Now huehcd-now swelling up with freshene'

Peal upon peal rcsounling Ger the wilds:-
Still ringing soft and clear above the sough
or sad winds signing in the dark pine boush.
So musically sweet Yet to my heart
1t seems, in concert with the woods low sigh,
To breathe that sorrow which his mortal part
Wrung from the friend of sinners" in the cry: :
Alas how thrills mine own in SYMPATHY
"My God my God hast thou forsaken me-
It was not always thus there was timo
When sunny skies looked down upon my lot
When the sweet invocation Of that chime
Drew me with willing worship to that spot
Friends had not then grown cold nor death laid
c!uim
To the sweet partners in my carly fame.
The only link that bound me TO the past =
The only sound which spoke to me of Heaven
And now It's gone. knew it could not last;
That drcam of earthly sweetness which had

Tac Harp that erst held rapture in its flow
Lies erushd by Fatc's inexorablc blew.
Yet blessed Chimes thy prorhet-toncs inspire
Thoughts of that "beter land" where grief is

And Of that tree, whose leaves with swcetniug

Thus to the woes Of life shali peace be given;
And all our weary thoughts dnj rest in Heaven.

Iiessrs. Edttors:--Fro.n tho number of letter
am still receiving from various parts Of the
State, requesting information about the "pledged
Cotton" and Us to- tho manner of remitting al
amounts for Cotton already SOLD. and to be sold,
I have concluded that the card I recently pub
lished on both of these points in your paper could
not have been seen By all parties interested. Will
you, therefore, allow me to. state again that Mr..
Tnos. N. JOHNSON, un experienced Cotton Broker
of this city, with his assistants, will call on al
parties in due time and negotiate with them rs to
the purchase of the Loan Cotton" but will
thank all planters who have already sold, or in
tend selling to Others than the Government, to
remit me tho net proceeds Of sale, either in
draft on one of our City Ganhs, or in Treasury
Notes, without further delay. As soon as as
certain whether they prefer Confederate Bonds Of
Certificates of Stock, (both bearing eight per
cent interest," but tho former payable 10 bearer
and the latter to order,) will have them prepared
md remittcd to the planters. But it is important
that should first receive the rcInittances, for me
orders aro TO give eight por cent interest from the
date of the receipt Of all moneys, and it will be
imrossilic to mike calculation until receive
the amount As .hc Bonds and Certificates OF
Stock are only issued in 1000's 5OO'*, zoos and
sos, should the amounts of sales be uneven, l
will further thank the planters to add on the fruc-
tion, so rs to make it conform with the Issues OF
the above securities. Pressing engagements, in
connection with the duties of my Office, compel
me to adopt this mode of communicating With my
friends in the country.
