Hon. Albert VOORHEES, Lieutenant Governor Of Louisi
ana, New Orleans:
A heavy press Of business has prevented%n earlier

have in the public prints letter which | wrote
short time since, the general political situation.
sent you copy of the Montgomery Advertiser which
contains the letter
1t seems to me that it is the true feeling of the
Southern people to contribute their best Influence, in
favor of earl organisation Of their respective
States in accordance with the requirements of the
cent reconstruction act. Congress claims the tight to
control this whole question. 1nmy humble Judgment
it is unwise to contend longer against power, to
struggle further against its repeatedly expressed will
am clearly Of the opinion that appeal to the
courts would accomplish no good. IF test case were
brought before the Judiciary, it would open up
res Of the most complicated questions which perhaps
engaged the attention of any tribunal.
Questions of such vast magnitude could not speedily
be disposed of. They would ne essary require much
time; and before conclusion could be reached the
Southern St1tes in all probability, would be fully
organised under the Congressional plan. Indeed the
supplemental bill provides specially for a reorgansa
ton; and the only political question is, who will par
ticpate in the work.. If the many do not cooperate
in the movement and give it proper shape, the few
will carry it to completion, and there is telling
what discrimination may be made against the non
actionsts. Very respectfully,
R. NJ PATTON,
Governor of Alabama.

ston near President Juarez and sympathiscs with him
personally, was induced, some time since, to pass
through the Imperial lines and 60 to Mexico to inter

ded to be thus appropriated. He was eraciously
granted personal interview which he tells us was
very pleasant as well as successful The Emper-
or's manner and air charmed him much Our friend
avoided addressing him as Emperor excusng himself

Robert 4. WHITE.

late Editor of the Georgia Home Gazette
On the bosom of a river
Where the sun Embossed his qulver,
Or the starlight streamed forever,
Sailed vessel light and free.
Morning dew-drops hung, like mama,
On the bright folds of her banner,
While the zephyr rose to fan hec
Softly to the radiant sea.
At her PROV, a pilot beamng
In the flush of youth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming,
Like an angel from above.
Through his hair the breezes sported,
And as on the wave he fioated
Oft that pilot, angel-thrOated,
Warbled lays of hope and love.
Through those locks 50 brightly flowing
Buds Of laurel bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing
Music from Tyre ofgold.
Swiftly down the stream he gided,
Soft thc|purple waves divided,
And q rainbow arch abldcd
On his canvas snowy fold.
Anxious hearts. with fond devotion,
Watched lin sailing to the ocean,
Praying that no wild commotlon
Midst the elements mi ght rise.
And he seemed some young Apollo
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the wateT-fags c0rolla
Trembled to his music 81 CHS.
But those purple waves encnahte4
Rolled beside Il city haunted
BY an awful spell, that daunted
Every conner to her shore.
Night-shades rank the air encumbered
Aud pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotus-ea eaters slumbered
And awoke to life no more.
Then there rushed, with lightning quickness,
Ger his face mortal sickness,
and the dews in fearful thickness
Erathnrnd Ger his ter otaS fair
And there swept dying murmur
Through the lovely Southern summer
As the beauteous pilot conner
Perished by that city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his culver,
On the starlight streams forever
On its bosom as before.
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna,
And that pilots lutte drops mama
On the purple waves no more.
