The author Of the MiH on the Fyoss, thus
does justice 10 winter-time.
The old Christmas, with the snowy hair aud
ruddy face, bad done his duty that year in
. the noblest fashion, and had set off his rich
gifts of warmth and color with all the hight
ening contrast Of frost and snow.
Snow lay on the croft and river bank in
undulations softer than the limits Of Infancy, I,
it lay with the neatliest- finished border on
every sloping roof making the dark-red ga
bles stand out with a new depth of color; il
weighed heavily on the laurels and fir-trees,
till il fell from them with O shuddering
sound; It clothed the rough turnip-field
with whiteness, and made the sheep look
like dark blotches: the gates were all
blocked up with the slOping drifts, and here
and there disregarded four.footed beast
stood as if petriied "in unTecumbent sad
ness; there was no CLEAN, no shadow, for
the heavens, too, were one still, pale cloud
no sound or motion in any thing but the
dark river that flowed and moaned like an
UnrestiDg sorrow.
But old Christmas smiled as he laid his
cruel. seeming spell on the outdoor world,
for he meant to light up home with new
brightness, to deepen all the richness of in
door color, and give keener edge ofdelight
to the warm fragrance of food he meant to
prepare sweet imprisonment that would
strengthen the primitive fellowship of kin
dred, and make the sunshine of familiar hu-
man faces as welcome as the hidden day
star. His kindness fell but hardly on the
homeless-fell but hardly on the homes
where the hearth was not very warm, and
where the food had little fragrance; where
the human faces had no sunshine in them,
but rather the leaden, black-eyed gaze of un-
expectant want. But the fine old season
meant well and if be has not learned the Sc
cIet how to bless men impartially, it is be-
cause his father, Time, with ever. unrelenting
purpose, still hides that secret in his own
mighty, slow-beating heart.

An Extreme Southern journal on Coop
Grafton and Secession.

An Extreme Southern Journal on COs0ps
eratiOn and Secession.
. The New Orleans Crescent, of late date,
says:
We trust that we shall now hear no more
of co. cooperation of compromise, of any thing
that admits of delay. Before corporation
can be brought about, this question will have
been finally and forever settled. The right
of State to secede, whether by herself or
in company with others, is about to be SUBJ
mitted, by the direction of the Administra-
ton, to the arbitTament of the sword. South
Carolina is to be coerced-or, rather, vain
effort to coerce her is to be nlade-before the
other States will have the opportunity of
asserting their own political independence.
Thus, then, the States that are in the U MON
will have to stand silently by, and see the
attempt made to crush out sister State by
the Federal Government. They will be una
bic, as long as they are in the Union to ex-
tend official aid to their struggling sister.
They will be unable, indeed, to assert their
own sovereignty to the extent Of repelling
the Federal invader from their own soil, if
he should make it the path to the field of
battle with South Carolina.
In view Of this policy of this Administra-
tion, it becomes of the utmost Importance
that every other Southern State follow the
course which South Carolina has pursued,
and retire from the Union at the earliest
possible moment. The peril is not so immi-
nent; but there are hundreds of other con-
siderations appealing to the justice, the
magnauimity, and the honor of the Southern
States, which require that we act at once
promptly, decsively-we may say, Sehantly.
Let all thought of cooperation now be
buried in oblivion. We must cooperate
only to save South Carolina from the
degradation of being approached by armed
Federal saries-and to do this we must
make haste to get out of the Union, under
the flag of which this raid upon a sovereign
State is to be conducted. Cooperation is
delay, and delay is death. We want no
such course to be pursued by the State of
Louisiana. If she has no sympathy with the
cause Of South Carolina, and the cause of
the South, let her say so in outright and
downright language. But if she accepts the
issue now rendered by the Federal Govern
ment, every day of delay, whether for CO.
operation or any thing else, is fraught with
incalculable mischief and disaster.

An abstract of this message will be found
in our dispatches. Governor Letcher is
gosded by the gymnastics of Governor Wise,
who keeps himself before the people, making
bombastical disunion speeches, organizing
Ninute-mep, proposing a State Convention
to take the State Government back into the
hands Of the people, and PEI forming the most
wonderful extravagapzas, until Governor
Leteher, though hating the whole Wise tribe
is driven into competition with their folly.
If il were not for this, the Governor would
DO well, but as it is, he is not himself and
should not be held to strict accountability.
Some Of his recommendations and declara
tons are as crazy as any thing Gov. Wise
can do.

IT was announced, under some difficulties,

q vital question to Cincinnati, that great
cities never existed on the borders of nations.
Tue moral s, that if the Ohio River becomes

This philosophical discovery is about as
profound as the remark of another sayan,
that it was striking evidence of the goodness
and forethought of Providence, that great
cities were almost invariably provided with
naVigable rivers and good harbors.
It IS not to be supposed that the existence
Of Cincinnati is going to stand in the way of
philosophy, nor that the philosopher is to
he deprived of the triumph of sitting on its
ruins, smiling as in scorD," as he contem-
plates the result of his prophetical wisdom.
Philosophy is philosophy, and logic is logic
while cities and empires are things Of a day.
But this must be more of philosophical
than historical fact unless all the borders
Of nations upon the sea are thrown out of
the account, for great commercial cities
have usually had a decided tendency in that
direction.
But it will be seen that the Ohio River is
to be abandoned in case the North fails to
pay the South Consideration for remaining
in the Union. This follows as matter OF
course, for river transportation implies com
modities transported, and commodities trans
ported imply ports for their collection and
trsnshipment, and these ports can not choose
but be commercial places. So. proper re-
speet for philosophy will require, in case the
North is not willing to pay the pric'

Union continue, and in case the South car

APARIsIAN PLAYING IN ESGLIsH.-Fetcher,
a French actor Of some repute in Paris, has
created lately qHite a sensation in London,
by making his appearance at the Princess's
Theater in an English version Of RHy Bias;
then a slight accent. HIS voice, when ex-
cited, is rich and musical, each movement
grace, every look artistic. But, according
to the correspondent of an American coten-
porary, he lacks the greatest charms Of per-
feet aeting-genius and natural feeling.
You admire the acting, but you can never,
even in the most exciting scenes of the play,
artistic excellence of all he does, but you see
too plainly that all is studied, all done for
this OF that particular effect. The critics
have spoken laYorably of him, and he is
likely to prove good card. The novelty OF
a Frenchman performing in English Is, in it.

agent of the Rothschids and he no doubt, simply
advanced the money to pay for the tobacco, holding
it in his own name as security for the advance-the
real owners, doubtless, being parties in France or
Germany. Belmont however, is citizen of New

Cry ELECTIoN--The time is very nearly at hand
when people will have to elect city officers for
the ensuing municipal year; bui, as yet they have
manifested no interest, whatever, in the natter
z The war, we know, naturally occupies the atten-
ton of our people, almost to the exclusion of every
thing else; and while it is right that we should
feel thedeepest interest in that, yet we should not
lose sight, altogether of other important concerns
The election of city officers is a very important
matter, particularly in view of the extended mon
e.ary interests Of the city, resulting from its in
yestments in railroads and bridges, in the past few
years. Our credit, as city, ought in times like
these to be watched and guarded more jealousy
than ever, since if maintained now, by prompt
payment Of interest and other obligations as they
become due, it will be of ncaculabe benefit to us,
in enterprises that may, and doubtless WILL be I'M
dertakeu, when the return of peace shall give a
new impulse to our progress
Other matters than this need attention, and
among them we may mention our Fire department.
Notwithstanding the large sums expended here,
for our protection against fire, we have been for
long time, and yet we believe, almost, if not
= altogether at the mercy of flames, that may burst
out at any moment
We mention these things merely to draw public
attention, for ltle while at least to the interests
OF the city.
The election will come off to-morrow-a-week
the 9th of October, that being the first Saturday
Gin the month. Col. George Smith, the present in
cumbcnt, announces himself in this issue of our
paper as candidate for reelection as Mayor, and
is, we believe, the only candidate, so far for that
4 corder.

in the science of geology. The disposition of the
objects and the coloring in this painting are very

of vegetable life in it is wonderful. The same we
