Wo shall moot but we shall miss him, There will be one absent form Ono that oft to glory led us Through the deadly battle storm. 'Tis but three short years we number Since our hearts were beating high, But alas I in ceaseless slumber All our hopes with Jackson lie. We shall meet but wt shall miss him There will be one dreary void ;' For the hopes we that round him clustered Are for evermore destroyed. At our firesides sad and lonely, Often will the bosom swell As we listen to the story How our noble Chieftain fell How he bravely bore our banner, Through the fiercest of the' fight, To uphold our Southern lJonor, In the cause of Truth and Right. We shall meet but we shall miss hin, We shall for our loved ones weep, As we bend in silent sorrow, O'er the grave where Stonewall sleep6 True, they tell us wreaths of gipry Evermore will dek his b6w ; But this soothes the anguish-onl Sweeping o'er our heart-strings qow ; And though Fame, in future 4g' May enshrine him where he-fell, No surcease our heart assuages, For his fall became our knoll. We shall meet but we shall miss him, Ever miss our fallen brave : While we grieve in'mourfil silence, O'er the cause he died to save. R. A. SHOTWELL. (From the American Patriot.] Sptech of Gen lampton. We copy from the Anderson Intell' gencer the speech of this distinguished son of Carolina, at a meetint or the Sol . : cars h~a 'Avmt~sv yrrm% 'An Sson Istriot, convened for the purpose - or organizing a Soldiers Associatiou. Gen. Hampton was passing through the village on his way to the mount'kins, and was invited by the meeting to ad dress them His speech may therefore bn regarded as the spontaneous utter. ances of that noble sentiment of his i.heart, and. will be responded to by the people of the State. It having been ascertained that Gen. Wade Hatnpton was in the viliq$, upoon motion a Committee of three, dA siting of Maj. John B. Moore, Col, %m uel B. Pickens and D.''K.

Success does not inevitably malre right or justice, nor does failure always Imply evil, wrong or falsehood. If the justice of a cause always insured success, Po land, Hungary and ireland would not now groan under the heel of the oppres sor, nor would the South be reduced to the sad condition in which she finds her self to-day. But sad as is the condi tion of our beloved land, we must not forsake it. She has need of all her sons. You know that in years that are just passed, you regarded it as your highest duty to stand by your colors Sq now it is your duty to stand by your Stfte. Her colors are nailed to the mast, and let us stand or fall with her. Give her'all the aid you can, and if she sinks, at least let us go down with her. ,For these reasons I ,have discouraged emigration. I believe it is otr highest duty to assist in the re-establishmeit of law, order, peace; to help the widows an4 orphans made by the war and to ehiavor.to raise our prostrate and bleed. hig country. We may not be able to do much towards alleviating the suffer. log and sorrows of our people, but we 4du at least take our share of them, and thus lighten the general burthen by dis tributiting it amongst us all. To the acomplishment of these objects-the highest that patriotism can inspire-I i-ivke your earnest co operation. It will require your endurance to restore hope to our people or vitality to our State. We can ex'pbct nothing from the Government of the United States, what. ever party may be in power. The Convention at Philadelphia-where the North and South, burying the past, were to re-ostablish liberty, equality, fraternity-has declared the platform upon which the conservatives propose to enter the nex 117 that platform, I see in announced that the brave soldiers and sailors who sup. pressed the rebellion are entitled to the thanks of the nation; that the debt in cured in that holy crusade is to be sacred, and that all Confederate debts are null and void. We pension the men who forged our.fetters, but the soldiers of the South-men with empty sleeves or on crutches, such as are seen around me now-are to be branded as outlaws, relels apd traitors. No fostering hand of a paternal Government soothes or cares for their widows and orphans. The country and Government for which they fought, like their hopes, are dead, and they are thrown on the cold charity of the world. It is our duty to open oui hearts and our hands to our tave di4abled soldiers, and care for the imlies of those who fell in our defence. hAte vermay have been the result of li0 catusein *hich they fell, remember that they died for us, fighting, as they iKfnestly :'believed, to make us free. They, offered up their lives a willing sactifice for their country, and shame upon the man who would not help those Who have lost their all in our behalf. I shall never turn my back upon any brave soldier who stood by his banner to the last, though that glorious banner way bkforever furled; though now 4,There's not-a man to wave It, And thee's not a soul to save it, And therW's not one left to lave It, In the blood whloh heroes gave it." 'Tis true that we have bit little left to us; that we are linpovished; but w( carn at least share our pittance wil those who have lost all. To record the names of those wh< fought for us; to perpetuate the histor) of the gallant troops given by our Stat< to the common cause ; to extend aid t< Q tose who are disabled, and to thos< whose protectors fell in the war, are the nble purose of your proposed Associn tion.

We have received, says the 1Richiaold Enquirer, from General J.B. Magruder, through Mr.- Stephen D; Yancey, of Richmond, (formerly of the General's staff,) severai numbers of The Mexican Times newspaper, published in the city of Mexico, and now edited by General Magruder. The numbers Oefore us con tain the news from all part4 of the Mexi can Empire. and editorials. of ability on various topics. The Timem is published every Mon. day morning, at ten dollars a year or one dollar a month. Trt amount of advertising in the paper is not large, but includes some of great interg?t to ,Ameri can readers who desire to purchase lands and estates in Mexico. The following card froth General Ma gruder, we take from the issue of July 23. It is nobly -ionceived, 'and nobly said: MKxroo, July 23, 1806. I have read with deep interest in a New York paper copious extracts from the "Prison Life" of Mr. J6&orson Da vis, as presented to the world by Dr. Craveii, who, as an enbmy iluring the late American war, was prejudiced against the head and leader of the armed Confederates, but during a long profes: sional attendance by the stk bed of the illustrious prisoner. became his friend and admirer. The style of Dr. Craven is admirably clear,. unaffectod and free from pedantry, and the senes.e desoribes as an eye-witness are so deeply interesting that they cannot fil to awaken through. out the 'world the sImpathy tall who appreciate true nobility and uudeserved saffering. I have also been %resented by a faiind with a copy of-,Dr. .raven's hook, and regret to find, :414iig it, that Mr. Davis indulgX , unfribAdly to leave the country. I believe that closely confined as lie was, Mr. Davis remained in entire ignorance of the cir cumstances which made this course on our part not only correct. but patriotic. But if there are any who entertain a different opinion, I think I but represent the feeling of our compatriots abroad, when I req nest a suspension of that opinion until a release of our ex Presi dent from confinenent and his freedom from persecution shall have enabled us with propriety to defend ourselveR; and should this be not conceded, I, for one, would prefer to rest undeserved censure rattlir than add the weight of a feather to thp ewtes which already . so cruelly oppress our former Chief. 1. BANCHEAD MAGRUD.R. Late Major General, C. S. A. The Canadians have finally recover ed from their scare about the Fenians. They .etain, however, a deep-seated conviction that an invasion will take place next"tnonth. The tite fixed is the 20th or 25th of September, when a great influx of strangers will result from the holding of an agricniltural exhibition at Toronto. The Herald says that evi dences otan ir.tended movement against the Proinces are not wanting on this side of t1e border either.

INTCRViEw BICTWE.VN THE SouTH CAnLi.1NA AND IASSA011USESSTS DiCLE QATis.-"Perley," in his divpatch from *ileaptha- to O.tre Boston *,ournal, speaking of the visit paid by the Dele gates from South Carolina to the Mass achusetts Delegation, says: Then General Custer came in, and' wias introduced to General McGowan, of tim Confederate army. After cordially shaking hands. Custer said : "General -We have been looking at each other often during the war through field glas. ses and amid the smoke of battle. If we now can shake hands, these civilians who have stayed at their homes fn safe. ty surely should." Governor Orr. in conversation, repu diated the idea that when in his speech on Monday night he alhideed to "my Government," he meant the Confederate Government ; that, he said, is dead, and is no one's governmert ; but the Gov ernment of the United States is its exe cutor, and is again my Government as well as your Government. The New York News, of Wednesday, says: "The reyorls of the harvest show that the States generally have been bountifully blest.. In the Northwest the grain harvest has never been excelled, while in the South enough has been gathered for home consumption and leave a margin for exportation. Ar. kansas a:d Alabama are the only States where the returns have not rei'nbursad the labor bestowed upon the fields. Hailstorms during the present month have inflicted some injuries upon the standing grain and some tobacco plants, but the damage has not been sufficient to materially alter the general result. A general summing up shows that the overflowing gianraiws of our farmers will furniish cheap breadstuffs to our own consumers, and,.help to feed tihe whole world."

Important to Farmers, Deciston of the Commissioner of tnter nal Revenue. The following dcoision have re cently been given by the 0omniission or of Internal Revenue at Washington. They are important to farnies, in so far as they.untangle some of the knot ty points of law: 1. Farmers will not be required to mnake return of produce consumed in their own immediate families. 2. The farmer's profits from sales of live stock are to be found by deduct ing from the gross receipts fqr an.3wals sold, the purchase money paid for the same. If animals have been lost; dur ing the year by death or robbery - the purchase money paid for such an W may be dedugted from the gro ts in come of the farm. 3. No deduction can be mado 1 >y the farmer for the value of service s ren dered by his minor children, w! tether lie actually pays for such servict us,- or not. If his adult children wo rk for him and receive compensation for their labor, they are to be regarded as oth er hired laborers in determinin g-his inbome. 4. Money paid for labor, e toept such as is used or employed-in do Mes tic service, or the pro duction' of art 10108 consumed in the family of the pro ducer, may be deducted. 5. No deduction can be allowe, 1in any case for the cost of unproduct lve labor. If house servants are empl ->y ed a portion of the time in producti YO labor, such as making of butter ai A cheese for sale, a proportionni '0 amount of the wages paid them ma. Y be deducted. Expenses for ditching and clearing now land are plainly olgqnses forper manout l1apevienouts, aill not'dedue table. 7. The wholo amount ox pended for fertilizers applied during the year to the farmer's lands may be deducted, but no deduction is allowed for for tilizers produced on the farm. The cost of seed purchased for sowing and planting may be deducted. 8. If a personj sells timber standing the profits are to be ascertained by es timating the value of the land after the removal of the timber, and from the sui thus obtained deducting the estimated value of the land on the 1st day of January, 1862, or on the' day of purchase, if purohased since that dato. - Where no repairs have been made by the tax payer upon any building owned by him durig the preceding five years, nothing can be deducted for repairs made during the year for which his income is estimated. 10. A farmer should make return of all his produce sold within a year, but a mere executory conltract for a sale is not a sale ; delivery, either ac tual or constructive is essential. The criterion by which to jyidge wliether a sale is complete or not os to, determino whether the vendor still retaiba in that character a right over-the property ; if the property were lest or destroyed, upon which of the parties; in the ab sence of any other relation between them than that of the vendor and von dee, would the loss fall. There was a very irascible old gen tleman who forme~rly held the position of justice of the peaee in one of our cities. Going down the main street one day, one of the boys epoke to him without Doming up to his honor's idea of defe rence. "Young man, I fiue you five dollars for contempt of court."
