fodrg. A little Ehyme for Christmas Time. Long time ago, in Northern France? So monkish legends sav? Upon a certainmoi^irn^jusi^ Before ih.eyCnrlstmas Day, -4foTmonk" of good Saint Francis came, Upon this winter's morn, A widow, weeping, des/Jnte? A mother, wiM ??d loan The day beiote, a cruel band Of rol?DCES stole her boy? (Fe 'hose were lawlesB times)?they stole Her pride, her hope, her joy. These cruel robbers surely sware, They would her darling slay,. Except the wretched mother would A fitting ransom pay. And being very poor and weak, To the good monk she came, To beg that he would pay the price, In his Great Master's name. "Good Father, I beseech thee, by The hope thou.hast of good, I' the precious name of Him who died Upon the Holy Rood? "Of Him who drained the cup of. woe, That we might taste of joy, -Good Father, I beseech thee, save My hopeless captive boy." "Poor woman," sadly said the Monk, "Thy sorrows I deplore, , ^ And it grieves my heart to bid. thee go Unaided from our door. "But like th?i Great Apostles twain, Saint Pete r and Saint John, Before the Gate called Beautiful, Gold and silver have we nonet VThe Monks-of good Saint Francis learn With meekness to endure, The sorrows that-their Saviour knew, The sorrows of the poor. . "Thou see'st our chape! low and mean, : And dark as funeral pall, Thou see'st the wooden crucifix Upon the naked wall. 1 "No tesselated pavement rings Beneath our humble tread; No springing arch nor frescoed roof Hangs grandly overhead. "No painted window tells the tAlo. Of saint and martyr dead; ' No gifts are heaped upon our shrine? We.beg our daily bread." "Good Father, there are candle-sticks Of silver on the shrine; Oh, give these?I may ransom, then, That captive child of mine." The gentle Monk-was sore perplexed, And well his heart might falter, To think of selling to the world The gifts from off the altar. The good Monk bowed his head in prayer, To ask if this might be? And then into the mother's hand The precious gifts gave he. The_boy was bought, the moti^cf^?hecr No words of mine may teU; And lu " upon-the Oixristuiua Btc, A blessed rfliraole! The brothers of St. Francis met To celebrate the night "When shepherds beard the song of peace - Beiieath the new .star's lighL And when they oped the chapei door And thought to find but gloom, Behold a wonders glory filled That low and narrow room. A lambent light, as pure and white As erst at Pentecost, Descended on the chosen Twelve, Crowned with the Holy-Ghost I -. Two golden candle-sticks they saw, vair as the lloor of Heaven, Upon the simple altar, each - With burning tapers seven. And softly, as from upper air, A mystic voice was heard, Saying, "Whoso givcth to the poor He lendeth to the Lord." From Washington. "Washington, October 11.?The Demo? crats from the Northwest have had, sev? eral conferences relative to the present condition of political affairs. They gen? erally take the position set forth in Mc Clcrnard's and Vallandigham's speeches on yesterday, namely: that the Union can? not be disolved peaceablyj that the North? west will, rmd.er.no circumstances, consent to be cut off from the Gulf of Mexico, or from the city of New York; and that the Federal Government, notwithstanding its faults, is of inestimable value. Their lead? ing idea is that.of a Central Government, ?mbracing the Middle, "Western and Bor? der Slave States, but depending on future circumstances for its consummation. Secretary Cobb leaves "Washington to? morrow, for home. - He has prepared the people of Georgia to secede, calling upon them to arouse all their manhood,, so as, on the fourth of March, to announce and maintain their independence out of the TJnion, saying that they can never again expect equality and justice in it. He en? tertains no doubt either of their right or duty to secede. The President stated, in a recent con? versation with gentlemen, that he intend? ed to collect the revenue at Charleston, ,and in case the present Collector resigned, he would send an officer there for that purpose, and if resisted in the performance of his duties, the present law of Congress gave him ample power to enforce their collection ; which doubtless means that he ?would place a revenue officer on board a man-of-war, and collect them under Fort Moultrie. : The President, however, does not anticipate any such necessity on his part. It is stated to be an, understanding here with Senators and Representatives fromthe five States that are early to secede from TJnion, that their ordinances of seces? sion are to declare that all laws and trea / ties of the United States shall stand until all efforts or plans for a reunion of the States shall have failed. Besides the South Carolina Senator?, there are still absont from the city Sena? tor Johnson, of Alabama, Mallory, of Flor? ida, and Toombs, of Georgia. In the Senate to-day a resolution of in "quiry was introduced, as to whether the Federal army might not be reduc? ed. Notice was given of the introduction of a bill to admit Kansas, as a State, into the Union. It was made the special ordor for Tuesday. A long debate on Senator Powell's res? olution for the formation of-a Special Com ? mittee on the socession portion of the Message then ensued, and before any vote was taken, the Senate adjourned. The House of Representatives refused to excuso Messrs. Hawkins, of Florida, Boyce, of South Carolina, and Morrih. of Vermont, from serving on the Special Committee in relation to^thc President's Message. Mr. Hawkins declared, nevertheless, that he would not serve. A well written letter of resignation by Secretary Cobb, and the reply of the Pres? ident accepting it, appears in the papers to-day. Hon. W. H. Trcscot, of South Carolina, Assistant Secretary of State, has resigned that position to-day. In the House a dozen different Union saving propositions were introduced, de? bated, and referred. Several unimportant bills were pass? ed. Mr. Bonham, of South Carolina, has re? signed his position as a member of the Military Committee. Hons. Howell Cobb. and Lamar, of Mississippi, have gone home?the latter to attend the Mississippi State Conven? tion. Mr. Thomas,of Maryland,Commissioner of Patents, has been appointed and con? firmed as Secretary of the Treasury, in place of. Mr. Cobb. Governor Weiler, of California, has been confirmed as Minister to Mexico. Messrs. Miles, McQueen and Boyco had an interview with the President on Sun? day. The impression is gaining ground here that the secession of the Gulf States will force the Border States to go with them, to avoid being left in a hopeless minority in the present Confederacy; and that be? fore the 4th of March, Virginia and Mary? land will have joined the other Southern States. As theso States would carry the District of Columbia with them, the ques . tion is being asked here, where will Lin "lln^Pl jnaiifl-nm.rrwl ? Scott, of Colifornia, has expressed the opinion that his State will, in case of se? cession, declare for immediate indepen? dence. "Washington, December 12.?The pro? gress of the secession movement in Louis? iana excites a good deal of interest among the North-western members. They say they cannot permit it, that the Gulf States must not cut loose from tho great North? west. The secession movement is gaining ground in Maryland. The feeling is grow? ing stronger every day in Baltimore. It is now conceded that the Congres? sional consultation is hopeless, so far as practical results are concerned. Mr. Boyce, of South Carolina, attended tho meeting of the Committee of Thirty three, but said nothing. Mr. Hawkins, of Florida, was not present. Mr. Bcubcii Davis, of Mississippi, addressed the Com? mittee in an earnest speech, stating the grievances of the South, and declared him? self in favor of secession. Mr. Humphreys, of Now York, made a conciliator}- speech, saying that the rights of the South would be upheld and the country saved. Mr. Wigfall, of Texas, made an extreme speech, in the Senate, to-day. He spoke nearly three hours, and said, in the course of 1 is remarks, that ho soon expected to make one in the capitol of a Southern Con? federacy. "Washington, December 13.?In the Sonate, to-day, Mr. Johnson, of Tenncs seo, introduced a series of resolutions looking to the settlement of tho pending disunion difficulties. Among the resolu? tions, was one recommending that a sc le>et committee of thirteen be appointed, arid instructed to inquire into the expedi? ency of an amendment to the Constitu? tion?first, by authorizing a dividing lino in the Territories between slavery and freedom, on an equitable basis; second, compelling tho free States to return fugi? tives, or pay double their value; third, authorizing slave labor in tho Govern? ment work-shoj)s and other establish? ments in the slave States; fourth, Con? gress never to interfere with slavery in the District of* Columbia until it is abol? ished by Maryland, and not then without th? consent of the inhabitants and proper compensation; fifth, Congress never to molest the present ratio of slave repre? sentation; Sixth, that these provisions be unalterable. Laid over for future action. *WASiiiNGTON,December 13.?The House Committee of Thirty-three to day took the following action with regard to that portion of the President's Message in ref? erence to the attitude of the South: Mr. Rust, of Arkansas, offered tho fol? lowing resolution: Resolved, That in the opinion of this I Committee.thc existing, discontents among the -Southern people, and the growing hostility among them to the Federal Gov? ernment, is greatly to be regretted; and ?whether such discontents and hostility arc ?without just cause or not, any reasonable, proper constitutional remedies and effect? ual guaranties of their peculiar interests, as recognized by the Constitution, neces? sary to preserve the peace of the country and the perpetuity of the Union, should be promptly and cheerfully granted. The proposition of Mr. Rust was adopt? ed by a vote of yeas 22, nays 7. The ITon. Ilowell Cobb left here yester? day for Georgia via Baltimore. lie will leave Baltimorethis evening, taking the Bay route. He contemplates spending a day or two in Columbia. Messrs. Keitt and Miles, of South Caro? lina, have already gone home. The census returns are very unsatisfac? tory. They show a population of thirt} onc millions. The ratio of Congressional representation will be fixed at about one Representative for every 133,000 of popu? lation. There is again a difficulty in regard to the House Printing. Mr. Heart, the Su perintendantof Public Printing, last night addressed a note to Speaker Pcnnington, stating that Mr. Ford, the House Printer, could not be found, that the work was not executed, and recommended the office to be declared vacant. A paper is being circulated for signa? tures by the States Rights men in Con? gress. The paper declares that there is no hope left for the Cotton States, save in immediate secession, and urges the people to prepare for the worst. Nearly all the representatives of the Cotton States are signing it, and many also of those from the Border States. - Tliel Position of Louisiana. New Orleans, Dec. 12.?The General Assembly of Louisiana met at Baton Rouge on the 10th inst., in accordance with the call of Gov. Moore, who in his Message recommends a Convention and consultation with the Southern States, but is of opinion that the action of Lou i isiana should not be postponed under any result?the Convention should meet soon. Gov. Mooi'e is confident that Louisiana will not submit or acquiesco under Lin? coln's rule. He maintains the right of se? cession, and advises instant and active re? organization of the militia, and full prep? aration in every respect. The Message was referred to a com mitte of nine in the Senate and fifteen in the House. Senator Richard Taylor introduced a bill calling a Convention, and Senator Gardner resolutions for the appointment of Commissioners severally for the South ovn SHaiaa_ - .? Many" ^ri'icr~TcsoTiirt.';flr ^vcro--o/reiJcd, and among them some demanding thai the votes of the unfaithful States of the North should not be counted at the open? ing of the ballot reports from the Elec? tors. Senator Dcloney offered resolu? tions submitting the question of a South? ern Convention to the people, and ap? proving the. attitude of South Carolina. In the House, Mr. Lane, of New Or? leans, offered resolutions' calling a Con? vention, and expressing the determina? tion of Louisiana to act with her South? ern sisters. On the 11th, (Tuesday,) the joint com? mittee on the Message reported favorably on its leading recommendations, and also on Senator Gardner's bill. Randall Hunt desired to speak- on the Convention bill, and it was accordingly made the .order for the 12th. In the House, the Convention bill passed, fixing the election on the 7t h .Tan nary, and the meeting of the Convention on the 23d January, ISo'l. Gov. Moore announced in a special mes? sage the appointment and attendance of the Commissioner from Mississippi, where? upon he was invited to the privileges of the floor. - Mississippi Commissioners.?Wo learn from the Vicksburg Sun that the follow? ing Commissioners have been appointed by Gov. Pettus, of Mississippi: Hon. C. E. Hooker, of Hinds, Commis? sioner to South Carolina; Col. George R. Fall, of Washington, to Arkansas; Attor? ney-General Wharton, of Jackson, to Ten? nessee ; Hon. Wirt Adams, of Issaqucna, to Louisiana. Commissioners to the re? maining Southern States were to have been appointed on the 7th, Friday last. Coercion.?In a speech at Memphis' recently, Hon. Solon Borland said, "in re? gard to coercion, he knew of no one at the South who was in favor of it. He would be sorry to see a Southern State? South Carolina?go out of the Union alone and by precipitation, when, by wait? ing a short time, she would probably have the company of all the Southern States. Something had been said about treason against the Government, but a sovereign State could not commit treason ; nor docs any act of a citizen, by the command of a State, constitute him a traitor." -<? New Orleans, December 13.?The Sen? ate of Louisiana has passed the Conven? tion bill. The Mississippi Commissioner has announced the action of that State, asking co-operation. A resolution request? ing the Governor to communicate with other States, was adopted. -o This life's coutradictions are many. Salt water gives us fresh fish, and hot words produce a coklness. Southern. Literary Messenger on Dissolution. The December issue of this sterling Southern, journal is full of interesting, useful and suggestive articles, in prose and verse. But the article which must arrest at? tention and that which will stamp this is? sue of the Messenger as the issue of tho year, is an editorial discussion of disunion, in which the editor boldly advocates im? mediate scccession, and lauds and praises the position of South Carolina, in strains of noble eulogy. The loliowing opening sentence is the key note of the whole ar? ticle : <;The days of the greatest and happiest Republic the world ever saw are number? ed ; the fiat has gone forth, and the inex? orable fates (reversing the famous excla? mation of Andrew Jackson) have issued the stern a nd unchangeable decree, " The Union must and shall he dissolved." The article then justifies the attitude of South Carolina, closing its reference to the Palmetto Stato thus : (: And because her attitude is manly, because her action is wise, because it is expedient, because it is prompt, but in no wise precipitate, and because it ought not to have been post? poned, we believe it to be the part of wis? dom and of manliness in every Southern Stato to act in like manner; to join hands with her; to share her fate whatever it may be; and to throw heart and soul, mind, bod)' and estate, into the righteous balance of disunion." There is no mistaking these honest, out? spoken words, and these arc no stronger 5$;han others in the article. From first to last the editor talks like a man resolved and ready to peril everything in defence of his resol ution ; and these closing words of appeal to Virginia sound like the pray? er of a son wishing to preserve a mother, fondly loved, from foul dishonor. "Virginia stands stock still, while pre? cious moments are flying. What ails her? Is she stricken with the palsy of fear? This is no child's play going on around us. The time is big with gloomy portents. The sound of battle is in the air. The house must be set in order, for the men arc going to the wars. "Will Virginia speak? She must speak; she must act, :ind that quickly. It is due to the future that awaits her. It is due alike to the North and the South, but es? pecially to the South. Virginia must speak. A-il the States wait to hear her. Is there no tongue in the Commonwealth of Homy, of Randolph, of Clay ? Is there not.a man in all the land ? Has the lire died out utterly? Is the brave blood ex? tinct? For shame!" There will not be wanting those to con trHor-fTomniitting the "Messenger to th( fortunes of South Carolina and a South ern Confederacy. hut no man who will read the article will dei)3' that it has the ring of the pure coin about it. These arc brave words, and bravely spoken, and are a credit and honor to tho writer. A brave heart breathed itself upon this page, and vitalized every line. The whole article is manly, noble, eloquent, worthy of the days when Henry wrote and spake to rouse his countrymen to rev? olution and reel-handed war. Thank God there are yet men who dare to utter the burning indignation of their soul with? out fear, favor or affect ion !?Richmond Enquirer^ -^ Tiik Unity of Sknti.mknt.?The Green? ville Patriot, in noticing the election in that District, winch has heretofore been strongly Union, says: In this election the people have acted soberly and without any undue excite? ment. Aroused to a lull sense of the in? juries they had received and the abuses ? which had been heaped upon them in the Union, they have come forward in the ? spirit of freemen and have done all that in them lies towards throttling the tyran? ny of Northern oppression. They had suffered as long as evils were sufferablc, and when it was shown by the recent election of a sectional Chief Magistrate with abolition constituency, that" the point at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue had been fully reached, and that measures for self-preservation were im? peratively demanded, they have met the issue nobly. Truly, the mountains have responded to the seaboard, and will ever respond when a just cause is presented. Throughout the State there is a remark? able spirit of unanimity manifested by the late election. As far as heard from, not one man opposed to - the secession of South Carolina has been elected.] -?> Tiik Texas Programme.?The people of Harris County held their adjourned mass meeting on Saturday, the 1st inst. The programme adopted appeal's by far the most practical of any yet put before the people. It-provides for the election of delegates fairly to the Convention, in such a way as that they will represent the true sovereignty of the State?that is. the majority of the people. It provides for a Convention of manageable propor? tions, that is, of twice the size of the House of Representatives of the State Legislature. It provides that the dele? gates to the Convention shall be elected pursuant to the forms of law. The pro? gramme fs>r the Convention will be in harmony with any action that map be ta? ken by the State authorities. "We arc as? sured that tiniis programme has the sanc? tion of the majority of the State authori ties, both executive and judiciary. "We earnestly commend it to the people of the State, and ask their co-operation in carry? ing it out. P. S.?Since writing the above, we have, in the Galveston News, a. programme almost precisely like this, set forth by many of the State officers at Austin. We do not doubt the people will rapidly con? centrate on this plan. [Houston Telegraph. December 4. -* Delay?An Allegory.?Once Upon a' time?as the story tellers begin?there was a fleet of fifteen vessels out on a stormy sea. It was a pitchy dark night; but they were n caring a broad, deep har? bor, and a great pharos?or light-house? directed each ship in the safe* way to the shore. Now the -winds and the waves had scattered them all about; but one was far ahead. Those behind did not know where each other were; but they all knew where the foremost was, for they could see the flag at its mast-head flutter and flash through the storm, in the light of the pharos, or light-house. Moreover, to those behind, the cliffy and dangerous parts of the shore appeared like dense clouds on the horizon; and, in spite of the breadth of the harbor, they were in danger of drifting to the rocks on either side, and so perishing. But the ship before could see the dangers, and shun them. Notwithstanding these facts, the pilots of the hinder ships began to cry out to the one ahead?" Wait, and lets all go into the harbor together "; and, forth? with, called to each other "come hither! come hither!" In those old, old days, men had "lungs of brass" and the voice of a Cyclops; and you may depend, the pilots, who roared with all .their might, could be heard. Their cries, however, were wisely heeded not ; and so that pen? non, streaming away up in the stormy light. guided all safely ashore. We doubt not. if the foolish calls of the pilots had been listened to. in their efforts to get to? gether on the dark sea instead of the lu? minous shore at the light-house, the ships would have been scattered far and wide, and wrecked upon the rock-ribbed coast. ?

THE DAILY GLOBE will contain a report of the Debates in both branches of Congress as taker down by reporters, equcal, at least to any corps oi short hand-writers iu this, or iu an}' oilier country. A majority of them will each, be uble to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour, while the av? erage number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven thousand five hundred words an hour. When the debates of a day do not make more than forty-five columns, they will appear iu The Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the news of the day, together with such editorial articles as may be suggested by pass? ing events. THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPEN? DIX will contain n report of all the Debates iu Con? gress, revised by the speakers, the Messages of the I'residtnl of the United States, the Annual Reports of the Heads of the Executive Departments, the Laws passed during the sessions, and copions in? dexes to all. They will be printed on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, at least 2,000 pages. This is acknowledged to be the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking for data the average num? ber of words it contains. The coining session will, without doubt, be an unusually interesting one, because the debates will, in a great measure, be upon the policy of the Pres? ident elect, und The Globe will be, as it has been for many years past, the only source from which full debates of Congress can be obtained.
