DEATH OF POE.


FIRST harp of thrilling numbers,
Reused me gently from my slumbers,
And its tone
Der my waking spirit stealing,
Kindled up sspirit feeling,
In its music sweet revealing
Heavens own.
Then being, pure and holy,
Through door retiring slowly,
Half disclosed
To my smile enraptured vision,
Those eternal fields Elysian,
Where the blest in full fruition
There reposed.
Then being, fairer, brighter,
Something smaller, something lighter,
And with raiment purer, whittier,
Came in view
Then her face was here averted,
Gazing back from whence she started
Twas my lost, my loving hearted,
Well knew.
For moment then she fingers,
And the beautiful white fingers
OF Lenore!
Swept across the harp SO shining
Which the angel left reclining
'Gainst the door.
Then as if some word receiving,
Half in doubt, yet half believing,
Gazed around
And at once she saw and knew me,
And at once she came unto me
With bound.
Oh the rapture of that meeting,
OF that blessed spirit greeting,
Is to mortals all unknown;
They can never,
Till they pass the deep dark river.
Which divides this world forever,
From our own.
Comprehend how hearts once blighted,
In a world Of sin benighted,
Are for ever reunited
On the shore
OF that river brightly glowing,
From eternal fountains flowing,
Where the tree of life is growing,
Evermore.

An Example for Duelists.

Alpnonse harr, among the Wlttlest

OF man who would neither decline a
duel nor fight.

lives, B. challenged A, but most de.
voutly trusted that A. would not fight.
Nothing of the kind, A. was quite

"Yes." a

"Well, ! wanted to put you up at
fifteen, but AS. second would not
agree to it. SO yielded the point"
"Ah, you yielded that point. / am
fully determined, however, that they
shall not have another point yielded.
"Well, no, that can hardly be even
asked for, seeing that everything is
arranged. and it only remains now TO

"Oh, but there may be a point in

The swallow from her distant cline,
The honey-bse from drowsy cells.

TALK ON 'oHANGE.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE %, 1860.

There were some few gatherings yesterday at
some of the most noted corners of rue Carondelet
There was no desire for long talk or arguments,
and many OF the frequenters or habitues concluded
to retire at an early hour and call it half day.
Since our last talk later advices from Europe have
been received, brought by the steamer Europa ar
rived at Halifax up to and including the 10th inst
the full weeks details. The sales of cotton for
the week were $4,000 bales; not quite equal to the
average consumption, say 81 900 bales per week.
The stock in Liverpool on the 18th instant was Of
all kinds, 1886 900 bales. We must go back fifteen
years, say the year 1915, to find any such quantity
on hand. On the first of August that year {1s45)
the stock on hand was ,0G3. 900 bales with con.
sumption Of 81 900 bales per week.
As an offset to the very depressing accounts
brought by the Europa, the private letters receiv
ed by the previous steamer say "It is evident that
at the present rate OF consumption, at least 000-
000 bales cotton will be required for the next crop
1000, 900 bales would be short crop, and $500, \
600 bales a famine crop; SO the prospects for the
present growing crop will be watched with great
INTEREST,"
But never mind the foreign news, though the
Great Eastern was reported to be off New York
yesterday morning. We have had some heavy
showers Of rain since Tuesday morning, which have
been Of more service than dozen steamships ar
rivals from California loaded with gold dust. The
rains have extended far and near, SO far as heard
from. The change in the wind since Monday last
mas caused the waters in Lakes Pontchartiain and
Borgne to rise, and the resumption of daily inter-
course with the sea-shore suburbs is expected.
The travelling on the lakes at this moment is light,
very light There are very few visitors at the pro-
minent hotels On the sea coast. The talk is that
there is too much snobbism among our citizens !:
they go Northward; for what purpose it ii hard to
divine. Many 80 on business, but many more 20
because it is g fashionable Possibly some of our
rnoneyed institutions might in degree check ii, Nv
giving what is termed in financial parlance few
turns of the screw.
Some Of the cotton operators are giving rather
gloomy details Of the purchases and shipments
hence this last spring is following the LIST of
March-those that have returned to England from
here. The charges on cotton in Liverpool are en-
ormous. Twenty-Five cents per bale for 2s days
storage is now exacted. This exceeds any charges

The receipts of cotton at alisthe seaports up to
dates annexed font nm f,Ilnxrs
New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1860-06-29
The receipts OF cotton at allthe seaports UP 70
dates annexed foot up as follows:


we are now arriving at something approaching
conclusiyeness regarding the crop of 1858. The
stocks at the interior towns are dwindling down
towards $4,000 bales, excluding the stock at Hous
ton, Texas, on the goth inst, say 796s bales. AT
Selma, Ala, on the Goth there were lT3s bales
Assuming the overland shipments-say from Mem
phis, Nashville and Eicksbnrg-t be 40 900 bales
we have at light 4,6ls,G00 bales but we cannot
expect much over $4,000 bales of the inland shin.
ments to reach the Atlantic seaports.
The receipts and shipments at Cincinnatifor the
season up to the goth inst were as follows to which
we added the figures of last year:
sRseceips. 1880 s3a58
shipments, 4II.3 BH3I2
How many bales Of the rs 1863 received at Gin
einnati have been forwarded to the seaports cannot
now be aseertained unless there are free receipts
of the new crop before the making up of the yearly
table ofreceipts 1t is very doubtful if the receipts
or crop will reach i,G0a,0OD bales. However, it is
useless to talk any more for the present. But
when circular writers inform their friends and cor.
respondents on the other side of the Atlantic that
the maximum, or full producing powers of the
United States have been attained, and placing
these powers at the figures of 500 900 to 400 900
bales, it will be that they have misulged the
cotton producing capacities of the great South and
Southwest of these United States As for the
grand Cotton Supply Association of Manchester,
and its petty subscriptions of five and ten pounds
we can reiterate the remarks Of some of our old
cotton planters, that they do not care a conti-
mental dollar for all the Cotton Supply Associa-
tions in Chfistendom."

A New Eldoratlo, PerhaDs.

From the San Antonio Herald of the 22d we ex-
tract the following rumor of fresh gold discoy-
cries:
We learn that several letters arrived here yestel.
day by the San Antonio and San Diego mail line
giving confused accounts of the discovery OF
enormous deposits of gold in the mountain region
about one hundred and fifty miles beyond Ell Paso
and near the old copper and silver mines of Santa
Rita, We have seen but one letter on the subject
and as that was written from Ell Paso, the writer
could only state things upon hearsay 1t was
from Mr.. Piel, to the editors of the Zeitnng Of
this city.
Mr.. P. says that all the loose population of Il,
Paso were off for the diggings, and that the little
villages, and even the stage stations along the mai
route, were being abandoned by the inhabitants
who were rushing en- masse to the mines. He does
not state the character of the new diggings, and
we cannot learn anything about them that we could
advise our readers to receive as reliable informa
tion on the subject. Santa Rita is an old Pueblo
town, of small dimensions, situated in q poor cour
try, about forty or fifty miles from the Overland
mail route, and just within the territorial limits Of
New Mexico.
The great mountain chain in which the Pike's
Peak and old New Mexico mines are situated ex
tends down to the vicinity of the locality of the al
legged discoveries, and a new Eldorado may have
been found.
The mail will put us in possession of reliable in
formation in few days, and in the meantime we
advise our friends to keep cool, and wait to see
whatwill turn up. II the gold is there, San Anto.
nio will get large share of the benefit of it.
