Lies cold within the while.

Till all my pulses thrill;
But the little foot that never trod,
Obi when will that be still.
All things must suffer change,
However fair before;
And hearts grow cold, and voices strange.
And love IL love no mere;
The old home fire may quench Its CLEANS,
The dearest friends forget;
But The little face that haunts my dreams
Has never altered yeti
1t never smiles, 1t never speaks,
Its calm eyes rest on mine,
And softly round the geotie cheeks
The fair enrls aoat and Irvine.
The placid look IL never stirred
By restlessness or pain:
And yet how often have heard
That wailing cry again.
Sometimes when all are hushsd in sleep,
And awake alone,
feel the tiny fingers creep,
And nestle in my own.

But know tits not there;

and instructive hit at the Emancipation

THE NORTHWEST.

There are many signs that the Yankee States
and Northwestern States will not long hold to-
gether after the establishment Of the Independence
of the Confederate States. And a belief in such
a result is doubtless moving cause in both those
sections for prosecuting the war for subjugatiou
with vigor The North is unwilling to give up
Southern trade, aud the North West desires to
hold to the navigation of the great rivers which
run through the Confederate States.
The Washington Gry Star of The 81 inst gives
an item which Shows that Lincolns late bid to tho
border States and to Europe is having very diff.
ferent effect in the North West from what be pro.
badly anticipated. The following is the para,
graph from the STAR

of Phillips and all Of his kind heard among all
classes, and that threats made against many
Abolition members of Congress, that if they show
themselves before the people in the West, they
will fare worse than Wendell Phillips did. This
feeling he reports, is based on the popular repug-
nance to negro equality" toward which the Aboli-

BRAVERY AND MoDEsTY.

1t is undeniaDle that true courage and modesty
almost invariably go hand in hand. The official
report of Capt John Ii. Morgan of one of his
scouting expeditions beyond Murfreesboro,' Tenn,
which we published some days ago, affords strik-
ing illustration Of this. In that report Capt Nor
gan after recounting what had been accomplished
by his little command, says
''Returning alone in the direction of Murfrees
boro,' encountered picket of six men, who sur
rendered to me on being summoned, and delivered
up their arms"
The Atlanta Confederacy gives the following
statement of the affair as it actually occurred:
While the brave Captain is SO modest in an
nouucing the successful accomplishment of one OF
the most daring deeds OF the war, we must, for
the benefit Of history and the pleasure of our rea-
ders, tell of the affair it actually occurred.
After having taken 90 prisoners near Nashville
with his rs men, Capt Morgan started them back
in three different Getachments. While subse-
quenty returning alone with the intention Of over
taking them, as he was crossing the pike he OBJ
served some distance in advance Federal officer.
Accostng country man who was approaching
him from that direction, Captain Morgan ascer-
tanned that the Yankee was Lieut. Burns, with
picket of five men, who at the time in
house at the ride Of the road. Instantly forming
his purpose, Capt. Morgan loosened his reyolvers,
buttoned his Federal overcoat so to conceal bis
own uniform, and gailoped up to the picket.
GLOW are matters, Lieut.. Burns?" said Cap
tain Morgan, addressing the Yankee officer
"All right, Colonel" responded Burns.
"Where are your men?' asked Morgan.
"In the house there, replied Burns.
"Nice way ofattending to your duty, sir. Con-
slider yourself under arrest and hand me your sword
and pistol" said Capt Morgan.
His order was promptly obeyed, and Capt. Nor
gan then directed Burns to call out his men sing
ly. After requiring them to hand him their sabres
and guns, he ordered them to march.
"We are going the wrong direction, Colonel"
said Burns after they had started.
"No It's all right. I Captain Morgan"
said the brave partisan to his now thoroughly
frightened captives.
At this jupcture Capt Morgan was joined by
one of his men, Mr.. spaulding, who had with him
four of the prisoners taken earlier in the day. AZ
ter marching all night they safely reached their
command with the ten prisoners.
All this but goes to show what can be accom-
plished by a daring, courageous, yet prudent and
discreet man We should have Morgan, with
his band, to cut off and destroy supplies, burn
bridges, tear up roads, and harass, annoy, and
cripple the vile Hessan invaders on every mile
of road between the Confederate lines and the
Ohio river. -

FROM ROANOKE IsLAND.-Ten free negroes
recently reached Perquimans county from Roanoke
Island, who report that the Federals are fortify-
ing the latter place, and that they say they intend
to make it as strong Fortress Monroe.
These negroes were furnished with passes for
the purpose of visiting their families aud inducing
them to return with them. They say, however,
now that they have reached home, that no inducs-
Iuent could cause them TO go back again to their
would-be masters.
The experience they have already had among
The Yankees, has satisfied them that it is a mis-
fortune of the direst character to fall into their
hands; and they state that, though worked ex-
cessively, they receive but scaney allowance Of

EXTORTIoNERs AND SPECULAToRs.-We have
to believe that speculation in the necessa-
res of life is still carried on in this place by sew
eral persons. They have and are still boarding up
large quantities of -four and bacon, and refusing
to accommodate those who are in want We have
no hesitation whatever in saying this should not
be allowed as we honestly believe it is highly
detrimental to the best interests of our country
Before it is too late to prevent damage, something
should be done by those who have authority to do
to put stop to such unholy business. No
christian should engage in it, and patriotism ought
to prevent every man from following such low
down business. 1t may do for the greedy Yankee
who makes his living by the misfortunes of others
and swiDdlins, but for Southern protesting
loyalty, it is too disrcputable, and people may well
doubt his loyalty to country in this her time of
trial.
We very respectfully call the attention of the
authorities Of the State to this great evil If they
do not by the strong of the law put stop to
it, the people will, and then who tell where
the vengeance of an outraged people will stop

This Indian country is, in many respects, really
magnificent one. 1t is one of the brightest aud
fairest spots of the great West. BY the hand of
nature it has been blessed with advantages III great
profusion and Of the highest and character.

other mineral treasures, and broad reaching plains

climate generally mild and genial, and soil un-

growth of cotton, hemp, and all kinds of grain, 1t
is certainly the equal naturally of the most favored
lands on this continent, and oply needs the devel-
