The BRIDAL VEIL.
BY ALICE CARY.

We're married, they say, and you think you
have won me
WoA take this white veil from my head, and
look on me;
Here's mutte" to vcx you, and matter to grievo
you,
Here doubtt to distru5t you, and faith to be-
liere YOU
am all as you see, common earth, common
dew
Be wary. and mould me to roses, not rue!
All, sh TX, oat tn, iihmy thing, fold n'tnr fold,
And see ifyou have me to keep and to hold -
Look close on my hcart-;ce the worst OF all
its shining
1t is nat yours to day for the ycsterlay'i win
ming
The past is not minc--I am too proud to bor-
row
Ye must 90 to now heights if I love you to-
morrow;
We're married. I'm plighted to hold up your
praises,
As the turf at your feet does its handful of
daiscs;
That way lies my honor--my pathway ofpride,
But, mark you, if grccner grass grow either
side,
/ shall know it, and keep in body with YOU,
Shall walk in my spirit, with feet ON the dew !.
We're married! Oh, pray that our love do not
fall
have wings liattencd down and hidden under
my veil:
They are as subtle rs light--you can never un-
do them,
And spite OF all caspins, and spite Of all bands,
| can Slip like shadow, dream iroin your
hands
Nay, call me not cruel, and fear not to take
me-
am yours for my lifetime to be what you
would make me
To wear my whit veil for sign or n cover,
As yol 81 a b proven my o d ormy lover,
A'coyar IUr y 'aec that Is d ad, or a token
Ofblis: that can never BE- written, or spoken.

like Il thread Of gold, and diamond
ring, were the onl ly ornaments she wore
Yet | had never seen dress | liked so
well. She was tall (too tall, should
have said, had she been any one else !;
for, when we were standing, her head
was almost on level with mino) and
slender, and quick and agile in her
movements. Her brown hair was soft
and pretty, but she wore it carelcssly
pushed away from her forehead; not
arranged with the nicely | should have
expected in city belle. Her features
were irregular, full of life and spirit, but
decidedly plain: her complexion fair,
her mouth rather large, frank and smi-
ling; her eyebrows archcd, as if they
were asking questions; and her eyes
large, and of soft, dark grey, very
pleasant to look into very puzzling,
too, as found afterwards to my cost,
Those eyes were the only beauty she
possessed, and unconSciously made the
most Of them. Had she been CNrmc-
lite nun, she would have talked with
them--ahc could not have helped it.
When they laughed, it seemed their
normal statc--thc bright bcaming glance
they gave but when they darIlcncd

of misgiyng on Alicc's part, when she
sat beside him with hcrbooks or writing

both books and manuscript were put

with her tears falling fast, and she tried
to hush his means, and looked into his
fast glazing cyes-and there was an
hour Of fitness, when she lay OH the
low couch wi,h her arm around his
neck, neither speaking orstiming, And
when the poor creatures last breath
was drawn, She bent over him with Il
passionate burst Of grief kissed the
white spot upon his forehead, and clos

were turned towards hcrwith Il loving

The Pryor and Potter Affair.

The PRYOR and POTTER difficulty is re-
garded as settled, PRYoR's friends refusing
to accept the weapons rendered by POTTER.
The latter resumed his Sc at in the House on
Friday last. The Tribune's Washington
correspondent, writing on the 18th says:
In accepting Mr.. Pryor's challenge, Mr..
Potter wrote to Mr.. Lander, saying, he did
not zee any ground for hostile meeting on
so trifing cause, and he deprecated duell.
ing, but as there was an evident purpose to
pursue him to that extremity, he accepted,
with the bowie knife as the weapon. Hence,
while he deprecated the practice of duelling,
he felt that there was no alternative but to
meet the necessity in the manner proposed.
Mr.. Lander stated this fact to Messrs.
Keitt and ChismaD, when the acceptance
was delivered.
Mr.. Potter also delivered to Col. Lander
a private letter, which, probably, had been
prepared in expectation of such contingen.
cy he recapitulated the causes of the
quarrel, and stated that he regarded the
cause of free speech as attacked in his per.
son, and was determined to vindicate to the
last extremity his own personal rights, as
well as those of his constituents.
The code duello is being made 50 ridicu.
lous, and professed duellists, like PRYOR,
are continually making such egregious asses
of themselves, that we may soon look for a
total abandonment, even in the South, of
this relic of past and barbarous age.

A New Phase in MOrmOnlsm.

According to letter in the New York
Times, from Amboy, Illinois, dated April
6, young JOE SMITH has pronounced in his
own favor as the prophet and leader of the
Mormon Church, taking up his fathers
mantle, and conference of Mormons, held
at that place, have accepted him in that
character. He was installed into Office by
that conference on the 9th of April. They
elected young SMITH President Prophet"
by reclamation, and organized a church,
not dependent upon or subsidiary to that
in Utah, but independent of, and in opposl-
ton to that organization. This has much
the appearance of a church within church,
but probably not during his life time can
Prophet Smith assert his authority over any
large number of Mormons, BRIGHAM YOU'VE,
a man Of strong will having SO long ruled
supreme in the councils of Mormonism.
Nevertheless this movement, however
feeble it may be, is of some moment, and is
entitled to the sympathies Of all persons
who deplore the immoralities which have
sprung and been fostered by BRIGHAM
YOUNG. The new organization takes strong
and decisive ground against polygamy and
the other vices that exist among the Nor
mons Of Utah.

From this table, the following remarka.
BILE facts are educed;
l. All the old and large States of the
Union, without exception, lose ground rela.
lively, and most of them positively.
2. The South loses ground largely; the
new State of Texas, having e.fold the
territory of the old States, and lying west
of the Mississippi, is the only one that
gains.
3. The only part of the Union which
positively gains is the Observation-Disclosures
being properly included in that.
4. The Northwest positively gains Is
Representatives, and Senators in Mime
sofa.
5. The Slave States lose IL Representa-.
tives and gain being positive loss of
7. The Free States gain IA and lose 10
being positive gain of 4, with 4 Senators
in Minnesota and Oregon. The admission
of Kansas and Nebraska, which will speed.
lily happen, will add 2 Representatives and
4 Senators to the same side.
The Times, in subsequent article to that
from which we have quoted, devotes more
particular attention to to the rapid growth,
past and prospective, of the northwest

The Census--Pay Of Deputies.

Quite a rivalry exists among applicants
throughout the western States, for the
Office of deputies under United States
Marshals to take the census of 1860.
The pay Of these deputies, by the law, is
liberal, and will handsomely compensate for
the time and labor required. 1t is fixed at
two cents per head of the population, with
ten cents per mile for all necessary travel, ten
cents for the statistics of each farm, fifteen
cents for each establishment of productive
industry, and two cents for each death re-.
ported. The Marshal is prohibited from
receiving any part of the fees Of the assis-
tants, under a penalty of 81 900 for each
offence. The assistants have five months in
which to perform their duties; and, as the
districts are restricted to population not
exceeding twenty thousand, and, for utility,
may be divided into small areas, ample time
is given for the work to be seasonably and
thoroughly done.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-04-20

the most liberal manner, provided other
arms are suggested. Mr.. Potter authorized
Mr.. Lander to decline any other arms, and
Mr.. Landers to substitute himself for Mr..
Potter, with other weapons, to both of
which propositions, without consulting Mr..
Pryor, Mr.. Chislam replied that the first
was vulgar and inadmissible, and while ap~
preciating Mr.. Lander's zeal for his friend,
they have no cause of quarrel with him, and
consequently no demand to make of him.
mr.. Pryor is still in Virginia, and has
not yet heard of the action of his second in
the matter. The latter is believed to have
acted after consultation with Messrs. Miles,
Keitt, Mason and Hammond.
Mr.. Potter came into the House at half
past one, and was greeted by his friends,
with whom he retired to clerks room.
The above is based on information oh
tanned in Democratic circles. The follow.
ing, in relation to the same correspondence,
is the version in Republican quarters:
It is understood that Mr.. Potter replied
to Mr.. Pryor's first note, that he would
receive any message that might be sent him
in the District. Mr.. Pryor asked him if
he would accept a challenge, to which Mr..
Potter replied that he would inform him
whenever challenge reached him.
Mr.. Pryor then sent him a challenge, to
which Mr.. Potter replied, referring him to
Col. Lander to make the necessary arrange
ments. These terms, as proposed by Col.
Lander to j. E. Chisman, were that Mr..
Potter. though disclaiming allegiance to the
code, would fight Mr.. Pryor in any place,
in doors or out, in the District, with bowie
knives. This was declined, on the ground
that the weapons were barbarous and inhu.
man, and not usual among gentlemen.
To this Col. Lander replied that Mr.. Pot
ter detested the whole system of duelling as
barbarous and inhuman, but being called to
account for the exercise of free speech on
the floor of the House, he consented, not
being accustomed to the usual weapons of
the duellists, to meet him in a way that
would place them on equal terms, and to
name the time, place, and weapons, but as
the weapons named by Mr.. Potter were
objected to, Col. Lander, without Mr.. Pot
ter's knowledge, offered to fight Mr.. Pryor
without restriction as to arms, which was
also declined on the ground that he Pryor
had no quarrel with Lander. The CORES.
pondence between the friends of Mr.. Potter
and Mr.. Pryor did not close till this morn
ing. 1t cannot be published until Mr.. CHS
man, who was Mr.. Pryor's principal friend
can be seen ard his consent obtained.

To ascertain the bearing of these results,
on the House of Representatives, and the
Electoral Colleges, we must refer to the
census act of 1850. By that act the House
of Representatives must consist of 233
members. The whole representative popu,
lation must be divided by this number,
which determines the ratio for each State.
If, when applied to each State, the num-
Der of representatives does not equal 233,
then one additional representative is to be
given to each State having the largest frae'
tlons, till the aggregate is obtained. Ap-
plying this to the several States, and OBJ
tanning the deficiency by taking the largest
fractions, we have the following results, both
for the aggregate, and for the loss and gain
in the several States in representatives

the longitude of the coast of North America,
