nature rose in proud rebellion against a
life of dependence on others. Conse-
quontly I had sought and obtained a sit

in a picturesque part of Devonshire, and
something in it's bowery lanes and sunny
fields reminded me irresistibly OF my girl

Happiness United to Virtue.

We need but look over the wide
world, and view the different races OF
mankind and the various stages OF
life to see that happiness is closely
connected with virtue. Trace the his
tory of man from the earliest period
possible, and all along to the present
time we must plainly see convincing
proofs that where virtue resides not,
there happiness cannot dwell. BY
happiness is meant that state of be-
ing in which our desires are gratified
by the enjoyment of pleasure, unauoy.
ed by pain. There are several de-
grees of it, of which bliss is the high
est, but this is rarely if ever obtained
in this life, as it is more nearly related
to heavenly than earthly things. and
is supposed to be reserved for those
who go to that world where all is bliss
aud happiness. BY virtue we mean
moral goodness, a total abstainment
from vice and an unblemished charac.

paths of virtue that we may expect to
be happy. How can person who
revels in vice and debauchery be hap.
Ply? His efforts to drown the ever.up
rising conscience must be anything
but agreeable. The murderer who, in
a moment of frenzied madness, wreaks
vengeance on his unfortunate victim,

hess. lie may try to persuade him
self he does not care for what he has
done, and seek pleasure in various

himself of that canker gnawing at
his conscience. But had he clothed
himself in virtues raiment, it would
have shielded him from the too often
0verpoweriug passions Of the human
heart. Then bis life would have been
far different-for he would have had
greater opportunities of gaining the
chief object of his desire, as well as
that of all mankind.
There are variety of ways Of OH
tanning happiness. Some seek it in
one way, some in another but virtue
must invariably accompany us in our
researches, else our efforts will prove
Ruthless. Choose which path we may

The Maiden's Prayer.
BY JOHN q. WHITTIER.

BY JOHN q. WHITTIER.
She rose from her delicious sleep.
And put away her soft brown hair,
And in tone as low and deep
As loves first whisper, breathed prayer;
Her snow-white hands together pressed
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling with the charms ii hid.
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped a bare aud snowy foot,
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like snowflake soft and mute;
And then from slumbers soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from Heaven,
She bowed that young and matchless form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
Oh. God If souls as pure as these
Need daily mercy from thy throne
II she upon her Bonded knees,
Our hottest and purest one
She. with face so clear and bright.
We deem her some stray child OF light
If she, with those soft eyes and tears,
Day after day in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from Thee,
How hardly, il she win not Heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgiven!

WAsaISeros, oct. THE following on
cial correspondence, relative to. the trial o.
JEFF. Davis, was made public this evening"
EXECUTIVE MANSION, I
~ eg1Qa wAsHrSeToS, Oct. 1866.
Sra: A special term of the Circuit Cour,
Of the United States was appointed for the
first Tuesday of October, 1855, at Richmond
Va, for the trial Of JEFF. Davis on the charge
Of treason. 1t now appears there win be nc
session of that court at Richmond during
the present month. and doubts are expressed
whether the regular term, which, by law,
should commence on the fourth Monday oi
November will be held. In view of this in.
struction, and the consequent delay in pro.
ceeding with the trial of JEFF. Davis, now
pending in that court, and there being, SO
far as am informed, no good reason why
the civil courts of the United States are not
competent to exercise adequate jurisdiction
within the district or circuit in which the
State Of Virginia is included, Ideem it prop
er to request your opinion as TO what further
steps If any, should be taken by the Execu.
tive with view to speedy, public and i'm
partial trial of the accused, according to the
customs and laws of the United States.

might be tried upon the Indictment found
against him in the United States Circuit
Court held st Norfolk in May last. Two
reasons have Influenced me in not taking any
step for moving him from their custody.
The one relates to the safe-keeping and
the other to his own personal comfort and
neaith. have never had any doubt bui
that he would be delivered TO the United
States Marshal for the district whenever he
should have demanded him, on capias OF
any other civil process. But you can readi.
y understand that so soon as he goes into
the hands of that officer upon any action
had by me his place of confinement would

tress Monroe all necessary precautions can
be. and are, taken to prevent his escape
Over the internal police of State jail the
Marshal has no authority, and the custody
OF the prisoner could not be secured save at a
very great expense. Hbae ,. ...
Mr.. Davis is now In as comfortable quar-
tiers as the most of those occupied by the
army officers of the fort. The location Is a
healthy vne. His family have free access to
him. He has full opportunity for exercise
In the open air. IL his health be feeble, re-
move him to one Of the State jails, and his
condition, instead OF being bettefed, would
in all respects be much for the worse. His
counsel probably understands all this, and I
think will not be likely to take any steps
which would decrease the personal comforts
or endanger the life of their client. have

Affecting Scene.

The Richmond Enquirer of a recent date
has the following: An affecting scene took
place a few days ago at the police station,
which melted more than one stern heart to
tears. A young man of respectable connex-
ions had been arrested for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct, and was raying like a
maniac in his cell, when his aged mother at
tired in widows weeds, entered the station
house, and requested to be allowed an inter-
view. The request was granted, and she
stood face to face with her erring son. The
surprise almost sobered him for a moment
and he greeted her with maudlin tenderness,
but the demon of intoxication soon broke
forth in fresh rawlings. The mother endeav-
ored to calm and soOthe him, but without
avail his dalled ear was deaf even to the
tones OF maternal love, and retiring from the
cell she sank into chair while the sobs so
long choked down burst forth with passion
ate vehemence for her son-her fallen son,
her fond hopes and pride, the prop and stay
OF her old age-for whom she would will
ingly have laid down her life. For two
hours her uncomfortable agitation had full
sway, and then, with effort at calmness she
departed.
II was a scene which none could view
without emotion, and spoke In thunder
tones of the evils Of strong drink. For
your own sake, for your mothers sake, for
Gods sake, spurn the intoxicating bowl

More Cotton Factories at the South.

We are pleased to see that the attention Of
our people is being earnestly directed towards
the erection of cotton factories. At Pratt.
willie, fourteen miles from Montgomery, upon
Swift creek, the factory Of Mr.. Daniel Pratt
is already in operation, givgin occupation to
three hundred and fifty laborers, men, women
and children. One mile above Prattville.
upon the same creek, Is the site of the new
factory being established by our fellow-citi-
zens, Messrs. Munter L Faber, the machinery
for which has just been received from Liver
pool. r. s E...r -.-.-. ....a.. o.
At Autaugaville, twenty-five miles from
Montgomery, preparations are being made
to resume operations at the factory upon
Autauga creek, and in few weeks we may
expect TO hear the hum of the spindles.
These three factories of Autauga, upon
creeks which supply an unfailing water
power, will give employment to not less
than twelve hundred men, women and
children.
A company Of capitalists is examining the
falls of the Coosa above Wetumpka, with a
view to erect an extensive factory at that
future Lowell of the South. This will be
but the pioneer of others, for the situation at
Wetumpka being once developed, nothing
can prevent that village from becoming the
manufacturing seat Of Alabama. ~ 81
The admirable water power at Tallassee
has already invited the enterprise Of a -four
ishing manufacturing company, which is at
present increasing its machinery and extend.
ing its sphere Of usefulness and profit.

Ireland and England.

Although ireland ana England are nom-
inally "united' in one kingdom, yet it is
against the law for Irishmen to enroll them
selves in volunteer companies for defence of
their country, as the English do. And for
Irishmen to train or drill, or be trained or
drilled-even without arms--is made fel-
ony, punishable by transportation, by an act
Of Parliament which does not apply to En-
gland, Scotland or Wales. Since the year
1909, when the so-called union was effected.
very many acts of Parliament have been
passed relating to the possession and use OF
arms in Ireland, all calculated TO keep the
great mass If the people unarmed. But no
part of this code applies to England, Scot
land or Wales. 1t Is against the law for
Irishmen in Ireland TO take counsel together
touching their own public affairs by purpose.
But this disability does not exist in England,
Scotland or Wales The above mentioned
laws--to prohibit conventions Of delegates,
to restrict the possession of arms, and to
punish training and drilling--serve TO pre-
vent Irishmen both from authoritative con-
sultation and from effectual action In their
own public affairs. None of those laws ap-
ply 10 Englishmen, who are nevertheless
styled our fellow-citizens. In England, trial
by Jury means trial by twelve of the neigh
bors impartially empanneiled, without refer
ence 10 creed or politics. But in Ireland,
when man is charged with anything
styled political offence, then trial by jury
means arraignment before twelve particular
persons carefully selected by the government
out Of It's own partisans.
