STONEWALL JACKSON. [The memory of Stonewall Jackson lias received few tributes more touching iu simplicity and pathos tliau the following beautiful poem, published iu the New York Citizen," of which Charles G. Halpinc is the editor. Mr. Halpiue, himself a poet of rare taste, was an officer iu the Uuitcd States army during tlio late war, and is well known to fame ns "Private Miles O'Reilly." The poem in question, he eays, is from the pen of a distinguished officer of the United States Nary.] He sleeps all quietly and cold Beneath the soil that gave liini birth; Then break liis battle-band in twain, And lay il with him iu lite earth! No more at midnight shall lie urge ilis toilsome march among the pinos; Nor hear upon the morning air The war shout of his cluirgiug lines. Cold is the eye whose meteor gleam Flashed hope on all within its light; And still the voice that, trumpet toned, Rang through the serried ranks of tight. No more for him shall cannons pi.rk, Or tents gleam white upon the plain; And where his camp tires blazed of yore, Brown reapers laugh amid the grain ! No more above this narrow bed Shall sound tho tread of marching feet, The rifle volley, and the crash Of sabres when the foeincn meet And though the winds of autumn rave, And winter snows fall thick and deep Above his breast?they cannot moTe The quiet of his dreamless sleep. We may not raise a marble shaft Above the heart tliut now is dust; Bat nature, like a mother fond, Will ne'er forget her sacred trust. Young .\pril, o'er his lowly mound, Shall shake the violets from her hair; And glorious June, with fervid kiss, Shall bid the roses blossom there. And round about the droning bcc, With drowsy hum. shall conic and go; While west winds all the livelong day ^Sliall murmcr dirges soft and low. The warrior's stormy fate is o'er. The miduight gloom hath passed away; And like n glory from the East, Breaks the first light of Freedom's day! And white winged rence, o'er all the land, Broods like a dove upon tier nest; While iron war, with slaughter gorged. At length hath laid hiui down to rest. And where we won our onward way With fire and steel, through yonder wood, T he black bird whistles, and the quail Gives answer to iicr timid brood. Vet oft in dreams his fierce brigade Shall sue the form thoy followed far, SliU leading in the furthest van ? A landmark in the clouds of war 1 And oft when white haired grandsircs tell Of bloody struggles past and gone, The children at their knees will hear How Jackson led his columns on ! O A R I> TO THE MERCHANTS OF THE SOUTH. 11IIE UNDERSIGNED, WHOLESALE dealers, advise you of the fact that ('baric.- ton is again a market for the purchase of goods, and in \icw of the early opening of (he spring trade, we beg to solicit tlie resumption of the patronngc so liberally extended to this market in the past. We are aware that many old and respecte 1 firms will be missed from our number, hut many familiar names w ill ho found in new associations, ready to supply the wants of tlie i rime, us 01 yore, uml other old and new firms will be added to our number hi tut early day. The cash ami short credit system having been universally adopted in nil the Northern markets, wc are necessarily compelled t<> adopt a like system us the only safe one i cover bad debts will now be avoided. Small profits and quick returns will be the rule, and under its working we hope not only to restore to our ancient city her former prosperity, but to i xti u 1 her trade to the full extent of tlio capabilities hi r excellent geographical position and natural advantages afford. Our interest and ambition combine to stimulate us itt attaining the result. The Smith Carolina lUilroad is now open to Columbia, and its President has officially in formed us that the Augusta line will be com plctcil to Hlackvillc this month, and that <>u the first of February he will receive through freight to Augusta. A line of stennu 11 ! > S i vanua will ufford facilities for shipping in that direction. It is our purpose to have in store by the last of February a complete an I varied assortnicnt of goods in our respo -t ive lines adapted to the spring trade, and every exertion shall he made to promote your inter cats. We extend to you the hand of commercial fellowship, and solicit your co-operation and patronage in our efforts to make Charleston the centre ofSouthcru trndo. (jive us the encouragement we ask, and you will enjoy all the advantages of a cheap home market. Gootls. W.T. BURGK A CO EDWIN BATES it CO. J. R. READ it CO. STRAUSS, V ANCK A CO.
