WANTED---A PRINTER.

Wanted-a printer" says a cotemp6-
rary. Wanted-a mechanical curiosity
| with brain and tingers-a thing that will
set SO many type day--a machine that
will think and act, but still machine-a
being who undertakes the most systematic
and monotonOus drudgery, yet one the in
genuity of man has never supplanted me-
chanically-that's printer.
A printer--yet for all his sometimes dis
sipated and reckless habits-a worker, at
all times and hours, day and night, sitting
up iii close and anWholesOme office, when
gay crowds are hurrying to the theatres
later still, when the street jewellers are
gone and the city sleeps-in the fresh air
Of morning-in the broad and gushing
sunlight some printing machine is at his
case with its eternal unwaVering click |!
click
Click! click! the polished types fall in
to the stick; the mute integers of express
sion are marshalled into line, and march
forth as immortal print. Click! and the
latest intelligence becomes old-the
thought sentiment-the idea of living
sentiment. Click! click! from grave to
gay, item after item-a robbery, a MUIR
der, a bit of scandal, disgraceful and
glowing thought-are in turn closed by
the mute and impressive fingers of the
machine, and set adrift in the sea of
thought. He must not think of future,
nor recall the past--must not think of
home, of kindred, of wife or babe-his
work lies before him, and thought is
chained TO his copy.
You know him by his works, who read
the papers and are quick at typographical
errors, whose eye may rest Oh these mute
e yidences OF ceaseless toll; correspondents,
edl tors and authors, who scorn the simple
mec ium of your fame, think not the prin-
ter is altogether a machine-thinkn not that
he is Indifferent to the gem of which he
is but the setter-a subtle ray may pene-
trate tn g recesses Of his brain, or the flow
ers he { athers may leave some of their
fragrance upon his toilworn fingers. But
when you seek friend, companion, advi-
ser-When vol would elevate one who, for
sympathy, may represent either or both
when you want Judges, Legislators, Gov
ernors and Pres dents-O, ye people, ad-
vertise: "Wante d-a printer"

Who hath not viewed, with wonder lighted eye,
The switt<winged swallow clip the evening sky?
Who hath not seen, with pang of secret pain,
The little twitt'rer bleeding strike the plain
The thonghtless youth, exulting Ger his foe,
Prepare for harmless SoUgSterS further woe?
Say, are there not less sangulnarV joys
TO charm the idle hours of Christian boys?
But let me here relate the dying flight
OF sad stricken swallow, when the light
Of evening, glowing DER the western hill,
Lured the poor victim to the placid rilI.
There stands the Fowler with his ready gun,
Whose Furnished barrel glitters in the sun,
Well poised on high; his steady eye surveys
The sable swallow wing her devious ways.
She fits above, now curves to cleaVe the wave,
Whose bosom scarce answering ripple gave,
Now close DER head her ardent flight she wings,
Alas the rude charge from the muZZle springs.
She whrls in airy vortex to the earth
A moment there she wildly sprinseth forth,
In rapid circles swift her pinions bend,
Around, around their dying strength eXpend.
The Fowler gazing trembles at her fight,
Still upwards, upwards to a loftier height,
Till like far spec1 seemed the soaring thing,
Still circling skywards on its sable wing,
Now seen, row-thro' the heecy clouds tits driven:
The swallow wings her dying flight to Heaven
Oh let me ike the wounded swallow when
Down-strlcken by the hands of ruthless men,
To HeavenwardS turn my weary spirits Hight
There battle NV soul in seas of bliSsf8l light:
So when the life from this poor breast rlven,
Oh spirit wing a swallow flight to Heaven

THE FoRsYTH HONE GUARDs-Our brethren of
the Way of the World have fallen into an error in
their statement in their last ISSUE that four hum
dred Home Guards had left Forsyth county for
parts unknown. We saw Col. Masten of that ccun-
ty, who is the commander of the Home Guards,
and he informs us that there are only one hundred
and Sixty -four rank and file ii that county OF this
number only about four have certainly left the
county. 1t is suspected that few others have left
but the whole number does not exceed ten. We
hope our brethren will correct this mistatement
through their columns, we feel assured they had
no disposition to do their neighbors of Forsyth the
least injustice In the least to reflect upon their
patriotism and loyalty. From all the counties
around not exceeding one hundred and ninety have
gone off, and, doubtless, many of them have gone
to different regiments in our service Greensboro

Sprin$ing OF the Mine.


A Petersburg Paper Describes the
SprinSing OF the Mine.
The chasm caused by the enemy's ex-
plosion appears to be about forty feet in
depth and some two hundred feet in cir
cumferenee, and resembles more what one
would imagine to have been the terrible
effects Of an earthquake than anything
else. Immense boulders Of earth were
piled up rudely, one above the other, and
great fragments of bomb-prOofs, gun-car-
riages, timbers, &C. were lying promiseu-
ously in every direction.
The sides and bottom of the chasm were
literally lined with Yankee dead, and the
bodies were in every conceivable position,
Some had evidently been killed with the
butts of muslcets, as their crushed skulls
and badly mashed faces too pllinly indi-
Gated, while the greater portion were shot,
great pools of blood having flowed from
their wounds and stained the ground.
Between our breastworks and the en-
emy's large numbers of dead and wound
ed were still lying, the latter begging
piteously for water and praying to be
cared for, The length Of the 'isap" made
BY the enemy is supposed to have been
about six hundred feet ~
The Petersburg papers estimate our en-
tire loss at eight hundred; the enemy'i
wounded at three thousand five hundred
killed, seven hundred Of the cspture 0
prisoners, arms, &C. Petersburg papel
says:
We have over 1000 prisoners in oul
possession, Il battle-hags, and upward 0
| 1000 stands of small arms.
