JEFFERSON DAVIS TO TAKE THE
FiELp-MR. STEPHENS TO ASSUME
THE PRESIDEACY.-We take the fol-
lowing from the Montgomery Adver-
tiser, of the 18th. This journal is
said to be the organ of the govern
ment at Montgomery, and its infor-
nation is, therefore, in all probability,
correct:
Vice President Stephens arrived
in the city on Monday night, and it is
authoritatively understood that he
is to assume the administration
Of the government while Presi-
dent Davis is to take the field as
Commander-in-Chiet of the army of
the South, proposing to make Rich
mond his headquarters in the event Of
the secession of Virginia.

And his negro companion.
To Maine, now is gone.
No warriors around him,
But Seward is there,
To whisper to Abraham,
That Beaurcgurdc IS near

To mend Thy old ways.

Or beware %. Bcaurcgnrde.
Then fly now, poor splitter,
To some desolute spot,
Where Douglas is near thee,
And JEFF Davis NOT;
For surely hen scatter
Thy hopes now so sweet,
So give up the White House
And let JEFF take his seat. =. NJ

4 Mothers Memories.

Two twining buds their tendrils claspc,
Around mothers heart;
Two loving little bosom. beat,
In unison apart.
Two loving fsttle spirits checred
The fansiiy circle dear;
Two loving little voices made
Sweet music to the ear.
Tw, pair Of little pattcring feet,
That roved from room to room;
Two pair Of loving little hands.
Now claspcd within the tomb.
Two little empty chairs, once flied,
Beside the family bonrd:
Alas! they're but mcuentocs now,
OF gems in Heaven stored
