BY H.AIDEE.

The soft and balmy air to-dsy,
Blows from a tlowery strand:
The skies are bright above us,
And smile upon this land:
And though full oft the russet leaf
Descends upon the gale,
And whirls in eddying gusts along
The browning grassy vale-
Still yet the blushing queenly rose
Unfolds its petals fair,
And breathes its transient life away,
In sw eetness on the air.
And vet DER all this lovclincSs.
There hangs gloomy pail,
Like blackcning clouds at sunset,
When evening shadows fall:
For still upon the>Nortborn gale
Is heard the cti,lnon'S boom.
Aud many Il gallant soldier,
Lies in his clay cold tomb.
Yes, those we loved so dearly
Are sleeping far away,
With still hands folded mcckly-
Beneath the cold, cold clav.
The sky so bright above us
The blooming of the flowers
Seem oft to chidc and mock us.
These sad and lonely hours.
They're gone from town and country
They're gone from hill and dale
Yes, gone from home and tireside,
Gone! gone: repeats the gale.
The mothers heart is weary,
The father often sighs,
Tears like the pearly dewdrops,
CLEAN in the maiden's eyes.
The one she loves so tondlv,
Is in the mighty strife
To purchase Southern liberty
Though dearly bought with life.
Then vail ye Autumn beezcs,
Above the fading flowers,
For we are very lonely:
These long and dreary hours
The church pews now are vacant.
Where once sat those we love-
But now perhaps they're blending,
Their songs with those above.
O Thou who rules in heaven;
Who rides upon the storm,
That guides the Lightning flashes;
Shield those we love from harm
Roll back the clouds of sorrow
That gather DER the land;
And may the sun of liberty,
Soon beam upon the band
Of brothers. now in armor
For rights we hold most DEAR
And vanq,ish Thou the invader,
And teach us not to fear.

Secession in Georgia and virffinia.

MILLEDGEvILLE, Jan. 10.
The ordinance declaring the secession of
Georgia from the United States, passed the
state convention this evening, yeas, 2O8,
nays, 80. The convention has been in ses.
sion nearly ten days. Benjamin Hill intro.
duced a substitute for the ordinance of Sc
cession, but it was lost Subsequently he
voted for the ordinance, declaring as he did
so, that as Georgia had determined for Sc.
cession be would share her fate, for veal or
woe. Judge Luther Stephens said that
while he approved of the ordinance, he saw
no reason for its adoption now he there
fore would not vote for it or sign it. A
motion to postpone the operation of the Or
dinance until the third of March, was lost
by about thirty majority. A. H. Stephens
and II. V. johnson are among those who
voted against the ordinance. A resolution
was adopted to continue the preseut postal
and revenue system until it shall be ordered
otherwise. Also to continue all the federal
officers as state offices. The ordinance of
secession was ordered to be engrossed and
to be signed. Adjourned at noon.
Universal demonstrations of appreciation
are being made here tonight in honor of
the adoption of the ordinance of secession,
including firing cannon, letting off sky
rockets, burning of torches, and speeches.
RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 19.
In the Senate, the consideration of the
report on federal relations, contemplating
q National convention, was resumed. The
second resolution of the report was amended
by appointing John Tyler, VIM. G. Rives,
John W. Brockemrough, George w. Som
mers, and Jas. A. Seddon, Commissioners
to Washington, on the 4th of February, to
meet the Commissioners from other States.
The 6fth resolution was amended by
modifying Crittenden's proposition, so
as to give additional protection and Sc
curity to slave property. The sixth resolu-
tion was amended by appointing John Tyler
Commissioner to Washington, to wait on
the President of the United States; and
Judge N. Robertson Commissioner to
South Carolina and the other seeding
states, to request them to abstain from all
hostile acts during the pendency of proceed
ings. The report was then passed. Mr..
Brace offered the following resolution
RESOLVED, That if all efforts to reconcile the
differences between the two sections of the
country shall have prove abortive, then every
consideration of honor and of integrity de-
mands that Virginia shall. unite her destinies
with her sister slaveholding states.
Mr.. Seddon offered resolution, stating
that no reconstruction of the Union can be
permanent, which will not secure to each
section sclf-protective power against any
invasion by the federal Union upon the
reserved rights of the states. Adopted.

About $500 was in Illinois and Wisconsin

tion, and such suspension shall commence
ten days thereafter; during the suspension
it shall not be lawful for any vessel except
such as belong to the United States to en-.

The mail shall not be opened in a rebellious
state, and it is further provided that the
President shall have power to use the armv

The consideration of the bill was then
postponed till Thursday week and the
House resumed the consideration of the
report of the Committee of Thirty-Three.
Mr. Clemens believed, before God, that
slavery would be cruci6ed if this unhappy
controversy ends in the dissolution. If not
cruci6ed, it will have the death rattle in
its throat. 1t remained to be seen whether
treason can be carried on. There was
brave and holy minority in the slave states.
Lazarus is not dead, but sleepeth. He asked
no fayors for the south, but demanded that
justice, only, that springs from honest
magnanimity. He believed there yet fingers
patriotism which will save the country.
whose glory belongs to us all. Will YOU
be appealed to to step forward in a spirit
which made our fathers illustrious, and not
shut out every access to sympathy. Mr..
Clemens showed that the law Of population
governed the question of slavery in the ter
rltorles. 1t was population and capital the
south wanted, not territory. He showed
the object of the southern confederacy was
to open the African slave srade. The south
out of the Union will never be able to Sc
cure so much territory as he could hold in
his hand. 1t was reported that the south
were sending commissioners to Europe to
effect an alliance against their brothers in
language and lineage. If the south would
take the constitution of the United States
as provisional government, the cotton
states will have legislative power over the
border states, which will be bound hand and
foot to policy as oppressive as they ever
were under our constitution, intensified fifty
times.
Several gentlemen moved that Mr.. Glenn.
ems have leave to continue his remarks be-
yond the hour for debate.
Mr.. Martin, of Virginia, excitedly ex-
pressed the hope that the member would
not be allowed to continue his traitorous
remarks.
Much confusion ensued, which soon sub.
sided.
Mr.. Washburne, of Wisconsin, advocated
the minority report from the Committee of
Thirty.three, made by himself. He was
opposed to giving slavery guarantee in
the constitution, and to the admission of
New Mexico. Adjourned.

Local Affair s.

The NEW LAKE NEAR FoRr RIPLEY
We published short time since an account
from the pen of the Rev. Mr.. Gear, Chaplain
at Fort Ripley, of the discovery Of new
lake in that vicinity. A subsequent letter
from that gentleman to G. w. Woolley,
Esq, contained map Of the lake and a
further description of its surroundings, from
which we learn that the whole country be,
tween the lakes and the rivers is covered
with dense, dark forest, almost impervious
to the rays of the sun. Mr.. Gear counted
on his way to the lake, fourteen different
kinds of timber, besides the underground.
The soil in many places is very rich. The
fine trees are of wonderful diameter, though
not OF extraordinary heigth. In some spots
the timber was 30 thick, that "glint of
sunshine" could not have penetrated, and in
passing through the gothic arches formed
by the interlockiDg and interlacing of the
branches of trees, he IVES reminded of the
tunnels through the Allegheny mountains
the shade was so dark and sombre.
Wild beasts of various kinds are said to
inhabit this district. and among them wolves,
bears, and moose, and other species of deer.
The tracks of all these animals have been seen
on the shores of the lake, nearest to the Fort.
The Indians say, the strait which connects
the lakes never freezes. and contains won.
derful quality of fish. Father Gear says "if
the country is not thrown into convulsions
by fanatics, enthusiasts, traitors, and politi.
cal gamblers, we hope to explore this district
more thoroughly next spring and summer"
