upon making the most obi.
Gus doctrines tests in the Democratic party.
To persist insuch double injustice IL assured
~ to make Democracy only another name for
Despotism.
The writer hits the nail on the head in
calling Democracy another name for despot-
lem. The fact is one which the penns ilva-
mans we're slow to discover, but they will be
very sure to profit by the discovery now that
it is made.

Arrival OF she Overland Matt-~M ore
Inuinn Troubles.

INDEPENDENCE, June 7.
The New Mexican mail, with dates 90 the
18th ult., arrived to-day.
The Navajes indiana made an attack upon
Fort Defiance, few days before the mail
left, and came very near taking il, an they
were not expecting anything Of the sort.--
Fortunately, by some Encouragement Of the
Indians, their presence was discovered, and
after some fighting, they were repulsed. i
Trains OF wagons were arriving ut various
points In the territory, almost daily, and
business Was resiving TO some extent, bat ii
was still somewhat depressed.
Six companies of soldiers are on Red River
on the lookout for Indians.
Six companies ALEC left Pawnee Fork on
the first inst, on . scout, and ii they do not
receive countermanding orders they will, no
doubt, drive the Indians from tho road or
whip them into submission.
The forty dragons that left Pawnee Fork
some weeks ago, to attack band Of Kiowas,
returned without finding them.
This mail came through without an escort,
not seeing an Indian on the road, and would
have made schedule time, only they travelled
five days with an OK train.
A train OF nineteen wagons left here to-
day for Denver City, and others are making
preparations for leaving in few days.
The news here from the gold mines is very
hatterlng, and has created quite stir am one
the friends OF those ont there.
The weather 10 still dry here.

The following lie a passage from a remark.
able statement in the Cork Eraminer of May
IL, bearing upon the continued fight of the
population from that port alone to the newly
adopted land Of the Irish Celtic race:
each week sees the departure on an av.
crage OF 600 persons, the great majority OF
whom ere young men and women between 90
and 80 years of age. To imagine the effect
Of Ibis drain upon the community, we might
instance that If these 600 were drawn from a
town like that of Bantry, there would hardly
be young man or woman left in IN. Tho
actual numbers are greater than the popula-
.ion Of many large villages, and fortnights
draught Mt that rate would utterly depopu-
late go considerable town as Millstreet.--
Remembering that almost every one of these
rsrsons is Of condition to be of actual value
to the community - the men rs farm laborsrs
q mechanics; the women, either in agricul-
tursl labor, as servants, or, still more i'm
portant. as the healthy mothers of strong
children, il Is easy TO conceive how terrible
is the loss to the country. Nothing can i'm
press this fact upon the mind so strongly az
actual witnessing the crowd preparing for
their departure.
Among the entire number there ia not an
indication OF aqualor or misery; not single
rag on tue UEaR Oh IT'S owner lnuicAEe6 tnht
he or she is flying from poverty, not weak
limb or pale oheek-scarcely wrinkled
face indicates that the country is getting rid
of burden. Sturdy, athletic young men,
healthy aud strong girls often of extraor-
binary beauty form the great bulk of this
departing crowd. On Thursday week we
Witnessed no less than four hundred such
preparing to take their departure in the Ed.
inburgh, Capt. Kennedy, one of the vessels
Of the Liverpool, New York and Philadelphia
line. A runner had spread shortly before the
| arrival Of the ship that certain number
would be excluded for want Of accommod
ton, and the despair evinced by those who
| thought themselves shut out was as great az
If they were told they bad Loaf every hope.
| Whea the tenders came to bear away the pas
sengers, there was afrantic rush even on the
part OF those whose places were secured, as ii
| they fancied that some unluoky interpretation
would shut them out. The news that all
could be taken was received as il some pre-.
cious gifts had been showered among them y

Palermo Captured Ky Garabaldi.


The Prince Albert, with English dates to
the 26th May, arrived at st. Johns on the
5eh.
LATEST M TKLEcRAPH.--London, Nav o5.
The Sicilian news 10 mengre and conflict
ing. Ii is reported, and some authorities as
sert correctly, that Garabaldi had entered
Palermo with 5000 infantry and cavalry,
and that the Neapolitans were laying down
their arms. Ii was also stated that Cara
baldi had issued stirring proclamation,
stating he assumed professionally the Dicta-
torship Of Sicily. He was received with the
greatest enthusiasm at Palermo. The news
lacks reliable confirmation, and some regard
1T as premature.
There was great panic at Messins among
the authorities there.
Official Neapolitan dispatches Of the 22nd
and 23d May, assert that the insurgents we're
beaten twice, driven from their positions and
pursued, and that one OF their leaders, Ros-
selina Puto, was Killed.
The proceedings 10 the House OF Commons
indicate that the Government will bc unable
to carry the Reform Bill through this session,
and they will virtually determine to abandon
it.
