Under this head, the Charleston Mercury of the
10th inst, contains the following communication /:
THE time is approaching when Fort Sumter will
probably be attacked. Let the assailants remember
that the garrison are, in the main, poor hirelngs
bound to obey the orders Of their superiors, and,
doubtless, not disposed to avoid it That they are
not for the acts Of the President or of the

A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

The following extract is from letter which was
written upon the death Of child: "a

morning; many went yesterday, more to-day, ana
there are dews to be shed for the departures OF TO-
morrow And can it be wondered that pleasant
summer mornings should beguile them into golngF

when the sky is all beauty, and the world ID all
bliss; ere the dews have gone to Heaven or the
stars have gone to God; when the birds are sing
ing, and the cool winds blowing, and the flowers
out that will be shut at noon; and the CLOUDS
that arenever rent in ram, and the shadows mlaid
with crimson lie away to the west
We have sometimes seen little coffin, ike
casket for Jewels, all alone by itself in huge hearse,
melancholy with plumes, and gloomy as frown,
and we have thought, not SO should we accompany
those little way who go in the morning. We
have wondered why they did not take the little cof-
fin into the carriage with them, and lay it gently
upon their laps the sleeper there lued to slumber
without bosom or . cradle. We have wondered
what there was for tears to such golng-'n the
early morning from home to home-like fair, white
doves with downy wings emerging from neither
night and uttering for entrance at the windows OF
Heaven Never yet has there been hand wanting
to take the wanderer in, and shut out the darkness
of the storm.
Upon those little faces. it never seemed to us,
that death could place its great seal there is no
thought of the charnelhouse in those young listen
ers to that invitation. whose acceptance we are
bound not to forbid then should be morning songs
and not signs; fresh flowers and not badges of
mourning; no tears or clouds, but bright dews and

Fold up the white robe; lay aside the forgotten
toy; smooth the little impressed pillow and gently
smile as YOU think of the garment Of the harp Of
gold and of the fair brow within its dadem OF light
smile as you think that no years can make that
memory old. An eternal, guileless child waiting
about the threshold of Paradise for the coming OF
friend from home.
Here the glad lips would culver with anguish 4;
the bright curls grow grizzled and gray the young
heart weary and old. but there, changeless as the
stars, and young as the last new morning.
The poet tells us Of green bough rent by the
tempest from the tree. and swept rudely along the
breast of an angry river. and mother bird with
cries of grief futtering beside it. for her nest and
nestngs were there. Oh! better to be waited
away from Garth. than thus that they should drift
around the world in storm.

The RAILROADS AND THE CRISIS The receipts
of most, if not all, Of the New England Railroads,
(and we presume the same is true of railroads in
other parts of the United States have been seriously
diminished by the effects Of the crisis. Those have
suffered most, whose income arises most largely
from freights connected with manufacturing estab-
ishments. All interests will eventually suffer, and
that seriously unless effectual measures shall be
adopted for the restoration of friendly relations
between the North and the South.
