For the "News."
THE ANGEL OF SUNSET

The richly tinted chords Of sunset lie,
In massy clouds against the western sky,
Bathing the hill tops in a food Of gold
Oh often to me legends they have told,
Of when the smiling angel of the night,
Came down in raiment spotless, pure, and white,
When God said. let the earth in beauty rise.
And while all fair, and clear, and blue the skies,
Then, at the close of earth's first infant day,
And while the night-bird chanted its first lay,
The angel touched the clouds with brilliant dyes
And spread golden luster Ger the skies.
And now 1 fancy can see his face,
As, with his airy, brightly colored lace,
He decks the clouds in rich and gay attire,
While music sweet is floating from his Tyre,
And then, witha allow, rustling, murmuring sound,
Through those golden wreaths of airy chords he
wound
His upward flight, till hidden from the view,
Within the depths of the deep azure blue.

The Troy Times says that Hon. Eras-
tus Corning has advanced to the Pay
master of the Watervilet Arsenal $780,
900, to pay the hands, who have had no
pay from the government in five months.
Mr.. Corning is the Member of Congress
from the Albany district, and of course a
democrat Yet good many just such
papers as the Times have denounced him
as well as other good democrats, as trail
tors to the government. Where is the re-
publican or bowling abolitionist that
shows so much patriotism and generosity
as Mr.. Corning does in the above act
Such one cannot be found; but on the
other hand there are thousands of the lat
ter class who have fleeced the government
of twice the amt, aud, like Oliver Twist,
still cry for more.

An OFFICER ORDERS HIS OWN ExE

AN OFFICER ORDERS Hrs OWN Exc
cUTIoN.-The New York Commercials
Yorktown correspondent relates tho fol-
lowing: "Last night an officer was shot
by one Of his own men. The officer,
Capt. A. r. Wood, had posted his last
picket and left him with this order:-
Shoot the first man who approaches from
the direction of the rebels without wait
ing to ask for the countersign.' 1t was
quite dark, and the officer left the picket
and lost his way, wandering from our
lines instead Of to them. He soon dis
covered his mistake and turned back
He approached the soldier to whom he
had given the the decisive order. In the
shadow the faithful and quick-sighted
private saw the dark figure stealing to-
ward him; he raised bis piece and shot
his own Captain through the side. The
wound was mortal, and thus it turned out
that the officer had given the orders for
his own execution. Such are the chances
of war. Picket service here is most per-
ilous and, considering that the safety of
the whole army depends on the faithful
ness with which this duty is performed,
one cannot wonder that those delailed'for
it are so ready to execute the commands
of their superiors."

oRIHtNAL BRAAoH--JUBGE BOLTON.
The Court was chiefly occupied yssierda,
iu hearing divorce cases. In the Afternoon
The following parties we're sentenced 70 th,
Ponitentiary:
hn Adams, burglary and larceny; on,
year.
Peter Phillips, assault with intent to com.
NIT raPej seven years. Phillips protested
his innocence of the charge, and declared
that in driving the girl about in the way he
did and taking her to the places he did, he
was only complying with her instructions
to him.
In sentencing him, the Court took occa-
sion to dwell at length upon the convincing
character Of the evidence, and asserted his
entire concurrence in the verdict of the Jury,
which The testimony warranted. He thought
the act Of the defendant had developed
strange state of things in this community.
The power has been given by the Lsgisln-
ture to body (allading to the CounciD IN
this city by which it is their privilege TO
see that proper porsOns only shall be en-
ployed to drive the public conveyances of
tho city, and he thought if ever there was
an occasion for that body TO investigate, and
investigate critically, what is and what will
be the condition OF tbings IN this particular,
it is this time. The affair had also devel-
oped state OF things about that depot
which needed to be Immediately revolution
lied. BE thought the time had arrived,
too, when the propristOrs of the Omnibus
Line should criticize and investigate the
characters of the men whom they would en-
play in driving their cOnveyances. Anoth-
er meter had pressed itself upon his mind,
and that was, that it is the duty of every
railroad company centering here, that per-
mits the tickets of this omnibus line 70 be
sold upon its trains, to guarantee to every |
passenger receiving those tickets, civil, re- |
spectiul and legal treatment from this ON
nibuH line. With regard to the prisoner, the |
evidence had disclosed one fact, that he was
corrupt as his nature could be-so corrupt
that even the harlots--per onB whom the
community looked upon &c lost to ali sensi-
bility of decency or prOpriety, shame or vir-
tue, had spurned him, and refused to become
parties to his designs or listeners to his vul-
garity. BE regretted that tho law had lin
tied his power to seven years.
The Court room was crowded, end upon
The passing of the sentence there was an ef-
Tort to applaud, which was participated in,
however, only by few, the greater num-
Dor being disposed to obey the order of the
Court, SO often repeated during the trial,
hat there be 70 expressions either Of appro-
patton or disspprobetion.

Harris of Mississippi, Davis most intimate

policy. Liberal discretion had however,
been allowed officers of the army, in dis
charge of their duty.
