POETRY.
DIDN'T KNOW.

He gave me n knife one day at school,
Four-bladed, the handle Of pearl
And great black words on tho wrapper said,
"For the darlingcst little girl"
was glad! Oh, yes, the crimson blood
To my young check came and went,
And my heart thumped wondrously pit-a- pat,
But didn't know what ii meant.
One night he said l must jump on his sled,
For the snow was falling fast;
was half afraid but he coaxed and coaxed,
And he got mo on at last
Laughing and chatting in merry glee,
To my homo his course he bent,
And my sisters looked ut each other and smiled
But didn't know what il meant.
The years passed on. and they touched his eye
With a shadow of deeper blue;
They gave to his form manlier grace
To his check swarthier hue.
We stood by the dreamily ripping brook,
When the day was almost spent
His whispers were soft as the lullaby;
And-Now KNOW WHAT IT MEANT!

,sayoralty OF New Orleans.

The following are the facts regarding
the reported Presidents interference in
the municipal election of New Orleans.
Mr.. Kennedy, the present mayor, tele-
grapbed to the President on the 10th
inst, expressing doubts as to the fitness
Of MS Successor elect, Mr.. Monroe, and
inquiring whether or not he should Weld
the succession,
The President replied by telegraph as
follows
al have no information to give in re-
gard 70 surrendering the mayoralty of
New Orleans to persons elected to fill the
position. l have no information show
ing the election was not regular or the
individual who has been elected cannot
qualify, In the absence of such proof,
the presumption is that the election has
been according 10 law, and the person
elected can take the oath OF allegiance
and loyalty required"
Mr.. Monroe seems TO have known that
efforts were being made to keep him out
Of Office, and also telegraphed the Presi-
dent that he had been regularly elected
mayor Of New Orleans, and that he was
loyal to the Union, and enthusiastically
in favor of the reconstruction policy of
the President as any living man, and can
qualify according TO law. The President
replied to this BY repeating the telegram
sent to Kennedy, thus leaving the matter
where it begins, viz the people of New
Orleans and the civil and military laws
that govern such eases.

We find the following piece going the
rounds OF our exchanges:
As the gallant Gen. Hoke, of North
Carolina, was lately travelling on the ears
from New York to Washington, on the
seat in front Of him sat q negro, and on
that Immediately opposite two United
States officers, mt 8 general.
Soon after leaving New York, Gen.
HOke saw 8 man, who was walking
through the car, pick IN from the floor,
near where the negro sat, What he,
at the time, supposed to be a
ticket, and VIXEN the conductor came
round and Was told by the negro
that lac mad lost his ticket, but that
he had bought and paid for one, and
that he had q check for his baggage,
the General was satisfied that the man
he had seen walking through the ear
had found the negroes ticket, and 50 in
formed the conductor, who accepted his
statement, and went on marking the
cheeks uf Qsner passengers.
\ change of conductors takes place be-
tween Washington and New York; ard
when the second one, on his round, was
told by the 06gro that he had lost his
ticket, he said that was not his lookout,
and that the fare would have to be maid,
Gen. Hoke then stated TO him what he
had told the first conductor; but in
stead Of receiving and crediting the
Generals explanation, he, in a pert
aud impudent manner remarked
that neither black mar nor white
man should pass by him without paying,
snd that h enegro should pay or be put
OF. The General then rising from his
seat, and shaking his foreingar in mont
OF the conductors face, Informed him
frm!y and deliberately, that for the past
four years ne had been hghting for the
negro, and that though defeated, he
would not even now allow one to be NAL
treated in his presence; that the e
had paid his fare and should go through.
The conductor skunk away, the 2
came on 10 Washington, but the twe
United States officers never said 3 word.

Meeting in Simmer County.

T rum LlAF ArdLltLlI EAs4-AAAtE.l
AT 2 public meeting held by the citi
zens of Sumner county, at Gallatin, on
the l4th day of March, 1866, the Hon.
Bailie PeytOn was called TO the chair.
Col. Peyton explained the object of the
meeting to be for the purpose of nominal
ting suitable candidates for representative
OF Sumner county and Senator for the
counties Of Sumner and Smith, these
Offices having been vacated by the resig-
nation Of 4. r. Wynne and Nj. Bowen.
Col. Peyton said that Col. Wynne and
other members of the Legislature had
resigned in order to defeat odious laws,
which were intended to take from our
citizens the right OF suffrage. That they
were moral heroes and deserved the
highest commentator from their fellow
citizens. After the conclusion Of Col.
PeytOu's remarks, Hon. 7. Barry offered
the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted
Resolved, That We are highly pleased
with the u of Col. \, Il. Wynne,
and the course Of Col. A. E. Garrett,
as members Of the last General AS
sembIy,
BCSohed, That we are in favor Of the
right Of suffrage being extended to every
white man over the age of twenty-one
years, and we are utterly and entirely
opposed to all DISTINGUISHING acts. We
regard Coils. Wynnea and Garrett as moral
heroes and genuine patriots, who rec
ogn1ze the principle that all govern
ments derive their just authority from
the governed.
ReSOle6a, As the sense OF this meeting
that Col. A. r. Wynne be nominated as
a candidate to represent this county in
the coming Legislature and that Col. A.
Z. Garrett be nominated 10 represent us
ia the State Senate, to Ill the place of
the late senator, Mr.. Bowen, from the
counties of Smith and Summer.

Deepening She Passes Of the slissEssipps.
The following joint resolutions, in re-
gard to deepening the passes OF the Mis-
sissippi river, have been introduced into
the Louisiana Legislature. II will be
seen, as the New Orleans PlcayVae says,
that they do more than merely memo
rialize Congress; they call for co-opera-
ton, assistance from other States, their
chief executive officers and Legislatures,
not South only, but North and West, and
for that Of the commercial community,
through their chambers of commerce and
other like bodies in all the great cities Of
the Union. So comprehensive a move
ment for SO desirable apurpose must sue
coed
Whereas, Every State in the Missis-
sippi valley is greatly interested in deep
euing and keeping open to a sufficient
depth, the passes at the mouth of the
Mississippi, and whereas, the city of New
Orleans and the State Of Louisiana have
an especial interest in the speedy accom-
plishment of such a work. Therefore, be
Res0Ircd, Gg the Senate and House Of
Representatives. Of The StateQf Louisiana,
IN General assembly cOnreHcd, That our
senator's and representatives elect to the
United States Congress be andare hereby
requested to invite the senators and
representatives of Mississippi, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and
other States, to cooperate with them in
urging upon the Congress of the United
States the immense Importance to the
commerce Of the United States, and espe-
cially to the States Of the Mississippi
valley, Of adopting some practicable plan
Of deepening, and keeping ~deepened, the
passes Of the Mississippi river.
Res0irsd, That the governor Of the
State is requested to open a CORES
pondeuce with the governors of the
States mentioned in the foregoing first
resolution, and such others as in his
judgment he may see 1t for the purpose
of securing their influence for the object
therein stated.
ResoJred, That a special committee of
two members from the House and -
OF the Senate be appointed TO commUni-
cate with the Chambers Of Commerce of
the cities of Memphis, Louisville, St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Chicago
and st. Paul, upon the most practicable
plan Of deepening the mouths Of the
Mississippi and preserving a depth Of
eighteen feet or more, and TO enlist their
influence to obtain the approval of the
United States Congress to any plan that
may be adopted, or to obtain from Con-
gress sufficient annual appropriation to
deepen and maintain the depth of said
passes.

EiGnnas H. FeEaH.
an Antonio HorglI of the 5tI


49,
inst, says:
From a friend Of ours who has just re-
turned from a trip upon the Colorado,
old Caney, ana OUneE Of the most i'm
portant sections Of the State, we derive
themOs satisfactory Information respect
ing the prospects for the Gaming crop.
He ConyeTsed fully and freely with very
many Of the planters, and found them
almost universally possessed of far higher
hopss GIq far brighter prospects than
could possibly have Eeen anticipated at
the outset of the year. Nearly all the
cotton plantations in the sections visited
by our friend are in cultivation, most Of
them with q fair supply Of labor, some
with more than ever before employed
upon them, while some were still short of
them. In general, planting operations
were Tulig as far advances as usual at
this time of year, and the proportion Of
cotton To other crops, though greater
than has been customary heretofore, was
Yet not such as u threaten 2 scarcity of
grain. Most cOpionS rains have fallen
along the Brazos, Colorado, Caney and
intermediate counties, and mother earth
was ~appate1tly preparing herself for an
extraordinary exertlon 81 neT feCGaSity.
In nearly every instance the planters
spoke very favorably Of the disposition
and coDduvJ OF tae aeETcss so far, though
some doubted whether they would hold
on as they have begun. The hands are
generally divided into squads, each un-
der "a biaeh fofSsaap, and a proportionate
extent of ground assigned 10 each squad.
The foremen exercise a strong control
over their squads, and the hands them
selves AIS E4pidly learning from the in
stinct of selEinteFe5t, the necessity OF
making every niger do his duty. The
portion of the crops assigned 10 the
hssG- -srieS from o~ue-uuarter 10 one
third, and IN some lew Instances one
half is allowed them.
Though occasionally large and produc-
tiV6 PLANTATIONS are found living waste
and desolate, yet our ftiend believes their
products will be al least supplied by the
many small farmers, who under the slim
uius % high prices, are directing their ef-
forts to The production OF COTTON, ana
from what he saw together with what he
heard from other sections, it is the con-
viction o. our iHtormaHt, that barring
accidents, Texas will make a full crnn %
cotton.
