POETRY.
LONG AGO.

As through the poplar's gusty spire
The March wind sweeps and sings,
sit beside the hollow fire,
And dream familiar things.
Old memories wake, faint echoes make
A murmur of dead Springs.
All days when life had aim and meaning,
What buried years agoi
When friend-no shadow intervening
Was friend, and foe was foe;
When life had youth, and love had truth,
And heart had faith 10 show.
Somewhere now woods are green and tender
Somewhere hedge rows are filled
With buds: somewhere. If winds befriend he
The thrush begins 10 build.
Somewhere no fears has Spring. no tears
For hopes that March has killed.
Sing. thrush your songs of praise and passion
Fill all the budding wood
With music of a byegOne fashion
nv youth so understood;
Now I'm alone. and the world grown cold,
And God alone is good.

THE CHILD ANGEL,

Little tongues that chatter, chatter
Little feet that patter, patter.
With q ceaseless motion all the day
Little eyes that softly Tighten,
Little cheeks that flush and brighten,
Little voices singing at their play.

Thoughts of one who has been taken
or little heart that beats no more
OF a little voice that's ringing,
Mid the angels sweeily singing
Songs of gladness on distant shore.

In this country on his first visit, Irving and he
met, by appointment, at Baltimore, and had
two DAYS OF good time. Some man OF bib.
ulous habit, an admirer OF the books OF both,
sent to them at the hotel most enormous
mint julep, wreathej with flowers. Dickens
writes: aWe cat one on either side OF it, with
great solemnity, lit filed a respectfully sized
round table, bat the solemnity was OF very
short duration. 1t was quite an enchanted 1u-
lep, and carried us among inuumerahle people
and places that we both knew. The julep held
out far into the night, and my memory never
saw him afterward otherwise than as bending
over il with his straw with an attempted air Of

wonderfully droll and delicate observation OF

"A correspondent Of the Boston Traveller
writes from New Orleans: Unto the uncom-
pIeted customhouse, upon which General
Beauregard was working when he abandoned
architecture for the field, we went, admiring
the grand design and the ponderous masonry
Of the building. On the second floor, the way
to which is up the same old rckety plank
stairs, is the room occupied by General Long,
street. He was there when We went in, and
greeted us in very cordial manner, appearing
as much at home as any other man should in a
fat customhouse Office. II man ever has rea.
son to smile it is when he gets into the :stom.
house, for it is one OF the neatest, prettiest jo-
liest, LATEST positions ever held by man. Gen.
eral Hood is running q commissi sion steIe on the
second floor Of q stone building on a side
street. BE was ever sociable, and talked freely
about the war, and said he regretted nothing
he had done, and would do the same fighting
over az in if he he'd O chance. He said when
he succeeded General johnson IN command OF
the Western Confederate army he knew the
game was up. BE was only fighting to save
his honor. The revolution was crushed when
Vicksburg fell, and he said 30 at the time. he
SAID it was painful for him 10 talk about the
lost cause, and he did not like to recall the
war. General Beauregard is President Of th Q
New Orleans and Jackson Railroads, and has
his Office in fue marble.front building in the
wealthiest part Of tie city. He made little or
no reference to the war, but confined his con-
versation to the commercial convention and
the condition Of the railroads."

The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Gazette writes:
The objects accomplished by the result Of
the elections in Virginia, however important.

furnishes Of previous wholesome change OF
public sentiment everywhere. 1t is well
known that the primary purpose OF the Bid
zeal party Of making the negro, politically
and socially sSut at the =. sHush out Ah a1a
was beginning to ''stink IN the nostrils" OF
all decent men. The manifest design Of forc-
ing the negro into the trades unions Tor TO
break them up,) helped amazingly to open the
eyes OIL the rank and file IN the Northern work
shops. The adoption OF the Fifteenth amend
ment by packed Radical Legislatures. without
permitting the people they, pretended 10 rep
and the utter failure OF the new administration
TO respond to the general desire for the real
modification OF the country, completed the dis
euet OF the people. The sweeping defeat OF
The Radlcals in Virginia is but reflex Of this
general disgust. OF which decisive evidence
may be expected in the fall elections.
General Grant has it vet IN his power to re-
trieve the error into which he fell at the oeSln
ming Of his administration, and am lDfUrmed

assume a conservative position without danger
of even the auathemas OF the extremes OF bis
marty. In such course he viii be sustained
by the nation al large, and may laugh to ecorn
the faction that will be left in the opposition
gutter.
The action of the Cabinet on Friday, in
relation to the Mississippi election, is slgnl-
ficapt in several respects. 1t is thus virtually
conceded that the Conservatives will triumph
in the other Southern States, and that the
effect of these victories on the tall elections IN
the NORTH is dreaded. Hence the postponement
of the Mississippi election uatll November.
The President had decided on much carrier
day for the election IN Texas and MISSISSIPPI,
but he has been oyerruled by these extremists.

higher than ever known, the water having
risen forty-seven feet eight inches, but is now
falling slowly. The whole valley is entirely
under water, and the crops destroyed. The

IRON DUB OWN COpRESPOEDENT
COLUMBIA, July 13-The Board Of Trustees
Of the University of South Carolina held a
meeting yesterday, pursuant to adjournment
three weeks ago. A good deal Of routine bust
ness, such as receiving and considering reports
Of committees, was attended to; but the main
item of business was the election Of Major @.
Davis Melton to the Chair Of Law. In this
election We have indicated the policy intended
towards the University, namely: to continue it
in it's present style. In the election OF Major
Melton to the chair Of lava man who stands
high in the community, VIII is eminent in his
profession, and whose mind is characterized in
q high degree by those qualities OF severe l'glc
and system that are demanded in such posi-
tion-his election indicates the purpose OF
keeping the tone OF the institution at It's maxi
mum. The election gives universal satisfac-
ton, and it is understood that Major Melton
will accept the position. The bursarship was
given to James Davis, respectable negro OF
Columbia. As the bursary system OF boarding
has besn practically abolished (by the students
choosing to board elsewhere) since last Octo-
her, the only duties remaining for Bursar DAVIS
are those Of ssheriff," which have been per-
formed by a negro ever aiace the college was
founded.
The board adjourned to meet again at the
call of the chairman, Governor Scott. 1t is
understood that such meeting will be called at
an early day, 80 that the new professors 10 be
then elected may be ready to enter upon their
their duties at the reg 1lar time-,he first Mon
dsy in October-when the next session begins.
A prominent ply sicist OF Charleston Is spoken
OF as likely to be invited to the Chair OF Ply
sizes, vacated last spring by Professor John
LeConte.
TIE TAXES.
At o meeting Of citizens, yesterday, it was
decided to resist the payment Of certain cases
of excessive taxation, by legal process in the
courts. Chancellor Carroll and F. ". hckling.
ESQ.,, we're selected as attorneys in the case or
cases to test the law. These steps have been
hastened by Governor Ssott's letter. but had
their origin in discomfort anterior to that
publication. The community approve the
testing Of the question in the courts; but most
temperate men think it is not an occasion for
much political defamation. CoRsA1R.

Mr.. GEORGE PEABODY AND HIS
SECOND GIFT TO THE SOUTH.

The New Bedford Mercury, Of July 7th, says
Mr.. George PeAbody's second gift to promote
education in the Southern States is even
greater than il had stated it to be, and adds:
Besides the valuable stocks, worth more
than q million Of dollars. he adds 1884 600 In
Florida bonds, which will ultimately BE- paid,
and will swell the amount OF his gifts to this
one object to nearly a 600 600. The letter to
was written by MIR. Peabody himself, and shows
the clearness and v1gor Of his intellect, not
vithstanding the fact that he ls suffering from
O disease of serious nature, painful and
prostrating, and which. he is conscious, must
before long termir ate his life This interview
between the lreat philanthropist, lying upon
his SEX bed and the distinguished gentlemen
who have so wisely administered his magnm
cent charity, was an exceedingly affecting one.
A description OF 1t, and particularly OF Mr..
Peabody's remarks, not only in regard 10 the
educational scheme and what be expects to re-
suit from it, but in relation to the war, would
intensity the public regard for him, not only
as one OF the greatest OF benefactors, but as
one OF the purest Of pstriots-never TOR mo
ment fsltering in hs allegiance TO tho govern
ment, though never forgetting that the North
an South consti ute ore country. He will not
i've to see the full fruits OF his noble charity.
But the great banker, in his best days, never
embarked in q scheme more certain Of success
or promising more magnificent returns. His
educational fund is accomplishing and Will
consummate what changes OF the constitution
could never effect. the existence Of real and
abiding harmony between the North and the
South.
Mr. Peabody, We learn, designs to admins
tar upon his own estate. Death will find him
possessed OF only means sufficient for . be-
coming burial. he will leave nothing for heirs
to quarrel about. HIS vast state will not be
tied up in chancery, at the mitigation OF some
ayar1cious heir at lew. to the eore dlsappoint-
ment and suffering of needy benefciaries. He
will finish his good work.
