And DER the helserows colorius down the vale.

The climbing closds are cast
Earth's uinding-sheets, all edged with stream

Forerunners Of the blast.
Twirled here and there in hooks about the lanes,
The red leaves lie in heaps;
And eAoh ancestral orov within the planes
An ominous silence keeps.
The langud smoke o'er orchards brown and
bare,
And leAf-strcwn homestead tracks,
Curls laIily into the livid air,
Prom homes by yellow stacks.
AL nstsre ssemeth held in deep suspense,
As the inpeadins Storm

Assumes no settled form.
Big drops anon splash on the rutty road,
And bursts the pen'-up squall;
The weary laborer seeks his susg abode
And gloom dcoends ON all.

ARMS FoR FRANCE. Within the Last
three months no less than ten full cargoes
of arms and munitions of war have been
dispatched to various French ports-prin-
cipally to Havre-from tho port Of New
York, the total value Of which Is very
nearly S5,l2s,0O0. 1t Is said that several
of these cargocs were shipped on private
account and purely rs speculation; but
on their arrival they were seized by the
French officials and forwarded Mt onco to
the interior depots. ali the satisfaction re-
ceived by the owners being certificate

future compensation, on such terms as .

that necessity knows no law, especially

THE SITUATION AT THE CAPITAL.

From Washington advicesit seems tue
Republicans are houndering in thequag-
mire, with little probability of soon being
extricated. Up to this good hour they
are still without programme, and they
have not vet agreed as to what measures
are to be put in the foreground stiil
less on the principles of the measures
which are to be the topic of the session.
Beyond a general idea, or stocking the
committees and arranging matters Tor
the successionin the interest OF Grant
hardly anything of Importance seems yet
TO have been seriously attempted, save
the amnesty question, which will come
nm next week. If the past should be
wiped out as with a sponge, the Republl-
can party would not live in the estlma-
ton of the good people Of this country
one single day. 1t is by feeding the
Northern mind on the cold horrors OF
the four eventful years of the late war
that these prejudiced people can be kept
together to form party sufficiently
strong to resist the new growth of ideas
in the Democratic ranks, that each year
increases in might, and which Will, be-
fore the next Presidential election, carry
everything before them.

Coveruor AIeorn TO Resign his Seat

by Bob Alcorn, calling meeting OF the
people of Coahoma county, without re-
gard to politics, to urge upon Governor
Alcorn to resign his seat in the Senate
and continue in the Gubernatorlal char.
The editor endorses the call, and hopes
the Governor will accede 10 their wishes,
and as we regard the Delta as his home
organ, and supposed to reflect his senti-
ments more correctly than the Pilot or
any other Republican paper in the State,
we append an extract, from which we
think we see that be wants to remain in
his present position, but desires to be
solicited to do so by the people:
Then let the meeting be held, and
let every man in the county, without re-
gard to the groove in which his political
IDEAS have been cast, be in attendance.
God and country is your Governor
motto. He has stood by you in days
! past. and in the future he will not desert
You. Reared ia the South it is but
natural that he should love his dear ma
tive land. The best days of his life
have been spent in Mississippi. He has
climbed her hills, traced her rivers and
wandered over almost every forest within
her domain The friends Of his youth
are resting in solemn silence beneath
her soil, and the great desire of his
heart is, that her banner ever bright
may long wave over happy and pros
nervous people. .HlF

LONDON, November l3.-German adj
vices state that Garibaldi's resignatian is
the result of careful elaboration, he hav-
ing become convinced that further re-
sistance on the part of France is mere
sacrifice of human life. Garibaldi re
turns to Italy at once.
The abrogation by Prussians oil the
treaty of 1867 causes serious apprhen'
sions. The Serie semi-oficially states
that England intends armed re,
sistance against the encroachment oil
Prussia upon Belgium. The connlvanee
of the King of Holland with Bismarck IN
the occupation of Luxembourg and future
German aggrandizement is strongly
