THE DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE.

Tears, idle tears! | know not what they mean
Tears from the depth of some divine despair,
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy Autumn fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more
Fresh as the first beam gttering on sail
That brings our friends up from the underworld;
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the verge;
So sad, SO fresh, the days that are no more
All, sad and strange in dark summer dawns
The earliest pipe of half-awakened birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The easement slowing grows glimmering square;
So sad, so strange, the days that are no more.
Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned
On lips that are for others; deep as love,
Deep as first love, and wild withsall regret,
D Death in Life. the days that are 10 more

The New York Herald and its Editors
The Impending Crisis Written in ths

The New York correspondent of the
Mobile Register. makes the following re-
markable statements with regard TO the
New York Herald:
"Young Bennett is now the principal as
sistant editor of his father. He conducts
the editorial department. when his father is
rot in town, and writes well. For a long
time, young Bennett gave no token Of edi-
torinl talent, but all that changed. He has
been for year IN the editorial room every
day, (when in town, and either wrote or
dictated the principal editorials. He has
more talent than his father, though net the
experience. There is no person in the u
nited States that has received such an edu-
cation as young Bennett. He has spent
years in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain
lie was at school in all those countries;
consequently he speaks, writes and reads
all those languages with the correctness el
native. When he is q, "a few day.
hence his father intends to change the
head Of the Herald, so as TO have il read
james G. Bennett s Son, Editors and
Proprieters.' When the old gentleman
dies, then The heading will be changed back
TO The single ]. G. B., as the son has the
same name as the father. The Hrzi4 has
some very extraordinary men engaged upon
i. The principal editorial writer, is The
celebrated DR.. Jones, who is the real su.
lhcr Of the Impending Crisis of the South,
BY Helper. That book was compiled by
DR.. Jones, in the Herald Office, from fScis
and statements That have been a,tested by
Mr.. Bennett. Helper may have assisted
the Doctor. As 4 proof of this, ls! me call
your attention 10 the fact that nothing Of
any consequence was said about the bOol;,
until few dyas before the meeting of Con
gress; then the Herald opened upon it, re-
publishing extracts and abusing it editori
ally, day after day, until members Of Con-
grsss engaged in The discussion, and the
fortune of Dr.. Jones, Helper and Blrlick,
the publisher, is secured"

From this statement ii viii be seen that,
besides all The money required for the pur-
chase Of the property, there remains SUR
plus of 500, coo, which will be good nu-
cleus for the sinking fund necessary to keep
Mount Vernon il repair, and preserve
from decay the hcrne Of Washington. Or
this point Miss Cunningham says:
Practical men whom have consulted or
this subject estimate tia! j! will require
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually 10 esver
the expenses which must be incurred If
Mount Vernon is to be kept in repair, and
provided with force sufficient to protee,
and preserve the house and grounds in Sc
curity and coed order worthy their future
national position OF this sum the annual
receipt from visitors mar furnish 81 800 To
$4,000, although those Of the past year
only amounted 10 $l,228 So; but the re-
mainder cannot be safely relied on except
from principal invested SO as TO yield the
requisite interest. The safely Of invest
ment, as a general rule, IS in inverse ratio
to lucrative interest. II we estimate at 6
per cent, it would require principal Of
from $125,0O0 to $4,000. As we have
$20, 900 in possession, we are already in Z
position 10 meet one of our Obiigations-t6
restore Mount Vernon to what it was il.
its palmy dOys.
Thus it will be seen that sum Of $780,
900 more as capital, wOuld perpetliate for
ages the existence Of the Mount Vernon
buildings. The ladies have so far done no.
bly,, and they now appeal TO the country
once more to assist them in this final effort;

To the Friends Of the Union.

Mr.. EDIToR: Professed politicians have
well nigh distracted the councils of our na-
ton.
Nullifcation, secession, revolution and
disunion have become familiar words
throughout the land.
Distorted views Of our holy Christianity
have been promulgated and marshaled into
party service 10 further aims Of unscrupu-
lous demagogues,
/ Policy has become the lratchwory and is
the handspring of the mighty host Of would
be leaders that now infest the high places
Of Government. Not that policy which
looks TO the genera! good, and is sought in
sound principle and wise administration, but
that false, perverted and dangerous policy
that cares Cor nau,ht save personal, party,
or sectional triumph.
o tcmpora! 0 morss!
How long shall these things be? Can
there not be found at this junctu7es Of az
fairs, some mastcr-spirit, some hero-patriot
who shall be able, by wise councils and a
firm andssindependent direction Of The helm
of State, 10 subdue..t these discordant elements
ere they burst forth into civil war and na
tional ruin? TO whose support all lovers
of the Union may rally without being called
upon 10 bury any cherished artipathy, 10
compromise any political principle. One
whose past career opens no vulnerable
points Of party completely, of unhallowed
ambition, or Of time-serving policy. One,
of whose wisdom and patriotism in life
spent IN the service Of God and humanity is
The surest evidence. Surely that Provi-
dence which once inspired PATRICK Hem
RY with fitting eloqnence, that called into
active service the powers Of WASuISCToN
and JACKSON, and that filed CLAY with
the noble spirit of self-immolation for our
country's veal, has not abandoned US in
this, our day Of imminent peril. But with
clear vision, unobscured by the tangle web
of innumerable political weavers. to discov-
er the men indicatee by Providence for the
times is difficult; and yet, after caraful,
earnest survey of passing events, we have
been forced 10 the conclusion that there is
but one who seems prc-eminently qualified
to fill the post. That is-EDWARD EV-
ERE TT, the good and the great.
We therefore solicl. st your hands, and
through your press, the candid pressnta-
ton of his merits, his ability, his clear rec
ord, his moral courage as recently evinced
in stemming the torrent Of Northern fanati-
eism, and his consequent availability.
We have selected your paper as the
first medium of publication, because of its
wide circulation, and its able contributions,
and hope to see its columns inmortalized by
