—— The TH atchmnm, © Stanzas, BY HARRIET J. MESK. Ruheirse no more those gloomy tales Of doubt, distrust and fears ; Close up the well-worn ann 1s That stain the page of years My beart is iu 1ts springstiue, And life is © -erywhere ; 1 pray thee press a cautious foot Amid the blossoms there. The lingering light of childhood Still smiles above the throng, And hope deferred and trust deceived To coming days belong. Tell mo of songs that ever sound Beneath unclouded skis ; Or speak of fath that fuils not And truth that never dies, And frown not ocr the rainbow That spans the morning star ; It fades a8 quickly as it formed Before we journey far. Enter my spirit’s thereshold When Hope has furled her wing, Ard lay upon the fireless shrine Your gloomy offering. Come when the dust of noontide, ‘That cleaves to later hours Fas gathered all the precious dew And stained the trampled flowers. 1'll tell you where the flow’rets closed, And when the blight came on, And how the day-dreams vanished Until the last was gone ; Cr when my fest grow weary, And every azure ray 15 sleeping 1a the yellow gleam Of Life's departing day. Cowe when the setting sunshine Gleams down the darkened glen-- We'll sit beneath the shadows dim And read the record then. bra ¢ Busted” Up. The accounts from Port Royal, which are to the 10th inst., will prove a source of real mortifica- tion to the Andrews, Greeleys, McMichaels, and other negroites A letter to the New York Tumes suys I'he Negro Brig.de organized by General Hunter has yroved an unmitigated failnre. Out of eight Liundred contrabands on the mus- ter roll, there were some five hun- dred who ¢ skedadled,” and many of the remainder felt ko uneasy under military control and disci- pline, that they watched for op- pertunities to escape. Those who have deserted have mostly joined the rebels. On Saturday last, a rumor pre- vailed around Hilton Head that the famous negro brigade would be disbanded that afternoon. The rumor of the disbandment proved correct ; for General Hun- ter had despatched an Adjutant and several officers to Elliott’s plantation, where the brigade was in camp. On the arrival of these officers their purpose soon spread threugh the camp—creating the wildest joy among the “soldiers.” The fragmentary remnant of the brig- ade soon fell into line, and were officially disbanded. They were delighted, but not more so than the white troops. The ex-sold- iers rushed to and fro, and were soon busy in making preparations for their homes in Beaufort and other places. A short time since, five deser- ters from the negro brizade were captured while sailing with arms, ammunition, §c., in a boat at Seabrook Ferry towards the main land, occupied by the rebels. They were placed n irons, and are now confined at the Rip Raps, A letter to the Herald says: The experiment of negro sold- iers has been tr'ed They will not answer the purpose for which ‘they were created. Whether General Hunter’s course was ad- opted with a view to strengthen the army, or to benefit the con- trabands, or to build up popular- ity for himself, it has certainly proved unsuccessful ; and so, with less ceremony than attended its beginning, it has been abandoned. The conservative policy of the Administratiom has not been without its effect in closing the’ military career of the negroes ; but I nevertheless believe that General Hunter had become thor- oughly convincep that they would never be of any benefit either to him or his command. Placing them on a level with white sold- iers, who came hither from their comfortable homes to fight for their country at thirteen dollars a month, had no good effect upon the volunteers. The negroes, before insolent aud supercilious, became more so as they were el- evated; and instead of being treated kindly, as they had for- merly been, the spirit of dissat- isfaction begotten by their gay uniforms and fine airs vented its- elfin sundry and divers kicks and cuffs and jeers, which kept both ant and continual foment. Now that the negroes are returned to the plantations and to the work shops, where they belong, and the work of ending the rebellion is recommitted to the hands of white men, we may hope for a better state.of feeling, not only in this department, but through- out the country. eee Gen. Clay's Farewell to Russia. The following were Cassius M. Clay’s remarks to the Czar on leaving Russia to return to this conntry. He isexpected to ar- rive in a few days. Your Imperial Majesty will see from the letter of the President of the United States, which I have the honor to bear, that he recalls me at my own request. Had I consulted my pleasure rather than my duty, I should not have ex- changed the attractions which surround your Imperial Majesty’s Court for the hardships and dan- gers of the field of battle. By this devotion to my country, your Imperial Majesty will measure the depth of my gratitude that you have magnanimously stood by us in our time of need, of hu- miliation, and of national peril. That gratitude is felt by every lover of our great republic, at home and abroad. Should I sur- vive the war to enjoy that more stable peace which I believe God reserves for our country, it shall be the purpose of my life to cul- tivate and strengthen that grati- tude for your Imperial Majesty, your house and your people. My countrymen know already what you have been to us—I shall tell them of the clemency, of the firm- ness, of the sublime courage which your Imperial Majesty displays in your magnanimous efforts for the progress and glory of your own people. To have personally known and enjoyed the gracious consideration of the most illustri- ous among living men who will be known at all time, not as the Czar of all the Russias, but as Alexander II., will be to me the most precious of lifes memories. Sed in leaving your Imperial presence, I go to mingle my as- firations with the great millions of the Western world, that God will prosper and have in His holy keeping your Imperial Majesty your Imperial house, and the for- tunate millions of people under your paternal rule. A Reugrovs Dog.—The N. Y. correspondent of the Boston Journal is responsible for the following : In the ancient and beautiful town of Chatham, New York, is a very remarkable dog, whose character and behavior would excite the admiration of all good men. On week days he is a dog of like passions and behavior with other animals, but on Sun- day his peculiarities and secta- rian prejudices shine out. Un- like the crow, he can count, and knows when Sunday comes.— He isnot the same then as on other days. He indulges in no pastimes. He encourages no company and no famiiarity. He says in action louder than words to the vain and canine race—Six days shalt thou play and do all your sports. The family are all Presbyte- rians, but the dog is a Methodist. On Sunday mornings he attends the family on their way to church leaves them at the house of the Lord where they attend, and goes on his solitary and unbro- ken way till he comes to the Methodist church, which is a lit- tle further on. When he reach- es the church, he goes up-stairs, and has a pirticular place in which he sits; and when an in- truder ventures into his place, no belle or madam of fashion, who goes sweeping up the aisle of Grace and finds a plebian in her elegant pew, can give more de- cided indication of displeasure and annoyance than does the dog His seat yielded, he attends the services with decorum, and pays dogmatical attention to the word of Scripture. Every Sunday he can be seen on his way to church foul weather as in fair—and his denomieational prejudices are as well known as those of any gen- tleman in town. The times are hard. If they get much harder, we may look whites and blacks in an unpleas- out for breakers A countryman (farmer) went into a store in Boston the other day, and told the keeper that a neighbor of his "had entrusted him with some money to be spent to the best advantage, and he ment to do it where he would be treated the best. He had been used very well in Boston by the traders, and would not part with his neighbor’s mon- ey until he found a man that would treat him about right, With the utmost suavity the tra- der says: I think I can treat you to your likmg ; how do you want to be treated ¥’ ‘Well’ says the farmer, with a leer in his eye, ‘in the first place I want a glass of toddy,” which was forthcoming. ‘Now I will have a nice cegar,’ says the coun- tryman. It was promptly hand- ed him, leisurely lighted, and then throwing himself back, with his feet as high as his head, he commenced pulling away like a Dutchman. ‘Now, what do you want to purchase ?’ says the storekeeper. ‘My neighbor handed me two cents when I left home to buy a plug of tobacco,” answered the farmer, i sold as low as in Philadelphia and New ork.
