We learn that considerable dissatisfaction existed
in portions of Williamson county, in consequence Of
the apparent inconsistency in the various calls for
troops and the late PROCLAMATION of the Governor.
On Saturday last, however, meeting of the SIND
Regiment, commanded by Col. SrANBRUFE, was held.
for the purpose of complying with the requisition
for detail of the militia. Hon. ". Il. s. HILL
Senator from Williamson, being present. was loudly
called for and in clear, impressive and eloquent
manner, explained the causes Of tie various calls
and the pressing necessity for the last requstiOD
for troops, which entirely satisfied the patriotic
members of that regiment, and Col STANBRrFF con-
cluded to postpone the detail for few days, and
it is now confidently believed, that in the
interim, the quots Of volunteers from that
Regiment will be raised and thus dis
pense with the necessity for detail of the
militia there Mr.. ". a. DAVIS and Gas. EDNoNN
srON are raising cavalry company from the Regi-
ment, and on Saturday number of men were
sworn in. The entire complement CT this company,
it is now certain, will be made up. We understand
that good feeling and entire satisfaction with the
necessary proclamation Of the Governor, were re-
stored by tie able and timely address of Colonel
HnL who exerted himself, with lsudable patriots
ism to prevent dissensOn in this critical emergency

An old rag-picker died in Paris, in state
of the most abject poverty. His only rela-
tiOn was q niece, who lived as servant
with green grocer. The girl always as
sisted her uncle, as far as her slender means
would permit. When she learned of his
death, which took place suddenly, she was
on the point Of marriage with q jOurneyman
baker, to whom she had long been attached,
The nuptial day was fixed, but Susette had
not yet bought her wedding clothes. She
hastened TO tell her lover that their mar
riage must be deferred, as She wanted the
price of her bridal finery to lay her uncle
decently in the grave. Her mistress ridi-
culed the idea, and eXhorted her to leave
the old man to be buried by charity. Su-
settle refused, and the consequence was a
quarrel, in which the young woman lost her
place aud her lover, who sided with her
mistress She hastened TO the miserable
garret, where her uncle had expired, and
by the sacrifice not only Of her savings for
the wedding attire, but of all her slender
wardrobe, she had the old man decently in-
terred. Her pious task fulfilled, she sat
alone in her uncle's room, weeping bitterly
when the master of the iaithless lover, a
young, good-looking man, entered.
$50, my good Susette, find you have
lost your place." said he, "I am come to Of
fer you one for life-will you marry me?"
81, sir' exclaimed Susette, "you must be
joking"
"No, faith, l want wife, and I'm sure |
can't find a better"
"But every one would laugh at you for
marrying poor girl like me-"
30, If that is your only objection, we shall
soon get over it; come, come along, my
mother is prepared to receive you"
Susette hesitated no longer, but she wish
ed to take with her memorial of her de-
ceased uncle; II was cat that he had had
for many years. The old man was so fond
of the animal that he determined that even
her death should not separate them, for he
had the cat stuffed aud placed on the tester
of his bed. AS Susette took puss down, she
uttered an exclamation OF surprise at find
ing her so heavy. The lover FASTENED to
open the animal, when out fell shower of
gold. A thousand gold napoleOns were
concealed in the body of the cat and this
sum, which the old miser had starved him.
self to amass, became the just reward of the
noble girl and her disinterested lover, thus
proving the truth of the adage-"It's an i'll
wind that blows nobody any good"

O thou delicious Spring.
Nursed in the lap Of thin ana subtle ,,,. showers,
which fall from clouds that lift their snowy wing
From odorous beds Of lght-enioded ho"ers,
And from emassed bowers,
That over grassy walks their greenness ding,
Come, gentle Spring.
Thou lover Of young wind,
That cometh from the invisibte upper sea
beneath the sky, which cloufs, its white foam bind,
And, settling In the trees delciously,
Makes young leaves dance with glee,
Even In the teeth Of that old sober hind
Winter unkind,
Come TO us; for thou art
Like the fine love Of children, gentle Spring.
Touching the sacred feeling of the heart
Or like aWiSgin'a pleasant welcomingj
And thou dost ever bring
A tide Of gentle but resistless art
Upon the heart.
Red Autumn from the south
Contends with thee alas! what NAV he showr
What are his purple-staned and rosy mouth,
And Drowned cheeks, to thy soft feet OF snow,
And timd, pleasant glow
Giving earth piercing flowers their PCiEsd growth
And greenest YOUTH
Gay summer conquers thee;
And yet he has no beauty such as thiae;
What Is his eVer-streamng fiery sea,
To tho pure glory that with thee doth sinner
What may his dali and lifebess ninstrelsy
Compare with theei
Come, 1T upon the lGls
And bid the waking streams leap down their side,
Andgreen the wales with their sight.sounding rils
And when the stars upon the sky shall glide,
And crescent Dian rides
TOO win breathe Of thy delicious thrills;
On grassy hiAs.
Alasl bright Spring, not long
Shall enjoy thy pleasant influence;
For thou shalt die the summer heat among,
Sublimed TO vapor In his fire intense,
And, gone forever hence,
Exist no moro: more TO earth belong,
Except in song
So who sing shall die:
Worn unto death, perchance, by care and sorrow;
And fainting thus with an unconscious sigh,
Bid unto this poor body good morrow,
Which now sometimes borrow,
And breathe Of joyance keener and more high

The YOUNG MEN OF THE ARMY.-The
Evangelist speaks a good word for our young
men in the field. 1t says:
The community has an interest in them.
Many will doubtless return again to their
former place of residence, and prove to be
virtuous or vicious citizens according to their
experience in the camp. A little thoughtful
ness for them now may prevent their return
ing to demoralize society hereafter Why,
them would it not be good idea in every
town or village which has sent out compa-
ny, to appoint committee to keep up cor
respondence with some member of ii, and
through him furnish them with suitable read
ing, and in this way lead them to feel that
their former friends and neighbors are still
interested in their welfare and conduct p
Would it not tend to make them, not only
better men, but braver soldiers? And would
it not more than pay for the time and money
it would cost to carry out such plan! We
ask the friends of soldiers to think of this,
and see what they can do to make the sug-
gestion practical and efficient. A word TO

can fail to see
" Providence accompishes its purposes so
as to hide pride from man while making him
its agent Often good men aim at certain
end by good means, and after busily plying
their appropriate machinery, 10 Providence
comes forth and accomplishes their object by
means and agents they had never dreamed of;
and though they see clearly that they have
not acted in vain, they cannot take the credit
of the issue Who would have thought that
the harmless firing on Fort Sumter would ac-
complish in an hour what the arguments, and

eyes Yet IL Is according to the analogies

means that man would choose or devise, but
throug n commo,iops, ddoiiuges flames, pest
lcnces, earthquakes, even wars, often civil
wars, in which tribe is against tribe, family
against family, and father against son; and
strange to say, the Gospel Of peace, the Sa-
vior Of peace, whom angels heralded with the
chorus, Peace on earth and goodwill to
men, is the cause of these wars. 1t demands
purity before peace, and thus perpotuates
and invigorates the great conflict that has
ever been in the world between good and
evil"
