A Hallelujah and It's Echoes.

longer contain itself 1t is so rejoiced
at the success of the Vallandigham
Democrats in Ohio and Indiana, that it
can't "hold in" So it shouts Halle

sciH shout So, H-a-lle-lujahl
Gold has come down on account of
this glorious Butternut victoryi-so says
the Missouri Republican.
The Butternut victories were known
at New York on Wednesday, while the
decline in gold did not take place till
Friday-two days later. Still it would
be inconsistent with Butternut effrontery
not to claim one as the result of the
other-though business men know that
the decline in the price Of gold was
caused by the subsidence of the brokers
speculation in it.
The Cincinnati Enquirer shouts "Hal-
leluiahI" too, and the Missouri Republi-
can copies the following exclamation
from it, with marks of the liveliest de-
light:
other raid has been made by somebody
in Franklin county; 2,100 Abolition
scalps taken" HALLELUJAH."
The Democratic triumph in Franklin
county, Ohio, is hkened to a rebel raid
and reioiced over as suehl 1t is spoken
of as the capture of 2,1O0 Abolition

ST. HEL1ERs, JERSEY, Sept. %, 1862
JAMES H. McNEELY, P. NJ, Dear Sir;
have just visited the Dock-yard at
Portsmouth where the Government rules
are such as to give every satisfaction to
the party visiting. There are generally
parties taken through every department

of the policemen who takes every trouble
to give the information desired. They
are attempting to build a /" Monitor "
and have her about half completed.
They have just finished most magnif-
cent vessel which they have named the
Resistance. / think she carries eighteen
guns, principally Armstrong, one of
which is ll0-pounder. They claim for
her to carry II miles, but are most de-
cidedly of opinion that her old 6S-pound-
ers on other model are much more effec-
tive in making a breach in a fort or ship
than the Aarmstrong, though not so good
in the field at long range. They are,
however, surprised themselves at test
they have lately made with their conical
hard pointed balls, that even a twelve

back timbers. This result so unexpect

The Price Of "a Wife.

1t would be curious speculation to
trace the habits aud customs which have,
from the earliest ages, and in all commu-
mites. helped to fasten upon US these
sordid feelings which make marriage
something like gambling transaction !;
in all barbarous nations the father of a
girl conceived be had right to some
compensation from the husband for her
services, and as remuneration for the
trouble and expense of Bringing her up.
In the early history of all nations in their
uncivalized state, the custom prevails :
the woman Is sold for a price. Among
the Hebrews aud the Arabs the price
paid to the father was sometimes very
considerable. An ordinary price was FIVE
or six camels. and if the bride was very
beautiful, or highly connected Crank and
station had their influence even in the
earliest ages,) the fifty sheep or a mare
and foal were added. At the seige of
Troy an accomplished lady was valued at
four oxen. And when Danaus fouod he
could not get his daughters married, he
advertised that be was ready to receive
sutors for them without expecting any
presents-that is, that he was ready to
get rid Of them at any price,or at no price,
Among the savage tribes of our own days
the custom prevails. The red man of
America still bargains for his wife, and
the price varies from four horses down to
bottle of brandy. The Russians do not
mince the matter as more civilized ma
tions do but when marriage is proposed,
the lover, accompanied by friend, goes
to the home Of the bride and says to the
mother-"show US your merchandise, we
have got money" The Ancient Assyr-
ians deserve some credit for the custom
they introduce every year they put all
their beauties up to auctiou,and the prices
that were given for these were applied by
way of a portion for those who we're not
beautiful Thus all, of both sorts. got
married the one for their beauty the
other for the money which beauty not
their own had gained for them. They
made sensuality give dowry to avarice
but still marriage was lottery.

STATX AS.
BY cLARENcE ]. LINwooD.

Twas on calm autumnal eve | strayed,
Along the beauteods Susquehanna shore;
The sunbeams On the waters gently played,
While rivilets murmurs mingled with it's roar.
l gazed in silent rapture, while stood
Andviewedcreation's 'swonders there display d;
The wild o'erhanging rock, the silver food
The lofty hill in verdure green arrayed,
A calm soft feeling did pervade my soul.
AS on the charms of nature there gazeG;
And while in pride | saw the river roll
My heart theAuthor of these beauties praisd
Awake, cried, come lend thy gentle aid,
My slumb bring mu Sc awake nor longer dream
Within this silent, this sequeStered shaue,
Pll tune my Tyre to poesy's soothing theme,
Hail, Susquehanna hail, We rural shade
There with the muse at evenings silent hour
The bard perhaps, ,willwander thro your glades,
And lost in deep reflection, own her power.
O, let me to these sacred shades retire.
And shun the haUnts where busy man hath
trod INSPIRE,
Indulge the thoughts which scenes like these
And muse in silence on the passing food.
How lovely to repair to this sweet spot,
To wander through the rural shady grove
To here repose within some lonely grot,
Or by the margin Of the stream to rove.
How sweet at close of day when all is still,
To watch the glorious sun depart the world;
While as he sinks behind the western hills,
The clouds &trees are tinged with living gold.
Or when pale eve her dewy mantle spreads,
70 mark the lovely placed queen of night
As DER the hills her radiance bright she sheds,
Andgildsthe ripping waves with silverlight.
In these romantic shades, and rocky hills,
'Tis sweetto walk at this calm twilight hour,
Where autumn's changing hues, reign foretells
Of fwintern stern, with rugged stormy power.
Yes soon, ,yesweet,ye peaceful haunts, your trees
Will be Invested Of their mantle green,
By autumn's frOsts; whose gentle evening
Now softly Sighs, and waves their foliage
green.
Chill winter too, king of the northern blast,
Will soon approach, clad in his wild array;
The pensiye autumn's gentess reign be past,
And nature own his stern and rigid sway.
Farewell, then, humble wales and heath-clad
hills,
Ye emoss-g grown rocks, ( take my leave of you;
Ie gurgling fountains and meandering rlls,
To you bid a lingering, fond adieu.
But when returns the mild and gentle spring,
With balmy breeze with fresh and bloom
ing flowers,
Perhaps, to hail the sweets she then will bring.
Again I'll seek these lovely sylvan bowers.
