Difficult Navigation,

The water in the upper Cape Fear
liver is at present so low that naviga-.
ton is rendered very difficult and
nearly impossible. The Gov. Worth
started from Fayetteville on Monday
morning, bright and early and lid
not reach Wilmington until yesterday
at nine O'Clock. She reports the
water on the shoals below Fayetteville
to be only eighteen inches deep. The
wave started about the same time but
did not arrive here until Tuesday
night.

Muster for the ballot glorious,
Freemen of the Empire State,
Rouse to meet the foe notorious;
Meet him ere it be too late,
With your ballot--wiih your ballot,
Crush the object Of your hate,
See he stalks with footsteps CORY,
See him trample down and shay
Mark the blooming and the hoary,
See them fall beneath his sway,
Rally, rally, rally, rally,
Beat him on the battle dry.
Shall the bloated king of horrors,
With his minions longer boast2
Riot on the drunkard's sorrows,
Fatten to the poor mans cost?
With your ballot--with your ballot,
Box him furious'fro your coast.
Shall the greedy reckless vendor,
Rogues and paupers multiply?
Rob ones purse Of lawful tender,
Tax US for their own supply?
Freemen rally, freemen rally,
Try them at the boxes, try.
Let the houor of our nation,
Let the cry Of others woes,
Wake our zeal, our hearts compassion,
Urge US forth 10 meet our foes.
Voters rally, voters rally,
Rally all al freedoms polls.

SAMUEL TowNsRHD.-We publish q lettel
to-day from Samuel 7 1ownsend, Esq, of a p
poquinimink in defence Of ex-Judge Fisher
for which we bespeak a careful perusal--
M. Townsend is well and extensively known
~ an old-fashioned Democrat, who slwayi
speaks what he believes to be the truth, re.
gardless Of the consequences. From hi
plain, out-s,oken, devil may y-careish manner
he is apt to be regarded as savage, hre-eat.
ing Democrat. q determined, /, oh stinate partl.
Fan. but those who know him intimately al
ways speak Of him a. kind friend, and
obliRing neighbor. He was bitterly opposed
to the enfrsnchisemento Of the colored people
but he would readily rise In the night to
minist unto the meanest Of them in case
Of suffering. His style Of speaking and writ
ing is peculiarly his own, but from his direct
manner he runs no risk ofever being mlsun-
derstood.
His letter in defence Of Mr.. Fisher, pub
Iished in the Gazette, Of Tuesday, is an In
stance Of magnanimity. rarely sho Wn by any
violent politician to an opponent, particularly
at the present time, when It seems to be the
special business of ene party to blacken the
character Of sas 9tnss FEsr ID come from the
Commercial and Evsry EveniNg Of this city,
while that of the Gazette and Herald, go 1T
tingly rebuked by Mr. Townsend was merely
arepetition Of ISLANDERS for political purposes,
but coming from the Commercial, Republi-
can paper, these Democratic journals were
only too glad to show that the special organ
Of our oficeholders was opposed to the pres
ent administration. 1t may serve the pur
pose of the Commercial In thi, instance to at.
tack the Pre-. ident through Mr.. Fisher, and
some Of the Democratic Journals for mere
party Purposes, but the testimony Of Mr..
Townsend, a political opponent, long and in
timately acquaint with Mr.. Fisher, will
outweigh all that can possibly be SAID against
him by the scandal mongers, whose vile
ISLANDERS prompted Mr.. Tewnsend's generous
defence. Few Democrats could afford to
take up the cudgel for a political oppoLent,
but Mr.. Townsend could not be deferred
from deing an act Of simple justice. by any
party considerations. He is not afraid of los
ing caste among his friends. He reco gnizes
no law that would bride his tongue from
speaking the truth nor staying his hand from
doing generous act, and in coming to the
defence Of Mr.. Fisher. when he is hunted BY
pack Of merciless wolves, Mr.. Townsend
commands increased respect from the best
men Of both political parties.

OLD TIMES.

There's beautiful song on the slumberous air
That drifts through the Valley of Dreams;
1t comes from a CLINE where the roses were,
And tuneiul heart, and bright brown hair,
That waved in tile morning beams.
Soft eyes OF azm and eyes of brown.
And snow-whitc foreheads were there;
a glImmering Cross and Il glittering Crown,
A tliorny bed and couch OF down,
Lost hopes and leaflets of peayer,
A breath of Spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet warts from the quivering pines
Blue violets eyes beneath green hoods.
A bubble OF brooklets. scent Of buds,
Bird MARBLES and clambering vixcs.
\ rosy wreath in n dimples hand,
~ ring and 4 sighted VOW
Three golden links of a broken band,
A tiny track ON the snow-white sand,
A tear and 4 >inless brow.
There's tinctiire of grief in the beautiful song
That sobs on the slumberous air.
And Loneliness felt in the festive throng.
Sinks down in tile soul rs it trembles along
From, CLINE where the roses were. I-i
We heard it first at the dawn OF day,
And it mingled with matin chimes;
But years have dstanced the beautiful lay.
And its melody fioweth from lar away,
And we call it now. Old Times.
