The Memorials.

The memorials in circulation in this
State, gotten up under the auspices of Mr..
Holden, we learn, are presented to white
and colored, for signatures, upon various
pleas: A very forcible plea, which has been
urged upon ignorant men, is that the sign
ers Of that petition will not be liable to the
confiscation of their lands. Appeals thus
made to their fears are inducing some to
sign, who are decidedly opposed to the
whole scheme. Hundreds have been in.
duced to sign, who are totally ignorant OF

BY ALICE CARY.

1 heard the gay spring coming,
l saw the clover blooming,
Red and white along the meadows
Red and white along the streams;
I heard the blue-bird singing,
saw the green grass springing,
All as lay a-dreamlng,
A-dreaming idle dreams.
/ heard the plowman's whistle,
l saw the rough burr thistle
In the sharp teeth of the harrow
1 saw the Summers yellow CLEANS
In the walnuts, in the fennel,
In the mulleins, lined with flannel,
All as lay a-dreaming,
A-dreaming idle dreams.
I felt the warm bright weather;
Saw the harvest-saw them gather
Corn and millet, wheat and apples
Saw the gray beans with their seams
Pressing wide, the bare armed shearers,
The ruddy water-bearers,
All as | lay a-dreaming,
A-dreaming idle dreams.
The blue bird and her nesting,
Flew away the leaves fell rustling,
The cold rain killed the roses,
The sun with drew his beams
No creature cared about me.
The world could do without me,
All as lay a-dreaming,
A-dreaming idle dreams.

Auburn, Main. Two old ladies, named
Kingsley and Caswell, respectively sixty and
seventy years of age, were found murdered

is supposed that the deed was committed
either on Wednesday or Thursday night,
during the storm. The two ladies lived
alone in the house. A man by the name OF
johnson has been arrested on suspicion and

A project for supplying London with wa

water from the meres of Cumberland and
moreland-Ulleswater in chief-and to
bring it by aqueduct culvert and tunnel to
a great reservoir near Harrow. The esti-
mated supply is two hundred and fifty mil
lion gallons daily, more than four times as
much as the metropolis now uses. But

Co. Jail-Arrest of the Sheriff and Jailors.
At jury of inquest summoned to inquire
into the cause and circumstances of the
burning of the jail, the following verdict
was rendered after four days investiga-
ton
That the twenty-five colored persons
confined in the Jail of Kingstree came to
their deaths by the burning of said Jail,
wherein they were all consumed, except
the portions of three bodies inspected by
the jury. They further found that the fire
originated between the ceiling overhead of
the second floor of the third story; that it
was communicated by some of the prison
ers confined in the Jail, but whether COM
municated by accident or desigr the jury
are unable to agree upon any conclusion
They also stated that had the jailor been in
his proper place at the Jail, and V tn the
keys in his possession, when the jail was
first discovered to be on fire, and when the
alarm had first been given, the three women
and perhaps more of the prisoners. could
have been saved and that for his neglect
and direliction of duty the sheriff and jailor
are censurable.
Lieutenant Ross, commanding the gar
rieon at this place, acting under lnstruc-
tions from General Scott, of the freedmen S
bureau, arrested Sheriff Matthews, James
P Barrineau, and J. S. Beck, on yester-
day, and sent them to Charleston this
morning. This arrest was made in conse-
quence of their being in charge of the Jail
which was recently destroyed by fire at this
place.
These officers were arrested while in dis
charge of their duty on the District Court.
