They little thOughi, that day Of pain,
When launched, the Tghtning's Hssh,
They babe me to destruction dash,
That one day should come sgan, ....
With twice FIVE thousand horse, to thank
The Count for his unsouFteous ride:
They played me then bitter prank
When, with the wild horse for my guide,
They bound me to his fosmins flank.
At length played them one as frank,
For time at last sets all things even
AAd il we do bot watch the hour,
There yet human power
Which could evads, If unfOrgven,
The patient watch and vigil long
Ofhim who treasures up wrong.

TRADE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH
The N. 7. Times publishes the most conclu-
sive evidence that no abatement has taken
place in the trade of that city with the South.
That journal gives the statements of leading
importing merchants, as well as the officers
and directors of the steam and other transport.
alton lines between New York and other South
ern cities 1t seems that their business is
rather on the increase than otherwise and
where any falling off has taken place, it is
clearly traceable to causes having no connec-
tion with the slavery agitation. The mer-
chants say that the retail dealers of the South
may, in obedience to public sentiment, 90 to
Richmond, Charleston, and other Southern
cities, for their supplies; but that the whole
sale dealers in those places will still go to New
York for the goods which they sell to the ira
,ders of the interior 1t seems that the South
ern wholesale merchants buy directly of the
Northern importers, while the retailers buy OF
the Jabbers, or middlemen. The effect of the
change in the mode of doing business viii
therefore he to curtail the business Of the New
York iobbers, but not that of the importers
and to increase the business Of the Southern
cities with the interior. This is all very well
We shall rejoice TO see it take place; but
Southern trade built upon political excitement
will have but sandy foundation.

NEBRAsKA.-The Democratic Governor
ri Nebraska has, was expected, vetoed the
bill passed by the Legislature, for the exclusion
ssf slavery from the Territory. This is "leaving
tht, people perfectly free to form and regulate
tbeir domestic institutions in thsir own way"
with vengeance. Well there is consolation
g. the reflection that Mr.. Black has given q
Sever to the Republicans which will enable
Them to overturn the politics of the State, and
1 brow the Democracy on their backs.

Democracy used to mean submission TO the
viii of the majority, peacefully and constitu.
1ionaily declared through the ballotbox
democracy now means the destruction Of
the Government and the horrors of civil war
in case the soi-disam Democratic party is
beaten at the polls.
"Tbe difference between these two kinds o.
Democracy is well illustrated by the rejection
of Union Democrat, like Gen. Dix, as Min
lister to France, and the appointment to thai
important Office of Disuniouist aud Revolu

CAPTAIN MEIes.-It is said that Captain
Meigs, the able Superintendent of the Aqueduct
and other public works, was week or two ago
ordered by the Secretary of War to the Tortugas,
or some other out-ofthe-waF place, but that
Jefferson Davis, hearing of the move, went to
the President and protested against it in such
a style that it was given up. There are those
who believe that the reputation of the Admin
istration for integrity would not suffer by the
removal of Captain Meigs out of the reach of
Investigating committees.

The work combines many excellences. For a
comparatively small price, it furnishes to the
subscriber music Of the best kind, many Of the

songs is of special value. The patron will
there find the delicious compositions of Abt,

The SPARTAN BAND.-The fact came out
during the discussions of Thursday last, that
some forty disunionists in the House of Repre-
sentatives have banded themselves together,
like the forty thieves, in a written or sworn
pledge to resist the organization of the House
by the Republican party under the plurality
rule. If the Republicans had entered into
such an ageement, every Southern press would
ring with the charge of treason aud, indeed,
we see no difference between open treason and
this covert attempt to destroy the Government.
Speakers have twice been elected by the plu-
rality rule, and no onesuntil now thought of
denying its constitutionality.

we are constrained to postpone the admirable

the great length Of the able speech of Mr.. Doc

compels us to lay that of Mr.. S. over until next
week. The effect of this speech has been great
ly to strengthen Mr.. Sherman in the confidence
Of his friends, and to command the respect of

nifty which he has displayed amid the storm
which has ragged around him are qualities
which peculiarly fit him for the post of Speaker.

of small amount, and confined almost eNclu-

almost indispensable part of the stock of every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city to
the crOss-rOad stand. Like all changes in trade,
however, this one has not been produced except for
the best of reasons. Among these the great
saving of material by cutting a large quantity of
garments together-the superior work and speed OF
sewing machines ia manufacturing-th great saw
ing Of time in waiting for your ''turn" at the Tai
lor's-the uncertainty of even then getting satis

Onebdtf the cost of the garment in the price For
II number of years this has ouly been part of our
general Dry Goods business, but have made
arrangements to devote whole house eAclu-
sively to it alone with such lines of Notions and
Furnishing Goods will be necessary and desirable
in that trade. Belle wing that the true interest OF
the trade will be to sustain in this enterprise
