How LITERATURE PAYs.-We have grown so
accustomed to listening TO the denunciations
from British authors on the pirate publishers
of America we are inclined to accept as true
their bill of grievances. The fact is, however,
that many of the most respectable publishing
houses always pay foreign authors most lioe-
rally for their works. Let us instance the case
of Charles Dickens. Since the appearance OF
the "PickwiclS Papers" Messrs. Harper have
always paid to Mr.. Dickens a large sum In
gold for the privilege of publishing in advance
the various tales ofthat author in serial form.
After they have been completed, T. B. Peter.
son & Bros, ofethis city, by repaying to Harper
half the total expense, secures the co'u-
pleted stories, and Issues them in book form,
To show that the amounts paid were not paltry,
we find that he was paid for "The Tale OF Two
Cities" $1,000 for "Great Expectations Gl25O
and for Our Mutual Friend" another $1,000,
making total for three works of over $4,000 in
gold, or S24 600 in greenbacks. The total am Dunt
paid for his various works by Harper and
Peterson exceeds S60, 900. We notice that Messrs
Ticknor & Fields have also sent him q sum for
the Diamond Edition of G200

THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER.

Our land is dotted from end to end with soldiers
graves, and many of the simple head-bo above
them bear this inscription Unknown Soldier
of - Corps or Regiment, with the name of tn
field on which he fell,
In little lowly hillock, where the South wind
softly sighs,
There his weary marches DER, there the unknown
soldier lies
Never more the drum shall wake him! sleeping
there beneath the sod,
Never till the flesh shall quicken at the sounding
trump of God.
Whence he came, or where enlisted in the army
of our land,
Where he ,ught or where he rested at the lead
ers stern command.
Where, at lsst, his warfare ended-these little
know care
Hero he died for Freedom, counting not his
hearts blood dear
This know; A mother bore him, loved him with
her holy love,
Many night she wakened for him, many prayer
she cent abOvei
1t may be, she watches sadly. for the foot that
Never! never shall tread lightly DER the dear
old household floor.
Some one wife, perchance, sister-buttoned
first the faded coat,
That his life's blood stained with crimson, when
the cannon's fiery throat
Flashed the swift grim death to thousands, fall
ing as the brave can fall,
When they sacrifice to Freedom, grandly giving
up their all.
Friend, for those dear ones who loved thee, in thy
home so far away,
For the vacant chair that neer shall be filled again
for aye!
For the flag that waved above thee, in the thick
est of the fight
Here weave my mournful chaplet gallant sol,
dier of the Right
Softly may the seasons wrap thee winter, with
his stainless snow;
Spring, with fairy fingers DER thee all her sweetest
blossoms thrOWi
Summer, with her heart of fire, fling her roses
DER thy rest,
And the Autumn winds their requiem wall above
thy silent breast.
Unknown soldier of my country unknown brother
q my hearti
Let nations grief embalm thee let nations
love have part
In his grave, green and lowly for children's
babes shall weep,
Tears of grateful fond affection where the lana's
defenders sleep.

Rocky MoUNT.-This is fourishing lit

and is the point of junction of the branch
Road leading to Tarboro'. There is no or
ganized Baptist Church at Rocky Mount
and not many Baptists there. Still those
wko are there are aiming to secure preach
ing at least once a month, and wish also to
organize church, This is very impor-
tant point, and should be occupied at once.
I remained here only one day and took oc-
casion to visit the cotton mills of VIM. S.
Battle, ESQ.,, at the Falls, about mile from
the Depot. These mills were burned by
the enemy during the war but have been
rebuilt, with new machinery, &C., and are,
I ruppose, the finest in the South. When
entirely finished the cotton, Touring mills,
&C., will have cost about $4,000 The
cotton mills will run about SO looms and
l, 400 spindles, and will turn out about l,
500 yards of cloth per day. About GO
hands will be kept constantly employed at
average wages of 81 SO per week.-Corr.

The Fall of MIR. stanton.


By the official correspondence published
this ~ in the Intelligercer, it will be seen
that the President has suspended the func-
ton of Hon. Edwin NJ Stanton as Secre-
tary of War up to (under the law twenty
days ter the meeting of the Senate at It's
next session. Meanwhile, or al interim,
General Grant is to do the duties of Secre-
tarv of War.
Th period, as to Mr.. Stanton. one hun
dred days, is a long one in American poll
tics President making is now rife, and
when Congress meets the Secretaryehlp OF
War will be parcelled out by politicians in
an infinite variety of complications. In the
hundred days referred to Mr.. Stanton will
have abundant time for repentance, for
deep sorrow that "all the ends he aimed
at were not for his country, rather for that
party and personal ambition which have
brought to their bloody feet unnecessarily
protracted war, disastrous losses IN cam
pdgns of battles, national debt of noun
famous proportion, untold suffering OF
prisoners of war by Withholding from them
the aid dictated by the cOmmOnest sympa-
thies between man and man, and practl-
Cal continuance of the war upon the pros
tra5e Southern people, even to this day
Under such circumstances, who in the hun
dred days that intervene between now and
the assembling of Congress is to bow at the
shrine of Edwin M. Stanton Who, and
where are they, tina tare to raise his down
trodden banners, and carry them on the
points of their swords to victory ? Now,
like Wolesey, he may say
Farewell long farewell, to ell my greatness !!
This is the state of man to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honOrs thick upon him
The third comes FROST killing frost;
And-when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a ripening-nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do

The Postmaster General.

We have authority for saying that the
report telegraphed hence to the Northern
press, that the Postmaster General enter
tains or has expressed an intention of re-
signing, is without the least foundation
So, also, are all rumors of diversity of po-
htical views between him and the Presi-
dent.
While correcting these errors, we might
as well put at rest other misstatements. Mr..
Randall does not contemplate visiting Eu-
rope. General Skinner, the acting Post
master General, has received letter from
him, il which he says he will be at his post
on Tuesday. His lady has been in i'll health
but has recovered, and his business now in
New York is to send his nephew to Europe
to accompany her home.

ERAILTY OF MIND.


JfI could rise and tell, combined
The thoughts which occupy my mind,
'Twould be task indeed,
For every foolish, idle thing
Into my mind is sure to spring,
And there it stays to breed.
Sometimes while in my health, think
That fortune with my fate should link,
And pleasure be my friend:
Another thought then strikes LlS lniiiu'
That fortunes way is hard 10 nnu'
Which does my feelings reno.
Tn fact. when well, I'm not content;
I think my life about half spent;
Fen 1 should see old age.
My wishes I at once desire,
My patience then begins to tire,
NY passions in a rage.
When get i'll, I think for sure
That others do not such endure,
Nor such affections see;
To gain aught to help me ON
Is why it g served on me.
But musing on, at length there springs
A thought into my mind, that DflnSs
Consolation to my heart;
A thought which with the others strive,
And whispers thus: revive, revive,
can't from you depart
And since that thought [ did inspire,
NY mind seems elevated higher,
And more content am l,
1t seemed to say, there's one ABOVE
Who does His children deeply love;
Just look to Him and cry.
To Him belongs the boon of health,
And de alone can grant you wealth;
Ask Him, and you'll receive
bOunty of all that IS reOulred;
Yes, every needful thing desired
To you He'll freely give
o, may Inever think again :
Nav thoughts so foolish and so vain
Be banished from my mind;
But may ever thiuk OF He
Who sent His Son to die for me,
As well as all mankind.
And when get DISTRESSED i'll mind,
I'll look to Him and comfort find,
Such as will say to me:
Move on, my child, your course pursue,
am your guide, I'll help you through;
I'll ever stand by thee.
And when my course on Earth is run,
I'll pray to Him, that through His Son
He'll take me up on nigh,
And there with angels sweetly sing
Anthems to our Redeemer, King,
Who did for sinners die.
