OVER THE RIVER.

sV NANCY A. ". PRIEST.
Over the river they beckon to me-
Loved ones who've crossed to the farther
side;
The gleam Of their snowy robes / see.
But their voices are drowned in the
rushing tide.
There's one, with ringlets of sunny gold.
And eyes. the reflection of heavens own
blue; ...a.-.
He crossed in the twilight, gray and cold,
And the palo mist hid him from mortal
view.
We saw not the angels that met him there:
The gates of the city We could not see;
Over the river, over the river,
Ny brother stands waiting to welcome
me!
Over ths river the boatman pale
Carried another-the household pet;
Her brown curls waved in the gentle
gale
Darling Minnie see her yet!
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled
hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom
bark;
We watched it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely
dark.
We know she is safe on the farther side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the river, the mystic river,
My childhoods idol is waiting for me!
For none return from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatman cold and
pale;
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
And catch gleam of the snowy sail,
And, 10! they have passed from our
yearning hearts;
They cross the stream, and are gone for
aye;
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates Of
day;
We only know that their bark no more
May sail with us DER life's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere, know, on the unseen
shore.
They watch, and beckon, and wait for
me!
And I sit and think, when the sunsets
gold
Is flushing river, and hill, and shore,
/ shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound Of the boatmans |
oar;
1 shall watch for q CLEAN of the tapping
sail;
/ shall hear the boat as it gains the |
strand;
shall pass from sight with the boatman
pale,
To the better shore of the spirit-land;
l shall know the loved who have gone
before,
And joyfully sweet shall the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The angel of death shall carry me!

Want OF space last week pre-
vented our making mention of tho
remarkable public meeting in Phila-
delphia. on Friday, the 18th, to
denounce the murder of Major Oc-
tavius V. Catto-ayou and highly
esteemed colored man, professor in
q colored institute-in the election
disturbances Of the Tuesday pre-
vious. One would have to go South
for a parallelinstance of cold-blooded
assassination, in which tho police
were abettors, two of them having
released the murderer after he had
been handed over to them, and q
third, whose protection was besought
by the victim. having answered him
las he himself testified on the
stand), "Protect yourself; you have
q pistol" Doubtless it was the
complete fraternization Of tho police
force with the rioter-not then
exhibited for the first time, but
then most villanously-that special
ly reused the indignation of the
citizens OF Philadelphia who met in
National Hall to do what they could
to retrieve the sulied reputation of
the city. It was q gathering of
great numbers and eminent re-
spectability, and, considering the
occasion Of it, even at this distance
from the Emancipation Proclama-
tion' almost epochal in it's character.
Among the speakers, both white
and black, Colonel Mcclure struck
the keynote when he said that it
was not the mission of the meeting
ito seize the murderer and execute
hasty punishment" but to invoke
public sentiment against the spirit
Of caste which had induced this
murder. This spirit has, as every
body knows, fingered longer in
Philadelphia than in any other
large city in the country; ani, in
'act. logically. there is but q single
step from the exclusion of colored
people from the horse-cars to the
'hooting Of Major Cato. Remem-

Iended this exclusion, We fear that

that ef the Internal Amerikens and

lessness and prescription for opin-
ions sake is rendering the property
and lives of Union men and Repub-
licans more and more unsafe, and
fear the worst consequences if the
Executive Office should be
filed by one not only in sympathy
with those who urge on and inAame
this feeling, but who is moved and
actuated by them. With no one in
the Executive Office to call upon the
general government for protection,
its friends and supporters would be
handed over without mercy to the
assaults of their enemies.
For these reasons, I have de-
termined on this step, believing that
much which has already been &C.
complished can be preserved
through the wise and firm check
upon revolutionary measures that
will be given by Governor Conley
in control Of the Executive branch
of the Government. and that there
by the good Of the whole people OF
Georgia will be promoted and I
shall cheerfully give to Governor
Conley all the information and as
sistance within my power that he
may desire.

PROSPECTUS
OF
The L0uisisnian.

IN the endeavor to establish another
Republican journal in New Orleans,
the proprietors of the LoUIsIANrAN,
propose to fill necessity which has
been long, and sometimes painfully
felt 10 exist. In the transition state
ofourpeople, in their struggling efforts
to sttain that position in the Body
Polite, which we conceive TO be their
due, it is regarded that much infor-
mation, guidance, encouragement,
counsel and reproof have been lost, in
consequence of the lack of a medium,
through which these Deficiencies might
be supplied We shall strive to make
,se LoUnIANLAN desiderdtum in these
respects.

Intelligence from Havana.

Havana, 10. document issued by prom
inent insurgents who lately surrendered, and
signed by over 5000 persons, says: In the
future we will adhere to the throne of Spain,
and are now disposed to aid the government
We have seen our illusion vanished, because
the country failed to support it, and the gov
eminent of Spain is now sufficiently strong
to maintain the integrity of its territory.
The insurgents now in the field are mostly
negroes under the leadership of 1gnacio Ag
ramonte, who rebelled against CespedesA Not
a house is lett standing between Los Tunas
and Morrow, and the desolation is terrible
All hopes by the insurgents of surrenderin
have been given up, and the destruction of
the country is rapidly going on. The negroes
are working to make themselves masters OF
the situation and are dominant in the distri IS
lately occupied by tie insurgents. The sur
rendered insurgents protest against the pro-
longa.ion of fight, and consider that the sal
walton of the country is obtained, and look
forward to reconstruction and early peace
The Signors praise Valmeseda and his policy
and ask the King to make concession to the
Island after peace is established, naming as
speciality social constitution to adjure
past errors, and believe that they represent
the majority of their party. Fifteen thous-
and insurgents have surrendered during the
past year in the central departments, and say
undoubtedly and collectively that they are
ready to perform whatever duty is required
of them as Spaniards.

Stands the Test of Time.

Mrs. John Young of this city states that in
lo56 she purchased a fifty dollar Wheeler 6
Wilson sewing machine, being at that time
fully informed Of their excellence over all
others. This machine has been in almost I'M
interrupted use ever since Ga period of fifteen
years, without even the most trlihg repairs
on many totally different materials, such as
stitching the edges of soldiers overcoats,
overcoat Innings, ladies' boots, dresses, shirts,
boys jackets, pants, tucked and hemmed cot
ton cloth, linen, nansook, and Swiss muslin.
A l-2 needle was used year without even
removing it from the machine, and used on
the usual heavy and light garments worn by
ladies and gentlemen. She has earned not
less than three thousand dollars (S3, 0O0)
with it. The machine is in complete order,
none of its parts being worn, and bids fair to
be willed to those who come after her. Mrs.
Young's machine can be seen at her resi-
dence opposite j. P. Wyman's mills.
