An unhappy mother called few days since at
one of the police offices and stated that her
daughter, girl of fourteen years of age, had dis
appeared from the school at which she had been
attending, and that nothing had since been heard
of her. At the same time the dress and general
appearance of the missing child were described
By some of the means which appear almost in
credible to those who are ignorant of the art of
detecting, the police were soon upon the right
tack; girl was short while after found upon
one of our principal streets who sufficiently an.
swered the description to lead to some questioning
She denied all relationship at first with the
mother who claimed her, but finally admitted her
self to be the party sought for and was led to the
police station. She stated, with much hesitation
and tears, that she had been enticed away by
procuress and carried to Carroton, by whom
she had since been controlled. The abandoned
woman who entced her from her friends, we be-
lieve, has not been arrested; but we hope her
occupation will be examined into by our city
custodians, and if she is ever brought to justice,
it will be with sincere pleasure that we record
the fact

Gen. Devens, commanding the District,
and the said order having been approx.
ed by Maj. Gen. Sickles, commanding
the Department; the Presiding Judge
to whom was assigned the duty of hold

it useless to proceed further on this
Circuit. When the administration Of
Justice is permitted, and the laws of the
land are allowed to be enforced without
tho preventing inference of the military
authorities, the business Of the Courts
will be resumed. The Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United States
has Informed the President that "a
civil court in District under mar.
tial law can only act by the sane.
tion and under the supervision of
the military power. And 1 cannot
think it becomes the Justices of the Su.
preme Court to exercise jurisdiction
under such conditions" The attempt
in Charleston to hold civil court in South
Carolina, although made in good faith,
shows the truth of the position, and the
impropriety of holding courts in State
where martial law is enforced.
The Clerk and Sheriff will draw the
necessary Juries for the next regular
Term. The Clerk will also send certi.

of the Courts Of Lexington, Kershaw,

will publish the same at the meeting of

And give my heart the glory,

You may therefore safely say to all
whom it may concern, that the poem
commencing "All quiet along the Poto.
mac, they say" appeared in Harper's
Weekly. of the date November 80,
1861, under the title of "The Picket
Guard';" that it was written by Ethel
Beers, then and now resident of New

person, are based either upon error or
fraud.

This appears to be satisfactory and
conclusive, and we must therefore give
Ethel Beers the credit of writing this
beautiful poem, which we would gladly
have accorded to Southern writer.
AS it has been claimed by Southern
soldier, and as his claim has been warm.
ly supported by several papers, we
should be pleased to have the alleged
author controvert these facts. Unless
this can be done-and with Mr.. Guern.
sey, we are satisfied it cannot be done

The New JERSEY SENAroR.-The scandalous
manner in which Senator Stockton was ex-
PEELED from the Senate has aroused general in
dignaton: There y no doubt that he was en-
titled to his seat; even The sena.s committee
reported in his favor. II the New Jersey leris-
lators had any selfrespect they would re-elecs
Senator Stockton by handsome vote-not on
account Of his politics, but as rebuke to those
Senators who trampled upon all considerations
Of law, honesty and honor in order to exclude
him from the seat to which he was duly elected
and justly entitled We do not expect that
they will adopt such . course, however; for
New Jersey Is always hundred years behind
the age. But the expulsion Of Senator Stock
ton shows to what lengths the radicals will 90
for the purpose Of getting votes to override
the Presidents veto, and II is q warning to
every conservative Senator to be present when
the vote on the Civil Rights bill Is taken.
Sickness should not prevent their attendance,
and there Is plenty of time to dissolve all
obligations in regard to pairs. We advise no
one to initiate the morality of Morrill,, but 10
give fair notice and refuse all offers to pair.

will be in bis place to help to sustain the veto.
Let him be there II he has o be carried on his
sick bed. When great battle lie imminent the
hospitals are cmptied; the sick and wounded
soldiers hobble to the front to fire one shot at
the enemy for their country's sake. We ask
Senator Dixon TO be as selfsacrincing as
our soldiers. The issue between tine President
and the radicals Ia no longer o mere question
OF a bill, Of party, Of o policy. The happi-
ness OF the whole nation II at stake. The issue
Is whether the white people or the negroes are
to govern this republic. II the President Is
sustained we shall have q restored Union.
peaceful, prosperous and brilliant future,
government conducted by white men for tho
benefit Of all mankind. II the radicals triumph
we may have negro Congressmen; negro
will be eligible 70 the Presidency; negroes may
represent us abroad; negroes will crowd ont
our white laboring mon; negroes will prevent
emigration to the South, and negroes will be
officially declared superior 10 the whites in this
mongrel republic. One vote may decide the
contest over the veto. Let not Senator Dixon
be absent when his name is called. II he
should die on the floor of the Senate II will be
AZ o martyr 10 constitutional liberty. and he
will be rewarded by q glorious Immortality.
