No War in Heaven.
By MRS. c. A. CABLE.

Where are our brave and loved ones We
answer: : many, very many, have gone to that
bourne whence no traveller returns, and are
-esting, we trust, in that spirit land where
here is no war nor shedding of blood, but all
S peace and heavenly union"
No war in heaven! No bustle's hum
Shall DER that glorious landscape come;
No brothers dressed in bright array,
To take each others lives away!
No war in heaven No fields sf gore
Are on that wide expanded shore;
No weary nights of anxious care
Await the war-worn soldier there.
No war in heaven! The battles won
The conqueror's there shall wear the crown
The plumes of victory they shall bear,
And in the joys of heaven shall share.
No war in heaven! No sorrow there
No aching heart, no parting tear;
But all Is calm and pure delight,
The armor ever new and bright.
No war in heavenl No trials there:
No ceaseless aches and thrilling pains
No wasted cheeks, where sorrows tear
Has rolled and left its blighting stains.
No war in heaven! No rebels there:
No cleaning sword, no bloody spear;
The battles there are never lost
No rebel foes there make their boast.
No war in heavenl Our glorious king
Shall hither all his armies bring;
Their names are written on his hand
His subjects come ut his command.
No war in heaven! The tables spread
With heavenly manna-heavenly bread
Clothing you'll have. and food and pay
Come and enlist without delay.

Mitchell county. three from Chickasaw,
and twenty-one (2l) from our own
county. Of the ten rejected, FIVE
were from Mitchell and Chickasaw, and
five from our own county. Of the
certificates granted, four were given
to applicants from Mitchell county.
and sixteen to applicants Of our own
county. Although the qualification
Of our teachers, as whole, is far be.
low the Eastern standard, yet, CON-
pared with our neighboring counties,
it is commcndable. Our teachers fail
most in grammar, especially orthogra-
ply, the first part of it. ..-. -
"The nature and poaoers Of letters /"
are not fully comprehended by many
Of them F.; hence they are generally
poor readers, indistinct in articulation.
As remedy for this, Isuggest to our
teachers the propriety of purchasing
Wrigbt's Orthography, a work Of genu-
inc utility and a full treatise on that sub.
ject. Or, if not convenient to do this, to
study carefully the exercises in articu-
lation found in McGuffy's Readers.
McGufy's New Sixth Reader gives
all the elementary sounds, and an
swers a very good purpose for work
on photography. Also Towns and
Pages Charts, but none are so full and
efficient as Wrights. As far as /
am capable of Judging, our teachers
need teaching aud upon this subject,
I design, in my next communication,
to discuss the best method Of conduct
ing Teachers Institutes. propose,
in my next report to publish the
names Of all candidates licensed dur
ing that quarter, and the names of
those rejected. l would also, in this
report, notify the several school Off
GERS, that have the promise of the
new school laws some time during
this month"; copy for each. would
also notify the several township Sec
retaries that it is their duty TO report
to me the names of all the school off =
GERS in their respective townships.
This is essential in order that l may
distribute school papers and docu-
ments. Fl. WILBUR,

An Incident of the Siege Of Charleston,

... r. DEATH AT A BRIDAL.
The Yankees from time to time
throw a shell into the city and nobody
seems to mind it. But misfortune
willed that yesterday shell should
throw the entire community into
mourning.
Miss Anna Pickens, the daughter
of our former Governor, never con-
sented to leave the city. Despite the
representations of Gen. Beauregard,
she remained braving shells and Greek
fire, tending the wounded and cheer
ing oil with her presence. Among
the wounded officers under her care
was Mr.. Andrew dc Rochelle. q de-
scendant of one Of the noble Hugue-
not families Of the city. This young
man was full of the liveliest gratitude
for his fair nurse; gratitude gave
birth to more tender sentiment his
suit was listened to; Gov. Pickens
gave his consent, and the marriage
was fixed for yesterday, the 23d.
Lieut.. dc Rochelle was On duty at
Fort Sumpter in the morning, aud it
was determined that the ceremony
should take place at the residence Of
Gen. Bonham, in the evening at I
o'clock. At the moment when the
Episcopal clergyman was asking the
bride if she was ready, shell fell up,
on the roof Of the building, penetrated
to the room where the company was
assembled, burst and wounded nine
persons, among the rest Miss Anna
Pickens. We cannot describe the
scene that followed. Order was al
last regstablished. and the wounded
were removed, oil except the bride

Mr.. EDITOR IL propose making.
through yonr paper, with your approx
al, quarterly reports of the doings of
this Office. This report will be rath-
er late for this first quarter, for the
reason that l have just made up my
mind to do so. On examining the re-
ports of the several township secreta-
ries for the past year, ! find there
were eleven school districts and fifty
one sub-districts in the county at the
date of their several reports. viz :

into Mitchell county for school pur-
poses. @
During this quarter, l have made
one report to the Secretary Of the
Board Of Education in relation to Web
ster's Dictionaries-havs answered
several interrogatories in relation to
school matters. and examined thirty
applicants for school certificates. OF
this number, twenty have received
certificates, and ten have been rejec'
ted. Of the certificates granted, elev'

six months. Of the ten rejected, -four

who lay motionless upon the carpet.
Her betrothed, kneeling and bending
over her, was weeping bitterly and
trying to staunch the blood that we'll.
ed forth from terrible wound under the
lett breast. A surgeon came and de-
clared that Miss Pickens had not
more than two hours to live. We
will not paint the General despair
When the wounded girl recovered her
consciousness, she asked to know her
fate, and when they hesitated to tell
her" Andrew" she said, / beg you
tell me the truth. If l must die, can
die worthy Of you" The young sol.
dier's tears were his answer, and Miss
Anna. summoning all her strength, at
tempted to smile. Nothing could he
more heart rending than to sec the
agony of this brave girl, struggling
in the embrace of death and against
a terrible mortal pang. Gov. Pick
ems, whose courage is known, was al
most without consciousness, and Mrs.
Pickens looked upon her child with
the dry and baggard eye of one whose
reason totters.
Lieut.. de Rochelle was the first to
speak. Anna" he cried, II will die
soon, too, but l would have you die
my wife. There is yet time to unite
u.s."
The young girl did not reply; she
was too weak. A slight flush rose
for an instant to her pale cheek it
could be seen that joy and pain were
struggling in her spirit for the mas.
terry. Lying upon a sofa, her bridal
dress all stained with blood, her hair
disheveled, she had never been more
beautiful. Hopeless as she was,
Lieut.. de Rochelle took her hand and
requested the Rev. Mr.. Dickinson to
proceed with the ceremony. When it
was time for the dying girl to say
Yes, her lips parted several times, but
she could not articulate. At last the
word was spoken, and a slight foam
rested upon her lips. The dying ago
ny was near. The minister sobbed as
he proceeded with the ceremony. An
hour afterward all was over and the
bridal chamber was the chamber of
death. Lieut. dc Rochelle has sworn
to perish in battle against the Yam.
KEGS, and we are sure that he will
keep his oath. He has now o double
motive to hate them and his own ex-
istence.

Mr.. EDITOR Since reading the
news Of the five days battles in Vir.
ginia, my thoughts have been continu.
ally occupied with the probable re-
suits. Should Lee succeed in defeat.
ing Grant, and thereby destroy our
Potomac army, what shall we of the
North do2 Will not France immedi-
ately acknowledge tho independence
of the Southern Confederacy, and pro-
ceed to enforce that acknowledgment
by force of arms Z Does not her re-
fusing to prevent the departure of
those two iron clads at Nantes, and
the construction of the third, point to
such result? Does not the acces-
sion of Maximillian to the throne of
Mexico, under the auspices of France,
point to such a result? Under such q
state of things, will it be possible for
US to raise another army sufficient to
cope with the rebels and France too
| confess, sir, that tremble for the re.
suit. To my mind, this is one of the
most momentous periods in the histo.
ry of the world. On the result of
this campaign hangs the destiny of
the whole civilized world. If Lee
succeeds, republican institutions are
failure. The result of this contest
is not confined to this country. 1t is
not simply contest between freedom
and Slavery, but a contest between
republican institutions and monarch.
les every where between those who
think they are born to rule and liber.
ais all over the world. If we fail,
monarchists and aristocrats will be
furnished with conclusive argument
againstrepublics. If we fail, liberal
principles, progress aud reform. will
be repudiated, and the world, in it's
progress, will be thrown centuries
backward. How little do we appreci-
ate the events now transpiring Liv-
ing in the midst Of the most sublime
scenes, contemporaries with actual
warfare carried on with a grandeur
and magnificence Unsurpassed, liv-
ing witnesses of events fraught with
momentous consequences-and, yet,
how calm we are how cool {! how in
different
Many of US are not conscious that
We are now furnishing material for a
greater history than has ever yet been
written. We are not conscious that
future generations will look back to
this period and wonder at our stu.
pidity.
1t seems to me q man must be q
misanthropist whose sympathies arc
with the rebellion. .
Mr.. Editor. my hearts desire and
prayer to God is, that party politics
perish, negro slavery perish. monar-
chies perish, kingdoms perish, prop
erty perish. and, If it must be, millions
of lives yet perish, before my country
shall be destroyed and liberty perish
by this most wicked and hellish re-
bellion. II.
