THE OLD BLUE CUP.



II stands lis g the last of ancient race.
That has yielded to Time and Fate;
And strangers smile they see its place
By the urn of moder date. 81
Thy know not the spell o'er its houehness ca:
Quaint figure and co1oring dim,
They see not the gems from the mines of the pas
Thatjewel the old cups rim.
Oh, my mother drank from that ancient cup
When her summer of iii was new,
And my father has smiled as he held it up,
And bade her fill $ to tho blue.,'
The fair, soft pal and the broad brown hand
I can see, 1 can see them still,
AS she poured, unheeding the vain command,
To the brim. with right good will.
Oh, the Sevres cup has flmy grace
Like foam from the crested sea;
And an artists hand in each gilded trace
OF the Dresden set see.
But they cannot bring back the golden hair,
And the forehead, transparent as they,
That see by my side in my darling's chair,
When the old cup stands the tray.
'Tis a link that binds to the shadowy past,
r And view IL as Oft view
With eyes that are saddened and overcast,
Your faces, old friends and true.
And when by the urn at the evening cheer
Another my place shall Sill,
The old blue cup, with its memories dear,
1woald have you cherish still.

NoRFoLK, VA, Oct. &c, 1868.
Editor Democrat:
I thought that perhaps letter from "Dix-
ie'' might not be undressing to your nu-
merous readers, although there is not much
to write about. You no doubt remember that
this city was taken by the Union Army some
thing over year ago, by whom it has since
been held, and the time intervening has been
occupied mostly in the erection of fortifca-
tlons for the protection of the city and the
advances to it. Norfolk bears the marks of
having been city not only of much beauty,
but OF great commercial importance to the
Southern trade. Possessing one of the best
harbors in the world, its advantages in this
respect, were greatly superior to any other
Southern port. Two Railroads from the inte-
rior terminate at this point, and before they
were closed, did very large business. But
now how changed. Norfolk contained be-
fore the rebellion between 10000 and 25,oOo
inhabitants, and Portsmouth, opposite, a pop
ulation of some 10000. Now there is proba-
bly, not to exceed 1900 to 10000 in the two
cities, composed mostly of citizens from the
Northern States, and those who are left be-
hind of the old stock, principally women, the
male portion of the population almost entire
ly having volunteered or been pressed into the
rebel service before its occupation. The
business now is mostly composed of trade in
cldent upon military possession. The rail-
roads do nothing but in the transportation of
military or government freight, &c. Gosport
Navy Yard, just back of Portsmouth, once
the pride of the nation, is now heap oil ru-
ins, having been destroyed when the rebellion
first broke out. 1 believe there is but one
building left that was not totally destroyed,
of that immense work. The approaches to
the city are now amply protected against any
ordinary power that can be brought against it.
Norfolk has been the scene of great excite
ment for the past three or four weeks, caused
by the announcement that DIR. David M.
Wright, had been sentenced 10 be hung for
the murder of Lieut.. Lanborn, of Cambridge
NJ ass, in July last. He was a highly respec-
ted citizen, and every effort had been made to
secure his acquittal, even to thorough exam
ination, by order of the President, on plea
of insanity This, however failed, as did all
others The circumstances were these. L.
