Autumn DAYS.

When autumn days come, Natue,
like retired merchant changes its
mauner--from thrift and busting in.
dustry to languid losure and unOsten.
tatious luxury. The sun rises earlier
and sets later than when it had all the
summer crops on hand, and was play
ing universal husbaudman. There is
no nest building, and no birds singing
now,--which is purely domestic ar,
rangement' designed on the birds part
to keep peace in the family while the
children are being raissd' and laid aside
as soon as ever the young birds are of
their hands. Mornings come Aeeced
in mists, which hang over streams ana
low moist places. The sun plays with
them but they perish in his arm. A
few belated flowers yet keep watch, but
chiefly the astors, which bring all the
fields, star the edges Of forests, and, like
the late Gomez at feast, seem bent up
on making up lost time. At night the
crickets and katydids scrape their shrill
viols, and fill the air with tremulous
music. Over all the shrinking fields
the trees lift up their gorgeous foliage
like those who wait for the marriage
aud the bridegroom, they shine out in
gorgeous apparel.-Beechers Nor'coOd.

A Squadron for Our New Russian Possessions

The United States steamfrigate Sara

Thatcher, commanding the North Pa.

her arrival it is thought the jamestown
will be sent North, so as to thoroughly
disinfect the ship from any possible
lingering remnant of the terrible yel-
low fever, which has made such sad
havoc among her officers and crew. AS
the jamestown is roomy vessel for a
sloop-of war, and is in good repair, she
would make au excellent guard Or har-
Dor ship for the port of Stilka. The
Navy Department, we understand, has
in contemplation the making up of a
small squadron Of two or three vessels
for duty on the coast of our new pos.
sessions. With the jamestown, in adj
dition to the United States revenue cut.
ter Lincoln, already preparing for that
purpose, could be added the steamer
Saginaw and the lighthouse steamer
Shubrck. To these snall steamers
could be assigned the duty Of thorough
ly examining the whole coast, of which
so little row seems to be known. The
Russian Indians. as well as those of the
neighboring islands, are both numerou;
and warlike, and exploring parties vii

In the case of Surratt, ON the 9th,
Judge Fisher ruled to let stand as evi-
dence against the prisoner the testimony
about the attack upon the Vice-Presi-
dent and Secretary Seward, and also
that relating to shooting Union soldiers
escaping from rebel prisons, &c. He
conSidered these things part Of general
and preconceutrated plan to murder the
President and overthrow the Governs
ment. Fisher seems determined to
make himself worthy of the position to
which he was appointed through parti.
san motives. 1t will be remembered
that few years ago, the Rump Congress
finding no other method of " loyalfLing'

creating the court, and then made ;
new act, under which Fisher and two
other Radical politicians were appoint
ed by Lincoln. They are Of a piece
