POETIC AL.
The Bachelors Last Hours.

Not a laugh was heard, not joyous note,
As our friend TO the bridal we hurried ;
Not wit discharged his farewell joke,
As the bachelor went to be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright
Our heads from the sad sight turning;
And we sighed as we stood by the lamps dim light
To think him not more discerning
To think that bachelor free and bright,
And shy Of the sex as we found him,
Should there at the altar, at dead OF mght,
BE caught in the snares that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though Of cake ard wine partaking;
We escorted him home from the scene Of dread
While his knees were Gwfully shaking.
Slowly and sadly We marched him ad0wn
From the top to the lewermost story;
And We have never heard from nor seen the pool
man
Whom we left alone in his glory.

In Which They are Certain to Gain

A Note Of Warning from Our State
Headquarters,
Cautioning ths Sturdy West vir-
ginia Contingent
To Beware Of Radical Pitfalls on
the March TO Victory.
"0ns More Charge and the Day
is Ours"

The Democrats OF West Virgins, on
the 18th inst. won for themselves mag
nifcent victory over their Republican
and Greenback opponents, and thereby
gained the applause and commendstion
OF their brethren in every part OF the
country. But they must not relax their
vigilance, even though the enemy be
routed and scattered. Another battle,
even more important than the last, must
be fought before the friends OF Hancock
can lay aside their aruior. Democrats
must again rally and stand shoulder to
shoulder. In the State election We
gained more than three thousand votes.
Next week we must gain as many more.
There mus. be no tagging; no indiifer-
ence: 10 apathy-but every Democrat
must do earnest work to the end OF the
canvass, and then deposit his vote,
straight, and the result will be a triumph
which will lar surpassthat OF two weeks
ago.

The IatsIigsncGr'. accounts on Satur-

at this place, between Wilson and
Hutchinson, is manifestly erroneous

weather was inclement and the audience
small.
Mr.. Hutchinson obtained no advan-

applause" as was stated. lie was ap-
preached 10y few GreenbacSers after
the meeting, who dissented from his
views and will vote against him. Col.
Wilson sustained himself handsomely

Next Place of Meeting.


Correspondence OF tho Register.
MARTISsBURG, October IL.
The Synod has brought its labors to \
close. Its able, eloquent and distin-
guished members have departed to their
respective homes, leaving behind them
the most delightful recollection OF
their refined and Christian vir-
tues, and of their pious and use
ful work. Seldom has there assembled
i'm our midst more charming anu
interesting body Of men. Martinsburg
NAV well be proud of the opportunity "f
extending its hospitality to so eminent
and meritorious class OF visitors. The
eloquence of Iioge, Leyburn and Read,
the finished rhetoric of Alexander, Gra.
ham and White, the theological learning
of Brown, Campbell and Leievre. and
the legal ability OF Kirkpatrick, Wood
and Darlington will long linger in the
memories of our people.
On Sunday ten pulpits in our city were
surrendered to the exclusive use of the
members of the Presbyterian faith, and
all were filed TO the delight and satisfac-
ton oi our citizens and the strangers in
attendance upon the sessions OF the
Synod.
The interesting case oil the historian
Howison was decided in his favor, so
that he is free for the balance OF his life
10 devote his time to the preaching OF
the Gospel. and no doubt can exist, that
he will make a useful and exempt pry
minister.
All the Sabbath school children OF the
place were assembled in church on Sun
day evening, and touching and appro'
pirate addresses made to them bv the
Rev. James 7. Smith, Of Fre1ricksburc,
formerly of Stonewall Jackson's stah,
and Mr.. SleiSht, of Richmond.
Among the admirable addresses made
from the pulpits on SUNDAY were those
OF tho Rev Mr.. Leps, ot Western flr-
ginia, of the Rev. MIR. Fenlev, OF Rom
ney, and Rev. Mr.. Washburne, OF the
West Hanover Preshytery.
The hospitality OF Martinsburg never
shone out more brightly than upon this
recent occasion. All were eager to en-
terrain the distinguished visitors, and
all lett here pleased with the courtesies
and civilities extended 10 them. Oneoi
our citizens entertained from twenty
FIVE to thirty visitors at every meal.
The Synod has fixed upon Petersburg,
Virginia, as the place OF its next annual
meeting. CALVIN.
