LIES AUTUMN.-Like the leaf life has
its fading. We speak and think of it with
sadness, just as we think of the Autumn
seasons. But there should be no sadness
at the fading of a life that has done well its
work. If we rejoice at the advent of a
new life, if we welcome the coming of a
new pilgrim to the uncertainties of this
worlds way, why should there be so much
gloom when all these uncertainties are mas.
sed, and life at its waning wears the glory
OF completed task? Beautiful as is child
hood in lis freshness and innocence, il, beau.
fy Is that of untired life. It is the beauty
OF promise, Of Spring, Of the bud. A no.
Tier and rarer beauty which the waning lif.
faith and duty wears.
1t is the beauty of thing completed
and as men come together To congratulate
each other when some great work has been
achieved and see in its concluding NOTHING
but g'adness. so ought we to feel when the
setting sun filings back its beams upon a life
that has answered we'll life's purpose
When the bud drops blighted, and the mil
dew blasts the early grain, and there goes
all hopes OF the harvest, one may well be
sad but when the ripened year sinks amid
garnlture OF Autumn flowers and leaves.
why should we regret or murmur? And
SO a lite that is ready and willing for the
well done OF God, whose latest virtues
and charities are its noblest, should be given
back to God in accomplishing reverence,
that earth is capable of so mnch goodness,
and Is permitted such virtue.

breast OF every patriot who resolved TO carry 10
successful issue the great struggle in which ia involved
all that hold dear. Mr. Jemis,n said:
Elected to fill the vacancy occasoned by the death CT
the lamented Yancey, whose tloquence aud persever
in the cause of Southern rights contributed
largely than the efforts of any other man to bring
about our separation from The old Federal Union, and
to whom, TO the period OF secession as well as upon
the question Of secession ITSELF it il well known that
was opposed my political views, may not be deemed
inappropriate to briefly state my visWs as to what course
the Government and the people of the COME derucS
in the present trying emergency OF the country should
pursue.
The question Of secession is of the things that re
past Is has become part Of the cOuntry's history
Future historians other and other times will pass
more impartial verdict TO its wisdom aud its policy,
than the present reneraJn. But il s[or the present
generation TO decide its own political status IL matters
not whether separation was right wrong, Nse
unwse. The alternative presented to is to press
forward, in and, until shall have achieved
honorable and glorious Independence to tamey aud
ba9ey submit TO the lowest political and social degrade

However ardenty peace may be desired there is not
trust, amongst US in the Copfederacy, one who
would accept peace any oil er than honorable terme
Who would, for the sake o. peace be willing the
Southern people consigned to political degradation and
doomed to social tqIaity with our slaves? We Sie
told by oppressors that terms Of peace will be
accepted but upon the unconditional and immediate
aboliuol Of slavery and onficaton o. rebel property
If there is any in the land who would accept peace
on these terms, he deserves a traitors doom.

be supposed be of the Monitors moving rap.dly
down the channel aud towards his ship the New Iron

saw enough TO excite his suspicion that all was not
right. When she had come within speaking distance he
hailed her and a'ked what vessel it was. The reply
came "Ay ay, sir; all right" As this was not the pro.
per answer to be given by any of s he hailed
again. The next answer was, "A live Yankee from
Post Royal" He was then satisfied that she was rebel
vessel and he called all hands to quarters The strange
vessel continued to move towards the ronsides, and
attempted to cross her bows or explode a torpedo
against her sides But she failed in the latter attempt
and only succeeded in getting foul OF the fgates ram

that the actual total foreign registered and coupon debt

this portion is held by the Literary Fund Of the sa'e
and subject to cincellton at any time by the Legsa
ture and therefore constituting, sic y speaki part
OF the public debt. The temporary, floating debt is
thus set forth:
