James River and Kanawha Canal.

A Virginia delegation, composed Of members
of Congress and citizens of Virginia ard West
Virginia, called upon. the President last Fri
day morning, and through their chairman, Col
onel Charles S. Darlington, thanked him for
the favorable mention of canals, including the
James River and Kanawha, in his message
Colonel Carrington's address was quite long.
The President replied and said: 81 appre-
ciate the great Importance Of this work to the
commercial interests of the nation, and I am
glad the subject has been brought to the atten-
ton of Congress. hope Congress will give
it sufficient encouragement to insure its COM
pletion. The enormous productions of the
western and southern States interested in this
route demand an outlet to tidewater on the At
lantic coast, and these interests are so impor-
| tant that they must ultimately compel the COM
pletion of this work IN some manner.

Prison Journal.

The Rev Isaac W. K. Handy, D. D., now
pastor Of the old Augusta church, Va, was a
prisoner for fifteen months In Fort Delaware,
during the war. From the day Of his impris-
onment to that Of his release, he kept jour
nal Of everything worthy of note. AT one time
there were with him in ''the pen" ten thous-
and fellow prisoners. With many of these,
particularly the officers, be was brought into al
most daily contact. To nearly every enc be
was known by sight. He visited the sick, pray
ed with the dying, and preached almost daily.
His journal consists of conversations With his
fellow prisoners, In this Patmos of his exile
from his home. 1t .abounds in reflections on
the circumstances surrounding him, and the
times OF which he was an actor. Many of his
comrades were, by bis labogs led to choose ''the
better part" Ali respected him for his IN
hinching devotion to what be believed right
All respected him for his tender sympathy IN g
common distress, and the interest he took il
their spiritual welfare.
These tellow-captiVes are now scattered over
the South, North, East and West. Many vii
recognize the initials Of their own names, and
will recall the attendant circumstances, by the
facts and incidents recorded.
The narration is truthful-scrupuously So
It is easy, flowing, varying from the grave tt
the gay-in fine is just jotting down of wha
occurred at the time. Shall this journal set
the light? What say you, ye fellow -sojourner
in this memorable prison? Will any respond
and speak word through this paper that may
encourage him to make an effort to offer to th'
public this contribution to the history of tht
times OF the ''lost cause" His address is Mt

Poetry.
The Death of the Old Year,
BY ALFRED TENNYSON.

!
Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
| And the winter winds are wearily sighng
Toll ye the church bell sad and slow,
| And tread softly and speak low,
| For the Old Year is q dying.
| Old Year, you must not die,
You came to US so readily,
You lived with US so steadily,
Old Year you shall not die
He leth still, he doth not move
He will not see the dawn of day;
He hath no other life above
He gave me friend, and true, true love,
And the New Year will take 'em away.
Old Year you must not go;
So long as you have been with u.s.
Such JOY as you have seen with u.s.
Old Year, you shall not go.
He frothed his bumpers to the brm
A jollier year we shall not see;
But though his eyes are waxing dim,
And though his foes speak i'll Of him,
He was q friend to me.
Old ear, you shall not die,
We did SO laugh and cry with you,
I've half a mind to die with you,
Old Year, if you must die.
He was full of joke and jest,
But all his merry quips are DER.
To see him die across the waste
His son and heir doth ride post haste,
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own,
The night is starry and cold, my friend,
And the New Year, biithe and bold,
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he Dreathes over the snow
l heard just now the growing cock,
The shadows flicker to and fro;
The cricket chirps the light burns low;
'Tis nearly twelve O'clock
Shake hands before you die,
Old Year, we'll dearly rue for you;
What is it we can do for you?
Speak out before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin.
Alackl our friend is gone
Close up his eyes, tie up his chin;
Step from the corpse and let him in
That standeth there alone.
And waiteth at the door,
There's new foot on the moor, my friend
And a new face at the door, my friend,
a new face at the door
