CAPE MAY DIAMoNDs.-The wants
of frail humanity are supposed by
some TO be fully expressed by the poet
in tho following lines:
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"

In tho following lines:
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"
This, however, does not apply as a
general rule, because it is evident
from what the poet intimated in the
foregoing lines, that he never partook
of mess of Cape May bivalves, or he
would not have written these lines.
He eitherintended his poetry for some
other latitude, or the great number Of
persons rushing to Rote's Saloon every
evening, neverread them. Those who
may be skeptical on this point, had
better call on John and find who is
mistaken, because he can tell them

REGISTRATION IN THIS SrATE.-.Judge
Aldrich, in letter to the Charleston Mer-
c,ry, urges that every man in the State
who can register his name should do so.
He says:
sSThere are other matters to be passed
upon by the country, under the military
bill, besides who shall be members of the
convention. The constitution to be framed
by that convention is to be submitted to
the people for their approval, and unless
the privilege Of voting is secured by reg
istration, the power Of the country may
be seized by designing and unscrupulou!s
men. My counsel, therefore, is, that II
will be fatal blunder not to secure TINS
high privilege. If man registers, ne is
not obliged to vote; if he fails to DO SO,
he will not be permitted to exercise this
great franchise.

A BEAUTIFUL THoUaHT.-Whcn gaze
into the stars, they look down upon me
with pity from their serene spaces, like
eyes glistening with tears, over the little
lot of man. Thousands OF generations, all
as noisy as our own, have been swallowed
up by time, and there remains no record
of them any more; yet Arcturus and Or
ion, Sirius and the Pleides, are still shin
ing in their courses, clear and young as
when the shepherd first noted them from
tho plain of Shinar. What shadows we
are, and what shadows we pursue!

Nor OPPOSED TO ASKING FOR PAR
poS-Thc Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald writes:
1t is now said that Jefferson Davis is
not averse to pet;tioning President John
son for pardon. The statement publish
eG before, to the effect that the ex-rebcl
President was tco proud to acknowledge
the error Of his ways, and too lofty to
stoop to the humiliation of petition,
would, therefore, seem to be erroneous.
am informed that Mr.. Davis lately told
prominent Louisianian that he, would
gladly sue for pardon, if he could only
think his effort would plovea success.
President Johnson, it is believed, would
willingly grant full pardon to the fallen
chief on the presentation of a proper Pc
tition. l have to-day seen copy OF
petition. signed bv several Southern men
OF the Sharkey Monroe stamp, praying
Execntiye clemencv in behalf Of Mr.: Da-
Wis. No radical names are attached to
the paper, all tie leading Senators and
Representatives having refused to have
ANYTHING to do with the movement. Pres
ident Johnson, it is said, cares nothing for
this omission, expressing the opinion that
he alone has the power to decide the mat
ter, and that he intends to do just as his
own convictions of justice and propriety
dictate. Paul sBagley, the enthusiastic
pardon manager, who has travelled over the
country for the purpose of agitating the.
question of Mr. Davis pardon, has charge
OF the petition referred to, and has for
warded it to Canada, with the ,hope26fIob-
tanning special petition from the chief
party interested.

Several of the ablest of our exchanges
have we'll written editorials under this
caption, and wc hope that the people will
weigh well the meaning of the words,
which appearing to us to be based upon
sound truth, provided no loyal remedy
arise before the time for voting comes on.
We know that many of our trucst citi-
zens, at the first blush of the subject, felt
that they would never vote again in this
stricken land. We believe that this feel
ing is passing rapidly away. Our advice
has always been to register and vote, If
the time for registering and voting roll
around. That Somebody will vote, is GER
tain and if the best men do not, the worst
will, and truly they will get the control
of the State in their hands. and assuredlJ

A TERRIBLE WEAPoN.-The Paris pa
pers say that the story about the new
French gun which shoots people without
powder or smoke, is quite true. The
weapon is really sling, improved up to
the nineteenth century standard. Bullets
are placed in circular groove on disc
of steel, which, driven by wheel of much
greater diameter, revolyes at prodigious
pace, and hurls out the bullets at the rate
of about three hundred per minute. They
strike as hard as rifle balls.
