SONG.
BIZ PAUL II. HAYNB.

O! to be, by the sea, the sen,
While fresh North-wester's blowing,
With 4 swirl on the leo, of cloud-foam free |;
And spring-tide deeply flowing:
With the low moon clear and large
O'er the flushed horizons marge,
And little pink hand in mine,
On the sands in the long moonshine
O! to be, by the sea, the sea-.
With the wind full West, and dying,
With single star Ger tho misty Bar,
And the dim waves dreamily signing !
o. to be there, but there,
With my sweet Love nesting near,
Near, near, till her heart-throbs blend with
mine,
Thro' tho balmy hush of the Nights decline,
On the glimmering beach in the soft star-shinc !!

Keen Awav from the Polls.

IF not the first in Georgia, this journal was
among the very first to counsel the people to
keep away from the polls at the coming elec-
ton for or against Convention. We did
not agree with our esteemed contemporary,
the Chronicle tC: Sentinel with regard to its
game Of " hedging,'' or, to be more explicit,
the policy of voting for delegates and ab-
staining from vote on the question OF Con-
venion. We doubted the good effect Of any
such programme and advocated stlaight-
out abandonment of the entire matter We
feel convinced that every ballot for delegates
alone will be null and void, and although such
notification would amount to . practical
abandonment of the contest, it would prevent
the true people of the State from nsakinga
clear division of parties and securing a recog-
milton of those achites aoho have hitherto a0lia-
ted aoitG the negroes, in disguise. 1t is desir.
able to know these gentry, and the only way
to obtain that knowledge is BY keeping a'uay
from tile polls. The Loyal Georgian cabal
has boasted that there are more than four
hundred whites in Augusta bound to the
Loyal League; let US test the truth of this
assumption by keeping a,cay from the polls.
Such course is the best one demanded by
the present situation and one, too, calculated,
not only to defeat the Radical plot, but like.
wise to unmask the Radical plotters. 1t is
one thing to sneak into midnight assem-
blaee and another thing to show your colors
in open daylight. A full exposure can only
be accomplished by keeping aray from tile
polls.
We presume, as matter of course, that
our contemporary desired to have some Of
the best men in Convention, in case such
conclaye should be called. But, if We do not
mistake the meaning of the Supplemental
Bill, it is not permissible to vote for delegates
without voting FOR or against the Convention.
The supplement to the Military Bill requires,
in its third section, that votes for or against
a Convention shall be written or printed on
tie ballots for delegates. In Virginia, Gener-
eral Sch5fcld has issued an order enjonlDg
this Interpretation. Hence, there can be on
ly one ticket, and that ticket must be as pre-
scribcd. If hcdsed" or bob-tailcd--if torn
in half or shorn Of its authorized proportions
If erased as to the words for or against
Convention. such ticket will be illegal and
spurious.
We trust cur able contemporary will lock
shields with us on this important question.
No possible good can eycntuate from voting
Q lnutiIatcd and illegal ticket, but, on the con-
trary, very considerable complications may
arise. Some of these complications we have
pointed out; others will be noticed in due
season. Meanwhile, we say to tne white
people Of the State Vote .1or' neither dele
ga'c nor Conrcntion; keep a,oay from the
po!is altogs,AM.-C CoastRuliaualist.

question:
The answer can be given in few words I;
God has 80 made tie sexes that women, Like
children, cling to men; lean upon them for
protection, care and love; lock up to them
is though they were superior in mind and
BODY. They make them the suns of their
systsm, and they and their children reyo!!vs
around them Men arc gods if they but
knew it, and women burning incense at their
shrines. Women. therefore, who have good
minds and pure hears. want men TO lean pom.
Think Of their r=vercncing a drunkard, liar,
fool, or libe-tinel
If a man would have q woman do him
homage, he must be manly in every sense, a
true gentleman, not after the Chesterfield
school, bet polite because his heart is full oil
kindness to all; one who treats her with re-
spect, even Difference, because she is woman
who never condesconds to say silly things to
her; who brings her up to his level if bis
mind is above he ; who is never over anx'

DROWNING Our a TEyASr.-A Richmond
landlord h4d . tenant who was said to be
backward in paying her rent--a misfortune
thatis not always crime. He gave her no
tce to quit, to which she paidl. no attention
and after various Intellectual efforts to get pos
session of bis property, he finally hit upon
the following expedient to drown his tenant
out. He bored an anger hole in the floor over
the the roopl in which she dwelt and then insert
ing funnel OVERT commenced PSs1ng water
down upon her devoted head, with the m lnton, n.
ton of filling the room and forcing her to
leave. A perfect deluge came through the
tunnel, covering the floor TO the depth of q
foot or more, and forcing the inmate of the
lower chamber to flee from the premises, lite
rally to fake water" She expos,tulated with
her landlord, who, according to her account,
assaulted and threatened her with violence,
for which she had him arrested. He was held :
in the sum of SlO0 for his appearance before
the Mayor To answer for tho assault.

PoLIrTcaL PRospEcTs.-We give below an
article from the New York Nation (RadicaD,
which. it will be seen, admits tnar the Demo
cra!slaill carry New Yorl; by majority OF
from, seven to fifteen thousand votes. It says
The losses which the Republican party has
sustained in every election that has occurred
during this year, amounting to positive de-
feats. in Connecticut, California and Pennsyl-
fania, and less equivalent 10 defeat in
Ohio make it necessary to survey the whole
field, aud consider dispas.ionately what po-
liticaF course the country is likely to take,
what probability there is Of the restoration OF
the eDemocrats to power, ard what elect such
an esent.may have upon the country.
sFhe actual losses Of the Republicans arc
Governor in each Of the States Of Cornecti-
ut.jand California, seven members OF the
House @; Representatives, and two United
States Senator's. The Gilninulion 0! the Re
publican majority ii the States which have

Vermont, 1000 in Rhode Island, l.500 in
Connecticut. 10000 in Pennsylvania, 10000
in Ohio, 10000 in Iowa, and l5;0O0 in Calf
fo.nia There is every reason to suppose that
the States which hold elections in Noveipbar
will increase this figure 10 100000, or about
one-haif Of the entire Republican majority iii

Counties OF Albany, Rensselaer,, ard 81. Law

1000 votes; in eaci Of a-dozen strong Re-
publican. counties, such as Aliesany, Cayusa,

A few nights since We were sitting at our

men on the opposite side Of the square
were amasing themselves by singing and
playing some Of the popular pieces of the
day. In the number, we recognized q
splendid tenor and soprano, and a deep,
full toned bass voice. All seemed to be
uncultigated, yet they executed some Of
the finest choruseso Of the day with a taste
and precision that would have been no dis

New Commissioner

Capt. r. J. SHERIDAN, from Nashville,
has been appointed Commissioner of Reg
istration for Giles county. He called to see
US yesterday and requested Us to announce
that be would open his Office in the court
house to-day at half past eight, and keep
open every day until the goth Of July, when
he will be compelled to close in order to get
his reports up 10 time. He says be will
have a sufficient number Of clerks to ena-
bic him to issue about two hundred certif-
Gates per day, and desires those entitled to
registration to come forward at once.
We are glad to hear the Captain talk so
much like he is disposed to do the fair
thing. but for the life Of US we can't see
how he will be able, under the law, to is
sue certificate to single man in Giles
county. The law requires that an appli-
cant shall be recommended by two men
who are known to the Register to have
been unconditional Union men throughout
the war. This gentleman comes among us,
as we have been informed, complete stran-
ger, not knowing, Of his own knowledge,
that there was single unconditional Union
man in the county. How viii he be able
to proceed.
We have no objections to urge against
Capt. SHERIDAN He seems to conduct
himself as a gentleman, and talks as if he
is disposed TO deal justly; but it does ap-
pear a little strange to US that a man should
be imported who is a total stranger to our
citizens to I'll this position. It strikes US
that if there is an Internationally loyal
Brownlow man in the county. he ought to
have been appointed, and if there is not
there is no sense in having Register at
all
Why don't Brownlow just appoint men
10 hold the elections, backed by his militia.
and swear them by the holy spoons but
ler's, not to let any but unconditional rad
icals' vote, and do away with this ex-
pensiye farce Of having register at alp
