Hymn for Christmas.
BY MRS. HEMANS.

Oh lovely voices of the sky
Which hymned the Savior's birth,
Are ye not singing still on high,
.Ye that sang, sPeacc on9earth2"
To US yet speak the strains
Wherewith, in time gone by,
Ye blessed the Syrianswains,
OH voices of the sky!
Oh clear and shining light, whose beams
That hour Heavens glory shed,
Around the palms, and DER the streams,
And on tic shepherds head.
Be near, through life and death,
As in that holiest night
Of hope, and JOY, ard faith .....
Oil clear and SHINING light
Oh star which led to Him, whose love
Brought down mans ransom free
Where art thou ?'midst the host above,
May we still gaze on thee?
In Heaven thou art not set,
Thy rays earth may not dim,
Send them to gnide us yet,
OIL star which led to Him

scarce, and has raised wages 10 the un

erybody has gone into the harvest field,

thing it would be we'll for every one who
can, to drop other business and assist in
gathering in the crops. Upon them de-
ponds not only our own prosperity as in,
dividuals and as community, but in
them is largely involved the comfort of
our noble armies, and the success of the

freedom. Let other duties, then, as far

Dat crop, is at an end. in this locality
And it gives us the greatest pleasure TO
say that from considerable personal OBJ
servation. and from dilgent inquiry, we
are satisfied that the yield Of these cere
ais will DO excellent. A few fields Of
late sown Wheat. aud that planted on
very light sandy ridges. have suffered
some from the drought. but as whole
we do not believe that the crop has ever
been better in the county, and we never
knew our farmers better satisfied. The
Wheat stands thick, the heads are long
and we'll filled. and the berry plump and
fine. Oats could scarcely be better. and
the yield will be large. Corn. too. not
withstanding the dry weather, is looking
very rich in color, and rank in growth.
All il needed was the splendid soaking
showers which it received on Saturday
and Sunday nights. The cold nights Of
last week brought some frost. and il

Mr.. EDITOR Pm not much used to

writ some, and as l have been practising
the new Photograph system ofwriting,
thought l would send you a report of the
speech to his Democratic friends of the
celebrated colored gentleman and distin-
guished traveller, Mr.. c., delivered last
Saturday evening in the Court House.
1t may not be known to all your readers
who this distinguished colored gent is,
and perhaps I'd better inform you. He's
a Castillan by birth, his father was King
of the Tonga Islands, and his mother
the Queen Of Algiers. Possessed of a
princely fortune, he came to America,
and has for long time been principal
adviser to jeff. Davis and his Generals,
but he felt i. his duly to come north and
advise his Democratic friends in gener-
al, and his Copperhead friends in partic-
ular. The speech was really a mastery
effort, and was listenel to by large and
attentive audience. l send you a report
Of his speech, verbatim ct iteratim, which
