There is not the remotest hope or nrcba-
bilty Of the Southern States being restored

degrade ourselves, ard give up our dearest

wear manaclcs, let them be put on by our
tyrauts, not by ourselves. Ii man threat

him to kick you at once and be done with it.
We have lived already two years under mil.

How GEN. S1cKLEs' ORDER No. 10 IS RE-
cEIyEp.-Thc Columbia PhGni1 comments as
follows upon Order No. 10:
The Order brings a measure of reFiefto the
debtors throughout the State which the, will
hail with Joy. Sundry efforts had been made
to effect the same object by our State legis,
lation, but the Court of Errors pronounced
stay laws of any kind unconstitutional. Under
the impoverished condition of this State, Re
large amount of debt and interest accruing,
the Order comes to US in time to save proper
ty and set all who are disposed to recuper:'c
earnestly to work and to make all they can to
save the suffering people Of the State.
The Wilmington Journal says:
1t combines the elements Of q remedial
Act, repeating Act, and new Law. 1t IS
intended, as will be perceived by the eloquent
preamble, as measure OF relief to the people.
It will have a .delnoralzng effect upon law
yers, if such a thing is possible, but We do
not hesitate to say that we approve both the
spirit and letter cfthis law, as far as it affords
relief to deserving debtors. We do not know
why the punishment of burglary should be
changed, but laws in favor of life are becem-
ing much enlarged Of late years. 1t is Father
a new way to legislate, but we, will have to
get used TO that. Upon the whole, we do not
regret the publication of this ORDER aud hope
it may be of wide spread benefit to the people,

From the ST. Louis Democrat, april 9Th.

We are called upon to rcc'rd the deliber-
ate se!fdestruction of a seamstress who was
driven to desperation by poverty and inabill-
ty to earn livelihood. The unhappy victim
was Annie Durham, a young lady Of good
character, who has lived in the city for the
past three years, earning a precarous subs's'
tcqcc by sewing. She had recently done
some work for lady, and received her pay,
but lost the money, and was now out OF work.
But one course remained for her, and that
was to go to service as house maid. This
was greatly against her inclination, and ratl-
er than beud her pride TO such haenial EN-
ployment, she resolved upon self-destruction.
Failing to obtain laudanum in the house, she
procured a sharp razor, and,' after going to
bed, used the weapon with fatal aid instan-
eous effect, cutting her throat from ear to car.
The windpipe, the jugular vein and the caro-
lid artery were severed at one stroke, and
death ensucd Immediately; and before sue
had time to struggle, or even to remove her
hand from before her throat.

Magdalen.

Lift her up, men, from her slumber,
Lift her up gently, pray;
Once she was stainless and lovely,
Sinless, and fair rs the day;
But in the ways of the erring
Early her footsteps we're led;
And her life's pathway was downward,-
No,r she's at rest with the dead.
Turn the white face to the sunlight!
All! what cold beauty is there!
Cold as 6. statue in marble,
White, and exquisitely fair
Who. if they looked at the features,
Hiding tho darkness within,
o! who could think of such beauty,
Linked to such hidcous sin?
Smooth back the hair from the forehead,
Yellow and shining as gold;
See through its soft, silken meshes,
Sunshine wove in with zach fold
Somewhere I have seen,, remember,
A face that was straRgly like this! =.
Ah know now-one sweet summer,
Sweet with delirious bliss!
Now when I look back toward it
That sweetest summer of life
How ruy heart stirs with emotion!
Tears and my pride are at strife.
She that knew was MS sinless,
Pure, and as good as child,
.s this her lfe-wreck before me,
Sin-tarDished, scorned and defled!
OH what story of sorrow
Clings to this wreck Of soul
Trial, temptation and struggles -
'Gainst fate too stern to control
Is there mist DER the morning
Somehow my sight has grown dim,
While I have looked on this pale face,
Sad us burial hymn!
Cover the face from the sunlight
Hide her away from the day;
God, in His merciful pity,
Grant her His pardon, pray!
Great WAS her sin and her error
God has more pity than man,
He can forgive oil the SHINING
OF even poor Magdalen.

have been satisfactory to any one. The Times

As we feared, the large discretion left in
the hands of tie Registers, and the action to
which it has given rise, have created very
general feeling of dissatisfaction among our
people. Cnless the course adopted by the
registering officers has been sadly misrepre-
sented, they have carried into the performance
OF grav, public duty their. own partisan
prejudices, and many of their decisions are
so manifestly illegal that unless revised and
reconsidcrcd, they will amount to practical
denial of justice to the great-mass of the white
