sUMMER-AN INVOCATION.
BY BEN DOUGLAS.

o, Summer, Summer, from the South,
Return return to me- IA
Send precious odors DER the fields,
And balm across the sea
Send swallows back with love for me,
Bright birds to build in bush and tree,
Send forth the winds from summer lands.
Where colling fountains glide
Where groves ofcitron stretch away
To blue Tecuco's side;
Send bees to swarm the clover beds, 81
And blossoms, where the lawn outspreads
Blow from the City Of the South,
Where hundred crosses CLEAN.
Where spire and palace proudly high
Reflect the mornings BEAM
Blow softly that the grass may hear
And lift its blades in praise and cheer.
O. send the swallows North again
Bring life TO buds and rae
Along the hedge'row put the thrush,
That he may sing to thee
That in the hazel and the briers
May rise the song of mimic choirs.
Send me full beakers of the South, =
Full beakers, winking, COOL
Filled from the precious Hippocrene,
And send, o, send them full,
That life may not arapture miss
But be lingering swell of bliss.
0, Summer. come and smile again.
Come give US bloom and sun
Send swallows, andI'll know you'll come
My heart, my heart you've won
Let leaf and wind in laughter play
And roses charm my soul away.
| would make mirth in clover blooms,
The hours in joy prolong
My hedTt-6irdS should the muses. call,
The answer would be song
o, spe rkle dew drop, dark, or shine,
The cherries heart shall not be mine
O, lovely world of cloud and sun
y, world SO sweet and fair
But to some flower I'll tell my love
That will the message bear
To Him--who lent the rose perfume
With sinless lips of precious bloom.
Then haste O, Summer, from the South,
Come, swallow to the caves;
Come, robin, sing in orchard boughs.
Come, sunshine and come leaves
Sing, D, my soul sing, birds, O. sing,
And let our praises reach the King.

MIXED SCHOOLS.
Successful Attempt of Admitting
Negro Children into the White
Schools.

There was considerable excitement
among the public this morning in conse-
quence of some rumors that the question of
admitting negro children into our public
inqniries which we instituted at several OF
theApublic schools, the rumors proved to be
true in SO far as colored pupils had been ad-
mitted into two white schools as far as We
could ascertain.
Into the Madison Girls School, at the cor
ner OF Palmyra and Prieur streets. nineteen
new pupils were admitted this week. Three
of them are colored. They are Fanny and
Emma Dunn and Charlotte Kennedy, ad-
opted children of Lieut.. Gov. Oscar j..
Dunn. They were brought 70 the Madison
School. Yesterday, by their fOster-mother,
Mrs. Dunn, and admitted by the principal,
Miss Carrie Kassonss Fanny Dunn and
Charlotte Kennedy were admitted into the
principals department.. and Emma Dunn
into the second assistants department.
They are the first pupils known TO be col
ored, who, as Miss Kasson informs rs, have
ever obtained admittance into the Madison
Girls School. In consequence OF the mixed
school question being thus suddenly
brought to an issue, two pupils of Miss KAs-
sons department Left the school this morn
ing. Miss Kass0n told us that they We're
her best pupils. As matters stand, IL Is sns-
pected that other parents will also take their
children from the Madison School.
From the principal of the Madison Girls
School. we further learn that, on written
order of Thos. W. Conway, State Superan-
tendent of Public Education, six colored
boys have been admitted into the Bienvine
Boys SCHOOL,
In other schools, which we visited this
morning. the attempt OF having negroes adj
mitted had n0t yet been made. Grave fears
are. however, entertained, now that the OUT
rageous work has been fnaugurated.

Mr.. Benefits resolution looking to the
suspension of portion of the tax levied
by the Legislature, is significant admis-
sion of its injustice and oppressiveness.
The Radical lawgivers in their revelling,
are beginning to read the ominous writing
on the wall. They are weighed and
found wanting. The burden of taxation
thrown on the people is simply unbeara-
BE. Its collection is an impossibility.
The people have not the means to pay it;
and if their property is sold under the
Sheriff's hammer in the present financial
distress, it will be sacrificed to the greed
of Shylocks for a mere song. They may
be imprisoned under the barbarous law
levying the tax, but this will only throw
an additional burthen on the treasury and
increase the public distress. Senator
Bennett of the majority, seeing this fa-
tai consequence of the act of the party
that elected him, now proposes that it
retrace its steps. But is time left to
modify or repeal the law before the col
lection of the tax is required? The linn
itation will soon expire, and, whatever is
done must be done quickly. The tax
gatherers, hungry like pack of wolves,
are bowling on the track of their game.

The taxpayers of Vicksburg have
held meeting recently to make known
their views on the subject of the existing
tax-laws, and to petition for relief from
the insupportable burden which they
have imposed. From long series of res
lutions, we extract the following
Resolved, That the prostration of all bus
mess and the present pecuniary distress con
sequent upon the decline OF cotton from
500 per bale-iIs value when the present
crop was pitched-to $50 per bale, its pres
ent value, make it absolutely necessary that
expenditures both private and public should
be made upon the most economical scale,
and should be entirely avoided when not
called for by absolute necessity.
Resolved, That we solemnly protest against
the oppressive taxes levied by the board of
supervisors of the county, and we respect
fully but earnestly request said board to
appoint a committee of their own body to
meet committee to be appointed by the
chairman Of this meeting, on Monday, 23d
day of January inst- to considered the
question of county taxes.
Resolved, That this meeting cordially en-
dorse the action taken by Senator Bennett
of the State Legislature in endeavoring to
have the State tax suspended; and we re-
spectfully ask him and all the members oi
the Legislature to amend the revenue law
of the State so rs to make the State levy Il
instead of % of one per cent. on all proper
ty in the State.

The State University.

We understand that there are not ex-

probably less) students at the Universi-
ty, showing falling off of more than
One-half from the previous session under
the attempt to organize it on Radical ba-
sis. Nothing but the timely warning
and earnest remonstrance of portion of
the press of the State against the re-
mOval of the old and devoted friends of
the University from its management to
give place to the alien pretenders and
public enemies of the people whose
money is relied upon to sustain the insti-
tuition, and against the insiduous scheme
: to convert it into a nursery of radicalism,
have saved it from utter desolation. The
schemers were brought to pause in their
mad career; and under the influence of
the indignation which had become awak-
ened, the Faculty registered publicly
their solemn pledge that they would in
stantly resign their places if the Mon
grels who composed majority of the
ROard should forbid them to look into
the faces of the applicants to determine
the color of their skins. Nevertheless,
the falling off in the number of students
exceeds one-half under the partizan ma
neuvering of the Radical authorities.
