The Railroad War.

The election Of officers to manage
the affairs ofthc N. l. G. Railroad for
the next year ensuing, come offin Nash
Vile on Wednesday last. There was
much excitement, and the meeting was
not entirely harmonious. Speeches
we're made by eminent gentlemen on
both sides-that is forthe Burns Board
and for the Stephenson board. The
vote Of Charleston, amounting to about
1900, was, for reasons we have not
room now to give. cast out, and this
left q majority for the Burns ticket
But, the opposition side have made
o demand upon Mr.. Burns to turn over
the Road to them, which is regarded as
preliminary steps to a lawsuit. Never
before was there, We suppose, so much
excitement over a railroad elcction.-
Much money has been spent in election
eering for proxies, &C., and some very
i'll feeling engendercd on both Sides
We are neutral, oursclf, however, and
hope that fair management, whether on
one or the other side, will prevail. But
i, NAV DO that both sides are guilty OF
extraordinary and unkind efforts to
carry their points.

The Suns bright crest in the distant west,
With milder ray is beamin.;
While the comm. light Of the Queen Of
Night.
Ger the eastern sky is streaming.
And the lingering steps of the Summer
day.
Arc passing slowly from earth away.
Each tiny star steals out afar,
To shine in the pale blue skies.
Each bird is ut rest in it, messy nest,
And the flowers have shut their eyes;
And the night-wind q sleepy
song,
As it wanders the rustlin.g leaves among.
The crimson fades. andthe evening shades
Are mingling in soft twilight,
And our Lily flower knows well the hour
When she kisses us. good night.
So she turns to each with a childlike grace.
And a sunbeam smile Oh her little face.
Our bird will sleep while the Angels keep
Their vigil around her bed:
And may God above. in Ills tender love.
Rich blessings upon her shed;
Let gladnrss rest on her innocent brow.
Keep her heart trusting. and pure a. now.
