The Little People. A dreary place would be this earth Woro there no little people in it; ' The song of life would lose its mirth, Were there no children to begin it. No little forms like buds to grow, And make the admiring heart surronder No little hands on breast and brow To keep the thrilling lovo cords tender. No babe within our arms to leap, No little feet toward slumber tending; No little knees in prayer to bend, Our lips thc sweet words lending. What would the mothers do for work Wero there no pants or jacket tearing ? No tiny dresses to embroider? No cradle for their watchful caring ? No rosy boys at wintry morn, rf With satchel to the school-house hasting No merry shouts at homo they rush, No precious morsel for their lasting. Tho sterner souls would got more stern, Unfeeling nature more inhuman, And man to stoic coldness turn, And woman would bo less than woman. For in that clime towards which we reach, Through Time's mysterious dim unfolding, Tho little ones with cherub emile Arc still our Father's fuco beholding. So said His voice, in whom we trust, When, in Judea's realm a preacher, He made a child confront tho proud, And be in simple guiso their teacher. Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm?, Wero there no babies to begin it; A doleful piuco this world would be Wero there no littlo people in it -? ? Death of a Great Composer. The great Rossini died jit PiTVis on Saturday, at the age of seventy-six. He was a man of prodigious genius ; a man also of prodigious indolence. God gaye him the greatest .talent voucheaT?d zo any lyric composer of this generation, and for thirty-eight years he has hid that talent and denied the world all fruits therefrom. He was a gourmand and a voluptuary. His years were spent in ministering to his own vanity and his own bodily comfort, most to that of his palate. "When he was young and poor he worked, never consecutively or faithfully, but mostly on emergencies. Having an opera to compose, and six weeks in which to compose it. he passed four of them in idleness, and then by the aid of his fertile genius did the work set apart in the remaining two. His ideas flowed with astonishing rapid ity. He asked only for pen, paper, and a fit libretto, and, these before him, nev hesitated for a moment as to what he should write. He would compose in bed, and so incredible was his laziness, and so great the fertility of his inven tion, that when a fine duet that he was writing, and had almost finished, slipped off the bed and beyond his reach, rath er than get up for it, he took another sheet and composed another duet entire ly different from the first. At the age : of thjrty-flve^.atrtli?-VOry. crown hf Ina life, and in the ripeness and fullness of his great powers, he suddenly broke off wor?c, threw down his pen, and gave himself up to idleness and ease. Up to this time he had composed thirty-eight operas and some minor works. Most of them have fallen into oblivion; the names only are remem bered. The unpublished scores are in the libraries of the opera 'houses scat tered over Italy.-Kew York Sun. Double-Headed Colored (i ris, The New Orleans Picayune thus de scribes a wonderful natural curiosity, to be seen in rhat city : We paid a visit on Friday to that most wonderful of Nature's freaks, the double-headed colored girl, or perhaps it would hm more correct to say , the two girls in one. For convenience, we shall speak of them in the plural. They are entirely distinct, as far as mind is con cerned, laughing and chatting with each other, and Doing apparently upon'the most intimate terms, and one may have a headache or a'cold^without the other being affected, but arryvi"everu or' other serious disease, affects rjofli c?juaLL)^ Their bodies are separate from the small of the back up, each having a perfectly formed bust and head, two arms, &c, and each has two legs, but there is only one trunk. Both are remarkably intel ligent, reading and writing with ease, wliile thsir manners are really refined, i In quite a lengthy conversation, they did not make a single grammatical error, and their language was unusually select. Upon questioning them as to their edu cation? they replied that they had been carefully taught by their former mis tress, Mrs. Smith, in Columbus, North Carolina, in which village they were born. They are now fifteen years old, and more than ordinary bright for girls of their age, having had the advantage of foreign travel. The)*both sing very sweetly, one having a soprano, and the other a contralto voice, and we have rarely heard two voices that blended so perfectly in a duet. Arnon?; their other accomplishments is that of dancing, and the manner in which they manage to execute a waltz is .truly wonderful. When standing at ease" the left foot of one and the right foot of the other do not lie flat upon the floor, but rest upon the toes. In walking, however, they step with all their feet alike, though they can hold up two feet and walk with perfect ease with thc other two. In speaking of them as one, they are called Millic-Chrissic, but in addressing them separately, one applies the dis tinctive appellation, she on tho left be ing called Millie, and she on the right Chrissie ; though Chrissie, in addressing her other half, calls her " Sister." There is a striking resemblance between their faces, and tho conformation of their heads is much the same-Chrissie being perhaps a shade brighter than her sister, and rather more talkative. Before see ing these strange girls we had fancied that we would experience a feeling of repulsion, but the first glance at their bright, cheerful faces dispelled that idea effectually. --? ? J8?"* A singular case has just come be fore the French tribunals. A young girl eleven years of age attempted" suc cessively thc life of her mother and sis ter, for the sole purpose of drinking their blood. The child has been exam ined by competent physicians, and prov ed to be attacked by the strange mania of anthropophagy. Her extreme youth loads tko physicians to hope that her cure may oe accomplished. The Revolution in (nba, It is now more than a month since the eastern provinces of Cuba have been disturbed by revolutionary movements. All the available Spanish" troops nave been concentrated there, a dozen en gagements have been fought, and the insurrection is still in full vigor. From a letter published in the ".Messager Franco-Amerieain," we learn that the seat of war is confined to the mountain ous part of the island, east of Puerto Principe, and. that thc contest, from be- j ing a guerilla affair, has become a war conducted in true military fashion. A provisional government has been estab lished at Bayaino, at the head of which are Francisco Aguilera and Carlos Coe* pedes, the first a rich planter, and tue second a distinguished lawyer of-Baya mo. Though Farge slaveholders, they are both in favor of the abolition of slavery. Some twenty other persons of wealth and influence in Eastern Cuba are embarked in the movement. Most of the insurgents have liberated their slaves on the condition that they shall aid in securing the independence of Cuba, and in all the guerilla bands are to be found a certain proportion of; negroes, who fight courageously by the^ side of their former masters. In th? insurgent ranks are also severalAiuir dred veteran Dominicans who have grown gray in the civil wars'of that re public, and, strangeto say, a number of young creolearr? mulatto women, who handle anpMTre their muskets like-old ?jo?di?fsT' Some of these women, it is said, belong to the best society, and ex ercise a marked influence upon their leaders and fellow-soldiers. The Pro visional Junta proposes soon to send an agent to Washington to demand of the United States Government a recogni tion of their rights as belligerents, and will show that the revolutionary army already numbers over seven thousand men, and that the Spanish authorities are utterly unable to malee head against it. Several severe engagements nave al ready taken place, in which a body of Spanish troops under Colonel Quiros, and another commanded by Colonel Lono, are reported to have been deci dedly worsted. Meanwhile, telegraphic communication with Puerto Principe is cut oft' It is not known whether the revolutionary movement projected in that city has been commenced, but there is no dor ht that several hundred Cubana from thv. neighborhood have sone to join the insurgents at Bay ama. Ru mors arc rife of an attack upon Santia go de Cuba, to be aided by the inhabi tants of the place] In view of these grave complications, the Captain-Gene ral, Lersundi. lias recalled General Rav ft-.iet. rommandini: in Eastern Cnlia_-aWLp. scut thither General Alunoz, who dis- 1 tinguished himself during the invasion of the island by Lopez in. 1S54. He is expected to act with promptness and vigor, and lias been promised large rein forcements. This will leave but two or three thousand Spanish troops in Wes tern Cuba. Thc result of the revolu tion will depend largely upon the atti tude of the districts of Matanzas, Vuel ta Abajo, Cardenas and Havana: The latest accounts from Havana dated on the 12th state that the govern ment troops-eleven thousand strong were besieged in Manzanillo by a large force of insurgents who were only three miles distant. The Spaniards, mean time, were throwing np barricades in thc streets for protection. Accounts from Santiago report that a large force of insurgents were within four miles of that place on the Gili. Great panic ap pears to have prevailed, for it is said that hundreds of families had cleared out for Jamaica. The confusion is re verted to be immense all along the coast, and a significant cry for aid from the United States was prevailing every where. Some of the wealthiest families Irxthenslnnd have linked their fortunes with the ?ause of the insurgents. All the towns fromsEuerto Principe to San tiago except tliree^r?-ju the hands of the insurgents. So disa&i?Ushas been I the result of collisions in thelnWipr to I the Spanish troops that they are aitfti^. \ to venture out of ?he towns. The Ne York brig Jenny Clark, with arms and; ammunition, had been seized at Nuev?| tas by the authorities, and a load o: arms for the government troops, also from the United States, had been cap hired bv the insurgents. . THE PRACTICAL BEAUTIES OP MOR MON PoLHiAMY-A Gentile woman in Utah lately gave a correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial this little^ but j telling sketch of the practical workings^ of the Mormon system : Kow there's Eph. Roberts over there -pointing to a .-tone house near thc mountain-he brought a real young, delicate wife from New York, nowgoiu' on sixteen years ago, and she worked hard, I tell you ; why, I've known her to do all her own work when Eph. had three liands and the thrishin' machine at his house, and som times she works out in the field, bound wheat and raked hay, which, you know, is awful on a delicate New York woman-?'taint as if she'd been raised to it like we folks and after all, just last year, Eph. went and married another woman, a real young one. not over twenty, and doutt you think, this spring she knocked Mi na-that's his first wife--down with the churn-dasher and scalded her. Eph. j stood by and just said: "Go in, Luce ; j kill her if you can." it all started j about a churn, too. Both wanted to use : it at once. Maria had it, and her but ; tor was a little slow in comin', and they 1 got mad, and Luce struck her, and then I snatched the kettle right off the stove and poured hot water on her feet ; so she fell down when she tried to runout. And what was the result, finally? Well, Maria left him; of course, she had to or be killed. It's very nice, though, ib*r the men. I had a dozen chances to marry old Mormons, but law ! I wouldn't give that for all of 'ein. Why, just j 1 turn things around and let a woman ?I have two or three men. and see how ? 1 they'd like that.

He will oubtless recommend in his message and the Legislature, it ?3 presumed, rill carry it out,) to fund the interest n bonds due up to July last. It is un erstood that North Carolina, Georgia nd Tennessee have m.ide similar ar angemonts. The incoming taxes will, ie thinks, be sufficient to meet the in erost accruing.

That in State, as elsewhere, intelligence wealth is competent to mould the ; tics of the country, and that at an c lay, South Carolina may and will remanded to the government of S< Carolinians. That to secure this re the sooner, it is essential that we sin yield to some extent dur preconce opinions on thc subject of suffrage, unite on the platform laid down rec ly by the Central Executive Comini if the Democratic party, which ass Irhtr colored man that when restore power, \r^vr?l?f?^aplly und ungru ingly secure to him a liberal quali mJfrage, based on cducatioiTvand pi 3rty. This will not only be just,' br. ?atisfactory to the intelligent, ppr tro ;hem, as I have had ample . assurai They well know that the present coi tion of things is unnatural and unj They know that the Constitution pressly provides that the States si regulate the elective franchise, each itself. That Congress has no powe: interfere in the matter, and that rule for the South and another for North cannot continue to exist in a ion of co-equal States, under the st fundamental law. They know thal taking this position, we put them, af thc ballot, on the same footing the m favored of their race have ever herc fore occupied in any State of thc Uni and more favorable than any ot' State, North or South, has since th emancipation agreed to put them They know and admit, that the gr majority of their race are totally ui to use the ballot, or appreciate its val that whilst the youths of the country white men,-from sixteen to twenty ( years of age. alfhougli conrpellefl t? b their part, in their service of the Sti arc not permitted, however intelligi they may be, to cast a vote until p twenty-one years, and that the wh man of foreign birth who comes into 1 State to remain, however learned a wealthy, has to undergo a probation five years before he is allowed to ? proach the ballot-box. They know, they regard the privilege of voting worth anything to them, (which a vt large majority of them, from the exj rience they have had, do not,) that t right to a qualified suffrage based property and education, would be powerJi.il incentive to them to acqui property and educate themselves ai children. Knowing theso thing.", ai that tho definite settlement of the qu< tion will remove the only stumblii block in the way of our harmony ai prosperity, I am quite sure that the are but few of them who would ha^ the temerity to expect more, andVwi would not be entirely satisfied with su< a settlement of the question/ I tal it, therefore, that itJjk-tne iinperati1 duty o?4?b?rr^(embx^?y, to take a fo laaif'Iiberal and irrevocable stand ( this subject as early as practicable. Aside from this question, our dui and interests alike demand, that n should treat the colored race with kim ness, humanity and liberality, aidiri them in their efforts to improve then selves in education, and all the arts an requirements of civilization. They ai amongst us, and will remain here i long as we can remain, unless the: Northern friends should determine t destroy them, as they have done th North American Indian. They ar constitutionally adapted to our climat* and their labor, if properly utilized an directed, is not only necessary, to ou united prosperitv, but is the best tba can possibly be had on any terms. Ou interests, therefore, demand-Christian itv and civilization demands, that w shall properly appreciate and accept th ?changed relations of society, and pursu towards the colored race such a course aa by aiding them in the pursuit of con tentment and prosperity, we shall th more assuredly and certainly secure ou own. But, fellow-citizens, we must at onc< realize, as I have before remarked, tha the State Government organized ovei us can be chanced in no other way thar through the ballot box ; that it is di facto, if not dc jure, and being the onlj government we have, our interests and duty alike require thai; we shall con form to its mandates whilst it exists peaceably and in good faith, although we cannot do so cheerfully. In other words, we must accept the situation. More particularly should wc yield, not only a ready obedience, but an energet ic support to thc laws designed to pre serve the peace, and project persons and property. Indeed, the peace must he preserved ; all acts of violence and ra pine must cease, and tc this end every man should consider himself a conserva tor of the peace, and hind a ready and willing hand to the authorities in bring ing offenders to justice ; that the time may again arrive when we may "sit down under our own vines and fig-trees, with none to intimidate or make us afraid." I have received assurances re cently from high authority, that the po sition of Gov. Scott ha? not been cor rectly understood or appreciated; that ho is zealous to preservo the peace, pro mote the prosperity, and ameliorate, as far as may be in his power, the anoraa luilfl i-uiiu . i II i.'i ul um , peujuc, aiiu mai. if met in a like spirit of conciliation, without the slightest yielding o? princi ple on our part, the government, of thc State will be administered in the in terests of its intelligence, virtue, and property. I suggest, tin r ?fore, that so far as we may do so, without yielding j our opposition or sacrificing our prihci- ? pies, wisdom and sound policy alike de mands, that we should co-operate with the existing authorities in every move ment that may be made to render our situation more tolerable. But, fellow-citizens, thc highest du ty resting upon us at present, ? take it, is, that we lay aside for the time being, the discussion and excitement of poli tics, and unite our energies in one great effort to develope and restore our ma terial prosperity. Our system of agri culture must be changed ; the size of farms must be diminished ; improved la bor saving ^achines and agricultural implement's must be introduced; popu lation and capital must bc brought into the State ; labor must bc diversified ; the cotton grown on the -hills must be manufactured at the water falls in the valleys; reliable labor must be retained, or obtained and properly utilized ; and by the persistent accumulation and ap plication of fertilizers to our exhausted soils, and improved modes of culture. w? must learn to grow on one acre of land what we have been accustomed to grow on ten. These things, if the prop er spirit can be aroused, are of compar atively easy accomplishment, and to this end, I advise that existing associa tions under the name of Democratic Clubs, be kept up and enlarged until every good citizen can be induced to unite with them, not as political organ izations, for any present purpose, but that-they, be converted into Farmers' ,Associations, and perpetuated for the grand purpose of enlistiifg ci^e-e^-op"era tion of our entire population, in a de termined struggle to overcome our pres ent misfortunes, and restore ' our an cient prosperity and happiness. Fellow-citizens, I ask pardon for the time I have detained you, and thank you again for the very handsome de monstration with which you' have hon ored me ; pledging myself, if admitted to the seat in Congress to which I have been elected by so large a majority, to exert all the abilities and energy I pos sess in an effort to restore the Constitu tion and the Union, under the banner of the stars and stripes which are wav ing so gracefully before me, to a condi tion that will secure perpetually the fraternity and prosperity of the whole American people, and particularly, of those of our own beloved Commonwealth, ot all races, colors and conditions. t How TO RAISE TWENTY DOLLARS FC*R RELIGIOUS PURPOSE.-A preacher in a frontier settlement had been collecting money for some church' object. There was still some $20 wanting, and after vain efforts to make up the deficiency, he plainly intimated, as he locked the church door one day after service, that he intended to have that said $20 before any of them left the house. At the same time he set the example by tossing $5 on the table. Another put down a dollar, another a quarter of a dollar, a fourth half a dollar, and so on. The parson read out every now and then the state of the funds : "Thar's seven and a half, my friends," " Thar's nine and a quarter." " Ten and six bits are all that there are r il:n hat, friends and Christian brethre. ' Slowly it mounted up. "Twelve ard a half." "Four teen." "Fifteen." " Sixteen and three bits," and so on until-it-jstuck at $li>-50; " It onlywants "fifty cents, friends, to make up tho amount. Will nobody make it up?" Everybody had sub scribed, and not a cent more was forth coming. Silence reigned, and how long it might have lasted it was difficult to say, had not half a dollar been tossed through an open window, and a rough, oxplanatory voice shouted : " Here, par son, there's your money; let out my cal, I'm about tired of waitin' for her!-' OUR LIVERPOOL STEAM LINE.-The Golden Horn, the first ship of the reg ular line of steamers for Liverpool, has cleared at * this port with a cargo of 2.553 bales of Upland and 188 bales of Sea Island, cotton. Messrs. R. Mure ec Co., her agents, having, with excellent j success, placed a full freight on her in good time. Her carrying capacity, which has exceeded anticipations, it will be seen above, amounts to near 3,000 bales, and is taken on a moderate draft and a fine trim of ship. The cotton on [ this vessel has been received, not only from Carolina and Georgia, but Alaba ma is well represented, and our new connection, Selma, in the latter State, has a fine shipment on board. The agents of the line here, notwithstand ing the somewhat untried character of the enterprise, have secured a most gratifying basis for future success, and as soon as the sirperior capacities of the line are known, patronage will be ob tained from all the great interior points of the South and West. We are pleased to say that during the stay of the ship in port, her worthy Commander, Captain McBeth, has made many friends, and with his skillful seamship, the Golden Hom will cer tainly prove a great success.-Charles ton Courier, 24th. The Boston Advertiser, speaking'of the men now confined in the Dry 'tor tugas on the charge of complicity in the assassination of President Lincoln, says : " Nobody ever conceived that Arnold was guilty of anything beyond the plot to abduct ; there are grave doubts wheth er O'Laughlin, now dead, was implica ted further than that, and thc commis ! sion which tried them understood this 1 fully, or they would have been sentenc ? ed to thc gallows, instead of for life at i the Tortugas; Spangler, whose six year's j term is now more than half expired, is j undoubtedly an innocent man, knowing 1 nothing of either plot ; but everybody who ever examined the matter, except President Johnson, became convinced of this long ago."

THE RIGHT OF CREDITORS TO EXAM INE BANKRUPTS.-In the United States District Court of New York a few days ?ince questions were raised as to the right of creditors to examine a bank rupt, when thc Judge (Blatchford) de rided as follows: Every creditor has a right, under sec lion twenty-six of the Bankrupt Law, ;o examine the bankrupt on oath as to the matters specified in that section. That such an examination of a bankrupt by one of the creditors enures to the benefit of all of them is no reason why :he privilege of examining should be withheld from another creditor. Yet the resister must, in the exercise of a sound discretion, regulate the time and manner and source of the examination, so as to protect the bankrupt from an ?oyance, oppression, and more delay, ivhilc at the same time the opportunity s allowed to the creditor to enquire as :o tho matters specified in the twenty sixth section.
