A WAR POEM FOUND
AT NORTH CAROLINA HOSPITAL
1t Was Published in the Richmond
Dispatch in 1861 and Was Written
on the Death of a Soldier.

The appended poem was found
among some old papers by d patient
at the State Hospital, Raleigh, and
given to DR.. L. j. Picot. his physician,
who says:
Nixon is an honored name in Per-
quimans county, and it is quite prob
able that his soldier came from that
section. This little poem is offered
for republication with the hope that
some member Of his family may find
and mark his last sacred resting
place
Whereas was SO often done
We carved not a line, we raised not a
stone,
But left him-alone with his glory"

He sleeps, but not where the tall pines
shade
The home of his boyhood's years;
On the crag his head Is laid,
We moistened the spot with tears.
A far-off moan from the Blue Ridge
tells
Where he sank on the ground to
die;
Anon it bursts into fitful spells,
hen speaks in a whispered sigh.
Q, why did they bring the soldier, so
brave,
Where friends might not gather
round him?
In the rift of the rock his bed is made,
And the eagles scream has found
him.
At his country's call to the ranks he
sped,
Giving his name to story;
ana where Virginia wounded, b1ed,
Inc North State rushed to glory.
Inen weave him a wreath, where in
silence he lies,
In the land OF the mountain and
stream;
Bedew it with tears. enrich it with

Mexican Census.

The counting of noses in the Republic of Mexico will be com menced on the first of the coming September. In order to obt ain the best possible result instructions have been issued by the depart met of fomento and the following plan will be followed: All the jefes politicos and mayors of all the towns and villages of the republic will divide their districts into four divisions, and these divi- sions will again be subdiyided, and the subdivisions into single streets.
 In each town committee will be appointed, which will be under the jurisdiction of central com mitlee located at the capital of each state. The local committees will appoint distributors empadro- nadores |, who will deliver the pa pers to be filled in. These dis tributors will in turn be under the surveillance of an inspector ap- pointed in the large cities by the department of fomento, and the in- spectors themselves will be over looked by a general inspector of the census whose name will not be known to the inspectors until he visits their office.
 Tine statistical department has at present a large list of all the in- habited spots in the republic, even of places where there are not more than two inhabitants, and to each governor of state a partial list will be sent covering the inhabited points in his own particular state, the governor will revise the list, returning 1t to the statistical sec- tion with any corrections or addi- tions which he may consider neces- sary. The system which will be used was the invention of the Mexi- can government, but it has been used also by the Russian govern ment, which has found it pro ductive of the must satisfactory results.

this important mystery. The state is
liable for damages amounting to $40
per voter, and the people have alright
to know the facts. A Democratic leg
islature will enable them 10 obtain the
facts, Even a Democratic house
alone will have the power to force
information from those who are with
