" Ob, bury me not in the dark old woods, Where the sunbeams never shine; Where mingle tho mists of the mountain floods With the dew of tho dismal pine ! Bury me deep by the bright, blue sea, I hare loved in life so well ; Where tho winds may como to my spirit free, And the sound of tho ocean swell!" Oh, bury ME not by the surging sea, Where tho tempest rages loud, And the storm-god rideth madly freo On his chariot of cloud ; Where the solemn channt of ocean's wave, And tho wailing night-wind's cry Como mourning o'er the stranger's gravo Where the mermaids sit and sigh ! Oh, bury ME not by the rolling sea, Where the storm-kissed billows heave Responsive to the tempests glee ; Where ocean-spritos in darkness weavo The sea-weed shroud for oceans dead ; Whero flaps the hungry sea-bird's wing Above tho drowning sailor's head, And tempost fiends his requiem sing ! But carry me far in the grand old woods, Where the fragrant jessamines spring, Whero the turtle roars her gent?o broods And tho wood-nymphs love to sing; And bury me there in some lovely glade, By the sound of tho streamlet's wave ; 'Neath tho rustling boughs in tho beechnut's shado Let me sleep in my woodland grave! r Tito Fist Ice Cream. ' If we know to whom, or to what, to give \ credit, for the following hit, we would cer- ? tainly do it. It comes to us wkhout any in- j tiraation of Ha '9origin, and we give it place ]( ai ludicrously characteristic. It purports to be- 'An account of Ethan Spikes' First and Last Visit to Portland-1 " Portland is the all firedst place I over seed. I was going down there in '63, to see a little about my gobi' to the Legislatoor, and such a time as I had you never beer'd tell on. Did I ever tell you about the ice cream scrape r had ?? We answered in the negative, and he re sumed. ,: Wall, I'd bin down thar two or three daj-s pokin' in every hole, an' thot I'd seed every thing* that was to bc seen. Bat one day towars' sun down I was going' bj' a shop in Middle street that looked wonderful slick there was all manner of candy and perper mints an' what Dots at the windows. And then thar war signs with goold lett?-rs on to tb?m, hangin* round thedoor, tell iv howthey sold Soda, Mead, an' Ice Cream thur. I says ta myself, f h: ve beern good deal about this 'ere ice cream, an' now if 1 don't see what they's made of. So I puts my hands.into roy pockets, an' walked in kinder careless, an' nara to a chip standin' behind thc counter-" " Do you keep any ice cream hi reT' u Yes sir," says he, how much Mi you have?" _I considered a minir, says I-" a pint sir. --Tie yoong reliar? taco ??weUttf outj. but ar ter a> Tuhilo bo fco Ii cul " Did you say a pint sir." "Sartin', says I, " but p'raps you font rt tail, so I don't mind lukin' a quart/' Wall don't you think thc feller snorted right out. Tell yer what, it niado mo feel sort a bia?n, an' I gave him a look that made liini look sober in about a minit ; an' when I clinch M my fist, and looked so at bim, (here Mr. Spike favored us with a moat diabolical expression,) he hauled io his horns about tbe quickest, an' handed me a pint o' t lie stuff as periko as could be. Wall, I tasted a monti tul of it, and found it cool as th? nor!li side o'Bethel hill in January. I'd haifa mind to spit ont, bat jest then I seed the ci .nfc'*'ii mer chap grinning behind the door, which riz roy spunk. Gall sn.ash it all, thinks T, i'll not let that white lirer'd monkey think I'mafeard -I'll, eat the plague?' stuff if it freezes my tnards. I tell yer what, i'd rather skinn'd n | j bear or whip'd. a wild cat, but I weut it. I eat the whole in abont a minit." " Wall, in about a quarter of an hour I be gan to feel kinder gripy about here." cootia ued Ethan, pointing to the lower parts of bis stomach, " au* kept on feelin' no better faM, till at last it seemed as though I'd ?ot a steam ingen sawin' shingles in me. I sot down on a cheer, and bent myself np like a nut-cracker, thinkin' I*d grin and bear it; but I couldn't set still-I twisted and squirmed about like an angle worm on a | fc book, till at Jast thu chap as gin rae the cream, who had been looking on sniekorin' says he I \ to me. ? Mister," says he, " what ails yer?" "<Ails me!" says I, " that ere stuffo'your'n is iree/in' up my daylights,''*'says f. | j ff You eat too much," says he. " I tell yer I didn't," screamed I j ft I knew what's anuff an' what's too muck without aekin' you? an' if you don't leave off snicker in1 Til spile your lace." He cottoned right down, and ?.?id he did not mean any burt, and asked toe if ? bad not better take some gin. J told him I would. So I took a pretty good horn abd left the 3hop. " After I got out," continued Ethan, M I felt better for a minit or so, but I hadn't goue fur afore the gripes took me agin ; so I went into another shop, an' took some more gin; thon I sot dowu on the State House slops, an' there I sot an' sot, but didn't feel a mite better. I begun to think 1^ was agoin' to kick the bucket, an' then I thought of father an' mothor, t nd of old Spanker-that's father's old boss-and when I thought tbat I should neversee 'em again, I fairly blubbered. But then I happened to look up an' set: a dozen boys grinnin' and larhV at m's, I tedi yer what it riz my dander, that had got down below nero-rite np again. I spn.r- at 'era like a wild cat, hollerii-g ont I'd sbake their tarnal gizzards out, an' the way the lit tlo devils scampered was a caution to nobody. But after the 'citement of the race was over, I felt wus again an' I couldu't help gruutin' and screech* o' as ? went along. At last I thought I'd go to the theatre, but afore I got ,tberc the gripe* got so strong that I had to g? behind a meelin' house and lay down and holler. Arter a while I got op and went into a shop and eat a haifa doll irs wutb of biled isters with four pickled cow cumbers, and wound up with a glass of .bran dy, Then I went into the theatre and seed the plays, bat I felt -so, that I couldn't .?cc any fun in 'em, foy I don't, think the isters and the cowcuinbers done ma any good, I sot down, laid down, and stood np, but still lt went gripe, gripe. I groan'd all tim time, an' once in a while I was obliged to screech kiuder easy, Everybody stared at roe and somebody called ont "(urn him 'out!" once or twice. But at last, aa tho p/'gger .Othello was goiir to put tbe piller on his vilo'? face to smother her, there cum su'di a twiug through me, that I really thought I was burstin' up and I yelled om, ''Oh, dear? oh, | j sciss rs !*' so loud that the old theatre rung again. Sacb a row you nevc-r sew] ; the nig ger drofoped thc pillow, and Deuteronomy or what you call her there-his wife, jumped off the bed and run, whiJe everybody in the theatre was all up in a moss, some lar?V, sume swearin'.. Tho upshot of it was, the perlino carried mo uut of thc theatre, and told ute to make myself scarce. Wall.'as I didn't feel any bettpr, I went into a shop close by an' called for two glasses af brandy f artet: awajleriu' it I went homo to the tavern. I sot dawn by the: winder an' lried to think I felt bulli?, bat it tnt no ,50; that blessed old injine was still wallerin' away inside; sol went oulj and eat a quarters wuth of isters and a pieo? of mince pie. Then I went back and told the tavern keeper I felt kinder sick, and thought I'd take some caster ile, a mouthful of cold meat, and a strong glass of whiskey-punch, and then go to bed. Ile got the fixins, which I took and went to bed. BH?, tell yer what, I hail rather a poor night. Sometimes I was awake groanin', aa' when I was a sleep I'd better bia awake, for I had such powerful dreams. Sometimes I thought I was ekinnin' a bear, and then by some hocus pocus 'twould all chango 'to th er side to, an' the tarnal critter woulcf bo skinnin' me. Then, again' I'd dreata. that I was rollin' logs with the boys, and jest as I'd be a shout in' out-"now then-heie she goes !" every thing woald get reversed agin-I was a log, md the boys were prying me up with their handspikes. Then I'd wake up and roar thoo off to sjleep again-to d?sam that Spank* ar had run away with mi. or that father was whopping, or some other plagtiey thing till morai n\ When I got up, I had'nt any appetite for areakfast, and the tavern keeper told me that f 1 was going- to carry on scjeaming and groaning as I had tko night afore, my room ?vas better than my company. " I hain't," said Mr. Spike, in conclusion, ? I hain't bin to Portland bit oe, but if I live o bc as old as Methusalem I shall never for jet that all-fired Ice Cream."

Wo commend it to such if our young friends as may be, like " Bob, ibout leaving home for strange parts." It contains good moral lessons : u Bob, you are about leaving homo for itrange parts.

" Eloquent Tribute to-Jttr. Davis The Fond du Lac (Wis.) Frau, an ab distinguished conservative^journal, pa following tribute to the illustrious stat! and uncomplaining prisoner at Fortress roe, and makes a demand -for his re-let tho purest grounds of reason. It says : We have always?gar?ed. it aaa fixe that sooner or later Jefferson Davis wot released, without being brought to tria less, indeed, his captors, succeeded in evident design to murder ' him, by the torture of rigorous confinement to whi< has been subjected.

To-day, emaciated with loi months of confinement io a dreary fortres guarded by bayonets and surrounded I Yankee spies and informers, we recognize tl same calm, stately, superior being who fi; ured so grandly in the recent terrible dram of American history-who crushed the Nortl ern Senators by a humiliating conscious -e? of their own inferiority, when he made h high-toned adieu to the Senate. For Jefferson Do vis, w ask no Executiv clemency, for he has committed no treasot For him we implore no pardon, for he'is n traitor ; all we ask, all wo desire, is that h shall receive a fair, impartial trial, and hi guilt or innocence bo.decided by a jury c h?3 own countrymen. But this, of all things his enemies arc determined he shall not hav -for they know in this event he would com forth with no stain upon his character-m tarnish upon bia honoir. We are fortunate in having a short extrae of thc speech of Mr. Davis when leaving th! Sonato, and, in conclision with the above, w< append it, as it is of ?xtremo though melan choly interest at present. But we have procltimcd our independence This is ^ono with no hostility or desire to in jure* any section of lue country, nor even foi oar pecuniary benefit, but solely from the high and soli? motives of defending apd pro tecting the rigbys we inherited, and transmit ting them unshorn to'our posterity. I know .Jiat I feel no hostility to you Senators here, and am ??ra there is not ope of yon, whatever may have been the sharp discussion between us, to whom I carnot now say, in the pres ence of my God, I wish well. And such is the feeling, I am sure, tho people I represent have towards those you represeut. I there fore feel I but express their desire when I say I bope, and the} hope, for these peaceful relations with you (though we must part) that may bo mutualy beneficial to us in the future. There will be peace, if you so will it; and you may bring dsastor upon the whole country if you this will havo it. And if you will have it this, we invoke .the God of our fathers, who daivered thom from the paw of the lion, to protwt us from tho ravages of the bear; and thusputting our trust in God, and our firm heart? and strong arms, we will vindicate and defend the rights we claim. In the courso of my long career, I have mot with a groat variety of men here, and there have been points of collision between us. Whatever of offence I have given, which has not been redress?e, I am willing to say to Senators in- this h?ur of parting, I oiler you my apology for anything I may havo done ; and I go released from obligation, remem bering no injury I lave received, and having discharged what I teem the duty of a man, offer the only reparation in my power for any injury I have ever inflicted. --f.f--?

Cure for the Cholera, An effectual cure for the cholera has, it ar pears, been discovered. Mr. Workofielc surgeon at Colbathfields, says : It is needles now to enter on.the theory of this practice which, on sound data, has been suggested b Dr. Stevens ; but, 6uffiee it to say, that ex perienco has assured mo of its efficacy am value. After premising that upwards of om huudred cases, more or lesa malignant, havi occurred in that prison, with the loss only o seventy (the first four prior to thc adopriot of the treatment) I shall at once describe: Tho usqal care must bo taken to pruinot< warmth by friction-hot, dry flannels, ho water bottles to the feet, mustard poultice: to the chest und^ other parts of the bod) affected by crs.mp; but the main reliance ii upon the following powder, to bc aflminis tcre'd every hour in half tumbler of cold wa ter, namely ; Carbonate of soda, half a drachm j common silts, 2(J grains ; oxymurintc of pot ash, 7 grains. However irritable thc stomach may be, the common seidlitz powder, of effervescent soda draught, will, in mest cases, quiet it, but when it will retain aothing in quautity, p. teaspoonful of the carbonate of soda should bo dissolved in half a nimbler of water, and given in such quantities as the stomach of the patient can retain, from a teaspoonful up ward, until the sumach ia sufficiently settled to receive the powders. The success of the treatment, which in many poses han boon perfectly surprising, in duces me to hope it may bo extensively adopted. In cases-of cholera, however, the most unceasing watchfulness and attention to the patent is required. The extreme thirst of the patient while suffering under the malignant form of the disease was relieved, and groat benefit expe rienced by soda water or seltzer water as a common drink, in quantities not exceeding a wineglassful-at a time. The Times says : Wo insert this account because wo have made inquiries into the statements which it contains, and find there is no exaggeration. The account of tho successful application of the saline treatment has been ollicially transmitted to Paris. .-? -? TUE BATH PAPKR MILL.-While in Au gusta last week, under tho tender care of friend S. B. Robbins, of that comfortable hab itation, tho Planter's Hotel (the interest of which, by-thc-way, is i.o closely looked after by the able attach?es, Messrs. W. C. Carr and John Goldstein), we were taken nolens volenti by President Craig acnoss the clay colored Savannah, on a visit to the manufac tory of the Bath Paper Mill Company, which is, we are pleased in saying, now in thorough working order. The capacity of tho mill is about 3,000 pounds per diem, with increased faoilitios contemplated. It ja at present run ning about 1,500 pounds. When we take into consideration tho combining influences operating heretofore adversely to thc pro gressiveness of this mill, increased in 1862 by that destructivo element Ara, the energy of President Craig is exemplary. Tho Su perintendent, Mr. Pollard, is unremitting in his duties, and in his present position gives increased evidences of his ability in au insti tution where he has been for several years an industrious operator. President Craig seems fully up to the measure of the times, and his determination of purpose will yet prove pro ductive of vory beneficial results to the Com pinv. ? visit to Aiken was decided on the day. after onr refnrn 'rom the mill. A car-ride of ona ?OUT and a hali -took us io kind friends 1 in this summer retreat, where the salubrity of tho climate is unsurpassed by any location in the State. Here the greater portion of our day was spent. Among the many famil iar faces met with in Aiken was that of Mr. Henry Smyser, formerly of this-city, BOW pro prietor of the fine hotel located there.

Are Southerners to be Trusted. Annexed is an extract, from a lecttare late ly delivered in New Orleans by the Hon. Charles Gayarre, of that city. Mr. G. Lad for his subject : OATHS, ARMISTICES, AND REBELLIONS : Some centuries ago two kings were con tending lor the crown of Castile. I forget their names for the present, but to facilitate the telling of my story, I shall call one Al fonzo and the other John. Alfonzo proclaim ed, of course, that John was a urs?rper and a rebel, and John returned the compliment. Well John at last defeated his rival, horse and foot, and carried everthing triumphantly before him with the exception of a single town, which Alfonzo had intrusted to a stout old knight, called Angular, and which, after aJong seige, still remained impregnable. M You hav.e done enough for honor," said king John ono day to thekaight, * surrender and you shall have the most liberal terms." " If you read the history of your country," answered Angular, "you would have known that none of my race ever capitulated." " I will starve you, you proud and obsti nate fool." " Starve the eagle, if you can." " I will put you and the whole garrison to the sword." u Try," was thc laconic reply, and the siege went on. One morning as the rising sun was begin ning'to gladen with its rays the highest tow ers of the belcagured city, a parley sounded from the camp of the enemy. The old knight appeared on the wall, aud looked down on the king below. " Surrender I" sain John again ; " ray rival Alfonzo, is dead, and the whole of Castile recognize my sway as that of its legitimate sovereign." " I must first see my master," was the re ply. " Go then, to Seville where his body lies You shall havo my royal word that L shall attempt nothing against you on your way, nor against tho city in your absence." The knight came out with banners flying and a small escort of grim-visaged warrior The gates closed, before him the dense bat tallions of tho enemy opened their ranks and as he passed along slowly, riding the no ble war horse, shouts of admiration burst fa ?nd wide from the whole hosts who lied so often witnessed his deeds of valor and th echoes of the loud and enthusiastic gi eetiug accompanied him until the red plume which waves over his helmet was out of s'ght. H arrived at Seville, and went straight to thc Cathedral where he found the tomb of his former sovereign, ne had it opened, and after gazing awhile with moist eyes at the pale face which met his look, ho thus ad dressed the dead monarch : Siro, ? had sworn never to deliver io any bo?y bat joum?lf "tim keys of the town which you had entrusted to my care. Here they are ; I have kept my oath," and ho deposited them on the breast of King Alfonzo. Then, bestriding his good steed, he galloped back to his prst. As soou as he approached, again tho ranks of the enemy opened, and King Jehu con fronted him. " Are you satisiied, and do you now give up the contest 7" " i'es, sire." " Where are the keys of thc town ?" " On King Alfonzo's breast. Go and get them. We meet no more." "By .heaven, we shall never part!" ex claimed thc King. " Get tho keys back your self, and remain in command of the town iu my name." Thc followers of the King murmured, and complained of his rewarding a rebel. .' Ho is no longer one," said King John " Such rebels when won, become the best of subjects." Had 1 the honor of approaching thc Prcsi dent, i would take the liberty of saying to him: follow this example respected sir Trust, without fear, these men who have fought to the last for the oause which they loved, and which claimed their fidelity.

MAaniACE OP A CHILD ELEVEN YEARS OP ACE.-The Detroit Union records the fol lowing r A wedding came off on the 7th inst., at the Johnson House, which was the cause of much gossipand virtuous indignation against all parties concerned. A. M. Brown, his wife, and a daughter of his wife by a first husband -a puny, deface and emaciated girl of eleven years-accompanied by a fellow un worthy tho name of man, named Wayne, a broken down play actor, of thirty-three years, but more like fifty-wearing a wig and pow dered whiskers-made up thc bridal party. Tho bridegroom, uuable to prevail on the ministers of any Christian denominatien to perform the nuptials, applied to Justice Rus sell, but that gentleman spurned the simple ton from his premises, as his object was con? trary to the laws of nature. Squiro Carson solemnized tho sacred or dinance of matrimony between this ill-match ed and unequal pair-a farce upon religion, and civilization, unequaled in the annals of barbarism. The disgust and indignation of the wholo community knew no bounds. Somo were for seizing the jigamy wife and sending her to the House of Correction ; others clamored for a coat of tar and feathers for tho Justice who sot tho laws of God, man and decency at defiance. Tho bridegroom treated his lit tle wife with candy ; her relatives and him self, followed by a yelling beyy of youngsters, loft town, and when about a mile out, the boys tbruet a rail between the bridegroom's le? i lo assisi his locomotion Ho bleated like s calf, and holding a knife in one hand and his parse, containing forty-five cents, in the other, begged for mercy. So with heavy heart and Tight purse, they allowed him to rejoin the wedding party. -.-? ? ? Mare's Nests. We are sometimes greatly amused at the absurdities into wh:ch the malignants of the Northern press continually fall in their wick od attempts to misrepresent oar people and country. It will tickle our beloved people of tho " Dark Corner" to be told, as vre are by one of these malignant presses, that; Edgefield District, South 'Carolina, is one of the. largest and most rebellious in the State, and is controlled by two organized ganga of oatlaws led by an ex-Confederate major. They have* been waging a sort of guerrilla warfare upon the peaceful inhabi tants, Union and colored, murdering some, despoiling and expeling others. All efforts made by the infantry to surprise these well mounted desperadoes have proved futile. An efficient cavalry force is needed to hunt them down. The planters of the State are just discovering that there are not enough ne grea by half to cultivate the land, and that their labor only is available in the rice fields. This is a strong security for better treatment. Ths circular of the Bureau .-oncerning " mar riajre rules" has been received with satisfac tion by the freed people. This is terrible news ; and an outlaw hera and there who Bteala a horse, robs a hen-roost, or murders a traveler for his money, is made to cast discredit upon an entire country. Now, if we take up the daily chronicle of crime in the Northern papers, tbe rapes, robberies, burglaries, arsons, poisonings, mur derings, which they daily report, as proof of the rebellious and insurgent character of tho people ? As for the *. original Union men" in ridgefield District, it would be a sight and a show, as attractive and exciting as the ex hibition of Hippop?tmub and Gorilla to dis cover ono. Touching the. sufferings of the virxous freedmen at the hands of this re ported banditti, wo rather laney that the boot is on the other leg, and it will require but little search, if the quest were honestly pursued, to make the discovery that this banditti was measurabrj?if net mostly, made Up of our ".loyal colored citizens." As for tho deficient numbers of the negroes for tlie cultivation of the lands, we conceive this to be a great mistake also. There would found quite enough of them for this purpose, could OulFee be persuaded to regard freedom in any other light thau as a relief from labor. To require that he should still work after he has attained bis freedom, deprives liberty of all its charm in his imagination. Perhaps, however, the greatest of all the absurdities of this paragraph lies in what is said of his approval of the " Marriage rites and rules," as propounded by that sancti monious institution, the Freedmen's Bureau. Cuttle does, indeed, so far approve of mar riage that, if it implies a great supper of ba con and bread, with a bountiful supply of whiskey, he will, to oblige the Freedmen's Bureau, take a new wile every night, espe cially as Sukey and Jeuny are not unapt, af ter marriage, to exh.bit a decided preference of the whilo soldier, who, in addition to the supper, will give her a new cabcofrock when she wants it, a black laced veil, and a gin tering brass brestpin as large as a soup pla"e. A bracelet will do wonders with her luiicy, ana a pair cf brans ankleU complete happiness.-South Carolinian. The Kalmia Mills* We had ceca?ion a few days ago, to refer to this new enterprise, now in progress in the Western part of our State. Since then, we have leanied some further particulars, which may be of interest to some of our read ers. The Mills arc being erected by a char tere!', company, whoso capital is half a million A' dellars, but they have the privilege of in ireai-ing i t to two millions. The Company owns about six thousand icres of laud on Horse Creek, between lands jf Bath Paper Mills and Granitevillo Manu facturing Company. Ou the land there is imple water power for all purposes of the Company, and numerous springs of tho purest ?rater, which is indispensable in bleaching :ioth and making paper. Their springs at jne plr.ee form a body of-water twenty feet ieep, and so pure that thc ?maltest objects an be seen at the bottom. - All the buildings are being constructed in the plainest but most durable form of brick, with tin and slate roofs, but are in most ap proved modern style. The factory buildings ire immediately on tho South Carolina Bail Road, nine miles from Augusta, and the dwelling houses op high table land, a few luudred yards distant. Both houses and lactories will be lighted with gas, and the factories heated by steam. AU the machi nery is driven by water power. The situa ron is one of thc very best that can be ob air.ed, both on the score of convenience and ?ealth. The maehinery in thc cotton mill consists if ten thousand throstle spindles, to spiu the varp, and ten thousand self-acting mul spin dles, to spin the filling, and five hundred oom3, to work up their productions. The ?om pan y also propose to add bleaching mach nery to bleach their cloth, which will mainly :onsiat of the finer grades of shirting print joods and long cloth. There is one large eighty-four inch Fon lenier paper mill for making printing paper, ' ind one forty-two inch machine for making be finest writing papers. All the machi lery is the very best that can be got in Eng and, and has been all specially manufactured o the order of the President of the Company, vho went abroad last summer for this pur* >ose. Everything will be finished and ia working ?riler within the next four months.' Tho Officers of tho Company are! Benjamin F. Evans, President. E. L. Kerrison, Treasurer. Directors.- John W.
