POOR LOGAN.

A cruel threat Of the Chicago Journal.
that if EIr. Congressional Logan does not
behave himself better. Henry H. BlOdgett
of Waukegan, will send to Washington to
regulate the member from the TX. recalls
an incident which occurred in our Legisla-
ture some years ago.
A bill to repeal the Black Laws was pen.
ding. BlOdgctt had made speech in fa'
vor Of the bill, to which Logan made re-
ply. Logan was then an unmarried man,
and much Of a gallant at the Capital He
had very dark skin for a white man
The galleries were crowded with ladies'
Logan rose. advanced from his seat to
position commanding a view of the galleries,
and pOmpously began his speech about.
thus:
Before proceeding to consider this bill
upon the merits, wish to ask the honOra-
Die member from Lake a few questions
and in the first place l ask if he Is in favor
Of the mixture Of the two races by mar

laughter. Poor Logan put no morn ques-

We have endeavOred to keep in view
throughout the year the missionary part
of the work to be performed. We trust
that the good which has been accomplished
is not measured solely by dollars and cents.
The word Of God has been circulated among
many destitute households. who have given
expression to the liveliest emotions of joy /;
and both local and county agents have found
abundant opportunities for presenting the
claims of this Blessed Word upon the in
dividual conscience.
The "Childrens' Billie Fond" has re-
ceived some attention during the year, and
is serving useful purpose in enlisting our
youth in this noble causs.
The plan of semi-annual meetings has
been introduced during the year into the
workings of our branch Societies. and is
found useful in serving to keep up an in
terest in them, and render them more self-
sustaining.
About SIX hundred pastors representing
eight or ten different denominations, have
cordially co-operated with Us, and to them
we feel much indebted for the success that
has crowned the cause.
In the work of supplying special at
tcntion has been bestowed upon places of
public resort Many of our criminal and
humane institutions, hotels, vessels and
rail road stations have been thoroughly
supplied with substantially bound copies
of the Bible.
We desire to return our sincere thanks
to the numerous friends who have 50 cheer
fully cO-orerated with Us in cur efforts to
promote the cause, dor would We forget to
acknowledge the blessing of God upon
them or to implOrs the continuance of His
favor for the year to come.

Through the dark night, unseen, in noiseless
showers.
The mamma eame to hungering men of old;
They woke to weep, but found the morning
hours,
Filled with the plenty, that their eyes be
held.
So, times have Geen. when the long night Of
Error
Hung Ger world. in wretchedness grown
numb;
And tyrant Wrong Awed with his voice of ter
ror,
And held the nations, all entraneed and
dumb;
Till cen the strong and true in heart grew
fearful,
In weary waiting for the promise given;
And cen prophetic eyes, grown dim and tear
full,
In their long watch, scarce noticed that from
heaven,
All through the night, the sOnening dews were
stealing,
Ger the psrchcd souls of men. until the
morn
In triumph broke above their hills, revealing
The peace and plenty, that at night was
born.
And so, who knows, o fearful friend and broth
Although Oppression triumphs o'er our land,
And darkness veil it, but there is another,
A fairer morn of Liberty at hand.
And believe it, though mems hearts are weary,
Waiting to see the hoped for dawn appear;
For, floating downward, through the shadows
dreary,
Some sounds of waking, 1 have seemed to
hear.
For rinioned Freedom, lifting from his slum-
bers,
Hath shaken his fetters, till their parting
chime
Hath rounded into music's glorious numbers,
Starting the nation with it's peal sublime.
Yes believe it-that those echoes flying,
Shall speed, until the toll worn millions hear.
In hut and field, and, reused to replying.
Give joyful back their wakening hymn OF
cheer.
Yes. believe it-they, who with each other,
To night are striving. in the morn shall see,
And in each foeman. own friend and brother;
And the enslav'd shall from his bonds gofree.
And wrong shall vanish andthescales of blind
ness,
oae Lord and Savior shall they then adore,
And deeply drinking of his loving kindness,
Creeds, titles, color, shall divide no more.
Yes believe it; for the silent showers
OF Truth are falling to renew tie earth,
That all an hungcred. in the morning hours,
May wake to gather without stint os dearth.

BY LIBgIE s. cRowELL.

Dend. and the heart is aching So
With its dark, and deep'ning sense Of woe.
With an agony too many know.
Dead-and the sunlight of erst so fair.
Grows dim and cold in the misty air.
And shadows are gathering every where.
Shadows so long and so dark and drear,
We turn away with many a tear,
To think of the one that left them here.
Dead-what q crowd Of memories wake
In the thro5bing heart. until it will ache,
And each trembling heartssring almost break,
With the bitter crushing thoughts which come,
OF the long ago-when loved one
Was bitterly missed in an earthly home.
Dead-and think of the hands we elAsp'd
A little way back in the shsdOwy past,
They're folded now. and the spirit has passed
Has passed the river whose surging waves,
This shore and fairer one e'er laves,
And found that rest which the spirit Graves.
But think Of mother who far away,
In a southern home, is longing each day
For the light of an eye whose tender ray
Was dearer to her than the soft sunshine.
And voice more sweet to her, than the chime
OF Eolian harps in the summer time.
o, the love which mother will gladly bestow
On an only child. ye only know,
Who have felt the same deep mystic glow.
And We only know the untold pain,
Which fills that heart 10 know 'tis vain
To long for the lost one back again.
She came to our home, cousin fair,
Leaving mothers guardian care,
When the earth last snil'd meath the sweet
spring air.
She left it agaiH. when the richer bloom
Of summer was shedding its perfume
Meath the softly bending skies Of June.
Left it, to join a holier band
To clasp not mothers, but fathers hand
On the shining shore of the better Land.
Sad indeed might that mothers heart be,
Were it not for an eye Of faith to see
That happier home from sorrow e'er free.
Life is pilgrimage. sad and dresr,
And those who earliest reach the bier,

South CARoLINA.-The Legislature has
adopted resolution that South Carolina
owes it to her own citizens to protect them
and their property from every enemy, and
that for the purpose Of military preparation
for any emergency, the sum Of 500, 900 be
appropriated. The Senate also adopted
resolution that while still deferring 70 her
Southern sisters, the State respectfully an
nounces to them, that in her judgment, tho
safety and honor Of the SlaVeholding States
imperatively demand a speedy separation
from the Free-soil States Of the Confedera-
cy, and earnestly invites and urges her sis
ter States of the South to originate the
movement Of Southern separation, 10 which
she pledges herself promptly to unite.
TExAs.-The repulse of the maraudsrs,
who have beleaguered Brownsville for 3
month past, appears to have amounted 10
an utter rOut. On the l4th Of December,
300 United States troops marched to at
tack Cortinas, and obtained decided cd.
vantage, notwithstanding they had ineau-
tiously permitted themselves to be drawn
into an ambuscade in the earlier part Of tho
fray. On the Goth, the battle was re-
sumed, and after severe struggle, the IN
surgents were defeated and put to fight
The latest accounts left the victOrs in hoe
pursuit.
New MExIoO.-The New Mexican mail
as received at st. Louis reports the ronia
extremely unsafe, the Indians attaching
nearly all the passing trains. The lateSs
Overland Mail had only got through Win
a heavy military escort. The Navajo In
dians are again hostile, having killed one
man and wounded Others, who went 70
trade with them. The outgoing mall
which left Independence on the 10th Dec,
was attacked by the Indians beyoRd the
Arkansas river. An escort was with ihe
mail, and the Indians were repulscd. None
Of the mail party we're hurt.

TERRroRIAL FINANCES The published
report Of the Territorial Treasurer shows
that there was a surplus Of $l,50s 90 in
the treasury on the LIST day Of January
last The expenses of the Territory were
less than the amount thus on hand, or, but
81, ,415 o.. The tax for territorial pur-
poses last year was but 25 cents on the
thousand dollars I; yet even at this low tax
alton, we are nearly in tho same predica-
ment that Oncs was the national treasury
in the last year of Mr.. PIERcE's admins
tratiOn. when $50, 900, 900 lay trusting, /"
as it was termed by the wings of that day,
and their only study and perplexity aP-
peared to 10 to devise some means to re-
lieve it, We hope noue will tax their wits
to relieve ours. A little cash on hand is a
very convenient thing.
The treasury Of Oregon is also in an
about equally prosperous condition. From
an advertisement in the Statesman Of late
date, we perceive that her treasurer has
called in outstanding orders, saying there
are ample funds on hand to pay all.
How is 1t that whilst little territories and
young states are comparatively wealthy, the
older and wealthier states-yea, even the
golden state Of California-are groauing
under taxation to realize sufficient 10 pay
the Interest on their respective state debts
To all but politicians it will probably ap
pear as mysterious.

about II o'clock A. NJ, the ball aud bill
lard saloon of Mr.. c., A. SEARS, situated
on Main street, and within the largest and
most densely populated blocks in the city,
was discovered to be on ERE by Mr.. Nixon,
printer employed in this Office. Owing
to the lateness Of the hour, it was some
time before assistance reached Mr.. N, who
had given the alarm Of FIRE on FIRST making
the discovery. Aware of the certain and
speedy destruction Of this entire block, be
at once burst open the door Of the saloon,
and for some minutes fought solitary and
alone the fast devastating flames. In do
ing so, bis hands have been so severely
burned that he will be unable to work for
some time. Such acts of heroism and self
sacrifice deserves TO be commemorated in q
more substantial manner than an empty
vote Of thanks. Mr.. Nixon has not eenpl
worth Of interest in Olympia, and the own.
ers Of property in the block should present
him with a suitable testimonial of their ap
probation Of his services. But for him
none would now be in the least better of
than himself. Let not true merit 60 unre-
Warded.
The entire cloth ceiling Of the room
which is some 60 feet long, and the paper
of the walls, curtains, &c, were burned
and in many places the woodwork had ia.

half burned through in many places. 1t
was the narrowest escape from on exten-
