A Shadow.

What lack the valleys and mountains
That were green and gay!
What lack the bubbling fountains,
Their voice is sad to-day.
Only the sound of voice,
Tender and sweet and low,
That made the earth rejoice,
A year ago!
What lack the tender fowers?
A shadow is on the sun;
What lack the merry hours,
That long they were done,
Only two smiling eyes,
That told of joy and mirth;
They are shining in the skies,
mourn on earth
What lacks my heart, and makes It
20 weary and full of pain,
That trembling hope foTsskes it,
Never TO come again?
Only another heart,
Tender and all my own,
In the still grave Il lies;
Iweep alone

THIRD ANNUAL STATE FAIR.
EIGHTH DAY..

Yesterday, which was to have marked the
close Of the Third Annual State Fair, disclosed
no diminution, either in point of attendance or
attractions. The weather, frat of all, was as fine
as could be wished. The race was the best that
we have yet had. Everything proved the wis
dom Of the policy of the association in keeping
up the fair FIVE days longer.
The awarding committees have about close 4
their labors, but there is still, of course, some
little delay in preparing full and Official reports.
While on this subject, word or two In praise of
the generally satisfactory manner in which the
gentlemen Of the various committees have dis.
charged their delicate and responsible trust, is
eminently proper. While there may be individual
instances which tbese interested and even dis
interested outsider may find esuse to condemn as
not altogether correctly decided, the general
dict yet seems TO be that sh- awards have been
very judiciously administered.
Among the awards Of yesterday, we were
pleased to see that the New Orleans inventor, Mr..
A. E. Dupss, received two blue ribbons, viz one
prize for the vibrating electro magnetic engine,
the other for the best motive power hitherto un-
applied. This motive power, IL viii be recoec-
ted, Is electro magnetism. The other awards, as
far as ascertaned, are as follows:
Sweepstakes for all breeds-Best stallion, c. 81.

weight, will take the ground that the Reyerdy

negotiations must be entered upon "de novo,"

The Cartersville ErpreSs pays the fol-

some interesting and valuable railroad
information to which the attention of
our readers is invited:

struction of the North and South Road,
in Alabama, which will run from De-
catur to Montgomery, a distance OF

Governor Senter.

The Memphis Acalanche prints an
editorial severe on the acting Governor,
but sweet on Col. Stokes. We quote
the closing paragraph:
In looking at the temporary Cover
nor as we see him now, why should we
expect anything from him, to the ad-
vantage and advancement of our peo-
pie? We do not perceive the slightest
ground for hope. Nay, more is to be
expected from Stokes, with all his bit
ter antccedents and trucculent anathe-
mas. 1t is said that. in his recent speech
at Nashville, he did not lean very IA
vorably toward the militia, and thought
the useless burden might be removed
that the further continuance of politi-
cal disabilities was not desirable-and
that it was his earnest wish to promote
harmony and prosperity in Tennessee
by u liberal course as Governor. Is this
true? Or is he misreprescnted? If il
be true, he has said more, and felt more
liberality than has yet emanated from
Senter, and far more merits the cordial
appreciation of every man who would
have the shackles stricken from his
limbs and the gag removed from his
month

The Supreme Court of the United

sion in the case of Eden Kelly va. Ed

preme Court Of the District of Column
bia, to-wii: That any alien white wo-
man married to citizen of the United
States is citizen under the act of the
10th of February, 1860. which is in the
following language "Any woman who
might be lawfully naturalized under ex-
isting laws. married. or who shall be
married to citizen Ofthe United States,
shall be deemed and taken 10 be citi-
zen of the United States" There has
hitherto been great diversity of opin-

act by the LAWYERS of tie country, but
the above decision settles the matter be-
yond controversy.
