Oetftl if U Cottage and Hallt Baby has crept to his sheltering nest, Now that the day is done, and with weo head pillowed upon my breas: Has gone to sleep with the SUD. Roses and dimples, are baned quite "Under tho snow of my bosom white, And over my henrt creeps a ringlet bright A beautifuf golden one. Baby is king in our humble cot, Enthroned in our hearts sits he; ,f^* And never a kiog had merrier lot "? Than baby, it seems to me. For ldVo in his presence waiting stands, With tremulous feet'and willing hands, Ready to fly os each whim commands, And his humble slave to be. Baby is heir to no title old, Nowhere boared away Aro deeds of acres and heaps ef gold, Which are to bo his one day, But bis is a-beritage better than fame, The well earned wealth of an honest name, Which never hus known the brand of shame Qed grant it norer may. ' So when my household tasks aro o'er, And baby, tired is he, I sit downlioro in tho cottage door, In tho shade of a giant tree, And watch where tho broad road winds awi j Till somebody cemes through the gloomy gray And a loving hand in my own doth lay, And kisses baby i.nd me. ? There's a rich man's mansion over the way, And through tho curtains of luce I saw, in tho arms of? its nurso to-day, A babe with a weo pale face. And I saw through tears, what I saw besid. For not all tho trappings of wealth and pri?e The little mishappen form could hide, ?for clothe it with simple grace. And a lady oft at tho window stands, I have dreamed of those as fair; . But I wonder if ever the jeweled hands The gems of affection wear, Or thc golden curls, over hcrbrow which stray, Are ever for kisses brushed away ; Her husband has other loves they say, And his heart bas a homo elsewhere. So I love to sit in the eottago door With baby upon my knee, And count to my heart the blessings o'er Which have gilded my life for me; For there's many a heart which knoweth n>t Thc joys nnd loves of my bumble lot, And would rather bo queen of a simple cc t, Than a lady of high degreo. THE ?NVESTME.VT: OR THE TWO MERCHANTS. 'Can you loan rae two thousand dollars to stablish myself in a email retail business ? iquired a young man not out of his teens, (?I middle-aged gentleman?--wbo *? ?.? fc...,p rer a pile of ledgers in the counting room ol ie of thc largest establishments in Boato i. he person addressed turned toward the jeaker, and regarding him for a moment ?th a book of surprise inquired : .What security eau you givfi me, Mr. Strcs 'Nothing but my note/ replied the .you:ig ian promptly. 'Which 1 tear would be below par in the ?arket,' replied the merchant smiling. 'Perhaps so,' the young man replied, 'but, [r. Barton, remember the boy is not the man; bo time may come when Hiram Strosser's ote will be as readily accepted as that ot ny other man.' 'True, very true,' replied Mr. Barton, mOd r 'but you know business men seldom kan ?cney without adequate security-otherwise bey might soon be reduced to penury.' At this ramarJ? the young mau's counten nce became deadly pale, and having obse-v d a silence of several moments, he inquired i a voice whose tones indicated keen disap oiutment : 'Then you cannot accommodate me, can ou o?? 'Call upon me to morrow, and I will give ou a reply,' said Mr. Barton, and the yoi ag ian retired. Mr. Batton resumed his labors at tho dtsk, ut his mind was so iSuch upon the boy ant' is singular errand, that he could not pursue is task with any correctness, and after bav ag made several sad blunders he closed tho ?dger, took his hat and went ont - upon '.he treet. Artiving opposite the door of a realthy merchant in Mill street. Le entered be door. 'Good morning, Mr. Hawley,' said he, ap roaching the proprietor of the establishment, rho,was seated at his desk, counting over he profits of the weeck. 'Good . morniDg,' replied the merchant, ilandly, 'happy to see you ; have a seat ? iny news, how's trade ?' Without noticing these interrogations, Mr. ?arton said : . 'Young Strosser is decirous of establishing limself in a small retail hasinai* in Wasblng on street, ami called tjiis morning to se.nire if mo a loan of two thousand dollars for that idrpose.' 'Indeed !' exclaimed Mr. Hawley, evidently urpriscd at this announcement ; 'but you do lot. think of loaning that sum, do youY" 'I do not know,' replied J}:irton. "'Mr. >trosscr is a young man of business talent .nd strict integrity, and will be likely to suc ked in whatever he undertakes." 'Perhaps so,' said Mr. Hawley, coubtfully; but I am heartily tired of helpiBg to rj-es ablish thesejoung, aspirants for commercial loners.' 'Have you ever'suffercd any from sucha ?ource ?' inquired Mc Barton, at the same ime casting a roguish glance at Mr. Hawley. 'No,' replied Mr. Hawley, 'for I neve:: felt nclined to make an investment of that kind.' 'Then there is a fine opportunity to co so. Et may prove better than tho stock ic the ?ank. As for myself, I have concluded that, if you will advance ono- thousand /dollars, 1, ?rill contribute an equal sum.' 'Not a 6ingle farthing would I advance for ?nch a purpose ; and if you make an invest ment of that kind, I shall consider you very foolish.' Mr. Barton observed & sjUmce of 6? vera) moments, and then arose to depart, 'Ifyou do not feel disposed to share wirb ! me in this enterprise, ! shall advance the whole sum myself.' Saying which, he left the store. ? * * * m * * . j Ten years have passed away since the oc currence of the conversation recorded in the preceding dialogue, and Mr. Barton, pale and agitated, is standing at thc same desk as when first introduced to the reader's attention. As page after page of his ponderous ledger was examined, bis despair becamodeeper and deep er, till at last he exclaimed : 'I aro ruined-utterly ruined V 'How so ?" inquired Hiram Strosser, who entered the counting room in season to hear Mr. Barton's remark. . The last European steamer brough: news of the failure of the house of Per?eh, Jucksjn & Cb., London, who are indebted to me ia the sum of nearly two hundred thousand dol lars. News of the fuiluro has become general, and my creditors, panic stricken, are pressing in ray paper to be cashed. The banks refuse rae credit, and I have not the means ti meet my liabilities, ff t could pass this crisis, perhapi I could rally again, but it is impossi ble ; my creditors are importunate* and I cannot much longer keep above the tide,' re plied Mr. Barton. 'What is the extent of your liabilities ?' inquired Strosser. 'Seventy-five thousand dollars,' replied Mr. Barton. Would that sum bc sufficient to relieve you V .It would.' 'Then 6ir, you shall have it,' said Strosser, | as he stepped up to the desk and drew a check for twenty thousand dollars, 'Here, take this and when you reed more do not hesitate to ? call upon me. Remember that it was from ? you I received money to establish myself in J business.' ] 'But that debt was cancelled several years 1 ago,' replied Mr. Barton, as a ray of hope shot t across his troubled mind. f 'True,J replied Stosser, 'but the debt of j gratitude that I owe, has never been oancell- t ed, and now that the scalels turned, I deem t it my duty to come to the reset.e.' At this j singular turn in the tide of fortune, Mr. Bar- t ton fairly wept ior joy. . - a His paper was taken op as fast as it-was a sent in, and in less than a mouth he had pas Bed the crisis, and stood perfectly safe and secure ; his credit increased and his business improved, while several other firms sunk un der the blow, "and could not rally, among whom was Mr. Hawley; alluded to at the com raencement of this article. .-'How-did you manage to keep above the tide ?' inquired Mr. Hawley of Mr. Barton one morning, several mouths after the events last recorded, as he met the latter upon the street, on his way to his place of business 'Very easily, indeed, I assure you,' replied Mr. Barton. ' Well, do tell me how?' continued Mr Hawley, 'I claim to a good degree of shrewd ness, but the -strongest exercise cf my Wits did uot save me ; and yet, you whose liabili ties are twice as heavy my owD, have 6lood i he shock, and have come off bettered by the storm. 'The truth ia, replied Mr. Barton, 'I cashed my paper as soon as it was sent in.' 'I suppose sor* said Mr. Hawley, regardin_ Mr. B; with* look of surprise, 'but how did you obtain the funds? As ior my parti could not obtain a dollar credit ; the banks refused to take my paper, and my friends even ieserted me.'' .A little investment that I made some ten years ago,' replied Mr. Barton, smiling, 'has recently proved exceedingly profitable.' 'Investment !' echoed Air. -Hawley, 'what investment. 'Why. do you not remember how I estab lished young S'rosser in business some ten tears ago ?' '0; yes, yes,' replied Mr. Hawley, as a ray jf suspicion lit up his countenance, 'but what ? that?' 'He is one of the heaviest dry goods dealers n the city ; and when this calamity came OD, ie came forward and very generously advanc ;d me seventy-five thousands dollars. You enow I told you, on the morning 1 called to jffer you au equal share in the stock, that it night_prove bctter..lhaa.aa j^sestaieat ia the i-^ During this announcement Mr. Hawley's ?yes were bent intently upon the ground, and Irawing a deep sigh he. moved on, dejected still sad, while Mr. Barton returned to his place of business with his mind elated and ini mated by thoughts of tba singalar invest ox&nL Stick by thc Old Land; We have, on several occasions, when the pr...-pecti for the people of the South were very dark ?f'ter thc clo^e of the war. and when Brazilian, Venezuelan and Mexican em igration societies w-cre urging the people of the South to seek to better tLeir fortunes in those countries, uttered our .convictions that the bettor, and certainly thc most patriotic course, was to stay at borne and aid in thc noble work of retrieving thc losses the war brought on the South. In this position we were sustained by General Hampton and oth er true Southerners. We have now another evidence that we were right. The Hon. Robert Toorabs is now au exile in Havana, but Mrs. Toorubs has re cently visited Georgia, aud says thaf, her hus band's advice to the young men of the South is, that they remain at hume, as he consider ed the Southern States much preferable to Brazil, Mexico, or Cuba, He very truly says that their strength and energies arc particu larly needed at this timo to rebuild the shat tered fortunes of their section. This, added to the fact that their own country is just as good it'not better.than the countries named for making a livelihood or competency, ought and doubtles will decide many, whose misfor tunes prompted them to think Df emigrating, to stay at bowe Mr. Toombs is a wise, exper iencpd and pa triotic gentleman, and one having the wel fare of the South at heart.' His words are those of wisdom, and should be heeded ac cordingly.-Columbia Phoenix. Military Commissions. These monstrous appliances of. despotism, military commissions, have received another blow. Judge Nelson, of tho U. S. Supreme Court, has just rendered a decision on an ap plication for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Mr. John ^gan, of South Carolina, convicted by ono of Mr. Daniel p. Sick les? drum head courts, ot manslaughter, for kill iog a negro boy, and sentenced for life io thc Albany Penitentiary iii this State. Judge Nelson has directed the discbarge of tho pris oner, declaring that Mr. Sickles bas no right or authority to overthrow the civil law in South Carolina, which was ampia to take cog nizance of the case. Thus, this engine of ty ranny totters to the ground ; but why is net this man Sickles caught, caged and punished? Why should he be allowed tOj^afrcst and try men, and send them to prispn illegally with impunity ? Surely, there is nothing in his character or anteeedents.to render bim worthy of any lenity. It is here shewn that he was guilty of overthrowing the laws and trampling upon the rights and liberty of the citizen. Why, then, should he not be taught a lesson, and "made to.feel that he cannot act the ty rant without meeting a due punishment for his crime ? There haye been some men executed in the South since the close of the war by these shoulder-otrap gentry. Whoever they are, they are guilty of murder, and no time should, be lost in having them arrested and tried. We must mako an example of some of these wretches, or else all our gocd decisions will go for naught, Hang som?"one of these men who have thus set the, lat^s a ; defiance, and it will do more to preserve the liberties of th6 people in tie future than any and all other causes combined. But let all these men, Who have bung civilians at their drum head court martinis, escape, and- good-bye to liberty, to freedom aud good government, Tho life of no man is safe, where these military assassins can ply their trade with impunity.. A people who will allow such wretch-is to live among them, muah less do them hai'tn, deserve to be slaves. Aye, they are infinitely meaner than slnves, for they mako a pretension to be free men, while their emasculation and cowardice provo them to simply have the forms of men without either the spirit or vigor which nat urally bolong to their race. When the axe of justice falls upon tho neck of some one of thoce military tyrants, tho diystar of liberty will begin to rise over this darkened land. New York Day Book. .-:-? ?-?

After some other unimportant business th Court adjounrned until Wednesday morrrinf. SECOND tfAV'S PROCEEDINGS. Tba court re-opened at ll o'clock.

Mr. Davis' counsel-Messrs. Brady, 'Reac md Brown, with the junior counsel, Messrs shea, Gros3, Edsail and Van Sickie-were al cady inside the bar-Brady ranging round he enclosure like a lion, the'" observed of all ibaervers," tweaking his tufted Forreston bin and holding conversation herc and there. lead in his seat, contemplative and-deep, or ooking up to reply to a word from some nember of the bar; aud answering with a deliberate inclination of the head, which is a leculiarity with him.

Shortly after ll o'clock Judge Underwood ntered, and tho Court^roc- eded to business. ."The Judge signified that thc Couri was eady to hear Mr. Hennessey, the District Lttorney, in reply to the question by Mr lavis1 Counsel "Is Jeffer?on Davis to be tried, nd if so, when?" Mr. Hennessey arose, and, reading from the IS., addressed the court as follows : May it please your honor., yesterday Mr. W. i. Read, one of the counsel for Jefferson Da is, propounded certain questions to the court nd to mc, which, in the absence of Mr. ?handler, I at that time declined to answer. Ir. Chandler is still absent-beiug, I regret j say, entirely prostrated by a recent severe om estie calamity ; and, ts Ipromised, Ito ay proceed to reply to the questions of the .anted gentleman. That gentleman correctly says that an in ictmeu.t has been found in this conrt against is client, Mr. Davisj and asks, " Is-it to be .ied ? ls it to bo dropped? or is it to be ispended V" So far a-1 am instructed, I elieve it ?3 to be tried, but it will not be ossible to do so at present, for a variety ol :asons, some of which I proceed to give. In the first place, Mr. Davis, although in icted in this court for high treason, is not ow, and never has been in the custody of tis court, but is hold by the United States overnment ?s a State prisoner at Fort Mon >e, under an order of the President of the nited States, signed by thc Secretary of War. lit lilfluinncuJtufljiQi LfliiRiMuV?u fe? Dt be possible for tho Attorney General, in ow of bis new and pres>ing engagements, ?ar the close of thc ses;ior. of Congress, to )me here now and try this case, which, as a LSC of great national importance, he would ? expected to do. Io the third place, if Mr. Davis is in the dicato state of ttcalth suggested by Mr. Read. would be nothing less than cruel at titi.-. )t and uoheolth}' season, io expose him to ie unavoidable.fatigues of a protracted trial, hich appears to bc inevitable, from the ar y of counsel, present and prospective, en Lj;ed for his defense. Neither this court nor any of its officers ive any present control over the person nf r. Davis, and therefore, it becomes impos ble for thc District Attorney to say when ! will bo tried; buttLis I assure the gentle en who represent him here, that the hour r. Davis comes into the custody of tins art they shall have full and prompt notic hen it is intended to try him, and, so fyi' tts e District Attorney and his associ?t? s ar ncemcd, they may be assured their client ?ll havo a just and speedy trial, without rther " barrier, let or hindrance." This I say_ lbr the special depanment of e court which I represent, but what the in itions of the Government are willi .rpgard tho dispoMtion of Mr. Davis, I am no rther instructed than I have said. 1 now move, may it pieaso yonr Honor, at this court, as soon as the business b< ton is disposed of, adjourn until the firs!

Wu * ink him for his polite response to our ques- p ns, and of courso wo leave the question such action a<? tho Government may here- a er think proper to take. ti PLY AXD DECISION OF JUDGE UNDERWOOD, a Judge Underwood, in response, said : It ti lt remains for the court to say that the & strict Attorney has correctly represented I ; view of the Government upon this matter. 'j e Chief Justice, who is expected to pre- U e on the trial, has named tho first Tuesday * October as the time that will be most con- * (flent for him ; and tho Attorney General Jj peed) hos indicated that it would be utter- 1 impossible for him, under the pressure cf J i many duties (now greatly increased by 1 a troubles on the Northern frontier,) on sp j1 ort notice, to give that attention to this 1 eat question which i ts importance demands. I Under all the circumstances, the court is ?posed to grant the motion of thc District ttorncy ; and I think 1 may say to counsel . r at Mr. Davis will, in all probability, at that1 ? time be brought before the court, unless his case shall in the meantime be disposed of hy the Government, which is altogether possible. Jt is within the power of the Preside.t of th?' Uni tod" Slates to do wha.t he pleases in thw?" (.matters, and I presume that the counsel i r I Mr. Davis would probably nod it for the in terest of their client to make application di rectly to the GovernnientTst Washington ; but ; this court would not feel justified in denying, at t?is time, this application of the Chief] Justice and of thc Attorney General. When tti?3 conn adjourns, it will adjourn | not until Mte next tern., (which is,in Novem: \ ber,) but until the first Tuesday fn October ? next. As it is supposed, from the array of j counsel on both siuca that iiave beer? no.n-.oii. J it will be a long trial, in which great political and constitutional questions are io be dis cussed anrl8cn!ed. probably Ulong two mein tbs, it would undoubtedly be much more comfor t'tble lor counsel, a,s well as Mr. Dam him self, to tiave these months in the fall rather than in the summer, because it is n even v.-ay more comfortable in Bichmo?d at that time than n<>w. ir: the heat nf ?Ummer. I think the counsel is mistaken in suppo sing that Fortress Monroe is notas comforta ble a place in.summ'. r as Richmond. When \ I have bren there In ihe .-uuimer 1 have found j the sea breezes very refreshing. - Mr?-Brady-(to tho Judge)-Bet very j limited society, v-.ur Eionor. [Laughter.] j Judge Underwood-(continuing)-The so i eie'.y is limited. JJowever, tho Government ' is disposed to estera ev ry reasonable privi lege. And I am happy to know that the wife of tho prisoner ii permitted to be with him, and that his friends are permitted to v . it him. Thc motion of t!:.^ District Attorney is therefore granted. This Court will adjourn not uutil November, but until the first Tues day in October next, to meet at ibis place. It would bc Septembt-r, hu!- September is a hot month;, and, on the whole, the'Chief Justice and the Attorney G'.neral prefer it should bo October, when, I presume, if not before, this case will be disposed of. The People Moving.

TIRED OF PROCLAMATIONS.-tho Shelby ile Union is growing weary of the President'? roelamations. It remarks : It is said that the President is preparing lother " peace" proclamation. Wo arc get? ng tired of the proclamation' busincs-, od unless the President stops it, his repdta on will '.uffer, as did a certain Major Gcner I John Pope's up in Virginia ?ome years age-. : the President really intends to restore civd ,w, let bim do so, in so many words and len stop. If he does not so intend we can ;e no use in talking about it. When he ter aes his proclamation let it be in plain Eng sh, and susceptible of but one construction, 'he Radicals are frank as to their policy, and tiere is no chanco to misunderstand whtit bey .mean.
