FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH Is, 1866.

The following lines on the eminent South
ern statesman, were written and published
some years ago by the late Provisional Cover
nor of North Carolina Htf
John c. Calhoun.
BIZ W. W. HOLDEN, EDITOR OF THs STANDARD.
The voyager on the Southern main
Views with rapt awe the hallowed sign
Which nightly flames "beyond the line;"
Nor deems the labor all in vain
Which brings him to the long sought shrine
The warriors tribes, in field by food,
Walk in its light when the day Is gone,
And hail it in its light abode
Best reflex of the absent sun.
In all their devious wanderings,
From dewy eve through midnight's reign,
1t guides them till the mornings wings
Shed sunlight Ger the earth again.
What if that cross its front should veil,
And, darkling, sink in nights embrace
No other stars nor sun could fill
Or share its wondrous dwelling place.
Star Of the South, twas thus with thee
To thee all eyes and hearts were turned,
As round thy path from plain to +
The glory of thy greatness burned.
Millions were drawn to thee, and bound
By minds high mastery; millions hailed
In thee GUIDING STAR, nor found
ray in thee that waned or failed
Fix'd as the sun which hangs in Heaven, /
Firm as the earth it shines upon; p. /
Pure as the snow by light winds driven
Vert thou, Columbia's honored SUM-
No nights embrace for thee nor pail
But such mortal change has wrought
THOU LIvRsT STILL in mind--in all
That breathes, or speaks, or lives in thought
Star of the South thy beams are here
HERE IN THIS HEART that weeps thy loss
Though hidden, thou art still sphere
Serene, refined from earthly dross,
Eternal and intensely cleari b

kindness rendered me by you.
When it shall please God to con-
sign this mutilated body to its final
resting place, be it among strangers

Louisiana, l will want no better
cpitaph inscribed on my tomb than

SALE OF THE HONE OF HENRY
CLAY.-Thc Louisville Journal OF
the 10th inst, says:
From the Lexington Observer and
Reporter Of yesterday we learn that
"Ashland' so long the home ofHen-
ry Clay has been purchased by the
trustees of the Kentucky Universi-
ty at cost of 10000. The farm
contains about 1926 acres of the best
land in the blue grass region of
Kentucky, and has acquired ma
tional reputation from its having
been so long connected with the
memory of the departed statesman.
The Kentucky Agricultural School,
which is under the patronage of the
State, as well as the other schools of
the University, will be established
at Ashland, and it is proposed to be-
gin the improvements on most ex-
tended and magnificent scale, one
that will do credit to our State, and
serve as monument 10 the memory
OF hf. clay.
We understand that u greater por-
ton of the farm will be devoted to
experimental farming, as the best
and most effcctual means of securing
to the students of the Agricultural
School thorough knowledge Of
practical farming.
The great object Of the founders
of this University is to furnish the
young men Of the country the most
ample facilities for obtaining a thor
ough education, and in order to ac-
complish this object no effort will be
spared in obtaining the most emf
ncnt talent in the various depart
ments of the University, whether
chemical, scientific or practical.
