From tile Progressive Age.
Gen,i. NJ. VI. Gary,

Among our exchanges comes that
excellent hebdomadal, the Edgefeld
Adycytlser, an old and valued friend
of days +" Lang Syne." In it's locals
we notice that Genl. NJ. W. Gary is
about to present to the world a novel
entitled "Say, my heart. can this be
love?"
One Of our favorite poets, Tenny.
SOU, writes:
SIN the spring, fuller crimson comes
upon the robins breast;
In the spring, the wanton lapwing gets
himself another crest,
In the spring, livclier iris changes on
tho FURNISHED dove,
In the spring, ayoang msn's fancy light
ly turns to. thoughts Of love"
!. In the spring Gary and ,fennysou
are inspired alike; the same soft feel
ling, the same gentle impulses, the
same ss eet aspirations, the same love
Of the brsutiiul, influence both.
How could it be otherwise =
When love raNs the court, the camp,
the grove, -,
The saints below, the gods above"
There is no'novel, we venture here
to say, that will. be sought after with
more eagerness, be read With greater
interest and have more popular run
with the public than that Of our b-ave
and gallant friend, Gqp'A NJ. v,
Gary for,i. it all may rest assured,
Love will take up the glass Of time,
:. and ,tugn it ip ES glowing hands :.
Every moment tightly shaken will run
itself In golden sands:''
. We heartily wish that the result oil
the Gallant Generals novel may bring
about a domestic happiness, =. :
"Of two souls with but single thought
Of two hearts that beat as one" or
And that he may be able to say, a a
he looks back upon the bachelor past
when he takes his bride from bel
fathers hall, ,,..;,..,,.,.., :

leading men Of the South as regards a
CHOICE between such governmen;s s as Grant

Arkansas and some other Southern States,
and a good monarchy, oil agreeing that a

To what would a woman not consent
when her lover 'implored her ?" Tn.
Judge even interposed to assure thu
prisoner that observations of thi.
kind would rather injuretthan assist
! his cause. The indignation against
him in court hardly knew bounds

the reputation Of an unnatural daugh.
ter T. he exclaimed. But he proceed
ed with greater caution afterwards
He. .ridiculed the notion of conyicting
him by reason of his soiled stockings,
Of course there were stockings soiled
with clay to- be found in his posses
sion. Why not? Was he not q ship
breaker? Did not his business take
him constantly into-the mire and clay
of his wharf? Did 1nen's.h lives de-
pend upon the state OF their sIock-
ings? Surely it was not upon such
evidence the jury would consign him
to the sosfold. In such case, who
was safe Z. Then. there had been talk
of white hands. White hands, for
sooth! since when, he wanted to
kpoW, had a fair complexion been q
hanging matter ? Besiles,-it was
altogether mcnstrous would not
any hand look white, thrust out of
the darkness Of the uight into a light
ed room? What dependence was to
be placed upon the dim visinh Of an
invalidP But white or black, it was
nothing to him, and but hat the
murdered mans daughter had for
sworn herself, determined that he
should hang rather than that her .lov-
er should be brought to justice; he
could have satisfied" the Jury that he
Was 1T the back OF the house, and not
at the front, Wien the fatal shot WAS
fired, ard therefore that It was not
possible lie could have been the as
sa.sin Of the late Mr.. Block.
He ended Lis psroration, as he had
begun ills speech, by ASSURING the
court of his absolute innocence, and
then calted'severat witnesses to testify
to his geuerai' humanity and good
conduct.
T,e'Chief Baron summed up the
evidence distinctively and impress
sively but, it was said in coart,
strongly against the accused.
The jury without quitting their
box, found q verdict Of !" GUI4rY.
The presence of mind of the priso-
ner now seemed wholly to abandon
him. He was as one insane from
terror. He interrupted the judge in
passing sentence, with ptotestations
of his Innocence. with cries, sbrieks,
threats, and Impressions. He be-
sought Miss Block to save him :. on
his knees he impioreu Davy J"nes to
say good word for him. He clung
to the spikes in front of the dock,
the jury to reconsider their
verdict and to spare his life. The
chief Baron's sentence was hardly
audible for the ,agonized screams OF
the prisoner, Twas a terrible and
a sickening spectacle. Only BY en-
ploying forcible means could the
man be removed from the
court and conveyed back to prison.
There Was no hope of mercy for
him: No attempt Was made to inter-
cede for him and obtain a modifca-
ton OF his sentence.

To reject the offer of marriage Of a
man Ike Mr.. starkie, supposing that
he was weak enough to make such an
offer, was aproceeding that would be
characterized by Miss Blocks friends
onlyas asort Of" flying in the face
Of Providence" 1t was in vain that
Miss Block represented that she did
not want advice of that, or indeed Of
any kind. Miss Blocks friends knew
better what was good for her than
she knew herself; so they persisted
in giving her advice, which was m

The arrest of Mr.. Starkie occa-
stoned much surprise. Some were
inclined 10 vote the proceeding q
desperate; attempts oh ths.part Of the
authorities at all costs to demonstrate
their activity and to seem TO bedding

Secretary Fish, ever since he
tas been in charge Of tho prcmicr''
portfolio, has been cxerting him
self in the most sedalous manner,
TO strengthen the relation between
this country and tho governments
of The orient; and wo should like
to know If he intends to do any
thing to draw us closer to tho re-
publics ofthis continent. Identity
Of political institutions ought GER
tainly 10 constitute strong bond
of union between these States and
the American people The infu-
cncc Of a strong power like Ours
over these small commonwealths
should be potent, and IL is In this
direction they ought to look for
counsel and aid in developing thor
resources and improving their con-
dition. But instead, VIC find them
going across tho waters for that
which they ought to be encouraged
to get at homo. Our commercial
relation with them is constantly
contracting, while it should cx-
pand, and it is TO English capital
and enterprise that their cnlarging
prosperity is chiefly duo. is's
The rapid strides in material and
intellectual prosperity Of Chill, Cos
Ia Rico and Peru are all through
English influence. Venezuela is
indebted largely to certain of our
American citizens, and have bcen
for years, but we can get no settle
ment out of them, and Mexico is
( getting stronger in jealousy of US
every. day. aAs aset off against all
this. VIC are told that we arc on OK
cellcnt terms with the crowned
heads of Europe, and We are called
upon not only to praise the mon
who are sccuringfor us the royal
friendship, but to provide larger
salaries for useless ENJOYS, and to
admire tho wisdom of that Radical
legislation whose fiscal policy
If allowed full play would soon
ruin our entire commerce. We
wonder if, amid his arlstocratic sur
roundings, Mr.. Secretary Fish evor
finds time to give thought to tho
duties of our american statssmen,
to our sistcr republics, and to the
qinjury which this country is sus-
tanning from tho course it has re-
gently pursued toward them. %
