Gov. of New York.

The new Governor of New York, Mr. Ssy-
mour, naugura'ed on the lst inst. The
old abolition Governor, Morgan, made an ad,
dress on retiring which seemed designed to call
Mr. Seymour OUT and make him avow his pol.
ICY. M"rgan said that the Union arms would
be victorious and the South made to live under
the same government with the North, and sll
fight under the same flag. Mr. Seymour, in
his address, did not endorse this declaration
OF Morgan, but simply said that while know
ing that MS p''stinn gave him but liitfs control
national affairs, he yet wished that before
:hs end OF his term of service, the country
would he again kreat, glorious and united as it
once was.'' He said he intended to maintain
the constitution Of the State Of New York, with
all its powers aud defend the sovereignty and
Jurisdiction Of the State. -
Oae Of the first acts Of the new Governor
was to order the Police Commissioners of New
York tc appear at Albany and answer charges
for making illegal arrests and intimidating
voters st the November election.

THE CHESS BOARD.

NY little love, do you remember
Ere we were grown SO sadly wise,
Those evenings in the bleak December,
Curtain warm from the snowy weather
When You and played chess together,
Checkmated by each others eyes?
An, still see your soft white hand
lowering warm o. er Queen and Knight.
Brave Pawns in valiant battle stand:
The double Castles guard the wings:
The Bishop bent on distant things,
Moves, sideling, through the fight,
Our fingers touch; our glances meet,
And falter; falls your golden hair
Against my cheek; your bosom sweet
Il heavlng. Down the field, your Queen
Rides slow her soldiery all between,
And checks me unaware.
Al me. the little battles done,
Rispcrst is all its chivalry
Fall many move, since then, have we
Hid LIES peapleKing cheqners Made,
Aud many game with Fortune play d.
WHAT it We have won?
This, this at least-if this alonc;-
That never, never, never more,
As in, those old still nights of yore,
Ere we were grown so sadly wise)
Can you and shut out the skies,
Shut out the world, and wintry weather,
And, eyes exchanging warmth with eyes,
Play chess, as then we played, together

An Appeal from an ollleer OF the AYa..s
to the Country.
70 tic Editor Of the n. Z. Times.

The critical state OF our government at this
luneture, has induced me to risk being mis-
interpreted, and set before you some Of the
feelings and thoughts of an officer in the
field, who yearns for thowelfarc of his counv
try Sometimes [ hear. ''thore is apathy
at home among large class then, ''that
the disloyal are gaining over to themselves
this apathetic Glass;" that thousands are
crying for peace, peace, at all events"
What does this mean? What does it por-
tend? | have left my precious family and
offered myself to my country, gone to the
threatened points, breasted the storm, and
thrown every obstruction could in the way
of the enemy, and am still facing him? but
| what boots it If there is no support from
home? if there is nothing but Indifference
or open opposition there? Why struggle
on and wet this soil with our blood if there
is no love Of country among our people?
Let the enemy come IN like whirlwind.
/ Let the eitiesof New York and philadelphia
be turned over to pillage. Let all the hor-
rors of a desolating war sweep over the
thickly populated districts of the Western
and Middle States, then perhaps, by-and-by,
our good people will wake up to a sense of
their sinful selfshness and folly. Pence !.
There is no peace. God will not give US
peace till we conquer it We may change
the theatre of war, but we can have no peace
short Of the destruction of our country
From infancy I have been taught to love
my country and to love freedom At times
/ have been able, to apologize for slavery,
but have always felt that it was blot upon
us. Now must ] sacrifice my country to
save slavery? The rebels might have en-
ioyed their darling institution awhile longer,
but they would not have it so they might
still, perhaps, preserve transitory remnant
by promptly yielding to law and returning
to allegiance, but this they will not do
Let us out with it: we have no alternative;
we must destroy slavery root and branch:
we must do it in order to 'subjugate" the
persistent enemy of republican government.
God grant us the strength and stamina to
meet the issue boldly. II VIC do not he
will bring us to it by Christening and scourg-
ing. This is hard duty-a terrible,
solemn duty; but it is duty. I am not
prepared to gee this government destroyed:
not willing to give my children anarchy and
shame for an Inheritance; not ready for
patched up peace that will cause the land
to be again drenched in blood in few short
years. Neither am | satisfied at the pros
