The news, of which the following is a summary,
was telegraphed to Weaverville on the day fol-

that if the House concurred in the amendment

ously intimated- condition of the country

chances of compromise materially strengthened
Seward had made another great speech, inculca-
ting the idea of union as paramount to party and
all other considerations ;denouncing secession as
revolution, and expressing the opinion that all
difficulties would be amicably settled in all of
which Douglas concurrcd. Mason said Stewards
speech was one of battle and blood, Such~ton
structon Seward Indignantly rcpelled. Great
interest was feltin the Convention to be held at
Washington on the following Monday, as the most
certain means of "a satisfactory settlement of the
present imbroglio-NEw YORK, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, North Carolina Kentucky, Rhode Isl
and and Missouri had appointed delegates to the
peace Convention. Massachusetts and Illinois
were considering the matter r-TuE public mind
was kept in continued state of agitation by ap-
prehcnsion Of a collision at Charleston and Pen

been made. The Administration would do moth

TENSIONS of an attack on Washington had com
pletely exploded. Gen. Scott was before the cX

but that the evidence was not of the strongest
character--Ir was reported that South Carroll

to which the President made no rcply-THE

GEN SHIELDS, the Illinois hero of the Mexican
War, in a recent lecture in Sacramento upon the
Character, Life and Tines OF Gen. Jackson
said:
"Oh, if we could only recall him Gen Jack
SOM now, said The lecturer, from that cold tomb
If God could send him to us for eight years or
even eight months, to be replaced in the Prcsi
DENTAL chair and again to rouse the cry "The
Federal Union it must be preserved" But we
have no such men. In all this wide land, amid
this fever of dissolution You have not only not
one man but not one combination Of men that
can call up and unite the great heart of the
American people,
Here we are, Brccknridge mon, Douglas
men, Bell men or Republicans, scrnmbling after
little places here or there. while the whole ex-
stence of the Union is threatened. They are
fighting about their places upon the floor when
the house is on fire. They are scramblng about
the pantry instead of getting buckets and fire
engines to save the building. They are like the
Legislature of Louisiana, which was wrangng
about door keeper, while the British columns
were marching against New Orleans.

act in this crisis | dare not say-but believe
that at any hazard he would execute the laws,
and let the consequences be what they may.

give you my word that if am called upon to
select an army will leave all such men out Of
my ranks. The man who talks that way thinks
he is a gallant heroic fellow. "Let South
Carolina 90, she is an annoyance anyhowW The

military man in small way, and tell you if
one regiment can rise up in mutiny and be per-
mitted to march out Of the camp, with colors

THE EYE.-Van and forgotten are all the fine
offers of hospitality, if there is no holiday in the
eve. How many inclnations are avowed by the
evc though the lips dissemble! ! How often does
one come from a company in which it may easily
happen he has said nothing that no important
remark has been addressed to him, and yet in
his sympathy with the company, he seems not to
have sense of this fact, for a stream OF light
has been flowing into him and out Of him through
his eyes. AS soon as men are off their cenfers
the eyes show it. There eyes, to be sure, that
give no more admission into the man than blue
berries. There are liquid and deep wells that a
man may fall into there are asking eyes, and
asserting eyes, and prowling eyes, and eyes full
of faith, and some of good ard some of sinister
omen. The power of eyes to charm down insan-
ity or beasts. is a power behind the eyes, that
must be victory achieved in the will before it
can be suggested to the organ but the man at
peace or unity with himself would move through
men and nature, commanding all things by the
eye alone. The reason men do not obey us is,
that they see the mud at the bottom of our eyes.
Whoever looked on the hero would consent to
his will being served he would be obeyed.-
Emerson.

Two brown heads with tossing curls.
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet white and wet with dew.
Two eyes black and two eyes blue
Little girl and boy were they,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They were standing where brook,
Bending like a shepherds S crook,
Flashed its silver, and thick ranks
OF green willows lined the banks;
Half in thought, and halt in play
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They had cheeks like cherries red,
lie was taller most head
She. with arms like wreaths of snow,
Swung basket to and fro,
As she loitered, half in play,
Chattering to Willie Grey.
"Prctty Katie" Willie said,
And there came q dash OF red
THROUGH the provinces of his checks
"Boys are strong, and girls are weak,
And I'll carry, so | will,
Katie's basket up the hill"
Katie answered with laugh,
"You shall carry only haif;"
And then tossing back her curls-
BOYS are weak as we'll as girls )"
Do Won think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed?
Men are only boys grown tall,
Hearts don't change much after all
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey
Stood again beside the brook,
Bending like shepherds crook
Is it strange that Willie said,
While again dash Of red
Crossed the BROWNIES of his checks
al am strong aud you arc weak
Life is but a slippery steep
Hung with shadows cold and deep"
evil you trust me, Katie dcarY
Walk beside me without ieM
May carry, if will,
An your burdens up the hill? ~
"No, but you may carry half"
Said Katie with merry laugh.
Close beside the little brook,
Bending like Shepherds crook,
Washing with its silver hands,
Late and early at the sands,
Is a cottage, whore, to-day,
Katie lives with Willie Grey.
In the porch she sits, and 10!
Swings a basket to and fro,
Vastly different from the one

consequently very valuable in all goods that arc
