Why let (Oars thy choeks run down ? The form thou lovest is only sleeping, While the spirit wears a crown. She's no more oppressed wit sadness, Wandering in this val of tears ; But now wreatio-1 in smiles of gladness, At the throne of God appears. We know another bright link is broken, In the chain of parental love ; But there the severed link is waiting To 'o wedded in Heaven abovo. We know one holy tie is severed, Whichhas bound thee here on eart!', But now it tiraws Ohee nearer Heaven Where pariing, sighs ne'er have birth. Dry thy tears then, entle inother, Long to sce her back no more, Dut prepare thy soul to mcel her, Oaiyon bright, celestial shore. NEWv ,iHEHrY, Ky., July 16, 1871. Grailliar School Extraol'dinlary.

Weo learn from the Savannah Ad. vertiser of the 23d, that the tide in the river on Monday reached a higher point then it has for years. Under the influence of wind and tidoe, the waters rise to a fearful height, com pletely flooding the other side of the river and sub merging .the various buildings located there. The rice fields have necessailly felt this unf'or. tun ate condition of the river. On t~he Ogeechec, we hear of a total submer sion of rice plantations to a disastrous extent. The Savannah river planta. tions are badly damaged, and we hear complaints on all sides of the dismal prospeot ahead for planters. The bod ios of thir ty-two Conf'edor,. ate soldIers killed at.

It. 1ms already .eien mriade' kIlowVn that 27.000 male citizens of toimi nflixed their names, with their ad dress and occupation, to a letter to the l'o.e, expressimg their grief at the occupatioll of Rome by the Ital ian Governn.ent, and their anxiety to see the I'ope restored to his former in dependence. When this addres., with its 27,000 signatures, was pre. sented to the Pope, the other day, ho made a very remarkable speech, of which the following is a transla. tioln Yes, it is most true, and let us ren. der glory to God and thanks to God for imaking iL thus manifest that Rome has been true to herself. Heaven Grant that never may it have to be said of her : "Woe unto thee, Choraizin, woe unto thee, Bethsaidn, for if the mighty things had been done in Tyro and Sidon which have been done in thee, they would long ago have repented in sack cloth and ashes ; therefore, it shall bo more tolerable in the day of judgment for 'Tyre and Sidon thau for you." No! never can such words apply to Rome. The spirit of honor and loyalty which held you close bound to me, which in the midst of overflowing evil, keeps you in the straight path of justice with such abundant courage, renders you worthy s;ubjects of this H oly City, ompurpled with the blood of her no ble martys, and rendered illustrious by the heroic virtue of her multitude of confessors. The good works to which you devote yourselves with so great zeal, your labors for the mnainte nanmce and ,dif'usion of religion, will assured ly earn for you the blessing of God and the applause of all men of piety, not to may of all the just and upright. Mlay God keep you ever faithful to your good intentions, and presevre you from cont.aminat.ion of the evils which have overflowed this city. With my whole affection, I pour out my lenediction upon you and upon your families, and I bless all those who now, being outof Rome, are preveuted from subjoining their names as they would wish. -* W* Men have said that I am worn out and weary. True, I am weary of witnessing the iniquity, injustice and disorder around us ; I ani weary of the insults offered, day by day, to re. ligion inl this city, which was wont to sbine before the world as an exam plC of faith and morals ; I am weary of the oppression of the weak inno cent, of the insults offered to minis ters of the sanctuary, of the profana. tion of objects of our dearest venera tion. * * * Of all this I am weary, in truth ! But worn out and weary in the sense of being ready to surrender the cause committed to me ; in the sense of being ready to com1promise the struggle with injus tire, and of turning back from the pursuit of that Which is right-in this sense, no ! No, in this sense I am / Iot weary, and, by the help of God, ever shall it he said I became thus .weary.* * * Anew, I give you my benediction to bear up in this struggle in which you, too, are en goged ; and I in voke it, in copious measure oi your families, also, and on your substance. May it le with yoti thr ough life, and open for you the gates of an eternity of joy !" Riumor of Yellow Fever.

I"Our own city still maintains its excellenit healthy condition, as will be seen by thme weekly mortuary report, there were but two deaths among the whites, and eleven among the colored, during the past week being a decrease of five ini favor of the year 1871, for thme ecrresponding time."-,Saannamh Reu'>~icamn. The storm of thirty-aiv hours, that has recently visited Gharleston, is saidh, by the papers of that city, to be tihe heaviest of any for seventeen years, the waters being dlriven over the battery wall, East Bay sublimerged and many of the smaller islands oh. literated for the time being. In soe of tihe streets of the city rain anid mud were almost knee deep, arid it is said over eight inobes of rain foll; the highlest velocity of the wind being forty miles per hour. Trahffe in some of the streets was suspend ed, and the shipping wasm much incon venienced. The regular steamers of tihe Now York line wecr3 retarded, and one, the South Carolina, commanded by Gaptain Beckett, was unable to make a port.

'The ability of the principal speaker (Mubson, who has the honor of being the first negro admitted to the bar in this State) cannot be doubted.

Suratoga in Darknes. Considerable excitement was crea ted here on the 18th, shortly before nine o'clock, by the gradual going out of the gas in the village, leaving all the hotels, bar-rooms and streets in total darkness, exept what faint light could be obtain'ed from the sud denly impressed tallow dips. The Grand Union and Congress were put to an mt imense inconvenirce, Cpe cially the former, with its 1,800 boarders. In a few minutes candles were worth a dollar an inch ani scaree at that, while store-keepers having a )arrel or two of kerosene otn hatid suddenly found themselves rich. Te cause of the gas going" ont appears to have been the inadequate stplty on hand at the gas work., through the gross neligence of the company. It will take till morning before a new supply can ie m:le. The police force has been doubleI and every pro caut ion taken to protect the village against thieves. Oae of the humors of the darkness is the sudden impress ment of all the empty bottles int the village as makeshifts for candlesticks. -Ladies can be seen in the hotels nith their "Old IIeninessys," "O l Toins," 'Crow whiskey," and "Scot ch Ales," in abundance. - Cor. New York Wrorld. WVltal is a Syllcate. Recent finaucial negotiation in) con nection with Secretary Boutwell's new loan have brought into use among us a term heretofore utnknown in outr business eircle. It is said that a "syndiente"-has agreed to take the loan, antd an explanation of thte word has ntot as yet appeared. lIn the French commilercial law a "syndio"' is the assignee of all insolvent's or btank rupt's estate, and a "syndicat e" is thte body of assignees, or syndios. In thtis sense it is rather a jtke on thte Secretary's pot loan that it shtould be0 regarded abroad as a sort of a comnpo sitionl with creditors; but thte real meaning to be attacbed to the phrase is simiply that of a committee or board of directors, "syndic" in the Europeant busintess world answering substan. tially to a board, committee, or agen cy among us.-New York World. Dr. [[dl relates thte case of a man who was cured of biliousness by gointg without his supper andi drinking free. ly of lemontade.

Adjutant General Gorman arrived in this city 3esterdny from Robeson 'outity, where lie has been to look ifter Lowery and his gang. At Lum berton and elsewhere inl the county he consulted with the citizens as to the best means to be adopted to effect the capture or exterminatitin of the outlaws. Ile finally proposed a plan of hii own, which met with general favor and will put into execution at the earliest practicable moment. This plan so far as it is prudent, to divulge it, is as follows Gen or ian ithas commissioned Capt. F. M. Wisbart, in whom he scoms to have the utmitost confidenco, Us Colonel of 59th Regiment of Militia, and direct. ed hint to raise a company of fifty men by voluntary enlistment, to be composed of persons of the requisito nerve and determination to enable them to go into the field with the resolution to remain thoro until the object of their mission shall be accomn plished. In addition to thesc fifty volunteers there will be sent to the county a Company of fifty United States troops, who vill co operate with them. Gen. Gorman thinks a hundred mon, amply suflicient, to rid the county of the outliws, and oaletiu lated to be much more cifectual than a larger force. Gen. Gorman starts for hi-i home in Ittleigh this morning.- WI iming ton Star. A lurrermne of Stones. Iu Zarate, a city of the Argentino Republic, there happened, on the 8th of June last, a frightful hurricane of ston es. The Cordova Piensa de scribes it as follows : It was about half-past 4 A. M., the atmosphere without the slightest breeze, and suffheating ; the cloutds went on slowly ieccum ulating in great mnases in the West ; 5 A. M., struck, when a dull yet frightful sound was heard far olf to the Westward. A win ute afterwards the storm broke in an awful form. It begun with a sound like the disoargo of heavy artillery, with lightning. The Pampero wind swept over with unusual violence and fury, bringing with it a oloud of stones, such as never had been seen before. These stones were as big as goose eggs, fell everywhere, very few heing as small as that or a pigeon. Ilou-cs, huts and roofs of all sorts suf fered terribly ; some were knooked over, others unrooted, and all injured. Not a lane of glass or a public lamp sut vived unbroken, aid many were carried to a great di.taneo by the force of the wind. lBuildings exposed to the fury of the bl.st looked as if a rifle corps had had been doieg their hest ag;iiast, them. Many animals were reported killed, and one wonan and child. Fatal Affroys. An affray occurred four miles from Old Efingham, in this county. on Tuesday, the 15th inst., which re sulted in the death of one Oaroline Cusack, colored, at the hands of Richard Oborn, colored. Alexander Dowitt, colored, and Win. Warren, white, both living close to the Chesterfield litne, in this County, laud a little difficuilty about one month a. o ; during the same (lay the dispute was nettled and~ they be came friendly.

S..me weeks since allusion was made in the chicago papers to the in auguration in that city of a new en terpriso on a !arge salo-the build ing of ready-mado houses for shipment to the sparsely settled districts inl the interior, where skilled labor is scarco, and the facilities for house building meager. It now appeani from the Chicago press that the en ternrise has proved an immenseo ue. 0ess. The Tribune of a lato date con tains the following : "Il visiting the new harbor at South Chicago we noticed three of the cars of the Union Pacilio Railroad ComIpany loaded with four completo two story dwellinga conttining seven rooms each, with partitions, stairs, doors, windows, sash and casings, roofs, and trimmings for doors and windows completo, and which can be placed in complete condition for oc cupancy in two hourp after being un loaded frotm the cars. This is the first shipment on an order for two hundred dwellings given to the South Chicago Building Company. The buildings are constructei under the patent and diroction of 1). S. Whit tenhall, and will be furnished in every variety, and at prices that give them an attraction and merit over any other builings now used for the accommodation of population in new localities." Carpet llngg.er8 When Greeley returned from his Southern tour he denounced the car. pet-baggers in terms which they well merited. The Sprinifield Republican, im proving on G reeloy's blows, delivers the following : "They are doing more harm to the country to-day than the locust and catorpillar, or any other kindred pest. They are teaching the less in telligent and discriminating Southern people more heartily than ever ; they are debaucbing the freedmen ; they are bringing disgrace upon the vin tional government. That their rapacity is insatiable and that they steal every penny that they can lay their hands on, are comparatively trivial counts in the indictment against them. Yet this constant plundering is a very serious matter to the communities which are plunder ed. It ieans increased indebtedness and heavier taxation. It is just such rascality that is making the name of Republican a stonch in tihe Southern States., and bringing sus picion and emunity upon I tot ii migrants.

Very gloomy crop reports reach Charleston from the whole South,and it would som that the sections of country which escaped the floods and high winds, of Friday rnd Saturday, are suffering soverely from the long. continuing drought, Abovo Columbia, in this State, the rains wero light. Corn has been ter. ribly injured, a half crop of cotton is the bost that can be expected. Similar accounts are given by gentle men who have recently passed through the Georgia cotton region. The staple there is uaid to be paiched up by the dry heat. Upon the crop of long cotton the effet of the gales Is extremely dis. astrous. A plantation on John's Is land, which had the finest cotton in the neighborhood, was entirely sub. merged on Sunday. This crop is lost. Nor are the accounts from Edisto more encouraging. The crop was the finest since the war, and equal to any of the crops before the war, but, ao cording to the estimate of one of the most intelligent planters on the Is. land, the gale has reduced the crop by one-third. There is natut al disposition in the South to take a gloomy view of the crop prospect; because the last two months have nipped so many budding hopes, and becauso the Northern op erators are so universally sanguine. But, making every allowance for a tendency to look on tie dark side, we are coniident that, under the most favorable circumstances, the cotton crop of this State will be one-third less-than that of last year. And we dount tha any other Southern State will do much better.-Char. News. A "imorlal for Revenge6. A Paris correspondent makes the rather incrodible statement that "the Frenoh overnmont Is collecting statistics of the cost of the Gorman invasion-the requisitions in money and in kind, pillages, contribution of war, destruction and cost of rebuild ing public works, taxes levied, value of ammunition, arms, &a., captured the cost of supporting the German army of occupation, the $1,000,000, 000 paid, All those are to be eol looted and published in a volume, to be entitled 'iLo Memorial do la Revanohe.' It will be the bill to be presented to Germany when France is victorions in the war on Germany. 'Wo know our honor is flowinging out with our blood by those two gaping wouls, Alsace and Lorraine. We feel France cannot live with that frightful mutilation ; we know France must one day perish or close that wound by filling it with legions of Prussians corpses.' " But by the time France is likely to be in posi tion to attempt revenge, the next generation will have come to maturi ty and they may think tie! have something better to do than avenging the disasters of their fathers. "The avengoment of waterloo" was the Frenchman's dream through one generation, but now he appears to have comc to look to England rather as a natural enemy. It may prove to be so with Germany fifty years hene. Plain Talk About Royally in Eilgland. The London D~aily News has this frank declaration in its editorial col umn : It is not of the cost of Royalty that people coimplain, but ot the cost of Royaltyin retreat. It is not that the people do not want Royalty, but that they miss it and regret it. They want to see more of it, to feel its presence as the presiding genius and influence over society, as the visible embodiment and supreme oxpresslin of all that is grand and gracious, and hospitable and majestic in the histo. ry amnd traditions o'f the State.
