LETTER FROM GENKKAL STERLING
PKICE.-Tho New York News pub?
lishes the following extract of a lefter
received iii that city, from General
Sterling Pjice. It refers to the lands
set apart for colony by Maximilian :
They are about seventy miles from
VeraCruz, and on the railroad lead?
ing thence to the City of-Mexico.
This road is being rapidly constructed
and is now in operation to within
fifteen miles of this place, and will be
completed to the town of Cordova
within a few months, and to the City
of Mexico within two years. These
lands are three thousand feet above
the level of the sea, and are as fertile
as any of the Platte lands. [The
Platte purchase, which is Mie North?
western part of Missouri, comprises
the richest lands in that State, an I
perhaps in the Union.] They are
unsurpassed in the production of
corn, tobacco, coffee, vegetables of
every kind and all the tropical fruits.
The lands, which be between this
elevated country and the coast, pro?
duce as much and as good cotton as
the Louisiana lands. We are practi?
cally as near th^^ markets of New
York and New^^ftvns as the people
Central Ml Ai are; and the
Jimate is th^ Bthc world. The

Another plume in Time's rough hoary crest, ?
Another year gone from us to its real I
But oh ! those days of bitterness arid strifo,
Mccall them not, nor wake agaiu to life
Those passions which so long have borne tho sway
Among tho counsels of that grim array
Of prating fanatics and practised knaves. .
Renounce them all, for now the country craves
Peace and its blessings. Let them all unite
To crush out wrong and elevate the right,
Loyal and true to him who, good and grer.t,
So thinly, wisely holds the helm of State.
Close up the ranks in every patriot band,
In every State throughout our stricken land,
He stands between you and the men who aim
To clothe the South'with misery and shame.
THE GALLANT DEAD*
Fill np the record ! 'Tis not one of shaine
To thee, my State, or to thy future fame !
Heroic deeds till everv page and line,
And glory crowns each noble son of thine
Who, battling-, as he thought, fer truth and right,
Fell in the struggle overwhelmed by might.
Enrol the names of G LAUDEN, GBEGO and KETTT,
Of MEANS, of .TEN KIN s-a nd of BEE-'tis ftt
That those who fell, as brave men love to fall,
Should have their names enshrined, revered by all.
Had we the space, in this mere sim plo lay,
To mention all, oh, what a galaxv
Of Carolina's noble sons would shine
In every stanza-, vea, in every line.
.It may "not be : the deeds of these brave men
Must justice claim from history's truthful pen.

Like him, like your own HAMPTON, too,
Your efforts ne'er should cease
Until, by earnest work, you've eunod
The rich rewards of peace.
Until you see your cherished hoiaes,
In beauty rise once more
Until your crowded marts and street*
Recall the days of yore ;
Until disordor, vice and crime,
Shall hide themselves in shame,
And Carolina win again
Her ancient, noble fame.
Her fame for virtue, honor, truth
These paths her sons e'er trod
For all that crowns with deathless bloom
The last, best gift of God ;
The fame ncr gallant sons once won,
Beyond tho Rio Grande,
Where, wider ".the old flag *' they fought
That brave "Palmetto" band!
The fame achieved in latter years,
When, at their State's behest,
There gathcied round her own proud Hag
Her bravest and her best.
The fame she now so justly wins,
Beneath an adverse fate.
All prove her sons to be the men
Who " constitute a State !"
THE YEAH OF DESOLATION.
Sad changes have been wrought, I ween,
Within the year that's fled,
For manv loving hearts now mourn
Their dear and honored dead.
And many a roof-tree in thc land,
Where plenty once did smile.
Has been, by war's sad havoc, made
A eharred and blackened pile.
And many a pleasant home, which hailed
The opening of that year
With cheerful hearts, has now become
Most desolate and drear.
And many a smiling landscape fair,
By nature's pencil toped jm*<~
And many a te- ming, ?.p,?.\fJw<rI?om ?
Now lies a dreary wa* -
