Oh, winter winds, why come to sweep.
Your chilly air DER this fair cline;
Why should our fragrant flowers sleep
Beneath that frosty breath Of thine;
Why touch them with your 10y dart;
Why send them withered TO the tomb.
Why from. your arctic shores depart,
TO desolate o land in bloom? .
We, cannot tell--your piercing breath
Sighe like come spirit from his grave,
That treasures In the caves Of death
:. Some ruined hope his heart may crave.
Yet monster, stay, ye dare not pierce
The shades where low tho Christian lies,
Your reign must cease, however fierce,
You cannot rule when winter dies.
Still winter winds, DER aea and land,
Throw with their nlournful shrieke around
Blight and disease with lavish hand,
Unfesling as the frozen ground.
Thus nature withers in their path
And man deplores their su1len power,
Tossed on the sea, he in their wrath
Feels years Of anguish in an hour.
Ye winds that skirt remotest space,
What you have seen our hearte would thrill
Could language follow your wild race,
Or answer in your voice 80 shrill,
But your vast power gloomy, dark,
Swung in G world of sleet and snow,
WAS not appointed thus to mark
Mortal vicissitudes below.
Yet it is said sound cannot die;
Each word OF anger, Joy or pain,
When spoken It Is vain to try
To hide within the breast again.
Then winter winds and summer air
Nay in that hour OF fear and dread,
Around the judgment seat repair,
With secrets Of the quick and dead.

WAR BETWEEN THE DRY GOODS MEs.-lt
is said that the houses of A. l.. Stewart j. Co.
and H. B.. Clafin 4 Go. are engaged in an in
t%ernccine warfare. Stewart, we are told, is
making a terrific raid on unbleached muslins
and Merrimac prints. The story goes tha6 du.
ring the earlier part OF the late war Stewart
got badly frightened about muslins, and put all
his stock on the market. selling them for what
they would fetch. Ciahiu pretended TO do the
same, but in reality bought back all his own
goods aud bought up all Stewards. The result
wier it rose, rs it did almost immediately,
Stewart had to buy from C!ahin at pretty much
what the later chose to ask. Stewart has never
forgiven Cia6in for this, but mas been hus,
banding bis forces and waiting patiently Tor al
opportunity to strike q crushing blow IN return.
This he apparently thinks he has found, andis
accordingly pushing his columns Of muslin and
Merrimac forward to the attack. AS o central
attack be maSScd bis MerTimacs at ten cents q
yard, when they were sold by the maEufactu-
rers at twelve, and hurled them upon the mar
ket. The result is said to have been that The
.Nerrimac men struck his name from their books
and refused to sell him any more goods. Ste.
wart is reported to have Immediately procured
a supply through 4 distinguished Phlladclph
firm. 1hrnush their abundant caution, how
ever, the Merrimac people had put IA private
mark en- the goods sold by them to this firm.
Their emissaries bought some Of the goods
from Stewart, found the MARI, reported to
headquarters, and the Philadelphia firm has
also been struck from the Merrlmac peoples
books. MIR. Clahin is reported to be FULLY alive
to the situation. The practical result OF the
war is i terrible autter among the dry goods
people, and a general assertion that if MIR. Ste
wart continues his raid be will ruin pretty much

A New STEAMSHIP LINE-REDucrIoN IN
FREIGHTS. - 1t gives US pleasure to announce
to our readers that there i, an exceedingly
good prospect for cheap rates of treights and
passage between this city and New York
time thereafter. Our reasons for making this
statement are that w. H. Obi, Esq, au
agent OF the Lorillard steamship line, has baca
10 this city for a few days past making ar.
engagements for putting on a line of iron pro
pellers between Norfolk, Richmond, and New
York, to compete with the Old Dominion line.
MIR. Obi informs US that the company have
three new iron propellcrs now ready, which
will be put on about the Isl of May, each
capable of carrying one thousand five hundred
bales OF cotton; and that three more are now
building, ten feet longer and wider then the
Isaac Bell, and with q capacity Of four thous
and bales, which will be ready in about four
months. He also Informs us that it is the in
tention of the company to put down the rates
of freight on all articles fifty per cent. or even
more and his principal business here, was to eff
feet a contract with Captain John NJ. Rob
inson and General William Malone to carry
all treightS received by the railroads for one
half. or even one.fourth, Of the present rates:
said contract to hold good for one, five, or ten
years, as may be specified. A deposit Of
800, 600 will also be made to secure the strict
performance Of the contract. We learn that
the company, which represents a capital of
$50, 900, 600, have expressed their deter.
miDation to establish a permanent line, as
they have already done in other cities, and
that as soon as possible a daily line will be
put on. One of the Lorillard Brothers will be
in the city in q few days Tor the purpose OF
purchasing wharf property and making other |
arrangements. We welcome any enterprise
which looks to a reduction OF the present rates
Of freight from this city, and shall speak more
iully On this subject hereafter. -LNoriolk
