Ih?v fancied, sometimes, the'Bc bent beam That trembled to earth in the patria dream, W#as a ladder of song in the wildei rest, From the pillow of stone to the bl the blest, And the angels descending to dwell us here, "Old Hundred," and "Corinth," "China," and "Mear." All the hearts are not dead, not u: the sod, That th ose breaths can blow open to H en and God Ah, '.'Silver Street" leads by abri golden road Oh, it is not the hymns that in harm flowed- Vi But these sweet humored psalms in old fashioned c'ioir, To the girls that sang. al,to-the girls sang air Let us sing in his praise," the mini said, All the psalm books at once fiutti open at York;" Sunned their dotted wings in the w< that he read, While the leader leaped into the t just ahead, And politely picked out the key 1 with a fork, And the vicious old viol went grow] along At the heels of thc girls in the 1 oar of song. I njed not a wing-bid no genii coine With a wonderful web from Arab loom, When the world was in rythm, and was its rhyme Where tho streams of tho years rlo\ up noiseless and narrow, That across it there floated the song c sparrow For a sprig of green carraway carries there, To the old village church and the old l?ge choir. When clear of thc floor, my feet slov swung, And timed the sweet praise of the so as they sung, Till the glory aslant from the afterno sun, Seemed the rafters of gold in God's te; pie begun You may smile at the nasals of old D< con Brown, Who followed by scent till he ran t tune down-. And tho dear sister Green, with mc goodness than-grace, Rose and fell on the tunes as she stoi in her place, And where "Coronation" exulti?g flows, Tried to reach the high notes on "the ti; Of her toes To the land of the leal they went wi their song, Where the choir and the chorus togeth belong. 0, be lifted, ye gates Let me hear the; again Blessed songs, blessed Sabbath, forevc amen "A Word to alie Wise." As our readers baye no doubt ol served for themselves, the hope our enemies is thaft the arbitrar measures inaugurated in certain pari of South Carolina may' provoke th citizens to some measure of resistance This hope is indulged, to the em that an excuse may be furnished io still further tightening the coil o empire" around the South. Presi dent Grant wants this excuse, aw they who in South Carolina have se cured Federal intervention and mili tary law for purposes o;' their own also want this excuse. As to th> South Carolina faction, headed by A S. Wallace, the utterance of Lil H?ge discloses their animus. Thei: motto is, "Cry havoc! and let si i the dogs of war," upon thi.?State, or at least, upon certain parties thereof In view of this, as we have befon said, it is incumbent, upon us to ac circumspectly, to take no untenabh ground, to keep ever-even techni cally-right. We are certainly in deplorable condition. Whilst th< prospect is dark indeed, w.- see n( occasion for nervous fears orunmanl) misgivings. We see no occasion foi inactivity or despondency. As wei as we may, let us, with heads ereci and "level" and spirits undaunted pursue each of us his dhily avocations Let the business of the State be prose cuted to the best advantage. Lei the farming, the mercantile and the mechanical interests of our people meet with no uncalled for neglect We have this faith-before expressed -that these waves that ha vu-roller! over us must ere long recede. Wt have this faith, that what there is o: justice in our cause will surely tri umph. We feel that the.?e words, addressed to our fellow-citizens, iti sober earn estness and deep sympathy, will bt received in the spirit wherewith we send them forth on this Sabbath morning. Thc press, thus far, is un shackle'd. It ought to meet the occasion. It has great principles tc lift up befere the country, and a dis creet, firm, just public sentiment tc encourage and build np. For one, as a journalist of Carolina, we intend to do what in us lies, to mitigate the blow and to temper the great calami ty that has fallen upon upon oui stricken fctate. Whilst ?e have nc apology to make for crimes commit ted, and no disposition to shield those fairly proved to have violated the law, yet we do raise our voice against the causeless measure which puts a large portion of the State under the law of the' bayonet and the swbrd. Some there are, we know, who cannot appreciate the deep feelings with which we reflect upon the indis criminate arrests and rude incar ceration alike of innocent and guilty persons. Come what may, we shall stand by the State. Service in her behalf is agreeable-it is sweet and honorable. The State of South Caro lina, in her distress, most needs the devotion of her true SOUP and noble daughters. Let us now stnnd by her broken altar?, and even in our pov erty and weakness, pour upon them the rich libations of an ardent patri otism.-Columbia Phoenix. AN EXTRAORDINARY TRAGEDY.-A crime has been very recently. com mitted at the suburb of Stockwell, near London, England, so strange and so heart-rending as to have caused a sensation all over the land. A cler gyman, schoolmaster and author, six ty-seven years of age, of spotless re putation, suddenly, and without pro vocation of which there is so far any knowledge, has murdered his wife. The deed was done with desperate and resolute purpt.e, for the poor wo man's brains were literally b-aten out and the assassin afterward de liber;:t'ly sat down and wrote the following note To the Surgeon I have, killed my wife in a fit ul rage. Often and often she has provoked wo, and I nave endeavored to ret myself, but rage overcame me, I struck lier. Her body wil found in the liitle room oft' the 1 s ry. The key is in a letter 01 f table. I hope sh? will be burie becomes a lady of birth and pos: i She is an,Irish lady, and her i t is Anne." Having prepared confession, and written some letters, the miserable man took a of strychnine. The poison, how failed to destroy him. The phys who was summoned was enable 1 preserve his life, and the Rev. tfelby Watson has now been put 1 trial for murder. The Flying Governor. NEW YORK, November The times says Governor Bul of Georgia arrived in this city yei day. He states that all his of! accounts "^re matters, of record, that Governor Conley has a'deta 1 statement of all financial transacti and'that there is no foundation w ever for the wild charges tnat are ing made against him. He st that he is ready for any-fair inv< gation, and intends soon to retur Georgia and demand it; but he is willing to permit any, arrest at th? stance of: his political enemies Georgia, because his friends ad him it would result in his being Kluxed by a mob, under the inst: tion of the men who were so n grasping the State Government, i have been so nearly and effectiv Toiled. The Tribune says, "The* lette: Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, announc bis resignation, is not very clear uj the pointe on which the public dei more light. He says he resigned cause there was a conspiracy to* i peach and remove him, and that resigning he defeated that conspira Some people will say that he gave his office to escape impeachment, 1 Gov. Bullock also says that by si rendering his office into the hands the President of the Senate, Mr. Cc ley, he seco red an honest successor. As we understand' the case, 3V Conley would* have .become the acti Governor, even if Bullock had be removed by the conspirators; aud t retiring Governor expressly says th no proceedings against Conley ha be?n suggested. The whole affair certainly very hazy." Changes in the Cotton Trade. [From the New York Evening Post.] Contracts for the future delivery staple productions were first mat soon after the wars of Napoleon, Stettin, on the Baltic. The artic! dealt in were grain and rapeseed oi This method of doing business wi suggested by the military contrac ol' the French occupation, and by ti stock transaction of London an Paris: The merchants of Breme and Hamburg adopted the contrac system as soon as telegraphic con munication was opened on the cont neut, and when England joined tn continental system by submarine cn hie, the German merchants at Live: pool adopted the firm offer" aietho in their hourly transactions with th cont incut. Agent:; were placed i thc principal cotton-spinning dh tricts and to them these "firm offers were made. The changes in the price of cotto daring our late war lent additions zest and impetus to this mode c transacting business,' and, mercurin as the cotton market ever had beer it was rendered more so by this innc vation. The effect ot anv change in political or mercantile affairs wa felt at once, and the good old time of a leisurely commission business b; correspondence passed away. Pin chases and sales "to arrive," by tele graph, were at once added to th firm offers," and the whole machiner thus created now rules the cotton the grain, provision and petroleun exchanges of Europe and America Firms unwilling to conform to tin new system began to lose their mos valuable commercial connections anc at last reluctantly yielded. The present and immediate fntun being continually anticipated, or, ir technical phrase. discounted," th? future-contract business increasec ?Univ, and now greatly exceeds th( so-called "soot" or immediate delive ry business. In correspondence, tin daily quotations ceased to be interest in? except so far as they related tc actual private transactions, and un less one had sufficient strength oi mind and boldness to canvass the fu ture of politics, finances and crops his letters were laid aside with pro voking indifference. One-half of the business of thc telegraph, on land and m the sea now turns upon transactions anticipa ting the fut ure, and more than half thc time of our active merchants is spent in the open thoroughfares and on ex chang?, in shaping their course ac cording to the varying values of the staple in which they deal. Solid grocerv articles alone are free from this change, but the indications .are that they will soon yield to the new order of things. The future" cotton business, so called, in this city, already exceeds that of Liverpool. A spinner may sell a quantity of goods to deliver at any future time, and can immediately cover his contract by buying a pro portionate number of bales of cotton. A planter may consider a certain price to be remunerative, and can in stantly dispose of his entire crop many days before it is picked or ginned. The cotton business, so far as the handling of the article itself is con concerned, is evidently about to leave this city to some extent and return to cotton ports, where the European spinner prefers to buy. But these future" contracts are an important substitute, and by means of them the. cotton business of New York will be fully maintained. >m9,,-_ {?3?** A young lady sitting at a front window in Danbury, Massachusetts, toss I ing in her band what might have been a ball of white vam, attracted the uiicn tion of a middle-aged man on the street, whose gallantry prompted him to hold up .his hands for a catch.
