Go sinful man, on mischief bent,
However great your crimes, repent
Filld with revenge, and hateful Ire,
You set the Meeting House on fire.
How dare you burn the house Of God,
And thus provoke the chastning rod;
How many times have you been there.
Joined with the saints in solemn prayer
But Judas like betrayed your Lord,
And burned the temple of your God
D! wretched man reyengoful elf
Like Judas, go and hang yourself.
Some mischief, sure, was your intent,
When to the Meeting House you went
You stole away at dead OF night,
Round throughthe fields, quite out of sight.

(Old cIovenfoot close ON your track
You tumbled over the stone wall
And there you let some shayingB fall.
Then on you went with fearful tread,
The horrid act began to dread
Methinks It's true, in that sad hour
The devil had you in lis power;
Encouraged you, in whispers low.
Saying, In that hole you'd best to go.
Under the house, where you will find
place of safety to your mind"
Then in you went, so shy and STILL
And placed the shavings on the sill.

And with your work seemed highly pleased
You raised your hand and gave scratch.
And lit the Locofoco match.

And cried "hell-bent you're the man for me
Now quick be off! In haste retire
You BOOB will have splendid fire.
For this nights work you shall have your pay,

tion under which we could be governed
vastly cheaper than now and that the
economy thus wrought would more thar
compensate for the expense, trouble and
confusion. But what assurance have we
Of this? Under the present constitution, we
have to-day the most chcaply governed
State in the Union. That constitution
was made when prices were low, and all
the salaries fixed by II are far below what
they would be by any Convention called
now. ofthat there need not bo q mo-
ment's doubt. Indeed the raising Of these
salaries isa part of tho motive that makes
many gentlemen who aspire to official
dignites, jealous for Convention.

not it ought TO bO-that there are nulner-
Gus other axes 70 be ground il Convcn-

impartial taxation does not suit certain
very large interests in this State. Ger.

a comparatively limited number, want to
sweep away the clause that prohibits the
state from going into the internal i'm
proyement business. They want the
State to build railroads and turnpikes out
through the mountains to their wild
lands. They would have her pile up a
debt for this purpose as Old Virginia did;
that few persons might be enriched.
That is the kind OF economy that is in
store Ior us in the next Convcn-
ton. ssThe manner in which the
Legislature is manipulated now by pow
erful interests ought to be hint to the

ANOTHER massacre of aegroes is re.
PORTED from Meriden, Miss. The story is
that negro on trial before a white justice
shot and killed that official. An indis-
criminate massacre of negroes followed,
and six were killed "as far as is positively
known"-which leaves room to appre-
hend that the truth has been but partly
told. The Mayor of tho town. who, it
would seem, was a northern man, was
compelled to leave for the North upon
pledge never to return. 1t would seem
from this that the right of citizen of the
United States to live where hc pleases is
not yet secure. There is evidently much
more in this affair than is revealed in our
dispatch.

Abouttwo o'clock this morning a fire
broke out in the rear Of Eberhardts store.

one Of the most valuable portions of the
city. The Taylor House was entirely de-
stroyed. Eberhardts storeroom and the
whole Of the massive block, in which were

Thomas Dugan, s Cos bank, and

Renhardfs wholesale confectionery,

buildings, were consumed. The entire
square between Market street and the
alley west Of it is q heap Of ruins, except
WiSe's clothing store. 1t is the most
destructive fire with which Portsmouth
was ever visited. The total loss will
probably reach two hundred thousand
dollars, with an insurance Of only thirty
or forty thousand dollars. Numerou mar
row escapes were made, but no lives were
lost. The origin Of the fire is not known,
but there are suspicious OF incendiarism.
