WHO is DEAD?

VILLAGE AND CITY.
VILLAGE.
Tolling solemnly and slow.
Swings the little village bell,
While doth pause the passer-by,
Saddened by the knelll
Sadden'd as he passeth by
Pray ing for the spirit fled
While he mOurneth with u sigh,
''Who is deadp'
Treading solemnly and slow,
Comes the village throng,
Who. with the Pastor at their head,
Bear the corpse along!
Whilst the children cease their play
drawing nearer, half in dread
wond'ring. as it passes onward,
.'Who is deadp"
And the busy workmen cease
Gathering, now, the windows round
Whilst their upraised hammers all
Fall without a soundi
cot is the coffin Of a ch Id
God, rest light its little headl
God preserve our little ones
.sWho is dead?''
Broken is the number. now,
All had learned to think complete!
One familiar face is gone.
Now from church and street!
And the busy query runs,
Till, before the day is sped,
Fen the smallest child coul tell
Who is dead!
CITY.
Tolling solemnly, and slow,
Swings the city's solemn bell,
But the passer hurrieth by,
Heeding, hearing not the knell-
Heeding. hearing not the bell
To sonc busy purpose we'd
Never finding time to ask
''Who is dead2''
Now, with hearse and nodding plume,
And long escort to the grave,
Death comes rattling down the street
Life goes up the busy pave!
Careless faces-tearless eyes
Nooi{e IN the throng has said,
As the long procession passed them,
wv ho is de;,d?''
Labor hath no time to lose
Nois,- wheels still whirl away!
Death 5 Il comnon thing, which goes
By the windows every day
From the thronged and busy pavements
No familiar face is fled
Not ore even in thousand,
Knows who is dead!

1t has been hinted quite generally
that of the hundred AMI odd conduc-
tors on the Erie railway not all Of
them were strictly honest. 1t has
been said that a few Of them on
moderate salaries, have, like mem
bers of Congress, succeeded III
saving from ten to thirty thousand
dollars a year. Some Of them have
bu 1t fine houses; purchased horses.

jewelry. expensive watches, some
United States bonds, and few
shares in Erie. There are some
men who are cruel enough to say

ing estimated that they had baggcd

General Hampton and the South Caro-
lima Railroad Company.

We fnd the following letter in the Colum-
bia Phoenix of yesterday, under the sigma
ture of "Ejgefeld:"
Some weeks ago tho name of General Hamp-
ton was mentioned in connection with the
Presidency Of the South Carolina Railroad
Company; since then several articles hayo ap-
peared in print with tho evident intention OF
preventing the nomination Of the General, by
predicting in advance that he would not accept
or did not wish the place, &c. ! am satisfied.
from recent information, that General llamp-
ton will accept til position if elected, and his
friends need have no doubt on that point.
In this connection, it is proper for us TO
state that the announcement Of the with
drawal of the name Of General Hampton as
candidate for President Of the South
Carolina Railroad Company, made in The
NEWS of Saturday, was based upon pri-
vate telegram received in this city from
General Hampton, in which he said, "With-
draw my name as q candidate for the Prcsi'
dency Of the South Carolina Railroad y
This telegram is still in our possession.

tho government welded by one despotic
body, they could not hope to succeed in
giving effect TO law which would be vetoed,
we trust, by Governor Scott, and would be
held unconstitutional, and, therefore, void,
by every court in the State.
1t is no rhetorical flourish now to say
that the Radicals in the General Assembly
are striving with might and main to over
ride the organic law which they and their
party framed; but, whatever the conse-
quences, there will be for us this consola-
ton at least-that by their violence, their
disregard Of law, and their working "out-
ssside the constitution" these Radicals will
seal the fate and secure the downfall Of
their party.

arce, but The general verdict seems to be one
of success. Mr. Booth divided the favor of the
audience with Mr. Edwin Adams, end both
we're called before the curtain. Miss McVicker's
Juliet was injured by timidity. She wore
white satin skirt, hooped with pearls, and cut
pompadour, trimmed with silver bullion fringe;
pearl necklace and tiara Of diamonds, and
her long black hair flowing. The Nurse of
Miss Fanny Morant was perfect success. The
scenery Is described as absolutely perfect.
Some fault is found with the theatre itself,
which, ''though splendid triumph of up
holstery and mechanical contrivance, is not in
any high sense work Of art" The most
glaring defect is q want of lobby-room.
