"We know when moons shall Wane,
When summer birds from far shall cross the sea,
When Autumns hue shall tnlge the golden grain;
But who shall teach Us when to look for thee?

Comes forth to whisper where the yioets lie ?
IS it when roses in paths grow pale
They have one season--all are ours to dieH'

tl0nate heart.
"Oh Lord, God, why was she oer our own?
Why is she not eur own--our treasure still
We could have passed our heavy years along,
Alas is this to bow to thy will?
Forgive, forgive; should full hearts break;
The broken heart thou wilt not, Lord, despise;
All thou art 100 gracious to forsake,
Though thy strong hand heavily chastise,"

Col. Geo. Baylor.

Col Geo. Baylor has been winning q
golden reputation in this canvass. Proba-
bly, his most significant triumph was over
our friend Col. j. W Massie, the Breclzin-
ridge 'Elector, achieved at Highland Court
on Thursday week last 1t is said by those
who heard the discussion, to have been the
most complete and triumphant and absolute
demolition that has been Witnessed during
the canvass The cold wheel horse" out
did himself, and with bold, defiant and suo-
cessful attempt, did he "oarry the war into
Africa We merely allude to this discus
sion editorially, directing the readers atten-
ten to communication Of "Mountaineer'
in to-days paper. Old Augusta is proud Of
George Baylor-a champion Of her cause
who, like Numa, comes from the aoclusion
and delights Of his heartIsstone and horne,
to strike a blow for his. country and her
dearest interests, when danger approaches
No blatant politician, craving the uotes Of
the people, but pure, homospun patriot,
that seeks the conflict where Right is pitted
against Error TO do duty, without reference
to reward. OF such men we have a right
to be proud.

October 10, 1860. {

Naf. Yost II went to Court on yester-
day to hear Col. Massie, the Breckenridge
Secession and disunion Elector Speaker, be
having been advertised for that purpose
sometime in advance. | did not dream Of
a discussion, the Breclzs having had it their
own way the whole canvass, but | was most
agreeably disappointed, for the National De-
mocracy had a champion in the person Of
Col Geo. Baylor Of Augusta, man who
had met Stuart, Baldwin and Niche in
their best days-after good deal of side
playing en- the part ofMr. Ms friends the
terms Of discussion were arranged, Col.
Massie leading off in one hour, Col B. fol-
lowing in one hour, and Col. NJ. rejoining
in three quarters of an hour, and Col B.
closing in an half hour. Col. Ms speech Of
an hour was the same speech [ heard him
make at Staunton the Billy Dutton anec-
.aote. and all the latter part Of it was dead
drag, he faii;rg entirely to meet the issue
between the two wings Of the Democracy;
but in Gel. BIS reply he carried the war
into Africa, and made the Courthouse ring
with his oft repeated onsiaughs upon TIE Sc
cessionists. Mr.. Ms speech was received with
a few faint plaudits. but Col. B's was recel-
we'd with continual shouts from the audience.
Then come Col. M. in his three quarters Of
an hour speech which failed to meet the inn
pregnablo position Of AIr. d. He abused
MIR. Douglas DO little, and lauded Mr.. Yam
cey. Col. y. III his half hour speech mad e
the most overwhelming speech ever heard,
he didn't leave g grease spot of Mr.. NJ -
We of Highland will long remember the LIST
of October 1860, as a great triumphal dav
for the National Democracy. Col. 3. charg
I'd upon Mr. Yancey gross attempt to de-
eievc the people, for he in Virginia had de-
nounced Judge Douglas as traitor, and in
New York he is actually advocating the fu-
sion with this traitor Oh shame where
is thy blush! Not think upon Mr.. Yam
cuv and his followers. We are in high
spair;ss and will give good account Of our
Lives On the 9th of November. Good bye,
and God speoa you in the good cause.

SIoop Lucinda, Of Rockaway, L. r.. and was

from gross neglect on his part, and subse-

similar that Of the u AZ. johnson, and in
the mar presents she same features. They
were both oyster 9essels,l bound for Virginia
for oysters; the captains and crews Of both,
