A Carolinian Call to ssWalk mp to the
Captains Office aud Settlc.',

The Charleston papers insert in con-
spicuous place an official advertisement,
calling on the people to lend the State
s675,OO for its military defense. The
appeal that has thus been kept before the
public for a fortnight does not seem to
have been literally responded to, for in
the last papers the advertisement is put
in new form, with display type, and
with fresh and more urgent requests for
the citizens to come forward with the
money. Here is the closing part of the
new advertisement:
"The purpose of this loan presents an
appeal to the patriotism of the people,
which must secure its being promptly
taken up. Ii is needless to enlarge on
the momentous consequences dependent
on the prompt completion of the loan
Apart from considerations Of patriotism,
the bonds present the most advantageous
investment of money which can be made.
The interest is large, and the security
superior to any other that can be offered.
The citizens Of Charleston and of the
State are called upon to come forward
promptly and take up the loan"

Secdy Seceders Scrambling for Office.
Whether or no it be true that black
sheep are greedier than white ones, is
still subject of dispute. But the wild
scramble now going on at Montgomery
for every phantom Office created by his
Dictatorship Davis. shows conclusively
that the lust for Office down there has al
ready attained development that dwin-
dies into insigniicance even the greed OF
the hungry hordes which now besiege
Washington. Great numbers of office
seekers have focked to the new capital
within the last month from South Caro-
lima, Georgia. and Louisiana. But, un-
fortunately, there are found to be far
more applicants for places or spare cash
and the disappointed tire-eaters wander
about the muddy streets Of the village,
careworn. disconsolate and mad.

A Satirical sketch.

The Atlantic Monthly for January has
a humorous and satirical article on Wash.
ington City, which closes in this wise :
1.-The list Of unique prodigies of
Washington is without limit. But mar
wells heaped together cease to be marvel
Gus, and OF all places in the world, a mu-
scum is the most tiresome. So, amid the
whirl and roar Of winter life in Wash
ington, when one has no time to read,
write or think, and scarcely time to eat,
drink and sleep, when the days fly like
hours, and the brain reels under the ex-
element of the protracted debauch. life
becomes an intolerable bore Yet the
place has an intense fascination for those
who suffer most acutely from the tedium
vitr, to which every one is more or less
prey and men and women who have
lived in Washington are seldom content
ed elsewhere. The moths return to the
flaming candle until they are all con-
sumed.
In conclusion, il must be admitted that
Washington is the elysium of oddities,
the limbo of absurdities, an embroglio oi
ludicrous anomalies. Planned on scale
of surprising grandeur. its architectural
execution is almost contemplate. Bless
ed with the name of the purest of men,
il has the reputation of Sodom. The
seat of the making power, il is the
centre Of violence and disorder which
disturb the peace and harmony of the
whole republic-the chosen resort for
dueling. clandes,ine marriages and the
most stupendous thefts.

OVER THE WAY.

Gone in her childish purity
Out from her golden day;
Fa ding away in the light SO sweet.
Where the silver stars and the sunbcams meet
Paving path for her silent feet,
Over the silent way.
Over her bosom tenderly
The pearl white hands are prest ;
The lashes lie on her cheeks SO thin
Where the softest blush Of the rose hath been
Shutting the blue of her eyes within
The pure lids closed in rest.
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twineth her sunny hair;
She was so fragile that love sent down
From his heavenly gems that soft bright crown
To shade her brow with its waves SO brown,
Light as the dimpling air.
Gone to sleep, with the tender smile
Froze on her silent lips
BY the farewell kiss of her dewv breath,
Cold in the clasp of her angel Death
Like the last fair bud of a fading wreath,
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Robbin-hushed in your downy bed
Over the swinging bough--
Do you miss her voice from your glad duet,
When the dew in the heart of the rose is set,
Ill It's velvet lips with the essence wet
In orient crimson glow
Rosebud-under your shady leaf
Hid from the sunny day
Do you miss the glance Of the eye so bright,
Whose blue was Heaven in your timid sight,
1t is beaming how in the world Of light,
Over the starry way.
Hearts-where the darling's head hatl
lain,
Held by loves shining ray
Do you know that the touch OF her gentle hanG
Doth brighten the harp in the unk nown land
o, she waits for us with the angel band
Over the starry way.
