NEW PRINTING PRESs.-Thcro
has Just been completed and put NJ
running order Mt the Government
Printing Office, says the Washing
ton Intelligcncer, one Of the most
wonderful pieces Of mechanism in
the shape Of n printing press that
has ever been exhibited. The press
is of the Bullock patent, and rs an
exhibition of some Of its powers, we
will mention The press will pring
in one hour /20,0 900 sheets of g.
pages Of document matter; while
doing this it feeds itself, the paper
being in rolls, vets the paper, cuts
the sheets, folds them, and by q dial
connected to the press keeps tally
Of the number Of sheets printed
Only two mon are required to have
entire control of the press, thus do
ing away with tho necessity Of per.
sons TO supply it with sheets, Cor, as
they are called, fecders.) The in
vcntion is certainly n wonderful one,
and has been visited since Wednes-
day by a large number of persons,
who could not realize the power
and utility Of the machine.
We understand that Mr.. Parsons,
pressman at the Office, has been en-
gagged to set up and have charge of
one of these presses at the Paris
Exhibition.

While we certainly favor ofgan-
ization under tho Sherman bill, ut
the proper time, we see nothing that
can be done until the way shall have
been officially prepared; A conven-
ton will be called, most probably
through the Governor Of the State,
at the earliest practicable period
after the settlement of all the nee
cssary preliminaries. Meantime let
the people be patient and hopeful !
and, if they will take our advice,
they will believe that there is n
good providence at work in the at
fairs of the South and Of the coun-
try at present. While some profess
to see nothing but darkness visi4
bic, it orcurs to US that we can per-
ceive the g!immerings of the dawn
of II better day than we have seen
for many years. Conservatism is
at last uppcrmost--not, iudeetf,
without having been much "touzled"
and semcdeal injured in the scUtfc.
But che wounds will heal, and new
and better garments are, perhaps,
already on the loom.
Let us add that if the people do
elect to organize under the bill they
should act without unnecessary
grumbling, in perfect good fiitF.
and, in place of scowling upon the
negro voter, should endoayor to
help him to make wise use of this
new privilege. Gal. News.

We passed last Sunday at the
Lunatic Asylum,Fit being our first
visit to that Institution or any 9th
cr of the kind. We love to assoei-
ate with the beautiful and happy,
and we shrink back from the con-
temptation of deformity and misery
Consequently we have avoided
through life, as much as possible,
hospitals of any sort, but we felt it a
duty, as an editor, to visit this es-
tabiishment, so near and cGpvenient
TO our city, and be able to form some
opinion Of its present condition and
usefulness. DR.. Beall, the gentle
manly Superintendent, was kind e.
nough to send in his carriage for
some official friends, and we accept
ed his polite invitation to aecompa-
ny them.
The building, although but about
an eighth part of the original de-
sign, by John Stewart, architect Of
Philadelphia, is yet creditablein size

THE DIsFRANoHIsEMENT.-Ihe
Picayune remarks that there seems
to be a great want Of knowledge of
the military bill. Some think that
all who were Confederates, or in
the Confederate service, are dlsiran-
chised; but this is not the case;
1t is only those who held Office
under the United States Govern
ment, members of legislatures, etc,
and took an official oath to support
the constitution of the United
States. that are disfranehised. All
others can vote for members Of the
convention, and for candidates for
offices; none can be members Of the
convention, nor hold office under
the Federal or State Government,
ex:;ea,,t 4,,ch as shall take the test
oath Of Jaly, 1862, which is, that
tho officer neither aided, assisted or
sympathized with the Confederacy,
etc. SO that while nearly all the
Confederates can vote they cannot
hold office. They kept, however,
the right of selection among those
who are candidates for the conven-
ton and for office, and this is a
very important privilege, which
they should be careful to improve.
There were before the war at
least 81, 900 qualified voters in Lou
isiana. Not more. than 2,0O0votors
had taken the oath to support the
constitution of the United States,
and not more than 1900 have been
killed, whose places have not been
supplied by youths under age ma
turing into voters, SO that we may
safely assume that there are now
at least $4,000, if not 60,0O0 white
men in the State capable of qualiti-
cation TO vote under the late act OF
Congress.
Taking these figures to be correct,
it is evident that the control OF the
Convention can be obtained by the
white residents of the State to the
exclusion of the Radicals.

Small Number Of Marriages - Significance
thereof General impoycri>hmcnt-Eonlni
Council.
pETERSRrRG. Decembr 2, 1861,

PETERSBURG, Decembr 2, 1861.
If, according To the writer's on pOpula-
ton, the prosperity OF a country is to he
measured by the number of marriages,
the difficulty OF making adequate proyi-
sion for the family must he very great III
this immediate community. The white
people OF this city number abouJ eleven or
twelve Thousand, and the marriage licenses
taken out by this class during the past
month did not exceed aght-which is less
than one for every thousand. And so it
has been for several months past. Nor
has it been much if any better among
the negroes. Their number cannot
be less than seventeen or eighteen
thousand, and the records OF the month
make an exhibit in their favor of only
twelve marriages, or about the same III
proportion as the whites. Considering,
however, the improvidence OF these peo-
pie, and the irregular manner iii which the
relations of man and wife are often con-
tractcd, it is difficult to believe that the
number of alliances, legal and illegal, is
actually SO small. Still they are treading
fast on the heels of the white people, and
every negro who has any pride or respect
for,himself likes TO celebrate his marriage
with appropriate festivities.
In better times the marriages of whites
in this city were about three times as many
as at prescut-say from twenty to thirty
on the average of months. The falling OIL
has been woful indeed. We might account
for it partly by the loss Of our young men
during tue war; but after all allowances,
the deficit eau only be explained, in chic
part, by the general inability to provide
comfortable establishments and dclray the
current expenses OF the family.
But this lanentaOlc state OF affairs is not
peculiar to this or that city, or to any par
ticular section of orr country. Ii Is be-
leved to prevail very extensively through
the South. The prophet, i'll mourning
over the desolaton of Judea, speaks OF
the maidenS not being given i'll marriage as
one of the consequences OF 1t. SO 1t Is In
our own case. la our impoverished con-
dition there are few to ask for their hands
in wedlock, and 4 pail is hanging over the
land.
Nor can We expect the circumstances Of
the country 10 improve as loug as the bas-
tard governments nov inproceSs of eStab-
lishment shall continue in force. The in
security of property, and the Punishment
from the public counSels of half the intel
ligence of the State TO make room for corn
field negroes, BODIES nothing but evil and
disuuietude.
The Common Council has been in regu-
lar session this afternoon, but no subject OF

Vhe Autumn Of the Heart.

From st. James Magazine.
The corr bows its head to the sickle,
The nightingale's murmur is hushed,
Rain tears from the arbutus 'rlckle,
Beech fruits in the forest lie crushed
We have fought, but the battle is ending,
we are wounded and sick from the light,
Blue shadows around rs descending
Breathe kisses Of night.
We have journeyetl, not needing our danger
Cried in wild supplication above
We have loved till our eyes lost their anger,
And hearts became sleepy Win loNe.
Red roses are dying which wrcathed ns,
Wearc STAMPED with the iron that seers;
Dead love in compassion bequeatheu us
Its relic of tears.
All me, but the summer was pleasant
Shall we die and lie dreaming again!
Would we yield the dull days OF the present
For an hour of the past and its pain
DO we hunger for kisses tina: stung us
Or long for the lips that have lied:
Must we stoop for the gauntlet they've hunG
us?
Weep? creep to their side
We cringe to these sewers OF sorrow,
We cry for Il blighted caress:
We dream for night; on the morrow
We gather the tares Of dis tres
We bow 10 orr grief and priEatlon
We pay for the pleasures that cloy;
Our work is 10 build the foundation
They love to destroy.
Oh women with hearts trimming DER
With passions we never can feel,
The world is too weak to discover
The mystical love you conceal.
Our sorrow, not ours, the reprorlng,
Your triumph, and ours the defeat,
Our lives are made bitter from loving,
WHY are you so sweet?
