PETERSBURG. Dcccmbr 2, 1861.


If, according to the writer's on popuia-
ton, the prosperity of q country is TO be
measured by the number of marriages,
the difficulty of making adequate proy-
sion for the family must he very great IL
this immediate community. The white
people OF this city number about eleven or
twelve Thousand, and the marriage licenses
taken out by this class during the past
month did not exceed cight-which is less
than one for every thousand. And so it
has been for several months past. Nor
has it been much if any better among
the negroes. Their number cannot
be less than seventeen or eighteen
thousand, and the records o; the month
make an exhibit in their favor Of only
twelve marriages, or about the same in
proportion as the whites. Considering,
however, the improyidcnce Of these peo-
pie, and the irregular manner iii which the
relations Of man and wife are often con-
tractcd, it is difficult TO believe that the
number of alliances, legal and illegal, is
actually SO small. Still they are treading
fast on the heels Of the white people, and
every negro who has any pride or respect
for-himself likes to celebrate his marriage
with appropriate festivities.
In better times the marriages of whites
in this city were about three times as many
as at prcsent-say from twenty to thirty
ON the average Of months. The falling Of
has been woful indeed. We might account
for it partly by the loss Of our young men
during tne war; but after all allowances
the deficit can only be explained, in chic
mart, by the general inability to provide
comfortable establishments and detray the
current expenses OF the family.
But this lamentablc state OF affairs is moi
peculiar to this or that city, or TO any par.
ticular section of our country. Ii is be-
lieved to prevail very extensively through
the South. The prophet, III mourning
over the desolation OF Judca, speaks OF
the maidens not being given i'll marriage a.
one Of the consequences OF 1t. SO 1t IS III
our own case. In our impoverished con-
dition there are few To ask for their hands
in wedlock, and u pail is hanging over the
land.
Nor can We expect the circumstances OF
the country To improve as long as the bas-
tard governments now i'll process of eStab-
lishment shall continue in force. The in
security of property, and the banishmenl
from the public counsels of half the intel
ligence of the State 10 make room for corn.

The Autumn Of the Heart.
From = lanes Nayazine.

From 1t. James Magazine.
The corr hoTs its head to the sickle,
TIE nightiugale's murmur is hushed,
Rain tears from the arbutus 'ricklc,
Beech fruits in the forest II" crushed
We have fought, but the battle is ending,
We are wounded and sick from the nSht,
Blue shadows around us descending
Breathe kisses Of night.
We have ournryed, not heedinS our danger
Cried in wild supplc;ttlon "ncFe'
We have loved till our eyes lost Their anger,
And hearts became sleepy with love.
Red roses are dying which wreathed is,
We are STAMPED with the iron that seers
Dead love in compassion bequcathcd us
Its relic of tears.
All me but the summer was pleasant
Shall we die and lie dreaming again!
Would we Weld the dull days OF the present
For an hour Of the past and It's pam
DO we hunger for kisses tina: stnaS us
Or long for the lips that have lied
Must we stoop for the gauntlet they've nun
us?
Weep? creep to their side?
We cringe TO these sewers OF sorrow
We cry for Il blighted caress
we dream for Il night on the morrow
We gather the tares OF distress.
We bow. 10 orr grief and prlVaton;
We pay for the pleasures that coy
Our work is to build the foundation
They love TO destroy.
Oh. women with hearts drumming DER
With passions we never can teei,
The world is too weak to discover
The mystical love you conceal.
Our sorrow, not ours, the rcproVng,
Eour triumph, and ours the defeat
Our lives are made bitter from loving,
Why are you so sweet?

A dilapidated old darby in Montgomery,
while watching the monkeys IN MENACE
RE in that city on Friday, spoke thusiy !:
g Dem childen got too much sense to come
outen dat cage white folks cut dar tails
off and set 'em to votiu' and maxim con-
stitewtions."
"Oh, what fall was there, my country
men !" What difference is there between
a child that tumbles from the top landing
to the bottom one, and traveller visiting
Niagara? One falls down the stairs, and
the other stares down the falls.
A Hartford man, in the delirum tre-
mems, Jumped from third-story window
the other day. When picked up be re-
marked that his back felt sore, adding,
eff I wasn't dead, l should think I'd over
worked myself"
a golden rule for Il young lady is to con-
verse always with your female friends as il
a gentleman were of the party and with
young men as if your female companions
were present.
