MONDAY MORNING. JANUARY 28,1807. TILE CHESS BOARD. BT OWES MEREDITH. My little lovo, do yon remember. Ere we were grown s<? sadly wisc, Those evenings in tb? bleak December, Curtaia'd warm from tho snowy weather, When you and I played ckeas toijethor, Checkmated by each other's eyes ? AB ! still I seo your soft whito hand Hovering warm o'er quoon and knight, Brave pawns in valiant battlo stand, The double castles guard the wings, The bjajbcp. bent oa distant things, Moves sildug through the fight. Our fingers touch, our glances meet And falter; falls your goldon hair AgaiuBt my cheek; your bosom sweet Is heaving. .. own the field your queen RideB Blow her soldiery between, And checks me unaware. Ah, me I the little battle's done; Dispersed is all its chivalry. Full many a move since then, have we, "Mid life's perplexing checkers made, And many a game with Fortune played What is it wo have won? This, thi9 at least- f this alone That never, nover, nevermore, As in thOBe old still nights of yore, (Ero wa were grown so Badly wise,) Cen you and I shut out the skies, Shut out the world and wintry weathor, And, eyes exchanging warmth with oyos. Play cbeas, as then we played, together 1 Our New York Letter. [FROM OUR SPECIAL COB RESPONDENT. ] NEW TOBE, January 23.-Tho presentation of a gold medal to EDWIN BOOTH last night at the Win? ter Garden was witnessed by as many persons as the house could accommodate-in fact, by hun? dreds more than could be accommodated with any degree of comfort-for men and women wore pack? ed together so closely that it was almost impos? sible to get one's hand in ono's own pockot, wherefore I have no doubi that many hands went into foreign pockots, and came out with a now kind of foreign exchango-an exchange which is a . robbery. BOOTH played Hamlet in his best Btyle ; he oven surpassed himself, and held the audience spoil-bound. It wore impossible to enumerate the points of excellence. It was one grand point from beginning to end. A short time after the conclusion of the play the curtain again rose and exposed to view a num? ber of our mo3t respected citizens, standing in a semi-circle. Among the emeriti werj Admirals Farragut and Palmer, Major-Gen. R. Andorson, Hon. George Bancroft, Mayor Honman and others. . The medal was prosouted with a suitable address by Wm. Fullerton, Esq. Booth niaoo a Bimplo but eloquent reply, whioh was rooeived with most en? thusiastic applause I am glad I was present, and shall not soon forget this memorar? evening at the Winter Garden. The ship Mercury sailed for Havre yesterday, laden with a cargo of gooda for the Paris Exposi? tion-American firo-arms, American pictures, American pianos, and, piobably, Gorman ones too, home made; tova, ambulances, lamps, books, in short, a variod" assoi truest or everything in general Her cargo is estimated to be worth about $40C>,000. The Mercury in the dock had been ready for several days past, but could not go down in tho bay till the mercury in the thermometer went up a t?t?o. and some of the ice in tho harbor was dis? posed to take on tho melting mood. The Ladies' New York Southern Relief Associa? tion has, up to the present time, received a littlo over eleven hundred dollars to be devoted to tho good cause. This amount is so insignificantly small and inadquato to the wants of tho suf? fering masses in tho South, that I fear I jumped to a rather hasty conclusion when I judged, from the mann:r in whioh contributions flowed m at lirst, that a respectable amount would be collected. It seems I was mistaken in thinking the New York Fair would yield as much or mero than tho Balti? more Southern Fair. I learn from a member of the Gold Board that the entrance fee in future is to be raised to throe thousand dollars, instead of one thousand as here? tofore. The position of Secretary of tho Gold Board is still held by one of your most talented young lawyers, J. W. Moses, Esq., of Charleston, and it said that no one has ever filled the of lice with such satisfaction to the members of the Board. Great is Barnum, and humbug is his profit. Tho chief attraction at the Museum just now is "Unelo Tom's Cabin," in five acts, twelve tableaux, etc. This "Life Drama," which had its origin in tho fertile brain of Mrs. Uncle Harriot Beecher Tom Cabin Stowe, is a great card with the Down-east greenies, almost the only visitors now of the grcai, menagerie. Mrs. Stowe's novel, over which so many boarding school misses have shed buckets full of sentimental tears, was, in itself, an extrava? gant travestie of Southern life; but when recast, as this has been, by the hVnt of the dark lantern of tho late war, you may imagine how much verisimili ? tude there is loft m these scenes and characters, to tUoac you Olid I lia YT? luxown tm tho old planta? tion. If any respectable old darkey of your city should, by chance, stumble in upon this perform? ance and near the hypocritical snuffling (in bad English) of this Unete Tom,-got up, with burnt cork, regardless of expense, or in the fantastic pirunetting of Barnum's Topsy,-ho would cover - his face with his hands and beat a hasty retreat, feeling sure that he had got into a- dreadful wicked place. But the verdant - spectators from tho rural parts are per? fectly delighted, behove everything they see or hear; and, I have no doubt, think they are learn ing a great deal about Southern life and society St. Clair and Legree to them are average speci? mens of the Southern planters-the one of the re? fined, careless, thriftless, easv-tempered, voluptu? aries; the other of the hard-working, energetic slave-driver, who delights in no tl ling so much as in whipping niggers to death; specially good nig? gers hie Uncle Tom. With the speeches of Sum? ner, Butler, Boutwell, &c. on the stump or in thc Globe, and such scenic exhibitions, not only hero, but in every city of tho North, you cannot bo sur? prised that the Northern masses should remain in . ignorance of the actual condition of men and things in the South. Their suffrages are cast upon such misconception; and designing politicians and demagogues make it their business to see that their peoplo shall remain in ignorance and dark? ness. A ray of fight would rout the whole noisome flock of these unclean bats. ''Matches are made in Heaven*-not all; some ara made at the other place-the Lucifer matches, ? for instance. And do you know it is a great deal easier to get married hore,than unmarried? The ?larson's fee ?B not a circumstance to iho la wyora' oes, costs, -'maintenance," etc.. if a gentleinm should see fit to attempt a conjugal d?barrassment. Nevertheless, there aro mon who bravo all these obstacles,-so, at least, I am led to judge from the batch of decrees of divorces rendered yesterday by the Supreme Court. Justice Barnard* had th? honor to un-form the osromony. People here have got BO used to it, that thev think no moro of getting divorced than the unsophisticated folk down your way of getting married; and ere long, I fear, "hus? bands and wives will "change places" as -often as now do servant girls; in which caso the Intelligence Offices will doubtless extend their efforts and em? brace this branch of the busbies' also. Thc places to be filled will be advertised as "vacancies, and "original vacancies," and the advertiser,-whether the proprietor of a vacancy or the candidate to fill one,-should in each case bo required to bring a suitable "character from tho last party thoy were with." There will then be no longer any oc? casion for tho chaste notices in the Now York Her? ald's "Persocal" column. The weather hore is not so severely and unmer? cifully cold h s it has been, but the snow lies piled np high. Clean white snow that has not been much trodden on-pure, beautiful, clean, roman? tic snow, suoh as we see in pictures, and road of in nov?is-is a very agreeable sight; but muddy snow, dirty snow-snow that looks Uko frozen mud, and that soils your boots and pants as you step into it almost knee deep-is exceedingly un? romantic, stale, flat-no. not nut-and impronta- I it ble, except to boot and shoe makers, tho sole par- 1< ties bonefitted being those who have tho caro of soles. Such snow do we enjoy at present-through such has Moultrie to wado to mau this indictment. MOULTRIE. The University of the South. A circular, says the Augusta Constitutionalist, from the Right Rev. WM. M. GBEEN, Bishop of Mississippi, and, as the successor of the lato Bish? op ELLIOT, of Georgia, Chancellor of the Univer? sity of the South, announces that Bishop Quix TABD, of Tennessee, has been appointed to visit the Dioceses of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkan? sas, Texas and Tennessee, to present tho claims of that enterprise, and solicit subscriptions for the prosecution of the work. The circular setB forth the necessity which sug? gested this grand educational scheme, the origin of its foundation, and the fact of its history to the present time, and adds : To the oft-repeated quest ion : "Will you attempt, with youi diminished resources, to carrv out your undertaking on the same extended scale?"" the answer is, "By the help of God wo will." Such was the uuanimous and unhesitating re?oive of the Board of Trustees at their late session. Our laud d possessions remain to us as undiminished in title or extent, and unsurpassable for every advantage that we could desire. We can rely upon one-fourth, if not more, of our subscription hst; and, for tho future, wo have an abiding confidence in the good seose and liberality of our people. What we need for immediate uso is about twentv-frve thousand doUars or fifty thousand in hand, for the purpose of erecting buildings, which will ?afficc until we can avail ourselves of what .s on our subscription hst, and until the condition of otu- countrv should become something like what it was before tho war. In anticipation of these larger accommodations' and as a pledge that om- work has boen recom? menced in earnest, a classical school of high cha? racter has been established at Winchester, in tho valley below, numbering already one hunch ed and forty pupils; and connected with it is a theological department, trith an increasing class of students. As soon as either of the above named sums shall be obtained, tho required buildings will bo pushed to completion, an \ admittance given to the many vouths who are now knocking anxiously at our doors. _ _ RATLBDAD S?BSfiapnoi?.-Tho city of Louisville (Ky.) bas, by a popular vote, consented to sub? scribe one minion dollars to completo thc Lebanon branch of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. This subscription, we learn, cusures tho comple? tion of a railroad from Louisville to Cumberland Gap and Knoxville, Tenn. AU that is now neces? sary to-put Charleston in direct connection with Louisville and Cincinnati is the building of the Rabun Gap Railroad from Walhalla, ia this State, to Knoxville, Tenn., upon which a large amount of work bas alraady been done. lc li M B S: fi H H ti 0 O o O Nr N Ci Ci Ci D; Bl R; 0( in su m co pi w an ra au Ti bu pr do lt <J7 Oa an lat 3 of u ? ib? 1st Ri< Or. pu ] bc* bu cot giv rel do. cas OOO kh UPS bei .?I sid ele 16a poi wei S vie vac bbc lOV? clos Isla fair net, COMMERCIAL.
