Original Poetry.
THE BRIDES DEPARTURE.
BY La PETITE.

They wcrcJoined in holy VIC lock
And the days were gliding by
AS gentle flowing strcamlet
Or the stars in cloudlcss sky.
But tho time has come for parting
With the friends Of carly years,
And the brides bright face was cloudcd
And her dark eye dewcd with tears.
There wcrc farcwclls sadly spoken,
And the mothers turn drew nigh;
But her heart was almost breaking
When she brcathcd the low 'tgoodbyc.
And darker veil of sadness
Ger tho young brides spirit fell
AS she felt tho gentle pressure,
OF the lips she loved so we'll.
A long cmbracc-a blessing
Another kiss---a prayer
And II loneliness so crushing
Came o'cr tho mother there.
She had given her to another
llcr child-thc only one;
And Der heart with gloom was shaded
As the sky without its sun.

FIRE.-A fire broke out yesterday
morning, about two o'clock, in the
dwelling Of Dr. Y. j. Roach, (situatcd
about two miles from Columbia, on the
Monticello road and so rapid was tho
conflagration. that the family were bare.
ly able to escape with their iivos--as
the building was entirely in possession
OF tho devouring clement, before the
inmates were aroused from their slum-
bcrs. Tho dwelling, with its entire con.
tents, was destroyed. Tho light was
seen SO distinctly in Columbia, that the
alarm was given, and tho fromen turn.
ed out. DR.. Roach will receive the
heartfelt sympathies Of tho community,
as he is an old and respected citizen ol
this district, and for many years q resi-.
dent Of Columbia. We learn that the
property destroyed was partially cover.

The Final Remedy.

Here arc some sensible views, from
4 long article in the charlottesville
! (Na.) LNronicic::
What We feel disappointed about
at the South CATER the diSappoint
mont about the wary is that there is
delay III putting things in order again,
and starting the mighty engine of So
cicty anew on the firm and broad
highway. With true American i'm
patience, wo consider that two or
three years is long enough to recon-
struct an empire, or remodel n cont.
ncnt and we feel that at least if the
thing is not done in our days it had
as we'll be left undone.
The meaning of The late civil war is
not yet understood; the mcasr,rc at
that great event has not yet been talk
en-. The meaning of American De-
mncracy is not yet revealed. Tho
subject of African Slavery, it's final
cauSo---is not at all comprchcndcd
!hc future destiny of the negro race
IS associated with the question of tho
destiny of all the inferior raco
whether they look to elevation or on
tlnctlod. The question of Mexico is
mixed up with our future. So of
Canada. Then California and Chi
nosc immigration. Then, specially.
the destiny of the Gulf States. Then
the formation of political parties in
the country.
In short we, we stand in the midst
OF conluson-and no brain can com.
pass such vast themes, and no cyc
penetrate tho future. 1t is idlc to
worry ourselves.
That there is method in all this
madness, we do know-that n liy-
nS embryo stirs within this misty
womb, no Christian will doubt. That
from these vcilcd and inky waters the
Spirit will evoke some fair creation,
experience does not permit us to
question. That the great coil of his,
tory, by dctcrminatc and pro-cstab.
llShcd law, is mwinding itself hero, as
IT has done heretofore, and will con-
tlauc to do, until the intricate me-
ohanlSm of human destiny has achiev-
cd its assigned limits, and ceased its
pulSationS, only an athcistical philoso-
phy can refuse to believe. 1t is not
u whit darker than it has often been.
!. nhnre q. WA; WAS utter cc"ntn$iH" IN Franco
There was utter confusion under tho
Successors Of Charlcmagnc. There
was anarchy and confusion and civil
wars under tho successors Of Hugh
t"rct. There was anarchy under tho
Gulsc ond Coligny'S. There was
fearful mls3oycrnmcnt under tho
BoWbons AND then followed Tho
hcvulution.
We have had five or six years Of
civil troubles and if many or few
more arc in store for us, We do not
know.
Oar business Is what lies at hand.
Unable to cast the horoscope Of the ru-
turc, it is our assigned part to so to
work, and to believe in God.
If we arc bent on securing beyond
pcradvcnturo our future wcll-bcing,
here is Il sovereign rcccipt-to work
with our hands and havo faith in God.
The South is scene Of idlcncss and
unbclcf. Faith in God and good
honest labor will put these military
Districts beyond the experiments Of
the American Congress. These mcdi-
cincs may be deemed plattitudcs---
old womon's rcmedics-buG they arc
chock full of profound philosophy
as men usually discover when brought
to an absolute stand-still in their indi-
vidual concerns.

Selected Poetry.
From tho Louisville Courier.
THE SOUTHERN CROSS.
by AN ES-cONFEDEnATE OFFICER.

Farewell, shrouded emblem of the brave
A fond farewell to thee
Standard! upborn by martyrcd souls
That battlcd to be free;
We love thee, and thy glory
Was the snintcd shield
We bore before our loyal hearts
Upon tho battle field.
The orient folds of crimson light
Reflected back the sun,
That golden shone upon the field
BY bleeding Southrons won.
The 'carnest-browed and cagle-cycd."
Those martyrcd-hcr sleep,
While o'cr their silent graves Of dust
The tangled grasses creep.
No more for them The cannon's roar
No moro tho ''picrcing tife''--
They stand upon the "goldcn shore"
Beyond tho "stream Of life;"
All, well, at least to thcm twas spared,
That bloody deed Of shame,
Which furled thy tri -hucd folds,
And qucnched dear freedoms frame.
Oh, blessed banner of The past,
Dcarcr than ever now;
Tho years their shadows tlarkly cast,
And adverse storm winds blow,
Nell not forget thee Sad our hearts
AT whisper Of thy name!
And imn'orclles shall deck thy folds
Now laurcl-crowncd by fame
Farewell, dear ensign, bathcd in blood,
Holy Of holies now,
Folded art thou from loyal hearts
That still allegiance bow;
Maid aud matron, son and sire
Have consccrated thee
With blood and tears. Furled, but glorio,
still,
Thou ''cnblcm of the free"
