[From tho Baltiraoro Episcopal Methodist The Miser's Dying Thoughts. dt CACTUS. I've novor soothed tho widow's wail, Or orphan's bittor cry ; I've never wiped away a ttar. Or hushed n mourjjX^' '?ch! I'to noTor thrown a cheering ray Of consolation'/* light Into a heart made dcsolato By death's untimely blight. Nor heard the tongue of innocence My coming footsteps bless; Or eTer felt around my nock A "little ono's" caress. I've toiled through many changing yoars, And lived upon a crust ; I've robbed the starving ohild of want, To gather "shining dust." I've trod life's weary way alone, Of social joys denied, And never dared a scanty meal With others to divide. I've felt the stingB of poverty, And shivered.with the cold, While sitting on my strong-locked chest, Filled up with yellow gold. I've wrung the heart of honest toil To heap the glittcrtng"dust. And sought to put it far beyond The reach of "moth and rust." I've never wrought in friendship's chain A single golden link, Or heard, in music, sweeter strains Than silver's ringing cliuk. Long years ago, in vigorous youth, My life and strength I fold..? My trusting heart, my soul, my all, To bring, deceptive gold. But Death has seized my vitals now ; Ah! what avails my gain ? I call upon my golden god, But cry, alas, in vain! My pulse is growing weaker now, And sight is failing fast: 1 feo^e^j^jj?pon my l>n>wj^J No tear of sympathy will full Upon my lonely grave ; I'vo none on earth to weep for me, And none on earth to sovc. Oh millions, millions, worthless now, How great hath been thy cost ! Bought with a soul, immortal soul? I'm lost ! Via lost! I'm lost ! VARIOUS. Fall in, Men 1 Fall in! November is approaching. A grand battle at the ballot box is to be fought?the most momentous conflict in the history of the coun try. Tho Presidential campaigns of the past havo been child's play in comparison to that of to-day; the political conflicts were skirmishes. November next is to decide whethor this country is to be a Republic of white men, or a uiggcr despotism. Scud for Democratic documents. Establish yonr outposts. By the light of your watch fires read Democratic arguments, and digest Democratic trnths. Get reudy for the ballot box. Let ovcry mun who has a voto, prepare to deposit it. Organ ize, Deinocr:.t, for the purpose of bringing out all yonr physical strength; men are wanted now; numbers are the grand desiderata. The biggest count iu every hamlet, village, town, city and State is what will give us victory, the time for long speeches is over. ] f the past eight years have taught us nothing, if the reign of blood, terror, rascality, crime, treach ery and crushing taxation, has not settled tho verdict that we should render at the ballot hox God help us, for wc shall more than ever need Iiis help. If Mongrclism conquers us in November, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah would be a blessing to us. Better death than a nigger government, with all its entailed hor rors. Democrats, tho tiu:o for action is at hand. Eonu clubs, send for journals, con solidate, unite, present a solid phalanx to op pose the infamous foe, ut every voting place. Strike terror into his cowardly heart. He will see that o carry the blazing shield of Truth. We do not know our power, We underrate our strength. Wo are not awaro of our invinci bility. Wo nro clothed in the armor of justice. Wo arc guarded and guided by the great (Jon stitution. We have right and might on our side, and wc havo only to strike manfully in order th secure a lasting victory, which will redeem us from prospective slavery, and confer price less blessings upon posterity.

Radical papers are full of sensation accounts aud denunciations ot the murder of Ashbura, in Georgia, but they say nothing about die white oue-nrmcd ox-Confederate soldier who was shot de d on his horso recently noar ma, Alabama, or of the other four white men. who have bcou murdered in the same vieiujty since tho war and no ouo arrested for thtsso murders. No, wo hear nothing from these. Radicals of the numerous other murders of ike. conquered Southern whites nnd outrages on them in other localities of the South bccajujo there is every reason to believe this is l.ho"| work of the black loyal Icagcrs. At a pul-lio procession and meeting of negroes at Muciu, Georgia, on March 30, the '"loyal blacks'' ctr* ricd a bauuer on which the figure of a negro, cut in pasteboard, hung dangling from a al lows, and to which was attached on a piece of white paper, the following inscription :? "Every man that don't vote the Radical ticket this is the way wc want to do him?hang hjiu by the neck." These Radical loyal league np grocs boldly proclaimed, too, that the noao who failed to register should receive thirty nine lashes ; if he failed to . ote at the elect in two huudred lashes, nud if he voted the Deal crutic ticket he should be hanged. Need vo be surprised, then, that white Southerners ire murdered in every part of the South and tl.it the murderers are not arrested '! The North ern friends of these black barbarians prot?ud not to know anything about their murdercus duiugs. It is clear that tho South under RtiH oul rule is fast tending to anarchy and t$m worse condition than St. Domingo was everi*. [At-to York Herald. At a meeting in Illinois, u resolution was offered, suggesting Mr. Pchdlcton as a Demo cratic candidate for President. Mr. Springe?, of Springfield, opposed the motion, .tud said : ;:Again, I am frank to say that I do nut know whether Mr. Peudlutou is the proper man to nominate or not. Aside from the ques tion of his unavailability in some of the States, 1 have another question that I would propound to him before I should favor his nominati- n for the Presidency. I should want to know of Mr. Pondleton, whether, in the event of Iiis constitutional election, counting out the negro voters of the negro State governments of tho South, he means to be President, oven if he )w to be sworu in at home, and fight his way i? Washington at the bead of an organize I Democratic army ? I fear it is coming to tin The Radicals mean to count the negro votes of ten negro governments, which havo no morj right to bo counted than have uu cquul nuuibi of votes in iluyti or Liberia, in order to clcc their man. If we are going to submit to tlii outrage, we may as well quit now. For I tel you we cauuet carry enough States nt th North to overcome tho negro votes of th South. Hence I am for no man for Preside!) who is not willing to stake bis property, hi life, his nil, for the cause; aud if constitution ally elected be willing to draw his sword, cnlj the Democratic hosts to arms, and claim th Presidential office at all hazards ! If Mr. Pen dleteii will do this, then I am for him, if not I am against him. If we mean 'business,' let u: understand ourselves, and uet accordingly. I child's phiy 1 want to bo counted nut." An interesting easo was 'concluded in ilicj 1 ?istriet Court yesterday. It will bo remember ed that on the twelfth of December last a fire occurred on the premises 345 King-street, then occupied by John Madden as a dry goods and shoe store, the circumstances of which sugges ted the probability of its being of an incendiary origin. An examination was conducted by M. II. Nathans, Esq., Chief of the Fire Depart ment, aided by one or more members of the Doard of Fire Masters, Lieutenant Jlendrickn, Chief of the Detective force, and some exports, the result of which pointed the finger of suspicion at Madden, who was shortly after wards indicted by Attorney-General Ilayuo for an attempt to commit arson. This suspicion was strengthened by the fact that Madden had his stoek of goods insured for an amount very much larger than its value, as appraised im mediately after the fire, and the additional cir cumstance that the fire began beneath the flooring of the store, and in a locality to which access could only be obtained by teariug it up, Madden and his wife were indicted, upon tho strength of these facts and suspicions, at the January term of the District Count, hut when the case was called he came into court, and representing the absence of witnesses who were material to his defence, obtained a traverse and was released upon giving a bond of oue thousand dollars for his appearance at the present term with M essrs. James Cantwell and Philip Fogartic as sureties. When the case was commenced on Thursday, it was ascertained that Madden and his wife had fled the District, and were, of course, beyond' tho jurisdiction of the Court The issue was tried however, as agaiust his sure tier?, and the testimony fully established tho facts represen ted, and' terminated in the conviction of Mad den, but a vordict of acquittal as to his wife. Tho result is that bts sureties are mulcted five hundred dollars each, and tho Company in which ho insured enjoys an exoneration for their liability for tho amount of his policy. Courier 'Zbth. Conquer with Kindness. I^ohcc hod a neighbor?a clever man?who came to me one day and said, "Esquire White, I want you to come and get your geese away." '?Why," said I, "what arc my geese doing?" "Thoy pick my pigs's cars when they arc eating, and drive t hum away; and I will not have it." : "What can I do,,' Buid I. "You must yoke them." "That I have not timo to do now," said I. "I do not see but they must run." " "If you don't take care of them I shall," said the shoemaker in anger.?"What do you say, Esquire'White?" UI cannot take care of them now, but I will pay for all damages." . "Well," said he, "you will find that a hard thing, I guess." So off ho went, and, and I heard a terrible squaiKhg among|tho geese. The next news was that three, of them was missing. My children wont and found them terribly man gled and dead, and thrown into the bushes. "Now said I "jTl.kecp still and let me pun ish him.

By this time the shoemaker came up in great haste after them. ??Have you seen any thing of my hogs V said ho. ?'Yes, Sir: you will find them yonder eating some corn which they tore down iu my held." "In your held ?" "Yes, Sir," said T, "hogs love com. you know : they were made to cat it." "How much mischief have they done," ? (.) not much!" said I. Well off ho went to look, and estimated the damage to be equal to a bushel and a half of corn. "O no," said I : "it can't be !" "Yob," said the shoemaker, "and I will pay you ovcrv cent of the damaire." j P^Tlie shoemaker blushed and went home. 1 The next winter when he came to settle, the : shoemaker determined to pay mo for my corn. I "No," said I, "I shall take nothing." K. K. K.?Tho Richmond Dispatch is re sponsible for thi following: The Kuklux Klan aro kallod upon to knsti gatc or. kill any kulled kusacs who may approve the konstitution being koncocted by tho kon tomptible knrpet-baggers at the kapitol.

They probably never before knew what it was, and we are not quite certaiu that we know even now, but wo hope to grow into a perfect under standing of it one of these days. Here it is: "What the law of gravitation is to the ma terial universe, love is to the intellectual and spiritual. As the former causes all terrestrial bodies to move in the most sublime harmony, so the latter is that all powerful, all potent in fluence which alone can cause all celestial and terrcstriul intelligent, beings aud organizations to move in the most perfect nnd sweetest har mony." Heigh ho. Why the President is Impeached.? "Cory O'Lanus," a humorous contributor to the Brooklyn Eagle, gives the following as the reasons for the impeachment of President Johnson. "Cory's" reasons certainly have some point: "For being Andrew Johnson. For aggravating Congress by referring to an obsolete document, known ns the Constitu tion, of the United States.,_ . For insisting that the Union has not been dissolved. For asserting that a white man is ns good as a negro. For maintaining that tho President has a right to exercise powers conferred upon the office J>y the aforesaid Constitution. Because Alabama didn't swallow the black draught of the Jacobin Constitution. For violation of the law against cruelty to animals, in trying to kick a dirty dng out of the war office." Items. \ Crecusboro merchant chains his grind stone- to a tree. There aro awful times! j The Conservatives in WUlinmsburg District I have protested the election. The Marlboro Bridge, on the Pee Dee was opened on the 2d iust. to the traveling public. The white men of Salisbury havo given a u colored barber, who voted the Conservative ticket, $250 to start a shop. I Hon. Robert Tooiub, of Georgia, is about to leave for Europe, to attend uu importaut law suit, iu which ho is interested. A. T. Stewart, the New York dry goods merchant, it is stated, pays his lawyer an an nual fee of 820,(100. A lawsuit in Iowa, about the ownership of a calf worth $18, liascast each of the parties $300. The expenses of the trials borne by the public amount to about the same sum. The judicial election iu Chicago, resulted with .-access to the Democrats of500 majority. Twenty-three thousand votes wore polled and the Democrats gain 2500. The Marion (S. C.) Crescent says the voting at that place, on the 1 1th, went, on quietly until about '.I p. iu., when a set of radicals chased and surrounded a colored man. with a desire to ??hang, draw aud quarter," because he voted the conservative ticket. The scheme for colonizing the Pacific coast with unmarried females from the Eastern States has, it is reported, been successful. Two humlrcd women, taken by the projector to Washington Territory, were married and provided with comfortable homes in two weeks after their arrival. The tendency of the negro towards advance ment generally begins aud ends in the assump tion of fino words. In Washington the white washers now designate themselves "w 11 ar tists," the bootblacks, "boot cnamclcrs," the wood sawyers "fuel preparorf.." Wc forbear descending further into the nomenclature of their peculiar callings, being content to leave thom to our reader's imagination.
