My Mountain Home.

My Mountain Home.
BY MoLLIE A. GILMORE.
'Tis chill autumnal evening,
And against ny window pane
May be heard the constant patter
OF the falling of the rain
And the signing of the night winds,
Which in mournful accents come,
Fills my heart with gentle mem'ries,
And makes drear my mountain home.
And the Fast steals gently o'er me,
Like bright and happy dream.
May it neer be washed from mem'ry
By Il wave of Lethe's stream,
But he cherished fondly ever,
Though by fate | chance to roam
Far mid stranger lands and strangers,
Or within my mountain home.
My mountain home, what beauty fingers
In nv home so new TO me
And when summer spreads her mantle
Over hillside, vale, and tree,
Then | gaze enrapt with pleasure
On thy beauties as roam
Mid the cooling shades ana breezes
Which surround my mountain home.
But although love thy beauties,
And thy summer breezes bland,
ct to me they're not as sacred
AS thine own, my native land.
Dearest land, Eli hope to claim thee
Once again to be mine own;
l would rot forsake thee ever
For my quiet mountain home.
For alas when dreary winter
Clothes the earth in robes of white.
When the day god shines less brightly,
Shedding forth paler light,
Then, all then, fain would hasten
Where the blasts less rudely come
Gladly would | seek the climate
Of my own dear Buckeye home.

Conversation with Gen. Lee.

CAhLAHAN's, Allegheny County, Sept 3 -
This morning | had for cin1l'eGg'os du royoyc no
less distinguished personages than Gen. Robert
f. Lee and Mr. c. NJ. Conrad, Of Louisiana and
others Gen. Lee, besides evincing a thorough
knowledge Of the country, was the principal au-
thority upon all the different species Of trees
their nature, &c. He spoke Of the great agri-
cultural resources Of the State, dwelling particu-
larly upon its capacities for grape culture. The
intimacy he displayed with the various varieties
of grape, their qualities the classes Of wines and
the quantities that could be distilled from them
would do credit to the great French manufac-
turCrs.
As to politics, General Lee said that ''ifthe
Democratic or correcting himsefO the Conserv-
ative clement did not triumph in November the
country would be ruined" Candidates, the
General seemed to think, made but little differ
cnce; principles were the issues in the campaign,
and he had an ardent wish for the success of
those that were baseo upon the Constitution
He spoke of bond holders and illustrated In his
calm, quiet way, how easy it was to speculate
upon the public through this bond system, which
he thought Ubiquitous. AS if he had forgotten
himself, or the subject was dstasteful to him. he
quickly introduced other and perhaps to him
more interesting matters.-Cor. N. l. Hc'ydd.

Discussion at Newton.

We learn that the candidates for Congress,
Messrs. Shober and Boyden, met at Newton on
the 18th inst Owing to hoarseness Mr. Shober
was unable to speak: but introduced Mr. Sehenck,
of Lincolnton, who courteousy accepted the task
Of replying to Mr. Boyden. Mr. B., we are told,
went pretty well through the catalogue of Radi-
Gals acts Federal and State, and denounced them
all; but strange to say, is willing to perpetuate
and confirm them by supporting Grant and Col
fax! He is a conservative Radical, an impract-
cable go-between. Mr. Schenck had an easy task
in replying, and most effectually exposed the
absurdity of Mr. Boydens position and purile
arguments in support Of it. He ELECTED cheer
after cheer We are assured that the people
were greatly surprised at Mr. Boyden's strange
position and manifested most decided disappro-
baton of it.-ISalisbwy North State.

MoNTGoNERY, Ala Sept. 5.-The late Legislature
having empowered the Governor oname one or more
papers in each Congressional district to do the State
and legal advertising (no official advertising to be
Tai:l il inserted in any paper not named by him)
Governor Smith has designated all the papers in the
State, the probate Judges and shcrHs adver-

such action the part of GOV. Smith is honorable
compared with the orders of Judge Brooks in North
Carolina, who directed that all the Bankrupt and
"ie,;l advertising should be inserted in one or the
other Of bat iwo papers in this State Gov Smith of
Alabama, is called a Radical. We don't know to

Fashion at Saratoga.

The Saratoga correspondent of the New York
independent says: "A procession Of splendors
is moving through the Congress Hall parlors
till midnight. In the long line marches lady
from one of the interior towns Of this State
whose garnitnre of diamonds and gold is reputed
at 100000. "Her price is far above rubles.
| have never seen so much of female beauty here
in any previous season. Perhaps we ought to
emphasize the word SEEN for some Of the female
charms have been startlingly visible. The theo-
nv on which the fashionable dresses are con-
structcd is to expose the upper portion Ola ladys
form, and to conceal the carpet for several feet,
or even yards, behind her. The silk or the satin
garment extends for two or three inches above
the waist, and the rest is enyeloped in sort of
cossamer Illusion or 'delusion,' or whatever else
it may be called. Rumor has it that a father
was permitted the exquisite satisfaction of see
ing his daughter Kissed when she entered a
hotel drawing room. The story may be false,
but it is certainly true that many parent (and
husband too has richly deserved to be more
than Kissed for permitting fair, beautiful girl
to become the indecent gazing stock of crowd
of strangers and the but for ribald jokes of rakes

Who CAN VoTE.-The impression is preva-
lent, we are informed, in some portions of the
State that those persons who are DISTINGUISHED
under the Reconstruction Acts are still disquali-
fed from voting. This is palpably erroneous.
North Carolina having been officially declared
to be in the Union, and her representatives to
Congress having been admitted to seats, these
Acts are no longer operative within this State.
Nor is there any other law of Congress or clause
of the Constitution of the United States which
establish these or any other disabilities restrain
ing the citizens of this State from the exercise
of the elective franchise. The disabilities ofthe
so-caled Fourteenth Amendment known as the
Howard Amendment have reference to office
holding and not to voting.

The State Militia.

We understand that five Justices Of the Peace
in the counties Of Rowan, New Hanover and Rock
ingham have requested Gov. Holden to organize
the detailed Militia in those counties, and
that he has determined to comply with the re-
quest We understand that the best legal au-
thority in the State pronounces the law, under
which the Detailed Militia is organized M
I constitutional. 3. L. Moore, Esq, has shown
conclusively, that it is so, in his letter to Col.
Sinclair. His letter was based upon the pro-
posed ''Police Force Bill,' but the principles
laid down are equally applicable to this bill.
Have the citizens of New Hanover, Rowan
and Rockingham, who have to pay the expense,
been consulted in this matter? Have they esti-
mated the costs, to say nothing of the danger,
of such a proceeding. The official exhibits Of
the National Treasury show that the expendi-
lures of the War Department costing the
government sum equal to $4,000 per year for
each solclier in the service The rank and file
the men who do the work, it is true, get very
little Of it themselves but it is paid out by the
government. nevertheless. We believe there is
mischief and blood in this scheme 1t is per-
fectly plain that no such expensive force should
be called out unless it is called for by the citizens
Of the county, generally. We hope, therefore,
the voters Of those counties will not fail to let
"the Governor know their wishes, and, if not
needed, that they will speak out at the ballot
box against this infamous Radical arar scheme.
We again call the attention Of the President and
Secretary Of War to this Executive usurpation
and defiance Of the Act Of Congress.-Ralciyh
ScntinL
There is no necessity for putting the people
of those counties to the expense Of supporting
an active Militia force, and it is an imposition
that is hard to submit to quietly
