we are reminded Of time misspsht, Of OPP
portunities neglected, of energies wasted,
of bcreavements and buried hopesP
Now, for a moment, let us mount the
swiit-wipged car Of Memory, and Journey
back through the avenues Of time. Here
we behold all the hallowed scenes and
forms of other days. Those that are Gin
the quiet church-yard laid" those that
"sleep the sleep that knows no waking,1
all stand forth in Memory's mirror. The
pleasant homes by whose sacred affairs we
have held sweet converse, or listened to
sage counsel that fell like drops of pearl
from venerable lips-the groves beneath
whose shades we have held our jubilees /;
the river through whose waves we have
padded our light Canoes keeping time
with the oars to sweet music that was
breathed from pure hearts. All these
come plainly to view as we sit and muse
DER the past and gone.
But on the memory of past we can dwell
no longer, for
Our thoughts never turn TO the scenes gone by
without the heart throwing its spray 70 the eye.
We turn to the present. Dark is the
picture before us. Civil war stalks through
the land. The earth is crimsoned with
the blood of brave men. Desolation,
ruin, and suffering follows the march of
~contending armies. Fields are laid waste,
and cities and villages RACED to the ground.
In almost every household there is a
mourner, and in almost every heart a va
cant place. The ferryman on the river
Styx has done a heavy freighting business
during the past twelve-month, and troops
of souls are still passing over, going star
ward to foreign countries not laid down.
on any map we know about. 81.
What a happy New Year the morrow
would be to the American people, if
through the gloom and darkness that over
hangs our unhappy country, we could see
by the light of Hope-"th the lone star
beaming ON the barren heath some
faint glimmerings of the return of peace
and happiness. Then, indeed, would
millions of hearts swell with unuttered Joy,
and the birth of the new year be hailed
as the second birth of liberty.

Judge PARsoNs this morning decided
the question raised by the defendants mo.
ton for a change of venue, in favor of the
State. The defendant will therefore be
tried in Montgomery county.
In support Of the motion, the af6dsvits
of twenty-six persons, residents of Mont
gomery county, were fled by defendants
counsel, TO rebut which showing, the
States Attorney procured and filed the at
6davits Of forty-three persons, residents
Of the said county. Upon the issue thus
Joined, between the parties, the Court held
that under that clause Of the statute allow
ing a change of venue in criminal cases,
he could find no decision by which to be
guided, in determining the question raised
by the motion in this case but that in a
civil case decided in Cleveland. (the Ian
guage Of the statute in reference to change
of venue in civil actions being similar to
that governing this ease,) the Court holds
that the testimony to entitle a party to a
change of venue must be clear, positive,
and conclusive that a fair trial cannot be
had, before a Court is justified in interior
ing that in this case there being affidavits
filed by both the parties, the number by
the State being nearly double those Of the
defendant, and all by men of respectable
ty that, therefore, under the ruling of the
Court in the case cited, the testimony was
not of that clear, positive, and conclusive
character which would entitle the defend
ant to the benefit of the statute on which
his motion is founded.

This bold and daring Confederate cav
airy officer, whose dashing exploits com
mand the wonder and admiration of ev-
~erybody, is just now operating in the rear
of BunNsIDE's army, causing no little
trouble to our Generals by his successful
and destructive raids upon their lines of
communication. His name and exploits
are familiar. and the following short bio

uninteresting
General j. f. b Stuart is the sou Of the
late Archibald Stuart, for several years a mem
Der of the House Of Representatives Of the
United States from the district which then EN-
braeed the county of Patrick, in Virginia,
where, re believe, he was born, At a very
early age he gave token of a qniek and active
mind. His father died ten or twelve years
ago. His mother yet lives.
James T. b.. Stuart entered the Military
Academy of West Point in the year 1850.
Among his contemporaries at that institution
were Ambrose p Hill, Henry Heith, George

For the harbor 'HEREroroRE. D"
Mounfully through the l~eafiess branches
of the forest trees comes the winds sad
requiem to the departing year, The heart
OF Old 1862, swelling with the varied
and mighty events of a twelve-month, is
about to throb its last pulsation. The
time is near when the Old and New Year
shall for a moment look each other in the
face, and then divide forever. And as we
watch for the meeting in yonder sky to
exchange their salutation and adieu,
strange and solemn communings come
DER us.
A few hours more and the year 1862
will have gone down into the silent tomb,
and, side by side with the dead years, it
will sleep in the silent repose OF death.
Thus are we admonished of the varying
vicissitudes and decay Of all earthly things,
All is changeable and leeting,
What startling and thrilling lessons
could we read from the mystic stars that
shine in the vaulted heavens. Far along
through the dim ages they have shed the
same mysterious light upon all the years
gone by. Their pensive beams fell upon
the faded revelries of Babylon, the sorce-
ries of old Chaldea, as we'll as upon the
scenes of modern times, Within their
silent keeping they have boarded up the
history of earth-the wrecks of empires,
the fall of kingdoms, and the death Of ma
tons. Year after year has swept away to
frame the scroll of a departed century and
century on century mingled with the dust
of time to rear the fabric of our age age
upon age has fed to fill the measure of the
mighty past. And years, and centuries,
and ages, in their turn, have rendered their
history and their secrets to these glimmcr-
ing orbs above us. One by one the gene
r%stions of the living reach the goal of theiI
existence, and the stars gather in theii
history and shine upon their graves.
As the hours of the Old Year wane, how
many a pulse beats low that bounded mer-
rily at its approach d? Truly it has been
an era of yicissitude and change. To some
it has yielded sfluence for penury to some
exchanged power and place for obscurity,
Many to whom It's presence was the har-
binger of blessings, have been borne away
to the silent mansion Of the dead. Many
have met disappointment in the business
and aims Of life prosperity that glittered
in the prospect, elute6 the grasp. and they
now see before them crushed plans and
blasted hopes.
lIcw much was promised twelve months
pg1 and how little has been done2 Like
the voyager who beats about upon the
ocean amid storms and tempestss the close
Of the year has left many as remote from
the objects Of their destiny as they were al
the beginning. or perhaps remoter still
AS the dying cadence Of the departing
year CRATES harshly and sadly upon our
feelings. and the pallid phsntoms Of thu
past ait speetrally before memory's vision,

will be a feat almost equal to that of Ma

commenced and will most likely continue.
This forced armistice during the muddy
winter season might be of incalculable
benefit to both sections, allowing them the
opportunity for a little reflection, so much
needed, but for the doings of that crazy
Congress whose wool-gathering propensi-
