Twilight Thoughts.

The twinkling stars, from the azured sky,
Shine softly down tonight,
While the tanning south wind passes by
With gentle sweet delight;
The silvery moon with her shining hue
Casts soft and mellow ray,
And about the woodlands it doth strew
Phantom visions wild and grey.
The melody of the gentle breeze,
Like strains of the ancient muse,
As it echoes through the forest trees,
Its rarest notes difuse;
Its tuneful melody rich, and clear,
Is waited slowly along,
And the sound falls on the listening ear
Like a sweet TIE Deum song.
The sparkling river flows long its bed,
And the twilights cleaning ray
IL brooding now DER the mountains head
In the distance far away;
And nature DER the earth has thrown
silence, soft and still,
And the day in dusky night has grown
Now resting ON the hill.
And within the church yard, old and grey,
Where the moss vine flowers grow,
Where the gentle zephyrs often play,
And their whispers, soft and low,
Float along on the still night air,
And requium doth play,
Where blooming roses, fresh and fair,
Speak of friends long passed away.

On THE DEATH OF GEO. H. HAY, WHO DIED AT
HAVANA.
He died from home-far in distant land
From those he loved. he laid him down to sleep;
Earth's scenes DER, but faith uplifs her hand,
And points above-he would not have weep.
The loved must die-the brother dear has gone,
The son confiding and the friend SO true;
IT'S but before, for we are hastning on,
And soon will meet him, and our love renew.
Safe DER life's ocean, mid the bowling blast
He shaped his course, nor bowed him to the gale;
Gods light was seen--his harbor gained at last,
No more through tempests must his bark now sail.

Tfsfe United States Elections.

The csiange against Lincoln is very great and
doubtless is very disqnieting to him. So anx
ious was he as TO the result. that he betook bim
self to the telegraph office in the War Depart
ment to receive the returns piecemeal. The
story which came TO him from the SINGLE State
of New York, was that an anti-adminstration
governor was elected; that an anti-administra.
ton Legislature was elected which would put
another man in Preston Kings place as u. s.
Senator; that twenty democrats and eleven ad
ministration men have been elected to Congress
in the place of ten democrats and twenty >three
administration Matchmaking party change in
IA division of the House of no less than twenty
two to his disadvantage. New Jersey spoke in
smaller voice, but to the same purport, and
still more emphatica!ly.
The effect of these elections upon the only
question that interests us will be seen il due
time. Perhaps it would be impoitic to utter
our specuations. The people of the United
States have at least declared by this vote, that
Lincoln is prosecuting the war by wicked and
forbidden means. They afirmed and endorsed
our own charges iu this respect. And it is to
be hoped that returning reason may bring them
TO proper conclusions as to the termination oil
the war, as well as it's civilization.
| Meanwhile, our duty is to assume the worst
and prepare for it Ii the Democrats step for.
ward and undertake the management of the war
they may become as bad as the bad men whom
they now condsmn and have displaced. The
tendency of defeat and disappointment is tc
exasperste and embitter. The passions of war
thus inaa,ned demand the use Of every means
that promises su ccess, without much regard te
it's lawfuhess. Whoever sets ABOUT Our SUBJ
|jugation as fixed aim and purpose, will do all
that Lincoin has done and designed. if, like
Lincoln, has efforts are baf1ed by mortityins
and huniitating defeats.
i Let Us, then prepare just as if Lincoln hae
Itriumphed. Perhaps we should prepare still
more ensrgetically. The result of the elections
may take the pressure from Mcclellan ,and leav'
him to his prasy policy. In order to end th
) war we shall then have to seek and to max
: all the fights. We must be strong enough no
simply to repulse, but to at tack.
Let the parties in the United States, whateve
be their name and the differences between them
understand fully and perfectly that separate in
depence is our irrevocable determination, an
will be defended against all corners, with q
the fortitude and courage and prowess at GU
command. Rsch. Eng.

TO The Editor Of Tie Raleigh Register:

SIR:-l wish to make public, through your
columns and those of other widely circulated
and influential journals, q suggestion to the
Women of the South.
1t is, that day be sppointed on which at a
certain hour, ehey, with one consent, shall uni.
tedly beg for Peace from Him in whose hands
are the hearts OF men and destinies of nations
Prayer is being made continually for the sue.
cess OF our arms in battle, and these prayers
have been answered in many instances, beyond
our hopes, Every one doubtless breathes an ear
nest petition for Peace, but it is suggested new
that our faithful women shall unite to pray in
an especial nattaaner for it-that God would for
give our enemies and turn their hearts, and that
He would forgive us debts, and would
speedily deliver US from the evil hands of
bloody men.
Let Monday, the lst day OF December, be
appointed, and on that day at 10 M, let the
heart OF every wife, mother, sister and daughter,
in every State of the Confederacy, go up in
fervent prayer to God for Peace. In places
where female prayer meetings are usual, let
the women themselves order the matter.
Where such meetings are not ususl, or are con-
sidered unadvisable, or are impracticable, let
every woman in her own house stop all work
| at the honr named-suspend the cardng and
spinning and weaving, and knitting, and sewing
and teaching, if for only ene halt hour, ana let
every woman's hear', be lifted 10 prayer for her
country. Let the sick woman on her bed re-
member tho day and hour, let the bus, forsgo
her business, and-I was going to say, Let the
gay suspend her gayety, but trust there are
no gay woman in thu South now. But let the
young, and beautiful, and hopeful, equally with
tbese who CAR lay CLAIM, to such titles, think
Of tn" dead and the dying, and the manglsd
think of the broken hearted, the destitute, the
homel ess, think of the widows the fatherless
the childless of This awful war, and let every
true hearted woman be stirred to pray as with
ore voice on that day to God for help and fer
| Psaee-an honorable Peace. a LADY,
| All papers dly to the above suggestion
please copy-that it may be as widely difussd
as possible by the day named.
