ORIGINAL POETRY.
The Orphan.

BY BEATRICE.
Step lightly in the darkened room.
Oh let no sound disturb its gloom
For death is here;
Silent be thy whispers now,
For sorrow marks the orphans brow
See you that tear !
See her kneeiing by the bed,
Her silent tears fall DER the dead;
Hear you that moanf
Now her tears have ceased to flow.
With clasped hands she murmurs low,
I'm all alone"
Sadly sounds the falling clay
That must forever hide away
That last dear friend;
A last sad look, and then 'tis done.
They gather round the weeping one,
And friendship tend.
A year at most-her griefs forgot
By all but her,-the orphans lot
Must ever bear;
She proudly meets each cruel slight,
AS if unkindness had no might
To wake tear. =.
But could we see meath that proud face =,
The grief that on the heart is traced,
BY unlsind words;
Could we hear that longing prayer
For one dear friend to love her here,
That God has heard.
Meth;nks but few would ever aim
To fill the orphans heart with pain:
BY unkind deeds;
Oh! then speak kinda word may cheer
A heart who's lot is hard to bear,-
Yes. hard indeed.

RALEIGH, Dec. 18th, 1860.
Dear Pf0greSs:-l just drop you a line to
say that the joint select committee on Federal
Relations, made a majority and minority re-
port III the House to-day, Zone day earlier than
was anticipated which caused quite Il lively dis
cussion. The majority report Includes a bill pro-
vidlng for the calling of State Convention, the
election Of delegates to be held on the 7th, and
the Convention to meet on the 18th Of Februa-
ry, 1861, and restricts the Convention to the
consideration of such questions only as pertain
to our Federal Relations. The minority report
is adverse to the calling a Convention at this
time, and opposes secession for existing causes
y motion was made to make the report the
special order for January Eth, which was lost
Other propositions in regard 10 the deposition
OF the report, producing some very warm dis
cussion, We're made, when it was finally decided
to make it the special order Of the day for Jan
uary Sd. So the people Of the State Will have
an opportunity OF examining into the measures
proposed in the report and Of giving expression
to their sentiments upon it. There was no
other business Of interest before the House to-
day.
In the Senate a very animated discussion
was gotten up on Mr. Browns proposition to
send commissioners to South Carolina to con-
fer with her in regard to the propriety Of defer
ring action looking to secession until there can
be concert OF action among all the Southern
States. The resolution, together with an
amendment, the reading Of which did not hear
we'll enough to understand, was laid on the ta-
bic and made the special order for tomorrow,
at noon.
As to the news outside of the Capitol I haye
little OF nothing to report Money is getting
alarmingly scarce, and as for that species Of
the circulating medium which iingles in ones
pocket it seems to have almost utterly disap-
peared. 1t is with the utmost difficulty that
one can get change for a two or three dollar
bill IN tie stores, even when spending part of
1t. 1t has all dived to the bottom OF chests
and strong boxes to await more congenial day
for summing itself.

RALEIGH, Dec. 1Ith. 1850.

RALEIGH, Dec 11th, 1850.
Deer Progre8s In the Senate to-day q
brisk debate sprung up on proposition which
originated in the House, to ask the opinion Of
the Supreme Court as to the constitutionality
OF calling State Convention by bare MAORI
ty of each House of the General Assembly, in
which Messrs Dledsoe, Dockery, Bedford
Brown anG others participated. The "old
War Horse" especially, pinned down pretty
tight uIon those democrats who, before the
election. disclaimed secession proclivitie5, but
now have faced about and go for dsunlon.
The same proposition had given rise to a
right smart talk in the House, previously,
aid only passed that branch by majority Of
three It Is the opinion Of many that a bare
majority of the Legislature can call s. Conven-
ton, while others contend that such q move
would be directly in the face Of the express
words ofthe Constitution.
But the most exciting subject Of the session
the report of the Committee on Federal Re-
la.ions-will be broached on Thursday, when, it
is understood, the report will be made. There
will indeed be two repOrts-a majority and a
minority--on both of which extended discus
sion will be induIged. No one can predict the
result.
There has been but little business in the
Legislative line, Of public character, matured
since my last. The Senate bill for an addition
al inspector OF flour, for Wilmington, has
passed the House, and some few bills and reso-
lutions Of q private character are all that can
be named. There have been no important bills
reported on by the committees to which they
have been referred, and therefore the minor
subjects of Legislation creep Oh and off the
calender to make way for subjects OF superior
magnitude.
Raleigh is really very dull today The Par
kers are gone and no one in their lire has sue
ceeded them. The Grand Lodge Of Masons
has adjourned, and the influx Of visitors to it
has receded. The ladies Of the Methodist
Church have a Fair to-day and tomorrow, but
have not visited it yet. No subject for gos-
sip-nothing stirring "to point a moral or
