States. lie states unhesitatingly, also,
that only a."paper blockade exists along
the three thousand five hundred miles of
the Southern coast, and expects the peo-
pie of the Southern Confederacy to for
get that only one month before, when at
Wilmington, N. c., he had assured the
people the whole force of the Conleder-
acy would be given 10 protect them, since
theirs was the only port not closed by the
enemy. Had he extended his peregrin-
ations TO the mouth Of the river, be could
have counted twenty hlockading vessels
lying off this "unclosed port" The re-
mainder of the three thousand five bun
dred miles Of Southern coast has been
closed effectively by paper blockade,

Of capture in passing twenty vessels of
war lying in wait.
We will say to Congress and to Pres
ident Davis that a careful study Of the
last Census Report Of the United States
will correct or destroy many perturba-
'tiona ia their minds as well as our own.
Let them legisla.e so as to increase the
number Of COWS and think no more of
the negro. The land, then, instead Of
being desolated by war, and the inhabi-
tants gaunt with priyatons and misery,
will flow literally with milk and honey,
as in times of yore.
A census taken now, as recommended
by His Excellency Mr.. Davis, in the
same manner as that Of 1860, over the
districts where it might be effected, would
show plainly the waste of war. How
many men between the ages Of eighteen
and City would be found wanting? How
many peaceful, Industrious inhabitants
would be found absent, haying, through a
thousand channels, found their way into
the Free States, actually filling up the
houses in every part Of the land, so that
none are untenauted? How many Of the
houses in the region passed over by the
contendng armies would now be found
occupied? How many negroes would be
found absent ready to return with mus
kets in their hands? How many cattle,
sheep, hogs, &c, would be found remain
ing? What has been the produce Of our
fields last year in cotton, sugar, corn, po-
tatoes, flour, peas, cattle and bacon, and
what amount remains uneonsumed .?
But, above all, what progress have we
made? Is the slave power more secure
than before we seeded Are we in such
q condition as to promise ourselves, even y
with reputation of all debts, both at
home and abroad, exemption from duties
and high taxation? What have we to t

The weary soldiers task is done,
Life's battle fought, the victory won,
He treads beat of endless Joy,
When foes no more his peace annoy.
Thy son and brother sleeps at last,
Where drum nor wars terrific blast,
Can break the silence of his rest,
Or bring commoton to his breast.
He sleeps He sleeps why wecpost thou
No care disturbs his placid brow,
All peaceful, quiet, and so calm;
He knows no sorrows fears no harm.
The bay and myrtle DER his grave
In beauty long shall grow,
And mark the shrine in which the braves
Lies Wondering below.
o fond paternal heart that bled,
Thy fallen SON to see;
Know that the noblest are the dead,
Who die for Liberty!
Thou mother of hero son;
Smile through thy FILLING tears;
Till hopes bright rainbow guides the path,
Thou'lt tread in coming years
When peace shall bless our struggling land,
And freedoms battle won;
Thy mourning heart with christian faith,

And when the scenes of life are DER,
How sweet will be thy joy;
To greet upon the shining shore.

The deceased though in a state of perfect
health previous to the attack that carried her off
had a presentment of her approaching end.
Some six weeks before her death she said to her
mother that she should soon die. Her mother
thought her triding, but she affirmed that this
would be the case, and gave directions as to the
manner she wished to be laid out. Her suffer-

relief only in death.
