"when sparrows build and tho leaves break forth,
My old sorrow wakes and cries,

And the berga begin to bow their heads,
And plunge aud sail iu the sea.

Where thoy listen II words from belowf
Nay, spoke once, and grieved thoo sore:

And now thou wilt car me no more-no mora
Till tho gives up her dead.
sThou didst set thy foot on the ship and soil
To the ice fields and the snow;
Thou vert sad for thy love did not avail,
And tho end could not knor.
How could tell thee should love thee o-day,
Whom that day held not dear7
How could bnow I should To- thee away,

With the faded bents oerspre,d;

Whero thy last farcweh was said
But perhaps shall zee and know thee ag Ain,
When tho sea gives up hcr dad"

1t has been regarded general rule in our
legislation, that the moro revenue we obtain the
more extravagant will be our expenditures. There
are projects enough before Congress to employ
twice es much OF tho expected surplus for
forty millions to be obtained from cotton might as
well be left in the hands Of tho ootton-growsrs, as
an encouragement to promote that industry here-
after to larger extent, and thus afford tho means
OF foreign exchange, and OF restoring the specie
standard. The government will be better paid
by the cotton produce in that way than by any tax

The Negroes COndition-WOrse than
Ever!

WENDELL PuILLIPs, the great Abolition
agitator, disunionist and seccssionist- In n
speech at the anniversary meeting of the
Boston Anti-Slavery Society, on Friday
last made use of the following language :
lie saw four millions of people standing
on the threshold of liberty, and only on the
threshold, and now, more than ever, Is the
time for active measures. IL the flag was
not kent iying, the public will say; If the
anti-slavcry host has pulled down its ban
ncr, the work must be done, and we may go
home. Practically, the negro Is n0to ~ q
igorse condition than IN 1850.
Hear that The great apostle of niggcr-
dom, who has headed every movement
looking toward the freedom of the South
trn slaves, and has boasted that during
thirty years of agitation, for nineteen OF
of that period, to accomplish his purpose
he was a sccessioniSt, and for thirteen, dis
unionist.-and after the anti-slayery crusade
of thirty years had eliminated in civil
war, involving the disruption of the Union,
the sacrifice of probably two millions OF
lives and the expenditure of more thar
four thousand millions of treasure, all for
the elevation of the political and physical
condition of four millions of negroes, he
now candidly and publicly acknowledges
that. PRACTICALLY THE NEGRO Is now
INA WORSE CONDITION THAN in ls60r'
1t needed no Phillips to make such con-
fcssion of the failure of the abolition infer
nails in improving the welfare of the slave,
to convince the more willy of his Black
Republican followers-less candid and
more unscrupulous than hc-that beyond
inflicting irreparable injuries upon the
country-their accession to power, and the
policy of all their measures have resulted
in nought but untold mischief.

Bayonets elected State Senator and
three Representatives, not long since, in
the counties of Campbell and Pendleton,
Ky. Messrs. BAKER, HAWTHORN, DEGMAS
and WILSON, the bayonet choice-repaired
to Frankfort, the Capital, took their seats
and went to work in legislative labors as
coolly as if they had been honestly chosen
and really, in their assumed official capa-
city were the reflection of the will of the
people of those counties. A contest re-
suited, however, in ousting them from their
places declaring them Illegally elected and
sending their cases homeward, to be tried
over again. This is fixed for the 10th OF
February next and as bayonct-voting is
played out over there, the result may read
lily be anticipated.

A Busted Institution.

Mention has been generally made of the
insolvency of the columbian Marine In
surance Company" of New York. 1t was
alleged, at the first that the Confederate
cruizers, having destroyed so many vessels,
for which the Company had issued policies,
during the war, was the cause of insolv-
ency. This was humbug A New York
letter says:
1t seems to have been managed through
ont upon the big augur system, and at last
goes out with a bad smell, like an expiring
candle Some idea can be formed of the
magnitude of the companys operations,
from the circumstance that its receipts for
premiums for. the past three years, have
averaged about S4,000,000 per annum. But
the elements were against the concern.
Extravaganza, reckless underwriting, cut
throat competition and the unprecedented
rampages of thestOrm-king, We're, in COM
binatiOn, too much for the Columbian, and,
having driven the President crazy. they
have finally wrecked the Company hope

Southern Feeling.

Gen. LoNGsTREET, the distinguished Con-
federate General, lately wrote private
letter to gentleman in Cincinnati, an ex-
tract from which may be taken as fair cx-
preston of Southern feeling. He says in
it: .. H I H..
~ see that some of the public men of the
North are still inclined to doubt our loyalty
mt the South, and to hold us in our present
condition for further guarantees. What
can we do to satisfy themb We are willing
and anxious to do any thing that is wanted
of us, provided we are allowed to get on
some constitutional platform. do not
suppose that there are thousand men in
the South who think differently from my
self on this subject; and have some doubts
whether there are as many as that who
would leave the Union to-day, if they were
offered the choice to go out or retutn upon
terms of equality"
We have no doubt that there is now ex-
isting in the minds of the people of the
South, as a section, a more loyal feeling
toward the Union, even with Slavery wiped
out, than prevails In the Yankee States.

1t is said the bill to give the District OF

passed directly after the negro suffrage bill,
and that the negroes already are jubilant
about electing their delegate to Congress.
They say, by all sticking together, rs they
will, they can run their man in between the
two ''whlte-trash" parties; and they say
when they elect him, Gosh! dat Niger
take de front seat by de Speaker!
