ORIGINAL POETRY, For the Ledcer. " FORGET ME NOT." Yoa said "I must not you forget," When wo shall parted be ; With joy I your request have kept. And ever thought of thee. And should I e'er so fuitliless prove, Or so inconstant be ; As tlico fair angel to forget, Miy I no more be iVce. May my right hand its cunning lose, And pain seize ever part Of my own form if I erase, Thy immage from my heart. And may I never meet with joy, But everything bring pain To me, if ever I should seek, Another's smiles to gain. May I not know another's love. Nor seek another's smile. But in some happy place with thee, Each leisure moment while. Thus may I spend my future days, In joy and pence with thee : And in the hour I thee forget. Then may 1 cease to be. R. M. P. MISCELLANEOUS. ~ 'm~r . Cotton Factors and Commission . . Merchants. A -correspondent "down South" is gir** ing the readers of a New York paper pictures of Southern life. The writer gossips pleasantly, without any mixture of malice or carping ill-nature. We copy his description of the Cotton Factors, Ac.: Would you like a description of the classes engaged in the Cotton trade bo tween the planter and the English speculator or manufacturer? The cotton is hauled to a warehouse on the nearest river bank, and here awaits shipment. The warehouseman cnargca a small lee, say '^5 cents a bale, for shipping. In addition he receives about the same amount for every barrel of freight landed from the city. The boat cornea down to the city *ith from 1,500 to 4,500 bales a trip. Here manifest is ' hung up at the clerk's office when the boat lands, so that every merchant may instantly learn his consignment. The first town man through whose hands the staple passes is called a factor or commission merchant. In his office are desks for the principal partners, book keeper, receiving, out-door clerks?in some cases two or three of each. The out-door clerk boards the steamer on her arrival, to see what we "have," makes a minute and reports to the head, by presenting tlio bills of lading. The sampler is informed whoso business it is; one living connected with each house; to pierce each bale with a "borer" and ascertain the condition and quality. This he notes and reports, besides bringing the samples fur inspection to the sales-room. 1 he weigher then commences operations with two noroibU scales and bands, of negroes. The weight lias already been marked upon each bale by the planter, and this is simply a test of his scales and fair dealing. The weights are taken down and laid upon the receiving clerk's desk to be Compared with the bill of lading, and entered in his books accordingly. The draymen then begin hauling to the warehouse for storage.? Each man's pile is put hy itself, awaiting sale; meanwhile the number of bales is inserted in tho merchan's open policy of insurance. If any oftlicin are damaged they are sent to the ''Piccory," where they are ripped, carefully picked out, the injured packed by itself, to be disposed of as it best may, and the sound, with its diminished weight, sont to the remainder. The article itself thus safely stored, its samples are exposed for the inspection of the brokers. These are the go-betweens ofbuyer and factor who make the purchases. A broker is connected with the office of each buyer; and sometimes one manages to obtain the business of two, three or four large concerns. When such is the case that man's fortune is made. He ascertains quality, amount, and price of cotton to he sold, and reports to the buyer. If these suit, ho concludes the bargain, by giving the buyer's draft for the amount, negotiable in the city banks. This is at sight, or so inany days upon a house in New-York. Boston. 1 1 or Europe. Tho cotton having changed hand* ia now ordered to the press, where by "team machinery it is reduced to 1-4 or 1-8 its formor sixo, for shipment, afler which it is hauled again, stowed away in the vessel by stevedores, and then the hatches are down, the sails shaken out, and away for merry England, or somewhere else. The steamer charges a dollar a bale. The sampler, weigher, draymen, picory, warehouse and pressmen and brokers, all have a snug per cenL The factor has on an average a dollar a bale for selling, and the buyer 2 1-2 per cent, for purchasing, and all that oomes out of your pocket and mine, and all but the great unshirted. In Mobile AO,000 bales is the largest ale of a factor, but in New Orleans some tun up to 100.000, and even more. With ? dollar apiece commission, that makes a nice annual inoome. I>o you wonder that Southerners can travel! Then the factor makes purchases for the planter, of provisions, bagging and rope and other necessaries, on which ho reoeirus 2 1-2 percent. Besides, he lend* the planter money, on which he gets internet you may be euro; sometimes what the law "allows," and rometimen "what money will bring." The thing is managed in this wise.? The planter comes in io any be wants so mnch money; and promises the merchant, his next crop. It is the business of the merchant, of course, to know What every man make*, how ranch he awea - -in a word all about him. If he Ukee the euatomar, he tells him to make note, which be discounts or "accept*," Lwriting his name on the fnco of it. [this hitter eeee it is ssnt to n Bank or | k " *> .. tion that Mr. O'Conor will tender his resignation on hearing of Mr. Bronson's removal to < the former gentleman's dismissal has pro- i bably been withheld.

Bradhead . has been appointed Naval Officer in place of 101 Redfield, and the catalogue of freesoi) re- G?' wards is completed by the appointment of the John L. O'Sullivans Charge d'Affairos Is. ent Portugal. This intelligence has produced the utmost excitement. At Washington the Cabinet are tremblingly anxious as tr * the effect of their audacity. The national has democrats of Albany rejoice in the removal Sta of the Collector, bilieving that thereby is to ( insured the success of their ticket at the j . polls beyond all peradventure ; while the i frecsoilcrs are exultant, snd talk of demon- j f ,n (ration in honor of Marvy's "pluck." The in ^ Orange county democratic convention, held Cl,u at Goshen yesterday, nominated Judge Bronson for Senator." With regard to the effect of this proceed- ? ing the Herald, in conclusion of a long ar- jn#r tide, says: . to^ "But whatever way it may turn out in the in?r State, one thing is certain, and that is, that it will ruin the Cabinet beyond the h'-pc of recovery, through the Union at large. It w ill kindle the national sentiment into a flame in which the administration will be j consumed like stubble. The popular feel- |y , ing will be carried into Congress in all its g0|j vehemence, and we shall sco whether the appointment of Heman J. Redfield will he nur confirmed by the Senate or not. There thir are some other appointments, too, that want Cor the confirmation of that body?for ejftunple such as that of B. F. Angel as Consul to , the Sandwich Islands, and of John L.

' part the Cabinet of Mr. Fierce has taken in ? these movements; but 110 consideration can induce us to give any approval to an open the endorsement of the claims of Freesoilers to office. We arc pleased to believe, too, 1 that ao far aa we can learn, the Democrats , of South Carolina are entirely opposed to the conduct of the Administration in rela- *ov tion to these matters, and indeed we cannot of comprehend how any Southern Democrat yef could approve it.?South Carolinian. ELrrible Phenomena. r J It is not generally known, anys the Char- P?' leston Courier, that in Barbadoes there ia a Ke mysterious vault, in which no one now darea Th to deposit the dead. It is in a churchyard, pj.. near the the sea shore. In 1808 a Miss A. M. Chase was placed in it, and in 1812 Miss M 0 D. Chase. In the end of 1812 the vault was opened for the body of Hon. T. Chase; pre but the three first coffins were found in a confused state having been apparently tossed from their placo. Again was the vault open#*!, to receive the body of nn infant, and the four coffins, all of lead, and very 1 heavy, were found much disturbed. In at 1816, a Mr. Brewster's body was placed in cor the vault, and again great disorder was np- cep parent among the coffins. In 1819, a Mr. tel. Clarke was placed in the vault, and as be- < fore, the coffins were in confusion. the Bach time that the vault was opened, the Ed coffins ware replaced in their proper situations?thst is, three on the ground, side by side, and the others laid, on them. The vault was then regularly closed, the door (s massive stono, which required six or seven men to move,) was cemented by masons, . and though the floor was sand, there were no marks of footsteps or water. Again the vault was opened in 1849. Lord Comber- I mere was then present, and the coffins were last oiina mrown confusedly about the vault? ed < aome with the heads dawn, nnd other* up. poa "What could have occasioned this phenom- buj ena! In no other vault in the island had moi I hit ever occurred. Was it an earthquake sub that occasioned it, or the effects of an inun- wei dation in the vault?" These were ques- full tions asked by fhe Baibadoea Journal at inat the time, and no one could afford a nolo- eas1 lion. Cm The natter gradually died away, until eto< the present year when, on the 10th of Feb Hon ruary, tha vault was again opened, and all tira? the coftoa were again thrown about as eon- The fusediy an before. A strict investigation peet took place, and no cause could be discover- ?t! ed. Wan it, after all, that the sudden bore- the ting forth of noxious gnu from one of the beet insurance office, or into "the street," by cofti the hand of a broker, for discount. When lf?c the note falls due, of course the acceptor vau' meets it nnd remunerates himself with whc principal and interest by the salo of the crop. Thus a inan with a capital of i>0 or vm^ *100,000 will often have acceptances out wo< to the amount of half a million. Ptill wcr he may make a fortune in a few years, of t But suppose the fall should he an "uu- P'ac common dry one," and the rivers keep JX ? down until February or March?as they sometimes have done?no cotton down ^ to sell, and no other means to raise the j,cn cash?where would the merchant be? Wai Where a good many of thorn are, "flat dov broke." Or suppose some day be should ccrl die, as lie probably will, bis money out this to thafeur winds in the hands of two, ssa three or four hundred people, each mote ' interested in his own than in his neighbor's concerns, always excepting the matter of scandal, how would bis estate wind up, ? and what would his family get? Sometimes, in seasons of this kind, a factor has notes to meet, to the amount of from one to *200,000 a month, and not a cent to do it with? Those are times that try men's financiering abilities. But this season lias not been one of ^ tbem. The waters were up unusually early; business began and went through X| "with a rush," closing a month or two v earlier than usual; and you have our cotton Lords now at the Metropolitan and A at St. Nicholas. They need som recroa- \ lion; for a more exciting, trying life can a-; scarcely he imagined than that of a factor. Treat them well; get all the money out of them you can; and send them freshened in health, though lighter in pocket, for next winter's trade.

O! may HE who influenced tho heart of the "prodigal son," in a foreighn land, influence the heart ot the prisoner also, and may those who will mourn him as dead, be spared to sen him alive, a reformed man and a good citizen. BRANCH RAIL ROADS. The prevailing opinion, that Branch Rail g Roads ar e unprofitable to stock holders, is g contradicted by tho follow ing which we find a in the Abbeville Banner. Why should a v branch from here to Chester prove equally T as profitable as ihe Abbeville branch? n Oar Branch Road. 1; We notice in tho l?st issue of the South' t ern Patriot a general onslaught oti rail- ^ road branches, nnd a kick in particular at the Abbeville branch. Tho editor very confidently and cooly asserts?as cooly as ' when he tells co-operationists and scces- E ionists of tho State that they are all, * every mother's son of them, submissiouists ?that the Ablawille branch is a dead expense to the company, and takes occasion from thia example to warn the company to be cautious how it extends its maternal wing over any other branch road. That the country may be Correctly inform ed and duly prepared to estimate the Patriot's advice, we have taken the pains to procure from Mr. Sondley, the agent of the Abbeville branch report, an accurate statement of the business of the road. From the 1st to the 22d of the present month there have been received on freight and travel, *2,500. In the same time, 700 bags of cotton have been shipped, which, at one dollar per bag gives $700, and added to the alcove, #3,200. Besides this, a considerable amount has been paid by passengers over the branch road to the agents of other depots of the company, which for the sake of accuracy, we put down at #200?the agent and conductor would say tnore. We now have for 22 days of branch road business the handsome sum of #3,400. The expenses of running the cars for that time are estimated by Mr. S. at #300, leaving a net income of #3,100. The branch cost #100,000, this exhibit, therefore, giv?-s the satisfactory rate of 22 2 5 per cent per annum on the original investment. When the Greenville branch does as well as this the P triot will doubtlss exult, but must remember to give credit to whom credit is due. it i t o r' s tCnljlr.

This is destined to be one of the greatest roads in the country. It will connect with the New Orleans and Opelousaa Road at Henderson ; with the Vicksbur/ and Shrcvcport road at Marshnll; and with the St. Louis and Pulton road at Red River. The company was incorporated last February with a capital of 6,000,000- Three hundred laborers are already on their way from f Liverpool, which , with the two hundred re cently sent from this city, will make quite t an effective force. This road will open a di- , rect communication between Galveston and . St. Louis, and wilt run through some of the finest Cotton and Sugar lands in the Union. Hon. J. R. Ingeraol, late U. S. Minister to . England, Governor Dimond,of Rhode Island, I and Governor Davis of Oregon, have arrived u in the city within the past few days.

Mr. f Chambers is editor of Chamber"' Magazine ) and author of a great variety of scricl works, well known in this country. Dion Bouriecault, author of "London Assurance," 'Old Heads and Young Hearts," and other popular dramas, has been in the city for some time past, endeavoring to find a market for several manuscript plays, which hare never been produced. It is said that Mr. Burton will bring them out at his little theatre. Polities, just now seem to be the engrossing subject ; everywhere wc hear of nothing but platform and mass meetings, hard-shells and aoft shells. Collector Bronson, snd District O'Conor publish in the morning papers their answers to Secretary. Guthrie's circular ; and this will but add fuel to the flame of excitement. The old party lines have almost entirely disappeared in this city. There are no less than four, and in some wards five separate tickets, und It is really hard work for a man to tell what section he belongs to. 1 he election next month will bo warmly contested ; it is impossible to predict the result. The warlike news brought by the last steamer has had a decided effect on cotton. During the past week there has been n decline of 1 cent. Very little has been sold even at this reduction.
